CHAPTER XLVI
Brendn'a expression altered In -atautly.
- There wqs Just time for a
quick glance into the mirror to rc
aesuro herself. Angry color flamed
In her cheeks but that was all right.
Rather becoming.
"I'll get out as jkxhi as I can,"
Phillips promised beneath his breath.
They heard the hall door open
and close, tho murmur of voices
and then footsteps. Brenda, radiant
and smiling now, hurried to greet
the newcomer.
."Mr. Harrisl" she said with sac
cahrlno Inflection. "This is such a
pleasure "
"And for me, too, MJss Vail."
The man on the threshold was
young looking. Tall, well set up
and rather handsome. His hair and
eyes were dark. He wore a dark
r,lt, carried a brief case. As he
spoke he stepped forward, survey
ing the room with a swift glance
and his eyes turned to Dan.
Brenda intervened. "Mr. Harris,"
she said quickly, "this is Mr. Phil
ips. He's why, why, DAN I"
For suddenly .Dan Phillips had
thrown his head back and burst
into a shout of laughter. "MJr. Har
ris I" ho exclaimed. "So this Is
your Mi-. Harris, Is it! Oh, this Is
too much !"
The laughing continued, became
noisier.,
Brenda Vail sold hotly, "I don't
know "what you're laughing at, I
don't understand 1"
All at once she saw that some

thing had happened to 1fitr. Harris.
The brisk, business-like manner
was gone. Harris was yes, he
looked sheepish. He was actually
grinning, looking at Dan as though
the two knew each other. It was
incredible.
"What's what- mis ,aU about?"
the woman asked helplessly. "I'd
like to know the Joke, too," she
looked at Harris. "Your-you are Mr.
Harris, aren't you? That's your name,
isn't it? Do you know Mr. Phillips?"
Tho stranger's face sobered. "Yes,
I know htm," he answered. "I didn't
expect to see him here, though. It's
rather a surprise. Changes things
somewhat. I well, with Dan here
I suppose I may as well be frank.
I'm the Mr. HarriB you were expect
ing, Miss' Vail, and then again, I'm
not. My name Is Harris that is,
my middle name. You . had a note
from me saying I'd call this afternoon
to talk to you about picture rights
on your stories. The fact Is well,
I'm not a representative of United
Actors as I told you"
"You're, not with United Actors?
Then you're not the man who, wrote
mel"
"Oh, yes I am. I wrote the let-,
ters and sent themj to. a friend of
mine to remall from New York."
"But, Mr. Harris I" Brenda Vall's
face had lost its animation. She was
staring at the man uncomprehend
ingly, almost stupidly, "If you're
not the Mr. Harris, who arc you?"
she demanded. , '
"My name Is Pearson, Miss Vail.
Max Harris Pearson. . I'm on Tho
News."
"You on The News! You mean
hero in Wellington? You mean you
havsiVt anything to do1 with motion
pictures? Then United Actors they
dor.'t want my stories? ? Suddenly
sho turned on Pearson with blowing
anger. "What did you do it for?" she

cried. "How dare you. Oh, but there
must be a law against this sort of
thing. I'll see that you pay for HI
Tried to trap me, didn't youl Thought
you'd get money " .
Brenda's afternoon tiad oeen too
much for her. She snatched up the
nearest thing at hand, a pottery
vuiro, and hurled it across the room.
The vase hit the wall, shattered Into
pieces. Brenda's anger was not ap
peased. She caught up a cushion
from the davenport, ripping the silk
so that the cotton lining fell to the
floor.
"What did you do it for?" she
screamed.
The two men exchanged glances,
A hysterical woman is not a pleas
ant sight. Phillips said, "There's
no use losing control of yourself,
Brenda. People will hear you-"
"What if they dol Do you under
stand what he's .telling me? It
nieano I can't go to Hollywood I
Tho money I'd counted on $10,000
at least! it means there won't be
any money! What am I to do now?
I've never been so humiliated, So
so mistreated. I'll see that you
pay for this. I'll see that you
suffer I"
Pearson was actually sorry for her.
Rago had made Brenda Vail Into a
haggard, shrew-like old woman. She
looked years beyond her age. Her
lined, twisted face was pathetic.
"I'm sorry," he said sincerely. "I
shouldn't have done it. There were
reasons but4-well, there's mo xtx
going Into that. MJss Vail, I de
liberately deceived you and I de
servo whatever you think of me
But after I've said I'm sorry I'm
afraid thero's nothing more to be "
"Oh, you think that, do you?"
Brenda snapped. "Well, you'll find
there's plenty I can do about It.
I'll have you arrested. I'm going
to make you pay "
"I'm afraid you won't be able to
do that," the young man said quiet
ly. "You see. Miss Vail, I've been
a newspaperman too long to take
chances where law is concerned.
There was no mention of money in
my letters. I didn't sign anyone
else's name. When you examine
those letters closely you'll find
there's nothing whatever in them on
which you can base charges."
"You think I'd believe that? You
think I'd even listen to you? We.ll,
I'm going to see my lawyer!"
"Then you'll only be obliged to
pay fees for nothing. It will be
rather foolish." ,
Perhaps Brenda believed biro. Per
haps she saw that suddenly every
ono of her glamorous dreams had
faded. The vision of Brenda Vail,
the great scenario writer her name
flashing on the silver screen her
photograph in newspapers wealth,
fame, Influential acquaintances all
that had vanished. The woman turn
ed away, covering her face with her
hands.
"We'd better go," Phillips said.
"Brenda doesn't want us here,
Max." ,
"Yes, go! I never want to see
cither of you again I Get out of my
Bight, I- tell you!"
Her angry, high-pitched voice folr
lowed them out into the hall.
Silently the two men entered the
elevator and rode to the, ground
floor. They stepped out on the
street and Phillips was surprised
to see how light it was. A little
after five o'clock. It seemed hours
sinco he had entered Brenda's apart
ment but in reality it was less than
45 minutes.
"Car'u parked here on the right,"
Pearson said. They turned a cor
ner, got Into the roadster, and
Pearson Btarted the engine They
had traveled several blocks before
either spoke again. Then Dan said:
.V The re ,ar., several jjhings about
all' this I'don'fe get!"
"There's a lot r don't get, either.
Guess all I did was to make a. fool of
myself."
The lines of Phillips' face had hard
ened. "You're nob the- only qnol"
he said venomously.
"Look herel" It was Pearson
speaking. . "Don't tell mo if you
dor.'t want to but there's one thing
I'd like to ask. Are you and Bren
da Vail I mean do you ?"
"You heard her say she never
wanted to see me again, didn't you?
Well. I can assure you it's mutual!
Whafs more, she never win see me.
I'll take care of that all right!"
"But what about your play?"
"What about your motion picture
company? Brenda was explaining
to me Just before you came that
the play's bo bad the agents laughed
as It. Unfortunately, it wasn't sup
posed to be comedy. Oh. I've been
cettlmr a line on myself all
right'-" -
Tin Rind of it." Pearson told him. '
"I was beginning to think you'd lost1
your head entirely. That's how I got
Into this mix-up. Senseless appar
ently. I suppose that's what usually
comes from stepping into other peo
ple's affairs. But I couldn't stand by
and see a dame like this Vail woman
put the skids on youl I figured that
if I could cet her interested In do
ing to Hollywood make her think she
had a chance at the big dough she s,
well, show up in her true colors. She's
vain, of course. Terribly vain. You
see I took the trouble to look up
Brenda Vail rather thoroughly' .
"How'd you do that?"
"Oh, sent a couple wires. You 1
didn't happen to know about Bren
da's marriage, did you?" .
"Married? But she a notr ?"
"No, she Isn't married xiow. Hus
band, died two years ago killed in
a taxi smash-up. $ccms he was
cra?y about Brenda and she led 1
mm arouna by uio nose. The dope
is that this husband could really
wrlto and people who . knew both
of. them InsiBt he wrote the maga
zine stories printed under uremia's
by-line. At any rate she hasn't had
a thing published since his death."
Phillips' lips tightened but be did
not speak... '
"Listen, Don," 'Pearson- went oil
"X hope you're not sore about what
I tried to do. Suppose I should
have known the thing was silly but
it seemed to work. At least she fell
for those letters. I wouldn't have
tried such a thing if I hadn't known
about the phoney game Brenda
pulled."
"I'm not soro," Phillips assured
hrn "At least, not at you, When
I think what ft complete idiot I've
been t"
"Forget It. She's not worth wor
