PAUti SIX A New Serial ML blond jSs goddess Iy IlerLcrl Jensen UlUQUOR STOCKS III ..-.sS.- Frank Orahame, i . waiting to see the great Hiilorg, movie executive, about a llexican picture, sees a disturbing shadow on the window of the office He outs hie appointment, and rindi footprints on the lawn outside the office. He watches Janice Kent, tnot'( etar, drive away trom the office in her car and watches a second ear follow it. On an im pulse he orders a taxi to follow the two cars. The taxi driver loses them, but tellh Orahame he believes he knows where they went. Chapter Tw THE FIGH . ORAHAME shrugged slightly and relaxed. He took I newspaper from his overcoat pocket and read a line or two here and there. Street lights, flashing by, gave Indifferent Illumination. There was a story about Langton who bad crashed Into a West Indian hurricane tome months before. Some new theory, thought Grahame, that toe famoua flyer bad not died In that storm. Poor Bill Langton. Why didn't tbey let bis name alone? He was gone and that was the end to It. Orabame began to fool Impatient. The brief evening rain had passed, leaving the pavements with a treach erous sheen. Grahame stirred for ward In bis scat He saw tbat they were swinging Into the hairpin that big man's rfen. oln. He pitched toward Grahame, who stepped sideways to let bin) fall. Grahame looked at the girl. Her eyes, ho noticed, were blue and wide: her balr was tbe color ol coined gold. He felt suddenly bareheaded and embarrassed, and looked for his hat Ho found it, spotted and crushed, beneath tbe figure of tbe recumbent man. Pushing It Into some sem blance of Its original shape, thought fully he survoyed It a moment, and placed it on bis bead. Ho rubbed his right knuckles with the palm of his left band. He cleared bis throat "Well " he began Inanely, when the motorcy cles arrived. The police kicked tbe stands be hind the wheels, and approached. One of them opened a notebook. "Whoopee?" he suggested weari ly. "Namee, please. Howd't happen. Is the man dead?" Grahame explained. Once, while he talked, ho looked toward tbe black car for confirmation, and saw that altbough the girl's, face was hidden In the shadow, her bead nod ded briskly. He said nothing of hav ing followed the cars from tbe stu dio, but began his statement as from ' the time his headlights had flashed upon the two cars at the curb. "And so," he concluded, "I bit blm." SUBJECT TO TAX PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 18 -J. W.

By GLENN CHAFFIN and HAL FOKKESI "Trtat fluys jusi back from 8outh America." la tlio Juncture of Laurol and Hol lywood boulevards. The cab loBt Us footing upon the slick crown. It skidded for a sick ening split second. Tbe' headllRht's glare swerved across stucco house- fronts, then Hashed upon the lac quered surfaces of two cars at the farther curb. Grahame dropped the newspapor he hold In his lop. He clutch! at the door handle. In that brief cam era-simp glimpse Orahame saw that there had been an accident Figures of men had been moving about the cars. With a sense of shock he realized that one had been a black limousine and the other tan in color, He lifted bis hand to rap on the panel. Aa be did ad. the cab's rubber found trac tion. Brakea squealed. He Jerkod at the door handle. He ran back toward the cars. Oiie, he saw was a black and gold-trim med limousine halfway on the aide walk and against a hydrant. The tan nose of a nondescript car was against tho sleek side of the other like a slug against ehony. A trail yards behind It, showed where tires had slid ovor the pavement. As he approachod, Orabame's mind registered two fncts: he would have sworn that he'd seen four fig ures outlined against the tan ear here wera but two, a largo man who lurched toward a little one. Orahame's drlvor had turned his cab so that the headlights glowed upon the scene. Tbe Utile man a Japanese tn dark uniform and cap was retreating: the aggrossor ad vanced with chin outthrust, and an arm dranrn backward tn a gesture unmistakable. A girl Qrahame's eyes widened at her beauty leaned forward from the rear seat of the black and gold car. Her fingertips were pressed against her mouth. "Hold on I" called Ornhamo. TUB large man pivoted toward Grahame. Small eyes, set In a face heavy and sullen, blinked In the glare. The man's arm lashed for ward. Grahame swerved his head, spoiled the timing of the blow. He countered with a vicious right as swift and as sure as a falcon's drop. Knuckles slapped against bone. Tbe "T'llE policeman looked thought 1 fully at the slumbering Strang or, and back at Grahame, and said, "Uhhuh. What's your namo?" "Orahame. F. A. Grahame." Tho ofllcor frownod and wot the Lip of his pencil. His companion, who had complet ed an Inspection of the cars, offoredv "That's the guy who Just come back from South America." The book snappod shut. The girl allowed the light to fall upon her face, and leaned forward toward the men. "Frank Grahamoi" she exclaimed. "Oh, 1 knew you were someone Im portant!" "Hullo. Miss Kent," said the ofB cer. Grahame looked quickly at the girl. Of courBO he recognized her now. Janice Kent. Really, she was much more beautiful than her pic tures showed her. He was conttclous at once of two unrelated thoughts: that photography was an inadequate art, and that horenfter there would be real satisfaction to write on offi cial documents, "permanent resi dence: Hollywood." He observod that the police had lifted the half-conscious man to the sidewalk, and wore shoving the tan car away from the black one. 'It's only your paintwork dam aged," said the ofllcor of the note book to the Japanese. "Hottor take Mini Kent home now. We'll take enro of him." He pointed to the drlvor of the tan car who was lean Ing against tbe lamp-post surveying the scene with stupid eyos. ; "Grahame . . . roport at the pre- clnct station . . . tomorrow will do. Send your driver down, too, Miss Kont." "Would you mind seeing me home, Mr. Grahame?" asked the girl softly. The man trom the cnb took the bill Grahame extended him and walked back toward hts car.
