..-.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."

TAILSPIN TOMMY The Battle In The Cab!

"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. Gra
hame got In boalde the girl. A tew
minutes Inter the car purred smooth
ly toward Doverly Hills.
The girl pressed her gloved fin
gers upon Grnbame's coot sloevo.
Thank you . . . very much," she
said.
