Some watchful wariness seemed to relax within him. That curious ano tnnoylng embarrassment he was utu. i'Ue ucuideul liaell was curious. It was so unnecessary. The tan car attempted to pass us. It pressed us into tho curb. Yet, at that place, the street Is wide. The man whom you struck was driving.

There was the chance that Bhe might misunder stand the prompting that had drawn him Hfter the three men In the tan car. He tingled with the possibili ties of his embarrassment were she to believe It had been the black car he followed. He concluded, "Yes, that was probably It." "Yes-s." The girl's voice was hesi tant. Grahame said quickly, "You don't think so? Did you recognize either of them?" Reflectively she looked through the window. "I don't know." She shrugged. "But no. It couldn't be ho." She laughed a little. "He drives a much nicer automobile." "Maybe his friends don't," replied Grahame with a trace of grlmneBS. "Who Is he?

It was wltu a growing won der tbat bo realized tbat be felt at ease, almost, with tbla gorgeous girl who was one of the world's beauties. Her essential femlnlulty was such tbat there lived not a man who saw her screened face that did not feel that tug of response to ber appeal. Grahams knew. In a vague way, that this Quality of hers was not a personal one. There were other ac tresses certainly with equally cap tivating faces, with similarly charm- lng figures, but what Janice Kent bad and I was a quality tbat worn en approved of as weft as their men was, as Hogarth, hor favorite di rector, expressed It, "A universal aweethoart appeal." A pal of Grahame's among the stunt flyers bad quoted Myborg who paid Janice Kent hor salary as saying, "Tbat girl, y'understand, has something that makes men love their wives better." GRAHAME. watching her profile as the street lights threr pat terns of shadows across It, realised that he could quite i.gree with any eulogy of Janice Kent. He felt that although he had known hor but a few minutes, ho of all men could solve her charm could he hut ex press It In words. She made a fellow leel comfort able, that was It; a hnmoly way to say It, but accurate He was enn scions of a flush mounting to hit cheeks. He appreciated that ho waa not the llrtt man who believed that he wae uniquely appreciative of a particular woman. He was level beaded enough to roallte that he was. perhaps, not the first man to consider himself an authority on Janice Kent's charm. Like a swimmer wading from the ahallowt'lnlo deeper water he real ised that he must press forward carefully. He drew In a dee,) breath. He tald. "Miss Kent, did you no tice any other men about the tan car. To me It teamed "Yet." the answered quickly. "I think the accident may have boen planned. I can add a little to that story, perhaps. They'll question this man you think you saw. It should be easy for him to explain M "KTO, NO I" Hor volco hold a shade of anxiety, "f'd rather you wouldn't. Indeed, ft was probably my Imagination. 1 talkod with him to day lu .Mr. Myberg's ofllco. He la a gentleman from Central America a Mr. Ortega who Is to make ar rangements for the foreign scones of my new picture." "Still," mused Grahame, his thoughts still upon tbe almost-re-hearsed aspect of the three men'a actions outside tho studio, "It might be Just as well to ask hi m a few questions." No." Thero was flnnllty Iti Janice Kent's tone, an odgo of au thority. Grahame was mildly sur prised. While hor Insistence puzzled him, nevertheless his wonder was chiefly that this nppnrently frail slip of a girl could be so decisive. Somehow within the bounds of his knowlodgo and beliefs of women, he assumod that It was the man even In such casual little emergencies such as this one who made the de cisions. He acknowledged that he was a little at a loss and smiled wry ly to himself. Ho recalled what Bill Langlon had said to him four years ago, before Dill had made his epoch making non-stop Atlantlo flight, be fore Hill bad become the national hero. lo had told Grahame that their advance In the knowledge of women had slopped when they'd boon eight een upon that gray morning In France when their motors had hurled them lnlo their first foggy dog fight over Flnnders. "From that point on, fella," 6111 had snld, "ws got sorlous." Soatcd beside Janice Kent Gra hame smiled a (race wistfully. Bill was a thousand fnthoms deep In the Caribbean, or deod In some forgot ten Jungle, despite persistent news paper rumors to tho contrary. It needed a slight effort to bring him self hack to the present. He snld to tho girl mildly. "I'll any nothing ahout your Mr. Ortega. (Cclf'tH. I'll. ffnft'l ;....)
