Frank, obey Ino a hunrh that came when he saw a vulturlne ace peering through the window of Uyberg's atjice, followed the ear of Janice Kent, who had been conferring with the famous movie executive. Frank etralrrhtene out the tanale that fol lowed a collision between Hiss Kent's ear and a nondescript tan motor; he believes the collision was planned, and suspects it has a con nection with urtcaa, a Mexican who plans to supervise a jungle pic lure for Mvberg. But Janice will not credit Frank's hunch. Frank finds himself drawn toward Janice. Chapter Six SUDDEN MYSTERY "TpHEN," continued Grabame, "Mitt Kent told me that aucb a thought was ridiculous since Ortega swned a nice automobile." He smiled ruefully. "Her opinion was Illogical, feminine and " Wlnslow laughed. "Not at all, Frank. The girl was right Look here. , . , Ortega hasn't shopped his Idea about Hollywood. It's an original, and Myberg's handling him with kid (lores until we're launched on pro duction. Kent knows that. Sbe wants to be In that picture. So do I. "Although Ortega looks like a bull, be is really a rather personable fel low, and seems to have lots of money. We can't be snooty with him or he'll take bis Idea elsewhere. Sure we could go ahead without blm, but he's got a political pull down where be springs from, and above all we want to go ahead with this thing with as little expense and competl tlon' as possible. These days, mis takes are cortly." "I see what you mean," said Gra bame slowly. "But wby would Or tega, assuming It was he In the tan car last night, engineer an accident? Is be annoying Miss Kent? Did she turn him down and he Is taking this method to "Listen, Spin, some of those South American birds are dynamite. Par ticularly wltb women. You know bow they go for blondes. That driver I bit was one of our local boys, k type that would do anything for money, and damn little of It. I wouldn't know what Ortega looks Jlke If I found blm In my soup, but" Wlnslow's snort of derision Inter rupted him. "What an Imagination, ' Crank! What an Imagination! you've led such a melodramatic life these last few years that your mind works that way.(Forgot It It wasn't Ortega, and if It was, It was Just an unexpected accident. Sure, be sends her Sowers. He's stuck on her. Bound to be. She's the first movie actreBS he's met and she's damnably pretty. I suspect you're a little that way yourself, but take some advice from uncle. Lay off." Grabame was slightly startled. "Why " he began. HIS companion grinned with mock maliciousness but withal there was an expression of concern In his eyes. "Perhaps I'm a great guy to talk too much, Frank . . . anyhow that's my reputation, but occasionally I speak with a grain of common sense. That girl Is not for you, or for any otber man for that matter, for at least some time to come. Too ambi tious. Not that she's to be blamed for that She's fought her way to the top around here and she's cagey enough to know that a husband might dim that universal sweetheart appeal stuff that gets her over so big. So she's not having any, thank ou. "She has lots of money and made It herself, legitimately. It's common knowledge around the studios that sba was poor once and she's keeping what she's got" "Spin " Grahame'i face grew dully red. The otber, In the act of mixing himself another waved him to si lence. "It Isn't that you would be elssslfled In her mind as a fortune hunter, Frank, although there's lots that would. Ye of course, I'm talk ing too much, but we were good friends once and I'm tipping you off ven If It's at the price of our friend ship." The stunt pilot's mouth drew Into stubborn lines. "Listen. It's said there was an In valid father once. He's gone now, but things were protty tough then for ber. She's like the little princess In the story whose body was bruised by the pea through six thicknesses of mattress. Janice Kant can sense a pan of dlshwalor and the lite It rep resents six rooms off. It's not that she's cold and selfish, lis" GRAHAMES throat wst a little dry as he said, "Selfish! 8he't line. Clean, and young, and charm ing. She Inspires loyalty. I watched 'r Mr I V 1 Yt that little mi. ..a with ber last night. He's bar ilave and works like the devil for her. His ballyhoo smells like the circus, but " "She loves It And as for loyalty, they say she pays him ten thousand a year, although be probably gets half of hat" "He gets bis ten thousand all right," stated Grahams stiffly. "She told me so herself." "Bunk," said Wlnslow, swallow ing from his glass, Grahame eyed blm coldly. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 10. (Pi Spencer D.

Elliott Cherishes Preserved Apple Of Boyhood Days An Interesting tidbit from sn old whatnot Is the clovesflUed apple, now cherished by Dr. B. R. Elliott of thla city, who had It on display at his of fice yesterday. It la 40 years old and was once the -largest apple on the tree at Dallas, where the doctor spent his boyhood. In fact he had It hidden In his own bin. when bis older sisters Insisted that It be brought-out for decorstlon. The whole cloves were inserted at frequent Intervals over Its skin snd then It was placed on the whatnot In the parlor. The daylight struck It only on special occasions, Dr. Elliott recalled yesterday, when the girls' beaux were calling and the parlor blinds were drawn. During the years the flesh of the spple shrank day af ter day, until it now resembles a big cloves ball, still shaped like an Ore gon apple. Because It wss his spple orlglnslly. it was recently returned to Dr. El liott, who treasures it now ss a curio of those davs, when even Kb whatnot decorations came from the farm. Hcout Founder III.

The remaining contents of his glass gurgled down his throat Ice tinkled through tha quiet room as he set down the glass. He glanced oddly at Grabame. Sorry, old man. Maybe I don't like blondes, I guess. That's all. Got to be going. See you later." As the paneled door shut behind him, Grahame caught sight of the re flection of his own grim face In tha varnished surface. Anger boiled suddenly within blm. Wlnslow didn't like blondes, he guessed!
