Chapter 18
ABOUT JANICE
YflSS JANICE KENT, despite her
unquestionable beauty, her ser
rants, her two fan-writers and that
much photographed black-and-gold
motor, was somewhat a creature of
circumstance. Her public, had It
been told of this fact, would have
agreed that It was most pleasant cir
cumstance Indeed. However, Miss
Janice mlirht have, but didn't, In
form It differently.
When stills were published show
ing her In breakfast-nook aprons,
holding a dish-rag gingerly but with
good humored bravado, one was apt
to say, with Indulgent superiority
"With those hands Pshawl She
"Mr. Qrahame Is
never had her hands In dishwater In
her life!"
The statement would have been
correct only to a degree. The de
gree was that of time. Not only had
Janice been familiar with the fool
of dishwater, but the thought of It
evoked an emotion akin to the hor
ror that an emancipated galloy-slave
night have felt for a twenty-foot
rowing oar,
TT was not to be wondered, then,
that Janice, having learned her
profession letter perfect, made the
best of the fact that she was an ac
tress and a famous one. Her drawing
room manners, her 'cello voice and
xpresslve bands were tbe technical
materials of the trade that had made
her the greatest artist that worked
In romantlo leads In Hollywood.
It Is a little traglo, of course, that
during the apprenticeship of an art
ist something of the human being la
deadened. A man may not be a hero
to his valet, but an actress had bet
ter be a heroine to her personal
maid It she wishes to retain her
professional standing.
Miss Kent was an actress both In
public and In private. She was gay.
he was charming, she waa wistful,
arrogant or mischievous, but never
did sbe allow the venear of her tech
nique to crack the smallest bit for
fear that one Individual of her pub
llo might spy and report that be
neath tbat delectable exterior was
a little girl who cried often to her
elf and who usually was quite be
wilderedand very often fright
ened. So, while It may be said that Miss
Kent waa creature of clrcum
tance. It doubtless might have been
more accurate and kinder to
have said victim of circumstance:
sh waa a representative product ot
an age that psya women salaries
and good ones too for value re
ceived, but also rubber stamps their
characters with a certain emotional
artificiality.
Sbe lay on ber boudoir chaise
tongue staring at the blackened
panes of the windows facing her

a fictitious hue to a patch of lawn.

was another man In the lower ball.
A maid moved Into the room. It
was not Paula. The woman began
sotting articles In place upon the
dresser.
Janice asked languidly, "Mr. Gra
hams li to arrive at nine?"
"Yes, Miss Kent."
Janice wondered why she had
asked that question. She knew per
fectly that Frank Qrahamo was to
arrive at tbat time. But the bored
tone of her Inquiry seemed to give
her a certain reassurance. She
wanted to hear the sound of his
name enunciated with languid indif
ference to make It sound neutral,
as If by tbat device she could rob it
of the power to dlBturb her.
But It seemed a poor artifice;
when the thought 'f Frank Grv
name as a nameno matter how in
differently it evoked his resonant
voice, his crisp hair, that fascinat
ing steel-blue glint In his eyes or
that vital line of his Jaw from ear to
chin,
HE was arriving at nine; he was
going to propose marriage to
her. Sbe was both frightened and
fascinated frlghtoned for fear that
she would not be capable of averting
the proposal, fascinated because she
was unsure If she wanted to avert It.

At Myberg'a office tbat afternoon
they had gathered In a group Qra
hame, Wlnslow, Greene and herself.
Myberg waa conducting a aort ol
guarded Inquiry aa to the cause of
her abduction the night before.
She had studiously avoided Frank
Orahame'a obvious desire to talk to
h jr alone while tbe others discussed
some point. She had succeeded un
til the meeting broke up.' Then
Frank had told her as they were
leaving tbat he would call at nine
that evening.
Raoul Ortega had Indeed gone
from Hollywood. But he left a po
lite little note for lyberg telling
that buslnoss In hta country bad
called him away. He did not know
it he would return. At any rata
their plan for a picture based upon
the archaeological background of
the well-preserved .ulns In the Jun
gle would have to be delayed indefi
nitely. Myberg waa furious about
this. He bad sputtered:
"It la the dlckensl It Is the
dooce! Already 1 ball spent thou
sands In preliminary for prodooo
tlon. We will go on without him.
We haff Grahams now. He knows
that coontry. Tsk. Tsk. Too bad.
That feller Ortega fell In luff with
Janice and tried to get away with
soomthlng."
Bjt Janice had said no. "He was
not In love with me, Mr. Myberg.
True, he made love to me But he
did not mean It. Not that ha waa
Insincere, but the latin tempera
ment . . . you know, they believe a
little love-making real or otherwise
flatters a woman.
Also, 1 don't think be waa In

prevent Frank'a intended Interrup
tion. "You say he waa In the car
that followed me the nlgbt of the
accident which yon think was
planned. You think he made the
arrangements at Central Airport for
the plane that took us to Callenti.
But he waen't with the men who
took me from the room. He wasn't
in the plane or In the car that was
driving south. I'm not defending
him for any reason I haven't told
you.
