SYNOPSIS' T,eui Ltmeska, beautiful motion picture star, is embarrassed at the premiere of her latest picture when her husband. Karl Kruger, whom she thought in prison, arrives and threatens to reveal his identity unless she talks with him. Lucky Cavanaugh, a gambler, prevents Kruger from making a scene and has him placed in a private office to await Leni after the show. In the next office, thieves are burglarizing the safe. Leni goes to Kruger. He demands recognition as her husband. She refuses but he says he will wait for her to reconsider. Cavanaugh, fascinated by Leni s beauty, follows her into the box. Finding her in tears he tries Io comfort her and Leni is strangely strengthened by his hand-clasp. He takes her out for some air. Forced to confide in someone, she relates her past life: slaving in a Vienna factory . . . marriage to Kruger when only fourteen . . . beatings . . . Kruger’s arrest . . . America • • • and her romantic rise to stardom. Unable to resist, Cavanaugh takes Leni in his arms and, in an unguarded moment, she allows him to kiss her. Suddenly regaining her composure, she asks him to take her back and forget about it CHAPTER EIGHT Leni's complete change swept through Cavanaugh’s warm mood like a rush of cold air. Her smile dazzled him, but, suddenly, she seemed as remote and unattainable as her own moving photograph on a silvered screen. He knew women as men of his type inevitably know the other sex, but there was a fathomless quality in this golden creature that filled him with a school boy’s sense of awkwardness. If he persisted he had the uncomfortable conviction that she would begin laughing at him and end with scorning. Already he had had more from Leni Luneska than he had any right to expect. The devil of it was that she had lit a flame that he could not quench with the water of common sense. She sat in the box again beside Douglas Gates, straight and immobile as though a steel skeleton within her flesh held her body in place. On the screen the plot of the photoplay flitted past her vision like scraps of paper blown by the wind. It was all utterly meaningless now. Where her heart belonged was a motionless lump of cold and heavy lead. “This is the end of everything for me,” Leni Luneska told herself, —“the end of everything.” The audience sitting enthralled by the picture were merely so many living corpses. Tomorrow Karl Kruger would reach with his clutching hands and strip her cf all fame, all respect, all everything. With her mind’s eye she saw what would happen — the cancellation of her contract, the burning publicity, the mock sympathy as she stood outside the barred studio doors. Douglas Gates leaned close to her. “A great picture, dear,” he whispered. “There is no one like you on the screen. You are supreme.” She did not answer him. What did it matter? Tomorrow it would be all over. Her taste of glory had been so very brief before the cup had been dashed from her lips. Douglas Gates, with his eyes on the screen had not noticed her pale and set face. Tomorrow would be the end. As quietly as possible she would slip out cf I’cliywood and return tv the obscurity iiwai which she had risen.

There was not even the consolation of wealth. Like most new stars her debts were evenly balanced against her possessions. Life, like a gigantic sponge, was wiping her off a slate and leaving a blank a’nd black future. Remotely she remembered a man upstairs named Lucky Cavanaugh but the recollection brought no warmth to the lump of lead in her breast. It was all over — Gates, Cavanaugh, Karl Kruger. Her mind was made up. Kruger could tell his story wherever he pleased. She would not be present in Hollywood when the mud began to spatter. • * * For a man of his height and weight, Lucky Cavanaugh moved with a singularly light and elastic step. In the carpeted corridor behind the balcony he encountered a grim sentinel in an usher’a uniform. “Is Slug around?” The man’s face was as expressionless as a death mask. “I don’t know what you're talking about, Mr. Cavanaugh.” Cavanaugh stepped closer and extracted a short length of iron from his inside coat pocket. “When you see Slug, give this back to him and thank him. He lent it to me a little while ago.” “Okay,” said the other. The jimmy disappeared adroitly into his clothes. Without haste Cavanaugh walked to the door behind which Karl Kruger was waiting. His instinct told him that the eyes of the watching man in usher’s uniform were following him. It did not matter. Cavanaugh’s business was not in conflict with that of the grimly determined men in disguise. Just for an instant Cavanaugh hesitated before he twisted the knob and stalked into the room. His profile, dimly revealed in the faint light behind the last row of seats, had the sharp outline of a portrait stamped on bronze. There was time yet for him to turn back from this projection of self into the affairs of other people. Leni Luneska had virtually told him to keep his hands off. A remnant of that quality called common sense urged him to forget the whole business. It was not a pleasant thing to get mixed up in. Nevertheless, the knob turned under his sinewy hand and Lucky Cavanaugh stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. Karl Kruger stared at him belligerently from the depths of an oversized leather chair. In this room of soft lights and theatrical luxury the murky-looking man glowered silent defiance. “Get up,” said Cavanaugh harshly, “and bring that filthy hat along with you. You’re leaving here!” Two hectic spots begitn to burn in Kruger’s cheeks. His claw-like fingers clutched the f»t arms of the chair. “Oh, no,” he cried with a soiled voice. “I’m not to be gotten rid of so easy! You might be one of those big rich friends of Leni Luneska's but you don’t get rid of Karl Kruger. A man like me has his rights and I’m going to stay right here till I get them. I’m not afraid of you—l’m r.ot afraid of anybody! You can l.c-at me but you cannot silence me unless you kill me.” Cavanaugh's eyes were steel. What Karl had safli was the exact t.uth. On'y murder would guarantee n ? s si’sn». Deliberate imnder was something that Cavanaugh v-»s not, jH-epsred to administer. “It’s your owi> ,:fe you're gambling with, ivnvget.” he said evenly. “Nobody has said anything about murdering you, but you're not going to stay around here and humiliate Miss Luneska. Furthermore,

experienced an uneasy night, he said, when a horde of Persian cats, fierce as bulldoK*. invaded hie room through an open screen and began to stage a free-for-all over the food on the table. On a ruin-exploring expedition in Paaama. he narrowly missed a fracas with a boa constrictor when his guide iliseover.d the reptile lying in wait just in front of him. and sliced it In t«‘> *>' h a machete. The exploration till*

you’re not going to spill your rotten story about her to anybody. You can be silenced so quickly it would make your head swim.” Kruger’s narrow lips drew back over yellow teeth. Perhaps tha grimace was meant for a smile. The flanges of his thin nostrils widened as he drew in breath with a weedy whistling sound. s “You smell like the perfume she had on,” he said derisively. “You’ve been close to her tonight—maybe you’re one of her sweethearts. That means nothing to me. You do not bluff me, mister, because there is nothing left for me to be afraid of. You are dealing with a desperate man I tell you—a very desperate man, mister. It will do no good to beat me and kick me. Y’ou do not know how to combat such a person as I am. I am very much your superior in spite cf your fine clothes and fine airs. In my own way I am absolute!” For a moment Cavanaugh had the idea that he was dealing with a drug addict but this thought was obliterated by the iogic Kruger was employing. His philosophy — from his own view point—was perfectly reasoned out. “Exactly what is it,” demanded Cavanaugh, “that you want?” “I want money — I want Leni Luneska and everything that goes with her!” was the brazen answer. “If you represent her, I do not mind in the least telling you exactly what she is. She is a plain common The sentence was never finished. Lucky Cavanaugh's fist, hard and solid as a rock, smashed against Kruger’s teeth. It was not a hard blow, yet the man collapsed under the impact and sprawled shapelessly on the floor. Slowly he began to pull himself up into a sitting position. One hand grasped the edge of the table. Without any haste he attained his feet by degrees. For an instant his right hand was hidden from Cavanaugh's gaze. When it reappeared it held the glittering shape of a cheap revolver. Cavanaugh's eyes moved slowly from the menacing revolver to Kruger’s face. Curiously enough he did not read his faie in the burning eyes of the other but in the twisted lips drawn back over saffron teeth. It was a mouth reeking with murderous hate. For a moment neither man spoke. It was significant that the armed man was trembling while the empty-handed Cavanaugh stood motionless as a statue. At the same instant in the adjoining office, three men crouched around the black bulk of the theater safe. One of them held a small, feeble flash light. For what they were about to do not much light was required. The safe was prepared with technical perfection for its explosion. They were so silent they could hear their watch ticking off the few remaining seconds. The forehead and hair of one was wet with sweat The other two, who were older, breathed evenly with only a slight acceleration of their pulses. Kruger’s voice from the next room was faintly audible. “What we gonna do about them guys next door’” whispered the sweating one. “Shut up!” It ain t so good having people next door, ’ insisted the worried voice that rustled like a dry leaf. “Maybe they're coppers waiting to swarm in on us. How do we know?” "If you don’t shut up I’ll brain you!” “Okay—but I don’t like it. .. .• (To Be Continued) Coryrixht. 1932. b, Rrbert Terry Distributed by King feature* Syndicate, Inc.
