CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “We can’t allow you to get mixed up in this. Miss Luneska,” he said quietly and politely. Leni, with her whole world in ruins, put a smile on her lips. The smile had nothing whatever to do with what was occurring in her heart. Her weaker inner self was reeling from the blow. Under the smile her brilliant white teeth were clenched. But she did not speak. She sat entirely motionless, her hands clasped around her soft silken knees, her eyes misted. “Can’t you see, darling, that this is going to be a terrible scandal?” asked Wingate fatuously. “If any of it rubs off on you it will be positively ruinous. Absolutely! I wouldn’t dream of letting you blight your career. You mean too much to the screen—far too much to your public!” You fool, you fool, you fool! Leni wanted to cry aloud. Can’t you understand, you idiot, that your talk of admiration and the screen and the public is nothing but stifling smoke rising from the funeral pyre of my dead ambitions? Do you think you can say anything with that loose, funny - looking mouth that could be important to me—or to Lucky Cavanaugh? Yet, strength and power was coming back to her. From where, Heaven alone knew. It poured into the vacuum of her breast, gathered into a deep and expanding pool of vibrating energy that her heart eould take hold of and pump through every artery of her body. “Don’t worry about it, please, Ned,” said the smiling shell of herself. “Everything will turn out all right.” “That’s the spirit!” cried Wingate. Gerstenfield suddenly was ignoring Leni. He picked up the blue ; covered contract from the table, ■ folded it and restored it to the en- , velope. “Under the circumstances,” he said aridly, “we may not be justified in offering this contract to Miss Luneska. I’ll have to take it up with the company.” Leni felt she knew what he was thinking. The value of a motion picture star varied almost from day to day. A breath of scandal reacted directly upon the box office. No other business on earth was like this. “It doesn't matter at ail about the contract,” she said to Gerstenfield. “I wasn’t going to sign it anyway." He did not even turn his head to look at her. The commanding power of his eyes drew to a focus that centered upon Ned Wingate. “Get out!” Wingate twisted his head with a bird-like motion as though he had not heard aright. "How’s that?” "Get out. I want to talk to Miss Luneska alone. . . .” Wingate’s long lips gave a twitch of embarrassment. He was a vain man and would have found it much easier if Gerstenfield had troubled to be just a little polite. As it was, he tried to pass it off as a bit of a joke. “Right-o! But if she talks you into doubling the salary, old fellow. don’t blame me!” His effort at lightness thudded to the floor. With a bow to Leni and a smile which meant to be humorous to Gerstenfield, he took himself

out of the room. At the door he paused. I “I just happened to think,” he I said. “Hadn't I better see our press department and ask them to soft i pedal everything?” ■ "Nothing of the kind," Gersten- > field tossed negligently, over his ■ shoulder. “Just keep your mouth shut.” As soon as Leni was alone in > the room with Gerstenfield a nameI less tension increased perceptibly. He took a step forward. Even be- • fore he spoke, the dull lights in his . eyes began to glow. “Now we're alone,” he said cooli ly, “well cut out the foolishness.” ’ “I’m sorry—there’s really noth- • ing for us to talk about, Mr. Ger- . stenfield. Whatever has happened is my own private affair. It does not . concern the studio in the least.” , Nevertheless, something was disconcerting her. A mental flow from Gerstenfield kept pressing ia on Leni’s senses. “Why do you think I stayed here to talk to you?” “I don’t know,” said Leni frankly. "It’s not on account of your contract—l don’t give a rap about that ” "What then?” Herman Gerstenfield took a step closer. There was nothing about him of charm or good looks. An inconspicuous man with a tired face and dry, neglected hair on an ordinary head. A man to pass unnoticed in a crowd except for the gathered concentration in those dark and glinting eyes. “I’m interested in just one thing in this whole business,” he said ievelly “I’m interested in you. You're not going to get away. You belong. You’re one of us. You and I and ail of us in this mad business are like a little tribe of people. We stick to- t gether. The other people—the outsiders—they are enemies. You can’t 1 get away from the pictures even if you wanted to. It’s in your blood.” 1 Leni stood up straight and faced > him. “Whatever you say has nothing ' to do with it,” she uttered steadily. “Don’t fool yourself,” Gersten- I field returned, holding her with his eyes. “I know more about you than ’ you know about yourself. Whether 1 you realize it or not, you and I are tangled up together. I’m not talking • about studio business. I’m talking 1 about you—and me!” Gerstenfield's words hit hard. 1 They stung her with surprise. She 1 had never dreamed that he was interested in her as a woman. He was standing directly in front of her and she had the sensation that she was close to a bare wire heavily charged with electricity. “You might as well get ready to wake up!” he declared, a pressure in his voice. The faint smile still clung to her lips, but there was no amusement behind it. “Please — will you leave me alone?” . She tried to speak with poise but there was a gulp in her throat. Every nerve cell was alert with vitality but somehow defenseless against the nameless attack Gerstenfield made. “You're going to wake from this illusion that you’re in love with that man, Cavanaugh,” he said in a whiplash voice. “The trouble with you is you’ve jumped the track and don’t know it. Sit down and listen t-> me.” Leni found herself obeying him.
Brown Honor Book Will Carry Names Berlin (U.R) -Premier Marschler of Thuringia wants the substitution of "practical honors’’ for those accorded by the honorary naming of streets or plazas. In an appeal to the population of the province, Marschler recently declared that street names carried no weight In the fight to reduce unemployment uud to bring bread to the hungry. He asked employers to give "practical honors" by re employing labor, or contributing to the "Adolph Hitler Distribution Fund ' the equivalent ot a worker's ten weeks’ salary. Marscliler will keep in his office a “Brown Honor Book containing the names of all employers who give new employment, or contribute to the fund.
• Gerstenfield had unleashed something within himself that had s changed a cold, mathematical mai chine into a relentless and pulsatt ing male animal whose newly-re-vealed personality swept around ■ Leni and threatened every moment i to seize command of everything. i “If I saw you stumbling into a fatal accident, I’d snatch you back,” 1 Gerstenfield said. His attitude, the flash of his eyes, • the snap of his voice, bordered upon • the contemptuous. His face had 1 grown paler, his body appeared to have no temperature at all but Leni ' had the distinct impression that a white heat seethed inside him. “You are a woman and there ’ fore are not always in sound mind 1 Your imagination runs away w ith you. For a woman like you, life :• going to be miserable —unless you stay where’you belong.” Leni made a forced effort to combat him. Deliberately she lifted her eyebrows, an effort at skepti cistn. “Are you, by any chance, trying to save me from myself?” she inquired with a hauteur that shook a little. “There’s no one else to save you from, except yourself,” shot back Gerstenfield. "You have beauty, tai ent—maybe genius, but no brain Os yourself you can do nothing. It requires the combined resources Os the fourth largest industry to make a place in which you can function. Before you got into pictures, what kind of a life did you lead?” Leni could tell from the tingling in her temples that some of the color was leaving her face. This man, she thought, has found out somehow about my past. It gave her a feeling of cold indecency and she wrapped herself in a quick lie. “I lived quite comfortably at home,” she said. Gerstenfield scorched her with his eyes and she turned her gaie away. "Come —be honest! That’s not true, is it?” Without lifting her lids she answered him. "No.” “I knew it was a lie. How? I cannot tell you—l just know. I sense those things. There was something —not pretty. You were out on your own—you bucked the game without our vast machinery behind you. It was an awful business. There’s only one place on earth for you—one island of safety. The pictures!” Leni would have got up and left the room. The instinct to escape, for flight, awakened and she rose to her feet. “What," she asked in a thia voice, “does all this get us?” Gerstenfield looked at her and put a hand on her shoulder. It wai the first time he had ever touched her. They had never even shaken hands. He pushed her downward, backward into a chair, gently yet definitely. “Sit there and listen,” spoke Gerstenfield. “If you walk out on me you’ll walk straight back into your past. I’m telling you and 1 know.” But there was still fight left in her. “Only fools know everything,” she retorted. “I know more about pictures and picture people than anybody else in the wdrld,” said Gerstenfield. He might have been stating that two and two make four, so lacking was egotism in his voice. (To Be Continued)
