position. Cavanaugh was whistling softly. Whenever he was gambling for high stakes he always whistled and kept « level head. , • A middle-aged woman with a market basket on her arm pre scJ him on the stairs. He stepped aside, smiled, took off his hat. The woman thought him the nicest young man she had seen in a long time and her day brightened. Thereafter, Cavanaugh did not smile. He did not know exactly how he would get into Poletzki’s apartment. Perhaps the man would not be at home. In that case he would have to commit burglary. To knock on the door and find out would be a simple method. Simple, but superlatively dangerous. No one could fathom what reaction might be expected from abruptly disturbing a murderous, drug-drenched, abnormal mind., . . • • • At the same moment that Lucky Cavanaugh, with every sense alert, was approaching Poletzki’s door, Leni Luneska, in her own elaborate home, was conscious of a tightened sensation around her heart. As soon as one worry was over another took its place. One wave of anxiety after another. Her life had become a mighty storm of these waves. It was beyond her comprehension. For a brief truce with fate she and Cavanaugh had glimpsed a golden peace. It had been so beautifully short—that last brief half hour together in her bedroom. The reaction was setting in. It was no good blinking the facts. He might come back to her sound and free, or the next time she saw him he might be . . . dead! Somebody had shot and killed a woman in his apartment. He had told Mulrooney, in her presence, that the fatal shot had been meant for him. . . . The startling truth was that she knew little or nothing about Lucky Cavanaugh. Knew even less about the death-dodging complications of his dangerous existence. She had gone back to her bedroom in a futile effort to recapture something of the happiness that Cavanaugh had taken with him when he left. The print of his head was still upon one of the pillows. .. . “Forgive me, madame.” It was Celeste bearing a small wicker tray crowded with more than a hundred letters. Al) of them had been opened and read at the studio. These were a few of the most interesting ones out of the daily thousands. The maid put the fan mail upon a low table beside an easy chair. All of these letters had been answered already by Leni’s secretary at the studio. They came from all parts of the world. In times past they had stimulated Leni’s ambition. Now they were meaningless bits of paper. “You take them away, Celeste.” Celeste's face -addened. Her mis-

tress was constantly disappointing her. This slim French girl in her chaste black dress anguished over Leni like a mother hen. “What has happened, madame?" she begged in a worried voice. "Something it is wrong? Is it sick ness?” Leni turned her face away front the girl. Those intent brown eyes, distressed and sympathetic, were like question marks, eternally demanding answers. “Please go away,” Leni whispered wearily. “I am perfectly well. I don't care what you do, Celeste—ortly leave me alone.” Celeste took the letters out, her shoulders drooping slightly as she left. Still in her lounging pajamas with the cloth of gold jacket, Leni flung herself upon the bed. She tried to think, but her problems could not be reached by thought. More than anything else on earth she wanted to hear Lucky Cavanaugh’s voice. Sitting up ir> bed she reached the telephone book for his number and failed to find it. Then she did a foolish thing. She laid her face into the hollow that his head had left upon the silken pillow. It was a silly effort and it brought her no satisfaction at all. It is an odd thing about the way the human mind operates under heavy pressure of feeling. It swings like a pendulum from one extreme , to another. In her heart. Lucky Cavanaugh and Herman Gerstenfield were as far apart as east and west. Leni picked up the telephone and called the studio. There was a subtle change in the voice of the operator. “I don’t think Mr. Gerstenfield will answer his phone, Miss Luneska,” said the voice. “He gave orders not to be disturbed.” “Is a conference going on?" "No. he’s alone.” “Then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t ring him.” But there was a very good reason and the operator knew it. Gerstcnfield had ordered everybody out of his office in a burst of temper that shook the studio walls. The gossip was flying from office to office that he had literally kicked Ned Wingate out of the luxurious private office. Those stories get around rapidly on the lot. Gerstenfield seldom blew up but the rumor, this time, was that he had become a regular volcano. “Please ring him,” said LenL “I’ll take the responsibility.” Leni waited a long time. The operator at the other end left the switch open so she could hear the buzzing in Gernstenfield’s office. Then, suddenly, his voice leaped like crackling fire through the wires. “What in blazes do you want!” The instrument in Leni’s hand shook a little. “I want to talk to you—if you can be a little polite,” she said halfhumorously. “This is Leni!” . . .
