CHAPTER XIS Clarice stared helplessly, her mouth lax, face bewildered. "Why, Sir. Gaines — why—er — how-do-you-do!” Her hands fluttered aimlessly, as if she wanted them to help her and could think of nothing for them to do. * He stood up and bowed gallantly. “My pleasure, Miss ... ?’* “Cole—Clarice Cole,” she supplied nervously. It was easy enough to anticipate nonchalance in the presence of the great, but to achieve it! "Why, Mr. Gaines, it just doesn't seem possible—l—why, I went to see ‘All For You' five times. I adored it! Really, I know most of the dialogue by heart!” “Er-really?” IDs own voice faltered for an instant Even the great have their awkward momenta. “I’m flattered. Then you liked it?" "It was marvelous! If I thought I ever eould be a star in a picture like that—” her words were lost in the awe of her voice. “You can be,” Mervin Gaines declared. “If I can persuade you to consider —” “Oh, Mr. Gaines," Clarice interrupted, “I shouldn’t have let you think I had other offers in Hollywood. You see, I didn’t know you were—you. I’m just taking a chance on going out there and breaking into pictures. That’s the truth,” she confessed guilelessly, all her sophistication dropped suddenly, as a statue is unveiled. Gaines puckered his lips and whistled softly. “Pretty long chance —for most girls. But not for you. Anyway, I’m glad I saw you first. Doesn’t that give me some advantage? Finders, keepers . . .” His smile was ingratiating and the interrogation in his voice implied a not too-confident hope. “Well," Clarice admitted candidly, “no use for me to pretend that I wouldn’t consider any kind of a proposition to get a start. You know plenty about what a chance can mean to any girl who goes to Hollywood to break into the movie game. So do I. My meeting you on this train is a break in ten thousand, Mr. Gaines, and if I’ve made a hit with you—" she spread her hands eloquently, conscious of their tapered slenderness and the gleaming nails that were red as rose petals. “More than a hit!” His glance was amorous. “I don't know for whose sake I want you most —mine or my dear public’s." She dismissed that with practiced indifference. Clarice might be interested in a man if there were sufficient reason—that reason being for her own selfish end. She used her sex to get what she wanted from men, because she knew that it was her most effective weapon; but she never considered the possibility of giving them whatever they wanted ip return. She shifted her position and recrossed her legs, sheathed in gos-samer-frail mesh stockings, noting with satisfaction that he did not miss the gesture. His eyes traveled over her frankly from head to heel —the pardonable glance of appraisal with commercialism only in mind. Clarice understood about that, also—even its two-fold significance. His inspection troubled her not at all. Her ambitious imagination leaped over these trivialities to that vision of her name in blinking, blazing lights—brought suddenly nearer, like a movie close-up speeding into the foreground of the screen and flashing in her face like a tangible thing. "A career being my first ambition. even before I saw you, perhaps we had better keep them in order. I think I should try that out first,” she suggested lightly. “Os course. But that won’t keep us from making these two long days less monotonous by getting acquainted as well as we can, will it?” “Certainly not.” “Then how about going to the club car for a cigarette, first, then having lunch with me?” “Okay," she laughed, rising quickly. She swayed through the passage ahead of him, conscious of his eyes watching her. Clarice had yet to smoke her first

cigarette. There were several reasons for this gap in her experience: first, economy; second, no previous inclination; third, no urgent need. All three reasons had been swept aside by her meeting with Mervin Gaines. Also, she supposed that her chosen profession required the accomplishment Never—having studied the graceful, languid gestures of Yola Ken4e performing the rite of smoking like a pagan priestess—would she admit her inexperience to Mervin Gaines. She accepted a slender, goldtipped tube from his onyx and silver

“Ohly,” she laughed, rising quickly.

case, held it delicately to her lips in line with his lighter, inhaled. The smoke filled her mouth, her nose, eyes, lungs; it suffocated her for a frantic second. She turned aside and managed to cough without choking violently. As she reviewed the incident in her mind afterward she pronounced herself lucky. A break. Stupid of her not to have practiced before. Gaines concealed his amusement at her bravado. She did nut deceive him for a moment. “Plucky kid.” He approved her with satisfaction. “One of the do or die kind—but all for ambition. I think she'll fit in with my plans okay.” • • • Jaxie and Kirby had returned to her section and worked for another hour, when the dining car porter came through with the first gong for lunch. Kirby laid down his pen with a sigh that was half a yawn. “Whew! Is the morning gone already? I thought thia would be a dragging day. But then, I expected to be glared at by old Mrs. Grouch instead of smiled upon by yon. AU the difference between night and day.” Jaxie added another smile for good measure. “I can’t believe that I have my copy ail done for the mail, but it is.” "Am I in it?” She flushed deeply. “Consciously or unconsciously, you are. How could I leave you out, when you have been part of ail my impressions from the moment we started?” “Have I? You put everything into words so easily. What’s that about my knowing the music but not the words, so you supply them, and together we make a song? Rather nice, making songs with you.” His eyes caressed her with a gentle intentness. “So long as we keep in harmony.” she reminded him lightly, to conceal

• happy confusion which possessed her- . They Innched with gay festivity. Tho waiter captain recalled both their tips of the morning and hastened to select for them the center table for two, on the side. Jaxie took up the menu card as if it were another adventure. “I wonder if there is anything astonishingly new on this list.” "Something to write home about?” “Exactly. My Chicago public will want to know how I fared out here in the wUds. I’d like to surprize them.”

"How about a calavo cocktail?” “Sounds interesting. Is it good?" "What’s the difference?” he twinkled. “Tell your public it is anyway. Everyone will rush to the fruit markets in Chicago to buj calavos, and the demand and the price will rise so rapidly that they will have to plant more calavo trees in California. Isn’t that the idea? Publicity in disguise?” “Something like that. Very well, a calavo coctail for me.” He wrote two on the order card. “What’s the next inspiration?” "Well, we can’t step down from such grandeur as that to country sausage. Braised lamb chops and new peas,” she decided, “and a nestlerode pudding for dessert. Iced coffee and corn muffins completes a lunch fit'for a king.” “The King agrees. He will have the same as Her Majesty, the Qpeen." The waiter rustled up with a flourish of ice bowl and tongs, spilled a littie more water into each of their tumblers from the water bottle, checked Kirby’s order with a practiced glance. Its generosity warranted more service, so he moved the salt and pepper shakers from the back to the center of the table, exchanged the positions of the sugar bowl and ash tray, rearranged the rows of silverware, and rustled back to the kitchen. Kirby grinned delightedly. “We have him all encouraged.” “Here comes that queer old couple from our car," Jaxie murmured, looking toward the far end of the diner. “Did you see him when she got on at Kansas City this morning, explaining everything to her? She’s a sweet little old lady, but frightened half to death. I’ll bet it’s her first time in a diner.” (To be continued) Copyrl<ht. IU4 b U«t*>ter. DUlrlbuUtd to> t *mmni Syndicate, Ina.
