Later Linda foes to Hollywood and. by expressing Ideas that are really Peter’s, acquires a reputation for being able to discover new stars. Soon she is a celebrity. Dlz Carter comes to Hollywood eo jet into films as an actor. Linda tries to help him. To please Dlz, she invites Basil Thorne, director to her home thnuzh she dislikes and distrusts Thorne. Peter Gardiner writes a successful play and comes to Hollywood. Thorne drives Linda to a mountain resort where the company is to begin work next day. The others fail to arrive. There is trouble with the car and Lindo and Thorne are obliged to stay through the night. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE “T’M entirely serious.” Basil Thorne 1 said. “So am I,” Linda answered shortly. She might play to a role by candlelight or at a civilized hour of the day, but it was too much to expect of her at this hour of the morning. Her thoughts just then concerned nothing more romantic than a hot tub and fresh clothing. Whatever visions floated in her mind’s eye were those of steaming, fragrant food and heavenly coffee. And Basil Thorne expected her to be romantic! At least, she thought he did, since he had proposed to her. It was entirely apparent to him that she was not in the mood to discuss the matter She probably wasn’t even thinking of it. Didn’t have the faintest idea of the great favor that he had—much to his own surprise—conferred upon her. Confound the situation. He didn't want to get married! bob THE big white car sped over the *- lonely road, and the sky brightened and broke into a flame of color with the rising sun and wakening world. Still the two rode, huddled in their great coate, silent and fatigued, quiet with their separate thoughts. . Why had she ever been afraid oi him, Linda wondered. He had been nice last night and now he was meek as a lamb. And he had proposed to her. It had surprised her because Basil wasn’t what she’d call a marrying man. It hadn’t surprised her in the least that he had offered her marriage instead of a less respectable proposition. Linda was the kind of girl that men propose to. That was precisely what Basil Thorne was thinking in his glum silence. The idea of marriage appalled him, but he grudgingly ad mitted that marriage to a girl like Linda was the only acceptable way. The more he thought about it, the more real it became to him. He pictured the smooth continuity of life with this well-bred gill. His mental pictures of their home life were drawn from a composite series of photographs and movie sequences. tt B tt IT was a conglomerate range of portaits; Linda .in a flowering gown, pouring tea; Linda with flaxen-haired children in faultless English clothes about her knee;

Linda as the hostess at a modest dinner party of some 300 guests. He went up several degree? in his own estimation. If thinking of it could do that much to him. he needed her! She must marry him. He reviewed what he frankly called his method of attack. Linda was not like the other girls he had known in Hollywood; he couldn’t dangle fame before her eyes. He must be gentle, charming and persuasive. And, failing that, he had a powerful weapon. He was not above using it. Meanwhile he would content himself with a trial of his first method. “Linda.” he broke the silence, "I didn't ask you to marry me because I thought it was the gallant thing to do. I've been wanting to ask you since the first day we met. “I’m not going to pretend to you that there have been no other women in my'life, but I*m going to ask you to believe that you are the first woman who has ever made me feel that I would want to live up to her ideals.” BUB “'T'HANK you, Basil.” Linda A didn’t think that was a very enthusiastic response, but if the man would persist it was just too bad. “I haven’t very much to offer you”—so he was still proposing?— “I don’t mean money, of course." j His expansive gesture of sweeping hand indicated millions of dollars. “I am thinking of myself. I’m only an old duffer; clumsy, but I’ve got a heart, Linda." Linda was very much bored and entirely tired of this speech. “I haven’t ever had advantages. | My background wasn’t the sort that j polishes the edges, but I have char- ! acter and I have gotten somewhere j in the world. A girl like yourself j would be making no bad bargain.” | He looked out of the corner of his j eye to see how that was going over. It wasn't, so he tried anew line. “I suppose it will sound funny to you, my dear, but I’ve always wanted a women to mother me. My own dear mother died when I was a little chap. A man can grow up starved for that kind of love, and few women ever appeal to him that way.” BBS “T'M sorry you think I am that one A woman. Basil,” Linda replied finally. “I hope you are mistaken. Because there just isn't anything I can do about it. I don’t love you and I can’t marry you.” She wished she could tell him that she loved Dix, was going to marry him. but she was afraid that if she did, he would deny Dix his chance, the thing that she had been working toward so hopefully. “Is there someone else?" he asked with his voice pitched at the lowest dramatic level. She didn’t answer because she didn’t want to lie; she smiled and said quickly. “Please let’s turn off the main road here. At all costs we must avoid meeting the others. And, once more please. Basil, will you promise never to breathe a word about this?” If Hollywood heard about it, Linda knew that she was through. There was only one way that they might be discovered, and that was if either she or Basil Thorne themselves were to tell about it. There was no simulated intensity in her plea to him. Thorne hugged her with his free arm. giving her a brotherly squeeze. “You worry too much,” he said.

HPHAT wasn't exactly reassuring, A and later that day Linda remembered little things about Thorne's eyes, a quirk at the comer of his mouth when he had said it. She felt the beginning of a disquieting cloud of doubt that was to grow with time. As she had expected, one of the telephone messages she had ignored the day before told her that there was a change of plans and the company was postponing the trip to San Jacinto until the next week. If only she had seen it, she might have avoided that trip and would not now be worrying lest it become known and destroy her. Because destroy her it would. She was too important to be able to stand a btjeath of scandal. Only unimportant people could afford that in the movie colony where discretion was an obligation. It was too much for Linda to keep to herself. She didn’t intend to tell Dix, but when he told her he had been telephoning her the night before, she told him the whole story, hoping and knowing that he would believe her. “But why be so upset about it?” Dix asked in his lazy way. “If you must know. Dix, I don’t trust Thorne. He isn’t exactly a gentleman, and I have reason to believe that he isn’t to be trusted.” There were several things Linda hadn’t told Dix, yet she expected and wanted him to share her feeling about Thorne. b tt a ■pvlX grasped her by her elbow and looked into her eyes, “Did he make love to you last night?” he demanded. Linda loved that. He was jealous. “No, he only proposed to me.” He let her go. “Then that’s all right. I think you’ve got him all wrong. Just forget it, Linda.” The unpleasant thought occurred to her that Dix really didn’t care whether Thorne had made love to her or not, that his anxiety was only that she might have spoiled things for him. She dismissed the thought as unfair and untrue. (To Be Continued) TW 0 ESCAPE [TPRISON CONVICTS CAPTURED Six Other Oklahoma Fugitives Believed Hiding in Mountains. By United Press M’CALESTER, Okla., May 15. Two of the eight convicts who led a bloody break from state prison, were recaptured early today, soon after they had released their three host- | ages.
