After a slight pause and with a hint of self-consciousness, he amplified: "Lyon Summerlad." Sensible that he seemed to expect her to think will of that precious name, Luclnda found no echo for It in the chambers of her memory. "But hiw is It you know my name, Mr. Summerlad?" 'That's easy: your husband told me." Again Luclnda was reduced to a Wank "Oh!" This time she felt that she was coloring. "In the poIice station!" Mr. Summeriad added with a broad grin. "Hut don't be alarmed. You see. Mr. Drue) rather lost his head wouldn't be hippy till he'd had me arrested on a charge of assault.

Summeriad pursued with breath'

taking assurance. "If it isn't an Impertinent question, may I ask If that's where you're bound?" "No." Lucinda replied briefly. One began to forsee that to put a damper on such abounding enterprise would prove far from easy. Luc'r.da gathered up her change.

It's a long, lonesome trip, and I'll be very happy if you'll let me prattle in your company now and then." Lueinda contented herself with replying, no, she wouldn't mind, and thrust back her chftJr. Immediately Summerlad was on his feet, napkin in hand, bowing prettily. "Awfully good of you. Mrs. Druce.

That afternoon at the Cu'p studios had been fascinating; how much more eo would It be to live for a time In a city that was. at least as Lontalne limned It. one vast open-air studio, to be associated with poople who were actually doing something with their lives "But you haven't told me," she complained, "about those tests. How did I look?" "You were adorable, everybody slmpiv raved about 'you'." "Fact. Mrs. Druce. You outclassed even Alma Daly in that Palm Room scene. No, "but seriously: it was you first.

"Why. they were o sure I would (

Lontalne's eyes widened Into a lumlnoua blue stare; and abruptly, as if to hide the thought behind them, he threw away a half-smoked cigaret and. helping himself to another, bent forward, tapping It an a thumb-nail.

Awkward explanations, haltingly offered, had ben accepted without question: Fanny's and her husband's tactful sympathy not only won Luanda's heart completely but. together with her reluctance to proceed to Reno before she could feel reasonably sure of living there unmolested, had influenced her to agree to go on with the Lontalnes to Loq Angeles: whither (she was tacitly led to lnfr his motion-picture Interests had peremptorily called Lontalne.
