Jere Kane, student of criminology, returning to the United States from • vacation in Hawaii, meets Ben SlacVuarrie. an old detective friend, in Los Angeles, where police chiefs are tn convention. They take dinner together, and are joined by Chief of Los Angeles. As they dine in a fashionable resort Chief Tjee points out some of the screen celebrities in attendance, among them one Nanette Lcßoi, Hollywood's newest star, re cently ''discovered” by Richard Bailey, noted director. While eating, Chief Lee is called to the phone. He returns, asks Kane and MacQuarrie to take a ride with him. and they all three drive out to Hollywood, where, in a fashionable bungalow, they find the body of Bailey, a gap ing wound in his head, on the floor of the living room. The room, shows signs of a struggle. With the other officers, Kane, who has been invited to assist in the case, goes over the entire room, questions Chivington, the butler, who discovered the body on his return from the city, and notes a picture of "Nanette Leßoi occupying the center of the mantel. They establish the fact that Bailey died at 9 o’clock, leave a detective to guard the room, and return to the city. On the way back the chief de clares Bailey put up a desperate fight before he died. Kane disagrees with this, maintaining the director Med without a chance to put up a struggle. Kane returns to his hotel, decides he must question Nanette Leßoi immediately, and sets about to find a means of doing it. Luck is with him. While in the lobby Nanette and her escort, Rodolf Holmes, pass through, notice him and stop, both wtth cries of recognition. Kane is puzzled, tries to place her. Finally the light breaks. She is really Judy Banning, former musical comedy star, whom he aided in clearing of a charge of murdering her husband in Few Orleans. A face lifting opera tion has changed her completely. They ask Mm to dine with them and he accepts. (NOW GO ON WITH TUB 9TORYJ CHAPTER 5 KANE KNEW that every eye in the room was fixed upon the woman who walked at his side. Covertly, he watched her. but she glanced neither to left nor right. Instead, with all the reacd bearlag of an imperial ruler, she moved across the floor.

He waited for her to exploit! fur ther. **TtM stigma of that night clung to ths name of Judy King,” with a sMgbt shudder. “It was Mr. Bailey —I mean Richard Bailey, the famous director —and Rodolf who suggested the foreign importation Idea.” Kane peered at her through haM-’ closed eyes at her mention of Bailey. For once in his life he was thankful for subdued lights, as much aa he Agitated them.

The public flocked to see them, as you may recall. But that isn’t true today. The big shots have gone tn for morality.” “And so you’ve tried a little fraud.” Kane laughed. “Well, I don’t blame you.” “Rodolf was helping me to get a start when." her gaae fell to the table, “that—awful thing—happened in New Orleans.” “Let’s forget that,” Kane said gently. “That’s the past. Tomorrow is just ahead.” “Indeed" Holmes agreed heartily. “That’s what I tell her when she gets to brooding.” “And now,” Kane said easily, “you are betrothed to Richard Bailey.” “Indeed not,” she smiled. “That talk is only part of the legend which the press agents at the studio have built up about me." “I’m afraid that's over my head.” “It seems to be good business in Hollywood,” she explained, “to have some new foreign star engaged to the director who discovered her. Os course, you remember Greta Garbo’s secret love for her director and of Marlene Dietrich’s admiration and affection for Josef Von Sternberg. It’s all ballyhoo, no more." “Then." Kane pursued, “you are not interested in Richard Bailey’s private life " “Not in the least.” she put In. “Nor in what happens to him,” he added, ignoring her Interpolation. A shadow crossed her countenance. Plainly, she was disturbed. She gazed about the elaborately decorated dining room and It seemed that her lips curted slightly in contempt. Finally: “That’s the trouble with this busi ness," she declared brusquely, “the people think that you have to marry a man just because he does a little something tor you.” Kane waited for her to go on. After a moment she did. “Tm getting tired of thia whole thing!” she exclaimed. There was a trace of venom Jn her voice. "I’m going to put a stop to it. If I can’t get along os my own merits I’ll get out of it. Tm tired of having to toady to first one and then another.” Holmes tried to stop her. "I don’t care!” she cried. ’Tm getting tired of it. If 1 can't do it one way I can another I” Kane had listened intently. At first, he had wondered how he was going to swing the conversation around to the murder. Now, the way was only too open. It was his ’op portunity, but be deliberately passed it up. The setting didn’t suit hid*. A lover of the dvwatir. he preferred to make his revelation from, a clear sky.

Presently, the dance was ended, Nanette Leßoi and Rodolf Holmes returned. Her face was aglow; her eyes sparkled happily Kane thought, "I suppose she's glad not to have Bailey trailing along at the hem of her skirts tonight.” She said. “It’s so warm, Rodolf. Can't we hive something cool :o drink?” He nodded and looked for the waiter.

"You’ve caused me enough trouble tn my short span of life. Do you think you have be come my keeper because I had guts enough to get rid of a man who -was wrecking my life?” Kane acted as though he accepted the rebuff.
