[agazixe — Advertising Section That Terrible Thorne Girl FROM PAGE 78 ] I can get his wife to forget about the divorce. I can't tell that until I see him. .Vnd I can't see him until I find out where he is. If you know, you had better tell me. It may save you a great deal of trouble." Jean ilartin's hands dropped at her sides. She knew she was beaten. With a snarl of anger she went to a writing desk at the side of the room, e.xtracted a letter from one of its drawers. ''Here," she said, thrusting the missive into Marion's outstretched hands. "That's the last I've heard from him. You can keep it, for all I care. And if you see him, tell him not to write me any more. I'm through." The letter was postmarked "San Francisco." Marion read it through hastily. In a few rather bitter lines ilr. Harmon wanted to know why Jean had not written to him, asked when she would be ready to join him. There was some ' vague reference to a trip to Japan. The address was that of a small family hotel, and beneath the signature, "Syd," was written the name, "Samuel Harper." Evidently Mr. Harmon had sought safety from process servers under an assumed name. "Well." Jean Martin was sa\-ing, "now that you've got it, what are 30U going to do w ith it?" | ■Just what I've said. I shall go to San I Francisco, see Mr. Harmon, and persuade him I to return to Ms wife. In order to do that, and I thus prevent a divorce, I shall tell hmi that you are through with him — in love with another man. Is that correct? " "Yes. But you needn't mention any names. I don't want him and Max" — she stopped, flushing as she realized that her eagerness had carried her too far. "I won't mention any names if you don't want me to. Miss Martin," Marion said. "But in order to render it quite unnecessarj', why not sit down at that desk and write him a little note, telling him that ever>-thing is over between you? I promise to show it to him and to no one else. I don't really need it. I can easily tell him about ila.x Hoffner — and — the rent. But if you'd rather I didn't, a letter from you breaking things off will answer quite as well." Jein Martin gave her caller one long, searching look, then sat down and wrote the letter. Mrs. -Allison did not take the trouble to read it. On her return home she called up Mrs. Harmon. "I've found him," she said quietly. "Please instruct your lawyers to suspend action until you hear from me further." CHAPTER XXV CVLVTA, w;atching the lights of Los Angeles '^as the train ground its way toward the station, seemed almost unconscious of the presence of Steve at her side. So many memories crowded through her brain, so many recollections, both pleasant and terrible, swept over her, that she almost forgot for the moment the new emotion that had come into her life, to dwarf all else by its magnitude. She was li\-ing now in the past, going over the hopes and fears, the successes and the failures which had made up the past two years of her existence. No one in Hollywood knew of her coming — not even Marion .VUison, for she had told no one. During those last hectic moments at Rosemont that Saturday e\-ening her one desire had been to get away. Nor was she entirely pleased when Steve announced his intention of going with her. She had meant to go alone. Nothing, however, could stop him. Where Sylvia went, there he would go too. It was flattering, and when Steve told her that his mother had advised it, she was secretly glad. Mrs. Hollins was a dear, there was no denying that. The knowledge of it made Sylvia all the more eager to justify herself in the old lady's Freckles Removed SccrttlyandQuickl/ ■ how freckled, muddy or blotchy iplexion may be, it is natu ily clear and whi r of Stillman's Freckle Cream will prove il under the double action.
