A blender figure in white chiiTon, she stood staring at the group before her like some bewildered schoolgirl. And there was reason for her bewilderment. Confronting her she saw, in one amazed glance, the tall figure of Paul Lamar, the shorter, more dapper one of Mr. Solberg, and a third, a foreigner evidently, a greyhaired man of fifty-five or skty whom she had never seen before. And to complete her bewilderment, she found herself staring into the calm eyes of Isobel Harmon. "You know everybody here, I think," Marion .i^llison said swiftly, "except Monsieur Francois Vernay. Monsieur Vernay, Miss T^HE handsome, eagle-eyed Frenchman took ■' a step forward, grasped both of Sylvia's hands. "Ah, ma petite," he whispered, drawing her to him, "you are the one I wanted for my Celeste. Name of a pipe — you are perfect — ravissant. What have these bad people been doing to you?" He gave Mr. Solberg a humorous glance, then took Sylvia in his arms and kissed her. "Now my picture is ruined. It is to weep." Both Mr. Solberg and Paul Lamar looked a bit uncomfortable. Steve, left entirely in the background, glared. It annoyed him to have anyone — even middle-aged Frenchmen, "pawing over" Sylvia, as he expressed it later. .\s for the object of all these attentions, she was utterly at sea. What had happened? Wh\were all these people here? Mrs. Harmon, appreciating better than anyone else the girl's bewilderment, came forward, took Sylvia's hand. "My dear," she said earnestly, "I owe you repara Jon. I am truly, truly sorry." "But,'' Sylvia gasped, "please tell me what has happened. ' "That good-for-nothing husband of mine," Isobel Harmon went on, trying to hide the Intterness in her voice und'.r a pretence cf -:;,htness, "has come back, thanks to Mrs. Allison, and told me everj-thing. The moment I realized the terrible injustice I had done you. I called Mrs. Allison up, insisted on this meeting, to e.xplain things. I had no idea, of course, that you would be present, but I am glad beyond words that you are. There will be no divorce, of course. My husband and I are both eager to do all in our power to set you right in the eyes of the world. His story, and yours, will make it perfectly clear to the public that you have been the victim of the grossest injustice. Add to that my own, and there can be no possible doubt. It only remains to work out a feasible plan." "I never believed the story from the start." Paul Lamar said tenderly, "and I am ready to go on record now in any way that will do the ■ most good." He turned to Mr. Solberg. "Hoiv i about it, Lee? What's the best way to put i Miss Thorne back on the screen where she belongs?" : The International's vice-president was smiling, but there was an anxious look in his eyes. "We got to go slow, Paul," he said. "You know what picture audiences are. The minute we put our publicity department to work whitewashing Sylvia here, they're going to say it's a frame-up. Once a star's got a black eye understand, you got to be mighty careful — " "Man Dicu!" Monsieur Vernay with a magnificent gesture consigned all Mr. Solberg's arguments to the wastebasket. "What is it this black eye you speak of? I, Francois Vernay, will myself make everything right. You wish to produce my next play, is it not? " He ga\'e Mr. Solberg a ferocious glare as the latter vigorously nodded. "Very well. You shall produce it, with Mees Thorne in the lead, or you shall not produce it at all. Once I choose her, but I do not get her. This time I shall get her. She goes with the play. And tomorrow, for your newspaper reporters, I shall give what you call an inter\'iew — my photograph — Mees Thome's photograph — my arm about her — yes Earle E.
