Screenland Book Dept. 236 WEST 55th STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. Few women looked twice at Maranui these days. If the soft roll of his voice attracted them, his scars repelled them. Nor was the tragedy in his eyes worth speculating upon; it resembled hunger too much, and hunger was commonplace. But Peggy understood and she talked out her misery with Craig who often came to her house. "It was fascination and you couldn't help what happened," he tried to comfort her. 'And this is cowardice," she accused herself. "Tom, I — I crippled a god." "And now you're killing yourself." "If I had Maranui's courage, I would," she said bitterly. "I know what I have taken from him: his faith, his strength, even his people; he can't go back to them. And I can give him nothing — not what I really owe him." She pointed westward where clouds built a lonely peak and dis' tant city lights were stars. "Out there I thought I loved him. But here — no, no! Yet I maimed him; I can't forget that." "He sits on my verandah every night just staring out there," responded Craig. "He knows that it's dead. Our worlds are different, there's the same old answer. I shouldn't have brought him here." "I made you. Now, if only I could do something to " "Steady," Craig cautioned, gently taking her hands. "I can keep him; see that he always has a job around the studio. But even then I'm afraid. He won't live on that kind of charity. Eventually he'll drift away." Peggy Braiden shut her eyes and buried them still deeper beneath her hands. "Drifting — and limping — where?" As for Maranui, he asked nothing of her. At the studio he respected the barrier between extra and star; and when Peggy visited him at Craig's home — as she often did, irresistibly drawn there — Maranui would hide himself in verandah dimnesses whence he spoke without one word of the past or future. If his pipe went out, he reloaded and drew on it unlighted. Had he struck a match his broken face would have tormented the girl. But ghosts of his splendor crowded the studio projectionroom the day Craig's production was screened. Players, executives, publicity men and members of casts not busy on their sets formed the audience; their critical undertones became a gasp. Not that tropical settings were new to them; the stage crew could have built sets twice as colorful; location men might have duplicated the beaches and palms less than thirty miles away. Momentarily Maranui owned the screen. His figure lifted far out and rode the surf, spray pluming. He poised above the sliding crest; he challenged, bitted and tamed the wave, then stepped from his board to the beach. Maranui! God-like! A fling of his arm, and he enfolded Peggy Braiden in the whole pagan tapestry! She crouched in her chair. She forgot that he also sat in the dimness of this room. Again her eyes filled with amazement at him — amazement, and the deeper thing she had dared to name. The spell caught her. But as quickly as warmth had come, she grew cold, taut, nerveless; and the next scene banished that Maranui forever. A raspy feminine voice demanded jocularly, "Say, Peggy, will you give me that guy's address? He's so-o-ome lollapalooza." When the picture ended Peggy's chair was vacant. She had crept away. Long after the others had gone Maranui contemplated a blank screen until Craig bent over him. "She wants you." He hesitated, then obeyed and climbed stairs and stairs to the dome upon the studio-roof that was Peggy's dressing-room. Her little nervous gesture greeted him, and he sat.
