Her voice was low and musical, as different from the average run of cut and dried dramatic school voices as day from night, Any one hearing Romany Halle once would never forget her. Sentimental little Charlotte wiped tears of happiness from her eyes She was just as happy as though it were all happening to herself.

Trotter was relieved that apparently Myra had made up her mind to eat dirt as gracefully as posslble. She Ignored Romany as though she mud under her feet, however, which was just as well. Romany took the same tactics with her. It was business, and 'that was Other members of the cast were smart enough to pretend to ignore the Noyes-Halle feud. But they were secretly enjoying It.

Jane Martel's smile and gaiety helped to lighten. the situation in the studio. A place could never be like a morgue for long with Jane around. From the Myra went into the press department. There were a' few things she meant to find out.

She sought Joe Telling. "Come downstairs and I'll buy you a highball, Joey," she offered smiling, "It'a time for you to go isn't it "Yeah!" He got up. "And a little drink won't do us any harm." Joe was pretty sure he knew why Myra was so nice to him. But it didn't worry him much. Myra waited until they were having their second highball before she came to the point.

"Joey!" She looked up then. "Tell me something. Will you?" "Maybe," he grinned. "Shoot." "How come the press department let Romany Halle run for the television title?" "Any one can join up," shrugged Joe. "What's press got to do with it?" "Well, you certainly must be spending a lot of money on her.

That life-size picture in color in the lobby certainly cost a pretty penny. And she Isn't an Interstate Artist. I don't get it." "You can do a lot of things when you've got the dough." "I get it." Myra pursed her red lips thoughtfully, "Sha Is footing the bills." Joe 'shrugged, grinning again. "I ain't a sayin'." Myra leaned toward him. "Well, I've got something to tell you, Joe." Her eyes narrowed.

Romany Haile hasn't got a dime! All this heiress business is a bare faced lie. Now what do you think of that?" "Go on!" Joe motioned for. another highball. that rich Harlowe woman's niece, Isn't she?" "She's one of targe flock of nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins." Myra smiled alyly. "It 80 happens I've got the straight goods.

YESTERDAY: Cholly 19 taken back when she runs into Terry at a night club with Myra Noyes, CHAPTER -THREE WHEN CHOLLY and Romany were getting ready for bed, Romany could see that Cholly was fighting tears. She knew that seeing Terry with Myra Noyes been a shock. But she decided it would be very bad psychology to Jet her friend know she BAW through her effort to appear Indif'ferent. "You could have bowled me over," she laughed gaily, "when I saw Myra and Terry wall; In. Now, where do you suppose they ever met?" Cholly's voice was muftied.

"I--couldn't say." "Well," Romany smiled, "1 can't think of two people who deserve each other more! They're a good match. If Terry was looking for a girl to borrow money from, he couldn't have done much And he'll make a handsome gigolo." Cholly winced, but Romany added brutally: "Thank heaven he has found someone else! That's the reason he hasn't been around pestering you, I guess." "Terry looks fine, don't you think Cholly sat down on the floor to take off her stockings. "I--was Romany laughed lightly. "You didn't expect Terry to sit around and weep' over you, did you? You forget men aren't like women, It doesn't take them long to turn around and see another pretty face." "I guess you're right," Cholly said miserably. "I'm glad he was sober," "The evening was yet young," flipped Romany.

"Maybe," sighed Cholly, "Miss Noyes will help Terry find a radio Job. If he'd get a break, maybe he'd change." "If he gets a break," Romany sniffed, he'll have just chat much more money to throw away in night clubs. There's one leopard that will never change his spots. If he didn't change 'em for you, he certainly won't for Myra. Noyes.

Well, let's get some sleep, Tomortow I'm a working When Romany snapped off the light, Cholly buried her head in her pillow, crying softly, Romany knew, and ached to comfort her.

"Of course not," Myra scoffed. "What sort of a heel do you think I am?" "Do you really want to know where the money came from to pay for Haile's pictures?" "Sure, tell me," urged Myra, "I'm dying to know." Joe gald thickly: "From your ex-flance." Myra.

gasped, "God's truth," Joe "He came in and wrote a check for two hundred bucks and said there was more where that came from. He got sore as hell when I let him see what I was thinking." Myra bit her lip, 8 consuming anger sweeping over "Of course it's clear now. Oh, I might have known, but I. didn't think! He gave you that money. because be wanted to show me up.

Well, she's cortainly got the looks to go around trimming guys to get somewhere. No skink off my nose! Brent had the dough to pay for the pictures," "The--little tramp!"

"You got a grudge against the gal, Don't you go doing anything that's going to get me Into trouble now." "Don't be silly!" "Myra drained the last of her third highball. Joe had consumed five. "Well, I've got to be going, Joe." She paid the check and rushed out, leaving Telling blinking. after her, befuddled. Giggling to himself, he ordered another drink.

Before the evening was over he'd told three other people, in strictest cone' fidence, that Romany Halle' was A farmer's daughter and not an heiress at, all. And that Brent Nelson was putting up the money to make her a radio star. Meanwhile Brent, spending one of his rare evenings at home reading, was interrupted by a knock on the door of his hotel "Come in," he called from the living room. Too late, he discovered It WAS Myra. She stood in the door: smile Ing unpleasantly, (To Be Continued) CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR BRENT WAS.

"Thanks. for hospitality." She drew her feet up as if she' meant to spend the evening. "May I have a cigaret Brent could see that she had been drinking. He dreaded the scene he felt certain was to follow. But he could see no way of avoiding it without committing murder, He rose and.

handed her a cigaret and a package of matches. "Thanks!" Her lip curled. She looked around. "Surely you're not alone. Perhaps should have telephoned." "I'm alone," Brent snapped.

"Ign't it "maintaining expensive," Myra, sneered, two Brent's jaw hardened, "Myra, I've had about enough of this rot from you. If you don't shut up I'm going to throw you out of She laughed a little wildly, "Go right ahead. Thow me out! I'd love It "I'm sure you would." Brent sat back on the divan and lit a cigaret, fighting for control of his temper. "Now suppose you tell me. what brought you here." Myra sat back in her chair, 'her hands clenched on the arms.

I've just found out something very interesting," she smiled then. I think when you And out what it la we'll be able to talk. a little business." "Business? What kind of bush ness? What have you found out "I've just learned on good watched the other's face you paid two hundred dollars 'to get Romany Halle enrolled in the television contest," Brent's face blanched. "You're--crazy," he began, but Myra stopped him. "Oh, no I'm not!" she smiled again.

"My source of Information is absolutely infallible." Brent knew at once it. was Joe Telling who had given away. his secret. He had seen Myra and Joe in the cocktail lounge less than an hour before. Brent got up to walk the floor.

Myra could see that he was ly worried, "And that Isn't half the Information I have." She sat back, pleased with herself. "There are 8 few things. I think you should know about your lady love, too." Brent walked over to the window, whirled, and walked back to sit on the divan, "Listen here, he said seriously, "there lan't anything in God's world you could tell me about Romany Halle that would change my opinion of her. Nothing. Do you understand? I know I'ye only known her a few days, but I love her.

It's the real thing, So you might as well keep any information you have to yourself, it that's what you came here for," Myra laughed sarcastically, "A great and nopio. love! thought you had some sense. Letting a poverty stricken little nobody from the stioks come in and take you over for a sap." "Listen, Brent said again patiently, "I suppose there's no way I. could convince you that 1 In a. flash Myra selzea large metal ash tray and fired it at Nelson's head.

"Oh, Brent! Don't take: me for such a You think I'm just jealous and want to hurt you because you broke our engagement.

But that's not it. I hate to see you make such a chump out of yourself, Everybody's talking." "Everybody will got up to walk you and Joe Telling get through wagging your tongues." "Oh, I won't talk!" Myra assured him untruthfully, lowering. her voice, "But Brent, I think you should know the truth. That girl hasn't got a dime. She worked as a maid and everything: to get through school.

The clothes she's wearing aren't even hers, She has stolen them from her aunt who is in Europe. She'll probably catch. the devil. when Mrs. Harlowe comes back.

she wanted Brent to think she was in love, too. The announcer shrugged. "Go ahead, marry the guy. It would serve both of you right, But you can tell him for me, I'll. break his neck if I ever hear of; him, going around talking about Romany Haile."

Myra looked skeptical and. she was becoming more furious by the because she could see she was making a fool of herself: rather than of Romany. Brent added further to her discomfort with: "You seem to forget. Romany went to Indiana U.

I know a lot of. people who' knew her there. I'vei been to her home town, too; So I'm: afraid if you came here tell me I was being led astray by a gold, digger using me for a good thing, you're wasting your time." coolness was the last straw. Myra had been certain she could get him back if he found out the truth about Romany. Suddenly she was seized with a feeling of bitter hatred for the man who sat smoking a cigaret and watching her so indifferently.

"I--I' could kill you," She clenched her fists, the knuckles showing white against the red of the chair's upholstery. "You'd better calm yourself." Brent smiled evenly, although he feared the real scene just. beginning. "Don't you think you'd better go and And your tenor?
