From across the office Joyce watched, eager concern on her face. Mary, she saw. was looking toward him too. smiling in a faintly contemptuous way. Then Garrison swung toward them. he growled: "Damned mes, "cops all over the place not letting anyone leave the studio! She was kidnaped from her home, wasn't she? Well, then, why don't they work on it from there? Why don't they actually do something. Instead of hanging around here asking a lot of fool questions!

You're just making a big show with third degree stuff because you know you can't find her. With a grin, one of the officers drawled: "Well, Ill tell you, we kinda figured you might be Miss Monroe in disguise. By the way, how come youre so sure she cant be found? Garrison let out a snort "I said don't have to be by you, and a fortune teller to guess that This farce of holding everyone on the lot proves how much you're accomplishing! There was no answer, and soon the detective left. Joyce, too, slipped quietly out the same door. When she returned. Garrison was again fuming, now more openly than ever. Joyce caught a glance of signifAs icant amusement from Mary. she turned away, without response, one of the staff men suddenly burst Into the office, crying: "Theyve found her! Garrison sprang forward, his face gone white, . and then the man added: "I was out there just now when a call came from headquarters and all the cops piled in their cars and beat it They say Monroe managed to get to a phone somehow and let them know where she is. With a startled yell. Garrison shoved him aside and dashed from the room. While the rest stared after him in amazement Joyce quietly put on her hat and started for home. By six that evening, extras were on the streets telling of the famous star's escape from her kidnapers. She had, it seemed, slipped from their clutches long enough tc make the call to police, but been recaptured and rushed to another hideout a dozen blocks away. There she had fought so heroically that the desperadoes, becoming frightened, had fled. She had then run into the street and been found by Louis Garrison. Joyce laid the paper aside and her eyes rested speculatively for a moment on the phone beside her. Then, taking it with sudden decision, she dialed. In an instant. Garrisons voice responded. "Do you know, Joyce asked, who this is? Of course, "I unhesitatingly hoped youd call, Grace. Now listen: I think everythings okay, but in case theres any more questioning, for Pete's sake remember your story. If the cops ever get wise that I smuggled you into that joint five minutes before they arrived well, itll be just too bad. "Umm - hmm, she murmured, 8nd he went on: "Another thing I staged this gag as a business proposition, to help both of us, and it ends right there. I mean, no go on this affectionate stuff you hinted at tonight Understand. Grace, Im not trying to be rude; youre the type I like, but youve got a husband, and I don't want to be on the tough end of any triangles! "I see, said Joyce, trying to keep elation from her tone. "Good! Thats settled, then. Now just one more thing; how did you happen to phone the cops this afternoon? It was a swell stunt pulled them off the lot so I could get away and arrange to have you planted in that rooming house. But I cant figure how you knew it would be smart! "I phoned from the studio.
