One of the officers from the

OF course, he knew Wallace and
spoke to him.
That upset the brother story.
My friend took Wallace out for
a ride. Before the ride was over
he had forced the truth out of the
boy. Wallace was warned to stay
away from me, but he didn't do
1t and that brought more trouble.
The freedom / wanted so much

told me where might go for

Perhaps a stronger person
would have broken the spell un-

ages of narcotics already were
weakening my win. My greatest
desire was to protect my career
I would yield to any pressure to
hold my place In pictures.

ITS true! / am one! I'm loSt!
Hospital bills, nurses, doctors
fees. operating costs had taken
all my salary and more. I finally
discharged my nurse, determined
to fight this thing out alone.
Perhaps I was becoming recon-
ciled to my fate.
I held a certificate from my
doctor authorizing me to obtain
narcotics. I was registered in
Washington as a hopeless addict,
an incurable sufferer who had
to have 1t because Of my physical
condition. Any doctor to whom
my credentials were presented
had to supply me.
After my nurse left faced the
task Of giving myself my first
shot. I had been taught how to
do 1T, but the thought of giving
myself a hypo Mortified me.
I boiled the needle as directed,
but I trembled while / did it.
When'I finally got the solution

needle. My hand was trembling
so I could hardly see 1t. Several
times I touched my arm with 1t,
then drew 1t away. Something
within me, even in my pain, re-
volted.
But at last the screaming urge
of my body overcame whatever
reluctance may have been in
my mind at taking the first step
alone.
jabbbed the needle into my
skin and pressed down the plum
ger. 1t was done.
Almost instantly the quieting,
deadening drug began spreading
its allaying effects over my
twitching nerves. There was
physical relief, but with it some
thing hardened in me.
20. X, then I am a hop-head,"
was my thought. Fair enough.
l don't give a damn"
With that surrender I had an
other skeleton that had to be
kept hidden in the closet.
THE country was becoming
] more and more critical of the
lives Of the movie stars. Scan
dals and tales of Hollywood orgies
had brought the entire film in
dustry under the lash of rebuke.
Rumors of dope addiction were
prevalent. FINLAND was warned
to mend it's ways. Clauses went
into contracts TO curb scandalous
conduct. Private lives must be
free from stain.
There was /, my career in the
balance, saddled with an Illicit
affair with a married man and
nova slave to dope.
I tried hard to keep my Sec

and began spending a lot Of his
time hanging around the station.
The police made IT their duty

strange alliance in which I lived
frequently made 1t imperative for
an officer to remain in the house
overnight as a bodyguard. There

I was sure was getting well.
I went to bed and quickly fell
asleep with free mind and con-

A few hours later awakened
out of a nightmare in terrible
agony. Every nerve in my body
felt like a thread Of soaring
flame. Every fiber in me throbbed
with pain.
My frantic screams brought
the nurse running. She rushed
for her kit. OF course, 1t was
gone.

THE MAMMAL WANT


Wnen sne ana Melody left ABOUT
noon.
A sudden thrill went through
her. Perhaps Barry had re-
turned and was In the house.
Quietly, she entered. Someone
was inside. She could hear foot
steps in Barry's bedroom.
She tiptoed across the living
room, and pushed open the bed
room door. 1t creaked a bit as 1t
swung back. and Kay found her
self staring into the surprised face
of Dick Morrow.
Papers were strewn all over the
bedspread, and on the floor was a
steel drawer from Barry's private
file.
"Oh. hello" he said nervously.
His coat was off, and his shirt
sleeves rolled up.
"Oh. 1 thought II might be
Barry" the girl said. 81 found
the door open and came In,
and then I heard q noise In
here and hoped that maybe he
had come hack. I intended TO
surprise him. Have you heard
anything from hlms"
mot a word" Morrow answered
positively. Kay knew he was lying,
as Melody had found out from the
other servants that Barry had
been located in California, but she
didn't catch him up on his false
hood. II merely confirmed the i'm
preston she had had last night OF
him.
He apparently thought that his
presence in Barry's private quar-
tiers needed explaining, for he
said:
'Tve just heard that q Stanley
Gilbert was looking for Barry in
Memphis. and I wondered II that
had anything TO do with his dis
appearance. I never heard Barry
mention Mr.. Gilbert. but
thought there might be something
in his private files that would give
a clue to the mans identity and
his connection, II any, with my
boss"
Morrow's mention of Stan was
q dead giveaway to the girl. She
realized now that he and Jetta had
been spying on Barry all the time
he was in Memphis. Her obvious
conclusion, too. was that Ching
was secretly in their pay. Morrow
could not have known about Gill
bert except from Ching. rs she
and the Chinese boy were the only
two who knew about Gilbert's visit
to Barry's apartment. Ching as
spy. explained other things, too.
The notes from Jetta. He must
have been the one who mailed
them on orders from Morrow or
Miss Dorne. All Of them had
Memphis postnark on the enve-
lopes.
Il think you're making a bag
mistake II you think there is any
thing sinister in Mr.. Gilbert's con-
necton with Barry"
What's that? What do YOU
know about GiIbert?" Morrow
demanded.
Il met him in Memphis. and
rode all the way from there TO
Reno with him on a plane" It
amused her to see the shifting
expressions on his face. From
surprise to astonishment and then
to a crafty look. were the rapid
changes he registered. His face
was much too expressive. she de-
cided. for him TO be a crook.
'oh. 20 then YOU know Stan
ley Gilbert: Tell me some
thing about him. Did he say
what he wanted with Barry"
