PITFALLS
LOVE
By ADELE GARRISON

AS I handed the group photo
graph TO Halloran glanced at my
father, and saw a familiar CLINT in
his eye, as IL an intuition OF his
own had been confirmed.
Georges, however, looked frankly
bewildered. To him the photograph
meant nothing, but my father had
recognized il instantly as a picture
of members OF the cast in the
Veritzen production OF my play,
and knew when he spoke that he
shared my theory as to the iden-
tity OF the man planning TO imper-
senate Georges.
"Good work, daughter" he
said in a low voice. II am sure
your intuition is correct"
POINTS OUT ONE
We all watched Halloran as he
studied the photograph, and at last
held il out 10 me, pointing out one
of the men in the group.
This Ia the man." he said.
'T am sure OF It."
1 took the photograph from Hal
loran and held it out TO Georges.
There's your double, Georges,
I said lightly, for l guessed that
he was nervously wrought up.
His start OF establishment told
me that he too had recognized the
photograph at once. Then he broke
into hurried speech.
MARYs LEADING MAN
why" he stammered, "this IL
that unspeakable swine Redheid,
that bounder who IL Mary's lead
ing man."
/ saw my fathers eyebrows rise
at this outburst. also comprehen-
sion mingled with astonishment In
Hallorans face.
I knew the reason for Georges
luminosity against Redfield lay In
his perhaps subconscious romantic
interest in Mary.
"You are sure Of your man,
Mr.. HaIloran ?" my father asked.
Absolutely" the makeup
man replied. II could swear to
him anywhere"
"You may be called upon TO do
that very thing" my father said,
then, at the dismay in Halloran's
face, he added, "but IL will DO o.
secret session. with news cam
eras barred and only certain
facts given OUT
'T knew that man was q rotter
the first time I saw him."
Georges said vehemently. "Weil,
there's one consolation, Mary
never will have 10 appear with
him again"
GEORGES OBJECTS
"Unfortunately," my father
said coldly, "that does not rest
with Mary, nor yet with Philip
Veritzen. Redfield II engaged In
subversive activities, of which
this attempt to get hold Of your
money IL only one detail. Federal
authorities will decide just how
much rope IL to be given him. In
order that he not only may hang
himself securely, but may also
moose some OF his associates for
us"
But. but Mary" Georges
started TO protest.
my dear boy" my father
said. laying his hand paternally
on the shoulder Of the young
exiled king. don't you think we
can safely leave Mary's welfare
and ease OF mind to her husband,
10 her father-in-lsw, and to my
daughter. author of the play and
closer to Mary than any other
woman:"
His tone and words, though
kind, subtly reproved Georges
presumption. That the young king
caught my fathers meaning II
saw by his flush and sudden silence.
"And now" my father said
more briskly. 81 think you and
Mr.. Halloran would better get
on with the task of making you
ready for n public appearance"
"Oh. of course" Georges said.
As he and Halloran started for
the bedroom. my father asked:
How long before you'll he
ready, Mr.. Hallorane That bank
official will be here shortly, you
know"
