CHICAGO, May T f41.--May rye scared
to LAO, the highest for any delivery OF
that grain since April 1928. and most
other grain futures made important gains

vance and caused minor reaction
During the last Is minutes some prices
rallied sharply.

tional surrender apparently was of little
significance marketwise There was an
orderly. trade. in all pits at the start and
after the early demand had been satisfied
dealings queted.
Wheat rallied sharply during the last
half hour after the Board Of Trade an
nounced large reduction in the domestic
visible supply during the last week
At the finish wheat was 20 to | y higher

Crowded boardrooms saw the

CHAPTER rHIRTY-NINE


sANDRA AGREED both aloud
and silently with Sponsors tribute
TO Belinda. Just as he had said,
there was something about Belin-
da." A something that captivated
a person. once they penetrated the
protective shell with which she
clothed herself, and really knew her
for the wsrm-hearted, loyal child
that she was.
Too, Belinda was intelligent; ra-
Their. she possessed a sort Of canni-
ness that was almost psychic. She
was the one who thought OF Mrs.
Fennimore. Spenser had been work.
ing almost a month
you know, Red, guess we'd
better get in touch with that Mrs.
Fennimors. Call her up or some
thing" A serious frown puckered
the skin between her eyes.
While watching her, Sandra
thought: I'm glad her eyes are
brown like Gordon's, not blue like
her mothers.
Belinda went on: I'VE don't want
anyone to think we're sort Of farm

There did not seem to be much

No publicity had been given out.
Apparently Superior Studios pre-

girl said: We've been lucky that

Bernie Joined them Just then.
Belinda seemed to have forgotten
their rare luck in Spenser's neg
lected publicity. She bounced upon
her fat friend.
Listen, what's this about hiding
Spenser like an old shoe or some
thing? He's good, isn't he?"
Certainly! We just want to

yet her having a child along would
appear 80 natural there would be
no comment. Or, so she thought.
Mrs. Fennimore stepped OF the
train, giving the appearance OF a
lazy tourist. rather than a commit
tee woman on a business trip.
She smiled: ''Bodyguard! see"
Her nippy manner did not con-
tinue for, skilled as she was IN
reading children, she saw that Be
linda was shrewd enough 10 recog-
mis- sarcasm. Also, contrary TO
mist persons, she found herself Tx
ing the strange little brown-eyed
girl on this FIRST meeting.
She said when they were in a car,
donated by Superior Studios: San
dra has written me about you. But
you are much prettier than she said
you we're" Franlness, whether
critical or complimentary, was a
part Of her makeup.
Belinda recognized the quality,
largely because II was a part Of her
own nature. She smiled her thanks.
Yes, Red has made me into some
thing that doesn't brighten little
babies" She had been holding San
dra's hand; now she reached over
and took hold OF Mrs. Fennimore'A
Sandra had a moment Of amuse-
ment as she watched the gray
haired woman succumb to Belinda's
strategy. And 1t was surprising, in
asmuch as the child expert so read
lily saw through every word and &C
tion.
But Just then she said: Don't
try to pet me into a pleasant hui
NOR. Belinda II everything Is
right, you need not bother. II It

smiled at the little girl. but the re-
Duke remained.
Her franknesS was with her later
when she saw Spenser. They met
at the studio, but not at the mo-
ment she arrived, for the young
actor was mapping and could not be
disturbed. Meanwhile she sat and
waited In the small living room OF
his sleeping quarters.
When he eventually came out,
rosy checked and yawning, clutch
ing a large glass Of orange Juice,
that frankriess demanded: well,
Spenser, tell me everything. or I'll
find out some other way"
Her frankness went into words
directed at Sandra. Il came out
here decidedly provoked with you.
The thing smacked of exploitation.
But now that I've seen Spenser and
the studio, now that know about
the rest and diet and the tutor, and
above all, that he wants to do this
work, I'll be personally responsible
to his father. Or anyone who might
raise a fuss" Her franlness con-
tinued: Il wish I'd stayed In Chi
cago where l belong"
The British boy, who had stood
silent and respectful, now spoke,
treating her to some Of his acquired
American slang.
Relax, Mrs. Fennimore," he said.

II anything went wrong, she'd die.
She couldn't bear to see Spenser
disappointed.
Her heart was bursting with Af-
lection for Spenser. Yet when he
completed a rehearsal and walked
up to her she pretended not TO see
him. She munched chocolates with
a wide jaw motion, calculated TO
madden him. II did.
She turned after a while and
said: I'D ofier you some candy.

until they've shot several more
scenes. The more there Is done,
the less chance there will be Of
someone trying to undo IT,"
The little girl was so absorbed
in her own plans that she did not
notice Sandra shake her puzzled
head. She was wondering how an
adult ever had a chance against
the tricky knowledge Of a brilliant
child.
There was something about Mrs
Fennimore's voice when Sandra
finally did talk with her, that put
a lump in the red-haired girls
throat. It wasn't that the child well
fare woman sounded displeased ex-
actly. OF course, she certainly did
not sound pleased, either. Sandra
knew she wasn't when she suddenly
announced that she would start for
the west coast Immediately. After
a moment Of silence while she con-
suited schedules, she told Sandra
exactly when she would leave, when
she would arrive, then hung up
swiftly, leaving Sandra with the
feeling Of having been dealt a hard
spanking.
When Belinda telephoned from
Pasadena for results Of the phone
call she listened intently, then
asked: Want me to come over and
help you entertain her, Red?"
Sandra snatched at the sugges-
