Jim Guthrie, tall, blonde, and deep ly tanned, took him by the arm. Because I tray so," he retorted. Come on. get into the elevator." He pushed his reluctant companion Into the car. The door closed and the elevator started its dizzy ascent. "A fine thing:." Jim's companion prumbled. "Here I've been away from New York for five years and the first time I come back you make me change my name. What if some c f my old buddies meet up with mc? Vhafll thev think?" Jim Guthrie puffed his cigarette impatiently. "Listen," he said. "I'm enly changing your name to im press this Kane suy. To him you're t'oing to be Pancho Brownaics X it kills you. After wc finish up here you can fro over to South Brooklyn and be Pete Brown or or usloc Iluth if you want." i The newlv christened Pancho rodded. "Yeah," he said, "but what Jo I say to this guy, Kane?" "You don't say anything," Jftn re plied. "You're just here as a wit ness. Ill do the talking." "But won't he think I'm kinda dumb?" "I'll simply introduce you as Senor Pancho Brownales, an as sociate of mine from Bucnoe Aires," Jim went on. "If you must say something, say I agree with Mr. Cuthrie.' Understand?" "But what if I don't agree with you?" Pancho demanded. mined her niece will sing in Pari and I'm afraid that settles It." Kana pointed to a picture on his wall oi Madame Delia an imposing look ing woman in the armour of "Brun hilde." "I've seen her picture in the opera house at Buenos Aires." Jim said. "She sang there years ago." Kane shook hia head. "She rules Elsa Terry with an iron hand," ha said. "She's a combination of the worst features of Gilbralter and Vesuvius." During the following week Jim Guthrie staged a determined cam paign to meet Elsa Terry. He bom barded her apartment with flowers, candy, fruit, books and notes askins for an interview. Much to the dis gust of Pancho. they attended th opera each night that Elsa san.?. But it availed him nothing. All of his presents were returned un opened. Not that Elsa wasn't intrigued by all this attention. Young and beautiful and thoroughly bored with the sheltered life her aunt insisted that she lead. El6a spent much time wondering about the man who was trying so desperately to meet her. "Forget about him," the aunt coun selled. "He's either a playboy or he's crooked." As a last resort, Jim went to tha apartment building where Elsa Ter ry lived. Inquiring for any vacan cies, he learned that the apartment directly across the hall from Miss Terry's was vacant.

The walls of the room were decorated with pic ture; of Kane's clients and the room was filled with several oper atic singers, for that was Kane's business, managing the business af fairs of opera stars. Jim sent in bis card and was ushered in im mediately to Kane's private office. Kane greeted them pleasantly and Showed them to scats. "I received your wireless. Mr. Cuthrie." he said. "This is an un lortunate business." "You're putting 5t mildly," Jim replied with some feeling. "I haven't made the slightest pro gress with Miss Terry and her tiunt," Kane continued. "Progress!" Jim replied. "We al ready have a signed contract with Miss Terry that calls for her to 6ing at the opening of our new opera house in Buenos Aires." ' "But her aunt insists that she must - ping in Paris," Kane said. 'Obviously she can't sing in Paris end Buenos Aires at the same time. She's not a ventriloquist." "Then we'll sue her," Jim said. "I ehould think, though, that wc could appeal to Miss Terry's sense of de cency." Pancho nodded vehemently. "I egree with Mr. Guthrie" he said. Kane sighed. "Yes," he agreed, "if you could get to see her. But she never sees anybody. She's not al lowed to." "In any case." Guthrie said firm 3y, "I will not go back to Buenos Aires without Miss Terry. I induced my friends to sponsor this season of opera and without her it will be a. failure. We have a right to insist ion the fulfillment of this contract." "I wish I could help you, Guthrie," Kane said. "You're absolutely in the right. But Madame Delia is detcr- seen and moved in the next day. A few days later, while he waa loitering in the lobby hoping that Elsa would come downstairs, an ex citable little man strode up to th desk. "I am Rene Ginard of the Paris Musical News," he announced to tha clerk. "I have an appointment to interview Mademoiselle Terry." Jim dashed to the elevator whila the Frenchman was being announc ed and when, a few moments later, Ginard left the elevator at the six teenth floor Jim was waiting to greet him. "Monsieur Ginard?" Jim asked blandly. The Frenchman nodded. "OuL That is me." "I am Miss Terry's secretary," Jim explained. "Won't you come in, please?" Jim ushered Ginard into his own apartment and quickly shut the door. "Miss Terry will see you in a fe minutes." Jim continued. "Mean while, allow me to introduce Signor Pietro Brownali, Miss Terry's ac companist. Ginard bowed respectfully to th bewildered Pancho. "Play something for M. Ginard Jim said to Pancho, "while I inform Miss Terry that he is here." Jim left Ginard in the company of the protesting Pancho and stroda quickly across the hall to Elsa's door. A maid answered his knock and Jim mustered a phoney French accent. "Mademoiselle Terry she is in?" he inquired. The maid nodded. "Mademoiselle Terry she is in there," she re plied emphatically. Jim crossed his fingers for luck and walked into the living room o Elsa Terry's apartment.
