Molly’s eyes filled with tears. “Dear old dad!’’ "And now.’’ she decided joyously. "I can take a little apartment! I can have a kitchenette all my own, end a nice big bath!" CHAPTER VIII MOLLY found an attractive . apartment on Petcrboro street, tub-letting from an artist, who had done amazing things with packing boxes and a paint brush. There was scarcely a piece of real furniture In the place. But the walls were hung with any moth-eaten damask, and there were great gay cushions instead of chairs. Molly’s bed was a feather mattress on a box spring, with a piece of red velvet thrown over it. And instead of tables there were Oriental tea trays that stood a mere six inches from the floor. There were hardly two pieces of china that matched. Peasant crockery from southern Europe, amusing and colorful. A samovar from Russia. and tall brass candle sticks. Molly bought her own kitchen things in buttercup yellow enamel, and made a gingham curtain of bright blue checks for the kitchen Window. She painted the woodwork ivory. And bribed the janitor to put down a piece of linoleum. It was all quite charming. But Molly began to feel like a widow. Bhe wanted .lark fearfully. Boh and Rita lived down the street a block and Molly had loaned ♦hem most of the furnishings from her room at college. Bob was doing a. little legal work, but not earning nearly so much as RU, who had a part-time social job. and a gymnasium class four afternoons a week at Miss Mayhew’s school for girls. As if that weren’t enough, Rita gave swimming lessons on Wednesday and Saturday nights at the Y. W. C. A. And tutored two of Miss Mayhew’s backward little girls in first year Latin. "Bob is so dissatisfied,” she told Molly, "because I happen to be earning more money than he is. He seems to consider it a personal affront. He acts as if I’d crucified his pride.” Molly noticed that. Bob was extravagant. where Rita was thrifty and frugal. Kc bought, for instance, an electric radio, on which Rita was contriving to meet the payments. And he purchased any number of books, which he never seemed to find time to read.

Crystal still was expertly avoiding Colin Grant when, late Friday afternoon, anxiety about Sandy Ross's safety on his homeward flight became acute. Nothing had been seen or heard of his homeward-bound plane since a ship had radioed, at noon, the news of its being sighted above the turbulent waters of the Gulf of Mexico. NUMBER ONE LONG OVERDUE AT TAMPA." was the headline of the home edition of The Press. Sandy's intentions, as announced on his takeoff from Managua. Nicaragua, had been to stop at Tampa. Fla., for refueling, since he was carrying a lighter load than had burdened him on his nonstop flight to the dying boy. And a storm was raging over the Gulf of Mexico. Had the frail monoplane been blown far off its course? Or had it crashed to Davy Jones' locker? ‘Better knock off for dinner, Crys." Harry Blaine told the whitefaced girl. "Your sticking around and fainting on the .iob isn't going to help Sandy." She obeyed, listlessly. If Tony's heart, as well as her own, was to be broken, there would be nothing left to live for. She started to enter Charlie's Coffee Pot. automatically, since it was the nearest restaurant, when she caught a glimpse of Colin Grant crouching over one of the counter stools. She turned away, seeking another mating place with net the slightest Interest in food. A sign in the window of a fourth-rate hotel, which catered to transient laborers, announced "Best Dinner in Town—--75 c" She entered, with a fleeting smile for the unconscious humor of the sign, and took a table in the almost deserted dining room. Soup, miss? Vegetable or cream of corn? . . . Yes. miss, won't it be awful if Gar Sandy’s lost sure enough, after his grand flight and all?" the waitress asked. Make it two soups—vegetable." a curt voice interrupted, and Colin C rant jerked out the chair opposite Crystal’s. When the sir! was gone, huffily, he grinned a twisted grin, and answered Crystal's unspoken comment: “Yes. I know you thought I was safely out of vour way,in Charlie's. Well. I'm here now—and what are you going to do about it?" ‘Let you pay for my dinner." Crystal retorted. "And I suppose I should add. ‘Sir. why do you pursue me?'" "You know damned well why Im pursuing you!" Colin replied, naked pain in his black eyes. "Listen here. Crystal, I can’t stahd any more of

ONCE he picked up a small Oriental rug, with a dash of j dusty scarlet that took his eye. ' And again a bit of Chinese damask of an indescribably lovely blue. Sometimes he bought woodcuts. "I think it's outrageous!" stormed Molly. "He hasn't any right to buy ; things he can't pay for." "But he does pay for them,” pro- ! tested Rita gently. ' "Yes. And lets you pay the rent, i and buy the groceries," declarefl Molly indignantly. "Whx not?” retorted Rita. “I’m perfectly willing to. Besides. I'm glad he loves beautiful things.” Rita had grown vary thin. And ; her red lips weft like a bleeding | gash in her white face. They made j Molly think of blood in the snow. She tried to write a verse about i them called "Rita’s Mouth.’ but it ! sounded, she was afraid, like an j autopsy. Molly was getting along famously. She had had two raises, and ! was earning S3O a week. Sometimes she saw Ruth Woods, who had lost her baby in July. Ruth was as pale and thin as Rita, and usually looked as though she had been crying. She and Zip had rented the lower half of a two-part house in Merrymount. But Ruth seemed to have lost all interest in life. Rita declared that she believed Zip made his poor little wife feel like a stone about his neck. Ruth had been ill for several months, ana her doctor's bills were terrifyingly large. There were times when Molly wondered if she wanted to be married after all. Consider her two best friends. Rita might fool most people, with her hysterical gaiety and her strident laughter. But Molly knew. The trouble, Molly decided, was Rita and Ruth both loved their husbands more than their husbands loved them. It was ever so much more comfortable for a woman when when the man loved her most. e a a MOLLY was doing an occasional theatrical interview now. Once she met a celebrated French actress who was married to an American producer. The actress told Molly that her husband sent her a telegram every morning, wrote every day, and telephoned every night. She was a very happy woman. And. from continued observation, Molly concluded that there was a shrt of aura about greatly beloved women. An ineffable radiance that distinguished them from their less fortunate sisters. On the other hand, there was something piteous, she though, about those unfortunate wives who give infinitely more than they receive. Before long Molly was keeping a notebook, and penciling her observations of love and life. She had some rather hazy notion of writing a book. Something about a woman’s soul. She thought of love as a flaming passion that suffused humdrum lives. And she envisaged women as creatures made for either pain or love. Unrequited affection was the curse, she decided, of the unloved sisterhood. And the blessedness of being beloved was. of all things, the sweetest and most satisfying.

this. There's no use telling you I love you. "You've known it since the minute we clapped eyes on each other. And there's equally no use your saying you don't love me. because it would be a lie. . . . Well, what are we going to do about it?" Crystal's heart lunged into her throat. With shaking hands she broke a hard roll, but forgot to butter it. “I—we're not going to do anything—about it. Colin,” she managed to say at last. "The devil we aren't!” he exploded angrily. "You know I'm shot to pieces—can't write a word. Do you expect me to go on like this?” Crystal raised her eyes and recarded him very steadily, though her heart was beating so furiously she felt as if he must hear it. “I expect you to be 'on your way’ tomorrow. as you had planned. That’s what you really want, Colin. To be free to go.” "Free!” he snorted contemptuously. "It's a swell word, isn't it? It just happens not to mean anything. . . . Free! If you call this being free—not able to get you out of my mind even when I'm asleep: not being able to write because I'm tormented with wanting you—oh, yes. I'm free!” And his laugh was so horrible that the returning waitress was startled into spilling his soup. (To Be Continued.)

Molly thought she was learning a great deal about life. She had studied, in college, Pope’s "Essay on Man." and she remembered the quo T tation. proclaimed by the professor of English literature: “The proper i study of mankind is man.” It was a pleasant study, and Molly was an earnest student, i The Inquiring Reporter column ! bad not lasted very long, and for j that Molly was devoutly thankful. : The first question she propounded ! was this: "Should an ana tor, when he is married, give up hazardous flying?" The first person she approached I was a portly gentleman, who happened to be very deaf. Curious passersby stopped to listen, and presently Molly and the deaf gentleman were the center of an amused group. Finally, utterly discouraged, she ; called the photographer, who loi- ! tered across the street, i “I never felt so silly in my life,” i she lamented.” ass a THE photographer grinned unfeelingly. "Sure they do. Why wouldn’t they?” Then, seeing her evident distress, he relented. “You weer so cocksure of yourself. Sister, I let you strut your stuff. Nov/ I'll shore you the ropes.” He hailed a taxi, explaining as he helped her in, "Taxis don't go so hot on the paper, but if we want to grab a factory crowd doing the noon hour, we haven’t any time to lose. Get a gang together, that's the idea. Then they think it's a big lark. Here's a tip for you. Phone a bunch of place*, and get the foreman +o line up some smooth-look-ing janes for us and a coupla slick Johns. We can shoot the works in ten minutes. Give you a chance to kill a little time on the job.” It was, after all, the simplest thing to do. But Molly felt very uncomfortable about it. To protect the photographer, who had a weakness for shooting craps and liked to steal an hour or so, she was obliged to waste that amount of time every day. To ease her conscience she devoted her time to observant little strolls along the water front, or thi'ough the Public Gardens. and along the Common. And she wrote pithy paragraphs about people and circumstances that seemed unusual or interesting to her. At the end of the week she submitted several sheets of copy to the city editor. “Good stuff,” he approved. “I like j’our bit about the old man and the little lame girl. And this dog story’s good. People like animal stories. Keep it up.” On the following Monday Molly was relieved of her Inquiring Reporter assignment, and given the joyous privilege of compiling a column of her own. “About Town” they called it, and it proved a popular feature. And, before long, she was doing news stories. Stories with a human interest slant. A boxing match, from the woman's point of view. And then a wrestling match. She talked with ball players and their wives. And finally she interviewed theatrical stars. It was great fun, sitting down front, on a press ticket, and meeting the press agent in the lobby, between acts, to be taken to the star's dressing room. It was always the nicest dressing room, and it usually had a star painted on the door. Usually the glamorous lady had a maid, and sometimes she had a secretary. Her maid frequently helped her dress while she chatted to Molly. Molly loved theatrical interviews. But the biggest thrill of her life came on the day she was assigned to cover a murder trial.
