CHAPTER XII plot thickened. Perry JnJ gersoll, according to Rod. had gene to Bernice’s apartment on the da;, her body was found, with the marriage license and a wedding ring in his pocket. He had, in fact, shown them both to Red and Slim Boynton. He had another fellow with him tnaf morning. A boy from Jhe university who was going to be his best man. Bernice didn’t want any bridesmaid, for all her gorgeous wedding gown. She said she couldn’t trust women, and she hadn’t a girl friend in the world. They were going to drive to the house of some man Bernice knew, who Has a justice of the peace, and the ceremony was to be performed there. Then they were all going back to the apartment for a wedding breakfast. “But I don't understand.” interrupted Molly. “You say Ingersoll and his best, man went to the apartment that morning. But Bernice’s body wasn’t found until afternoon. She'd given her maid the day off, you remember. The janitor found her that afternoon, when he went in on business. And the medical examiner said she’d been dead for some hours. Now if Ingersoll had been there in the morning, as he says, he’d have found her then.” “He did!” triumphed Red. “That’s just it! Bernice was dead at .9 o'clock. Cold as ice, the kid says.” “But he didn't give the alarm?” “You're darn right, he didn’t give the alarm. The boy's not so dumb as lie acts. Anyhow he's a welcher. I told you that already, didn't I? He was scared. -Scared to death. And you ran t blame him much at that, Molly. There wasn’t anything he could do for her. And, naturally, there was going to be a row. Police and all that. “Nobody knew that Ingersoll had anything to do with Bernice. There Hasn't a chance of dragging him into an investigation. Not so long as he kept his mouth shut. Maybe his friend, the best man, had the cooler head of the two. I don’t know. Anyhow they made a safe getaway. And nobody saw them.” n 8 a RED paused. And a dramatic . silence fell between them. “Well.” he demanded, “what, do you think of that?” Molly shook her head. “I don't know. It rather does away with the suicide theory, doesn't it?” “Absolutely.” agreed Red. “Didn't T tell you she’d ordered groceries and champagne for a wedding breakfast? Nobody does things like that, and then takes a swig of cyanide.’’ "No," she said. “No. T suppose not. Wht does Ingersoll think. Red?” “Hell. Ingersoll knows!” Red dropped his cigaret on the rug and ground it fiercely into Molly's precious Kashmir. His eyes were blazing. Like a good story teller. Red had saved his climax. And now, having reached it, the horror of the thing seemed to engulf him. “Bernice had a date the night before.” he said. “And that date was .with Barrows!” "You mean," whispered Molly, “Barrows killed her?" Red shrugged his shoulders. "Circumstantial evidence.” he admitted. “He had an alibi, of course Said he spent the evening at home with his wife. Lord, that's no alibi! Mrs. Barrows was just naturally a go-through sort. She lied for him, that's all." “But I should think Ingersoll would have been a state witness!” exclaimed Molly. “No. he had sense enough to keep out of it." repeated Red. "You can't blame him for that. Bernice Has dead. It wasn't as if he could do anything for her. Naturally, he thought of his folks. It would have been sweet for his mother, wouldn't it. having him mixed up with a girl like Bernice, and the papers full of it? Besides, if he'd talked, he'd have been suspected himself. Imagine if he'd kicked up a rumpus there, and anybody a come in!" Molly laughed hysterically. “You know what would have happened?" she cried. "We'd all have remembered that poem of Oscar Wilde's about the man who was hune for killing his sweetheart. and wed have Quoted these lines: ” 'And blood and wine were on his hands

When they found him with the dead. The poor dead woman whom, he loved. And murdered in her bed.’ ” Red slapped her on the shoulder. “Attagirl!” he approved. “That's the old punch, Molly. Sob stuff traight from the muses. . . . Well, what do you think, dear? Am I right? Is there a plot there for a play, or isn't there?” “Os course there is," she agreed. “It could open with the trial of Barrows. . .” "And sum up all the evidence in the first act,” broke in Red. “Make a regular mystery of it, you know. Might even make the testimony point toward some other guy. Then switch it around again, and when you got the audience thinking it was Barrows, suddenly acquit him. Make a great anti-climax of that.” “Then open the third act with that place on Beacon Hill,” interrupted Molly eagerly, “and the In- ■ gersoll kid crying. ...” “Oh, no,” demurred Molly. “We’d have to have a surprise climax. Maybe we could convict Ingersoil. | . . . No, that would be too obvious. We might drag the best man in.” tt tt tt SHE was very excited now. Her cheeks were flushed, and her i eyes were blazing with an uncanny ! light. “Oh, Red." she cried, “do you | think we could do it?” Red blushed furiously. “Gosh!” he muttered. “I can’t write. I'm only a police court re- : porter. But there’s your plot, Molly. I Go to it. old girl!” I He took her hand awkwardly. | “I’m awful keen on you, you know, Molly.” “Red!” she exclaimed, and ! thought, guiltily, of Jack. “You’re I not making love to me, my friend?” | “Love!” he repeated. “Now, Molly : be your size.” “Well, I didn’t really think you | were,” she protested. “But I ! thought I’d better be sure, Red, be- | cause you see I have a boy. And I’m pretty crazy about him myself. I wouldn't want you to get me wrong.” “Yeah?” Red shrugged non-com-mittally. “Well, remember what I told you about getting married, dear, ‘On to Gehenna,’ like the ]X>et says, ‘or up to the throne, he travels fastest who travels alone.’ You don’t want to forget that, Molly.” “I won’t,” she promised. “You haven’t any idea. Red, how anxious I am to have a career. Why, the very thought of writing a play—feel my heart, Red!” It was beating, beneath her ruffled blouse, like a fluttering bird. “I'm so excited,” she confessed. I “and so absolutely crazy, that I | think I could write your play. Red.” | “My play?” he scoffed. “It's your play, dear. Will you get to work on it, Molly?” “Oh, I will!” she promised. “I will!” And—happily—thoughtlessly—she

HERE IS A BUNCH OF BOYS WHO CAN SING

Chase Boy Singers Prove That People Love Good, Wholesome Melodies Done in the Right Way on Stage. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SUCH an act as Chase Boy Singers is a credit to vaudeville, and the way this wholesome bunch of young fellows are going over with Indianapo- | lis audiences is a credit to the city. These lads are just lads who love to sing. They are not actors. They are boys who love to sing. There is very little showmanship to their act. These lads stand on the stage and sing in a group or leave the group for solo or duet work.

There is one lad. the blonde sort of a chap, fourth from the left, is a

wonder as to voice and personality. He and the lad with whom he sings are the strong ones of this group of twenty. They sing wholesome songs. They stay away from jazz. Their simplicity and their youth cause' them to stop the show. Here is a real novelty on the stage. Hear these boys sing. Another act of real merit is

Boy Singer

that of the Original Mounters. These five people do all kinds of tumbling stunts off of tables, chairs and the like. Fine act. Well done. I did not care for the nonsense of Ernest Hiatt, but the audience did. Mack and Argo have tame material, poorly delivered. The movie feature is “New Year’s Eve" with Mary Astor and Charles Morton. It is the sob stuff but well done. It is full of the sick little boy idea and his sister who gets in a bunch of trouble over a hundred dollar bill. I liked it. Another feature is the movies of the Sonnenberg-Lewis wrestling match in sound. Here is the real article. Now at the Lyric.

threw her arms about his neck. “You dear old Red!” she cried. Red kept his arms stiffly at his sides, and the color drained from his thin, flushed cheeks, so that the freckles stood out, big and bold, idee a small boy's. "I’ll write nights,” she declared. “Every night. I’ll begin tomorrow.” n tt n BUT the next day Molly was unexpectedly assigned to cover a murder trial in another state. They called the defendant an anarchist and a bolshevist. But that was wrong, for he was just a gunman, and it was a mistake to call him long, brave names. Because many people came to believe him unjustly persecuted, and some thought he was being prosecuted for his convictions, rather than for the murder of which he stood accused. It was the murder of an old man who was night watchman at a factory where the defendant was said to have entered for the purpose of robbery. Chicago knew the defendant for a gunman and his record was bad. There was, however, a good deal of hysterical sympathy for him. The judge, who was said to be prejudiced against the accused man, was fearful of an attack, and had requested police protection. State witnesses were also pr6tected. And the jury would be guarded day and night. The city editor called Molly to his desk before she had time to slip off her coat. “You're familiar with the Mandinello case, of course,” he said, “but I want to tell you about the elaborate precautions they’re taking for the protection of Judge Brewster and the witnesses for the prosecution. It’s as much as your life is worth these days to take issue with a gunman. “We don’t try murder cases in the paper. It’s bad business, and it’s dangerous. But we’re going to take a stand on this thing. We believe Mandinello is guilty, and we’re just about going to say so. Covering the trial will be ticklish work for our reports and we are not going to assign anyone who isn’t willing to take a chance. “It’s up to you. Molly. If you want to take your life in your hands, and go up there—fine. But it's your own funeral. I’m warning you. Sonic half-baked cuckoo may try popping off somebody before the trial's over. The police are looking for gunplay. If you go. it's entirely on your own responsibility. “On the other hand, it’s a chance to do some good writing. Crusader stuff. We’ll plug your copy for all it’s worth. And play your name up in big shape. Don't give me an answer now. Think it over for a while. . . .” Molly laughed. “I don't have to think it over, Mr. Wharton.” she cried. "And you know what the answer is. . . When do I go?” (To Be Continued
