UN streamed through a small, barred window into the room into which Molly had been unceremonijously thrust the night before. ’ But it was not the sun, but loud, angry voices that awakened her. “Of all the dirty rotten tricks! So he thought he could pull a joke like that on us and get by with it. Bringing a cheap little nobody— while that - Milford girl—!” The man’s voice died in an angry rumble. Molly could not distinguish ‘the rest of the sentence, but. she .had heard enough. For some reason the kidnapers were ‘confused about her identity. They believed she was that other girl—the one she had changed dresses with. Molly did not even know the other girl's name. She reached for the small brown purse, her heart fluttering wildly. Inside . were a handkerchief, compact, a smaller coin purse with some loose change, and a letter.

HE letter was postmarked the morning’ ‘before and" was addressed to Miss Leola. Barlow. Molly hesitated for a moment. It was necessary for her to know

something about this girl. Imme-

diately. At any moment now the door might open and they would begin questioning her. “Honey,” the letter, written in & man’s careless hand, began, “I'm sorry to break it like this, but Mae and I got married yesterday. It was something we couldn't help.

He was going back to Chicago, laughing up his sleeves at you and Louis,” the woman said. “He told you he wasn't goin’ to do no kidnapin’ for- you, and you wouldn’t believe he meant it.
