e THINGS HAS ComE { BEIN' FOLLERED BY ___POLLY AND HER PALS 3 A PRETTY PASS WHEN B HONEST CITIZENS CAN'T | COME AN GO WITHOUT R A SYNOPSIS: Kirk Stanard senscs vague trouble in the life cf Sencrita Flores, whom he hepes to wed. He does not know that che, loving him, is humili- ated by the realization that she is a cigarette girl in Divitt's gambling place. Nor does he knew that the story of the comorita’s cngage ment to a robleman, reported by her chaperene, the marquesa, aids Divitt's plan to keep her un- attached. Returning with party to Kirk from a theatre the home of Kirk a mether, Nelly finds the marquesa scarching threugh the drawers of Mrs. Belaise’'s room. Immediately realizing that the marquesa is responsible for a series of rob- beries among their new friends, Juanita forces her to take French leave of the Stanard heme and accompanics her to Divitt's. Chapter A SECRET LEAKS OUT “Well,” said Divitt, with a ques- tioning look at Juanita and a glance in the marquesa's direction. Umberto looked up from his place at the desk as Divitt spoke. Ga- breau, standing near the door, had curiosity written on his counte- nance. “I'm through,” remarked Juanita. “I've brought back your spy, and T'm through.” “She saw me looking in a dra er,” the marquesa remark: bolder in the atmosphere of D! off! “I was hunting some sleepi pow- ders, but she grabbed m “I've seen things beside that," Juanita interrupted. “I've seen a letter to you in code, Mr ivitt." “And that proves what?” asked Divitt. “I've heard this woman make a telephone ¢all that ended in the robbery of a house we had been en- tertained in. In fact .every house we have been in has been robbed except the Stanards’. I know that she is connected with these rob- beries and that you are behind her.” “You are insane,” said Divitt in @ low voice. “Dangerously so. The marquesa may as well accuse you as you her.” “I do accuse her,” said suddenly. “Why not?” Juanita asked. “I carried a stolen necklace to cne who had lost it and so gained an entrance to her home. “I opened the wqy for this wom- an into that home and others into which your chief burglar’—with a glance at Umberto—‘has entered. ‘Accuse me, if you like, Mr. Divitt We will accuse each oth Per- haps the police court will bring out the facts. In any case I'm through with th Divitt s looking at her. “You're pretty brave now about police courts, aren't you?” he said. “You weren't so brave when you first got here. You've been running around showing your face and find- ing nobody that recognized it till you feel safe anywhere ki “Well, let me tell you the police court would be safe as a mother's arms for me in comparison with what it would be for you. Further than that, you know nothing about me, can prove nothing. What you say is twaddle. But I know every- thing about you.” Juanita’s hand reached gropingly for the chair, found Gabreau's arm instead. She straightened whitely, holding to Gabreau's arm. “You know nothing,” she said. “I know,” said Divitt, “that your name is Beatriz Montega. That your home is not in the Argentine but, in Vera Cruz. I know what happened on the night of February tenth and that you are now being hunted in every country to which trains and vessels go.” Not turning from her fixed eyes, Divitt picked up a paper knife ly ing on the desk, held it out on his palm, “A little blade, Senorita Mon- tega—a slender little knife in a girl's hand—" A low cry cut across his words He smiled, looking down at her where sae lay, white and crumpled at his feet. Gabreau lifted her in his arms. bore her along the balcony to her room. the marquesa April breeze moving in the court yard stirring Molly's flowers around the fountain, making a silky whis- per. among the palms.

Dur- ‘mu the week that had passed since |she had burst with the Marquesa | Into Divitt’s office—] brought |*he marquesa in as one might | bring a sheep-marauding dog back |to its owner—Gabreau had sat ‘ sften in the chair beside Juanita’s sed, obeying her least word. | Fever had burned her at first | ind there had been nights of de- | | | irium, followed at last by a white ssitude when it seemed she would | drift out in the barque of the| great bed as mysteriously as she| had come. Conchita had nursed her in those first days, but Conchita was nursing Molly now. | Somehow the parlors were rock-i | ing along without Molly and with-| | out Divitt who seldom left Molly's | side. | Fifi, the girl who had taken Jua- nita's place, was gone also, after a dispute with Divitt. Fifi was rath-| er rough in her interpretation of Carmen. A rougher element seem- ed to be entering the parlors by way of response. | In some way the tidings of Fifi’s, realism and departure had filtered| in to Molly. Molly wrote a tremu- | s note to Juanita asking her to| ome back and pass the ciga | again. Also, would Juanita come in and see her? | Molly, apparently had not been told that Juanita was in the house. |She had given the note to Ga-| |breau the day after Juanita's re- | turn, asking him to get it to Jua- imm somehow. Gabreau had known, {that it was useless to give it to |Juanita until today. i Today, Juanita reading the note, coming back to earth with a body spent and a vision strangely clari- fied, divined that Molly wished to draw her out of the plight she was |in. Molly had known, but Molly had not been in accord with that | plight. | This knowledge was to Juanita |like a light shining faintly in a | dark, chaotic world. She resolved ito go back to the parlors tonight,: |if she could walk. And to go to see Molly. | “Molly got somep'n’ she want to | tell you,” Gabreau said. Gabreau had spoken little, sitting at Juanita’s side, his long arms dangling over the chair. Juanita liked to see him there. Even to her it had seemed that she was drift- ing out, that the shore was growing | fainter. “Is Molly very ill, Gabreau?” she 1 asked. He nodded. “No bebby now,” he said Juanita, in her weakness, felt the tears. “Poor Molly!" she said. “I think she glad,” Gabreau an- swered quickly. “I don't know, but I think she glad. Dis ain't no place fer chill'n.” “They might not have stayed here if it had come. It might have changed things.” Gabreau smiled, a faint, strange smile that made his sad face sad- der still .“Divitt never change,” he said. Juanita covered her eyes. The thought of Divitt brought back the last moment she remembered, the sight of his face, livid with fury, the sound of his words. She had wondered how he had known, who else knew, how soon they would come, hot on her trail, to take her back. Today Gabreau told her how Di- vitt had known. Gabreau waited table for Divitt and Molly. One morning at break- fast, shortly after Juanita had gone with the marquesa, Divitt had opened a paper that had come to him through the mail He had presently handed it to Molly, and Molly's exclamation had led Gabreau to peer over her shoulder. He had seen Juanita's picture and beneath it the word “Missing.” He had not had time to read more before Divitt had ordered him sharply to bring in the rolls. Gabreau did not know the name of the paper. It had been printed in English, but it might have been a Mexican paper. Divitt had said to Molly, “I uncovered something that time.” Ay, Dios .. There was a measure of relief in knowing that only Divitt knew, in knowing that Divitt had known for weeks and had done nothing, was| holding his knowledge merely as a whip to drive her, to prevent his own exposure. - But he could not drive her far—)] | never back into the world MOON of DELIGHT by MarganelBell Houslon YEAH! MARCH DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION AN’ EXPLAIN THAT the marquesa. There was way than that. Brown, waters, not so far away. She remembered what Kirk told her as the yacht was f down the river into the Gulf fellow I knew dived into this old Mississippi on a bet and ne came up. They couldn't even f him. It does that.” Murky, immense, cruel—she had hated to look at the river then. Kirk was beside her in the sun- light. The past seemed blotted out for the moment. She had known nothing of the marquesa’s mission. But now her closed eyes looked on the waters unafraid. (Copyright, Dodd, Mead and Co.) Molly—and not the marquesa —leaves the parlors Monday. But what will become of Juan- ita now? Fifteen Industrial Groups Make Report on Labor Situation anot WASHINGTON, D.
