The burden that remained—faintness and foreboding, the black night, terror, love and heart-ache—the river would devour it all. Brown, sluggish waters that never told their secret. Juanita started, opered her eyes. Gabreau, who had often sat be her bed as she lay ill, had drawn closer to her, was speaking more softly than before. “I know some’p'n else,” and as Juanita looked at him, “Meester Stanard come to de Tijon—many time. He telephone, too. One day when_he come 1 am in de lobby, wiping de tiles. He ask where you are and dey tell him you and de marquesa have go away.

"I nevair Jook like dat way.” “What did you say?” she asked. “I shek my head, and he go way. 1 am fool, yes, but all day I am sorry 1 shek my head.” “Gabreau!” Juanita half rose. sYou wouldn't tell him where I am!” “No. De marquesa hera too. I not even tell dat. But I am soiTy I shek my head. He look so much ~yorry and he come so mooch. He love you, Juanita? Yes?

You say mooch things, Juanita--but most you cry his name. Ar' so I know you love him.

More rain. | ‘Somehow the parlors went on. |Still Juanita, veiled and silent, moved about in the changed crowd. i The little note from Molly—Molly's last message to her—had begged that she return. Molly had wanted to say more but all she had had time to convey was her wish about the shawl. Conchita knew already | what Molly wanted with the shawl, having heard her say. But appar- ently Molly desired that Juanita should know too. Together they had folded it about her as she lay | asleep, Molly looking all seraph at |the last. Juanita knew now that she would stay until the end, since Molly had wished it. But the end was not far. There was a new chief of police. Places like Divitt's were being clos- ed daily under his regime. This would not happen to Divitt's un- less it happened soon. The parlors would die of them- selyes, now that Molly was gone. | Divitt's heart was not in them. He had come in but once in the five days since Molly died. If they re- vived it would be in the form of Divitt's Dive. Divitt would not need her—Juanita—then. He had said nothing about her going again with the marquesa. Now that he knew she was aware of the role in which he had cast her, he had said no more. Release would come to her in some way be- fore long. Divitt, if she knew him well, would pay her for her serv- ices in the parlors. She would go far away, even as Kirk thought al- ready that she had gone. Rain falling all day, all night. A filter of star light. More rain. ‘The marquesa sat in her room, listening to its drone on the bal- cony, its drip from the eves. Di- vitt would not let her go down into the parlors. Divitt would not let her go out into the town. She and Juanita were supposed to have left New Orleans. “For your own pro- tection,” Divitt had said. “What with you and Juanita taking French leave of the Stanards—" The Tijon had explained that Juanita had been taken ill that night, and that the marquesa had brought her home.
