B—6 DAILY SHORT STOR' WATCH DEATH By M. A. Tapp. MOLLY sat in the rocker and gently moved back and forth while i she stared with @ unseeing eyes at the traffic moving sporadically past her front window. Molly was 30, but she was still con- sidered by the standards of De- | lancey street to be a4 handsome wom- an. Not beautiful by a long way, but good-looking. On this particu- lar afternoon the ordinarily bright, amused glance of her eyes had hard- ened into a bleak stare that matched the grim tenseness of the hands which lay in repose upon her lap, holding the newspaper there. The dark, waved tresses for once were mnot meticulously brushed into orderly serrations, but tumbled about her head in unheeded confusion. Her glance dropped for the hun- dredth time to the baldly pitiless black type of the headline: *“Jerry Daley Denied Stay: Must Die!” The cold impersonal fact so un- heedingly spread on the front page by a heartless editor got to Molly at last. The sob wrung from her over- burdened heart brought her sister Eileen from the kitchen in sudden pity. “Don’t take to w. don't take to crying, Mol- Eileen pleaded, just a bit gruf- | fly. she didn’t want Molly to know. know how those papers are. print all sorts of wild stuff just to sell as many papers as possible!” Molly never ceased her rocking or her staring out the window. ‘“Jerry’s going to " she said tonelesly. “The beasts “Now, Molly,” Eileen soothed. “He's going to do no such thing! Attorney Curns will have him out of this mess, don't you worry. He told me not two hours ago that he had some new evidence that he was sure would dis- close who really killed Anselmi!” * % ok x "NIIRACLES don’t Y4 more,” Molly forget that . . .t .. at midnight tonight.” Eileen patted her sister's shoulder in sympathy. “That's eight away, and something is bound to turn up. Every one who knows Jerry be- lieves that he's innocent, just as we do.” Eileen, felt like crying, too, but “You happen any sobbed. “You . will happen y is everything I had to live for.” Molly cried. “Now these blind fools are taking him away from me!” “Didn't everybody on Delancey street donate to the collection so that we could hire Curns, the great- est lawyer in town? Doesn't that mean something to you? Jerry couldn’t have done it!” Eileen per- sisted. “Anselmi was Jerry's friend,” Molly went on as though she hadn’t heard. *“That's why, when he heard that shot and saw Anselmi fall on the sidewalk, he ran cver to help him. And the police found him there, with the gun in his hand and Anselmi lying there.” “That's just why I know Attorney Curns will save Jerry,” Eileen stated convincingly. “Jerry gave him the man's description, and I know Curns will ind him in time. Stop worry- ing, Molly.” * ok x % ILEEN went back to the kitchen, trying to make herself believe what she had said to comfort her sis- ter. She kmew Jerry was no lar, but she also knew that his Irish temper was capable of exploding danger- ously when he was wronged. No one FURNISHINGS ADDED AT WAKEFIELD MANOR 17th Century Floox Covering and Two Large Chairs Obtained by Memorial Group. Dr. Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Commission and vice presi- dent of the Wakefleld National Me- morial Association, yesterday an- nounced there has been secured for George Washington's birthplace at Wakefleld Manor, Va., & seventeenth eentury floor covering for the parlor and two large chairs of the period of the original house. This virtually completes the furnishing of that room, he said. The area is under jurisdiction of the National Park Service of the In- terior Department, but the Wakefield Association is taking a leading part in restoring the furnishings of the residence, which is patterned after the original building, officials said. Last month there were 2,410 visi- bors at Wakefield, representing 46 Btates and seven foreign countries. This set a record for March, Dr. Moore sald. e e SILENCED BY TENOR Welson Eddy Competes With Bath Room Singer. JOPLIN, Mo. (#).—A guest in Joplin hotel was taking his morning sblutions, warbling the refrain of a popular ditty. As the self-esteemed “Caruso” paused for breath, the tune ‘was picked up by a voice in the next room. The first singer remained silent, realizing the second volce was of much better quality. On his way out, 8inger No. 1 noted the room number of singer No. 2 and asked the clerk the person’s Mdentity. It was Nelson Eddy. the Time, Can’t Eat or Sleep ““The gas on my stomach was so bad |T could not_eat or sleep. ~Even my | heart seemed to hurt. A friend sug- gested Adlerika. The first dose I too rought me relief. Now I eat as I wish, sleep fine and never felt better.”—Mrs. Jas.

And a man would surely lie to save his own life afterward . . .! Molly never knew his temper. With her, he was in- variably as gentle as a lamb, because he loved her as much as she loved him. Ten years they had been married, and they were still deeply in | love. Eileen sighed and made out her grocery list to take her mind off the matter as much as possible. Molly sat in the chair and rocked while the light dimmed and the street lamps flicked on with yellow glow. It seemed unreal. It couldn't be possible that all this was happening to them, to Jerry and How could any one believe a good man like Jerry capable of doing such a thing? Jerry, who had been so kind and always so considerate of every one? As Eileen had said, he had no enemy in the world, and every one was his friend. Her despair hung before her con- sclousness like a sable pall, and her crying, Molly.” | whole body seemed pressed into a vise of strange, cold numbness. She | had meant it when she told Eileen that without Jerry there ocould be | no life for her, when for 10 years | she had been a part of him and | everything he did. The thin chime of the old clock on the mantel, one of their wedding gifts, sounded dolefully. Molly counted 10 strokes. It seemed hours before any sound broke the deathly silence of the room. Even Eileen had gone out somewhere. Then the telephone jangled jarringly, and Molly jumped up nervously. * ok ok % " RS. DALEY, this is Curns,” the | crisp voice at the other end | of the wire came sharply. “I called to tell you that so far, I haven’t found what I expected to find, but I have every hope. And my partner is at the capital working on the Gov- ernor. I just thought you'd like to know. An’ don't be worried, every- thing will be O. K.” Molly didn't bother to answer, but hung up numbly. Why did people do senseless things like that? Just to be kind, in a queer, distorted way? Tire Easily? That dragged-out feeling is fres quently the result of & consti- pated condition of the bowels. Headaches, sleeplessness and skin trouble may also in many cases be traced to the same source. Constipation is dangerous for aaybody. Nujol is safe for every- body. It does not affect the stomach, and is not absorbed Nujol makes ap for a defi- clency of patural lubricant in the intestines. It softens the wasts mattec and thus permits thor~ ough and regular bowel move- ments without griping. Just try Nujol regularly foe the next month and see if you doa’t feel better thea you eves suspected you could. Ask your druggist for Nwjol snd insiet on the genuine. a’.:fl[‘""' % 53 FOR CONSTIPATION THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, APRIL Like glving a condemned man a cigar- ette before he faced the firing squad! Molly laughed without mirth. Then she went to the bath room and grimly put something in her pocket before she returned to her interminable rocking and staring out from the darkened room. Eleven thirty came, and the sound of Eileen rushing in and siamming the door benind her cut into the sound of the clock striking the half hour. Efleen snapped on the light. “Molly, Molly!” she shouted. “I told you he'd do it! Curns found the real killer and he confessed. The Governor has already ordered the atay for our Jerry!” Molly was smiling happily, but she didn’t jump up or move at all. 8he just sat there staring out upon De- lancey street, where she and Jerry had spent so many happy years to- gether. Eileen shook her. “Why don't you laugh or cry or do something? Don't you realize that you won't have to WOITY any more, that Jerry is as good as free right now?” And then Eifleen saw that, indeed, Molly would never more have to worry about Jerry . . . or anything else!
