young Warrenton * has told Sally Warren, society editor, he loves her, MeDonald’s Trial Opens morning of the trial Philip detained Sally a moment as she ‘was leaving his office with some copy to type. it was the first time he had spoken more than the necessary ‘Words to transact the business of the office, the first timle since the night she bad gone to Hillcrest. “1 shall be at the court house dur- fng almost all of the triaf” said Philip. “If any news comes in that will be important in the case, | have ‘asked that the mess@ge’be given to you, and 1 should iike to have you get in touch with meas quickly as possible.” “Of course,” said Sally. She still stood where she was, her face slight- 3y averted from him, her hands mervously clutching the papers. A terrible depression had seized her apd would not let her go. Philip had “spoken to her coldly. Their com- o®adeship was at an end, For days, he had been saying to her as ly as words and manner could say that he wanted nothing more to do-with her except in connection with routine. Tears of helpless self- came into Sally's eyes. First she been deprived of love, now she hhad lost the only friendship she really valued. “Sally, what’s the matter?” Philip hhad crossed to her side and she had Mot noticed, so absorbed was she in her own grief. She looked up at him startled, without thinking to hide the tears. “Nothing,” she said miserably, ashamed of her inability to control her emotion or to explain it away. “If it’s anything 1 can help about, ‘won't you tell me?” asked Philip, | “a the old tender, solicitous voice. Once Sally would have responded to the voice, but how it seenied to mock the friendship they had felt for each other. Philip's coldness had made her ‘bulld up between them such a wall | -ef injured pride that he could get | moWhere near her. Sally suddenly hhated him for being the cause of her tears, and hated herself for not being stronger. “I'm quite all right,” she said cold- fy “Is there anything further?” “No, that's all," said Philip tone- Jessly. Satiy worked in the outer office all @ay. impatient that she could not get to the trial, and listening eagerly to the scraps of news that came into the office. cag Hie “McDonald hasn't got a chance,” the sports editor. “They've got where the hair's short.” “He's framed, that's wha’ forted Lola Hopkins angrily. “If you kkhew McDonald like 1 do, you'd know he wouldn't hurt a flea if he could help it.” A Visit To The Jail HE argument raged in the office while McDonald stood trial with his liberty, perhaps his life, at stake. Bally concealed one bit of knowledge that she knew would never emerge to damage McDonald. She had rec- ized McDonald in the driveway the Morris house, but no one knew she had. True, Giles Benton knew he had been there. Sally sat up with @ jerk. Giles Benton knew that, but Beither her father nor McDonald knew! They would be unprepared for Giles’ accusation! At lunch time Sally sought out her father. He was surrounded by clerks and reporters, but Sally managed to get him to come with her for a bite fo eat. Across tne table, she told him hher story of the night McDonald had Ged from the car lights. “We'll run dowa and see McDonald Fight now,” said her father. “You fome with me, Sally. This may be important.” Sally shrank close to her father as they entered the ill-smelling hallway @f the county jail. A fat man with a Targe iron ring full of jangling keys brought McDonald to them and left @t Mr. Warren's request. McDonald looked pale and a broad lock of his hair had turned white in the weeks Since his imprisonment. When Sally told haltingly of having recognized im, or thinking she did, McDon- aid listened gravely until she was through. “What about it, Mac?” asked Mr. Warren, watching him closely. “You did recognize me, Miss War- fen.” said McDonald simply. thought ycu did at the time, nor Mr on neither. since it was never it up against me.” us why you went to the Mor- house at midnight,” demdnded Mr crisply. #1 seckon it'll sound like a craz GIRL BORN IN NASH FAMILY | Mr. and Mrs. F. 0.

That very day Miss Morris sent down a big basket of something to eat, but my wife was too far gone to eat it. Seem like all of a sudden the sight of the young ones eating that stuff, and her laying sick, not able to eat what she was hungry for. made me fighting mad. 1 says to myself, ‘Morris turned me off from work and now that my folks is sick and starving his daughter brings ‘em something in a basket.’ 1 made up my mind I'd walk up to his house and have my say out to him for once.” “You saw Mr.’Morris?” questioned Robert Warren eagerly. “No,” McDonald shook his head. “I couldn’t find nobody. But all of a sud- den 1 heard a dog bark and seen the night watchman’s lantern. 1 lost my nerve then, and started home. They caught me as I was leaving the gate.” “All you can prove is that you were seen leaving the gate,” said Mr. War- ren. “Phe next morning Mr. Morris found a threatening letter in his study.” “It Wasn’t me,” said McDonald. “I swear it wasn’t.” “I believe you,” said Sally. She fol- lowed her father to the door, Out- side, the August sunshine seemed too bright to her eyes, accustomd to the dim light of the jail, “This thing looks worse every step,” said Mr, Warren. “It looks to me as if Philip Page is mistaken for once in his man.” “1 don't believe that for a minute,” said Sally. “By some means or other, the truth will come out and McDon- ald will be cleared.” “I hope you’re right. my dear,” sai¢ her father. “I must leave you, now. An Appeal To Mr. Morris ALLY returned to the office and did not finish her day’s work un- til the rest of the staff had left. She phoned home to say she would not be there for supper and sat quietly at her desk, trying to think things out. Above all, she wanted to help the McDonalds. That much was clear. But could she help them by going to Giles Benton? She doubted that. What else was left for her to do? Philip and her father had exhausted every means of proving McDonald’s * innocence, and what could she hope to do that they had not? The shadows lengthened in the office. Outside the street lamps were turned on, but still Sally sat at her desk. She had not eaten since lunch time, but she felt neither hungry nor tired. She reviewed in her mind every scrap of evidence for and against Mc- Donald. She kept going back to the conversation she had overheard be- tweem Mr. Morris and Giles Benton, his hired detective. “I'm tired of the whole thing,” she heard Mr. Morris say, “l want the guilty man found and punished.” That was Sally's cue! Mr. Morris wanted the guilty man found and punished, but.he would not want an innocent man punished. If she could only convince old Mr. Morris that McDonald was innocent. If she could somehow communicate to him her own feeling that Giles Benton had been hired to find a guilty man, but had simply framed the evidence against a scapegoat instead. There was no harm in going to see Mr. Morris, at any rate. Sally smoothed her hair and washed her face, putting on just enough make-up to keep her from looking pale. She started for the Morris Wouse, walking slowly so as not to arrive too soon. If she timed her ar- rival properly, she would reach the house after dinner and find Mr. Mor- ris alone in his study. She habits well enough to be ly cer- tain that he would retire to his den to smoke his after-dinner cigar and be alone. As she walked up the circular driveway to the house, Sally breathed deeply the fragrant air from the rose garden. The huge stone pile of a house loomed up darkly in front of her. would not have to see Mary. Den- nison, the butler, came almost at to see her. “There’s no one at home but Mr. | Morris, Miss Warren,” he said. “Will you come in and wait?” “It's Mr. Morris 1 came to see,” hastened to explain. “Don’t tell I’m here. Just let me go in and knock at his door. He’s in the study, isn’t he?” “Yes, he is, Miss Warren,” said Dennison doubtfully. “Are you sure you wouldn’t like me to tell him you're here? He's expecting visitors at half past eight.” “T'll be gone by then,” Sally prom- ised. “I’m sure it will be all right if }1 go in and knock. 1 won't tell Mr. | Morris 1 saw you at all.” | “Just as you say, Miss Warren.” | (copyright, 1936.
