JA\NI By ELEANOR EARLY THIS HAS HAPFENED Molly Burnham, whose new boak, Ashes of Desire, heads the list of best sellers, leads an exciting ~ but rather depressing life. Molly is very much in love with Jack Wells, who loved her once to distraction, bur whose ardor seems to have cooled o1 late. In fact. Jack has told hér flar- ly that she is altogether too famous for a struggling young man to marry. never bear to be known as Molly Burnham " / Molly is considering now a rathsr unromantic proposal from Bob Newton. Bob is insanely in love with her, but he is an_ unstable, selfish person and Molly hates to contera- plate marriage with him. On ‘hs other hand, he is the father of a little girl whom she adores. Since the death of Bob's first wife/ Moily has cared for their small daughter. Now she is fearfully afraid that, it she refuses to marry Bob, he will take Rita away from her. She pros:.- ises to gjve him an answer day after tomorrow. NOW GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XLIT Rel Flynn's mother died night.

I'm so glad.” “No,” he sald. “She went very quietly. In her sleep.” “That. was beautiful,” she- con- soled. “You muetn't feel too “adiy, my dear.
