Everything was beautifully wranged, Laura would go back to Broadway and wait for the reporter to “make tis pile.” A Belasco bedroom 1s usually an Interesting sight, and Laura's “furnished room" {n a New York theatrical boarding-house was no disappointment.

Laura lied to Madison when he arrived, and Hed to him again after his suspl- tlons had been aroused by stories his Park Row friends had told him. But they were all ready to leave the place and get married when Brockton let himself in with his latchkey and the whole ugly truth came out. That was enough for Madi- ton, Laura had deceived him and he was through with her. She got a revolver and declared sha would shoot herself, Madison doubted her courage, but called in her colored maid to eee that she was acting voluntarily, Then he bolted.
