compact and lipstick that had belonged to the dead girl. With acute danger over for the time, at least Molly had lost the hunted, frightened look. The drawn lines about her mouth were gone this afternoon. Careful make up could assist with her masquerade. She brightened lips up to a vulgar vividness, spread a crimson flush on her cheeks, and applied powder to her forehead and chin.

The door had opened quietly. Frightened, Molly dropped the articles in her purse and turned. But the masked woman's words harsh and ugly as they were reassured Molly. least the woman had not suspected the real reason behind her careful makeup. "Prettifying, ain't you? And for what, my beauty? For Louis? It's too bad, but Louis don't like girls.

He'd stand up before a machine gun squad before he'd talk to one. If you knew how Louis feels toward you, you wouldn't be wasting no paint and powder on him. He figures you might be the cause of him moving to the Big House as a permanent boarder. Maybe, though, 'twas Steve you had your eyes on." "No," Molly spoke carefully. "I was just doing things to my face I guess it's just a habit with me." "You don't have to tell me about the habits of girls like you.

You had me fooled for a while, thinkin' you had been let down like a ton of bricks. Say, I sure was solt, fallin' for that line." "Honest, I it was just habit. I wasn't thinkin' of nobody." "Well, I don't like you with war paint on. It gives me jitters. Take it off and don't put it on again.

Wait, I'll get you a towel." "Now, Winnie, I wouldn't go to so much trouble." The tall man Molly knew as "Steve" lounged in the doorway. The woman whirled at the sound of his voice. "What's the sep.se of her makin' herself beautiful? You'd think she was going to a dance instead of spending the night in the wood room." "It's a pitty she got messed up with Nelse. She'd look right nice on a dance floor," Steve drawled. "So you think so!" the blond woman exclaimed angrily.

"Hold your tongue, Winnie. What's the excitement about any way? Just because the little girl makes her face all red and white kinda cute looking, I think you throw a fit. You're play ing the wrong card, Winnie. You should know better than to throw one of those jealous tantrums." "Jealous! Who me?" the woman shrilled. "Jealous of her!" "Of her and every other skirt." "Have it your way, Steve.

Have your way." ALL the violence had dropped from the woman's mood. She seemed suddenlv uttprlv wparv and dejected. Molly thought, with swift intuition, "She really loves hiaxi "I don't want this littlp Vmll dozed any more," Steve wWrbn. tou understand me, Winnie?" "Sure. I understand vnu.

I al ways understand you." "bee you don forget. The man walked iu When his footsteps had died in the dis tance, tne woman whirled on Molly fiercely. "You win just as the others have. I oughta be used to it bv this time, hut the urnman isn't made who gets used to it." Molly wanted to cry out, "You stupid woman. I couldn't be interested in a man like that." She remembered her role in time.

"You've got me wrong," Molly said with feeline. "He's vour hus band, isn't he?" Much eood it does me. Tt never made any difference to Steve that he boueht a marriaee license and stood up with me before a preacher." "He shouldn't trpat vnu like that, not when you love him as like you do!" There was real svmnathv in Molly's voice. "Honest to God," Winnie breathed, "I believe you're sorry for me!" "I am," Molly answered simply. Winnie searched Molly's face for a moment.

"It's funny how I feel about you. I'd like to wring your neck sometimes, and then, sometimes fightin' for you. Guess I'm just plain dumb to be fightin' for you, seein' the way Steve is." "What do you mean fighting for me?" "It's Louis. He's lost his nerve. He's afraid for you to be turned loose.

And nobody's got time to play nursemaid to you all the rest of their lives. I've been standin' up for you when Louis starts talkin'." "What does he say?" Molly whispered. "He says dead men don't tell tales. And dead girls don't either." (To Be Continued) PRINTING TRADES MEETING The Allied Printing Trades Council will meet Friday at the Ad Lin Building.

A member of the orchestra at "Frenchy's" tells Brent Stuart that a young woman sent him a message, hut the message is loss. The musician adds that the (irl looked exactly like Mollv Milford. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX rjACK in the library, Brent turned the pages of the news Daoer with shaking fingers. The report of Molly's death had almost crowded the story of the bank robber from the front page. It was there, less conspicuously placed, and there was a line read ing, "Picture on Page l.

Brent studied the photograph of the young man the police had slain. There wasn a douot oi it. He was the same man who had uanced with Molly that night at "The Red Poppy." Sleek dark hair, bold eyes, lips parted in a smile revealing very white teeth He read it all the story of Handsome Harry Whitman, known to his cronies as Nelse Ferguson, gambler, alleged gunman, jewel robbery suspect, who had contrived, through iron clad alibis and skillful lawyers, to live in a swank ppartment instead of a penitentiary cell. The account hinted that the gangster had been betrayed into the hands of police by former friends. Acting on a tip, officers had eone to "Frenchy an eat ing place across the river.

A girl had been with Whitman, but when the lights were switched off she had disappeared. Police were of the opinion that she was merely a chance acquaintance of the rob ber and not involved in the bank robbery. Brent was breathing hard. The lights had gone off just as they had that night the same man the girl who had looked like Molly. "It makes sense.

It's a complete pattern," Brent found himself saying aloud. "It's got to make sense!" He picked up the telephone and called a number. "Mrs. Milford, piease. Tell her Brent Stuart is calling." After a short interval he heard Donna's voice.

"Brent, you poor unhappy man." "Donna, may I come out for a moment? It's something urgent or 1 wouldn't ask you to see me now." "Of course, Brent. Come immediately." FIFTEEN minuates later he was saying, "Donna, please humor me. I know I sound insane, but I want you to try to remember. Was there anything unusual about Molly? After death, I mean." "I don't understand, Brent." "Anything different. Anything at all you may have noticed," Brent urged gently.

"It's so hard to talk about. It doesn't seem as though it could ue true." Donna's voice was choked with emotion. "Yes," Brent said in a low tone, "but try to remember." nntirpH nnp thintf nartinn larly. We they," she shuddered. ner snoes were so ugnt.

it was a little difficult" "Much too tight?" "Yes. I why do you ask?" "Donna, please! Was there anything else?" "Yes. Molly always liked the very best of everything. Naturally, you know. The silk slip she had on was different.

Trimmed with lots of lace and the material was inexpensive. But of course, she may have had an inexpensive slip." "That was all?" "Yes," Donna replied slowly. "No, there was something else. She didn't like vivid finger nail polish. I do, but Molly always preferred a natural shade.

Her nails were deep red. She must have decided to change. I told you about the mood she was in. Fed up with doing the same old things, she said. It must have been that Molly suddenly lost her mind." "No," Brent said.

"Molly's perfectly sane." "Donna did not notice that he used the present tense. She said, "You loved her, Brent." "Deeply, Donna. Ever since she was in high school. But I never told her. It didn't seem fair until after her debut.

I wanted her to have her fun, and not be swept into marriage because of an early romance. Now," his voice was tense with repressed emotion, "I wish I had. Maybe we would be married, and she would be safe and happy now." Donna watched him drive away. Brent was taking this awfully hard. What a strange state of mind he was in asking all those morbid questions.

She had humored him because he seemed so desperately eager. Driving rapidly, Brent found himself talking aloud. "The girl who killed herself wasn't Molly. Molly sent me a message after that girl was dead. She's alive!" He could have shouted the fact aloud.

But if he did, who would believe him? People would say grief had unsettled his mind. That girl who was so much like Molly that her father, her stepmother, and the man who had loved her for years had been deceived, was not Mollv. Shp hart worn Molly's clothes, but she was not Moiiy.
