friends. Daddy must never hear about
them.
needed my husband but couldn't
wire him to come home. couldn't
risk teleoraphing him the least hint
of AIMS connection with the murder
case. Of course the police were watch
ing all the wires.
l heard the clock strike six before
had formed skeleton of plan to
shield Ann. For shield her / must
until Bob came to take the burcen
of all decisions from my shoulders.
Having husband certainly weakens
a woman's judgment. / did not know
whether it was right or wrong for me
to save Ann from the prosecuting
attorney. My husband would have to
decide that.
The thing was too big for me to
handle. Ny head was aching. Only the
coming of dawn forced me to make
compromise decision. l would study
the morning accounts Of the pro-
ceedings in the Ives murder case and
carry on according to whatever hunch
l gathered from the papers.
If no one else was suspected or
CHdTSOu WIFI DclilS IiS man . iuuI-
derer, the outlook for Ann might be
dark. Silence about Ann might we'll
indicate grave suspicion of her.
Then it would be my duty to go to
the authorities at once and convince
them that the Hon. JONES d. Lori
mer must not be distressed by any in
quiries they might wish to make. One
of his lawyers would have to be trust
ed with the unfortunate story until
Bob came home to manage the case.
The only comfort had was the
peace which had been restored be-
tween Bob and me. Only one night
had passed since Bob had seen Claude
Ives bending close to me- But in the
short intervening hours Ives had been
slain and Ann was brushing the edge
of horrid scandal.-And understood
for the first time in my life how one
''can live years in a day"

THE BOOK OF ANN
The Weak Double the Responsible
ties of the Strong

Not even the shadow of prison
could keep Ann from falling asleep.
She slumbered as quietly as an inno-
cent child while | remained awake all
night. l was weary and wretched. l
needed to forget the woes of the day
Ny irritation increased, my insomnia
thrived on the idea that Ann could
evade her desperate dilemma by doz-
ing comfortably while l remained
painfully awake to worry about her
and to plan for her.
1t was unfair. Ann had created a
tremendously serious situation and
had assumed that she could rely upon
me to get her out of it!
"Unfair-but human" was my bit
ter comment as | turned my pillow
over for the hundredth time. In al
most every family some weak, selfish
unthinking member doubles the re-
sponsibilities of the strong. Thus the
weak rule the strong, thrive like par
asites on the energy of others, and
hamper the advancement of the fit
test members of society.
/ have always tried to do my fair
share in carrying the family burdens
but l must confess that / do not like
to be hampered by persons who say
81 never thought" as Ann does. l
don't like to bother with other peo-
ple's affairs as Ann expects me to
do. | don't like to run things as l
must in AIMS case.
And | do like to be left alone to
carry out my personal undertakings
according to my own methods. New
ertheless Ann, whom / had known
scarcely a month, was spelling my
nights as well as my days. I COM
planned bitterly to myself as / count
ed the soft Ginning of my boudoir
clock.
That Ann could sleep at all shock
ed me very much. I had read once
upon a time that the remorse of a
red-handed murderer is seldom so
great as to spoil his sleep. And 50
concluded that AIMS peaceful slum-
Der did not prove her innocence.
What if it only proved that she was
a creature born without conscience?
Whenever l wrenched my thoughts
from Ann / fell into still deeper de-
spondency. No matter how the mur-
der case developed, Daddy Lorimer,
must not hear that any suspicion
was attached to Jim's new wife. In
quiries would surely be made when
the authorities learned that Ives and
Mrs. Jimmy Lorimer had been good

Mistress Miranthy Ann.
Poh1nk IT G


Dear Miranthy:
Here | am at last, in San Fran
cisco, Californy, at the Democratic
National Convenshun. I'm gettin' set
tied down in the most wonderfulest
hotel departments | ever seen, with
licorish lighs a-poppin out on all
sides a the walls, an hot water
streamin' into the wash bowl, JUS
eny time you turn on the spiget-
besides havin' perticuler life-size
pusonal. pearly-white bath tub, all
my own, with six towels an green
soap in fancy paper throwd in.
But iansakes, honey, amt found
out how | arriv yit. What with my
new sachel a-bustin' wide open JUS
as | was about to climb off'n the cars
an me almost a-fallin' inta the arms
of a chocolate colored gintleman with
a red hat, who said he otta carry my
duds as fer as the front door, enyway
ia hep me out-well, say!
told him it was awful nice of
him ia be so friendly when / didn't
have no relatives in town. An | can't
figger out yit why it was he looked
so horrible Indifferent an sarcastical
when took them bundles from him
an told him much obliged three
times, in my very best Pohunk per-
liteness.
Right after l left him, | almost
run over another awful friendly pus-
son who was wearin' a policeman's
badge and sailor-officer's cap. An
grabbin' my valables, like the man
JUS left, he says, awful curtious, ~
kin jus run you up to your hotel in
no time, we'll as not"
He was so awful considerin' an
respectful l JUS up an tells him to
go ahead, me not KNOWN where he
might be a-takin' strange lone wo-
man, way out in Californy.
But / kinda felt it comm on when
l met that there assistful colored gin
tilman at the train steps, that this
here San Francisco is an awful
friendly city. So | ups an hoists my
self into a black box arrangement on
rubber wheels, an place in front
for the man with the perliceman's
badge, an we was off.
Oh, Miranthy, l can't tell you how
glad was to git out agin, after that
second gintlemen had drove me round
an over the cobbliest streets ever
hope to see, and landed me fer 81
an no change at my hotel door. An
us almost running smack into Ford
car on rout.
can't never hope to know how he
found out what was my pertickler
place of residents. but I've already
com to the conclusion the Californy
people are awful handy with their
heads
But to resoom and continue
This here lovely, outwest city is
surrounded on most every side bv
