nervous" DIR. Don corrected, gently.
II think you can leave tomorrow.
Where will you go?"
For the first time it occurred to
Sonia that she must return to rooms
haunted with Maxine.
II can't go to the apartment"
''Dont you think you had better
go home for a little while?"
Bewildered as she undoubtedly
was, his question astounded her.
"Back to Stockton"
"Back to your mother and father"
But she refused.
"They'd drive me mad with ques-
tions. How did it happen, what
were we doing out with these men,
etc"
He smiled at her. wistfully.
"You haven't had enough excite
ment yet?"
''I never want another thrill as
long as live" she said petulantly.
But neither can I endure the life
at home"
He said then. "Your sister,
Vera, has another baby. A boy this
time"
I'm glad it's over. You talked
with mother?"
Eyes. I tried not to alarm her.
And I promised you would call her
yourself tomorrow"
"That's fine. You're such a
reach. You remember / told you
I'd call on you If I got into trou.
ble?"
1T remember ...."
"I didn't dream I'd have to call SO
soon."
She saw the color mounting in
his cheeks.

CHAPTER XIV


Day was breaking when Sonia
opened her eyes. She looked for
Maxine's blonde braid on the pillow
beside her. And realized, with
sweeping bitterness, that she would
never see it again.
It was the morning she had hoped
to see the sunshine over Tamalphis.
Where was Franklin? Was he, too.
sleepless with ltmorse, facing gray
dawn? And Mac? Sonia shuddered.
She pictured him, more considerate
than usual, a model husband, spend
ing Sunday with his family. How
furtively he would scan the morn
ing papers for an account of the ac-
cident! While Maxine lay dead, ac-
cusing but forever silent!
''It isn't fatr," thought Sonia bit
terly
She lay listening to the sounds
about her The padded noises of
a hospital, The subdued clang of
elevators, smothered bits Of conver-
sation, smooth-rolling rubber tired
carts-all the business pertaining to
illness and death! Emotionless save
for the frantic grieving of some nov
ice at suffering, called upon to face
bereavement for the first time.
A nurse entered for early temper
atures. Her professional cheerful
ness greeted Sonia. Later came an
unappetizing tray. Sonia drank the
hot coffee and pushed it aside.
The conviction grew upon her that
she must get away. She would be
really ill if she were forced to re.
main.
Long before time for Don to re-
turn she began watching the door,
I listening for steps which might be
his. The wrist watch Franklin had
given her had been shattered in
the accident She was compelled to
guess at the hour
When his lean, dark figure ap-
peared she could have cried with
relief.
"How are you, Sonia?"
%I'm all right. Only can't en-
dure staying here. Please, Don,
make them let me go home"
He held her wrist, counting the
pulse, which she could feel ham,
mering with unusual rapidity. When
he had finished she held his hand
pleadingly, over hers.
Don't leave me here any longer
I'll be ever so much better if I can
: get up. It's lying here makes me
so nervous"
The Indianapolis times., 1926-11-19

Sonia was Indifferent even If
those restrictions included Franklin.
She was not ready to see him yet.
There were a great many things to
be considered before she saw him
again.
She swallowed the powder the lit
tie nurse brought to her. Don had
promised to return early in the
morning. Until then she would en-
deavor not to think. But try as
she might she was nto able to push
the tragedy from her mind.
The piercing screams which mad
proved to be her own. :.
Franklin's ragged voice, his limbs
trembling, as he stared at MaXlne's S
bloodstained body.
Time after time she was reused
from the verge of sleep to feel the
car pitching over the embankment.
Time after time she was reassured
by the little nurse, Don't cry, Miss
Marsh. It's all over now"
But was it? For Maxine in the
San Francisco morgue, it was indeed
over. No more scenes with Mac. No
mere desire for romance or adven-
ture! 1t was all over, But for
Sonia, bruised and tortured by re-
membrance, there might be years
ahead.
Sonia lacked the strength to face
those years.
Her f-confidence had been shat
tered. She was afraid.

GREAT THRILL SCENES IN
 PARAMoUNT'S "CONTRABAND"

Flirting with death in the path of several large automobile trucks, weighted down with heavy cargoes and travelling 35 miles an hour-a speed at which it is difficult to con- trol the road behemoths-Was the pleasant pastime indulged in by Ray mond Mckee during the filming of "Contraband," Alan Crosland's latest Paramount production with Jack Gun ningham adapted from the absorbing novel by Clarence Burlington Kelland.
 In this scene, which was made at night, Mckee is shown gathering up a bundle of order blanks that had been blown from his hand and into the road. While gathering them up in an absent-minded way he was nearly run down by the trucks, the skill of the hand-picked drivers alone being responsible for the averting of such a catastrophe.
 One driver, particularly careless regarding his own well-being, was selected for the most hazardous task which he accomplished perfectly. He twisted the steering wheel first to one side and then the other, avoided Me Kee by an eels whisker and finally crashed into the bank at the side of the road. He cheerfully announced afterward that he was not even shak- en up
 This is only one of the many spec tacular thrills in the picture which britsles with melodramatic action re- volving around the efforts of young newspaper editress to break up a poli- tical and rum-running ring.
 Resides Mckee, the featured play CTS include Lois Wilson, Noah Beery and Raymond Hatton. "Contraband" will be the feature at the Liberty theatre tonight and tomorrow.
