A GIRL.s MURDERED FAITH


 l put my hand softly on the arm of Joan Meredith. I had always be- 1 lieyed that to have ones pride driy- en down in the dust and trampled on is much worse than having one's heart broken. I knew this was true when I heard Joan's next words.
 When he said that he had di- vided the money which l spent on him with such joy with his wife. Judy, my heart just stopped and l hoped 1t would not begin beating again.
 Everything about our love which 10 me had been so sacred had just been business 10 him. Why. that wife of his had introduced me to him just for that. She knew I had money. She knew her husband vas fascinating. She either does not love him at all or else is very sure of him, Judy, too sure for honesty. believe that Barry loves me as well as he could love anyone. Only one thing she is sure of. she must have money. and for it she is willing to pay almost any price.
 T told Barry that he had murder ed my faith in all men.
 He just looked at me.
 "'And-and-and. if l don't get that money for you. Barry what are you going to do"
 "I have to have it, Joan he said | And even at the worst you cannot tel your stepfather. I happen to know that you will not be of age until next week. By the terms of your mothers will if the least bit Of scan- dal attaches itself to your name be- fore that your stepfather may have charge of all your money as long BIS he lives and he only has to give you hundred dollars a month or as much more as he wishes.
 "'That is the reason why I want ed to go through a sembance Of marriage. He could find no scandal in that
 "'How do you know that, Barry?' asked.
 "'Oh, make it my hsiness to find out these things. I also found out that your dear kind stepfather would like nothing better than to get something on you. For reasons of his own he is not ready quite yet 10 give an accounting of the money your mother entrusted to him to l keep for her children.
 "A pretty kettle of fish, isn't tt? But surely you have someone that can take care of the fire for you. "'Dont you know anyone among your mothers friends who cares for you enough so that you can go and tell them about this?' off I do, Barry. they will arrest you for hlackmail.'
 "'No. they won't. Tn the first place you're not going to tell them my name. and in the second place there is always that clause in your mothers will.
 "T don't care how you get it. Joan. But, you've got 10 get that money and get it before tomorrow night at ten o'clock"

Joan Meredith stopped abruptly and looked me in the face
 Where are we going to get fifty Thousand dollars?" she asked. as though who had not had more than two hundred and fifty dollars at one time in my life could go out and pick fl up from the sidewalk in Iron of the door,
 But, Joan, you wouldn't give that Iscoundrel fifty thousand dollars even if you knew where you could get il, would you?" l asked
