TWO WOMEN =: By s2pAis ks,z

I everybody knows you've been In love
with him for years, and everybody
knows you're so jealous of me that you
could kill me, and everybodyu think
! YOU lied. You are lying, l say 1t now!
You are lying I didn't drive the car
| never touched the wheel!'
But Trude had fed in a passion of
. horror and misery. Mollie fell back on
| her bed and began to cry. She was
crying for her own cowardice, for Har-
vey's plight, for her smashed happiness.
She saw clearly what she must do.
| She must tell the truth. Her pride
| could never endure that Trude Gaines
| should think her a coward, no matter
! how much of coward she was. And
she saw herself dramatized, q great
! heroine, with every one awed and ad-
miring, stirred by her noble self-Sacri-
! flee. Besides. the law would do nothing
to her. judges and juries were always
| lenent to a woman-a pretty woman.
! She stopped crying and began to think
| it out eXultantly. 1t would be rather a
| thrill, going TO court and all that! How
splendid 1t would be to save Harvey
| So she reasoned, with a pitiful ignor-
ance Of herself, OF reality. And without
! further delay she set about her new
purpose.
It sometimes seemed TO Mollie Rut-
ter in the days that followed that she
had walked unaware into a new uni
verse, universe where one of her old
ways, her old standards, not even her
young and charming self mattered. Dis
regarding Harvey'S command, she Of
fered herself as the real culprit. To her
amaZement her quiXotism only annoyed
the array Of lawyers gathered to defend
him. Moreover. 1t enraged her usually
casy-going mother. who told her angrily
that she was an utter fool. 1t was re-
ceived with cold amazement by Har-
vey's father, and with a sort Of tndif-
ference, as If 1t didn't matter. Her
magnificent gesture simply fell fiat. 1t
didn't register. She suspected that 1t
was thought inconyenient, almost
nuisance
Only Harvey appreciated 1t. From
the Jail. awaiting trial, he could write to
her and she to him, and he wrote her
with such tenderness, such solicitude,
such forgetfulness of himself and his
hateful perdicament that she could
hardly bear it. She answered him at
length Her day became the sending of
letters to Harvey. the reading Of his re-
plies. She wouldn't go to parties, she
wouldn't see people. 1t was all Harvey,
Harvey!

of her bravery and appreciated 1t also,
though Trude had said quietly:
You didn't tell until 1t was too late,
and don't think that forget It,"
*%
IT was wearisome, dreadful time. 1t
seemed so unreasonable that Harvey
Larimore should stay In jail all through
that bright and lovely season.
The case came promptly to trial.
Harvey Larimore pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced TO 10 years in the ~eni-
tentiary for manslaughter, the maxi
mum penalty.
BY devious methods they obtained for
Mollie a last glimpse Of Harvey before
he was taken TO the penitentiary, and
the sight Of him. thin. haggard, with
pain and bewilderment cut deep In his
face, reused her TO new height Of pity
and abasement.
"Oh. If they'd only let me tell" she
whispered agonizedly TO him, clinging
10 him.

! Mollie had said nothing. Through 1t
| all she had sat on the running board OF
| Harvey's car, little crumpled figure OF
| distress.
The big car started on.
| You want to drive, Mollie?" asked
| Trude as the three women turned to the
roadster Mollie gave her quick. sus-
picious glance.
No. You drive. I'm awfully upset.
| mo wonder" said Jane Grant. "It's
the most horrible thing. How did 1t
| happen. Mollie?"
Trude pressed her arm warningly.
Don't ask Mollie about it now, Jane. >
! So the way to the Grants was silence
"Ill run you over to your house and
, then go on home, Mollie.' said Trude
when they had dropped Jane. How do
you feel-all right? Want me to come
in with you?"
I'm all right Trude, d'you suppose
theyll-arrest Harvey?"
"Oh. maybe. You know--unavoidable
accident and all that-and he might
have his driving license taken away
from him for while"
Trude was talking more to reassure
herself than Mollie. Mollie turned a
pinched face toward the other girl.
"Trude Harvey wasn't driving-I was.
/ hit them. ! thought they were all
going to get on the trolley. but these
two walked out right in front of me
right in front of me. I couldn't stop.
couldn't" Her voice rose hysteri-
cally
Shut up. That's no good" Trude
was frowning Why had Harvey said he
was driving? He had said it: she heard
him distinctly. Was he afraid there
might be real trouble? She looked
around at Mollie with impatient pity.
Listen" she said. You go TO bed and
don't say anything to anybody about the
accident, d'you hear?"
Il wish we'd gone right on and left
them there Then no one would ever
have known who did il"
Harvey wouldn't do that to cat
And don't believe you mean it. You're
just unstrung. and no wonder. Don't
worry, Mollie'
Mollie could feel Trude smothering
her dislike, her jealousy, to put comfort
and sympathy into her voice. There
was no good feeling between the two
girls, though they had kept a pretense
Of it going
She's always been in love with Har-
vey.' thought Mollie and in spite Of her
distraught condition she knew tingle
of triumph.
