! Harvey wouldn't do that to a 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 pretense
of it going
+ She's always been in love with Har-
vey." thought Mollie, and in spite Of her
distraught condition she knew a tingle
Of triumph.
MoLLIE was awakened by the raw
shout Of an early newsboy, "Extry!
Extry All about the double ottamobie
murder" She sat up in bed, suddenly
alive and awake all over
/ My Heavens!" she exclaimed. They
can't mean mel"
/ They did not, 1t soon appeared, mean
/ her. They meant Harvey.
/ Mollie felt herself go sick. She
/ reached for the telephone. It took a
/ long time to get the Larimore house.
J The line was busy busy and busy again.
/ At last the butler Not until he found
out who she was would he tell her any
thing

No. miss, Mr.. Larimore's gone In town
early this morning to see him. Yes,
! miss, Miss Trude is here"
Trude came TO the telephone. Her
/ voice was tired and impatient.
/ Il can't talk"
! Mollie answered: Then I'm coming

"You stay away" said Trude. Wait
until tomorrow. Or, tell you, tele-

And where was Harvey? Why didn'i

/ Perhaps Harvey was somewhere where
/ he couldn't write or telephone. Per-
haps something dreadful had happened
/ 20 Harvey. Perhaps, perhaps-her i'm

/ easy life, Mollie put another persons
safety before her own.
/ II she only knew! To be in blind
/ ignorance OF danger Is 10 double and
/ triple fear. She would not call up Phil
/ Crant~-6he might get nothing over the
