A beautiful woman going alone to

Had Kitten left such one drink

ten and gave her a long look.
you're 10, Kitten? Listen
now to the story I'm going to
tell:
There was a 19.year-old girl
who met a married man. Only
she didn't know he was mar
ried. So when he invited her
out she accepted. It was all in
fun at first but he knew how to
make a girl love him. That's
what he did to her; he made her
fall desperately in love before she
knew it.
''And one night he gave her too
much to drink and took advantage
OF her trust ="
"He promised to marry her, so
she kept meeting him. BY this
time she had lost sight Of every
thing but him.
"Then another night he told her
1t was all over: that he had a
wife and never intended to marry
her.
"She threw herself into his
arms and he struck her. He told
her TO get out. She knew he
carried a gun; she had seen it..
In a fit of madness she snatched
it. Maybe she shot him; she
never knew because everything
went blank"
He paused, studying the elfin
face.
"Can you cry, Kitten?"
'I suppose So"

to see him. How fine he was!
She wouldn't doubt any more.
Marty had his own reasons for
helping Kitten, but Kent had the
