CHAPTER XIII

D ED FLYNN'S mother died that
IN night, Some one telephoned
from the office, and told Molly.
Red lived away from town, and
his telephone was out of order.
Molly was not sure that he would
want her to go to him. so she sent
note by messenger, asking if there
was anything she could do.
When he received her letter, Red
telephoned to say that he had to
go to the Office. After that. if it
was not too late, he would drop in
ana see her.
She guessed that he was going TO
the Office for money.
please come" she urged. "It
won't be too late. whatever time, it
is 1t will do you good to talk with
some one. Promise me you'll come"
1T may be pretty late. You're
sure you won't mind?"
Not a bit" she assured him.
"They said at the Office that she
don't suffer, Red. I'm so glad"
NO" he said. "She went very
quietly. In her sleep"
THAT was beautiful" she con-
soled you mustn't feel too badly,
my dear. You were so good to her.
The tears people shed over their
dead are almost always for their
OWL thoughtlessness. We don't cry
so often for the things we did. as
for the things we didn't do. You'll
never have to reproach yourself,
Red. You were the best boy to your
mother that ever lived" e
II tried to be decent" he said
brokenly. "a sick woman has an
awful lot to put up with"
"I know. And you we're wonder
fully patient, dear. Well, come in,
when you can. Well have coffee
together, like We used to. I'm all
alone"
It was hours before Red arrived.
Molly had gone to sleep waiting for
him. He came apologetically, There
were things to do at the house, he
said. Lots Of things. He shud-
dered.
MY God, Molly, deaths a dread
full thing!"

sofa. while she rubbed his head.

to choose a casket?" he asked. at

to get something sort of soft

We'll find one that's dark and love-

sweet lining"
They make blankets of flowers,
don't they?" he asked Something
to throw over the damn hardness
Of the boards?"
Yes, beautiful things" she told
him. Let me buy it, Red. I'll get
one of pale pink roses"
She liked roses" he murmured.
The understanding ones. viii you
get that kind. Molly?"
She smiled tenderly, and prom
ised as though she ewere humoring
a child.
The very sweetest ones that
grow"
You're awfully good" he whis-
pered, and drew her hands from
his head. to kiss her fingers. one by
one. You're just about the only
friend I have. Did you know that,
Molly? There wasn't anybody else I
wanted TO see. but you"

might be relatives around. There

I'VE haven't any relatives" he
said. Besides. it was very sudden.
The doctors said her heart was get
ting weaker. But when the end came
it was sudden. Thank God hap

early, with some port I'd found for
her. We talked for a while. Then
she grew drowsy and dropped off to
sleep. She never opened her eyes,
Molly"
THAT was a lovely way to die,
Red"
Eyes" he said. ST suppose it
was"
They were quiet then for little
and Molly soothed his head again
with her cool finger tips,
THAT light is in your eyes" she
murmured. I'll put it out and light
the candles. Have you some
matches?"
She reached for the switch.
Red was fumbling in his pockets for
matches, The room was in dark
ness.
Suddenly there was a knocking
at the door. A venomous knock
ing. Some one pounded angrily
with his fists.
Its Bob" she whispered.
She reached again for the switch,
and flooded the room with light.
"Yes?" she called. Come in"
The door was flung violently
open. Bob, disheveled and furious,
stood on the threshold:
II knew It'll" he cried. :" I knew
I'd find him here"
Reds mother is dead, Bob"
Molly spoke quietly. He came
to ask me to help him choose a
casket. She died tonight, Bob"
HE looks as if his mother just
died!" scoffed Bob. "Tf that's what
men do, when their mothers die"
"Bob!" Molly laid her hand on
his arm. Il don't know whether
you've been drinking or. not, but
you mustn't make a scene here to-
night. 1 tell you that Reds mother
has just died"
ID ED had risen unsteadily to his
Let him say whatever is on his
mind, Molly" he commanded.
The things that are on my mind
aren't fit to say!" sneered Bob.
Red spoke slowly, measuring every
word.
"You came here once before, New
ton. and Id have thrown you out, il
Molly hadn't begged me not to. Now
1 think I'll murder YOU"
Red"
Molly threw herself against him.
Red dear, you're all upset. You
don't know what you're saying. Bob,
can't you see that Red is not him
self? Get out of here, before some
thing dreadful happens. You
shouldn't talk like that. You know
you shouldn't. I don't blame Red
bit for being angry. It would
serve you right, whatever he did to
YOU"
She was pushing Red toward tlle
cloth-of gold sofa.
sit down, please. Don't let your
self get so excited. Listen, Red.
Bogb's insanely jealous. He didn't
mean to be insulting. Bob asked me
tonight to marry him."
Bob advanced menacingly.
That's more than you ever asked
her!" he cried. You come here at
an hour when a decent man
wouldn't dream of compromising a
girl And you put out the light

rose upon the jungle stiffness the awful
cry of the challenging ape. Sheeta

l on ring. I had often seen them in his hands. Grunting a little for my poor knees, got up.
 Hand it over, John.'
 My heart stood still and my old legs trcmbled until I thought they were going to jackknife beneath me. The darkness did not prevent me from feeling the frigid blueness of Deacons eyes.
 Hello, Henry" I said unsteadily.
 I was looking for something"
 You found it, too,' he returned dryly Hand it over"
 See here Henry!" began in- dignantly.
 Its no use, John" His voice was weary, T know what you think Of that boy. I like him myself, too, but I thought good deal more of the father than I do of the son, and if Jerry killed Andrew he's going to pay for itl"
 Killed Andrew! You are crazyl'
 He laughed sh ortly. q don't know so much about that.

Dazed by the fall, I did not move for moment. The French windows of my den slammed to and I started on again. I was just in time to bump into Deacon as he was making for the back door
 See here, Henry"
 My conciliatory tone stopped him
 "Well?"
 Leave her alone" I pleaded We didn't know what we were doing. You and I have got to work together"
 Come to your senses, eh? Well, what was it you picked up?"
 "A bunch of keys"
 "Jerry's keys?"
 I nodded and sat down heavily upon the step.
 T must have them" Henry said, at length.
 But his voice was gentler.
 I'll get them for you" I prom ised, a trifle doubtfully.
 His hand fell on my shoulder. I've got to act as I see fit, John. It looks as if the young fellow did It. Unless he can tell a straight yarn I shall arrest him as soon as l find him." His hand tightened. I'm sorry, John. She's fine girl I'd give everything I have to make it otherwise.
 I nodded for I knew he meant what he said.
 He left me, then. Desolate of spirit I sat where was for a lit tie while, sorrowing for the friend who had gone. Then I got up and tried the French window. Copyright, 1929, William Morrow

 I watched Deacon shut the door behind them with deep misgivings for I suspected what Stimson was going to tell him. Heavy of heart, I began to pace up and down the room.

and with no definite object in view I proceeded slowly down the drive and along the winding path which I leads into my own preserves. Brood ling over the tragedy, passed through the French window. Lucy was sitting in the arm chair in front of the fire, which had burned down to a handful of embers. Her face was buried in her arms, but I when I whispered her name she looked up at me. I saw that she knew what had happened. The white misery of her face wrung my heart. Lucy is always so gay and buoyant What was I going to say to her? She came towards me and put her soft arms around my neck
 i've just heard about Uncle Andrew" she said gently. Lucy has called Ogden that for years.
 You got away early" I could think of nothing else to say.
 "Yes. Jerry didn't come so l drove home alone"
 She began to weep softly, her head on my shoulder, and I let her grief have it's way. Soon fer dark eyes were fixed on mine again and I knew what was coming.
 Where is Jerry, Uncle John?"
 What was I to say to her? tried to avoid her eyes, but their express sion was imperative.
 Where is he, Uncle John?"
 q don't know where he is" I cried desperately.
 You don't know!" she echoed in bewilderment You must know! Has-has anything happened to him, too?"
 See here, Lucy! Nothing has happened to Jerry. Nothing has happened to him, I tell youl He isn't home, that's aii He left the house a little while before. it happened. Pull yourself together 2. and go to your room. I'll tell you about it afterwards. I must go back now"
 She clutched my hand for an instant; then she kissed me on the lips and, turning, went out of the room.
 Suddenly, remembered it had been my impression that Jerry had dropped something as he fled down the drive. If my impression was correct I had better find whatever it was before Deacon or any of his men came upon it. I hurried through the window, crossed the garden and passed into the Ogden grounds. Making my way to where believed the object had seemed . to fall, I dropped onto my knees and crept and paved around the cinder walk. Without results, how ever. and decided to risk a match.
 Shielding the flame, I poked into the grass at the side of the walk. My pains were rewarded by gIint of metal. bounced upon it and found Jerry's keys. Six or eight
