 Miss McGowan came knocking, thermometer in hand.
 Now what have you been saying to excite my patient, MT. Wells?' she demanded.
 She sent him away, and followed him into the hall to whisper:
 Her temperatures 102!'
 CHAPTER XIX
 The paper was sending Molly to Florida to recuperate. It was the night before she was to leave. and Jack had come to say goodby.
 She greeted him rapturously. "Oh. Jack. Ritas going to have baby.'
 "Zatso?"
 "Is that so?" she cried. why, Jack Wells, I thought you'd be thrilled to death."
 He grinned. Lots of women have 'em."
 But Rita's different" she pointed out. Theirs was a companionate marriage"
 well it all amounts to about the same thing, doesn't it? Now she's going to have child, like her mother and her grandmother, and all the mothers since Eve. Nothing very revolutionary about that"
 Well, anyhow. I think it's per fectly wonderful" declared Molly. "Rita's the happiest girl in the world"
 Mollys eyes grew wistful-"Just seeing her so glad made me think it must be wonderful to be married, and to be going to have a little baby"
 But us writer's" taunted Jack, must have our careers. You know, Molly, I haven't mentioned break ing our enga cement since that day at the hospital when you ran temperature on me. But I've thought of it plenty, and l haven't changed my mind any Molly had put her arms about his neck, when Jack did most in credible thing. Unclasping her | hands, he withdrew from her en- brace.
 "Molly, cant be hardboiled when you do that. Cant you see that what I'm trying to do is for your own good? If l were to bust up your career, I'd feel like a rat. And after while you'd hate me. | n o+h you're going to make a ton of money. Then where do I get off? i Nowhere at all. You'd despise me if you had all the money, and didn't have any"
 That's a dreadful way for you awful flop.'
 Then I'll marry you,' he prom l ised.
 But that's not the half of it." she declared. Suppose I do get somewhere you're going 10, too. honey.'
 Sure I am," he boasted. "Only l haven't made the grade yet. And I'm not going to be any hanger-on while you're going strong. If I'd made my little pile. it would be a different story. Don't you know I'm right. dear?'
 No. But I'll do what you say. I'll let our engagement be broken. if that's what you want. And, by and by. l can prove that I love you more than fame. or money, or any thing"
 Molly was struggling with the | clasp on the pearl studded fratern-

Let's not get personal" inter posed Red hastily. Hey. look Molly look at the Yellow Peril over there!"
 The Peril was a tremendous wom- an in a yellow sun suit. She was dressed like the slim young things, in suit without a back. And her flesh fell in great loose waves, that quivered like jelly.
 You ought to bring a jane like that into the play. Touch of comedy. We'll have to relieve the tragedy somehow. How'd it be to introduce a scene on Don Ce-Sa beach?"
 Molly watched the young people on the beach with marveling inter- est. She had heard so much of the thing called Sex Consciousness. Where was it, this stalking. horrid Consciousness that had the adult world by it's ears? Surely there was none of it among these beautiful. and girls who romped and swam and rode the waves like sun-tanned sprites
 There's a new Youth" she told Red wisely. and the oldsters don't know it. Look at that girl-the one in blue. There isn't enough material in the suit she's wearing to make a handanna. And the boy with her the one in trunks, without a jersey did you ever see a finer looking boy in your life?"
 They had been racing in the water the girl in blue, and the boy in trunks-and now, breathless, they had thrown themselves on the beach.

on a holiday. And pretty soon the holiday will be overland the boys will go to work. They'll learn to forage for themselves. But how about the girls? Whats going to happen to them? They don't go to work not if the old man has money bags they don't, Well, what are they going to do?"
 Molly laughed.
 Find a forager," she predicted lightly.
 Exactly" agreed Red. And if that ain't hell, what is? It's de- grading, that's what it is Nice girls - and they're brought up to hunt forager! Molly old dear. it's a lucky girl can earn her own living"
 But Molly was growing tired of Reds cynicisms.
 "Oh, don't know" she pro- tested. I'm beginning to lean toward old-fashioned romance. A man who loves his wife wants to support her, It is a privilege, a pleasure, and pride
 Red grimaced. Not only that" he amended impiously, but 'Tis more blessed to give than to re- ceivc.'"
 Tt certainly is" agreed Molly. The pleasure of giving is sweeter than that of receiving and infinitely more beneficial. Take my father and mother. All their lives they've been sacrificing for each other, and they're the happest people I know. Take Jack and me He's generous and noble. And I'm so darn selfish and mercenary-'

 Here" she said. and sobbed.
 Oh, darling.' Jack kissed the tears in her eyes. Wont you wear it, Molly? Somewhere where it won't show, if you'd rather. I'd like to know that it was close to you"
 They chung to each other des- peratcly. And Molly cried because the boy she loved was holding her in his arms. Kissing her tears away. Telling her that their fu- lures lay far apart.
 Molly wiped her eyes
 q forgot to tell you" she said. Red got himself transferred from police court 10 sports. He's written baseball before. Besides, he has drag with the publisher, And he's got himself sent to St. Petersburg, to cover the Braves training camp. You see he wanted to be around. dear while I'm working on the play
 Jack lit a cigaret and said noth- l ing.
 After all.' she pointed out de- fensively, "it was his idea-the play. I mean. If it goes, it will be more to Reds credit than mine.
 You're not jealous of Red honey?"
 "Jealous?" he repeated. well. I reckon everyone in love is more or less jealous, honey" "No, they're not" she affirmed. Psycho- analysts say that jealousy is an indication of an inferiority complex"
 "Yes - and how old are psycho- analySts?" he demanded. "They're ancient fossils whove forgotten all about being young and in love. Maybe they never were in love anyhow. What do they know about it? But I'm not cross dear. And if I'm jealous, it's my own funeral. I hope you and Red hit the bulls | eye. Honest l do.'
 A week later Molly and Red were hard at work. They had left the train at Jacksonville, where they hired a second hand car, and motor ed on to St. Petersburg. The car was theirs for six weeks. They had loitered at St. Augustine, and they stopped in Daytona 10 see the fla nous beach, where a friend of Reds had been killed driving a racing car.
 At St. Augustine, over the ancient walls of the oldest house in Ameri- ca, there grows a money vine, and the legend is that whoever carries a leaf of it will always have wealth. Molly had promised not to write Jack, unless a time should come when she needed his help. But now she put leaves from the cele- brated money vine in an envelope, and sent them to Jack for talis- man.
 I'd lots rather" she told herself have Jack be somebody, than be somebody myself" And at the time she believed she meant it for she was missing him cruelty And Red was not always tactful.
 Any girl that can earn a good living is pretty darn lucky" ob- served Red one day.
 They were at Don Gel Beach watching a group of young people who played at being acrobats. They were strong young things. with beautiful brown bodies, slim and straight and supple.
 Look at 'em.' said Red. "rhe young out of the nest. Rich kids

 'I wish to heaven" he broke off suddenly, that you'd get this crime bug out of your head You can write such darn pretty things. Love stories, I mean. Sweet, romantic stuff. Gee, you cant tell me that doesn't sell, Molly"
 Big names can sell anything" she told him patiently. But anybody can sell crime that can write it pret- ty we'll"
 Well, anyhow" He attacked the subject again determinedly. The point is you want to write and here's your big chance. I was talking with your friend Red Flynn yesterday. He says he has a producer interested. He says you can cash in like a mil lion on all the publicity of the Man dinello trial, and the shooting. l guess he knows what he's talking about. He's talked it over with a lot of big guns. He says you'll go over with a bang. Well. once you find l yourself where you want 10 be, dear a playwright, and all that-that's S going to be something different. You understand don't you?"

 "Well. I won't let you. It would come between us after a while. You 1 know what Longfellow had to say Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these-it might have been.' I guess it's the truth. You'd always be thinking of what might have been, if you hadn't married me-
