The photographer grinned unfceI- ingly. Sure they do. Why wouldn't they?' Then, seeing her evident dis trcss, he relcnted. You were so cocksure of yourself Sister. I let you strut your stuff. Now I'll show you the ropes"
 He hailed a taxi, explaining so he helped her in. "TaXis don't 90 so hot on the old swindle sheet. but II We want to grab a factory crowd doing the noon hour, We haven't any time to lose.

 It was, after all, the simplest | thing to do But Molly felt very uncomfortable about it. TO protect the photographer, who had d weak ness for shooting crap and liked to steal an hour or so. she was obliged 10 waste that amount of time every day. To case her conscience. she l devoted her time to observant little i strolls along the water front, or l through the Public Gardens, and along the Common.

had some rather haEy notions of writing d book. Something about d Woman's Soul. She thought of Love as Flaming Passion that suftused humdrum lives. And she envisaged women Gs creatures made for either pain or love.
 Cnrcquited affection was the curse. she decided, of the unloved ssterhood And inc blcssedness of being beloved was. of all things, the sweetest and most satisfying
 Molly thought snc was learning great deal about life. She had studied, in college Pope's Essay on Man" and she remembered the quotation, proclaimed by the pro- lessor of English literature; The proper study Of mankind is man." It Was a pleasant study, and Molly was an earnest student.
 The lnquiring Reporter column had not lasted very long. and for that Molly was devoutly thankful The first question she propounded was this: should an aviator, when he is married, give mp hazardous flying ?'
 The first person she Gpproa ,hed was portly gentleman. who hap pened to be very deaf Curious 1 passcrsby stopped 10 listen. and presently Molly and the deaf gen. l tIeman Were the center of an amused group.
 After that Molly tried a young i girl, who declared her mother would have d lit if she posed fol the newspapers. Then youth who apparently had never heard of the 1 lnquiring Reporter, He seemed not particularly interested in avia- tors and their wives but tried to make date with Molly.
 Finally utterly di"couragcd. she called the photographer. who loitered across the street while she maneuvered for victims.
 T never felt so silly in my life ? she lamented. Someone's going tc call policeman. and have me sen to the psychopathic. They all think I'm crazy.'

came on the day she was assigned to cover d murder trial.
New Britain herald., 1929-07-27
NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1929.

Molly went to the reference room (the morgue, they called it. in news paper parlance) and studied pie lures of Bernice and the artist. The girl was lovely in a wild flower sort of way. Tempestuous, with daring eyes, and willful lips, and a mad smile.
 Lionel Barrows had narrow mouth, and a thin face. His fore head was high. and he wore his hair rather long, in the fashion of a poet. He had the wide eyes of dreamer and beautiful roman nose. IL was impossible, Molly thought, to imagine him com- hitting murder.
 After all" she reflected, you never can tell"
 And that night she made many observations in her notebook. A story was shaping itself in her mind. The story of a woman who died for love. In imagination Molly could create the woman. And the man worth dying for would be a man like Jack. She could fashion the characte she knew. Perhaps the trial of Barrows would furnish the plot.
 On Sunday. cleaning out her dressing table drawer. Molly came upon the little verse she had torn from a newspaper the day she was graduated from college. It was some time since she had seen it. and she read it aloud
 "A girl she had her hope and But Fate was thwarted by glance A look that set her heart afire. | So genius died, for warm desire. ] Yet still the phantom visions glow Although a world will never know ! The Shining Talent that was deac So soon as that bright soul wa!

 A dull and stodgy wife is she.
 And dark the flame that used 10 be i But always come to torture her The dreams of things that nevel were.

 Later as she was hurrying tt the corner for jar of cream fo coffee, she met messenger with special delivery for her. Jack pu a special stamp on his Saturda. letters. so she might always hea from him on Sundays. There wer some boys coming out from tn office for Welsh rarebit that night and Molly thrust the letter in he bag, She would open it later. was so nice 10 read Jacks letter leisurelY He wrote the sweete letters in the world. she thought.

Molly was doing an occasional 4. theatrical interview now. Once she a met celebrated French actress who % was married 10 an American pro ., ducer.
