 "Not hide nor hair of him. guess he's ditchcd you" he tolc her unfeelingly. Serves yot right, Molly. getting yourself ell. gagged to an Arab like Newton."

Stories of Molly Burnham's Ro- nance" Assuming that the book was autobiograph:cal, they inter- preted it as a message to Bob.
 It was a good story. Full of heart throbs. The re-write men did not know that it was not true. There was Molly's book. from which to quote. And there were certain facts. They put two and two together.
 News was scarce, and a good TO- nance is almost IS good as q mur- der, any day. Besides, it is not often there is such a chance for an attractive layout as Molly's pictures furnished. Molly takes a very good picture. and she had been photo graphed by the best portrait photog- raphers in the country. There were pictures, too, of Rita. She is delightful child, and has been photographed oftener, probably than any child outside of the movies.
 Considering all things then. the news editors can scarcely be blamed for plugging the story fol all it was worth. On the second day, the stories were more com plete than on the first. They traced Molly's phenomenal success iron college days. And they recounteo the shooting of Dopey Dan iron beginning to end The stories ot Molly's plays were told and re-told And Ashes Of Desire was reviewed in five-column spread. Red Flynn read the first editions And when he had finished lie sen Molly a telegram.
 It was addr ess4d 10 Mrs. William Blake, LenoX, Mass. And it read NY SCHEME ALL WET SFOl B. ON RAMPAGE STOP SUCCESS, RETURN AT ONCE TO PACIt'1 HIM STOP NO WORD FROM J STOP GUESS HE WENT BACf TO NEW YORK;"
 When Molly received this crypt message, she threw discretion t. the winds and telephoned Red a the police court.
 whats Bob 'amping about? she demanded. "Is he furious be cause I took Rita away
 That's some of it, admltte Red. "The telephone no place 10 condolences, old thing. Come o home, and I'll tell you.'
 "Is he drinking?"
 q don't know. The truth K Molly ." Red hesitated.
 "Yes?" she prompted. What happened? Hurry up and tell mt I'm imagining the most aWtt things"
 Wait till I close the door, h admonished. The walls have ear around this dump. Can you hea me all right, Molly?"
 "Of course I can hear you. fc heavens sake, Red, don't be ilk trat."
