come to Beebe, knowing
how she felt, and put his
arms around her, and kissed
her, and swore , he'd go
straight because of her.
Then Beebe had been too
happy to speak. She
dreamed of a home and
peace and happy years
ahead.
Ironically, it was that
same night that Bobby
Doyle was picked up
charged with murder. One
Of the Wilkes mob had done
it., no doubt of that. Bobby's
alibi had been twisted and
flung aside; and on the
thread of a frail web Of cir
cumstances, his case was
hurried through to convic-
ton. Bobby Doyle had been
framed.
y Beebe had seen him once

The Washington times., 1929-04-26

of a perfect hiding place for
Bobby, near his own place,
for a few weeks until the
first hue-and-cry had died
away.
Encouraging News
For the hundredth time
Beebe went to the window,
pulled back the curtain and
looked out. The roar of
the city came up to her
family. Cars and trucks
ratified along, and passersby
moved briskly past.
Beebe turned back to see
Mary sitting there on the
hollowed-out sofa, her hands
in her lap, helpless and
brooding look in her eyes.
She was sorry for Mary
then, and yet she knew that
she herself was bearing the
real burden of this ordeal.
Bobby, for whom her heart
ached, was a fugitive from
the police, and she thought
that if he were recaptured,
she would die. Her lips
moved soundlessly in a
prayer.
There was no sound in
the hslf-gaudy, half-shabby
little room except the
breathing Of the two girls,
and the loud, monotonous
ticking Of the old-fashioned
clock on the shelf.
Half an hour later, there
was a nervous knock on the
door. Beebe started. But
it was only Johnny. The
little rug-addict was in
high spirits. 1t was plain
enough he had only recently.
had a "shot."
Beebe looked at him in
quiringly with parted lips.
The Washington times., 1929-04-26

But she wouldn t give up.
And in the end she found
some one who was ready
and willing to help her.
This was Johnny the Hop,
as they called him, half beg
gar and half thief, a pasty-
faced little dope fiend whom
Bobby had befriended once,
and who still remembered.
1t was Johnny, with his
cunning, and the false cour-
age of drugs, who had
managed to smuggle in the
saws. No one suspected
him with his thin, wasted
body and sunken eyes.
Urged by Beebe, encouraged
by her, he had done what
she had asked.
But Beebe had known
what it was that Bobby
Doyle would do, where he
would head for, if he lived.
He would come to her here,
straight as an arrow, to see
her once, knowing, too, that
she would be ready with
help after that.
She had arranged every
thing. The sofa in her
apartment had even been
followed ont. There were
air holes in it. A man
could hide there easily
enough. But of course he
couldn't stay in this apart
ment. The police undoubt-
edly would watch her house,
even though they would
scarcely expect Bobby to
take such a desperate
chance.
Beebe counted on that.
She had talked it over with
Mary and with Johnny, too.
Johnny spoke mysteriously
The Washington times., 1929-04-26

her eyes blurring her vision
so that she c1uld hardly
see him.
From that moment Beebe
had not rested. She had
bent all her energies, all
her hopes on getting Bobby
free. The doors of respect
able people were closed to
her. She had to go for help
to that same world which
she had tried to make Bobby
leave-too late.
She had gone to the
leader. Don Wilkes. He had
been generous. insisted on
paying over TO: her and Mary
such money as he said still
was due to Bobby. Without
it, Beebe would have been
helpless. =.--
But, though he was sym
pathetic, Don Wilkes could
do nothing else. ~-

ment. She had had the
swift moment of jubilation
when she had read the news,
and since, nothing but black
dread. She prayed that
they wouldn t recapture him.
Mary Doyle was staying
with her. Mary was Bob
by's sister, a slight, fragile
looking girl who plainly
showed that she was suffer
ing from the strain.
It was Beebe braver
spirit that had fortified her,
just as it was Beebe's de-
termination and ingenuity
that had carried the whole
thing through.
Beebe glowed with vital
ity. There was nothing
small or weak or helpless
in her makeup. She was
lovely, and not even her in
expensive clothes 'ould hide
the grace of her figure, the
viyidness of her face.
She had been in the
chorus Of a musical sshow,
when she had met Mary
Doyle, and through her,
Bobby. After that nothing
seemed to matter except
Bobby. She was in love and
suffered because she knew
that Bobby was.

"The cops is half crazy"
he said jubilantly. "They
made half a dozen arrests
in the northern part Of the
State-and had to turn 'em
all loose. -
"Johnnyl Will he get

burst from Beebe's lips like
a cry of anguish.
"Sure, he will. The hard

His face looked strangely

They were all high-strung
that night, tense with anx-
iety. It was Johnny who
suggested a game Of pinochle
in the hope of taking their
minds off their problem.
Before Beebe Barrett

table, she took one final
