 to give anyone the willies."
 But I have to! I won't go out and talk to those reporters! I won't go out and have them taking pictures of me. I wouldn't mind, Chris, if it was going to do any good but how can it? How can it 1 get Mark back to me? I'm afraid | it's going to make it harder!" Bob doesn't think so. There's an editorial in the Press tonight. Did you see ?"
 "No."
 Chris rummaged through the | newspaper, folding the pages back. Here it is. At the top of the col umn. The heading is Sensational Charges and below it says, The sensational charge of Miss Norma Travers that she was convicted of a vice charge on evidence deliber- ately manufactured by police in- vestigators is one of the most seri- ous that has faced the city admin istration. Coupled with District At. torney Flynn's announcement that he can produce names of half dozen other young women similar ly convicted and the district attor- ney's dark hints at corruption in the municipal courts the matter calls for thorough and immediate investigation. If the district attor- ney has this information 1t is his duty to present it."
 | There was more and Chris read the entire column. Bob says there's going to be an investiga- tion," she said as she put the newspaper down. "4e says Flynn's sure of it."
 But, Chris, I don't care about all that. I-I want Mark!'
 "Of course you do. darling. You're going to get him back"
 Has Bob heard any more? Where did you See him? ?"
 He dropped in at the office a. little before closing time. He's been at the welfare department office a couple of times and told them he's your lawyer. All he Investigator has to be conducted carefully and that the final report hasn't been made yet"
 q can't stand 1t. Chris! I can't stand it much longer!"
 The older girl was so worried that a little later she slipped down stairs and made a telephone call. Next morning she announced she was not going to the office.
 Its all right" she assured Norma. ''They aren't expecting me. Besides if I stay away a few days they'll appreciate me more when I'm there. You and l are going out of town for the week end"
 "Chris-!"
 "Now don't say anything! You might just as well spare yourself the breath. We're going to take a run down to Rosebriar over the week end. Honestly I need the rest, Norma and I won't go without lyou."
 Norma said steadily. "You can't
 fool me. You're doing this because
 of me"
 Well, what if I am? I'm doing
 it for myself too. Don't you want to get away for couple of days of peace and quiet? Don't you want
 to get away from those reporters
 You've given your story and
 there's nothing more for you to
 tell them. Anyhow I called MT
 Flynn last night and he said we
 should go."
 But it will be expensive" "I've got the money. Now snar into it, Norma! Let's see if we can . catch the 9:30 train" The weekend at RosebriaI proved a blessed interlude. It was a small place, popular as a resort
 because 1t was on a lake and be- cause there were two excellent ho- tels. Out of season the rates were
 not high. There were few guests
 at the Rosebriar inn where the two girls stopped. Norma and Chris slept late, took long walks and : spent two lazy afternoons doing
 nothing but gazing out at the dazzling blue of the water. They did not even read the Sunday news 1 papers.
 \ They took the last train back to | Marlboro and arrived at the apart | ment a little after 8 D. m. Fas- | tened in the door were several \ memorandums to call Bob Farrell | Norma telephoned and Bob's | voice came back to her. "Ill be right over. Lots of things to tell | you"
 \ He was there within half all hour. Bob congratulated Norma or | her rested and improved appear ance and then launched the big news.
 "There's been plenty of excite ment the last few days" Farrell said. "Did you see the papers? Noi Well, then, there's lot for you tc hear. Things have been happening! There's going to be an investiga' tion-that's the main thing. Yes | the governor got busy and put on the pressure. Wellington's beer named to take charge. Oh he's
 square! Wonderful lawyer. There's been about a dozen more cases 1T the newspapers too. A lot of girl'
