CHAPTER Ill

Duane Winfield greeted Molly with
a smile as she came in.
He decided that his best policy
would be to tell the truth-that Mrs.
Parker had lied to her solely to keep
Tom Austin away from their crowd.
"Look here, Mr.. Winfield" Molly
said, not stopping to return his polite
greeting, nor to sit in the chair he
showed forward, "what do you mean
by going around telling that you will
kill Tom Austin?"
"Now-now, my dear, please"
"And never mind calling me dear.
Tom was sorry that he lost his tenn
per, but it was all your fault, Flo told
me = you put liquor in my lemon
ade and"
"Tut-tut, wait just moment. In
the first place, it isn't true that ever
threatened to kill Austin or to harm
him."
ct know that it is true. I was told
by the person you told"
81 repeat, 1 never made any such
a threat, never thought of such a
thing, never even threatened to harm
this Austin"
" This Austin that's the way you
speak of Tom-you aren't fit to shine
his shoes, and as for harming him,
you haven't the nerve to face blind
cripple, but you are the sort to do just
as you said you would do-hire some
gangster to shoot Tom"
eff you will listen, I think I can
convince you that I am telling the
truth" Winfield was becoming ner-
vous by this time.
81 didn't come here to discuss your
honestly know you made the
threats, and I came to tell you that
if anything happens to Tom Austin I'll
shoot you on sight-if I have to chase
you around the world"
Molly was half crying by this time.
81 knew that you were coming here.
Flo Parker telephoned to me few
minutes ago. can prove it. She
tried to keep you from coming here.
She told you I was out-over at the
Glidden estate, and when you said
you would come here and wait for me
she telephoned."
"She might have done that-to
warn you."
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-06-21

"No, to tip me. She confessed that
she had told you that awfully silly
yarn to brighten you"
81 don't believe it," Molly cried
81 don't believe Flo Parker would lie
to me-"
"She said her idea was that you
would be more careful, you would see
to it that Tom never knew when you
were out on one Of our parties-you
bet I bawled her out for telling such
a crazy thing"
GAS if I intended ever to go to any
more of your parties. They're not my
sort and you aren't my sort and Tom
was right about you: So just take
my warning, Mr.. Winfield"
eff Flo Parker didn't call me and
tell me just now, how did know that
she told you I was over at the Gid
den estate"
Molly hesitated.
There was something queer about
all of this.
Winfield had rudely seated himself
when Molly refused chair. He grin
ned up at her from behind the i'm
mense carved desk table. Then he be-
gan to write hastily on a pad.
Fanny Lang, furiously jealous, had
come softly from the little room and
was peering through the portieres at
them.
She frowned, wondering what Win
field could be writing.
81 am going straight back to Flo
Parker and ask her." Molly said, in a
low voice.
This made Fanny Lang more jeal-
Gus than never. The way Molly spoke
in lowered voice caused her to think
that the loud talk had been bluff and
that the two were planning something.
go by all means-and here"
Winfield stood up and folded the slip
of paper which he handed to Molly,
"give this to Mrs. Parker. 1t is a
line from me demanding that she tell
the truth and admit that she was try
ing to throw a scare into you."
Molly took the paper and tucked it
into her handbag.
$50 much nonsense and trouble out
of harmless little incident" Winfield
complained, "and it would be so easy
to put a wrong construction on our
friendship"
81 am not friendly with you,
didn't want to be-" Molly said, acidly.
81 mean our friendship with Flo
and Fan-just pair of good scouts
who like good time-we've been pals
for years. Some evil-minded fools
might go and do lot of talking about
it."
"Flo and Fanny are all right, y
Molly defended, loyalty. "And if you
are limiting to me not to talk, don't
waste your breath. wouldn't talk,
neither would Tom. And I still don't
believe that Flo Parker would tell me
