Six days before she had given him a pretty plain warning to keep out of this Barry no longer had any doubt of that lie had decided to do so and then Willetts had reminded him that gentlemen didn’t “abandon ladles In distress" Well what was a gentleman to do now? "Damn It” he raged ”1 can’t blamo her for wanting to protect her own And It doesn’t make the least father! difference anyway I’d go on loving her If she’d committed the murder!” Once more he asked himself what right he had to assume that either Pat or the Judge had anything to do with that murder Pacing the floor he reviewed all his evidence again and reached a conclusion aa to what It dicated That brought him back to the idea of himself as Pat’s ally “If I can make her see that” he said “She’s got to come clean though And she will When I can tell her about I’eggy and make her understand that the truth will clear that boy And then we can get together to clear the There might have been a Judge whole lot of reasons — decent ones— for his going to Kelly’s that night" Evans phoned at ten “I’ve been having dinner with Kelly’s chauffeur Ills name's Nolan" Evans said “and he don’t talk much We got pretty thick tonight though" “Suppose we start for home at nine In the morning” Barry said lie was hungry and tired of thinking so he had a snack at the corner Precisely at nine the next morning he called Pat and told her he was “Something coming Important's happened" he said “Why not lunch with us?” Pat suggested “We’re lucky If we get out by two" BarryTold her “And any w ay I want to see you alone" "I’ll expect you at two” she said Evans was waiting and full of his “I didn’t dare evening with Nolan ask a question" Evans repoxbd “He’s the suspicious kind I think he drinks though and a fellow that drinks la bound to loosen up some day” "Buy him all he can hold” Barry —— counseled Conversation lapsed after that Evans’ passeDger was rehearsing his part of the coming Interview “I’ll bet she knows now what It's about” he speculated And she did "Come In” I’at Invited leading the way to the drawhlg room Pat Indicated a chair “Sit there" she bade him Tt'a awfully warm— for June" v NJttv&sgSs No for gay little cotton for older sister and the Is nt hand and nothing could be simpler than tills darling dross— so easy to make —so comfortable for nimble dears — and so smart to wear The French bodice effect and butare cunning details toned panel which all little fnaldens love especially the flared skirt because It profor playtime vides ample freedom Decorative features are hidden In the contrasting collnr trimmed with rufand brief puff sleeves fled edging The material may be a printed perIf It la cale lawn linen or gingham made In a plaid or checked gingham you can omit the ruffled edging from The time prints both younger set “That's my number and my name and address If you want me” "There's your fifty dollars" tob£ mmuED) —— Distinctive Residence ACE YOU AU RIGHT motue?
