* CHAPTER XI
JOHNNY REGAN could hardly
" believe what Molly Travers
was savins.
“You just remembered that you
left the cameo in the dressing
* room!'* he repealed after her.
“How could you forget it it it
meant as much to you as you
said it did'*"
Molly reached over and put her
hand on his arm as if trying to
quiet him. “Don't lie cross. John-
ny. I’ve been afraid to tell you.
That's why I went off to Dennis.
4 I guess. . . .”
Johnny lifted her hand away.
He didn't want to be confused by
any contact with her. He wanted
to think cleirly.
“Am I to take that as meaning
* you were just putting on an act?
You've known for some time that
the cameo was lost?” He was
almost shouting.
Molly began to weep softly.
“Oh. Johnny you make me feel
perfectly terrible. I'll buy an-
other one. or pay her for it. I’ll
have a job and I’ll work awfully
hard "
She came to him put her arms
•round him in a gesture he knew'
so well. He threw her away from
him. and buried hia face in his
hands.
“And Jean had decided to give
it to us for a wedding gift” he
said to himself rather than to her.
“Why. Johnny why didn't you
sav so?” Molly exclaimed happily.
“Then it was mine all the time.
That makes it all right can’t you
sec?”
That was Molly’s reasoning all
1 right. She was so damnably logi-
cal when it came to seeing things
her way.
“She need never know it’s lost.
I’ll thank her for it. and she won’t
• see it any more.’ Why nobody
ever complains w'hen you lose
something that’s your own . . .”
she hurried on trying to make
him understand.
“It wasn’t yours when you lost
It. and I'd planned to give it back
anyway. You were supposed to
be marrying me. not the cameo
And now that the marriage is
‘postponed’ you'll have to tell
Jean Reynolds right away that
you've lost the most valuable
* piece of jewelry you ever laid
your hands on.”
Molly drew' herself up to her
full height. She was ice. hard
and frozen Ice. Her voice chilled
* Johnny.
1 "I said our marriage was 'post-
poned.’ If I explain everything
to Jean Reynolds it s indefinitely
postponed. Do you understand?” j
“You’ll explain. I'm not going
to get you out of this jam.” He
spoke evenly as he always did i
when really angry. “As for our
marriage. Something tells me that
was about as empty a promise as
all the rest of your pretenses.”
He turned away from her and
went down the walk. He had to
think. He must tell Jean the
truth. Fie knew Molly didn’t in-
tend to.
Molly called after him. but he
didn't answer. He heard her laugh
softly as if to say “He'll be
bark.” The screen door slammed
i after her.
• • •
IXALFWAY up Rutherford street
toward the Meltons' another
idea struck Johnny. Why not go
I down to the theater and look
' around? The cameo might be re-
paired if he could find it.
Johnny threaded his way care-
fully through the ruins until he
| found the charred skeleton of a
I staircase. The acrid smell of wet
burned timber stung his nostrils.
He jumped down into the base-
ment.
He recognized Molly Travers’
dressing room witnout difficulty.
Mrs. Lyons' gray muslin scorched
a little lay under two fallen
beams. He knelt down and ex-
i amined the dress carefully. Even
j the black jet buttons were intact j
he noticed exultantly.
But the cameo was not there.
His hands trembled as he searched
the neck of the dress. Suppose |
1 someone had taken it! Perhaps
! Molly was mistaken when she said i
the cameo was on the dress.
Johnny found the dressing
; table overturned and half hidden
by charred piles. He opened one
of the drawers. A make-up kit
was there the sticks unmelted
the little plaits of hair unsinged.
But there was no cameo. He
found Molly's purse with 60 cent."'
in small change. If anybody had
I robbed the dressing room money
! would have disappeared first.
Had Molly lied to him?
* * •
IIE must know before he told
Jean. He stuffed her pocket-
book in his blouse and for the
; third time that day found him-
! self at 43 Cottage street asking
for Miss Travers.
“I thought you'd come back and
apologize” Molly said when she
saw him. “I'm terribly hurt that
you’d think so badly of me.”
“How about your conscience’
Was it hurt enough to call Jean?"
“Oh darling" Molly was exas-|
pirated "you're still mad aren't
you? I don't think it's necessary
to tell her since she'd given the
brooch to us. If you think she
has to know you ought to tell
her yourself.”
"That's your story and you're
sticking to it” Johnny sa d calm-
ly. "But I've been down to the
theater ...”
Molly intemip4ed with laugh-
ter. “Which theater? Ours burned
last night.”
"E\er hear of a fire sale?”
Johnny asked. "Salvaged goods?”
"What are you talking about
now Johnny Regan?” Johnny
thought he detected alarm in her
tone. "You didn't have a monop-
oly on any salvaging you know
if any was done. Those Portu-
guese . . ."
But Johnny was ready for her.
"They'd have taken this first
don't you think?” He threw the
purse in her lap.
Johnny waited for her to reply
but silence hung between them
like a screen. "If you haven't
anything to say I'm going to Jean
Reynolds and tell her what has
happened. Unless you tell the
truth. I'll believe you gave the
cameo to Masters in exchange for
that contract.”
Molly stared at him incredu-
lously. Then the began to sob.
"Oh Johnny you make me
sound like a thief. And I <|idn't
mean to be really I didn t. I
knew Jean would give you the
cameo and that it was ours. Mas-
ters is nuts about old jewelry
and it seemed so simple. . . . And
now that I have the contract I
can pay her for it really I can.”
Johnny looked at her. She
wasn’t acting now; she was
scared. She clung to him. sob-
bing. “What will they do to me
Johnny? What will they do?
Please don't leave me! I didn't
realize what I was doing can’t
you see I didn't?”
Johnny believed her. He felt
sorry for her. but beyond that he
had no desire to help her. What
love he had felt for her had been
stripped from him. He was no
longer under her spell.
"I'm going back to Jean.” John-
nv said quietly. "If you don't tell
her the truth. I'm going to. What
happens to you is entirely up to
her. Personally. I don't care.”
He ran up the street to the
Meltons’. As he rushed into the
house he collided with Andre
Masters.
“What are you doing here?”
Johnny demanded.
But Masters didn't answer.
Johnny saw him go toward Cot-
tage street. Was he going to have
it out with Molly too?

The extent of this effectiveness de-

Not necessarily how large but where
how obtained and other facts that the

our advertisers this information we be-
long to the Audit Bureau of Circulations
a nationalcooperative association of 2000

This audited information is then issued in
A. B. C. reports which show how many
