PHE TRUCK COWIPMXi VjO T Kg IT well- noumre Twta, I Chapter S3 A NOTE FROM MOIXT All that she could low was lost. Juanlta reflected. The burden that remained fain tnew and foreboding, the black night, terror, love and heartache the river would devour it all. Brown, aluggish waters that never told their secrets. Jaunlta started, opened her eyes. OOabreau, who had often sat beside her bed as she lay IU, had drawn doner to her, was speaking more softly than before. "I know some'p'n else," and as Juanlta looked at him. "Meeater Stanard come to de Tl ion many time. He telephone, too. One day when he come I am in de lobby. wipln' de tiles. He ask where you are and dey tell him you and de marquesa have go away. He say 'Where?' Dey tell him dey not know, but mebby you will coome beck in lit' while. Dey say dey will tell you he call when you come. He say, 'Let me know Instead dat she is here.' He turn 'round, and look at me and say In low voice, 'Do you know where she Is?' Now why he ask me dat?" "I don't know, Gabreau. Perhaps you looked as if you knew. ' Gabreau looked hurt. "I nevalr look like dat way." "What did you say?" she asked "I shek my head, and he go away. X am fool, yes, but all day I am sorry I shek my head." Gabreau !" Jaunlta half rose "You wouldn't tell him where ami" "No. De marquesa here too. not even tell dat. But I am sorry I shek my head. He look so worry and he come so mooch. . , He love you, Juanlta? Yes? ..." And as Juanlta turned her face away to nide the tears, I know he love yoou. An' you love him. You cry his name when de fever burn you. You say too you will go police station and give yo' seff up. You say mooch things, Juanlta but most you cry his name. An' so I know you love him. Dat is mebby why I am sorry I shek my head. I wish mebbe he would find you, and tek you 'way. "He must never find me here." "Why? Eef you are here he can not find you somewheres else. . . , ' "Ho would not understand, Gab reau. I know what he believes of women In places like this. I know what he would believe of me." Gabreau nodded. "I know. Like Flu. But me, I know when I see you. I not know sooch womens like you was in the wort'. I have only know like Fifl. But I know you wnen i see you." "Dear Gabreau!" she said, and laid her hand on his. "But there arc other reasons, too. I must never see him attain, and since I have gone out of his life, I'd rather go without his knowing this." It had grown dark In the room. Oabreau, with her hand on his, did not stir. His eyes were closed, yet lient seemed all around him, strange and holy flame enfolding him. Her hand left his, yet still he seemed to feel It there. Always he wouia reel ic mere. . . He wondered if she still wept. Rhe wept so silently, not like Con chlta's weeping. Presently her voice came. "I'm going down tonight, Gab reau. I'll have to dress." "You go down?" "Yes. Molly's note. I'm better now. And I want to see Molly." When he had gone Juanlta rose, Retting slowly into the black cos tume with Its spangled veil. Slowly she went down the stair, wondering what Molly had to tell her. The parlor doors were Just opening. There was time to go In and see Molly now. Conchlta came out as Juanlta knocked on Molly's door. Juanlta saw Dlvitt sitting In the dim room beside Molly's bed. He looked up and, seeing Juanita. ' made a dismissing gesture, bis head. "She too sick now," Conchlta whispered, "Tomorrow, mebbe." Juanlta, went Into the parlors. Not many were there. The crowd! was not the same. She and Gab-1 reau were like ghosts revisiting changed scene. At ten o'clock Con chlta appeared In the parlor door, signaled to Juanlta. "Molly. She ask for you again. I conchlta was sobbing as they went I through the court. "Many time she J have ask fer you. Dlvitt say no. I But now anything she say." Dlvitt stood by tne window, nisi back to the bed. Molly lay white I and small on the great pillow. Her I eyes were closed. Conchlta went to her side. "Juanita have come, bebby. , Conchita's caressing words A faint movement of Molly's eye lids. Juanlta drew nearer the bed as Conchlta beckoned and made room I for her at Molly's side. Juanlta bent over the bed. "Mol-1 ly," she whispered. Molly's blue eyes onened slowly. Something like a smile vanished I from her face. She tried to lift herl head. Her lips moved. Molly lifted a hand, pointed. Con chlta and Jaunlta looked question-1 Ingly around tne room. Jaunlta leaned closer. "What is i it, Molly?" Such trouble In the great bluel eyes. Molly pointed to the old bu-1 reau. Juanlta glanced about. Con- chita touched a drawer. Molly shook I her head. Conchlta touched thel second drawer. The third. Mol-I ly smiled. Conchlta opened the third drawer. I A white silk shawl, embroidered In I whiter roses. Conchlta took the I shawl out, held It up that Molly I might see. But Molly did not see. Rain falling In the court. Rain all day, all night. Breaking clouds. A filter of sunlight. More rain. Somehow the parlors went on. Still Juanita, veiled and silent, moved about In the changed crowd. The little note from Molly Molly's last message to her had begged that she return. Molly had wanted to say more but all she had had time to convey was her wish about the shawl. Conchlta knew already what Molly wanted with the shawl. having heard her say. But appar ently Molly desired that Juanlta should know too. Together they had folded it about her as she lay asleep, Molly looking all seraph at the last. Juanita knew now that she would stay until the end, since Molly had wished It. But the end was not far. There was a new chief of police. Places like Dlvitt's were being closed dally under his regime. This would not happen to Dlvitt's unless It happened soon. The parlors would die of them selves, now that Molly was gone. Dlvitt's heart was not In them. He had come in but once In the five days since Molly died. If they re vived it would be in the form of Dlvitt's Dive. Dlvitt would not need her Juanlta then. He had said nothing about her going again with the marquesa. Now that he knew she was aware of the role in which he had cast her, he had said no more. Release would come to her in some way before long. Dlvitt, if she knew him well would pay her for her services in the parlors. She would go far away, even as Kirk thought already that she nad gone. Rain falling all day, all night filter of star light. More rain. The marquesa sat in her room listening to Its drone on tiie bat cony, its drip from the eaves. Dl vitt would not let her go down Into the parlors. Dlvitt would not let her go out Into the town.
