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. She and
