The telephone rang, but she scarcely heard it aa she scanned sheet after sheet And It rang, and rang. "Boaton Is calling, Miss Burn ham," the operator told her. "Mr. George Flynn." .For interminable minutes she held the line. What should she say to him? What muet be think of her? "Moily, this la Red. Wiat'a it all about, MoUy?" "Oh, Bed, it's terrible! They say we're engaged!" . "Yeah. I know. The office had flash." 'But Red. I never said arv Ton know I didn't. How could I? I've just this Becond seen the papers. Heavens, I don t know what to do!

"lou act, she informed him Icily, "as if I'd simply ruined your reputa tion. Well, you needn't worry. I wouldn't marry you. Red. if you were the last man on eartn." "I know it, Molly," he acknowl edged humbly. "But you don't un derstand how things are, girlie. Listen I'm writing you now. I'll ?:et it on the air mail. Tou'U have t first thing in the morning. Will you get those news hounds to lay otr, till you ve Heard trom me t it means a lot to me, dear." "I don't know what you're talking about" she declared, mystified. "But I'll deny the engagement over the radio, it it better. "Done do anything, he besought "until you get my letter. I can't talk over the phone." "All right," she promised. There were reporters in the lobby, waiting for her. Bdt she sailed by them frigidly. "I've nothing tow Bay," she an nounced coolly, "I was misquoted this morning, and I ahall not give any more interviews of a peraonal nature." "Mr. Durbin says yoor fiance's name is WellB," broke in one of the men. "Do you wish to deny the ru mor of your engagement to Mr. Flynn?" 'I'll not deny anything." "Then you are engaged to Mr. Flynn?" Molly colored angrily. She knew their methods so well. . "Please," she begged them. "We're all newspaper people. Can't you lay off for a little while? I'll give you all the stories you want about the play. And maybe I can give you a romance story later. But not now. And please don't deny anything. Just kill it" "Will yon pose for some more pictures?'1 they clamored. "If you'll promise to do aa I ask, she bargained. i They went back to her room, and Molly put on various hats for them. She even changed to- the green gown she had worn the night before. "That'a a lovely one you had on," remarked a girl. "I suppose yon get all your frocks in Paris, Miss Burn ham?" Molly laughed. "I've never been to Paris, or any where," she declared. And then, her eyes sparkMng, she cried, "But I'm She'd run away, she decided Im pulsively, from everything. From Snodgrass and her mother. From Bneton and Red. Tea from New York even and Jack. "Ill have plenty of money," she was planning happily. "And I've been working so hsrd, I really need a rest Besides, when I come back, they'll all be glad to see me mother and Jack and everybody." And that afternoon she made re servations to sail for Naples on the Conte Biancamano. Tt, ne.t dav Red'a letter came. And also a note from the dean at college, who had advised her not to try to combine marriage with a ca reer. The dean wondered politely If Miss Burnham would be kind enough to return for commencement to speak to the graduating claas. There was a letter, too, from Rita, begging Molly to go to see her. Rita was ill, snd worried. She hadn't been herself since the baby was born. Be sides, Molly had never seen her little daughter. She was the loveliest baby in the world. Having a child waa quite as satisfying as having a ca reer, declared Rita. But she wss overjoyed for Molly, and ao proud of her success. ' "I'll run tip to Boston tovlslt Rita and go to commencement" de cided Molly. "There'll be plenty of time before I sail." She had saved Red's letter until the last Now she opened It slowly, fearful of what it might tell her. (To Ba Continued) 4 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Agnes Mathes to Willie C.

'Gee I The wind Is blowing mighty hard. A real cyclone, I fear. Jnst lis ten to It's roaring sound, We'd better flop down on the ground. I wish that all the other circus folks were also here." Then Carpy said, "Oh, they're all right I ssw them disappear from sight Inside a circus wagon. They are better off, by far, than we are out here 'neath this tree. Bay, I'm frightened as can be. I wish we all could reach out bunks, dowa tn the drcna ear." "Oh, no," cried Coppy. "Donl try that. We're safer if we just lay flat. The wind will blow right o'ar our heads and leave us all alons. I've heard a cyclone'a alwaya mean, but one like this I've never seen. You'd think the wind was really mad at as, to bear It gsoan." By now much dust waa all around. It seemed to blp up from the ground and form Into a circle ere It started on Its way. Twouid swoop down low, and shoot up high, as 1 to blacken all can do when It darts out to play.

Iion't try to run 'cause it's no use. iV we can do Is wait Twill do no god to start a fuse." And then, amid a andden roar, the canvas sweeped and caught the four and lifted them light off the ground and ssiled up In the air. "We're on a trip!" one 'liny cried. "Or else we're on another ride. So far we're safe I only hop this canvaa doesn't tear. (Read th Story, Thin Color the PMuraJ (Something startnno happen la the next alary) (Copyright, 1929, NtA Oerrlc. Inc.) ..
