"I'm not putting on an act!" pro tested Molly. "I'm telling you the truth." Du rbin grinned happily. "It's good ituff anyhow," he ap proved. "Give it to the reporters. They'll eat it up."

''We'll giT a benpfit mtineet and we'll turn the theater oTer to the clubwomen. Ihat will mean we ll have their en dorse men t. And the censors won't have a leg to stand on, if the moth ers of young girls approve our show. "Then we U hare an invitation per formance for clergymen.

It doesn't make any dif ference whether they pan us or not. We get the advertising anyhow, and it's publicity that money can't buy." The little producer smiled happily. "You're a lucky girl, Molly, he pronounced. "Only you don't know it." "Lucky," she thought, "with the cennors calling me names and Jack down front with a woman!" She smiled politely, and admitted that maybe he was right. Only she couldn't see it, not for a minute. The next day, anxious to avoid re porters, Molly hurried back to Bos ton.

"Oh, hello, darling. How are you.'" "I'se alt wiirht." . . . Such a flut- tery, street little voice, with inflec tions like the trilling of a bird! The child of her own accord, called Molly "mama." At first Molly thought she ought not allow it. It seemed like robbing Rita of aome thin? that belonged to her. But. afti all, you can t rob a dead wom an. Upsides, rut a woumn t mina. one wanted really wanted her child to belong to Molly. It wjis a little word and it was beginning to mean more to Molly than any sound in the world. Her first night home ahe per mitted Rita to stay up late. For a special treat, they had their evening meal together in the drawing room. Rita bad cambric tea. and there was ice cream for dessert Later Rob dropped in. He greeted his daughter affectionstely, and seemed surprised at finding Molly there.

"Don't pull that stuff on me." he admonished. "You may be a simon- pure maiden to all the yokeia in Hiiodgrass, but you're a darn smart young woman to me, i flat airr s going to make yon a pretry penny, isn't it?" T suppose g, jibe conceded, "Well? That doesn't make yon sore, does it?" t was on tfie up or ner tongue to retort that ahe would need sev eral pretty pennies to raise bis dsughter. ut that would be stupid and pointless. If tiey quarreled. Rrtb might take the child away. And that, she felt, would break ber heart. It wai not until little Rita had kissed them goodnight, and gnne to her fairy-tale bed, that Elsie Smith's name enured tbe conversation.
