START THIS STORY TODAY
RUTH understood now exactly what
hnd happened thnt night, but Umt
'she did not understand was what this
man knew nbout Kltii that he could
threaten her with and apparently Rita
did not Intend to tell. Until could not
help feeling hard toward Itlta for with
holding her confidence. She had Im
agined that her friendship might hnvc
meant that much to the other givl.
Hut (something rose up in Ruth's heart,
a certain fierce pride that prevented her
from trlng to coat the mystery out of
Rita. Something, too, In Ruth's make
up made her resolve to help Rita in her
difficulty, whether it was right or not.
"All right, we'll take the trunk."
Rita started up. "You will, oh, you
darling!"
"Do jott want in to keep It until
you send for it?"
"Yes, I'll write you as soon as 1
know where we'll he."
v In spite of the fact thnt Ruth had
decided to do this, she felt differently
toward Rita. A certain restraint had
sprung up between the two gins.
Neither acted naturally. Kutn urn not
trust Rita, and Rita knew it.
Rita sprang up. caught up her gloves
and her little sable stole and flung her
coat over her arm. Then she took her
traveling bag and stood a minute be
fore Ruth. The two girls, who hnd
been such great friends, stood wavering
on the brink of that friendship. Here
was something final and big iu the min
ute that both aguely felt.
Rita, whatever, may have been her
feelings at thnt moment covered them
with a light flippancy.
"Well, good-by, and thank you,
Ruth." Her oWo grew deeper here.
"I do appreciate it; take good care of
it, will j ou?"
The tiuiik was what Ritn was wor
ried about, not the fact that she would
probably never come back, that Ruth
would never see her again. A queer lit -tie
cold feeling ciept up around her
heart, and then she felt Rita pressing
the key of the apartment into her hand.
"You'd better not lose any time about
it, and lock the door after 5 on have
the trunk safely on jour side, and
whatcier jou do, Ruth, don't talk to
any one."
Ruth knew better than to ask why;
she knew that Rita would not tell her.
Rita leaned over then ami kissed Ruth
lightly. Ruth noticed the foreign per
fume that .Rita always affected, but
there was nothing deep in this farewell ;
it was purely mechanical. Then Rita
was gone without another word.
Ruth stepped out to the ball and lis
tened until f-he heard the outer door
open and close, then she opened the door
of her o'fii apartment and stepped in.
She hndWomiscd Ritn to take care of
the trunkMshc must ntteud to that lra
wcdiately. Scott met her in the hall. He looked
strangely white.
"Where have jou been? You ve been
gone nearly an hour.
"Over there," Ruth indicated the
apartment next door with a slicht ges
ture. "Scott, Rita's gone."
"Gone, gone where?"
"I don't know, she wouldn't tell me.
She wants us to take care of a trunk
for her until she semTs."
Scott stared, and Alice.who had come
out into the hall, was staring too with
wide open eyes.
"There's something wrong here if
she's lenving thnt way. Is she leaviug
all of. her furniture in the apartment?"
"Yes."
"Well, don't you see then, Ruth, thnt
we oughtn't to keep the trunk? She's
running away from some one. Kithor
she or Dan have something to bo afraid
of."
"I know nil that," Ruth returned,
''but I promised."
"You should have known better. We
don't want to get mixed up in this thing.
It may be very serious."
Ruth stood turning the little key to
the apartment over and over in her
hand. "I think we ought to do thnt
much for friendship's sake," she said
after a minute slowly. "Wo did like
them, you know."
"They certainly don't deserve any
consideration sneaking off like this,"
Scott said nngrily. "Why didn't you
call me in?"
"Ritn wouldn't let me."
"I thought as much. That trunk
stays right where it is until we sec what
happens, I don't want to be implicated
in a jail sentence or anything like thnt.
It isn't that I'm hard hearted Ruth, but
try to be bensiblc about it."

happened In the apartment next-door),
