TN FRANCES ELIZABETH FlLSON, SHE
EXPLAINED.
when Andy showed his letter as au-
thority. Miss Filson had come to them
three months before, but had soon
moved to an address far uptown. She
smiled approYingly upon Andy as he
thanked her. She liked this clean
skinned, honest eyed young fellow, and
she even unEent 50 far as to venture
the hope that he would meet with sue
cess.
Andy's answer was grimace. Young
women had trick of losing themselves
in New York Miss Filson had left the
association three months before. 1t
was not likely that she could endure
life In one cheap boarding house for
that length of time. Most places were
endurable for less than Il month.
His suspicious were verified when he
reached the uptown address Miss Fill
son was dimly remembered by the rosy
checked servant girl who answered the
door She stayed only two weeks and
departed on an express wagon, eX-
planning that she could not trust the
driver with the trunk. 1t was this in
cident and the fact that she did not
leave her new address that fixed her
more clearly in the girls mind than
most of those who came and went.
Andy interviewed express wagon
drivers In an increasing circle for the
remainder of the morning and wound
up so conveniently near his own board
ing place that he stopped in for lunch.
Mrs. Lemons establishment was diff
ferent from the average New York
boarding house. Andy had lived there
for year and still liked it, Now that
golden haired Bess Saunders had taken
up her residence there he was willing
to remain indefinitely. Andy was not
susceptible, but the first time Bess had
come into the stutfy dining room he had

when she had lost her position as ste
nographer and could not pay her board
bills unknewn to Bess, he had ar

would be responsible for the bills until

into his seat opposite the girl. She

going to quit the job, and the old man
says you may have it,"
Bess clapped her hands delightedly.

nothing"
Bess nodded, and Andy sat on the
front steps smoking a cigarette and
building air castles while the girl
dressed. They had only cheap seats in
the rear of the balcony, but it was Il
treat, and occasionally Andy could feel
the slight pressure of the girls arm
against his own, emphasizing her near
ness. He did not think much of the
vaudeville performance. What mat
tered the accomplishments of the
trained seals and the toe dancer when
he could lean back with closed eyes

keeping with Bess as the housekeeper?
He was earning enough salary for

isn't that great?" asked Bess. Andy

the accomplishments of pair Of aero
