"In the bakery scheme"

/
Jenny looked at the divers picture on
the wall. her eyes widening little.
You remember what l told you.
JoeY'
About Phil? Sure. Little Jenny
wants him all to herself. And IL she
can't have him for herself then the
trained nurse lady that took away our
dear little star boarders to the hospital
had better look ont for herself.
II will tell you one thing" he OBJ
served. III l was Miss Margaret
you'd not see me driving below TWEEN
ty-third street. No. ma'am. I'd make
brother cough up. He's got nothing
but money. or his wife has"
How do you know that she has
rich brother?"
why. you know 1t too"
Il do not."'
why, Jenny. weren't you nurse for
his kidy'
Good God"
Jenny stared at him with startled
eyes. then shifted her gaze beyond
him. She began to walk up and
down restlessly. gesticulating, mutter-
ing to herset.
What's the matterY'
"Oh. nothing. nothing! You say Miss
Margaret is the sister Of Howard
Lawrence. up in Sixty-third streetY
yes"
Suddenly Jenny stopped. She had
reached a decision. The time had
come to put her stratagem into exc
cution.
We'll. what about Lawrence?" asked
Joe.
"Oh. nothing. l thought it strange
that-that his sister should be here
among us. That's ALL"
rs it" thought Joe. mot by a long
shot. You cant fool me-"
What time is it?"
Half past TO-"
Listen. joe" pleaded Jenny. "You
said that you would help me. Now
you must. want to be alone with
Philip. have an idea"
Il will help you"
Il want you to write Phil q note"
explained Jenny feverishly Tell him
that you are In great trouble and must
see him at once here. And tell him
to come alone-do you understand,
alone?"
Poor Jenny's thoughts few back to
her bitterly won knowledge of the
old life she had left for Philips sake.
She was beautiful: she knew it. He
should know 1t too. Her beauty and
this strange discovery which she had
suddenly made concerning Margaret
Lawrence's relationship-she held two
cards now. She would play them!
Joe read her thoughts fairly accu-
rately. Whatever it was that she knew
about Howard Lawrence was to be
used as an argument to win Philips
love. or at least to weaken Margaret's
hold upon his affection.
But say, Jenny" said Joe. what is
there in it for me? | am not asking
yon to give me money-I'm only ask
ing for the loan of a dollar until
begin to draw my salary from Mr..
Jackson" She gave him the money.
MAKE the note strong" she said.
HE must come"
Joe treasured Jenny and hurried
away.
Haggeton entered briskly and found
Jenny gazing fondly at the picture
of his son.
Haggeton stood beside her. looking
up with her at the portrait
Hes fine young Fellow, that
Philip Ames. isn't he!''
phil: Indeed he is. But If any
body tells you that he is easy to I'M
derstand"-
Gentle seems to understand him.
Gentle thinks he does. Say. MIR.
Jackson. you have Gentle worried. all
right
4? How
"Oh. with all this bakeshop business.
Before you came it was nothing but
the wrongs of the poor. Now it's moth
ing but money making schemes"
You think Philip is Interested" he
asked casually.
"Interested. You know he is inter
ested. Why. yesterday. Gentle was
trying to talk tenement house reform
to Phil. but he hardly listened. He
was figuring out the profits of that
electrical machine for kneading bread"
Good
Haggleton was immensely pleased.
81 never saw Phil that way before"
continued Jenny slowly.
You like him. don't you?"
Everybody likes him. love him."
Jenny continued:
Eyes. he is changed. And this sort
Of encourages me-"
"How so:"
Jenny stumbled on.
"You have made me see" the young
woman was saying. that there are
two Philips-the one Gentle knows and
the one you know"
She gazed at the picture.
