added "WeNe taken long enough 10 get

sophie looked up at him with wide eyes;
certain sense Of fear came 10 her. Finally
she smiled in answer 10 his inquiring look,
but she thought there was something in what
he said that she would rather he had not said

The rcstof that nightwas strange 10 Sophie
II made the day stand out from the rest OF her
pale, commonplace days as one marked with
gold and crossed with scarlet She was des-
peratey afraid OF the consequences of her
stepand yet she was glad she had taken it.
Sophie had boarded in the same place ever
since her mother died, leaving to her care the
new baby. That was not long after her
fathers death, and his wife was not strong
enough TO live through the second suffering.
She wondered that night If Mrs. Sellers
and her boarders, even il little Bobby saw
anything unusual in her expression. The
same thoughts we're so continually in her
mind il almost seemed strange people could
moi read them. After arising from the supper
table she stopped to speak TO Mrs. Sellers.
She had waited parposely until the four other
boardcrs had gone upstairs.
"Oh, expect company tonight, Mrs.
Sellers, She said, trying with poor success 10
look Indifferent
"ShaII | send her up 10 your room ?" asked
the landlady.
It's IA gentleman"
Mrs Sellers disguised her astonishmcnt
with a smile and shake OF her head that sent
the small cluster Of false curls bobbing.
Now what do YOU know about that,

the boy

she knew how she had come to meet this man,
She was wondering what he thought OF her
lShe was even wondering il she understood
therself. 1T seemed 50 incredible, 50 amazing,
land yet. She looked across at him and
Ismiled, He was leaning back in the chair, one
sleg over the other, short, black cigar in the
Ycorner Of his mouth, as he talked, his right
ahand conspicuous with great diamond on
one finger. And, in his way, he was very good
indeed to look at
He told her a great deal about himself
Hc seemed TO take great delight in doing 50.
And Sophie was good listener. She sat with
her vivid red lips slightly parted, flush had
Ioome TO her cheeks; she hardly withdrew her
eyes from him all evening Her admiration
was so obvious and so obviously sincere, he
would have been a strange man y ho did not
enjoy being its object
I'm something Of politician, you know"
c said. "Down in the Fourth District every
man knows who Jim Conors is" She remcm-
bered that
Before he went, after announcing his inten-
ton TO do so, he came over and took chair
close beside her. ooh, don't be so frosty
he said, taking one Of her hands in his. As
she attemptedto withdraw it, he seized both,
and leaning over, kissed her full on The lips.
A startled cry broke from her, and, bending
over, she hid her lace in her hands.
He arose with a somewhat doubtful expires
sion, perhaps rather conlrite one, and patted
her gently on the shoulder "Thcre there,
kid" he said. Perhaps | did 60 a little
rapid. Well, good night" He waited for her
to speak, but she did not look up, 50 he went
out into the hall and let himself out OF the
front door
Even after it had slammed behind him,
Sophie still sat in the same position, CULVER
ing and ashamed. After little while she
turned out the gas and went up the stairs to
her room, slowly and with one hand on the
banisters 10 steady herself
Nevertheless, after that first evening, which
in some ways had been so humiliating, Sophie
felt that new and wonderful interest had
entered into her coorlcss life She changed
gradually in appearance. The pink flushed
her cheeks more easily; she learned TO dress
her hair in a becoming psyche, such as she
had seen on a hair-dresser's model in shop
window on Fulton Street; she carried herself
in manner that counteracted some Of the
effect of her cheap clothing. Often in front
Of her mirror she gazed with startled, some
what surprised eyes at the girl she saw there
with lips slightly parted and the even teeth
showing white in the glass.
There was no doubt that Conors admired
her. He took her TO the theatre; and il they
were not exactly the ones she would herself
have chosen, they we're, at least, delightfully."-
entertaining and even more than that-for he
was beside her He met her on the ferryboat
OF evenings and walked home with her But
while he had always treated her with respect
and had never again been as familiar as on
that first evening, there was at times a certain
expression in his eyes and on his lips, GER
tain glance which seemed TO question and
consider, that sent her home from an even

said, apologctcally
"Of course, you and him are engaged 4"
There was trihc Of suspicion in Mrs

They went TO the theatre that evening
On the way home, Conors, as il the rcwerk
came reluctantly, said: Sophie, | don't think

then. All right"
Sure" Sophie answered.
SO on Thursday she and Bobby decided TO
go to the Zoo anyway and take their lunch
with them. Sophie went downstairs in the
kitchen to prepare the ham sandwiches
