CHAPTER I.

HARY DANIFORTH sighed in
lV WEAKNESS and annoyance as
the crowded subway car
came to a standstiu with a violent
Jolt and jar. The man next to her ut
tered an uninteIligible exclamation
and glanced at her angrily The girl
knew that she had trodden on his foot,
but she did not venture an apology.
She released her hold on the strap
long enough to take a handkerchief
from her handbag and wipe her
damp face. The train was disagree
ably warm. It was the afternoon
rush hour and the car was packed 10
its utmost capacity. The air was
dead, and 1t nauseated the girl slight
~. The strong odOr Of perspiring hu-
manity assailed her nostrils and the
whirling fans on the ceiling only
served to beat the overcharge6 at
mosphere into her face. Her right
arm was numb from clinging 10 the
support above her, while her left
she carried.
Everything Wrong.
The express started again with a
sudden Jerk, and she was flung again
against the man behind her. This
time she heard only too plainly what
he said. but she pretended not to hear.
She was too tired to feel resentment.
Even in the high, well-ventilated
schoolroom the atmosphere had been
humid.
This was surely one Of those days
in which everything goes wrong,
unused the girl. Twice she had been
reprimanded for inattention. she had
ootched recitation in mathematics,
usually her easiest subject She was
worn and irritable, and remembered
With a sinking heart that there would

Monthly examinations were due and
.hese meant examining far into the
night. Once more she sighed and
shifted her load Of books from one
arm to the other. Nothing in the
world seemed cheering or encourag-
ing. She was unhappy and half sick.
The express, roaring along between
stations, was gradually Overtaking
local train. The slower cars were,
for a minute, even with the express.
and Mary gazed absent mindedly
through the windows Of the car
speeding along scarcely four feet
away. A young, fresh faced man in
a gray suit and SLOUGH hat stood in
the aisle of the local His eyes met
the girls eyes, and he smiled in frank
amusement at the encounter. The
girl was suddenly aware Of the look,
but she did not smile in return, yet
she forgot for a second that she was
uncomfortably warm and that her
books were heavy.
Suddenly she started and leaned
closer toward the window through
which she was gazing at the local
passengers. The man caught her eye
again. and smiled Cheerfully, then his
look changed to one of bewilderment
as the girl in the express made
warning, frightened gesture. She
was a queer creature. he decided,
