Tommy North had been looking at
her as one who sees visions and
hears voices. why, that's the way
1 used to think. That's the way !
used to talk" he said. Il didn't
realize until heard it from you,
how I'd got over it. I guess 1 don't
think that way any more. It's this
town. Miss Lane, New York's a
queer place. 1t fills up every year
with young men and young girls. 1t
makes few, but it breaks more.
Some go right straight UP to the
top, but most just drift along at the
bottom. until they give up and go
home. 1 guess that was happening
to mel was drifting at the bottom. .
you're nearer to it than you ever
WERE" said Betsy-Barbara. You
see I'm new here and 1 haven't lost
that feeling that you get in New
York the minute you come-that you
can move mountains. And while I
still feel that way I'm going to make
you work"
"All right" commanded Tommy
North, fire away I'll do anything
you tell me to and go anywhere you
say" He did not add what his
heart said, "even to the end of the
world"
"The first thing to do when you're
starting in business is to find an Of
fice," said Betsy Barbara practically.
There are lots of good cheap little
places in lower Fifth avenue" said
Tommy North.
Lets look at them right now!"
exclaimed Betsy-Barbara. And the
newly-formed Thomas w. North Ad-
vertising Agency wheeled and started
southwark
That afternoon Betsy-Barbara and
Rosalie LIE Grange were sewing to-
gether in the sun parlor. Rosalie,
guider and compeller of destinies, had
seemed for fortnight the least con-
siderable factor in the events now
gathering about the Hanska case. She
moved quietly among the enactors of
the drama, performing her duty of
shaking together a new household.
The invalid on the top floor took a
great deal of her time, and her quiet
motherly watch over Constance al
most as much. Toward Constance she
maintained an attitude of distant af-
lection. With Betsy Barbara, on the
other hand, she grew familiar and big
sisterly. Spite of wide surface diff
ferences in breeding and grammar,
there was some natural bond between
these two-perhaps their common
taste for controlling destinies. Rosa
lie never let her affections film the
main chance, however. In their chats
over the muslin and the teacups she
drew Betsy Barbara, through subtle
attack and retreat, to full discussion
Of the Hanska case. Yet so careful
was her method that Betsy Barbara
never dreamed she had broken any
condolences.
As they pulled hastings Betsy Bar
bara slipped in a remark which she
tried artfully to conceal in general
chatter.
MIR. North tells me-" said Betsy
Barbara, that he is going to start
in business for himself"
Rosalie's eyes. their motion hidden
by her long lashes, observed now that
Betsy Barbara fingers, which had
been fluttering busily, stopped still
for a moment as she dropped this
simple observation.
THAT sol" exclaimed Resale: well
he's a nice, smart young man an II
will be the very best thing for him. .
She pulled hastings for ten seconds
before she resumed:
ut will keep him straight. He won't
have to be helped up to his room fol-
some time, hope
Betsy Barbara stared and flushed.
ooh! Did you see it?"
