 In the market June's maid, companion and pro- tector wandered from stall to stall, selecting her tiny purchases of fruit and vegetables. She was just deciding on the tremendously important selec- ton of the chicken itself when suddenly an ava lanche of flaming color fell upon her. and voice cried:

 Tn minute" The yellow haired woman was quite calm and collected. "I don't mind turning over parlor to settle domestic scrap. but want my bill settled first Eight fifty"
 "How do I know that she is guilty of gambling' How do know that she is here?' The womans lip curled.
 Want to see her with the goods? Well, Jackson if you'll promise to behave I'll show her to you through peephole."
 The mans fists clinched convusively.
 You'd better pass my eighthfty frst," said the yellow haired woman.
 Just a minute, please A sweet voice, low gen tle cutured-no such voice as the man had expect ed to hear in this place. He was equally Impressed when he turned and saw the beautiful young girl who had gded through the rear door, her face full of serious purpose.
 "who rang for you?" snapped the yellow haired woman, her eyes flaming with instant resentment
 q stayed in this house for other reason than to see Mir. Perry" announced June, with no trace or timdity about her.
 "What do you know about thisT'
 Mrs. Perry Is in deep trouble and needs your help."
 "She had reason to be in trouble. I give my wife an ample allowance" The man turned from June.
 You give it." Across June's mind there flashed again the whole of her vital probem-that whatever the wife has must come from the husband in the nature of charity. She herself again as the piteous little beggar before Ned whom she loved and sine Mrs. Perry in that same attitude before this stern husband What right have you to call 1t gift?"
 The man stopped and turned to June with pug zled brow She had set astir in him new thought
 'This angel of mercy stuff is bad for profits" rasped the voice of the yellow head. But can't overlook a chance like this. I know your kind Jackson Perryl You give your wife an allowance that covers everything but emergencies You figure the plumber to come in three times year. and If he comes in four she loses. If she has mad pas sion to treat few of her friends to ice cream sodas she has to wait till next months allowance day.

No" cried Mrs. Perry hystericay and reached over June's shoulder to take the phone. The new secretary had made move toward the phone She was staring at the yellow haired woman in aston ishment. That determined person was not one to wrangle in emergencies She snatched up the phone herself and called the number.
 "You women think I'm a mark" she scornfully stated to Mrs. Perry while she waited. You'd sting me for thousand dollars rather than sting your husband for 1t. See this card? She held 1t out It contained the name of Jackson W. Perry, his busi- ness address, his home address, his financial rating, probable income, clubs and telephone numbers. And the unfortunate Mrs. Perry seemed to shrink into hopeless despair she realized the 1mpacable or ganization against which she had ptted herself sMr. Perry, please" The yellow haired woman's voice had undergone complete change It was very pleasant of infection, though it rasped. His wife wishes to speak with him." She handed over the telephone, and June, seeing Mrs. Perrys un- steadiness, and compassonatey gave the wom- an her chair The yellow haired one walked calmly over to her own desk and took up the extension phone.
 June looked at her hat and coat She seemed quite bewidered. She could not quite understand what this was all about but she did know that it was all unpleasant and heartless and degrading. She was starting to go when something on Mrs. Perry's face touched her sympathies and held her.

 There was a slight convulsive heaving of Perrys shoulders but that was all. He drew out pocket book and counted some money into the yellow haired woman's hand.
 Now bring Gwen to me-" he said
 With moist eyes June hurried from the room
 moment later there was a shriek, and as June came to the door Mrs. Perry her eyes wild and her hair flying came rushing back through the hall. She had gone only far as the parlor door ana at the first sight of her husband had run, overwhelmed with unreasonng terror. Back into the salon Mrs Perry fled and to her place next the dealer. With snakeke swiftness she jerked open the money drawer beneath the dealers card box and snatched from it the shining revolver which she had so often seen there. There instants commoton. shrieks of fright overturning of chairs, as with
 wild cry the woman swiftly raised the revolver to her temple Before she could press the trigger, how ever June's strong young arm had thrown up the woman's wrist, and the bullet which would have ended Mrs. Perry's life went into the ceiling.
 Jackson Perry came bursting through the door and found June in the midst of the pandemonium. with the limp Mrs Perry in her arms.
