She was beginning to believe, and yet
Then she remembered how, once on her
way home from Chicago, she lost her
purse and did not have sufficient change
left even to wire her father to meet her.
She was forced to walk from the station
to the house. The experience had always
been like nightmare to her. She rose
and stood before him.
"RUT, Don-what are you going to do?"
"I telephoned Barton, and he suggest
cd take some sort of position with busi-
ness house. He's going to find something
for me. I'm not worrying about that;
but what l want to know is what ought
to do about you.'

She looked puzzled
"I'm afraid I'm very stupid.

"That's nice of you, Don,' she said.
"But you don't know what frightfully
expensive burden I'll be as wife,"
"If l earned, to start WITH say fifty
dollars week-would you marry me on
that?'
"If did, what would we live on?' she
inquired.
"Well, l have the house. That's all
provided for by my guardian-all except
the table.
"But if spent the fifty dollars for

there's never anything left, she answered.
"Ten thousand year!' he exclaimed.
"Everythingis so expensive to-day, Don.
All this talk sounds frightfully vulgar,
but-there's no use pretending, is there?s
"Not bit, he answered. "And if ten

on a new meaning. Until now it had been
nothing but a trifing convenience, be-
cause at the end of the month he had only
to forward his bill to his father. But that
could not be done any longer. Here was
another broken connection.
He could also have gone to any one of a
= dozen men of his acquaintance and bor-
rowed from five to fifty dollars. But it
was one thing to borrow as he had in the
past, and another to borrow in his present
circumstances He had no right to borrow.
The whole basis Of his credit was gone.
The situation was, on the face of it, so
absurd that the longer he thought it over
the more convinced he became that Bar
ton had made some mistake. AS the
lawyer presented the case to him in his
office, it had not seemed serious matter.
He had then in his pocket sufficient for
his immediate needs. But that now he
should actually be hungry without having

solved to telephone Barton at once. On
his way to the telephone he passed the

TT was with sense of relief that he
found the name of Barton & Saltonstall

disappeared. 1t was with still greater
sense of relief that he finally heard Bar
tons voice.

TUYVESANT was proud of his daugh-

ability to dress, proud of her ability to
spend money. She gave him about the
only excuse he now had for continuing to
hold his seat on the Stock Exchange. The
girl was tall and dark and slender, and
had an instinct for clothes that permitted
her to follow the vagaries of fashion to
their extremes with the assurance of
Parisienne, plus certain Stuyvesant
daring that was American. At dinner
that night she wore for Don's benefit, a
new French gown that made even him
catch his breath. 1t was beautiful, but

advantage of catering to a guest that had

in the evening Stuyvesant went off to his

Stuyvesant excused herself to write notes.

about it,"
He led her to chair before the open
fire. He himself continued to stand with
his back to the flames. He was not seri-
Gus. The situation struck him now as
even funnier than it had in Barton's Office.
He had in his pocket just thirteen cents,
and yet here he was in Stuyvesant's house,
engaged to Stuyvesant's daughter.

THE STRIKERS AND THE DAY BOOK WISH To
THANK DAY BOOK READERS FOR THEIR HELP

Here is the letter from the strikers
headquarters, received this morning:
The Day Book: On behalf of the
striking clothing workers the officers
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work.
ers of America wish to express their
sincere thanks to you, your paper
and its readers for the moral and
financial support The Day Book and
its readers have been to them during
the strike. The Day Book not only
stood by the clothing workers during
their trouble, but was a great factor
in organizing them, prior to the
strike, in giving the necessary news
during the campaign of organization.
The Day Book has been a source
of inspiration to the strikers by it's
fair treatment of strike news and
words of encouragement in its col
umns. All workers and their friends
true to the cause of labor should not
only be readers, but enthusiastic
boosters of your paper, which, al
though small in form, is very large in
accomplishments for the under dogs
in society.
We hope that the influence of The
Day Book for good will grow greater,
knowing that you will do the right
thing.
We stand by our friends.
Fraternally yours, F. Rosenblum,
Member G. E. B. A. C. w. of A.; J. S.

The rich man may hand out his coin
to cause,
And then let it drift from his mind.
The poor man must ponder and fig
ure and pause.
To see how far he'll be behind.
The check for hundred that comes
from the man
Who pulls down ten times that
much dough
Brings with it the spirit-but not any
more
Than the buck from the poor man
that's so.

The Day Books garment workers
strike fund is closed. For grand
total The Day Book has turned two
thousand, ninety-fiVe dollars and
eighty-four cents over to the strik-
ers. In figures that looks like this
-$2,095.84. And that much money
helps out nightly in case like the
garment strikers.
Readers of The Day Book "came
through" royalty, and without any
coaxing. There seemed to be real
brotherly and sisterly feeling in the
donations that came in. There was
much more than just plain cold cash
in the amount donated. There was
sympathy. Who can say that SYM
pathy isn't a welcome thing in time
of trouble?
On behalf of Sidney Hillmann and
all the strikers, and also on behalf
of The Day Book, we want to thank
our readers most emphatically for
the help that has been given.
The fund was huge success. In
a letter to The Day Book the garment
workers hand a good share of the
credit to The Day Book. We wish to
turn the big majority of that credit
over to the donators to the fund.
They are the ones who made it
success. Here's to them-the whole
crew. Sidney HiIlman, the strikers,
and The Day Book wish you all
Merry Christmas and a most pros
