CHAPTER X.
Helen Demands Her Price.

An automobile had stopped on the
edge of the crowd Its occupant, an
elegantly gowned young woman,
curious to learn the cause Of the ex-
element, alightcd and edged a path
through the mob. 1t was Alice Mar
tin, on her way home from a matinee.
She was genuinely distressed when
she recognized Helen.
Why" she cried in great alarm
what has happened? Has there been
all accident? This girl is a friend OF
mine"
Il am glad OF that, madam" said
John gravely. "Perhaps you will help
by taking her to your house and look
ing after her till she RECEIVERS her
senses"
But Alice could not do that. HUI
man gold mines Of the variety in
which She had stock did not care TO
have their palatial apartments con-
verified into a refuge for the sick and
the destitute.
I'm sorry" she confessed q

my own place, But if my car can be
OF any service
Certainly" agreed John at once
M1ll you allow me to put her inside
Iii SIT with the chauffeur"
But where arc you taking her to-"
Don't you know where she lives?"
No. That is--we haven't met for
some time until today"
The qualifying clause until today"
struck John as singular. DO Won
mean that you saw her in the depart
ment storeo' he inquired.
Miss Martin nodded. 1t was now
her turn TO be surprised at such ready
recognition of Helen's Whereabouts in
business hours. But it was manifest.
l!y impossible to carry the discussion
further.
MY own house is not far distant"
SAID John let us take her there
and send for a doctor. No doubt
my housekeeper will be able to pro
vide some dry clothes At any rate
ms poor girl should be put TO bed
Immediately and allowed to rest until
tomorrow. Do not be alarmed She
has only tainted She was not in the
water long enough to incur any Sc
rlous consequences"
Did she try to commit suicide -
inquired the Martin girl, in an awed
voice.
1T looks something like that" said
John, grimly

II am sure your lordship can have
little idea Of the abject poverty which
lies within a block OF the most fash
ionable thoroughiares. DO come!
Share my car, Tell your man where to
wait for you, and III drop you there
in an hour"
John smiled. Far better than the
doll-likc creature addressing him, he
knew how the poor live. But, there
was no special claim on his tlnie that
dav, and il humored him to watch the
methods of these superior creatures as
they picked their dainty way through
the slumS.
They visited a number OF tenements
and finally happened upon that which
housed the Rays.

up settlement work. murmured
Johns companion. Il can't tell you

wretched people make. Now, here Is

Mrs, Ray was not loath to tell her
visitors the tale of her hard, daily

touch of exaggeration to the story.

things He knew Mrs Raw and her

The mere sight of his graceful figure
