His eyes rose to meet hers above his
neglected newspaper.
Linda flushed almost imperceptibly.
His look was unmistakably for her, yet
somehow entirely without oifense. She
regarded him coldly and looked away.
She was conscious of the fact that he
folded his newspaper and rolled it be-
tween his hands. With the eyes that
every woman wears in the back of her
head, she knew that he presently settled
his tie.
She was breathing quickly, which sur
prised her, and a sweet, wild sense of adj
venture danced about her heart, which
surprised her yet further. cit was spring,

ever it was, and whatever the reason,
when Linda eyes for the third time met
the eyes of the young man in the blue
serge, she smiled-the faintest, shyest
flicker of smile. And the young man
smiled-almost as family, if not quite so
shyly. The ear proceeded in rosy haze.
The old story, you observe, Pity tis,
It's true!
Two blocks farther on Linda left the

obviously the fate of the evi-doer was

Linda's frightened heart Hell try to
speak Whatll do? Whatll l."
She clutched her purse and all but ran,
the silk stockings and little new shoes
bearing her neatly. Vaguely through her
alarm showed rebelious sense of regret:
"And he looked so nice-he looked"
Then she came all at once in the twi-
light to her mothers dwelling and Sc
curity. The old house faced upon the

mounting the steps, looked to see her

He mounted the six stone steps behind
her.
She faced him; her latch-key in the
door, heart stammering against her side
"What do you WANT" she demanded.
"May | come in?" inquired the villain
of the piece.
She thought he smiled, and that enraged
her.
"Please go away-at once.

"Then go away-at once,' said Linda
sternly.
"Cant very well, said the young man
meekly. "You see, | live here.
"Since when?' inquired Linda with out
ragged sarcasm.
"Since this morning." He added for
her further enlightenment, "l'm boarding
here, y'know.
"Oh!" said Linda.
"Yes, really" said the young man po-
litely. He looked very tall in the dusk.
"May | open the door for you?'
Whereupon he did, astoundingly, open
her own door with her own key, and usher
her into her own house.
Linda fled up the stairs like compe-
tent business woman pursued by demons
which is to say, with dignity but with
out lingering.

off the car at Toledano Street; but in the
early dusk the pear tree showed nun-like
and vague-a white cloud sleeping in the
fence corner. Still, its fragrance hovered.
The new hat came home next day, and,
still in the grasp of that blind desire for
something she had not yet touched, Linda
wore it on the third day down to work.
She never got on her car in the morning
now without a backward glance at the
pear tree.
HALF way through that day, it came
to her with overwhelming clearness
that the green hat made the blue suit i'm
possible-dull. even dusty-looking. Linda
caught her breath and wrestled with her.
self. She thought of rainy days, she
thought of illness, she thought of wise
provision for old age: but in the end she
drew thirty dollars from the bank and
bought with it a suit-of some gray stuff,
short, well cut skirt. loose, boyish-
looking coat And that night, when the
clearinghouse was quiet, she tried her
hair in a new way-a softer way, a way
having more "cheek' about it, as her friend
the lady in the hat-shop would have said.
"What're you getting new clothes for
nor2" inquired Mrs Rowland when this
effiorescence of raiment came to her
notice She was mostly too tired to be
very observant.
Because | need them,' said Linda.
She evaded further questioning. ., ,
But the new suit led to a new blouse
to four new blouses, to be exact because
a business woman can not very well go
l>oJ al haipu lann-
dered; and to duly shining pumps, be-
cause new skirt makes old shoes look
shabby; and eventually, upon one fever
ish battle-ground of day, to three pairs
of silk stockings-that was after morn
ing in which Linda had stolen twig of
the pear tree over the fence to stick in her
buttonhole. The faint, heavy fragrance
of the flowers was like an enchanted drink
to her. Oh. well. She bought the stock
ings at noon, and, changing in the rest
room which the so thoughtful Gas Com
pany provided for its retainers, wore
pair of them home with the new pumps.
She did not allow herself now to con-
slider the rainy day. Her first pair of silk
stockings provided thrill that allowed
of no gloomy reflections whatsoever.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes shin
ing, when she stepped on the Prytania
Street car. 1t was the most crowded hour
of the day, but what of that?-with silk
to stand in! She was not, however, forced
to stand At the very front Of the car,
next to the door, two small seats faced
each other across the aisle. One of these
Linda attained.
Her vis-a-vis, a tall young man in blue
serge, sheltered himself in an evening
paper above which he scowled alertly.
Linda folded her hands in her lap, looked
down at her feet, and drew long sigh
of contentment. The car, crowded with
home-going shoppers and business men,
lurched along between vague twilit spaces.
Lights blossomed up and down the street.
There was the busy murmur of voices the
hiss of the conductors bell, the occasional
click of fares rung up.

Hewitt, from the West. Linda, who
looked no higher than her plate, allowed
him nervous and almost imperceptble
bow. But after dinner she waited for him
in the hall, where odors of cabbage and
boiled mutton mingled frendly-wise upon
the stagnant air.
"I should like to speak to you a min

How was he to know that her hands

in a moment of sik-stockinged reckless

adventure home with her. Life assumed
all at once hazardous but oddly not
altogether unpleasing aspect.
"Mr. Hewitt seems to be real nice
young man." commented her mother
upon the night after his arrival.
GAS young men go, said Linda grimly.
"Well-what's he done to you?'

This to Linda, with the consequence Of
that one reckless smile eating into her
secret heart!
However, the next time that Mr..
Hewitt asked her out, she went.--it was,
by the way the very next night,-and
within a moving-picture theater called
suavely "The Little Trianon. she drank
yet deeper of the heady draught deceit
had brewed for her.
"Why wouldn't you come out with me
