The old woman who had come

had suddenly forgotten Belf-con-

had risen in such friendly fashion
to offer her chair, and who was
listening with such sympathy to
her problem
Il don't think wen have q BIT Of

And then she looked up and faced
the chief. He was standing In the
doorway of his own private Office
smiling quizically. A tide of sells
consciousness swept over the -girl.
She wasn't a selling agent, she had
no right to be talking Of rentals,
she had, in fact. no. business 10 be

Grace crossed the floor and spoke
to Mr.. Allen in low, eager tones.
'I know have no right to-buE

Made Her Own Chance.

Three dollars extra-just for
taking that nice old woman out to
look at some apartments And you
aren't angry with me And you
don't think I've gone over any

"Come back after you've rented
the apartment. Miss Carmichael,
and tell me what you know about
the real estate business. Maybe
we need new renting agent
around here"
You'd give me a chance"
Mr.. Allen smiled a kindly, under
standing smile. Its a little too
late to. talk about giving you a

had made 1t for yourself. Now. so
back to your customer. Miss Car
michael, and tomorrow we'll dis

headache. It seemed to
Y i start somewhere in her
spine and mount with devil
ish ingenuity to the crown of her
head: then 1t slid rapidly down her
forehead and ended in a smoldering
smoky bonfire right back OF her
eyes.
The click of her typewriter
jabbed icy needles into her spine
and red hot ones into the most vul-
nerable and violent portions OF the
headache.
"If anybody gives me any more
dictation today, I'll die-In just
die" thought Grace to herself. And
then as il fate thought It might be
interesting to test the situation, the
chief appeared in the doorway of
his office and called, Miss Car
michael, would you mind coming
here a minute?"
Grace did mind, most decidedly,
but she did not let that prevent her
from gathering up notebook and
pencil and approaching.
Miss Harper has to be at the
doctors at $50, and 1 have some
letters which will take a couple OF
extra hours" the chief explained.
"Will you take them for me-"
Il will il you need me. of course,
Mr.. Allen; but I'm afraid can't do
them very well. 1 have a splitting
headache"
Berates Herself.
Mr.. Aliens amiability remained
unclouded. Then, OF course. I
mustn't bother you: I'll get Miss
Malloy or Miss Purdy." he said.
Suddenly Grace wished that she
had not mentioned the headache.
Mr.. Allen was perfectly agreeable,
perfectly willing to excuse her, and
yet she sensed in his manner q
vague disappointment in her un-
readiness.
On the way out to Long Island
City, Grace suffered several other
agonies besides those OF her aching
head.
You're a big dub. Grace Car
michael" she told herself. "You
weren't ready when you got your
chance and probably you'll never
get another. Suppose you had
headache? You could have man.
aged the work somehow. Mr.. Allen
probably thinks you're the sort OF
girl who works with her eye on the
clock and who whimpers and plays
cry-baby the minute she doesn't
feel just so. That's no way to get
anywhere. You mum your chances
every time"
The next morning Grace came
into the office in a tremor OF dis
content with herself. Little cry
baby" she kept saying to herself,
and all through the day bitter
scorn and self-condemnation made
her do her work in half-hearted
fashion 1t was seldom that she
was singled out as one OF the Of
fice force. and so il was seldom
that as one of the large force she
had had a chance to prove to Mr..
Allen directly that she had real in
terest in the work and real desire
to grow.
Grace's discomfort made her BIT
ter for several days, and then an
idea was born to her.
Grace Carmichael! Instead OF
being mad at yourself for iunking
your chance the other day, when it
came marching up and offered it,
self to you. why don't you make
yourself a few extra chances? Sup
