way to Columbus circle.
She plodded the treadmill, till OF
the end Of the sixth day, her forty
eighth hour Of transcribing names and
addresses from the lists to the wrap
pers, she carried off a cash reward Of
eight dollars. This was not clear gain.
Her street car fares had totaled sixty
cents, her lunches a dollar and half
she had worn her costumes at the
sleeves and damaged them with few
ink spots, and her shoes were talkiT g
on a shabby nap.
1t was not encouraging.
At Daphnes left elbow was a large.
fat girl whose pen rolled of large,
fat letters. She talked all the time
about nothing Of Importance, laughed
and fidgeted and asked questions that
would have been impertinent If they
had come from anything but large,
fat head.
Her name was Maria Pribik. She
was Bohemian of the second genera

with New Yorkishness. She was an
incessant Optimist and kept remind
ing everybody to "cheer up, COILS, the

Daphne's luck did not last long. The
receivers found that the percentage OF
inquiries following upon the advertis-
ing and circularizing campaigns was
hardly paying the postage. People
were either too poor to buy books or
too busy with the molten history pour
ing from the caldrons of Europe. Yes

enough.
The receivers closed down the
business abruptly on a Saturday and

CHAPTER xvI-contlnued.

IL
'TH buy myself picture Of you"
She told of her longing for a photo
graph of him, but did not tell him of
her need of it as a talisman. He
laughed aloud at this incredible way
Of spending money, till she began sud-
denly to cry. He had no answer to
that argument except yes. Then she
began to laugh. They decided to stop
at a photographers on the way to the
five-thirty train,
Daphne ran out and cashed Reben's
check at the grocer's much to the re-
lief of Reben's bookkeeper, whose
books had been held up by the missing
check.
Daphne asked for the privilege Of
taking her father to the train, and
Bayard was so busy figuring where to
put the cash he had on hand that he
consented to stop at home.
They went first to the gallery Of
photographer whose showcase had
displayed some strong and veracious
portraits OF men. The photographers
prices staggered Daphne and she pro-
tested, but he answered dolefully:
I'D give thousand dollars for one
photograph Of my father"
That settled it.
After the sitting Daphne and her
father proceeded to the station. She
stopped at the gate because she had
neither ticket for the train nor a
platform pass from the station master,
She watched him dwindling down
the long platform. He was a mere
manikin when he reached his place and
waved to her before he vanished
through the magic door of the train.
She waved to him with her handker-
chief, and when he was gone she bur-
led her eyes in it. Her partings with
her father had marked epochs in her
life. She wondered what destiny would
do to her between now and the next
one. She felt forlorn, afraid for his
life on the train, afraid for her soul in
the perils before it, and so sorry for
him and for herself that she could not
help boO-hooing little.
Destiny die not keep her waiting,
FOR while she was strangling her sobs
9s best she could she heard a voice
over her shoulder. 1t said:
"Aha, gel, at last have you in me
power"
''Mr. DuaneI" she gasped, as she
turned to meet his smile with another.
sand where have you been all this long
while?"
"a lot you've cared" he growled.
ibid you ever telephone me as you
promised you would? No! Were you
always out when telephoned? Yes
Did you let me call on you? You did
not! When at last it penetrated my
thick hide that you weTe actually CIV
ing me hint that you didn't want me
round and that you had thrown me
overheard, neck and crop, grew very
proud. I refused to call on you again"
I'm awfully Sorry, she said, and
her voice broke.
Sorry" was q dangerous word for
her at that moment, and her sobs were
beginning again, when he made a Wig
Orous effort to talk them down.
The crowds in the station were too
well preoccupied with their own err
rands to notice girl crying, and to
the gateman farewell tears were no
luxury.
Duane tried the best he could to help
her. He was saying: "And now 1 sup
pose I've got to miss my train and my

golf and all that while / take you home
m a taxi. You're far too pretty to be
running around loose In mob like
this.
She shook her head. ''YOu mustn't
miss your train, Mr.. Duane, or your
golf. I'm used to going about alone,
and I've got to get useder to it. I'm
going home in the subway. Good-by
and thank you"
She put out her hand formally, and
be took 1t. 1t was like a soft, sun
warmed flower In his palm. and he
elung to it. Its warmth seemed to

to his flock that there would be no
more work at present. Daphne's heart
stopped. Here she was again, learn
ing again the dreadful significance of
tout Of a job"-what the theatrical
people called Eat liberty"
Miss Pribik looked at Daphne and
noted her gloom. "Say, kid, listen
here. Whyn't choo come with me? l
can land you a job at the Lar de
Lucks. Guy name of Goist is the boss
and he'll always gimme a job or any
lady friend. He's kind of rough, but
what's the diff? His money buys just
as much as anybody's. We better beat
it over there ahead this bunch"
Daphne murmWed her hasty thanks
and they left at once. Miss Pribik led
the way to a huge building full of
''Pants Makers" "Nightshirt Makers"
''Waist Makers" and publishers of cal
endars, favors and subscription books.
She asked for Mr.. Gerst, saw him,
beckoned him over, and hailed him
with bravado:
"Well, Mist Goist, here I am, back
to the mines. This is me friend Kip.
l want you should give her job-and
me, too."
Daphne faced Mr.. Gerst's inspection
without visible flinching, though she
was uneasy within. Gerst was large,
flamboyant brute with eyes that
seemed less to receive light than to
send forth vision. He had an in
quisitive and stripping gaze. But
Daphne must endure it. After ran
sacking Daphne with his eyes, he
grunted: "You look pretty good to
me, kiddo. You can begin Monday"
Thanks" said Daphne, humbly.
'I'm comm, too" said Miss Pribik.
"All right" said Gerst. "It's time
you did. Wen take some of that beef
off you." And he playfully pinched
her arm.
Adroitly evading his pincers, Mss
Pribik led the way out, and Daphne
trailed her outside.
Daphne loathed and feared the man
already. He stood like a glowering
menace in the path ahead of her.
Monday morning at eight Daphne
reported for work with the L'Art de
Luxe Publishing society, pronounced
by its own people (who ought to
know 'Lar de Lucks."

culiarly Anglo-Saxon business Of graz

CHAPTER XVII.

Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvis
Of her financial plight, nor of her ia
theirs, nor her brothers. She had
simply let the days Of payment go
past one by one. She saw a chilIier
glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there
was a constant restraint upon the con-
versation for many days.
Mr.. Chivvis was at home most of the
time now, sitting about in his old
clothes to save the others. He and his
wife naturally talked Of Daphne.
Sometimes she overheard their under
tones. Each seemed to urge the other
to the attack. Finally, one evening
Mrs. Chivvis made so bold as to call
on Daphne in her room, and to say,
after much improvising:
II dislike to speak of it, Miss Kip,
ut-well-er-you see-the fact is
if you The grocer is sending round
in the morning for his last weeks bill,
and-if it's not inconvenient-"
Daphne felt sick with shame, but
she had to confess, 81 can't tell you
how sorry am, but haven't any"
"Really? That's too badw Mrs.
Chivvis said. She was hardly sorrier
for herself than for Daphne. She tried
to brighten them both with hope. "But
you expect-no doubt you expect soon
to-"
'Tve been looking for-for some
work to do, but there doesn't seem to
be any,"
Uc,I r coo 10 eof5 NFrS Cbi,zxy;s non
firmed In her suspicious and reduced
to silence. Daphne went on, after
swallowing several cobblestones:
"But, of course. I've no right to be
eating your food and staying on here
as guest. And suppose I'd better
give up my room, so that you can
take in somebody who can pay"
Mrs. Chiyvis was close, but she was
not up to an eviction, and she gasped.
ooh, really hardly think-I
shouldn't like"
Her hard voice cracked like an
icicle swapping off the caves in a
spring sun; and before either Of them
quite understood it the hard eyes Of
both thawed; tears streamed, and
they were in each others arms.
Daphne was the better weeper of
the two. Poor Mrs. Chivvis could not
be really lavish even with tears; but
she did very well, for her.
Immediately they felt years better
acquainted-old friends all of a sud-
den. They were laughing foollshly
when an apologize knock on the open
door introduced Mr.. Chevvis, who
would no more have crossed the sill
than he would have broken into the
temple of Vesta. His name was Chiv-
Wis, not Clodius.
The surprised eyes Of Daphne threw
him into confusion, but he said: |I've
been thinking, Miss Kip, that If you
really want to work and aren't too
particular what at-maybe could get
you a place at my old Office, with the
publishing house. They turned me off,
but the receivers are trying to keep
the business going. Not much pay,
but something's always better'n moth |
ing"
Anything is better than nothing" |
said Daphne, "and 1t might be begin
ming"
She applied the next day and the
firm accepted her.
Now Daphne was truly a working |
woman; not dramatic artist with pc
culiar hours, but toiler by the clock.
She entered the Office Of the company
at half-past eight, punched her num-
Der on the time register, and set to
work addressing large envelopes. She
wrote and wrote and wrote till twelve
at one she took up her pen again, and ]
