NEIL'S LIFE JOB.
CHAPTER CXII

NEIL really was yey brave. He
~ had a staggering load of debt
facing him after all was settled.

when he spoke of what he owed.
All the small investors had been

Long Island, near enough so Neil

the papers had aired Neil's troubles.
Strangely Mrs. Powers was one of
them. 1t seemed her husband had
met Neil in the street, had stopped
and spoken with him. Neil had told
him he was trying to satisfy his
customers, and Mr.. Powers had i'm
mediately become interested and had
asked him many questions. He must
have seen how penitent Neil was,
how anxious to make reparation, and
it had softened him toward us. Mrs.
Powers said he had told her that
Neil was more sinned against than
SHINING, and that he had faith in
him. She only remained a few mo-
ments, but nothing could have hap
pened to give Neil more pleasure. She
and Lorraine Morton were about the
only women who sympathized in any
way with me. All save Blanch Or

She had lost what Neil had paid her
for providing her entertainment and
suppers for his following.

dependent and earn decent living.
While girls-most of them, are
taught they must marry, and few
silly accomplishments on the side.
She looked so lovely even in this
petulant mood that l replied:
"You will probably marry again
