CHAPTER XIII.
Lets +

Daphne was going to be fndepend-
ent, but she was still all woman when
it came to the selection of her special
trade. She would be a business WON
an, but she would do a woman's bust
ness.
There were ever 20 many dainties
and exquisites that she wanted to
hang in her shop. She was going to
have a window! With her name on
it! That would be more fun than a
limousine with crest IN door.
Gradually her scheme enlarged. She
would devote her shop to the whole
mechanism of the boudoir. "Boudoir-
wear was the word that pleased her.
1t was in human nature that the
partners should quarrel V er a name
for the baby before the baby was
born. They spoke of themselves as
'"The Firm"
Finally Daphne, claiming the ma
iority of the power, voted en- bloc for
"Boudoirwear," and claimed the vic
tory. Mrs. Chivvis surrendered with
the amendment that Miss Kip
should be at one side, "Mrs. Chivvis''
at the other. She bribed the assem-
bly, by promising that a cousin of hers,
Il young artist living in the Washing
ton News, should paint a pretty sign
board on a swinging single After

"Your name is written on my heart
The world is dark without you. I've
built a bungalow for you and me. Let
us fly to an isle in the tropic sea. The
kiss you gave me set my heart or
fire."
The girl was not offended. She
scowled a little, but not at him. She
seemed in deep thought. Suddenly
she looked into his pleading orbs.
"No,' she said. Nothing like that

So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. It was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
a tolerable reconciliation.
"Well," Bayard sighed, 'beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money I shouldn't have to take Weth-
erelI's money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the office. His GRAFTON
made a huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share in the
apparent rapture of his distant ear
tO-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. He had c%unningly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as a lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
meal for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Bayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out I'M
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivyis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her EN-
broidery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more exhausting drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. 1t is more
fatiguing than bad. She was sur
prised and shocked, too, to find how
snobbish she was all of a sudden
about the petty earnings of a Chivvis.

CHAPTER xxi.

In those days the United States of
America suddenly woke to the fact
that they could pull themselves out
of bankruptcy by helping the benight-
ed states of Europe into it.
There were sudden geysers of for
tune and sudden collapses of failure.
AS in bonanza times, many were ru-
med, while the few prospered. But
Clay and Bayard seemed to touch
nothing that did not turn to gold.
Bayard had gained immense prestige
with his firm because of the huge
orders he brought in. He took all
the power that was accorded and
grasped for more. His most reckless
audacities were rewarded with sue
cess. He rode a tidal wave and swan
with it SO well that all his progress
seemed to be due to his own power.
Bayard astounded Dutilh with the
solution Of that old account, and with
a cash payment for new gowns in
celebration of his new glory. He did
not forget his w people. He tele-
graphed his mother a thousand dol
lars and almost slew her with amaze
ment. He ~telegraphed his father sim
ply the price of a railroad ticket to
New York and a ~peremptory sum
mons to take the first train east.
When Daphne heard this she had
to sit down to keep from falling down.
Bayard resuscitated her with a check
for a thousand dollars. It meant
nothing more to her than abraca'
dabra. The whole Incredible altera'
ton was a fairy story to her. She
made a faint attempt to refuse the
gift, but Bayard forced it back into
her palm and closed her fingers on it.
She repaid Bayard with kisses till
she lost count and embraces till they
both lost breath. Then she borrowed
from him enough cash to pay hel
moss-grown bill with the Chivvises.
Daphne could not wait for the ele.
vator. She ran up several flights OF
stairs, scratched the door with her
palsied latchkey and flung herself

reams of fabrics, but the total was
pathetically tiny.
One thing was instantly demon

or go into debt. Indeed, they already
were in debt.

Daphne. I'D rather die than go on
paying a years rent for an empty

gnawing her thin lips, but it's a risk.

"No!" Daphne stormed. I'm going
to win out on my own. Poor Bayard
is too busy to be bothered with my
troubles. He doesn't know 1 have any.
And Leila is so busy with her social
business that she never asks me what
I'm up to.

Chivvis walled. eve can't go on with

There's only one thing to do

solemnity. BUY on credit. It's a
case of nothing venture, nothing gain ;
nothing purchase, nothing sell! moth
ling borrow, nothing pay. The only
way to get out of debt is to go in
deeper-like getting a fish hook out of
your thumb"
Mrs. Chivvis suffered herself to be
persuaded. They visited the whole
salers and the jobbers and were well
received, having paid cash before
and, thanks to Mr.. Chivvis' suggestion,
having been astute enough to demand
discount for cash.
And now the motortrucks and the
delivery wagons and the ~cyclecars and
the messenger boys began to pour
stock into the little shop. 1t was pleas
ant not to have to pay for things,

How Negroes Go to Camp.

Twelve hundred colored drafted meE

eleven O'Clock. It was raining and

having been walters, clerks and in 9th.

in camp soaked to the skin, tired and
hungry. Were they cursing and
grumbling? No. They came in sing

"Good-by, Lenox Avenue Hello, Ber-

voices rang out in cheerful defiance to
the angry night, to the hard life before
them and to the possible death that
awaited them! That's the stuff that is
in Americans-and it is war that is
bringing it out.-American Magazine.

The high appreciation of the British

days of the war, so each one who now
volunteers to go further forward will

Round Robin.

Originally a round robin was a petit
ton or protest signed in such a way
that nc name headed the list; that is,
the signatures were usually placed in
circular form. The device is French
and the term a corruption of rond
(round) and ruban Ga ribbon). 1t
was first adopted by the officers of
government as a means of making
known their grievances.

Mexico Offers to Aid
Natives in u. S. Who
Are Now Out of Work

Mexico City, June 1S.-Among the
methods adopted by the Mexican
government to aid Mexican labor
ers in the United States who have
suffered during the reconstruction
period following the ending of the
war, is one by the Department of
Agriculture to allot small plots of
land in Lower California to those
who wish to return to their home
land from north of the Rio Grande.
By this means it is hoped to re-
patriate thousands of Mexicans and
also to populate and render produc-
tive the millions of acres of land
in Lower California which the gov
ernment has taken over from the
former concessionaries for not
carrying out their obligations.
Requests from more than three
hundred Mexican families now re-
siding in El Paso, Texas, that they
be allowed to return to Mexico to
engage in farming, have been re-
ceived by the Department of Agri-
culture here and intimation' is Civ
en- that the federal government in
the near future will provide for their
repatriation.

BELL COMPANY
RATES INCREASE
BY 20 PER CENT.
Old Contracts Do Not Hold

solved

Company Points to Increased
Cost of Labor and
Supplies
STATE TO STUDY MATTER

Telephone rentals in Pennsylva-

Monday by the Bell Telephone Com
pany.
Thousands of subscribers will bear
the increased costs.
Subscribers holding contracts un-
der the present rates will find them
useless against the increased charge.
Company officials hold that rates ap-
proved by the government while
wires are under Federal control take
precedence over old rates irrespec
