 She put out her hand formally, and he took it. 1t was like 8 soft, sum- warmed flower in his palm. and he clung to it. Its warmth seemed to reach through his blood to his heart and to make it ache.

CHAPTER XVII.

Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvfs of her financial plight, nor of her fa- | ther's, nor her brothers. She had simply let the days of payment go past one by one. She saw chilIier glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there was a constant restraint upon the con- versation for many days. l a MT. 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 Nimprovising: .f "I dislike to speak of it, Miss Kip. but--well--er-you see-4the 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, s'I can't tell you how sorry I am, but haven't any, z
 Really? That's too bad ]" Mrs: Chivvis said. She was hardly sorrier for herself than for Daphne. She tried l to brighten them both with hope. .But you expect-no doubt you expect soon to" ~ ss49s

 .oh, I see !'' said Mrs. Chivvis, con- frmed in her suspicious and reduced to silence. Daphne went on. after swallowing several eobblestones
 'tBut, of course. I've no right to be eating your food and staying on here as guest And I suppose I'd better give up my room, so that you can take in somebody who can pay"
 Mrs. Chivvis was close. but she was not up to an eviction, and she gasped. "Oh, really !-I hardly think--I shouldn't like" F Her hard voice cracked like an iciele snapping off the caves in a spring sun; and before either of them quite understood it the hard eyes of both tf1awed; tears streamed, and they were in each others arms.
 Daphne was the better weeper Of the two Poor Mrs. ChivvTs 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 sud- den. They were laughing sfoolishly when an apologetic knock on the open door introduced MT. Cheyvis, 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. *#s.
 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 roo 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 noth- ing" ~ Y ..- s=. !
