thought nice things but lacked the
courage to say them.
Daphne moved at once into the Chiv.
Wis apartment what belongings she had
brought on from Cleveland, and her
mother promised to dispatch the rest
of them as soon as she reached home.
Wesley could not be persuaded to
stay over an unnecessary night. His
business was in a perilous condition.
The mammoth Cowper firm had gone
into bankruptcy owing him hand
some sum of money which he was not
likely to recover. The failure also
closed an important and profitable
market for his calculating machines.
1t frightened his banks as well, and
he had wrestled like another Jacob
with an almost Invisible cashier for
money enough to meet his pay roll.
Yet he slipped a large bill into
Daphne's hand when he bade her good
by at the station late In the after
noon. and be whispered to her she
should have other re-enforcements
whenever she called on him.

working clothes. The mailman ran to
call her a taxicab, but she shook her
head. Her humble twenty-five dollars
a week would not justify a chariot to
and from the shop.
She walked rapidly along Fifty
ninth street, but not rapidly enough to
escape one or two murmurous gal
lants.
She found Patterson quarreling with
q property man over the responsibility
for broken vase. He ignored her till
at length she ventured to stammer:
"Here am, Mr. Patterson"
$50 I see. Well, sit down some
where"
Finding seat was no easy task.
Every piece Of furniture she selected
became at once the object Of the
scene shifter's attack and she had to
take flight.
Members OF the company strolled In,
paused at the mailbox and went to
their various cells.
Eventually Patterson found that all
the company was on hand and In good
health. He said to Daphne, EVERY
body is here and nobody sick. so you
needn't stay after the curtain goes
up"
But she wanted to learn her trade,
so she loitered about. feeling like an
uninvited poor relation. The members
of the company came from their lairs,
looking odd and unreal in their paint.
They seemed TO be surprised that
Daphne was still In existence. Eldon
gave her a curious smile of greeting.
She heard the call boy crying cover

the orchestra playing "the kings

that sounded remote and irrelevant.

actor and an actress in white fiannels
with tennis rackets under their arms
linked hands and skipped into the we'll

u time.
Eldon, speaking earnestly to Mrs.
Vining, suddenly began to laugh soft
ly. He laughed louder and louder and
then plunged into the light.
A little later Eldon came off the
stage laughing. He dropped his laugh

was just six o'clock. She remembered
that her father would be arriving in

AT lclgth 1t was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier OPP
poste the door OF entry and waited
in ambush for her father.
At length she made out rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
II was her father. He looked older
and seedier than she remembered. He
did not expect to be met. He was
looking Idly at the new station. He
had not been to New York since 1t had
been thrown open.
She ran to him. He dropped his old
suitcase on the toes of the man follow
ing him and embraced Daphne with
fervor. He devoured her with his eyes
and kissed her again and told her that
she was prettier than ever. All about
them there were little groups eInbrac-
ing and kissing. There was "a wonder
full business in reunions.
When her father said, "I haven't
had my breakfast; have you?" SHE lied
affectiOnately, NO"
Let's have some breakfast to-
gethcr."

She seemed to be right worried, so I
thought I'd better run on to see IL I
couldn't sort of smooth things over.
I'm glad you came to meet me. We
can talk without interruption for once.
Tell me all about It."
She told him the whole story Of her
decision to join the great social rev.
olution that is freeing women from the
slavery of enslaving the men. Her
peroration was her new watchword !:
Il don't want to take any more money
