CHAPTER XVII.

Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvi
of her financial plight, nor of her ia
theirs, nor her brothers. She hat
simply let the days Of payment q
past one by one. She saw a chilliel
glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there
was constant restraint upon the con
versation for many days.
Mr.. Chivvis was at home most of the
time now, sitting about in his ole
clothes to save the others. He and his
wife naturally talked of Daphne
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 I am. but haven't any,"
"Really? That's too Sbadr' 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-"
'I'ye Deen looking for-for some
work to do, but there doesn't seem to
be any,"
"Oh, seel" said Mrs. Chivvis, con-
firmed in her suspicious and reduced
to silence. Daphne went on, after
swallowing several cobblestones:
'sBut, of course. I've no right to be
eating your food and staying on here
as a 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 II hardly Think
shouldn't like"
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 /
hey were ia each others arms.
Daphne was the better weeper of
he two. Poor Mrs. Chivvis could not
De really lavish even with tears; but
she did very well, for her.
Immediately they felt years better
friends all of a sud-
len. They were laughing foolishly
when an apologize knock on the open
Ioor introduced Mr.. Cheyvis. who
would no more have crossed the sill
han he would have broken into the
emple of Vesta. His name was Chiv-
lis. not ClOdius.
The surprised eyes Of Daphne threw
i'm into confusion, but he said: 1--WE

laughed aloud at this incredible wa
of spending money, till she began sud
denly to cry. He had no answer t,
that argument except yes. Then sh
began to laugh. They decided to stol
at photographers on the way to thu
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 q
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
platform pass from the station master.
She watched him dwindling down
the long platform. He was 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 a little.
Destiny die not keep he- waiting, |
as best she could she heard voice |

I'm awfully sorry" she said, and
err voice broke.
Sorry" was a dangerous word for
er at that moment, and her sobs were
sginning again, when he made a Wig
