II Suppose her fathers train ran of
the track or into another train. A
| spread rail, block signal overlooked,
a switch left unlocked, might bring
doom upon his train as on SO many
others. She shivered at the horror of
| her fathers loss. She shivered again
at the thought of what it would mean
| to her.
Suppose the Chivyises turned her
out. Why should they feed her for
nothing when their own future was
endangered?
What could Bayard do for her? or
Clay? There was Mr.. Duane, of
course; but she could not take his
money without paying him. And In
what coin could she pay him? She
trembled, and the breeze turned gIa-
cial.
The next morning was another day
of the same shoddy pattern. She rose
unrefreshed with only her fears re-
newed. She borrowed the Chivvises
newspaper and, skipping the horrid
advertisements of foreign barbarity
and American dismay, turned to the
last pages. The "Situations Wanted
columns were eloquently numerous
and the 'Help Wanted-Female'' col
umns were few; still, she made list
of such places as there were. She
wrote letters to all sorts of people |
who gave newspaper letter-box adj |
dresses, and she went out to call on |
all sorts of people who gave their |
street numbers.
The letters she wrote were not an
swered at all. She lost her postage as
she had lost her car fares. 1t seemed
as if the end of the world, or at least |
The breakup of its civilization, had ar
rived without warning and without
refuge.

more work at present. Daphne's heart
stopped. Here she was again, leayn-
ing again the dreadful significance of
"out of a job"-what the theatrical
people called sat liberty"
Miss Pribik looked at Daphne and
noted her gloom. "Say, kid, listen
here. Whyn't choo come with me?
| can land you a job at the Lar de

and he'll always gimme job or any

what's the diff? His money buys just
as much as anybody's. We better beat

and they left at once. Miss Pribik led
the way to a huge building full of
pants Makers" "Nightshirt Makers"
"Waist Makers" and publishers of cal
endars, favors and subscription books
She asked for Mr.. Gerst, saw him,
beckoned him over, and hailed him
with bravado:
"Well, Mist Goist, here am, back
to the mines. This is me friend Kip.

me, too"
Daphne faced Mr.. Gerst's inspection
without visible fiinching, though she
was uneasy within. Gerst was large,
fiamboyant brute with eyes that |
seemed less to receive light than to |
send forth vision. He had an in
quisitive and stripping gaze. But |
Daphne must endure it. After ran
sacking Daphne with his eyes, he |
grunted: "You look pretty good to
me, kiddo. You can begin Monday"
Thanks" said Daphne humbly.
'T'm comm, too," said Miss Pribik.
"All right" said Gerst. sIt's time
you did. Well take some of that beef
on you And he playfully pinched
her arm.
Adroitly evading his pincers Miss
Pribik led the way out, and Daphne
trailed her outside.
