MISS Kemble tried to help. She
asked Daphne to step aside and watch
while she went through the scene. But
she was so unnerved that she forgot
her own lines and had to refer to the
manuscript, while Eldon waited in
acute distress and Daphne, looking on,
said: "Oh, see. I think I understand
it now" Then she forgot it all again
at the repetition. Somehow the re-
hearsal was worried through to the
end and Patterson dismissed the com
pany with sarcastic thanks. Then he
went to Reben to demand q substi-
tute.
Daphne went home, dreading her
fate but not knowing what the verdict
was. She felt sure that it would be
not guilty of dramatic ability. She
was worn out with the exposure of her
own faults and uncertain which she
feared the more-tO be dismissed or
to be accepted. The latter meant un-
ending trials.
At the elevator she found Tom
Duane. He had just telephoned up
to the apartment to ask If she were in.
There was a welcome f1attery in his
frank delight. She asked him up. Tom
Duane was electric with cheer. He
praised Daphne with inoffensive heart.

"Everything's got to begin" he said.

They seemed to be surprised that
Daphne was still I'm existence. Eldon-
gave her a curious smile of greeting.
She heard the call boy crying "Over-
ture" about the corridors. She heard
the orchestra playing ''the kings

that sounded remote and irrelevant.
There was loud swish which she sup

CHAPTER XI.

She woke early next morning. 1t
was just six o'clock. She remembered
that her father would be arriving in
two hours. She decided that it would
be a pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old, neglected codger by meeting
him.
At the Grand Central station Daph-
ne found that she was nearly an hour
too early for the train. It amused
her to take her breakfast at the lunch
counter, to Chamber on the high stool
and eat the dishes of haste-a cup Of
coffee and a ham sandwich. It was
pleasant to wander about alone in this
atmosphere of speed, the suburban
trains, like feed pipes, spouting
streams of workers, the outbound
trains drawing their passengers to far
off destinies as if by suction.
At length it was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier OPP
posite the door of entry and waited
in ambush for her father.
At length she made out rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
It 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 it 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 embrace
ing and kissing. There was a wonder
full business in reunions.
When her father said, 81 haven't
had my breakfast; have your" she lied
afectionately, 'sNo."
Lets have some breakfast to-
gether."
"Fihe," said Daphne. ''Wem go to
the Biltmore."
"Kind of expensive. isn't it?" he
asked anxiously.
"It's my treat" she said.
This amused him enormously. $50
you're going to treat, eh?'
"Yep," she said.
"Where did you get all the money!"
"Tm working lady now"
He laughed again and shook his
head over her.
''What did you mean by saying you
were a working lady?" said Wesley
when they were seated at the table
and breakfast was ordered. "Your
mother wrote me something about hav.
ing a little disagreement with you.
She seemed to be right worried, so
thought I'd better run on to see If
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 watchwUrd:
II don't want to take any more money
from you"
'FWhy, honey" he protested, 81 love
to give it to you. only wish had
ten times as much. I couldn't dream
Of letting you work. You're too pirty.
What's that young Wimburn cub mean
by letting you work?"
"Oh, he's bitterly opposed to it, so
I gave him his ring"

bank account for you; so ran over to
this bank at the lunch hour and made
deposit to your credit-five hundred
dollars!"
Leila forgot her jewelry for a mo.
ment in this new pride. She strutted
about with mock hauteur, waving Mrs
Kip and Daphne aside and saying
"Don't speak to me. am lady with
a bank account"
Mrs. Kip sighed in dreary earnest

Leila was porting over her bank book
the blank pages in which SO many dra'
mas. tragedies and life histories could
be codified in bald numerals.
Her first question was ominous: 'sDc

Her first thought was already to at
tack the integrity of her store.

some Of 1t for a while. Maybe you
can save me from a crash some day.
Anyhow, 1t will be great help to me
to feel that I have thrifty little wife
at home. A man has to plunge a good
deal in business. It's his wife that
usually makes him, or breaks him."
Bayard spoke with unusual solem-
nifty: "Old Ben Franklin said, "A shil-
ling earned and sixpence spent, for
tune. Sixpence earned and shilling
spent, bankruptcy'-or something like
that. But Moses got ahead of him.
When he handed down the Ten Com
mandments he whispered an extra one
to be the private secret Of the chosen
people,"
"What was it?" said Leila with a
minimum of interest.
'Thou shalt not spend all thou earn
est" said Bayard. cit was-well, 1t
was the Thirteenth Commandment,
guess-a mighty unlucky one to break.
The Jews have kept it pretty well.
They've been the bankers Of the world
even while they were prosecuted"
Leila shrugged her handsome shout
ders and studied the gems.
"Let's not talk about it tonight.
Let's dine somewhere and go to the
theater. I want to show off my new
sp1endor."
"Fine!" said Bayard, trying to cast
away his forebodings and lift himself
by his own boot straps. "Get on your
buds mother, you and Daphne"
81 can't co." said Daphne. give got
to be at the fun-factory at half past
seven and I've hardly time to eat any
thing"
While Leila and Bayard and Mrs.
Kip were putting on their festal robes
Daphne was eating alone hasty meal
brought up tardily from the restau-
rant.
Before they were dressed she had to
march out in what she called her
working clothes. The mailman ran to
call her q taxicab, but she shook her
head. Her humble twenty-five dollars
week would not justify 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
property man over the responsibility
for broken vase. He ignored her till
at length she ventured to stammer:
"Here am, Mr.. PATTERSON"
$50 see. Well, sit down some
where"
Finding a 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 fight.
Members Of the company strolled in,
paused at the mailbox and went to
their various cells.
Eventually Patterson found that ali
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
unlimited poor relation. The members

She was crying with all her might.
Gradually she realized that ,Duane's
hands were on her shoulders. He was
squeezing them as if to keep her from
sObbing herself to pieces. His face
was close to hers, and he was muir

PACKARD PLAN
MAY HIT ROCKS
IN THE SENATE
League Legislators Chary Of
BestOwing Unlimited Pow
er on One Man
CONSIDERING TAX BILLS

The fond ambition of Farmer Frank
Packard to become the sole tax.making
power in the state OF North Dakota
may strike the rocks in the senate.
While Farmer Frank succeeded in
jimmying through the league caucus
a bill abolishing the present tax com
mission and providing that there shall
be but one tax commissioner, incident
ally giving Farmer Frank salary
boost of $1,000 per, annum, there is
no certainty that the senate in this
particular respect will follow league
dictation. .t
The senate, tax committee has been
Ic0nsid ering some of the Packard bills,
and It is a ttrifle astOunded by the un-
limited power which would be confer
red by these upon Mr.. Packard. The
senate was willing to confirm Pack
ard as one member OF board OF
three. 1t doesn't relish the idea OF
making him sole dictator, with no
brakes. t' ~.
The senate tax committee Tuesday
continued its discussion OF the Non
partisan league income tax bill. which
provides for graduated tax upon
carmel and unearned incomes and
three per cent tax on corporations.
George E. Wallace and II. H. Steele
OF the tax commission again were be-
fore the committee to discuss provis-
ions of the bill.
Prof. G. Roylance, the leagues tax
expert. consented to minor changes
in regard to exemptions. A taxpayer,
If single, will be allowed an exemption
Of $1,000, and if head Of a family, $2,-
900. Under the bill as drawn, a man
living with his wife or a woman liv-
ing with her husband was allowed ST.
900 exemption, but there was no pro
vision for such exemption if either
was dead. so the committee will amend
it to read head of family"
While the committee gave no indi-
cation as to what it will do, it is ex-
pected that the three per, cent cor
poration tax will be eliminated.
S. B. "A, relating to the question OF
exemptions from general property tax,
and S. B. Al, taxing oil companies on
gross earnings, were considered this
morning. .~-, " ~.
The committee will not vote on
changes and reports till all of the tax
bills have been considered. s a

that developments Of the last two
