CHAPTER Ii.
Delay Is a Friend in Time OF
Need.

Nlnette had but a few pounds in her
purse when she left Mrs. Cranford's
house. and she did not dare spend this
small nest egg until it became abso-
luteIy necessary. To find work at once
was imperative, and she set out reso-
lutely the first thing In the morning
to see what she could find TO do.
But finding work, even II one has
experience and can show good refer
ences, is not always easy. And for
Ninette, who had neither, 1t seemed
quite impossible.
Day after day she walked the streets,
looking for some kind Of employment
that would furnish the money to keep
soul and body together She sought
even the most mental work, and applied
for positions as dishwasher, scrub
woman-anything that would pay even
the smallest wages. Yet nowhere could
she find a Job.
Her little store Of money decreased
steadily. although she lived on the
plainest food and ate very little even OF
that. Even when times were hardest
she and Josh had never been so poor a
she was now. Lack of suitable nourish-
ment made her feel weak and tired
but she went determinedly on with her
search.
IL shall never be a burden TO any
one again. she told herself. as she
turned away from a shop where she
had hoped to secure work as a sales
girl. and went YEARLY down the street
Her purse was nearly empty. and for
the first time she gave In completely to
discoura cement. From the first hers
had been a losing fight: now there
seemed nothing for it but to give In and
die of starvation.
She paused on the corner to let
hanson cab pass. And then suddenly

The STORY Of NINETTE
BIZ RUBY M. AYRES
By RUBY M. YRES

I the world whirled around her. She
| CROPPED blindly for something to cling
! to, but her hands grasped only the
air, and reeling, she staggered backward
and lost consciousness.
At sight of her q man had jumped
from the hanson cab without even wait
ing for 1t to stop. He dashed across the
pavement and caught the fainting girl
In his arms, just as a crowd of inter
esting persons was beginning to gather.
What is it? Oh, she's tainted. Run
| for water, somebody" An irrepressible
little old lady had snatched hold of one
Of Ninette's hands and was patting and
rubbing It V gorously.
She'll be quite all right in a moment
! If you'll take care of her" the man
urged trying to force his way through
| the crowd to the hanson. But on all
| sides people hampered his progress in
sisting that various remedies be tried
| in order to restore the faintIng girl to
consciousness.
Here, what's all tbis?" It was a
! policeman who interviewed at last. Whats
the matter7"
J This young lady has tainted and I'm
trying to get her out Of the crowd and
take her home" explained the man, hold
ing Ninette close. IF you'll just make
these people stand aside and let me

she friend of yours?" demanded
the policeman.
Yes, surely-a relative. Her name is
Ninette Wheeler-and mine is Arthur De-
lay" he answered, reaching the hanson
at last.
And so Ninette, despite her resolve. be-
came a burden cnce more.
! But to Delay it never occurred to look
at her IN this light. He had spent many
miserable hours since he had last seen
! her. To him his love fo- her was an
all absorbing passion. He asked nothing
better than to take care Of her. in the
hope that some day she would reciprocate
his affection.
/ Losing track Of her after she left Mrs.
| Cranfords house, he had sought through
( out the city for Ninette. He feared that
she might be without money. and possi-
/ bly, i'll and helpless. His motive was a
selfish one Mt heart, and yet this made
his search no less painstaking.
And now, at last. by the merest chance,
he had found her when he had almo at
given up the search. He opened her
shabby little pocketbook and hunted oUt
slip Of paper bearing the address o.
her lodgings, which he gave to the driver;
then he settled hack with Ninette
propped up on the seat beside him, his
arm supporting her, and her head rest
ing on his shoulder.
Ninette had partly regained conscious
ness by the time they had ridden a few
blocks, but seemed to be slightly deliri-
Gus. She babbled unintelligibly, twist
ing her hot little hands together, and
sobbing in distress. Her cheeks were
burning with fever, and when she opened
her eyes theye were blank and staring.
Poor little girl" murmured Delay.

Why Don't You Come With

Arrived at the lodging house. Delay
carried Ninette to her room and instant
" dispatched the Iandlady for a doctor.
And while the physician talked with the
sympathetic woman, and prescribed for
the girl, Delay stood in the window and
starea' out over the desolate stretch OF
back yards and sooty roofs that had 80

she must have good care, plenty Of rest
and the best Of food, otherwise / doubt
whether she'll pull through. And on
no account is she to be allowed to worry"
As he left the room the laDdlady turned
to Delay, perplexed.

for all these Injuries to come from is
more than l can see. This poor lamb
hasn't a cent to her name, I'm afraid.
and she's so proud that I've never dared
ask to help her out-not that ! have
much myself"
IN take care Of that end OF IT," Delay
assured her promptly. IN gladly pay
for everything and If you can give all
your time to taking care Of hcr, II will
be worth your while to do so"
The landlady accepted Delay without
question, his intimatiOn that he was a
relative Of Ninette's, and had been with
her when she tainted on the street,
sounded convincing to that guileless soul,
and she made no attempt to ques II IN
him.
For weeks Ninette lay in a stupor, re-
lieyed only by attacks Of delirium. 1t
made Delays heart ache to hear her bah
Bile on the little disconnected scraps Of
comment, the appeals TO heaven to end
everything for her--gave him an insight
into the girls life that lie could never
have had otherwise
It was not always certain that she
would recover, even after her mind
cleared
She has no desire to get well, you
see" the doctor explained to Delay. "She
prefers to die, quite obviously. Some
thing must be done to rouse her from
this spathy, or she will never recover"
And so Delay made his frequent calls
even more frequent, and tried in every
way possible TO rouse some interest in
the girl.
Don't you care anything about me?"
he asked her one day. 'Couldn't you try
to get well just for my sake?"
"If you mean couldn't try to get well
and marry you, l couldn't she told him
I'm the first place. never could love you.

overly strong at that low poundage.
For business reasons. an invasion
