 The steps to the mansion were long and as Betty traveied up them strange memories fitted through her mind. How her father had had nervous breakdown in New York. "Too much Wall street." the doctor said. How the family. consisting of Mir. and Mrs. sGrey, Betty and little Ruth had found the Italian factory. And finally how the two sisters had allowed six boys from the factory to come to the Grey mansion every day to learn their X. B. cs.

 The little fellow turned around to keep thR "other guys from seeing tears in his eyes.
