Two young men waited for Gertie

her, not entirely because of her
beauty and grace, but because ne
believed her to be a really good girl.
In spite OF her surroundings. Like
many people he had held an idea
that n girl dong her work in her
surroundings was not n girl man
would want to marry. But he had
changed his mind. Gertie had been
80 natural, 40 adverse to anything
that resemblod looseness of any
sort. was so evidently n good daugh-
ter. that he had determined to see
more OF her. "go with her" as he
expressed It in his thoughts. and II
sho "panned out" why---one never
could tell. So he waited for her in
tending to insist upon taking her all

Then she saw Murphy. Just as he
stepped toward her, Len O'Connor
pushed him violently aside, saying
keep out of my way you!" Then
to Gertie: I'm take you home, Ger

of her arm.
DO you want him 10 see you
home, Miss Cummings" Murphy
asked. He had seen Gertle shrink
away. Not that she was afraid OF
Len. but she didn't like the look on
his face. She dreaded n repetition OF
his proposal and her mind was full
of other things-Tom Norris letter,
his coming, the new dress and hat
she was planning to buy on the NOR
row so that she might look nice for
him.
