Upward or Down?

CHAPTER XXXV.
Upward or Down?
Eva said: you might as well
forget her. She's on her way.
Chiclxie answered.: YES"
But for days she thought of
Elena. She kept seeing the young
eyes, frightened, yet defiant, as
the girl walked down the steps Of
the hospital. carrying the baby.
Where had she gone? Would
anyone offer her a place? What
was going to become Of her?
What became of the dozens who
were like her and went out into
the world with the same hopeless
burden?
Could they stand up against it?
Oh--how? And it seemed now to
Chickie that the whole world
ached with pain that was as great
as hers, But no one cared no one
bothered to relieve 1t.
Now, passing a young girl with
a baby, she stared at them. She
thought pittingly: "Oh, you, too?"
1t was Saturday /. afternoon
three weeks later. Chickie had
been working as substitute with
an insurance company. Eva came
to lunch. She said: Remember
that little Spanish girl, the one
who had the baby? I know where
she is"
Chickie wouldn't rest till Eva
agreed to go with her and visit
the girl.
The house was one Of the
ancient adobes still clinging to
the. outskirts of the old plaza.
They went up q hill where the
One-story mud places stood on
three sides OF q neglected garden
and clothes lines stretched from
house to house.
A lean woman dry and brown
answered their knock. She be.
came instantly excited and poured
out a staccato TRADE in broken
English when they asked for
Elena Castenada.
you like see Lena? dunno.
She go. Go las week! No good
for me. Come here, bring baby,
eat mucho! No money! Not pay
one peso! Every day, oh she
goin' getta job! Oh sure! Manana
have plenty" The woman shook
out her blue calico apron:
"Manana no good I send her
She shut her lips obstinately
after this explanation and leaned
against the door with her bony
arms folded.
ChiclIie looked beyond her into
dark. narrow room, with an
earthen floor. But 1t was clean

pillow slips with deep fringe
of Spanish lace.
ting on the floor sucking an
enormous hunk of italian bread.
Chickie though she would win the
woman and began to talk gently
TO the youngster: Hello, little
fellow-who gave you those pretty
eyes! Come over here" The
mother was entirely Indifferent.
Then Eva said: You had no
right to turn her QUIT" Eva men
toned the police. It was like a
torch to gunpowder.
No right! Nice talk. But the
woman had her own children
eight of them to feed. Last Sat-
urday her husband lose his job!
Then she get mad! She say TO
Elena-go!
The drift of her outburst was
this-Elena had come to her three
weeks ago. She had promised to
pay SO a week. For this the
woman would give her board and
room and watch the CHILD while
Elena worked. She had gone out
every day, but she had got no job.
She had paid no money. And she

had been allowed to stay two
weeks. Then she was told to go.
Elena went, but late that night
they found her sleeping on the
porch. She had taken clothes
from the line and wrapped them
about the baby and herself. So
they push her! They push her
!. out
Whether they did this then or
waited till the morning, the wonI-
an refused to state. Anyway the
girl was gone. And they didn't
know where.
The woman finished contemptu-
ously: II dunno! What you think?
/ follow herr"
Eva said simply, well, that's
all then"
She and Chickie walked blocks
after that. Neither Of them spoke.
Finally Eva said, $50 ends chap
ter one"
Chickie's nerves were hot and
all on edge. Yes--chapter one.
Anyone could guess what other
chapters in that life would be.
The world expected the girl to go
down. It waited cynically for
this.
It came to Chickie with .
shock that in this Judgment she
and Elena were the same-that
she, too, was given up by the
world as one of the lost" She
had never considered herself in
this light before. She thought
OF 1t with a shamed, hot re-
sentiment. The world was, Of
course, mistaken in her.
That night there was letter
from Mary. Toward the end Mary
wrote: you've never answered a
word to the most important ques-
ton I've asked in months. Sure.
~ you must think of it, Chickia
surely you must think of COM

Chickie's heart. thumped. And
then she became suspicious. Why

Glorious thing to do! And
everywhere she turned have peo-
pie whisper. Look, there goes

And If Chickie smiled, If she
seemed ever glad: "Well! Brazen,
isn't she?'
Wilde was stretched regaily be.
fore her chair near the window.
Now, as she stood at the table,
he kept opening his eyes and re.
garding her, then shutting them
laZily. She said: "Ho, dog! They
think I should go home. ! And
that would be very glorious"
The mere prospect daunted her.
No. She was doing all she could.
All that anyone should ask.
She fell asleep that night with
smarting, resentful tears In her
eyes. Mary might talk! Indeed!
But in the morning she wax
/, ened uneasy and depressed. Mary
must have some reason for her
insistence.
Then Chickie grew afraid :.
and reading Mary's letter again,
every line became an accusation.
Chickie had run away. She didn't
need to think she was making
any kind Of a flight. She'd just
left the two old ones there to
bear II all.
Mary's letter ended like this:
1T suppose you think might
mind my own business, but I just
won't be able to bear 1t. Chickie,

What did Mary mean by that?

BRITAIN SIGNS
 TRADE TREATY WITH GERMANY
Berlin Making Economic Facts With All Eu-
 ropean Nations
Ueased Wire To The Age-Herald)

LONDON, Dec. 2.-Germany is de, liberately making herself the center o' o vast network of commercial treaues which. if carried to logical conciuslon will incorporate all of the old world info an economic bond wherein most favored nation" clauses would nullliS ,nony sections of the traiff laws III every country concerned.
 With surprising speed, England and Germany have just negotiated and s;cned a commercial treaty. The sigma tmras were affixed Tuesday. Meantime German delegates have arrived in Rome Cor tha nurpose of drafting a conner cial treaty in which 1t IS autnoritatiSeiy | started customs privileges VIII DC granted to Italian manufacturers.
 Reports that Belgium is on the verge of concluding a most favored nation treaty with Germany have been flying a aronnd for a fortnight. These reports have not been denied, and it is not foo much to believe that they are based on fact
 France Involved
 At this moment Franco-German negotiations are proceeding in Paris | The hath toward a commercial accord between the ancient enemies is rought uphill and uncharted, but some head way is being made. A major French demand is that certain preferences be granted to Alsace and Lorraine, two provinces which have become French politically but which must remain for many years economically closer to Berlin than Paris.
 The significance of the new Anglo. German pact is that it provides for most favored nation" treatment be- tween the contracting parties, thus compelling Germany, is she grants spe- cial privileges to Alsace and Lorraine, to give the same privileges to England. If the rumored treaty is concluded with Belgium, that country, too, would be able to demand and get every privi- lege granted by Germany to any other nation.
 Germany specifically pledges herself, in the pact with England, not to dis criminate against British textiles; and to abstain from discriminatory legisla- tion against British ships, particularly with regard to legislation compelling German emigrants to travel on Ger man ships.
 England Makes Concessions England agrees to remove destructions against German banking agencies in Great Britain to permit German sea men and stewards to serve on British ships, and to remove the restrictions against the Germans as former enc. mics, entering Great Britain. The German later treaty with another country, Germany agrees to reduction of her tariff against textiles, for in stance. English goods would automatic ally be accorded the more favorable | etrms.
 Moscow is the scene of another Ger. man effort to better industrial relations with neighbor. The Rappalo treaty provides the Soviet union and Germany with an intimate and vital economic link, and the document now being dis cussed will not replace the earlier ac. cord. Instead, the scope of the Rappalc treaty probably will be widened by | agreement.
