hand to do a thing as long as she
lived.
Dorothy had boosted Of young Rich
ards admiration. She had told the
rest of the girls in the office that he
was easy, and that she intended to
marry him. They had laughed and
called her crazy. Things like that
happened only in plays or books. And
yet Dorothy had made good her boast,
and no matter what the Richards
thought about it they had been forced
to accept her.
Rosalind had remembered the flip
pant advice Dorothy had given the
girls in the office:
Make up your mind to marry
man, and no matter how much he re-
sists you, you'll get him in the end"
There had been more of that kind of
advice as well. Flippant remarks
about love being easily dispensed
with.

plenty of money" Dorothy had said

CHAPTER |.

Rosalind banged down the lid of the
desk that shut her detested type
writer out Of sight.
I'm through she announced to
herself dramatically.
1t eased her tense nerves to say
the words. even though she did not
speak them aloud, for what she
meant was not that she was through
for the day, but that she was through
forever.
She rose from her seat, f1exing her
tired muscles and stretching her long,
slim body. A feeling of power welled
up in her, and yet deep in her heart
there was a scared feeling, too. 1t
took courage to say those words, even
though they brought her d sense of
freedom. for. after all, how could she
be sure that nerve alone would bring
her the things she most desired? 1t
was one thing TO say I'm through,
I won't keep on with this drudgery
another day." but it was quite another
thing to go forth single-handed and
wrest from the hard-hearted world
everything that she wanted.
Rosalind walked to the window and
stood for a moment looking out over
the roofs Of the city. The city was
magical, but it's immensely was terri
fixing, it was alluring, even while it
repealed. Tonight it seemed like an
open-mouthed monster waiting to de-
YOUR her, and she was frightened be-
rause of the words she had spoken.
But she had said them and she had
meant what she said. There was no
going back now.
The thought had been waiting in the
back Of Rosallnd's mind ever since
Dorothy King had left to be married.
Dorothy had worked in the Office with
Rosalind. She was pretty in the pert
way, and her blond hair was really
lovely. But she was a flutter-brain.

how important shoes could be-and
what relatively important role they
could play in the well dressed woman's
wardrobe. If she looked over the ac-
counts of the woman OF today she
would find nothing shocking about her

spends on jewelry, and she would be
perhaps surprised to see how little
she spends on gloves-that is of
course if she realized how much dearer

realizing that, she would probably be
perfectly aghast at the amount spent

Short skirts and dancing have of
course brought about this state of

ornate shoes and make impossible the
wearing of shoes that have grown

FINDER Of CANCER
GERM IS SELF-MADE
w. Z. Gye Rose From OBJ
scurity to Fame by Un-
firing Energy.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 16.-A few days ago.
before the announcement of the sup
posed cancer germ discovery, the
general public had never heard of
William Ewart Gye and his personal
modesty has since impelled him to
keep silent. Consequently those en-
gagged in satisfying the popular curl
osity had to And out his antecedents
from other sources.
The information they now offer
the newspaper readers is not alto
gether harmonious, but it is well
established that DIR. Gye rose from
complete social obscurity to his pres
ent eminence solely through his own
ability and energy.
The son of a humble railroad work
man named Bullock, in a Derbyshire
town, he attended the public elemen-
tary school. which he was forced TO
leave at the age of IA to earn his own
living.
Worked for Low Wage.
Various stories are told regarding
his employment at this time. One
writer says he was a packer in a
cycle factory and another a railroad
porter, but at any rate he worked for
very low wages.
However, he had a great ambition
and at the age of II he began earnest
ly studying to satisfy his thirst for
knowledge. He soon determined to
become a doctor and devoted all his
spare hours to studying such few
books on science as his savings en-
abled him to buy in the secondhand
stalls. He made rapid progress.
After some years of struggle in ad-
verse circumstances, during which he
often went hungry, he was able to
come to London to continue his
studies, being helped, according to one
story, by a small unexpected legacy.
Winning the degree of bachelor of
science in London University, he re-
turned to the country and taught in
small schools.
Took Medical Degree.
Industry and economy enabled him
eventually to gather sufficient funds
to enter Edinburg University, where
he took his medical degree in 1912
and where he became especially inter
ested in the study of cancer.
During the war he served with
field laboratory in France and Italy.
His abilities attracted the attention
OF his superiors and led to his appoint
ment to the Medical Research Coun-
Gil, where he has worked since the
armistice. He recently changed his
patronymic of Bullock for Gye.
