just beyond her toes, and fixed on it.
So, she sat very quiet, and stared,

realized that she couldn't think SEN

pened during the hectic days were
not sensible things-any of them.

time ago-before she had to make
her own way about and compete
with other girls with the ones who
were on the square, as well as
those who weren't. She gradually
lost her sense of submissiveness
then. Whoever criticised her, ex-
cept herself, was wrong. AS her

more accustomed to giving more

scented herself to Mr.. Graydon's sec
rotary. She just wanted to talk to
him again, she explained, and to let
him see her.
The boss" of yesterday made her
understand that he was her friend"
of today, and all days. He thanked
her, gently, for stopping in, and
hoped that she would come in, often.
But he would not give her the thing
she asked. Advice. Something that
would be hint to her of what was
expected of her; of what she should
do to carry out the wishes, or the
plans, of her unknown benefactor.
II have been cautioned by your
banker, Eggleston," he said, that
must not pretend to advise you. Not
now, at any rate. Mr.. Egglestop is
emphatic in saying that a condition
that went with the money was that
you solve your own problems. After
awhile, perhaps, some of the severity
of the ban may be lifted. Just now
I mustn't Interfere"
Am 1 just to take all this money
and go out and spend it, them" Jo-
anna persisted.
Just go out and spend it-some
way. I suppose that is the one way
Of repeating that you may do with
1t whatever you wish"
So naturally that she did not know
that she was doing it, she began to
tell him about Cohen, and Mrs. Ad-
ans, and John. Suddenly she hest
taded, and was abashed. But all
that doesn't interest you, does it?"
she apologized.
The gray man had been watching
her intently; almost eagerly. He
treasured her quickly. "On the con-
trary, Joanna, that is just what 1
mean, it does interest me tremen-
dously. Won't you go on-about
John? You Strengthened him out,
hope, and it's quite all right, now?"
mo" Joanna replied, her voice
quavering a little. II didn't. and it
isn't. I'm afraid it's all crooked in
his mind"
What are you going to do about
it?"
"Just let it stay crooked, I guess.
Crooked things that ought to be
straight must get that way by them
selves, I think. If they have to be
hammered out, they're only nlakes
believe" She was silent for a min
ute, then added so suddenly that
Graydon was sure she hoped to catch
him off his guard.
What would you do about it if
you were in my placer"
He smiled. THAT Is one of the
very things I mustn't advise you
about But I shall want to know,
very sincerely, when it begins to
straighten out-and see what hap
pens then. 1 shall be interested in
John"
"Well, that's more than I am,
right now" the girl retorted. She
was restless under the keen scrutiny
with which Graydon was suddenly
observing her. She was still I'M
comfortable when she said goodby to
him. She had intended to ask him
what part in her affairs he thought
Brandon was to play. But she con-
cluded that she would have to find
that out for herself, too. 1t was then
that she resolved that perhaps Bran
don could show her the way to go, as
well-better, perhaps, than John.
