What He Was Looking for Was Job; He Found That and

second polite little boy showed me
the way up in the elevator to my
room.
1.-THE room was fit for a queen.
Flowers on the wall paper. pictures
in gold frames. A mirror, in three
parts. on the bureau, A threaded
needle In the pin cushion, a Bible on
a table, and oh. the most lovely sta
tionery in the desk. When you opened
the closet door a light came on. In
the bathroom there were three taps
one for ice water. And towels-I
never saw SO many. ! walked about
my room for oh, long time-just
looking at things and making the
| light come on in the closet"

GAM listened intently. What in the
world did it all mean?
AS though, with a sudden sensitive
ness. she felt his bewilderment, the
girl came out Of her rhapsodies.
Il wanted to do some shopping and
I asked the polite man downstairs at
the counter for good shop" the
| girl explained. HE recommended Del
mire & Smiths. 1t was the big
gest place l had ever been in. For

and round. And then I bought this
hat and three dresses; a blue one. a
pink one and a white one. 1 had never
had dress in my life that was not
gray or brown or black So I put the
pink one on and had them place
the two others in this box. They
offered to send them to the hotel for
me, but / would not let them. There
were a great many people buying
| things, and / was so afraid that
they'd get them all mixed up. I left
my old gray gown and my gray hat
| in the store and told them to give
| them to some poor person; for I had
made up my mind 1 would never wear
| anything gray again"
| Her voice sank with a solemnity
at this, as one who has taken a
! deliberate but epoch making resolu-
| ton, as she continued her narrative:
when l left the store it was not
by the entrance I came in: I tried to
find the hotel, but I couldn't. After
q while I realized / was lost. I went
back to the store and started twice
again. But by the time all the streets
| looked alike to me. And then I
| found that I had forgotten the name
of the hotel. 1t was a queer name
French, I think. l saw 1t in great
! printing over a basement door as
came out. But you see l was so
excited it passed right out Of my
mind
What street was 1t on?" Sam in
quired.
1T never occurred to me to think of
| that" Angel replied. 1T never oc-
Cured to me that I could get lost.
All I remember about the name is
that 1t began with c. Then came A.
| CA. I've been walking about this
| whole afternon trying to find 1t. 1
left most of my money in my room
S250-and I spent every cent of the
$50 that I took with me. When dark
came / did not know what to do. I
thought at first I'd walk the streets
all night. But 1 was beginning to
feel a little tired when l saw this
pretty park. If l can sit here until
morning-"
GAM pulled himself to his six feet
~ of muscular height and breadth
| with swift jerk.
You don't have to sit here all
| night he interrupted sharply. II
can find the hotel for you in a jiffy.
| Have you consulted the list of hotels
in the telephone book?"
Telephone book?' the girl repeated
| with a soft interrogation. II never
saw a telephone book. In fact,
have never used a telephone in all
my life"
Sam stared at her and thought
many things.
well, you can't stay here all
night he asserted. Now, II you
will come with me, I'll get a telephone
book and read the list of New York
hotels to you"
II shall be pleased to CO." the girl
said quantity, but with eagerness.
"You are kind to serve me-"
! He took her bundle and they turned
