CHAPTER XVIII

The next morning Nancy ap-
peared at the store at 9 o'clock. She
went directly to the handkerchief
counter. Sue was not busy and
greeted her cordially
"H'lo, Nancy! What are you do
ing downtown so early?"
ST came to ask you to help me, "
Nancy admitted, nervously. do
you suppose you could get me a
position here?"
Sue looked surprised, then wave
of sympathy swept her face.
Mother wrote me about the acct
dent. I'm awfully sorry. I would
have called, but you know you didn't
leave your number ,
st know it. I'm afraid wasn't
very nice"
ooh, that's all right" Sue an
swered warmly. "It 5 lucky you
came in today. You see, we're get
ting ready for a big SALE"
She went with Nancy to the
employment department, announc-
ing breezily: ",rhis is my best
friend, Miss Deane. Just out of
school, and she needs a position
badly. Can't you use her during the
sale? She's willing to work awfully
hard"
The gray-haired woman smiled.

will make good if she's given a
chance"
Flushed and embarrassed, Nancy
promised to return for the school"
at o'clock. She pressed Sues
arm gratefully.
you've no idea what this means
to me, Sue. I've tried everywhere.
They wouldn't take me without ex-
perience."
"My dear, don't I know it? I
lived with a cousin until I got my
job. For weeks I had to work just
on Saturdays until they could use
me all the time. But after this
sale they always keep lot of the
girls for the, fall trade. If you
really try, they'll be sure to keep
you"
She asked Nancy To go with her
for dinner.
IT can't" Nancy answered frankly.

my own room"
''Why, you poor kid! Is it as bad
as that? You come tosdinner with

Without considering a moment,
Sue cried eagerly: "See here, old
thing. won't you come and live with
me? The girl I've been rooming
with was married last week"
"But, Sue, don't you understand,
I haven't any money!"
"Sure. I'm asking you to be my
guest until the end of next week.
You'll be paid then. Never say die,
Nancy. You're going to learn to
love this work. It's the greatest
game in the world"
And once she had been embar-
raised because this girl had claimed
her friendship!
Nancy, returning at 8 o'clock, was
surprised at the good breeding ex-
hibited by the other applicants.
There was no loud-voiced CONVERSE
ton. Most of them quietly discussed
former positions. Nancy seemed to
be the only one without experience.
where have you been working,
Miss Gage?"
ooh, I'm from out of town." she
answered.
Sue had warned her Of that.
