CHAPTER XIV.


Silas Gage had been hurt in an
accident at the factory. His power
full back almost broken by truck
load Of ploWs.
Hell have to lie fiat in bed for
months" wrote Amanda. "The doc
tor doesn't know if he'll ever be able
to work again. It's terrible, Nancy.
We haven't saved anything and his
compensation money won't any
more than pay for the groceries.
I'm glad you've had your train
ing in San Francisco. You can
probably find a nice position by
now. If you can support yourself
for a while maybe we can manage.
But you'd better stay there, because
know there's nothing here you'd
want to do"
Nancy's first thought was for her
father. Her cheeks paled as she
pictured him lying crushed and
helpless. How selfish she had been!
Accepting everything he offered and
sometimes complaining because 1t
wasn't more.
Now when he was i'll and needed
it so badly he had no bank account
to sustain him. She would take the
first train home and help nurse him.
She could imagine how Amanda's
puttering ministrationS would in
furiate him.
Nancy would read to him by the
hour, rub his poor back. d.
She had dragged her clothes from
the closet before the latter part Of
her mothers information registered.
Then she took up the letter and
reread it, thoughtfully. She couldn't
go home. For two reasons! Amanda
admitted that they were unable to
support her any longer and Nancy
had not the price of a ticket.
This forced her to look at the
situation from an entirely differ
ent angle. She COULDN'T go
home.
Sitting in the midst of her dis
ordered room, facing window
which opened on endless rows of
other windows, Nancy considered.
Was she down-hearted? NO! This
merely meant the necessity of &C
ceptirg position.
That one would be Immediately
forthcoming she did not doubt. She
had less than SO in her pocket
book and her room rent was already
two days overdue. But this was not
an age when people starved to
death. One had more or one had
less, but one always managed"
Tomorrow she would go to her
teacher at school and confess that
she was in temporary financial
straits. No doubt he would be able
to suggest some remunerative en-
ployment.
He might even insist that she con-
tinue her lessons without pay. She
had heard of such generosity in
cases where the pupil had decided
talent. Of course, she wouldn't say
she had that exactly, but her voice
was very sweet. Everyone
at home praised it.
Finally she moved to the library
table, which served as desk, and
wrote an affectionate letter.
Don't worry about me, darling!
can take care Of myself beauti-
fully. Tell father how sorry I am.
Perhaps it won't be as bad as the
doctor thinks. I'm going to see
about a position tomorrow. My
teacher will probably be glad to
help me. Be sure to let me know
how you get along. Your loving
NANCY.
A gallant letter! Drawer than she
realized. For she had no concep-

mind taking her for a ride instead?
He agreed, instantly solicitous. Was

cident," she said, winking to keep
back the tears.
why, Nancy, I'm awfully sorry
Was he hurt badly?"
She conFded the results of the
mishap, adding, 81 want to go home,
but mother asked me to stay here
Not a word about her financial
predicament. Time enough for that
later if an explanation were neces-
sary. Jerry was sympathetic and
considerable.
He took her home, feeling much
comforted. But, as she hurried up
the stairs, her landlady opened the
living room door.
Miss Gage, your room rent is
overdue. Have you forgotten?"
mo! Oh, mol" Nancy replied.
cheerfully. I'm going to pay it,
Mrs. Watson"
"All right, dear. I thought 1t
might have slipped your mind.
You're usually so prompt"
Nancy thanked her and tripped
lightly on. Perhaps she should have
explained. No doubt Mrs. Watson
would be reasonable. But
no! Better to wait. She would
know something definite by tomor-
row.
After she had gone to bed she
couldn't keep from thinking about
her father. Much of his surly' gruff-
ness had been on the surface. I'm
derneath his sarcastic manner was
an affection which had never failed.
Nancy had resented his attitude
to her mother, but Amanda'S apollo
gies and evasions must have been
extremely annoying to man of mis-
directness. At any rate, she found
excuses for him now, dabbing at
her eyes with damp, little hand
kercheif.
He had produced money for the
trip to Virginia, which neither she
nor her mother had expected. He
had championed her choice fof Eric
for a husband, donating a trouSseau
fund of his own accord.
Even after she had run away he
had managed to finance her study
ing in San Francisco. Her poor
father! It would be hard
on Amanda to take care Of him, but
it would be torture for him to en-
dure it.
She must get something to do
right away. And as soon as possible
she would send them some money.
For the first time in her life
Nancy Gage was shedding tears over
the troubles of some one else.
The next morning Nancy sought
her teacher at the College of Music.
Explaining rather vaguely that f.
nancial reverses compelled her to
stop her lessons.
ct thought" she finished, conf
IDENTIFY, "that you could probably
suggest something for me to do"
1t was the same man who had
clumsily tried to hold her hand a.
few months previously. His eyes
held no hint of sentiment now.
What do you want to do?" he
asked, briefly. What can you do?"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-06

ooh, something with my voice, of
courset There must be lots OF po-
Sitions."
1T haven't heard Of any. To be
perfectly frank, you haven't a con-
cert voice, Nancy. And you've had
no experience"
do you mean you think I can't
support myself with my voice?"
st wouldn't say that" he returned,
politely. Determination and per-
sistence are three-fourths of any
game. And if CAN be Of any as
sistance I shall be only too
happy"
"But you don't know of anything
now?" she insisted.
mo, I don't! My advice would
be for you to go home"
She walked from his Office with
cheeks flaming. Determined to
prove what she could do. She
scanned newspaper ads, she tried
to register at a musical and dra-
matte agency, but was forced to
change her mind when she dis
covered they required)a registration
fee.
On the third day she even went
into church and aswed the smart
ly dressed assistant to the pastor if
they needed any one to sing. They
didn't. But in any case all that
was arranged by the director of
music.
l Nancy took his name and address
and pursued him for one whole:
afternoon to be told kindly that
they used only prominent artists.
Their music was "a speciality" +. d.
She went home, exhausted. Was
it possible that she was not going
to be able to find anything to do?
Anything NICE?
She found a note from Mrs. Wat
son on her dresser.
Miss Gage, will you please pay
your room rent toight? If not, I
shall have to ask you to leave. I'm
sorry, but it's not fair to my other
girls nor to me. I have bills which
must be paid and a chance to rent
your room right away"
Nancy sank upon the bed. Not
exactly frightened yet! Because
she didn't think girls were really
put out on the street with no place
to go. Surely if she explained to
Mrs. Watson
But what was there to explain?
Save the bare fact that she was I'M
able to pay for her room and would
be so indefinitely Besides she
loathed asking a favor of a woman
like that.

We Nominate Commander Ryrd

Before Commander Byrd hoped off for Europe

Bennett. who would have been pilot Of the America
but for accident.
On the night before the start. Byrd made sure
that all his companions got some rest though he
took none himself
Before, during, and after his trip to Spitzbergcn
and his nonstop flight to the pole and back, Byrd
gave every credit to the volunteer crew which he
declared over and again made possible his ex-
petition.
Rather than land and probably hurt some peo-
ple.' said Commander Byrd in narrating his har-
rowing transatlantic flight through blackness. 81
decided to sacrifice ship and come down in the
ocean,
Acts OF this kind reveal the true character Of
this man as no biographical exposition could do.
There is nothing of t1eiboaster publicity seek
ing advcnturer about Commander Byrd. He up-
holds the best traditions of Virginia aristocracy
from which he comes the navy in which he was
schooled, and the perfect American gentleman which
he exemplifics.
Byrd's service to his country will be greater tina,
mere feats OF daring. He is born diplomat whose
name should be among the first to be considered
when this country has need Of an ambassador of
goodwill TO any corner of the globe.

Judges and Their Paw

Down in Minnesota the other day, the state SUI
preme court overruled lower courts decision and
thereby aided the cause of increased pay for dis
trict judges. The bill increasing the pay was
passed by the last legislature and sent to Governor
Christanson. In line with his sonorous Economy
pledge. he vetoed the measure. But he made one
mistake. He held the bill four days. One of them
was good Friday. and he claimed that didn't count,
SO he was legally within his rights and the bill was
dead He was sustained by the late Judge C. w.
sStanton of Bemidj to tsssthe case. Then the SUI
preme court overruled Judge Stantons decision.
1t SO happens that because the governor also ex-
ercised his economy" budgeon on appropriations
there is not enough money in the state treasury to
give the judges their increase at once They must
wait until 1922 but then they will get all the back
pay that is coming to them.
AS residents of neighborng state, it has often
seemed to many North Dakotans that Governor
Christianson carried his economy program little
too far. Some needless expenses he did cut out,
but his veto Of the pay raise was mistake.
Minnesota now undoubtedly has an able judiciary
and this increase in pay should help in keeping the
able men in office instead Of finally sending them
back to private practice, thing which often hap
pens under the present salary system
