Lynda Fenton. daughter of John

Just obtained her first job as typlst
in the office of Armitage & Son.
Ever since she has been able to I'M
derstand. her father has told her
that her mother mad deserted them
for a man who had more money
than he. and insists that every
woman has her price.
Lynda's one friend and companion
since childhood is David Kenmore.
who holds d position as salesman
with Armilage & Son.
At the office Lynda meets Emily
Andrews. who cherishes secret
fondneS for David. and Is conse-
quently jealous of her. Emily de-
cides to make it as uncomforta BILE
for Lynda as possible. 1t is just
dawning upon David that he is In
love with Lynda, although he has
imaeined that he is interested IN
Emily.
Returning home from the office,
Lynda finds that her father has de-

CHAPTER Y
A NEAR PROPOSAL

Against Lynda's silent protest
they went over the house together,
searching every nook and corner be-
fore they gave the check up as
lost
Lets don't worry about it any
more, Lynda said David. at last
IN go to the bank this noon and
stop payment. It's numbered. I'll
make out another. and even If by
one finds and cashes it, one hundred
dollars won't break me. Have you a
pen?". he asked. taking out his
checkbook.
But Lynda did worry. She was
sure she could not have been so
careless rs to have taken off her
dress without thinking of the check,
She kept going back to her bureau
drawer. She had vague feeling
that she put it there.
She wondered-and then she told
herself that she was wicked to have
te slightest suspicion of her father.
Sc made Up her mind that she would
take no more money from David,
and seeing i'm with his checkbook
open. answered:
Yes, / have a pen, but I'm not
going to let you give me another
check. Father left me twenty-five
dollars"
But that won't help much. Any
place you get room and board will
make such hole in your pocket
book that there'll be nothing left
around the edges
Impulsively Lynda made a sudden
resolution.
I'm not going to board and room
anywhere. I'm going to stay right
here"
You can't stay here alone. Lyn,"
said David, with more Impotence in
his voice than he had ever used to
her before.
Il don't see why. I've been alone
here many nights, as you know"
That's different, very different"
said David. and Lynda wondered
whether he was going to be "bossy'
with her.
III you do decide TO stay. you'll
have to get some girl to come and
live with you until can take you
away. 1t will only be a short time"
Take me away Whereo What
do you mean. David ?"
'Lyn. will you never wake up?
Can't you see that I love YOU"
The girl turned an almost coquet-
fish face toward him.
You lust awakened yourself late
ly. didn't you? Did Emily Andrews
do 1t for you. Davie?" Lynda was
sorry she said that as soon as the
words left her mouth. especially as
David said. honestly:
We'll, che made me see how much
nicer you are. if that's what you
