 Her father continually hurls in- suits at her and her mother, who, he has told her, ran away with a man who had more money than he. Lynda's one friend and compan- ion is David Kenmore. whose father has sunk from prosperity 10 pover- ty through high living.
 Learning accidentally that Lyn- da's father has hurt her shoulder in a drunken fir David bathes the inflamed arm. only to have her father come in and make some vile insinuations
 She is barely able 10 keep the two men from coming to blows. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER III
 EVERY GIRL FALLS FOR DAVID David Kenmore had always lived in the big house just around the corner-the house that had once been the pride of the town, but was now greatly in need of repairs: just as Lynda's home was but a wreck of the smart little cottage to which John Fenton had brought his dainty little English wife twenty years ago. Lynda remembered when Mrs. Kenmore was alive, Davie had not been allowed to play with the daugh- ter of "old drunken Fenton' if she knew it, but after her death David's father began to gamble in stocks and soon he was quite as poor as hers.
 Both children, when they became old enough to understand what made them almost universally summed by others of their age, talked the matter over and decided that some day, when they were older, they would build up both houses right. or else sell them and buy other and more beautiful homes.
 Now, after years of hard work at school, while the city's business blocks steadily encroached on both homesteads. they were at last on the way to something which nSsht make their dreams come true.
 David. who had started to work two years before. already had made a circle of friends, who. for some reason, looked askance at Lynda; she had yet to learn that even in these liberal days there are many things tolerated in man which are not forgiven in a woman.
 The last few years had been very hard for both of them. The older they grew. and the more they knew of the social strata. the more sensi- tive they had become. the more they kept to themselves.
 Since prohibition had come in il was harder to get liquor. and thoii fathers spent more and more money on bootleggers and gaming tables.
 Many time. when there was no enough food in Lyndals home tt keep her from going to bed hungry David had shared what little he haG with her.
 John Fenton was master at his trade, but his drunken lapses haG cost him one job after another. un, til he was >Sarcely able to keeI things going.
 It was David who had gotter Lynda her job with Armitage & Son after her graduation from tho high school in both it's commercial ard literary courses
 For nearly two years David hat been working as secretary to Armi tage, senior. who. in reality. ran the business. It was only very recent, that young Armitage had come int, the office: consequently. David hae because just lately. at his own re quest, he had been transferred tt the sales force and had gone or the road.
 All the girls in the outside offic, had their eyes out for him, realizing that he was. of all the younger crowd, the coming man in the firm
 With the words Dear Davie" or her lips, Lynda fell asleep to awak en early the next morning. Risini as quietly as possible, so as not tt disturb her father. she toasted piece of bread and hastily drank cup of coffee.
 The clock in the old church dowr the street chimcd seven. Still sh. heard no sound from her father room. She hated 10 go away with out waking him. At last, when sh, heard Davies whistle. she knew sh, could wait no longer
 She left low fire under the per colator. closed the door quietly. an, went out
 Soon Lynda caught up with Davi, and. as the sun was shining. an, they were young, they could no be unhappy long.
 They began to talk, as all voun, people, do about their ambitions an, their future. Lynda s arm was stil
