they grew, and the more they knew
of the social strata, the more sensi-
tive they had become, the more they
kept 10 themselves.
Since prohibition had come In IL
vas harder 10 get liquor, and their
fathers spent more and more money
On bootleggers and gaming tables.
Many "a time, when there was not
enough food in Lynda's home to keep
her from going 10 bed hungry, David
had shared what little be had with
her.
John Fcnton was a master az his
trade, but his drunken lapses had
cost him one job after another until
he was scarcely able to keep things
going.
III was David who had gotten Lynda
her job with Armitaee 4 Son after
her graduation from the high school
in both its commercial and literary
courses.
For nearly two years David had
been working Is secretary to Armi-
tage, senior. who, in reality, ran the
business. IL was only very recently
that young Armitage had come into
the ~cfficei consequently, David had
never met the son Of the elder man.
because just lately. at his own re-
quest. he had been transferred 20 the
sales force and had gone on the road.
All the girls in the outside office
had their eyes cut for him, realizing
that he was, Of all the younger
crowd. the coming man III the firm.

her lips. Lynda fell asleep TO awaken

quietly as possible. SO a. not 60 dis

Of bread and hastily drank a cup CT

the street chimed seven Still she

room. She hated 10 10 away with
out waking him. At last, when she
heard Davies whistle, she knew she
could wait no longer.
She left a low fire under the per-
colator, closed the door quietly, and
went out.
Soon Lynda caught UP with David
and. as the sun was shining, and
they were young. they could not be
unhappy long. .
They began 10 talk, ar all young
people do, about their ambitions and
their future. Lynda's arm was still
swollen and lame. but she told her
self she was not going to think about
il. She had put all the troubles on
yesterday behind her. and would only

Lynda Fenton, daughter Of John
Fenton, q periodical d~runkard, has
obtained her first job as a typist in
the office Of Armitage a. Son, fertile
manufacturers, only q few days be-
fore.
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 companion
is David Kenmore. whose father has
sung from prosperity TO poverty
through high living.
Learning accidentally that Lynda's
father has hurt her shoulder In "A

David Kenmore had always lived

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 20 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 dauzh-
ter Of "old drunken Fenton" il she
knew IL. but after her death David's
father began 20 gamble in stocks and
soon he was quite as poor rs hers.

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. 4
Now. after years Of hard work at
school, while the city's business
blocks steadily e~ncroached on both
homesteads, they were nj last on the
way to something which might make
their dreams come true.
David, who had started 70 work
two years before. already had made
a circle Of friends, who, for some
reason, looked askance TO Lynda:
she had yet TO learn that even in
these liberal days there are nan
things tolerated in a nan which are
not forgiven In a woman.
