by that time. There was something didn't

tells me:
This is no place for an American grill
How'd you come here?'
II told him all about the contract I'd signed
to dance there. And told him about Teddy,
and everything else I could think Of. He
was a comfort in the midst Of all those funny
people. He didn't smell of perfume, and he
had on plain white clothes, and they were
clean around the collar and cuffs Different,
that's all. While was talking he sat there
looking at me with his eyes half shut like
he was sizing me up. And every now and
then he'd nod his head. Once I heard him
muttering something about: My first assay
would be-pure gold!' And / got scared; I
thought that he was crazy, too. But when
he saw how I was getting as far away in
my chair as I could. he laughed-f1rst time
he'd laughed. And I noticed that his nose
stayed quiet while he was laughing, instead
of working up and down like the dagos' noses
did. And his eyes laughed, and the dagos
eyes don't laugh. That made me trust him.
He told me that he was a mining engi-

talking he told me what kind of place it was.

Il never would have got out Of there whole

I burn candles in the church for that man!
He explained it all to me; just what BUSH
ness Teddys friend was up to, shipping girls
down to the dance halls in South and Central
America. But I didn't like to believe Teddy
knew what that friend of his was wishing on
me. The American thought he knew, and he
called him an awful word. felt mad-and
Sick-and told him that he was lying about
Teddy. But didn't believe he was lying.
And he was awful nice about it.; said he didn't
blame me for talking up for my friends! But
say! What men are friends to girls like me?
Never but one man was straight with me

DANCE halls in the States are supposed to
be respectable. They'll keep girls on that
they suspect lot about; but they bounce her
as soon as all the people outside the business
know about her. See? Everybody who went
to dance halls in New York knew I'd left ON
that contract; I'd been such a fool I'd told it
all around, trusting Teddy and his friend as I
did. That closed the doors of every place I
tried to get an engagement I've chased half

some place where they couldn't find out about
