ious Billy Goat Lane. From the up
per windows of their house. Verna
could pause in her busting and scrub
bling to straighten up and look down
and across town at the mean little
settlement she called home.
The comparison of the way she
and her family lived and the way the
RichlandS lived made her thoughtful.
Why should there be such differ
ence? None of her employers seemed
to raise their hands to do bit OF
work of ,-ly kind. and yet they had
everything they desired. She slept
between blankets while they Slum-
bered. mid perfumed linen. Her bed
chamoer, shared with her five BROTH
ers and sisters, was a junk shop OF
rags and trash of all kinds, while
their boudoirs were emaculate. glls-
tening, airy and taStefully decorated.
miss Richland," she asked the old
est daughter one day, do you tnlnK
I'll ever be able to have pretty things
like you all got here?"
The young lady smiled indulgently
and patted her maid on the shoulder;
"Why, of course you can, Verna,
she replied, "if you want to nave
the..l. You're so beautiful, Verna,
that 1 should say you could nave
anything"
"What do I have to do, Miss Rich
land?" -
develop yourself, child. Learn to
dress. to make the very best OF What
you possess: and keep a cool head.
Don't give in to the first man that
comes along. Remember, Verna,
you've got long life ahead: You
can ALWAYS get man, my chlld. put
it is hard to get the right kind. Don't
be satisfied with anything less than
the best, and men will see that you
get the best. Keep them all al, arms
length, examine them all closely ana
then choose the one with the most
money. Because you can't have me
clothes and pretty SURROUNDINGS uns
less you have money and plenty OF
it," .,,o,o
Verna thought about that whole
lot, 1t thrilled her to picture herSeH

servants at her beck and call ana a
closet full of shimmery.. sparkling
gowns and dainty little painted SHOES.

dress or deport themselves in keeping
with their peculiar charms. never
really examining themselves objec-
lively and carefully, never attempting
to improve what charms they pos
sess, but vainly crying in anguish
because no gay Lothario comes WOO
ing.
Whatever men said about Verna's
beauty and about the magnetism of
her personality and about the hyp-
motto compulsion of her wide. black
eyes. she drank it in and locked it
safely in the vaults of her memory,
not to gather the dust of age and in
action. but to be used to her advan-
tage. again and again.
Her job as maid of all work for
the Richland family helped in the de-
velopnfent and education OF Verna.
The Richlands were the wealthiest

the whole county. Their stately ID

by the way" he said carelessly, as
the lift moved upwards, have YOU
seen Mrs. Carlisle lately?"
mo Sir-that is" the operator add
ed, mot since she went up about
two hours ago."
"And MIR. Carlisle-have you seen
him?"
The young man expertly brought
the car to stop at the fourth floor.
Haven't seen him for a week." he
added. "but then. he uses the stairs
most of the time"
Holcomb chuckled lightly. "The
lady prefers the lift. and the gentle
man prefers the stairs, eh?"
Nine out of every ten times, the
operator returned. and fell swiftly
out Of sight.
Hubert Holcomb rang the doorbell
Of apartment sixteen, and studied the
pattern in the carpet at his feet. He
would have a little talk with Mrs.
Carlisle Already he was wondering
what sort of person she waS-a good
actor? = crafty? - or really harm
less?
Yet, even as these possibilities
passed through Holcomb's mind, he
became conscious of an awful silence;
a different kind of silence No foot
falls came from within: nor twist Of
the knob-iust silence! 1t was sud-
denly as if some great tragedy lay
behind that door: something that
was already Juggling at Holcomb's
sense of adventure.
He produced his pipe and stood
there. By all reasonable deductions,
Mrs. Carlisle should have been in her
apartment: she should have, unless
she used the stairs lately, responded
to her doorbell And if she had used
the stairs within the last two hours
why?
