of the girls knew her story, and they
wouldn't give her away If they did.
(The two dancers were away just now
on tour with the opera, so she and
Babe had the whole studio to them
selves.) She wouldn't risk asking
Babe any questions, though, about
Martin. How well, she wondered, did
Babe know him7 The thing to do now
was to go to bed, and to be sound
asleep before she came home.
But she was only half undressed up
in one Of the little bedrooms that had
been partitioned Off the loft when she
heard the click of Babes key In the
studio door. She listened and felt her
skin pringle as she thought she recog-
nized the voice of the man who was
urging Babe to let him come in for
smoke. Babe was firm about 1t and
sent him away.
Rhoda put on her bathrobe and
slippers and came slithering down into
the studio.
"Who was that who brought you
homer" she asked.
"You ought to know, dearie," Babe
told her. Hes your friend, not mine.
When he found out 1 lived with you

home in his runabout, but it was John
Alden stuff I was doing all the time,
and I knew it."
"Was it Max Lewis?" Rhoda asked.
'None other, darling" said Babe.
II had forgotten you had two of them
on, tonight"
There was silence for moment
after that. When Babe spoke again 1t
was in different manner.
"He asked me one queer thing about
you, Red. He asked if your real name
wasn't Rhoda Mcfarland"

Russia's Great Railroad .

The great Trans-Siberian railroad
stretches from Chelyabinsk to Vladi-
vostok. There is a branch line from
Kharbin to Port Arthur. At the 9TH
er end it connects with the railway
to Moscow. The railroad crosses the
northeastern corner of Manchuria,
crosses the Altai mountains, circles
around the southern end of Lake
Baikal, turns north across to Kras-
noiarsk, then west to Omsk, and on
across the Ural mountains. 1t is not
now operated as a system as in the
days of the Russian empire, but its
sections are controlled by the sep
arate states through which the line
runs.

that must have been her mothers.
She opened 1t and looked in with the
Idea Of seeing whether her uncle's adj
dress was there, but as the trunk was
nearly full she decided against going
through it, She didn't much want to,
anyway. She took it, as it was, along
with her own small trunk in taxi to
convenient railway station. 1t hadn't
mattered much which station except
that it had to be one that had train
that went to Denver.
The next day she took her suitcase
with her to the funeral and went from
the cold little chapel straight back to
the station. She spent that night at
the Y. w. c. A., where nothing hap
pened except that by inadvertence she
picked her new name. She'd had one

seen what she was doing and stopped.
Well, Rhoda White made a good
enough name, and she was glad that
she hadn't discarded Rhoda. She'd
have felt lonely. deprived of-that.
The very next day she found a job
and met Babe Jennings The job was
at the News, where Florabel had told
her they took girls without experience
in the stenographic department and
trained them, themselves. If you were
good you had chance to be promoted
to be private stenographer or even
secretary to one Of the executives.
The only technical untruth Rhoda
told the employment manager was that
her name was Rhoda White.
Her acquaintance with Babe had
progressed slowly at first, and it
wasn't until she'd been working for
the paper six months that the older
girl approached her with a proposal
that they live together. Babe was ex-
cited about an ad she'd taken, Of
studio for rent cheap; unbelievably
cheap, seventy-f1ve dollars month.
It was really whole apartment; two
bedrooms and kitchenette, beside the
studio itself. Her scheme was that
they get two other girls and that the
four Of them should keep house in it,
getting, that is, their own breakfasts
and suppers. The other two girls were
dancers, members of the corps du
ballet Of the opera.
They taught her to dance-the other
girls had phonograph-and it be-

in perfect oblivion Of delight.
She liked her job and wasn't long
getting promoted to be special stenog-
rapher to one Of the younger men on
the executive staff. The only imper-
lection in her whole scheme of life
was the little tremor of fear she felt,
every now and then, that it was too
good to last.
There was no real threat, was there,
in Martin Forbes imaginary discov-
cries? She didn't know any one named
Lewis nor anyone who could be spoken

could be advertising for her was her
uncle. For all she knew he might
