, Jagged and her heart seemed to
skip beats.
She managed to drag herself up
stairs without letting the sharp
eyed landlady see her. She lighted
the little spirit kettle she used to
boil water for tea.
Before she had had time to blow
out the flame, knock sounded and
the knob turned softly.
Lame put her hand to her throat.
A dark mist danced before her
eyes and the room began to recede.
She had no sensation Of falling.
Only as in dream, she heard
mans voice saying peremptorily,
Catch herl She's going, surel"
Lame had heard that voice be-
fore. She was too tired just then
to remember whom it belonged.
A FTER a long, long while she
Nawoke. She was in a white room
and there was a spot Of sun on the
ceiling. A dizzy spot of sun. 1t
wavered back and forth.
Lane felt the coverlet carefully
with her fingers. 1t did not feel in
the least like the thin, gray, anti
septic smelling blanket at Mrs. Ker-
weren't SO aWfully tired, she would
weren't so awfully tired, she would
open her eyes again and see what
it was like. Later, perhaps she
would do that.
There was something else the girl
wanted to clear up in her mind,
something she would put all her at
tention on when that foggy feeling
left her. She had heard a man
say, Catch her. She's going"
Going where? That was what she
wanted to know.
Somewhere far off clock struck
7. Lame tried to struggle up. Be
late for work. That never would
do.
A cool hand explored her wrist
until she could feel the beating of
her own pulse. This was an odd
dream. Curious she couldn't fight
her way out Of it. She relaxed and
lay still.
A voice was murmuring very
low, "case of malnutrition. She
heard another voice answer. All!
That was the one she'd wanted to
remember. Whose was it?
She could almost see the face of
the man to whom the voice be-
longed. Almost, but not quite.
Queer, how memory failed when
you needed it most!
ME low voice came very close
| 4 to her ear now, and said, "Open
youth mouth now, like a good girl
and drink this" Obediently Lame
did as she was told.
She felt something that must be
a small glass tube. The LIQUID trio
king into her parched throat tast-
ed like warm milk. She slipped it
gently. After a minute she choked
and gaSped, Tired"
Then the clear voice said, SYM
pathetically: Il know. I'll take it
away for a bit. Then you'll try
again like a good girl, won't you?"
She tried to nod, but you couldn't
nod when you were lying down.
The owner of the clear voice
seemed to know what she meant.
That's right" the voice said.
That's splendid"
When next she woke there was
orange juice slipping down the glass
tube. Heavenly, it tasted. Shed
heard of nectar and ambrosia. 1t
could be no more delightful than
the cool orange juice trickling down
her throat.
This time when the hand took the
tube away Lame managed to say
three words. She wanted most aw-
fully to say them. They seemed
at the moment frightfully impor-
tant. She said, God is good"
To her surprise two great tears
rolled from under her lids and be-
gin softly to run down her cheeks
The hands wipe hem away.

He turned, frantic, back to her
room. She had left everything
her rings, her jewels, every trinket
he had given her. He held the
pearls to his lips for a moment.
Almost he could imagine they still
were warm with the warmth Of her
throat.
THE girl walked for hours, shiv-
Il ering IN the wind. She wore
the oxford suit which remained
from her wardrobe of the winter
before. 1t had been good, even
fashionable, once. 1t had belonged
to Elsie. Now 1t was a tr1fie out
NODDED, shabby.
She wore a pair of low-heeled
shoes dating from the old days in
the apartment. Her undertakings
had been part of her trosseau.
Everything else she left behind.
Her hat had been paid for with
Gives money, but she realized she
would cause comment on the street
If she were bare headed and she
had no choice. She departed empty
handed as she had come. Pride
stood her in good stead. She would
ask nothing from the man she had
treated so badly.
Even her check books had been
left in the little secretary in her
boudoir. She had drawn $50 the
day before to tide her over until
she found work. This she resolved
to pay back from whatever money
she might earn.
She went by subway to Pennsyl-
vania station and from there took
a train to a small city in Jersey.
She bought a cheap bag, night
things and a tooth brush. On one
of the clean, quiet side streets she
found a ROOM She had mailed a
letter to her mother from New
York.
Don't worry" she had told Cass
II shall be all right. I need to get
my bearings. I'll let you hear from
time to time how I am getting on"
She slept uneasily that night in
the strange, narrow bed. Gone were
the down comforts, the linen sheets.
the bizarre tiled bath where hot
water rushed from gilded spigots.
Gone the scented salts, the big ala
baster bowl with the enormous
powder buff.
The next morning of her awaken
ing was a dreary one. 1t had rained
all night and the patch of sky she
could see from her window showed
gray.
Lame washed, shivering in the
skinny bathroom with oilcloth on
the floor. She dressed in her
comfortless room and Jared forth to
eat a solitary breakfast in tiled
lunch room. She counted her re-
sources and WINGED to find them sad
ly dwindling.
How often she had wondered what
it might be like to be without
friends in a strange city! Now at
last she knew.
She went from place to place
seeking work. At noon, faint with
hunger and stumbling with fatigue
she wandered into a department
managers Office in a shabby big
store.
To her amazement she was given
work. She was to be a sales
woman in the stocking depart
ment at $18 week. Briefly she
figured on the back of an envel-
ope as she gulped a scalding cup
of coffee and nibbled an unappe-

GERMANY IS TOLD
TO DROP TREATY
REVISION POLICY
BRAND Informs Envoy France
Can't Make Sacrifices Un-
less Plan Is Abandoned.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

| BY Cable to The Star.
PARIS, France, June 24.-Even over
shadowing the French governments
action on the Hoover debt proposal in
some respects Is q new development
whose trend seems to be toward what
the French already call the Franco
German Chequers." Yesterday after
noon Foreign Minister Aristide BRAND
received German Ambassador Won
Hoesch and informed him that France
would be unable to make any sacrifices
to help Germany unless Germany defl-
nitely agreed to abandon It's policy of
treaty revision and antagonism to
France inaugurated. after the death Of
Gustav Stresemann.
DR.. Won Hoesch seems to have given
M. BRAND reassurances, and late last
night German Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening made a radio talk, heard
throughout Europe. in which he indi-
Gated that he would be willing to come
to Paris to consider comprehensive and
practical cooperation" with France.
Deadlock About Broken.
The deadlock which for just a year
has kept France and Germany apart
seems, therefore. now Is in a fair way to
be broken. If this should occur, 1t
would be big step toward pacification
of Europe and a remarkable example
of the constructive effect Of the Hoover
plan. It is more and more evident
that the French preoccupation has been
less with the actual loss in money
which France would have to agree to
this year. with the fear that Germany,
thus aided. would simply be strength
ened in its anti-French policies.
In order to understand this French
apprehension, 1t must be recalled that
the French were taught by M. BRAND
to believe that If they evacuated the
Rhineland. friendship with Germany
would promptly follow. The Rhineland
was evacuated just q year ago, but
what followed, far from Franco German
friendship, was a vigorous policy on
Germanys part of a demand for treaty
revision and q challenge to France
eliminating In the recent proposal Of
an Austro German customs union.
Consider They Were Duped.
The French consider that they were
duped in the Rhineland evacuation and
are determined not to be duped again
If they can possibly avoid 1t.
This is why they are so insistent on
political guarantees. Diplomatic sound
ings made yesterday indicate that Bel
GUM and Italy share the French view
point.
French feelings regarding the sudden
wav in which President Hoover launched
his plan without consulting them were
somewhat aSsuaged by the visit paid
by Ambassador Walter E. Edge to
Premier Pierre Laval last night. Mr..
Edge explained that there was no in
tention to slight France or force its
hand by confronting 1t with an ac-
complished fact President Hoover's

Then It developed that Herbert had

busily engaged in other important mat
ters, would perform the ceremony.

It is the opinion Of ranking officers
Of the military flying services that COM
mercial aviation has progressed to a
point which makes 1t unnecessary for
military planes to curry a bulk of the
flying at national air meets. The SER
viccS during the past few years have
gIAdually reduced the numbers Of

national races.
