upon that mountain right now"
That's true agreed Bill seriously. II
wouldn't want that to happen to my worst
enemy And.it would be fun trying to climb the
grade in the wreck. Come on-lets do it,"
They were off in an instant They raced up
the track to the Jameson pasture, and In
almost no time at all they had the wreck on
the track and ready to start its journey. Again
Bill cranked the engine while Perry handled the
gas and the choke Again the motor ran after
a period of doubtful sputtering. Bill released
the brake. Perry let the clutch in, and away
they went clicking along the rails of the
abandoned track.
Tor half-mie beyond the Jameson pas
ture the line was level. Then, after a couple
Of curves, it began to climb gently. Soon the
grade grew sitter, and before long they were
the mountain itself. But long before that
point had been reached Perry had opened
the engine wide to get running start and
they were tearing along the track at a great
rate.
I'll bet we're doing IS miles an hour" said
Bill shouting with difficulty into the wind.
I'll bet We are, too," agreed Perry. And it's
slightly uphill, even here. But before long We'll
slow down. Good thing we geared her fairly
low with those puleys."
AS the grade grew sleeper, the Wrecks speed
decreased, but the motor showed no signs of
falterng. The weight Of the handcar was much
less than that of the which the engine had
originally driven, and the ratio they had used
on their pulleys gave it plenty Of climbing
power.
The greatest danger they feared was that
the rails might have loosened or spread some
where along the line, for they had not been
taken care Of for many months. They real
lied that spread rails might throw them into
the ditch in a nasty wreck but their speed
uphill was not great enough to make that
danger particularly alarming. Coming back
down. however would be another matter-as
they both realized, although they did not men,

THEIR pride in the Rambling Wreck increased

the difficult grade. They were well up on the
mountain now, and on both sides the second

CHAPTFR TWENTY-FIVE

TINE next few weeks were busy
Il for Eve. Outstanding in impor-
lance was the opening Of the new
theater which was 20 be a gala
occasion IN Lake City. Dick brought
home several invitations for the
opening night Admittance at the
first performance, he explained, was
to be strictly invtatiOnal.
He asked Eve 70 give one Of the
Invitations to Mrs. Brooks who had
been continually considerate and
thoughtful. Two others were for
the teachers who lived on the floor
above. There were several left and
these Eve was 20 pass on TO some
OF her friends at the store.
The newspapers had devoted
much space 20 the impending event
and Lake City IN general looked
forward 10 IL. The morning of the
opening Theron Reece telephOned
Eve at her office.
Just wondered If you could get
me a couple Of comps for the open
Ing show tonight" he said. Eve
told him she was sOrry but she had
nothing to do with distributing the
invitations.
Arlene was going 10 the perform
ance with sam HOleridge who had
taken her out twice since Freda S
party. Eve helped Arlene select a
new frOck for the occasion.

She brought into the fitting room
a soft rose chiffon with myrlads OF
tiny rufles. It's lOw-cut neckline
gave it a touch Of sOphiSticatiOn.

dress we've ever had here" Freda
declared.
A RLENE eyed the dress wistfully.

me back terribly-but I can't resist

She strOked the soft ruffies gently.
rive never had places to wear such
things she went on. but now that
] have the dress I'll make occasions
to wear it,"
That evening Eve sat in the bril-
liantly lighted theater and looked
happily about her. The ruby red
mOhair seats were rapidly filling
with beautifully dressed women &C
companied by men in severe evening
clothes.
Dick had made a last minute
check OF the heating and lighting
equipment and was now busy back
stage. He would Join Eve after the
performance began.
He had reserved a box for their
guests. Eve had invited Arlene and
sam. Marya and Ray. They made
an attractive grOup-Arlene glowing
in rose chiffon. Marya yearning for
Eet-me-nOt blue satin, and Eve with
her luStrOus honey-COlOred hair and

work to please us-and there is no
other way we have Of showing them

She was really Contrite over her
past indifference. A small blond
girl wearing a very full chiffon
dress entered the wings. She smiled
at them and perched on a table
nearby. Eve spoke cordially to her
I'm about to go on" the girl said.

Ever watch a breadline? It's
q morbid thing to do. You
stand and stare at the naked
Sufferings of the less fortunate.
Even in hospitals, you don't
catch the note Of abject despair
and silent torture that you'll
find in the average breadline.
In the winter time, Times
Square, in the heart of New
York, presents as dramatic
show as ever has been staged in
the world. The title of the Of
tering is Bread. The audience
needs no tickets; the actors do.
And while Broadway ScrambleS
and unScrambles itself in and
out Of theaters, the actors in
this drama stamp their feet and
blow on their .andS while wait
ing hours in line for a piece of
doughy bread and {. mug Of
Sweetened mud.

Jerome knows Uhat it was
like. He was one of them. 1t
must have been pretty tough
for a man like him. 1t was so
obvious, just from looking at
him, that life had once been
very good to him.
He has a last name, this
Jerome. But 1 wouldn't tell
it, even if I knew, which I
don't. He has kept his plight
secret this long, and it wouldn't
help either him or this story
to divulge his name now.
At any rate, this dignified
man played the breadlines all
last winter. At Times Square,
twice a day, you might have
seen a tall man with snowy
hair and a sensitive mouth,
take his place at the end of
the line. He never wore a
hat because he didn't have
one. And, as hours passed,
you might have noted his prog
ress; how he moved up, inch
by inch, toward the big brown
truck where food could be had
for nothing,
Such was his situation on the
morning that he picked the
neWSpa Il out Of a refuse can
in the White Light sector. Idly
he turned the pages over un-
til he reached the want ad Sec
ton. Less idly his eyes travelled
down the columns. They stopped
at a small advertisement in
the fourth column.
Wanted" it read. Men
and women of all ages and
crafts for depression jobs. Call

Jerome refolded the paper
and .miled at nothing at all.
After all, he had tried every
o. ,r means of getting a job.
And he had nothing to lose by
trying this one. AS he was
thinking, a man with whom he
hc spoken several times dur
ing their wait on the breadline,
came near.

of Education by the president
of the student body as a per-

again." he replied. II don't

it's honest. And unless you

going to put it to good adVan-

The other man shrugged.
jerome carefully removed
one shoe after the other. Look
ing through them, he could
see a good deal of Broadway
where the soles had once been.
He tore strips from the news
paper and carefully folded
them inside of each shoe.
An hour later, he was several
miles south of Times Square,
walking briskly. He might
have asked passersby for a
nickle for subway fare, but he
didn't. He might have hailed
passing cars for lift, but he
knew that would be foolish.
Motorists are afraid of buns.
His heart sank when he came
in sight Of the City Employ
ment Agency. Evidently, every
other down-and-outer in New
York had seen the ad. The
line extended for a full block,
and around the corner. Still,
with hope in his heart. he took
his place at the end, and
waited.
Inside the agency office, men

Pay for Rent

'Never mind that" said the
man with the glasses. I'm
getting paid for this, so you
don't owe me a thing. The
job I have in mind isn't much,
but it will keep you in food
and room rent, too."
Jerome gulped. He said
nothing.
GO over to Fifth Avenue,
said the clerk, "to the Mid
Town Brokers Club. It's one
of the most exclusive organiza-
tions in the country.
"They need a porter to clean
and dust around the sitting
rooms. You'll get SIS per week.
Now take this card with you,
and hurry up before somebody
grabs it,"
The clerk looked up. Jerome
was not even reaching for the
card.
I'm sorry" said Jerome. "I
don't want that job"
He started to walk away. The
man with the glasses almost
exploded.
"You don't want the job!" he
yelled. "You don't want it.
Who the hell are you? j. P.
Morgan? Too good for a por-
ter's job, eh? Too swell to
work with your hands. That's
the trouble with you buns.
None of you want Jobs. You
want salaries that's all.
well, you listen to me,
Jerome. If you don't want it,
you don't have to take it.
There are a thousand others
here who would give their right
arms for that job. Imagine
passing up a chance to work
in the exclusive Midtown
Brokers Club! Just imagine it,"
Jerome turned as he reached
the door. All eyes were on
him, and contempt could be
seen in most of the glances.
You can't possibly under

Then the break came. He

the words: "Come back to-
