she'd stop this fooiishness about working and give him the chance! Now what does she need money for?
 "I'ii bet she's up to some dangcd fooiishness!" he went on. "Well. she'll get no help from mel She's gone into debt, likely. as not, for something siio doesn't need. Has she written anything lately about buying anything?"
 Reluctantly Kate clutched at this straw. "she did write while
 back about buying some furniture. "Furnituref' Hank repeated, puzzled. "why I thought they wercn't going to buy furniture yet. ! thought they lived in q furnished apartment" ~e

 mo- Not. by c jugful!"
 |, So Evo received less than she had expected and the draft was made out to her mother from tho little fund Mrs Bayiess had saved for 50 long. Kate had made one
 more sacrifice for her daughter and Eve had to be content with the amount she received.
 She wrote her mother long iet-
 tor of appreciation. Tho money was to be considered as . loan. Eve explained and she primised to TO. pay 1t as soon as she had made c gain of that amount. She would hold this for working capital. "You know. Mother" she wrote. '.it's i'm. possible to get start without q little capital" Kate smiled as she read that, TO think her quarters and half dollars, saved from the household allowance and slipped into tho cracked sugar bowl on the top pantry shelf should have grown into "capitaii" What would this enterprising daughter of hers do next? She would have been surprised to know what Eve was about. Afraid she might have difficulty keeping her activities from Dick fl she played the market through a brokers office, Eve had decided to operate through the bank. She felt. however, as though she were being cheated of the thrill sup. posed to be connected with play. ing the stock market.

 I'm having a good day." Eve admitted. "I've turned out my copy
 in about half the time it usually takes"
 sVeiI, I envy you!" Arlene grum bIed. Tt would take a million
 dollars to make me feel like that to-day"
 "Oh, D few hundred thousand can do lott" Eve answered airily | At 2:30 she sent the office boy l to buy copy Of the stock edition lof an evening newspaper. When Tit came Eve turned excitediy to the Ifinanciai page. Pure Soap. Inc had gone up two points.
 Eve made a mental note Of hel

 That evening she watched Dicl
