a curious glance at the girl.
That's the way of the world
now, it seems. A man like me-
self, with all my experience,
trampS the streets and can find
no work at all, while slip of a
thing like her is in high de-
mand."
"A mans a fool that works

boy" said his father grimly.
It's the education Cathleen
has had from the Sisters" Mrs.
Mccarthy said. And all the
time she spent in the shorthand
school on the top Of that, that
makes them set such a high
value on herself"

might be taking tit was early
days when I turned it down"
said Mccarthy, a note of long
ing in his voice.
The rest of the family ate
silently, save for an occasional
horuS of agreement. The
younger children, though noisy
enough outside, had learned to
hold their tongues in their
fathers presence. Joe was ha-
bitually taciturn at home.
After dinner Cathleen washed
the dishes and Mary dried
them.

leen SAID as she worked, I'll see
if I can make mother spend
some of it on a new dress for

cite tray was an invaluable as
set. She could, without fear of
criticism, prance up to any
group of men and acc0st them
in the most daringly flirtatious
manner.
She was intoxicated with eX-
citement as she fitted tireleSsly
about, smiling, ogling, taking in
money. She was not even much
dashed when her tactics were
unsuccessful, as happened once
or twice. One woman, who
knew her slightly and whose
own social footing was precari-
GUS, snubbed her, and when she
thought to pursue young Seward
Ingram and see if she could not
strike up a fruitful acquaintance
with him, she found him dis
couragingly unresponsive.
Nearly all day he had been
glued to the side of one particu-
lar girl, but at last Marian sue
ceeded in tracking him down,
for the moment alone-and dis
consolate.
"Cigarettes?" She smiled up
into his eyes and laid a hand on
his arm.

effort to bolster a dying pride
in her brother.
Cathleen, at the office next
morning, waited, at first conf
IDENTIFY and then with mounting
doubt, her summons to Ingram S
office. Was he not going to send
for her, had she failed to satisfy
him, would the great opportun-
ity go to one of the other girls?
Not until after the lunch inter
val did her call come, and when
she entered his office he greeted
her with a surprising question.
What sort of sailor are you,
Miss Mccarthy"
"Why-I haven't been on the
water much" she said, trying
not to laugh. But I've never
been SeaSick!"
Ingram explained: There's a
garden party at my place today
at which l must put IN an ap'
pearance. There are several let
ters that should be written, and
we can get them out of the way
on the yacht while running out
to Grangefields. You can type
them there. I'll sign them at
once and you can mail them
when you get back to town. III

Ingram's boat was of highly

polished woods and smart
brasses. and Cathleen, who had
never before set foot on yacht,
stared with all her eyes at its
beauty and specklesS cleanliness
and the charm Of its nautical
arrangements.
At the Party
They ran into Ingram's pri-
vate dock, behind which were
parklike grounds, rolling and
tree-set, and above them the
facade of a great white house.
AS they came nearer she could
see groups of people and hear
music and a faint burst Of
laughter. They came alongside
the wharf and a gangplank was
put over, and then she was walk
ing beside Ingram up the rise
toward the house, avoiding the
guests, though now and then he
raised hand in informal greet
ing across a wide space.
A vision in pink georgette,
with a tray of cigarettes Slung
by pink ribbons from her dainty
shoulders, interrupted tn m.
Marian Alspaugh cried, archly,
Wont the big magnate take
one little, little pack?"
Jasper Ingram selected a box
at random, absent-mindedly
passed it over to Cathleen, and
paid with a ten-dollar bill.
FluStered by the incident, the
girl quickly dropped the box into
her bag; she did not smoke, but
she resolved to keep the pack
age as souvenir of an astound'
ing day.
Near the house, Ingram turned
Cathleen over to a servant, with
the necessary directions, and the
girl was led away from fairy
land into the Somber silence OF
the big house.
Opening the typewriter, she
made ready for work. But she
couldn't resist the temptation
to linger a moment at the win
dow fascinated by sights, the
like of which she had never seen
before-might never see again.
It seemed natural enough to
her that work should be her por-
ton, while all these people
played and frolicked in an
idyllic garden.
If she were one of them, she
asked herself in a rather pa
thetic little game. which If the
men would she most like to have
attached to her side, for the
afternoon? She had to stay at
the window a minute or two
longer than her conscience ap-
proved to settle that. Finally
she decided on a young man
with a head of light hair that
had a crisp. little wave in it.
He looked up toward her win
dow and seemed to smile at
her. Had he really seen her?
Had he smiled at her? Her
heart fluttered.
Yes, Seward Ingram had
caught a glimpse Of the pretty
girl at the window, but this
afternoon he had eyes only for
Airline Martin.

"Oh-but your credit is good!
Listen, take a box now, and
meet me somewhere later when
you have money. Here you are"
without encouragement, she
tore open a box, extracted a
cigarette and thrust it against
his lips. Now I'll give you a
light"
Marian knew when she was
beaten, and opportunities were
too numerous this afternoon to
waste more time in lost cause.
I'VE gratefully accept any con-
tribution, however small" she
mumbled glibly, and turned
away to look for easier game.
CHAPTER VII
Marian was near the booth
where tickets for the mystery
trips were sold. In front Of it
were two men, to one Of whom
she already had sold halt-a-
dozen packs of cigarettes at a
thousand per cent profit. She
lacked the nerve to press him
further. but the other looked
promising, and she took a step
towards him.
But have you no tickets for
Spain?" he was asking the girl
in the booth. Il am in love
with your Long Island and l do
not wish to leave it unless to re-
turn to my Spain!"
The girl laughed and eX-
planned: Don't you see, these
are mystery trips! The whole
point is, you don't know where
you're going when you buy a
ticket! It's a surprise! Don't
you want to take a chance
and get a SurpriSe?"
Marian pounced on him. al
ways a mistake to make lmpor-
tant decisions in a hurry. Buy
some cigarettes and think it
over while you smoke"
He was a Strikingly handsome
man, with full black eyes and
the features of a Greek statue,
slightly thickened. His express
sion was family brutal and, to
her, attractive.
IF you will please sell me
some cigarettes very cheap 1 will
take your advice. I am a very
poor refugee-the republicans
in Spain have stolen my estates.
If we were in Spain, I would
give you a hundred peSetas for
this box-Alas, I must ask you
to tell me your minimum price,"
Nothing to you" she said
daringly. And are you really
refugee? 1 thought refugees
were all Russians?"
"Have you not heard then,
that Don Alfonso was driven
from his throne?"
Eyes, of course. I remember
now. Oh, are you a grandee?
How perfectly thrilling if you
are!"
"Ignacio Miguel Carlos Esteban
d'AlhueS y Silva, l present my
self, with your permission
Marques d'Alhues and Grandee
of Spain-alas. my poor Spaln!'
"You thrill me to death,
Marques d'Alhues. May I light
your cigarette?"
"You have few cigarettes
left" he said after thinking her
for light.
Nearly all gone, but what I
have in here" She tapped
the little money box. i've
earned rest, don't you think?'
Sparring
Contentedly he sat on stone
bench beside her and they
smoked, looked at each other
out of the corners of their eyes,
and laughed at nothing.
II think it would be nice If
you would come to this make
believe Spain with me-" d'Alhues
suggested. "Ah, what a beau
tiful dream-if it were only
reality! But let us go to the pre-,
tended Spain-since the other
is impossible"
Sorry, said the girl in the
booth, but I'm afraid it's too
late. The theatricals start at
once, and everyone's going over
there"
1t was true, people were begin
ming to drift towards the amphi-
theater. Marian Sprang to her
