meant they were at the end Of their
rope.
In his experience he saw IN Janell
q colorless, stage-struck little country
girl, too tall and thin to ever get q
Job on Broadway as dancer. Some
day they would have to 60 back where
they came from. But perhaps he
could help them a little while, until
they learned the truth. Meanwhile.
it was blessing to get away from
restaurant cooking.
Il was thus that Shell Pease, known
around the newspaper Offices as the
nerviest. most hard-boiled press agent
of the guild, entered the lives of Jan
and Patience Keats.
Charity might have been the origi-
nal motive in prompting Shell to get
his meals in the apartment across
the hall. But by the end of two weeks
he had gained 5 pounds. and felt bet
ter physically than he had in Is years
since he had eaten hasty, tasteless
meals in restaurants.
Il thought" he told Patience one
evening when she had served kidney
saute with mushrooms and boiled Gu
cumbers, that food was Just some

alive. never could understand a
gourmet. But it seems I've been miss

Jan, thinking fast, gave her another
wink and Q signal which she UNDER
stood.
WELL" Patience grinned uncertain
ly, If there's any danger of your
fainting Of hunger, pull up chair.
I'm sure you're welcome"
It was the gayest dinner party
either Of the two girls had ever known.
Mr.. Pease regaled them with tales of
his adventures as o press agent, and
the low-down about the stars. Be-
tween yarns he fed Patience's burning
ears with well-seasoned fiattery on her
culinary genius.
And when he had finished he
proved that he was not just raving in
gratitude for his favorite dish. He
offered Patience s14 week for home
cooked meals. II she would let him
board with them and get awsy from
restaurants. He assured tn I'm. truth
fully, that 1t cost him more than that
to eat decently.
It would buy their food and pay
part Of their rent beside, so Patience
could not refuse. The bargain was
sealed. and Shell Pease insisted on
paying a week in advance.
They never suspected that the big
hearted New Yorker was worried about
them. Nor that his offer had been
made because he feared lamb stew

wonder of wonders and Joy Of joys!
Chow! Good old chowl"
Patience wondered how he was pos
sibly going to hold o bite of the
pumpkin pie she had baked. But he
ate two large slices. She beamed on
him like q mother with q small boy
who had Just eaten his spinach.
"That reminds me-" Jan looked up
from the pie she had been unable to
swallow for the lump in her throat
You're gaining weight, Patience. I've
noticed it for week. You're heavier
than I've ever seen you"
II was wondering If you werent
going to say something about 1t pretty
soon." Patience puffed out her cheeks
I've gained IS pounds since we came
to New York. It's the change,
guess"
"And not having to do all the dirty
work for the Totten tribe" Janell
added testify. "You could have seen
through yourself In another year II
you'd kept on losing any more"
TITS becoming to you" Shell added
his approval. Don't let youself get
any heavier, though. You're just
right now"

Patience blushed to the roots Of her
red hair and arose hastily 70 pick up
the dishes. Jan started 70 help, but
Patience waved her aside.
Honey, you rest" She took plate
from her hand. 81 haven't done q
thing today but straighten UP the
place and do a little cooking. You've
walked miles. Sit down and talk to
Mr.. Pease."
Shell was quite at home by this
time, so he stretched full length on
the couch and lit q pipe.
Pardon me, ladies, II ! seem to take
the role Of the man Of the house and
lord Of the manor. But you've no busi-
ness making 1t so charming over here
across the hall. I'm tempted to move
in. Couldn't sleep here permanently
on the divan?"
"Oh, sure" Jan scoffed lightly. "Just
bring your typewriter and toothbrush

day?"
That brought the press agent to q
sitting position as though he had been
jerked with string.

his head and moaned. "The girl wants

She didn't look colorless and lanky to
him then, but small and helpless and
very young.
He opened his mouth several times
to tell her the truth about why she
hadn't found job. but IN spite Of his
reputation for speaking the hard
boiled truth he couldn't bring himself
to hurt her any more.
What he wanted to tell her was
that she must get the idea Of the
stage out of her head-that the most
sensible thing she and Patience could
do was to 60 back to Kansas before all
their money was gone. providing it
wasn't all gone then. He wanted to
offer to lend them the money for their
fare. but he was quite positive Pa
tience wouldn't accept 1t.
Jan was Just a stage-struck little
country girl and New York was over
flowing with thousands Of young hope
fuls much prettier and much more tai
ented who would never get any nearer
footlight than she had. 1t would
break her heart for a little while, but
1t would be kinder for some one to
tell her the sad news.
