companion was ready enough to talk
sue a lovely little thing-so clever,
tlough only five, and such beautiful

yer must work so hard, and even so,
never all she needs. Milk! She should

James remembered suddenly the cham

Such .people-she saw it nova glass
OF milk could be of vital Importance,
and wicked, as the maid had said. A
vague impulse toward making some
sort OF vicarious restitution began to
WORK In her mind as she continued to
walk beside the old woman. There were
an those register marks, and what use
mad she for them now? She couldn't
spend them on Morgan, and Morgan
spend some on milk for the grand
child of another? She asked more ques-
tons, and the old woman prattled on.
She was quite brave and uncomplain-
ing, but said presently, with the ter
rlble matter-of-factness of the poor,
All, I expect we shall lose her. The
doctor at the clinic had said, Take her

Tor some people, but how could such as
they do it? My daughters work is here
IN the city; or rather'-with a sigh

A curious sort of interior Shudder
shook the American as she asked about
the daughter. "She'S had a misfortune
meme dame, and lost her job. She's out
looking for another, but it's not so easy
when M has got the sack! I always
tell her her temper will be the ruin of
US all, so hasty as she is. Milk is
good, and waste is wicked-we poor, we
know that! But the rich don't. There
1t is. And to insult a ricn lady and lose
ones Job, what's the sense of that?"
thoroughly wound up by her griev-
ance, the old woman talked on, but
Mrs. Morgan James walked beside her
in silence, shaken within by such a
abasement, observation-disclosures, and a
sort of thankful joy at the chance so
offered her to make, not a vicarious,
but a direct restitution-as left her for
some time quite without the power of
speech. When she had recovered a
little, she insisted on going with the
old woman to her home, and on seeing
the little Lilli; The child-lovely, frail,

with furniture, moved her more than
ever. This must be put right!
The financing of the Gertlers' move
to the country was not as simple as
Mrs. Morgan James had expected-no
form of financial dealings is in the
least simple in Germany now. She
could only cash her register marks at
the rate of a hundred a day, and but

been fifty a day. Meanwhile, she had
to live herself. With a curious pleasure
at the novelty of the thing, she moved
to a smaller and cheaper hotel, and
managed to live there on fifteen marks
a day-but even so, it was over three
weeks before the requisite sum was
accumulated. Mrs. James occupied the
time by going to the clinic, seeing the
doctor and getting his advice: by buy
ing Radiostol, and ordering cream; by
going out in a personenZug-a very
slow train which stopped at every sta
