Taxed. she found even the slightest
movement meant agony.
It seemed to Noel that she had
been asleep only about 10 minutes
when Laurie awakened her the
next morning. But it was $3.50.
Laurie was up, looking rested
and refreshed. II hated to call
you," she said, "but we've got to
be up and doing, you know. Be-
sides, I've got you some hot coffee. ="
Coffee! Where on earth-?"
Noel sat up in bed. To. her sur
prise, she found the pain was all
gone, even though she had felt
when Laurie awakened her that
nothing on earth could ever induce
her to move again.
Then Laurie was pouring the cof-
fee in a 1O-cent store cup which
was badly Clipped. Once Noel
would have turned away in loath-
ing from such a cup, but the aroma
of the coffee was irresistible. She
held out her hands eagerly.
Laurie, rummaging around in the
cabinet of the old-fashioned wash
stand, found a saucer to go with
the cup, even though it didn't
match. Then she placed the cup
and saucer on the upended top of
small drawer she had withdrawn
from the washstand just above the
cabinet part. "Modom, here is
your tray" she said playfully.
"Shall draw your bawth now?"
Noel didn't look at her for a mo-
ment. show on earth did you
manage such a miracle 2" she
asked at last. -
Laurie explained that she had
bought the coffee with some of the
money Noel had given her, saying
that it was lots cheaper to have a
bit of breakfast in their room than
to go out to cafe.
Eyes, suppose So" Noel agreed
thoughtfully. Then she said, you'll
have to teach me to-make coffee"
Laurie's eyes grew wide. "You
mean you don't know how?"
sNot how TOTO make it as you
do" Noel evaded.
Then Laurie said, Feel stifish
this morning?"
''I was just about dead until you
gave me the coffee. But I'm feel
ing grand now" Just to prove it,
Noel sprang up and did little
dance step around the room in her
pajamas, the cup and saucer still
in her hand.
"Be careful Of the china" Laurie
giggled. eft might get Clipped"
THAT would be too-too awful"
Noel laughed.
Then Laurie wanted to know
how things had gone at the Pea
cock. Better than I hoped" Noel
told her, beginning to brush her
loose golden curls, and wondering
how soon she'd be able to manage
a bath in the bathroom down the
hall. Yesterday she had made four
trips with soap and towel before
she had found it unoccupied.s When
she had a chance to get in at last
she found it most uninviting. Sc

CHAPTER z

,NOEL HAD never nedrQ SO MUCH
restrained fury as there had been
in Ruth Chester's voice when the
nurse had spoken her mind. She
had said that Noel would never
marry Julian Paige for "a darn
good reason. Noel pondered over
that a long time. She couldn't
imagine what Ruth Chester had
meant.
AS Noel walked to her job at the
Peacock that night, she could hard
Nv get her mind off of Ruth Chester
and how coldly furious she had
been. From the first moment she
had seen her, Noel had thought
Ruth Chester was madly in love
with Julian. Now she had given
herself away, even though Julian
might be thoroughly unconscious OF
it..
Also Ruth Chester was even pref
tier than Noel had realized. And
abe had the advantage Of working
In the clinic next to Julian's Office,
and could run in and see him all
during the day when she was not
busy. She had every chance in the
world to win Julian's love, Noel
had to admit to herself. And
Julian admired Ruth very much.
He was always saying something
complimentary about her.
There wasn't any use trying not
TO see it, Noel told herself unhap-
PLY. Ruth Chester was danger
Gus rival, and very determined
one.
But Noel finally managed to dis
miss her from her mind. She had
to put all her thoughts on her work.
It wasn't going to be easy even
then, though Laurie had given Noel
q number of pointers on what to
do, and what not to do. So Noel
wasn't going to work in ignorance
on her first evening.
AS soon as she entered the Pea
cock, she went to the dressing
room and slipped into the gold
tulle evening dress aid the high
,heeled gold sandals, which she had
brought with her in pasteboard
box.
There were many girls in there,
putting on makeup, and adding last
minute touches to their hair. Most
of them spoke to her, recognized
her as a new girl and seemed
friendly enough.

as she had feared it would be-, All
the men with whom she danced
treated her with respect. Noel
hadn't been sure they would. She
had been afraid because she was
paid to dance with them, and any
body could ask her for a dance,
that some of them might feel they
could take liberties, might even in
siSt on going home with her.
But nothing like that happened.
Noel learned that it was against
Luigi's rules for the girls to accept
the patrons of the Peacock as
escorts home. "Just one Of Luigi's
crazy IDEAS" one of the girls told
her. But it gave Noel sense of
relief.
At 1:15 the Peacock closed. Noel
was given her So, and left to her
own resources.
Quite fortunately for her, the
Peacock was only about FIVE blocks
from the rocming house on Court
street. So she walked the short
distance alone. =.
Laurie was there in the lumpy
bed, sleeping soundly. Noel crawled
in beside her, and suddenly, ii
seemed as if her whole. body was
one intense ache. Once she was re.

Famous PAGER Dan Patch
Was National Celebrity

In his day Dan Patch was a ma
tional celebrity. He was a PAGER,
and the first horse ever to do a mile
in harness under 2 minutes. To
understand the immense interest in
him it is necessary to recall that
in 1905, when he paced the mile in
l:55A, the automobile was still an
experiment. To the American peo-
pie, the possession of a horse and
buggy was mark of responsibility,
and to have bit of blood between
the shafts, or fast, spanking team,
was social distinction, observes a
writer in the Kansas City Times.
That was the reason why nearly
every farm home, and many a city
home, in those days had picture Of
Dan Patch on the wall. We can
remember that old picture yet. It
was famous chrome and showed
the noted bay fairly flying along,
every foot off the ground, the spokes
OF the sulky behind him a blur, and
the driver leaning forward, his arms
taut on the reins, the very persona
fication of speed. It was a thrilling
picture, and one understandable to
every one as it would not be in this
day Of steering wheels and foot

Andirons a Cooking Need
In Old American HON

For two centuries American
homes were dependent for both
cooking and heating on wood-burn-
ing fireplaces, writes Thomas Ham,
ilton Ormsbee in the American Col
lector. Andirons were essential and
must have been part of the neces-
sary equipment brought over by the
first settlers, although no specific
mention is made of them. We do
find in the inventory Of Governor
Winthrop's estate, dated February
II, 1649, "2 pairs andirons-one
pound, ten shillings." Four years
later list Of the household furnish
ings Of Captain Tying, of Boston, in
cludes "a great paire of Brass and
irons"
Just when andirons were first
made in the American colonies is
hard to say, but those Of wrought
iron were probably produced for To-
cal needs almost as soon as the first
blacksmiths set up their FORCES. It
is matter of record that about 1910
Joseph jerks, the first New England
iron master, had foundry at Lynn,
Mass, and that two years later
John Winthrop, son of the governor
Of Massachusetts Bay colony, was
operating smelling furnace at Sau-
gus.
There were many other early ef-
forts at mining and smelling iron in
the various colonies, some of which
continued throughout the Colonial
period and until the richer deposits
of ore were discovered around Pitts
burgh. Clearly there was an ample
supply of native iron from 1850 on.
Unfortunately, the blacksmiths of
the Colonial period, who sometimes
decorated their more pretentious
andirons with an incised design, had
not the forethought to mark them
with the date of production. Also,
as shapes and patterns did not
change rapidly, many of the andirons
made in the more remote country
districts as late as the early years
of the Nineteenth century adhered
to the lines and proportions of the
Colonial period.
