CHAPTER III.
f'--. JUNE bustled qalte cheerfully
rll about her toilet the nest morn
III u aDd cnose a Uttle dark
isLJ gray auit as being the least
conspicuous, for now she was to be a
- working girl.
Suddenly there was a wheezing and
a rustling at the door and a scraping
as If aome one were bending to listen
at the keyhole, a silence and then a
knock. It was Mrs. Boales.
"There's a young lady to see you,
Miss Miss"
"Justin," snapped Marie, who had
given that name by a brilliant flash
of intellect
"Tea, Mary," wheezed Mrs. Boales.
"That wasn't the name the young
lady gave. First she said Moore, and
then she said Warner, and then she
.said that Justin was right, she guess
ed, but she said 'June every time,
and she brought this slipper.- Is it
yours?"
"Who is the young lady?" asked
"June.
"Miss Thomas, Miss ma'am." Mrs.
Boales' constantly roving eye came to
rest on the solitaire and the plain gold
band on June's finger. "She said abe
came to see yon about a position."
June cast down her eyes 10 troubled
thought. Blye he had said be would
send some one for her In the morning.
.Was there no evading the man's kind
ness? How had he Absurd! Of
course he bad got her address from
the driver of the car. She went down
the stairs In worried concern, but in
the doorway of the parlor she stopped
In astonishment as she saw her caller,
for a moment the two beautiful young
women stood studying each other in
admiration; then the brunette swept
forward with a gracious smile.
Later June called up the stairs, "I'll
be back some time this afternoon, Ma
Make Good

Come and try our shoes. We

trouble in getting shoes that

rie." Then June went out with Ten
my Thomas!
Honorla Blye, sitting at her parlor
window and exchanging the thoughts
of the morning with her green feath
ered familiar spirit, saw loafing across
from her bouse a long, lean, lanky
man with a sparse black beard. Pres
ently the doorbell rang, and one of the
wide, low detectives came in with an
air of great exhaustion.
"Nothing doing, ma'am,,"ue reported.'
"BUnky Peters and 1 watched your
husband's club all the time. Sneaky
Tavls has shadowed Warner's apart
ments, and I'm to go let him get some
sleep."
"Are you sure my husband and that
girl haven't left the city?" she asked.
"They didn't go from any regular
railroad station," stated Bill Wolf, with
conviction.
Ned Warner at about the same time
received a report of similar discour
agement from the long, lean, lanky de
tective. There had been found no
trace of June Warner nor of Blye.
.Without thought of detectives, but
keeping a watchful eye lest she should
see Ned or her parents, June went
boldly forth. She was thoughtful as
Tommy - Thomas ushered her Into a
waiting hansom, for this friend of Gil
bert BIye's was expensively gowned
and seemed to live in unusual freedom.
In one of the big department stores
June was taken up to the manageress
of the French salon; then Tommy
went away, and presently June, whose
face and figure, carriage and manner,
bad been grimly inspected and approv
ed, was being instructed in the art of
parading In a gown and of displaying
tho proper degree ot elegant insolence
to Impress customers.
A sleepy looking colored maid came
In, and some girls brought In gowns
shrouded in white bags.
"The canary, Maud," ordered the
manageress, poking her head between
the curtains, and the sleepy colored
maid slowly took down the bag con
taining the canary evening frock.
"What Is your first name, child?"
"June," unswered that young lady.
"Your name here will be Therese,"
added the manageress. "You haven't
done this before, have you?"
"No." - June's voice was taint and
weak. She had a queer feeling in her
stomach, and ber eyes began to widen
again as she studied an appalling array
of cosmetics.
"Never mind. I'll be In and make
you up." "
At last June was to know bow it felt
to earn one's own living. She bad a
mingled exhilaration and depression In
the contemplation of that' remarkable
experience.
- As June peered out of her dressing
alcove a middle aged man and woman
paused In a vigorous argument. The
woman wanted money, and the man
would not give ft. Then June was
called and camo out and paraded slow
ly down between the two long rows of
chairs. There were a hundred or more
women and some men. Occasionally
one of the women beckoned to ber and
made ber turn and walk away and
come back.
She. bad displayed perhaps half a
dozen gowns when the middle aged
man and woman obstructed her pas
sageway as she camo out of the al
cove. They were still in an energetic
dispute . the inonov, A liundxeTj
.1. V L-i-YV W
I ! dollars the woman wanted, and abe
bad to bars HI The man finally toft
her.
A lady from a group where a gray
mustacbed man with a pink face and
jovial eyes was standing cam over
and spoke to the woman. ; The woman
listened, her eyes following Jon as
she walked In a beautiful black velvet
dinner gown. Tho woman spoke to a
saleslady. v-".";j.:.
"1 want that gown!" she snapped.
"Certainly, madam," aatd the sales
lady. .
"Tell ber to take It off now," ordered
the customer, "It's a charge account"
So June was unceremoniously rushed
Into ber alcove and divested of ths
black velvet gown, while the charge
account went op. The gown waa tak
en away. The woman had a girl carry
It to the credit department, said aha
had bought the gown, didn't car for
It end wanted the money, S 135.
The manager of the credit depart
ment expostulated with the woman aa
far as diplomacy would permit It
was not unusual to have credit cus
tomers bring back goods and demand
cash, but It was unusual to have it
done so quickly. . However, she waa a
good customer, and her' bills were al
ways paid.
The woman rejoined her friend In
front of June's dressing alcove and tri
umphantly displayed tho money. The
husband of the customer came np, fu
rious. He had been to the credit desk
and discovered the deception. A little
group quickly formed around the mid
dle aged husband and wife.
It wis at this moment that Blye ap
peared by the side ot the gray mus
tacbed man, and with him was Tom
my ThomasI Blye nodded bis bead to
Cunningham and. ' said something ' to
Tommy. She strolled with quite evi
dent reluctance across the floor. .
"Tour turn, dear," said the manager
ess to June and frowned in the direc
tion of the group.
"I give you everything you want"
charged the man. "No woman In this
town has more. You can go into any
shop In New York and order what yon
like, and I pay your bills. Yet yon
graft on me I" .-..'
"You give me everything but mon
ey T shrilled the woman. - "I beg for
every cent I getf" .
To give on the one band and to beg
on the other! It was a striking Illus
tration of the principle which bad led
June away from Ned. .That the wo
man is and must remain an object of
charity, depend .upon the bounty of the
man whom she merriest No matter
how generous the man might be nor
bow penurious, the principle was the
same.. v. V
The gray mustacbed man called the
manageress.
"I would like to see that little white
dress," be said, Jndlcatlng June, who
bad on another frock. -
"Certainly," replied the manageress.
She . hurried .over to 'June, and said,
"Come, Tberesel" ' .
. A warm band caught June's wrist
and a voice said:
"You're stunning! What'a tho fight
about?" ,
Tommy Thomas it was.
The two girls stood listening.
The gray mustached man rose.
"If this Is tbe sort of attention I
recelvo In this shop I will give it no
more of patronage," be declared an
grily to the manageress.
Blye, smiling, saw the superintend
ent enter and called his attention to
tbe gray mustached man, and the su
perintendent hurried over and met Orln
Cunningham, whose ' cheeks puffed
with anger. '
"What Is tbe matter?" asked tbe su
perintendent ;.
"Matter!" blazed Cunningham. "I've
been asking this saleswoman for half
an bour to let me see that little white
dress," be pointed to June, "and 1 am
Ignored, sir I"
The superintendent turned ' to tbe
manageress. "Madam Effing, what Is
the trouble?"
"It's a new model," explained tho
manageress. ',1 can't get her to pay
any attention to me."
"Then discharge her at once!"' order
ed the superintendent and turned on
bis heeL
Madam Elflng stalked straight over
to June.
"You are discharged!" she snapped.
"Oht" June was stunned.
"No excuses, please!" grated the man-
Rgeress.
N "Madam I" called the vivacious Tom
my Thomas, but madam only glared at
her and . stalked away, while June
walked Into her dressing alcove to
know, with sympathy for all the other
girls in her position, just how it feels
to be discharged.
Meantime Tommy Thomas, the look
of concern fading from her bandsomo
countenance, hurried over and joined
Orln Cunningham and Gilbert Blye.
Tho three left the department
When June emerged from her dress
ing alcove Madam Effing was there and
without a word gave ber a little yellow
envelope. With this In ber hand June
walked out Into the street, saddened
with the realization that after all, the
way to Independence Is full of . hard
ships and that bounty might have its
advantages.
Gilbert Blye was waiting for ber at
the corner, suave, pleasant smiling.
She had never met a man -who raised
bis hat with more courtly grace than
he. He asked If he might walk with
ber a little way; and she saw no rea
sonable excuse to refuse him after his
consideration of the morning. He sym
pathized with her, and he extended his
walk to tbe door of ber lodgings. lie
held her hand a moment overlong In
parting, and the wheezing Mrs. Boales,
her cold eye looking from the area win
dow, saw him . bending over her In
smiling persuasloli. ;
There were unhappy dinners In New
York that night Ned Warner, afraid
to leave tbe headquarters ne naa
tabllsbed, bad his dinner brought

the Corner. -;V;"'-:

ried each course out Into tbe bail and
ate it himself,' since Ned bad scarcely
touched It June, her thoughts all on
Ned and her father and mother, bad
ber lonely meal In the little back bed
room with Marie to serve and to grieve
over each untasted dish. John Moore
and bis wife, their faces gray, sat on
opposite sides of tbe table, which had
so suddenly become big, and sent back
to round, black old Aunt Debby the
delicacies she bad prepared with such
deep affection. June's collie. Bouncer,
out In tbe shed nibbled perfunctorily
at a chicken bono and rose whining
at every sound. Bobble and Iris Bleth
ering, tbe latter June's bosomest bosom
friend, disgraced tbe hollow butler by
omitting their salad and dessert and
having tholr coffee right at the table.
Honorla Blye sat opposite the parrot
and every time it squeaked shrilled at
It to shut up. Tbe abnormally ugly
maid nearly bad ber bead bumped for
offering to remove tbe bird, and when
during the offer she laid ber band on
the cage the demon bit her finger un
til the blood came. ,

Bill Wolf, tbe flattest and widest ot
Honoria'a detectives, later rang j the
Blye bell and bulked back to the 'din
ing room in excitement
"Got hlml" announced Bill.
Gilbert BIye's Wife was already ou
her feet :
"My hat and coat!" she shrieked to
tbe abnormally ugly maid.
"la she with him?" demanded Hono
rla. ' "I don't know. My partners are
watching the front and back doors.

"Where?" she majestically demanded.
; "Riverside drivel I'll show you tbe

"Is be still in, Blinky?" demanded
Bill Wolf, tumbling out of the ma
chine and landing right end up. -
Blinky Peters was too good a de
tective to answer In words. Be gave
an upward toss of his round bead and
a wink ot bis fisbllke eye and walked
Into tbe building with an air of not
having seen Bill Wolf at all.
"Fifth!" ordered Blinky, leaning over
to whisper that magic word mysteri
ously Into the ear of the curly haired
elevator boy. The boy did not mind.
He was used to all sorts. He sent up
the elevator with a jerk. Out at tbe
fifth floor. First door to the right
Now! . A ring at the doorbell. Hush I
Tbe door swung open, and Immedi
ately Bill Wolf pushed la Tbe oth
ers crowded after him. .
"There be Is. ma'am I" shouted Bill,
plunging Into tbe next room, and
Honorla Blye saw In June Warner's
drawing room tbe tall, lean, lanky de
tective with tbe sparse black beard,
who was tbe caricature ot ber band
some husband! Ned Warner followed
In from tho reception room.
"What am I to understand by this,
Mrs. Blye?" be Inquired.
"You ought to know, you!" gruffly
charged "Sneaky" Tavls, who bad fol
lowed the others, and, whirling, he
pointed at tbe caricature. "That's ber
husband!"
"Shut up!" squawked Mrs. Blye and
went borne.
Gilbert Blyo at that time was quite
far from tbe sceno of Honorla's cap
ture or even of Ned's wanderings. He
was dining with Tommy Thomas, and
a rather elderly woman, and a doll
like girl with swiftly advancing crow's
feet at the corners of her eyes, and
Orln Cunningham, and a heavy lidded,
short haired, big man named Edwards,
whom they called T. .1. With tbe ar
rival of the coffee Blye told the time
from a tiny gold watch, the only one
he carried now.
"The runaway bride!" laughed Cun
tilngham. "I'm In a hurry," Blye explained. '1
told you when we came here that I bad
to leave at a"
"Of course we know where you are
going," Tommy challenged blm.
June was sitting In her lonely little
bedroom waiting for Marie, whom she
had sent out to a drug store for toilet
articles. Mrs. Boales suddenly knocked.
"A gentleman to see Miss Justin,"
sbo announced, "a gentleman with a
black beard and a diumond ring and
a gold filling In oho tooth. He says It's
Mr. Blye. I lit the parlor lamp for
him."
June wondered what she should do. .
