CHAPTER III.
EOR a moment Juno hesitated be
fore the door of nn employ
ment agency next morning,
and then she sharply beat
down her reluctance. People who have
made up their minds to be independent
and to earn their own way in lifo must
bare no timidity. She turned the knob
with sudden boldness and opened It;
then she smiled at ber own sensitive
ness as she stood before ft pleasant
traced woman, in the corner of whose
eyes,' however, - there was a veiled
'Sharpness which June did not see.
A very pretty woman came in as
June turned to go away, and with ber
was a little girl of great beauty. June
hesitated as Bhe heard the word "gov
erness." The woman at the desk
smiled to June. The newcomer fol
lowed that smile and herself smiled at
June. The little girl bad been study
ing June frankly out of round eyes.
"I like you," she said, with startling
candor; then the employment agency
womau laughed, and pretty Mrs. Wiles
.laughed. June dimpled. "
"I like you, too." she acknowledged.
The employment agency woman rose.
"Mrs. Murdock is listed as a gov
erness," she observed, and June winc
ed at her new name. How queer this
iH' 'seemed! "Perhaps you would like
to have a little chat."
Mrs. Wiles and June Moore Warner
Justin Day . Murdock were both agree
able to that suggestion, particularly
since little Dolly Wiles had appropri
ated June apparently for keeps. They
sat In one of the cozy corners, and
when June rose she was engaged. Mrs.
Wiles was a most appealing woman.
All three were perfectly happy as
they left the oltlee and rode lu Mrs.
Wiles' victoria up Fifth avenue to one
of those wide, clean streets which lead
off from Central park.
A block and a half from, the avenue
tbey stopped before a new looking
. apartment house with an imposing en
trance, and a hungry looking doorman
bowed his regular bow, and a hungry
looking elevator man shot them sky
ward. A duplex apartment June had nev-
er seen one before, and Its utility wi
a puzzle to ber then, as It was foi'
many a long day afterward.
After luncheon a imp for Dolly, and
then a romp in the park. Holler skat
ing. June's foot was nearly as small
as Dolly's, and the child, after she bad
thoroughly exhausted herself, insisted
that June try. It was a pretty little
deceit which was put on Dolly. June
strapped on the skates and was timid
and helpless and altogether charming
until Dolly had laughed herself weak;
then June suddenly straightened up
and skated away like the expert that
she was, whereat Dolly was more
pleased than ever,, and u voice from
the roadway, a suave and pleasant
voice, called:
"Bravo!" Gilbert Blye! He was
smiling. June was confused. She
whisked off the skates. ' '
"You seem to hare all the accom
plishments," went on Blye, stepping
down from bis lvixrirlous limousine.
I
"Bravo! How do you do?"
"Hello, young lady!" He held out
bis band to Dolly Wiles with a famil
iarity permissible to tho very young
and to the very old of femininity, and
the child took it hesitantly, with a shy
upward glance at June Her big gray
eyes widened, however, as tbey fell
on the limousine. She dropped the
band and ran forwurd to the machine.
"What a lovely car!" she exclaimed,
patting it on its smooth, swelling side.
"Just the kind mother wants, but dad
dy says we can't afford it"
Blye laughed lightly. "Would you
like a spin around the park lu It," he
suggested, "you and your playmate
here?" And be bowed. ;
Dolly, jumping up and down, was al
ready tugging at the door handle, and
Blye, laughing, opened it for her. Dol
ly gave a cry of positive Joy as she
saw the rich interior, and she .was
among the soft cushions in an Instant
"You haven't much choice," said the
low voice of Blye, and he held the door
open for June.
"This once." And she looked bun
squarely In the eye. He smiled.
June was thoughtful all through that
delicious twenty minutes of riding,
Blye his dark face haunted her. An
other face came to ber Ned! A great
wave of homesickness swept over her.
They made their adieus rather hasti
ly to Blye, for their time was a little
more than up.
Just before dhincr was called Mr.
Wiles came home, and June happened
Into tho library. It was Dolly's favor
ite storeroom for toys, books aud every
thing else. Mrs. Wiles he called her
Woozly was sitting on the arm of her
husband's chair, her arm around his
neck 'and his chin in the palm of her
band. With the other huud she was
twisting a lock of his buir over and
over. her finger, and she was most dis
tinctly and obviously wheedling him
for money! Ills voice wus low and
protesting with us much sternness as
a man can use when ho is being charm
ed Into docility. Woozly Wiles was
locking the money in her little Inlaid
desk when June next saw her. !
They were going out after dinner, j
Tliero was some talk about ordering a
car, and it needed but one word to glvo j
Dolly a start. The luxurious limou- j
sine of tho black Vnudyked man was
iuu nuuio ui ,iur . one milieu on
and on and onvabout It, and as she
talked tho pretty face of Mrs, Wiles
grew more and more distressed.
Mrs, WUea lit n tunning negligee
stood In tho library door.
"You wftut Dolly, of course," she said
to June. "She a a born prowler, I
think.- .
" Dolly smacked ber father u parting
kiss.. .
"Daddy says It won't ia u big limou
sine, mother, but It'll have mlllc tassels,
and It will be it limousine anyhow.
May wo have a red headed chauffeur
and a chow dog?"
"It depends on whut color upholstery
I your mother selects," grinned her fa
I ther as his pretty wife took Dolly's
place on the arm of tbo chair.
I "There's only one kind of upholstery
' In the Heaver curs, laughed Mrs.
Wiles, pinching tier husband's ar.
1 "Boally, Harry, I've been wondering
If It Isn't A waste of money to buy as
cheap a limousine as that. I'd rather
wait until you can afford one that will
bo more substantial."
"I kuow your tricks." commented her
husband "Iteully. Woozly. I positive
ly cannot afford an expensive car."
"Harryl" That wheedling tone echoed
Id June's ears ns she skipped upstairs
with Dolly, and she knew that the
cheap little Beaver cur would not
stand In front of tbo Wiles' door. .
. It did not. . A good cur brought Mrs.
Wiles homo the very next duy.
Mrs. Ned Warner had been tnudo tre
mendously thoughtful by the affairs of
tbe little Wiles fumlly. There was
romctblng wroug In tho custom which
made this condition possible. What
was it? The positiou of donor and
recipient. Neither tbe man nor the
woman was really to blame. It was
custom. And June hue w what Mrs.
Wiles would not admit to herself. If
she suspected it that tbe man wus be
ing constantly wheedled beyond his
means.
Mrs. Wiles affocted even to herself
that his constunt resistance toward ex
penditure was tho uorinnl attitude of
a man toward the domestic spending
of money. It was tbe woman's busi
ness to get all she could and the man's
to resist
Tbe crush came sooner than June bad
expected. On the next evening nfter
the llmousluo bad come home there
hlni, Hiid Hliutvvtl nun ner lltllo purse
With a laugh. .
"It's a shame that n priaty" girl like
you has to worry about money." Aud
bis coal black eyes gazed down at ber
glowingly. . .
He tried to detain her. Catching ber
gently by the arm, he tried to urge her
Into bis car. using nil the persuasive
ness of bis eyes nud his smile und bis
suave courtesy, but she was obdurate. .
Suddenly he jumped Into bis limou
sine aud whirled away. He whs at
the employment agency before June
reached It and lie hud it cordial chat
with the employment agency woman.'
He banded her an -address ami. went
away... ,.' ,.,;: ;
June wuu delighted when she secured
an opening quickly and started .out
immediately for the place. i'or a mo
ment Juno felt an Intense dislike to tin'
ugly looking house nt the ttddrexs given
her and all that It might contain; then,
laughing nt ber own fancies, she strode
up tbo steps and rang the bell. Tho
door swung open silently, but no one
appeared.. Wondering, June walked
in. and the door slummed behind her.
Two minutes Inter Gilbert Blye walk

"Hurry, dear," she said. "Dolly and with cordiality.
I want a limousine! Please!"
Dolly clapped her hands.
. "After that limousine again." he gay-'
ly commented. "Not now, Woozly.
Business is too bad."
"I don't like' business," she laughed..
"It's n mean old thing, Isn't it, Dolly?
Harry, please!"
"Get thee behind mo, Woozly." The
man still laughed, but bo began to look
very seriously nt his charming wife.
"You'd 'get ' anything out of a man."
And bis laugh was half vexed, alto
gether admiring. .
Pretty Mrs. Wiles accepted that com
pliment prettily, but June, as she slip
ped out of tho library unobserved, was
hurt for the woman, for herself, for
her kind, as her face betrayed. Here
It was again tbe endless, almost un
varying story of the woman dependent
on the man's bounty and, in this case,
getting all she could out of him.
Ned and his detectives on that day
were down in tbe neighborhood of tbe
Hotel Daniel scouring the district Inch
by inch, as it were, for some trace of
the runaway bride, aud wherever they
went a small, flat nosed boy with one
soiled newspuper under his arm sleuth
ed after tbcm, slinking from tree to
tree and from doorwoy to doorway.
Little Dolly Wiles awoke in the night
to become aware of a light In the low
er floor of the duplex apartment Dad
dy! He wus at work In the library, as
he always was late at night here re
cently. Dolly felt herself privileged to
say good night to daddy, so she slipped
out and put on her bedroom slippers
and her pretty little lounging robe and
tripped downstairs.
June beard ber go and dressed in like
fashion. Harry Wiles bad his books
spread out before blm and a pen be
bind big ear.
"Daddy, are you going to get mother
a limousine?"
The man glanced ever at bis books
and ran his band across bis brow.
"Well, I promised mother tonight,"
be admitted, with reluctance, and bis
face grew grave.
"Goodyl" .The little girl clapped ber
bands.
"But will It be a nice big limousine?"
"Not an extraordinarily big one. Just
a proper sized limousine for little girls
like you and mother. Ob, come in.
Woozly r .
j Another Face Came to her, ' Ned!
walked lb to the house a grim Jawed,
hard eyed man of forty-flve, on whose
suit case were pasted foreign labels. v
Hello, linker!" - exclaimed. Wiles,
"A little personal business." Anil
Maker seated himself. '

i'nlng very nl'-ely," was the curl re
ply. ami linker shook hands with Dolly
liy liuil by the voices of tbo men lose
as they , became more interested In
their conversation, and thcj'e Moated
up to June an . emphatic speech of
Baker's which she could not help hearing-
.
"You've spent itl" Baker's words
were clean cut "In my absence of a
year and u half you've overdrawn your
account $50,000. Fifty thousand dol
lars wus the exact amount of your in
vestment. That makes us quits. You'll
turn over your share of the business
to me immediately."
"But that leaves me without a cent,
without an Income!" worried Wiles,
lie bad no blame for his partner, nor
was bo as much crushed as ho hud ex
pected to be. "I hiive a wife and a
child, you know, Baker, I could no
more refuse them anything than 1 could
refuse bread to a starving child."
"That's the trouble." Baker's voice
was not harsh. It, was simply cold.
"You've spoiled them. A wife should
bo a help to u man. and most of tbem
would if tbey were given a chance.
You made u toy of yours. "
Tho next morning Mrs. Wiles came
up to June. Shu hud been crying, but
there wus a light in ber eyes which
was good to see,
"I am very sorry," she said simply.
"We have bud u busiuess reverse, and
we shan't be able to keep you. The
fact of tbe mutter is tbat we don't hap
pen to have a cent in the bouse. 1
took all of Harry's pocket money yes
terday, and I spent It yesterday after
noon. 1 I I thnt Isn't quite the
truth," sbe suddenly blurted out. "We
are absolutely broke. We haven't any'
money at all,"
it hurt June to part with tbem. Shu
had liked them all, and when the little
girl hung around ber neck tbey cried
together, all three June and Mrs.
Wiles and Dolly.
Halfway up to the avenue .laae, .
walking along anil dnbbiug ber eyes
occasionally, was confronted by some
one, - Blye!
"Which way?" be asked.
"To the employment office," sbe told
