PARI8 ---. ------t , 1922, br McClure N.wtpaper Syndicate "Tickets, pleuse." Dorothy Murtln roused herself from her book sulllclently to put tier lmn! Into her cont pocket. But liei purs' wusn't there 1 She reached Into tile pocket on the other slue. Then slit looked up at the conductor In dismay a grim, sour-looking old uinn nlio looked ua If be would make uIIiiuuihos for no one. "But I'm sure my purse was In my pocket when I boarded the train. It must be here." While he waited she searched fran tlcally on the seat, uuder the sont. In her traveling bag. In her lint lm. Then, (lushed and breathless, she looked up. "I'm sorry I can glvp you a check. And here's uiy iiorsunul card." "Sorry. Wo don't take no checks, miss." "What can I do?" "You'll have to get off at the nuxi stop St. Michael a hundred mile? further on. And I'll have to usk you to go Into the conch." It wns a flushed and Indignant young woman who gnthered up bur baggage and followed the conductor Into the hot, stuffy coach. About midday she found herself on the station platform, her patent leath er luggnge beside her. "Porter, miss?" But she had no money with which to pay for such a luxury, so, much to his disgust, she struggled Into the ticket office, up to the window, nnd nsked for n telegraph blank. "Lost purse. Telegraph one hun dred to me at St. Michael. Dorothy." "Yes, It can go collect. Walt a min ute." To the astonishment of the waiting clerk, she tore the telegram Into small pieces. "I've changed my mind." And she strode across the room to the lunch counter. "Is thnt Job niled?" pointing eager ly to a sign, "Waitress Wanted," be fore the cashier's window. The woman looked up, took In nt u single glance ever.v detnil In the ap pearance of the slim, aristocratic-looking girl standing before her. "No'm. It nln't." "1 want It." "Joe, Joe," cnlled the woman In n high, mif.nl voice. "This gal wants yer job. She don't look like much, but mehbe she'll be better'n nothing." Before Dorothy wns nwure of what hnd happened, she was behind the counter, serving the hungry hordes who hnd ridden with her to St. Ml chnel nnd who were clntnorlng denfen Ingly for eggs, sandwiches, custard pie and coffee as If they hadn't consumed baskctfuls of food In the preceding three hours. St. Michael was an ugly, sprawling settlement of about twenty frame houses dirty, weather-beaten, deso late. One week rolled by, two. In two more weeks Dorothy would have saved enough to get home. She hnd Just lifted a huge, steaming kettle of soup to the tablo In her cor ner of the counter when the Burling ton train roared In. Hnrdly had Its- brakes brought It to a standstill when a throng of men burst through the doors. The women and children al ways straggled In and tried to push through the men three-deep at the counter. As she reached for n cup, a familiar voice rang out, "Dorothy." A tall young mau was pushing toward the counter. "I think you are mistaken, sir." "Dorothy I" "Move on there, young fellow. You can't be annoying my girls. Move on." "But" "Move ou, didn't I tell you7" It was Joe, nnd he was ndvnnclug threaten ingly upon the young man. "Oh, Dick" then her voice broke. "No, uo, Joe; he knows me; It's all right. I'm to blame." Before she knew how It nil hap pened Dorothy was Jn Dick's anus, sobbing fitfully. "But why did you do It, dear? Hnveu't you seen the papers? We've been nenrly frantic." "I almost telegraphed dad. I was prepared for oven his 'I told you so." And then I taw tho sign, 'Waitress Wanted,' nnd I thought It would be a lark to eurn my own way home. It's been hnrd, Dickie, but " The limited cnrrled an extra passen ger when It left St. Michael. The Pull man folk were rather curious and amused nt the solicitude with which an arlstocratlc-looklug young man peeled eggs and unwrapped sand wiches for an equally aristocratic looking but ravenously huugry younr voman A Letter Changed. She wns u stenographer who would lue out sentences, paragraphs, too, when she couldn't rend the hieroglyph ten In her book during tho two weeks that she lingered wlUi an advertising ugeucy. The head of the agency was away for a couplo of days. A client tele graphed that he was coming to the city. Would Mr. Williamson bo In his office? Tb? president's secretary dic tated a 4wply: "Sorry. Mr. William son li away trap shooting; will return Thursday," The tel'jrrain was dispatched.
