: The Janitor s little Kin murmured a
word of thanks for the penny bestowed
upon her and scampered back down
stairs, while Elizabeth returned to the
parlor with the mall which' the child
bad just brought.
It was a comfortable little city apart
ment, and only the typewriter table lu
ont corner betrayed the fact that It
was a work as well as a piny room.
Through an arch an absurdly small
dining room with the table laid for
one proclaimed it to be the home of a
bachelor girl, though Elizabeth Bel
knap's dainty femininity gave no sug
gestion of splnsterhood either from
choice or circumstance.
The coffee percolator steamed on the
table unheeded while she ran through
her letters a check for a story, two
manuscripts, a paper and a thin, flat
package bearing a foreign stamp.
Elizabeth frowned over one letter,
mlled over another, patted the check
lovingly as she thrust it Into the draw
er of her tiny desk and ripped the cov
ering from tbe package. Out fell a
playbill, a glaring thing of red and
blue letters on yellow paper, bearing
the list of artists appearing at a Ro
man music hall.
One of the names was marked with
an Inky cross, and in defiance of postal
regulations Nell Stanwood had written
on the margin: "Do you remember we
saw her at the theater the night be
fore I sailed? It's a small world, after
11."
tiizaoetn smiled at the remem
brance. Four other girls and herself
had given Xell a going away party
the night before the latter sailed to
study in Italy. They had wound up
the evening at a vaudeville theater,

where the little dancer of the glaring
programme had appeared. Now, Nell
In Rome had seen the same act and
had remembered their last night to
gether. Was she homesick?
It was several moments before Eliza
beth opened the newspaper, the old
fcome paper and "as good as a letter,"
ao Jack Hardy had often declared.
Not an item of news worth the telling
escaped publication in the Blairsville j
Beacon, for even with detailed infor-1
matlon as to newly painted fences the ;
editor found it difficult to fill his yawn- j
lng- columns.
The Beacon was Hardy's compro
mise with his conscience, for he had !
declared when Elizabeth had deter- j
mined to leave Blairsville for the j
greater opportunities of the city that
lie would not write. He had not writ-'
ten, but after the first week the Bea-
eon came regularly, addressed in his 1
strong, masculine handwriting, and j
Elizabeth always smiled a softly tri- j
omphant smile whenever the copy ar-

with the editors. j
Hardy had frowned upon the sug-
the few other attraction that made
Blairsville were traveling mairlcians.
"Uncle Tom's OaM-i" companies and
an occasion::! "t"" ''m- ?;;nv" The
Rice & Bennett coair-nny v :,3 to Blalrs-
rille what grand open: :.; to the cities.
I.:: t year she anU Jack h.nl ut tended
tiie spring performances togi'tlier, but
lu Ji'll she was gone. How time
il;ul flown! The Rice & Bennett com-I's'-iiy
would open their spring engage
ment the following week, and Jack had
sent her a hanger. An odd lump came
Hi uer throat as she returned to tbe
table and her neglected coffee.
When she started to tidy up after the
meal she thumb tacked the Italian
poster to the wall of her tiny private
hall. The wall was bare, and the yel
low poster with its foreign lettering
gave a smart touch to the hall, like
hotel labels on a steamer trunk or suit
case.
Elizabeth sat down to the typewriter,
but presently there came an Insistent
ring at the hall door. Tony, the rosy
faced Italian, who supplied the ten
ants of the house with ice, displayed
two rows of gleaming teeth as he ex
plosively announced "Ice!" Elizabeth
held open the door for him while he
lifted the cake from the dumb waiter
and placed It In her refrigerator.
But the smile faded from Tony's
face as he turned to leave. With an
inarticulate cry he sprang at the post
er, fingering It lovingly and scanning
every word of the beloved Italian.
"It is from the home." be explained,
blushing, when the first shock of sur
prise had passed. "It is to there that 1
take a what you call sweetheart?
Ah, to the Salone Margherlta, me an'
my Marie. , Marie she cannot leav-a da
pop da fard'. I coine-a to America to
muke-a mon. It is ver" lonely, sign or a
Scus-a ml."
He shuffled haltingly from tbe apart
ment, his jovial face drawn with home
sickness and thoughts of the distant
Marie.
Elizabeth went back to her work. On
the floor the Rice & Bennett playbill
still lay neglected, but now it caught
her attention, and she picked it up to
read, even as Tony had done with the
other, every word of the familiar an
nouncement.
She wondered if Jack would be go-
lug. If so, who would be in her place?
Mrs. Hardy did not care for the the
ater, and It was not fair to expect
Jack to go alone. She smiled at her
jealous thoughts and sat down reso
lutely before her typewriter, but she
found that the thread of the story
which had started so well was lost.
She could not force her mind to con
centrate upon the adventures of an
imaginary heroine. Her attention per
sistently wandered to the playbill on
the floor.
She could see the opera bouse with
out even shutting her eyes. The roller
skating craze had somewhat revived
Its original glories. The common
"Rules and Regulations" tacked up cn
the walls with "Beacon Job Print" iu
large type beneath the phrase. "By
order of the management." Sho could
hear the ragged strains of the three
piece orchestra, and she knew that
Will Tabor and Ren Blake would hus
tle Importantly through the stage, en
trance. They were always the "and
others" on the programme, the nrmv
In "I mler Two Hags" and "A Cele
brated Case." the miners in "The l.in
Ites. etc. It was all so vivid that
she seemed really to be there. With a
choking laugh nt her new emotions she
ripped the story from her typewriter
and slipped In a fresh sheet.
John Hardy. Blairsville:
riease get Boats fur all next week. I
am coming home tomorrow.
ELIZABETH.
Then she gazed about the coy little
flat. It would be very different in
BlnlrsvlUe. and she knew that In send
Ing that message she had virtually an
nounced her surrender, but she hum
med a blithe little song as she put on
her hat and prepared to take the tele
gram to the ollke. When she came to
the narrow hall she stopped and took
down the Italian poster and. with the
one from home, placed it In tbe drawer
of her desk.
"You've carried your messages," she
whispered to them as she smoothed
tbe folds, "but I want to keen you
for remembrance and warning. To
Tony and me you meant home. I'm
more fortunate than Tony, for I'm go
ing nome-to Jack."

Hardy knew that to go to the city
meant beginning all over again the
fight for a competence.
There had been heated words over
Elizabeth's determination to leave, and
she had been given her choice of a ca

favor of the career. She had prosper

Today there was an lnclosure with

company was almost an Institution In

one who could afford it attended all
their performances. It was the one
