WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR
Daphne Haines, seventeen and
lovely, finds life Intolerable be
cause of a nagging, Jealous step
mother whose main aim is to pro
mote a courtship between her own
daughter. Crystal, and wealthy,
attractive Ralph McKevht. Catch
ing a fleeting glimpse of Daphne,
the rivalry of the younger girl,
schemes to eliminate her from
the scene. Daphne dfopnrayed
when she realizes how completely
these two calculating women have
her father in their power, com
forts herself by spinning secret
dreams of a day when someone

powerful, handsome, like Ralph!
A sordid quarrel is provoked be

cause of the woman's reckless ex
penditures.. Subtly Mrs. Haines
draws Daphne into the brawl.
Feeling the hopelessness of her
situation. Daphne determines to
make her own way in the world,
and leaves for San Francisco.
With twenty dollars capital she
seeks employment and learns it is
hard to find. Daphne has an un
pleasant experience with a pros
pective employer and in her haste
to get away from him, leaves a
purse containing her last rive uoi
lars la. his office. The wolf seems
perilously close

CHAPTER IX.
XT AD Gartz taken the five dol-
ll lars to punish her, or make
her come back to claim it?
Or the black-satin girl, could it
have been she? Daphne wonder
ed, speculating upon the possibil
itie as she might have if it had
been someone else's purse, some
other girl's hard luck. Perhaps
the money fell out earlier in the
day'. . but it didn't matter
. . she didn't care very much.
-I'm glad I gave him the fifty
cents, poor old fellow!" she
thought with a faint glow of sat
isfaction remembering the elevator-man's
pleasure. "It'll make a
difference to him. I know he
didn't take the money anyway "
"You could ink that place on
your heel so the hole wouldn't
Bhow so much," the girl next to
her said, pointing to the gaping
hole in Daphne's stocking again.
"I used to ink -my leg when I got
holes In black stockings. I always
wear beige now beige are better
- a run hardly shows "
"But there's no beige ink!"
Daphne giggled. Beige ink! What
a crazy idea! She giggled again,
hysterically.
The girl turned away, disgusted
with her, and Daphne sank back
into the half stupor that had
claimed her. She sat thero all day,
rousing herself at intervals, to
answer the questions that were
put to her. No, she hadn't had any
experience in a bank. No, she
couldn't run a comptometer. No,

she found herself at the ferry, and
then, far up the Emb&rkadero, at

Miles and miles to walk, and she
was so tired, she had walked so
far. She'd ride home, spend that
last five cents. You can't buy any
thing with five cents anyway, no
use keeping it .Yes, and if
she did that she'd have to walk
back In the morning. How long
can you live without eating? Thir
ty days, forty days? How long
canyou hang around an employ
ment agency without getting a
Job? Forever maybe. Besides her
room rent would be up In six
days, and then what?

"You sit here Quietly on the

she didn't mind working in a
pickle factory . . .
It really looked as though she
might get the pickle job, but they
finally decided to "let her know
later." Daphne knew what ithat
meant.
I ought' to feel simply awful!"
she thought on her way back from
the pickle factory, "it's twenty
four hours since I've eaten, and
only five cents and no Job "
But she wasn't even hungry any
more, and she was as light-hearted
as she was light-headed. Noth
ing mattered. She bad stopped
worrying about what was going to
happen to her.
When the office closed at half
past five she walked leisurely
down Market street, pausing to
look in the windowns. . Hard
ware. Gentleman's furnishings.
Office supplies. Camping outfits.
She looked at them all, impar
tially, seeing nothing.
Street cars jangled past, auto
mobiles pressed close to the curb
in the rush of traffic, commuters
bound for the ferry brushed her
impatiently aside. And it came to
her, suddenly, that she was the
only one in all that hurrying
crowd who wasn't rushing some
where for dinner. There came a
sinking feeling the middle of her
stomach, a queer gnawing.
"But I'm not really hungry!"

There's a Dozen Health Articles in This Creed of
the Venerable Oil Magnate, Says Dr. Copeland,
Urging That We All Adopt It for Our Own.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York
Former Commitsioner 9f Health, Veto York City.
FREQUENTLY I am asked, "How in the world do you think ct
things about which to write?" To one who has not had the
experience, it seems a difficult task to find subjects for
health articles.
But really, it isn't difficult One source ef
information is the public press. There is hardly
an issue of a newspaper that hasn't an article '
about something with a health angle. - j
For instance, as I write, I have on my lap the :
current number of a Washington paper. On the !
front page is an interview with John D. Rocke
feller, Sr. Among other things, I find these wise
words from the wealthy sage: "1 live moderately
and I chew my food thoroughly."
There are a dosen articles in that statement.
But the paper has more. On page 10 ef the
paper is the pronouncement ef a well-known
French surgeon, who says: "Criminals are
nothing less than sick people.'' We must prevent
crime, ne states j we must "escape this state of
barbarism in which men are living like primitive
f atalivta iMtlMtvinv that crime . mm Inv1tahl mm
thnnder ar as Mrthanske." Snlendid! '
' Let us return to Mr. Rockefeller's interview: "My health Is
good. My heart is all right; it gives me no trouble. I live moderately
and I chew my food thoroughly. I have many friends. I have learned
to enjoy life and I am happy. I thank God for the blessings Be has

When be counts his blessing, Mr.
Rockefeller names only the thing
.that each of us can have. He did
not think of money, beyond a petket
ful of bright silver dimes.
He thought of health and friend
ship. These make it possible for
him te enjoy life and to be happy.
In many things I have not always
agreed with this famous man. But
; to this philosophy of life I am la
fullest accord. f
Good health Is better 'than great

however, he jumped down into
the midst of the little garden
painted on the plate. It was no
use trying to get rid of him, then.
"Promise you won't pry into
things," the others demanded.
Knarf promised. "I won't," he In
sisted, "I won't at all."
They crossed over the little
bridge. On the other bank, tied
to a bush, was a rowboat with a
single pair of oars.
"Let's talco It," suggested
Knarf at once.
"Oh, no," cried Hanid. "we
can't do that. It doesn't belong
to us."
"It will if we take it," said
Knarf. Somehow this didn't seem
to be just right. But as the boat
seemed to belong to nobody and
the little stream looked very in
viting, they finally boarded it.
All at once they saw a croco
dile sitting on the bank.
"How do you do!" cried the
crocodile with a friendly smile.
"Have you heard the news?"
"What news?" exclaimed Knarf
at once. You see he was a very
curious shadow-boy.
"Don't talk to him,'" cautioned
Hanid. "Crocodiles are dangerous.
They'll chew you up."
"You're mistaken. said the
crocodile, opening his mouth as
wide as It would go. "X haven't a
single tooth so I can't possibly
chew you up. Moreover," he added
regretfully. T don't eat anything
hut crackers and milk." And he
fetched a sigh.
He looked harmless enough, so
they rowed over to him.
"What's the news you were go
ing to tell us?" inquired the cur
ious Knarf again. The crocodile
brightened up a bit.
"Today," he announced cheer
fully, "is my birthday."
"Congratulations!" cried Miji,
Flor, Hanld and Yam. As for
Knarf, he merely said: "H,ow old
are you?"
"I'm aweet sixteen," replied
the crocodile bashfully.
"Sixteen!" exclaimed Yam.
"You look older than that!"
added Hanid. -f
"You look more like " began
Flor.
" like sixty!" concluded Miji.
"I worry a great deal," admit
ted the crocodile mournfully. It
was plain he wasn't at all happy.
Miji Flor, Hanid and Yam shook
their heads pityingly. Master
Knarf did nothing of the sort.
His curiosity wouldn't let him.
"What are you worrying
about? he asked.
"I'm worrying," he replied,
choking a sob. "I'm worrying
about whether I'll receive my
birthday presents."
"And do you think you will?"
cried Knarf before anyone could
stop him.
The crocodile rocked his head.
"No-no-no!" he shouted. "I'm
sure I won't get a single one."
Hereupon he burst into tears.
Crocodile tears are by no means
like ordinary tears. They are as
large as watermelons. The boat
shook wildly in the waves of
tears.
"Stop trying!" exclaimed the
shadows In alarm.
"Why don't you dry your
eyes?" asked
Knarf.

was so situated that it was always
a very warm room. What to do?
An electric fan might help some,
but rt couldn't keep everybody
comfortable. So she abandoned
the idea of trying to alter the at
mosphere and decided on making
people think they were cool.
Instead of the usual floral cen

The appearance of a house has
a good deal to do with what ono
feels about heat. A room clutter
ed up with things makes it seem
stuffy and warm even when
really it is not. The old custom of
swathing furniture and pictures
in summer covers, and stripping
the floors of rugs, did make the
house look cool, although they
also uglified it a good deal.
There are better solutions, how
ever. A house can be made to
look cool and yet be the most at
tractive in appearance. First thing
to do is to remove objects that are
not needed particularly. Most
rooms that are lived In and look
it, have t66much in them
which is cozy enough ordinarily.
But in sunrmer too many objects
are oppressive to the eye not to
mention the additional work they
entail. Packed away they are a
relief to the housekeeper, clear
up the room, and when restored
to their places in the fall will be
welcome as new furniture.
