NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER 13.
DAPHNE'S hand shook a lit
tle as she hung up the re
ceiver. She didn't know
what to make of Ralph McKevitt.
She had been so happy, so proud
of finding a Job all herself.
"Oh that won't do at all!" he
had said disgustedly.
A little flame of rebellion flar
ed ud in her suddenly. He hadn't
any right to talk to her like that
It wasn't any of his business what
kind of position she took. Except
. . . except that she owed
him ten dollars, and he was the
only friend she had. in the world,
and she loved him.
"I can't help it if it is silly I
do love him. I always have, ever
since the first time I saw him!
she thought miserably, and blew
her nose. "Darn It, why did he
have to act so queer and spoil ev
erything?"
The Kaslight in the hall flick
ered faintly, a dim. red eye, but
light streamed from the kitchen
where old Mrs. Hinckie stood in
the doorway wiping gnarled
hands on a dingy apron. "You got
bad news, Miss Haines?"
"No nothing"
But the 'tears came before she
could get back to her room again
and close the door. The bottom
had dropped out of her brand new
world. Everything was spoiled.
"Nobody's going to talk to me
like that!" she whispered fiercely,
hugging her knees, trying to hard
en her heart against him.
But when she heard his ring
and he stood in Mrs. Hinckle's
doorway, ruddy. Inroad-shouldered,
smiline. she melted. Forgot
everything but that he was there?
Come to see her . . the won
derful talph McKevitt! 1 '
"I'll Ret my hat!" she cried
breathlessly, her heart bursting,
her knees weak as water.- When
she came back with last summer's
straw hat on her head and winter-before-lasfs
blue coat on her back
and knew that Mrs. Hinckie was
slyly peeking from the kitchen,
snd Flora McCardle boldly star
ing from the stairway, she nearly
burst with pride.
"Isn't it a wonderful night?
Isn't it wonderful!"
He looked -up and down the
commonplace street, and back to
Daphne, who had stars in her
eyes and roses in her cheeks, and
laughed. "You're a wonderful
girl!"
"Am I?" And she laughed too,
out of sheer happiness.
They drove through the park
where the shrubs were spicy and
sweet and the tall trees black and
sinister against a faintly moonlit
sky.
And then" she could smell the
jalt wind and hear the pounding
of the surf, and they wers on a
road near the sea, alons . .
Ralph and she. . .
She felt his arm behind her,
drawing her to him. "I shouldn't
let him," she thought, remember
ing the warnings of the prim lit
tle school teacher she had been
to fond of, and the veiled hints
of her stepmother about what
happened to girls who were "too
easy."
She sighed, and let her head
rest against his shoulder. She
didn't want to think, she just
wanted to be near him . . al
ways. . ,.
He began to talk. "Look here.
you don't want to work in a big
office, all full of gnm-cnewing
stenographers, do you?"
"N-no, but you can't pick out
the kind you want. Why, I've
been weeks and weeks Just get
ting any kind. Why, 1 though
'Wouldn't you rather worn
somewhere in a nice office where
you'd have a chance to show what
you could do, and get more mon
ey for less work?"
"Yes, but "
"And movo out of that mauso
leum where you're living into a
decent sort of place wouldn t
you?"
Of course!"
'Well then, you quit that Job
you have and leave everything to
me. I'll fix things "
'But it might take a long time.
Couldn't I lust keep it until
'Hold on who s running this?
Didn't I tell you I'd manage this?"
"But I didn't know you meant
"I meant I'd take care of you.
Didn't I tell you that?"
Sh blinked up at him, her small
white face radiant with wonder
and love. He leaned toward her.
laughing, and she closed her eyes
and let him kiss her.
"He's mine now all mine!"
she thought, asd triumph and
pain shot. through her, and over
whelming happiness.
After a while he drove on again
and they went into a warm, bright
roadhouse where there was a
great fireplace and people dining
and dancing. She ate something
and drank something, she hard-
lv knew what. Ginger ale with
something added out of a flat sil
ver flask Ralph had in a back
pocket.
"Good stuff," he said, "it won't
hurt you!"
It was a golden night, a night
of dreams. Unreal. Like something
out of the Arabian Nights.
' He glanced at the watch on his
wrist. "Half past eleven, and I've
Eot to be at the office at seven

there's a big bond issue break
ing. You didn't know I was a
bond salesman now, did you?"
"No," she said smiling. He
might have said ditch-digger or
President of the United States,
it wouldn't have mattered. He
was Ralph that was enough.
"Well, it's a little better than
that. I have my own business,
stocks and bonds."
'T hat'i wonderful ! " she
breathed..
"You're a fraud," he laughed
back. "You don't know the dif
ference between a bond office and
a peanut stand. Come on. we've
got to be moving, it's getting
late.
The house was very quiet when
Daphne tiptoed into the hall, but
there was a light in Miss Viola's
parlor, where she sat yawning
over a dress sne was iimsmng.
Miss Viola pushed the green
velveteen curtains aside and poked
a disheveled grayish head into the
hall. "Is that yon. Miss Haines?

Daphne wavered In the door-

"I had a wonderful time!" she
said finally.
"Oh, were you out somewhere T
And then, scenting romance:
"With your young man?"
Yes. with someone I knew
at home"
She was still floundering, em
barrassed by Miss Viola's curious
little eyes, when she felt a hand
behind her waist, and there was
Flora McCardle, cigarette in hand
hat on the back of her head, a
great bunch of roses and lilies of
the valley dying on her shoulder,
"So you've been stepping, too?
I saw you go out. Who is he?
Daphne blushed. "That one
was telling you about this morn
ing"
"Yes. 1 know but what's his
name I've seen him somewhere

Flora . "hvughed indulgently.
"Sure you did. I forgot. What's
he going to do get you a Job?"
"I got myself a Job today, but
he . doesn't want me to keep
it," she added, remembering un
comfortably that he had been in
sistent about It. She had forgot-
Iten everything but the kiss.
"Planning to look oat for you

It was so nearly what Ralph
had said, that Daphne stared at
her in astonishment. "Why "
Flora ehnekled. "I know I got

"Good night." Daphne said
quickly, and went to her room.
She hated them both.

All Kinds of Lamb Chops
HO EVER has the Job of
cooking for two one of
whom must have meat for
dinner-1 knows there's nothing
like chops. It's the kind of meat
you can buy In exactly the quan
tity you want, knowing there will
be no wasterul lelt-overs. it can
be cooked very quickly, with little
trouble. And practically every
body like chops because they are
the most flavorful, most delicate
of the meat cuts.
Moreover, you can have quite a
variety of dishes, even though you
stick to chops as a standby. There
are all kinds of chops, and several
ways of preparing them which are
very easy.
Favorite of course, is lamb. Rib
and loin are the most expensive
parts. The rib contains the long
bone and a very little round of
delicate meat. (The bone may be
scraped and before serving cov
ered with a paper frill if you must
be fancy). The loin has very little
bone, and is tender and Juicy.
Both these chops may be treated
like steak oven or pan-broiled
and finished In a short time.
Shoulder lamb chops are well
flavored, but they are not quite
so tender, have more bone and fat,
and take a longer time to cook.
In this country we are pernlck
etty about names and so ever
ything is called lamb, if possible,
even though it is rightfully in the
mutton class. Why mutton should
be avoided nobody knows, because
mutton is merely a more mature
meat. True, it may have a stronger
flavor, but this can be subdued.
If It Is not liked, by rubbing the
meat with a little lemon Juice be
fore cooking. As far as nourish
ment goes, mutton has really more
nutrition value, pound for pound,
than lamb. High grade meat
should be a good red color, the fat
creamy, white snd solid.
Broiled Lamb or Rib Chops

thick, and remove the thin skin on
the outside of the fat. Heat the

WORRY IS A COMMON
CA USE OF INSOMNIA
Sleeplessness, One of the Most Trying of Human
Experiences, May Be Forerunner of Serious
Trouble Look to the General Health.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York
Former eommlttioner cf Health. Veto York Cxty.
ONE ef the most trying of human experiences is the inability to
sleep. Even a murderer will give himself up if be cannet sleep.
Loss of sleep has driven men and women to suicide. It has made
them mad.
The doctors call sleeplessness "insomnia." It
Is regarded as so important that whole books are
devoted to the subject. Insomnia is looked upon
as a serious ailment.
There are many causes for sleepless nights.
Bad news, fright, shock from any cause, may so
disturb the nervous system that sleep is out of
.the question. When the acute agony subsides
gentle sleep will return.
A more serious form of insomnia is 'that
which comes from worry. "Worry killed a cat,"
the old saying goes. But it isn't the cat alone
that suffers. Many a man and many a woman
has tossed on beds of worry, utterly viable to
sleep. The affairs of the day have become the
worries of the night.
Things can be so black about three o'clock
in the morning I At that hoar life seems indeed
hopeless i
Sometimes it Is difficult to determine whether worry is the cans
