NOW GO ON WITH THE STORT
CHAPTER 14.
ALL roomers were interested
In the nicftel trimmed yel
low car that drove up to
the curb in front of Mrs. Hinckle's
every night, and in the good look
ing young man who climbed out
of It. ,
"Plastered with money!" Flora
HeCardle told Mrs. Spellman and
Mrs. Halliday.
"Hmmm, if McCardle knows so
much about him he can't be much
food." Mrs. Bpellman observed.
"Well, I wouldn't want this to
go any farther, but I'm a great
believer in a working girl staying
In her own class. You mark my
R-ords. Mrs. Spellman. that poor
rirl will live to rue the day "
"You don't mean ?"
"Well, every night it's later. I
woke up last, night .long after
midnight in fact I thought it
was the milkman, and I was go
ing to.- say to Mr. Halliday . .
what, war , I saying? . ,
"About her coming in late"
"Oh, yes, I raised up in bed. and
looked out, and there he was kiss
ing her on the steps. I didn't say
anything to Mr. Halliday, but I
Just thought 'Well if any man but
my husband ' "
"He must have fine intentions,
Mrs. Spellman murmured, nearly
ruining the sock in her excite
ment. .
They talked about it .-11 day.
Daphne did a lot of day-dreaming.
More than she knew. Some
times she would hold a card in her
hand for five minutes at a time,
looking at it and through it, her
mind a thousand miles away, be
fore slipping it into the typewriter
at the office.
"Well, really!" Miss Abram9
who was in charge of the office
said, to her first assistant, "I'm
afraid I'll have to get rid of Miss
Haines, and it's a pity because she
is such a neat typist, and so quick
to get on to things, but she moons
so in love, suppose "
And the first assistant who had
muddy skin and stoop shoulders
said, "I know, and it isn't a very
good influence on the other
girls"
I'll speak to her. Miss Abrams
decided, but she didn't speak; she
had lots to think of.
So Daphne continued to walk on
air. She practically lived on air,
too. She was saving for a new
hat.
"I'll pay you back on Saturday,"
she told Ralph. "We get paid
twice a month, on the first and
the fifteenth. I've been there two
weeks just think $42.50!"
"Outrage!" he growled. "You
can't live on that. If I don't get
you twice that I'll give up. I'm
going to get you a real position,
say fifty a week; that's a decent

"Oh, but he does! He does!"
She told herself feverishly, dress

high, streaked mirror in her room.
Twice she went to the window
to tee If there was fog blowing
In on the wind from the sea. But
It waa still warm and balmy. "Oh,

When she was all ready, even
to the doeskin gloves and the per
fume behind her ears, the sat
down with a book to wait. But
she couldn't keep her mind on the
printed page. Her whole being
was turned to the telephone . .

Good Looks Not

Woman On Jury
PATTERSON, N. J., April 25.
(AP) "Dapper Dan" Collins,
alleged confidence man of inter
national notoriety was convicted
by a Jury tonight of having par
ticipated in a conspiracy through
which Thomas Weber, an Egg
Harbor City, N. J., fruit grower,
was fleeced of 130,000.
The jury that convicted Collins
was made up of eight women and
four men. "His good looks sway
ed us neither one way nor the
other." Miss Letitia W. Willett.
youngs school .teacher forewoman
of the Jury said.
ful!" she" said wistfully.
But Ralph would not take back
his ten dollars until he 'had found
her a position, and though it
weighed on her conscience, she
was a little glad. She could buy a
hat now. and maybe shoes.
She had the hat picked out long
before she had the money to
pay for It. On Saturday it was
still there waiting for her when
she counted out the money. New
shoes she bought too, and a pair
of chiffon stockings, and a lovely
pair of pale doeskin gloves that
she found on the dollar table. She
really couldn't afford the dollar,
but they were so lovely and so
cheap.
And finally, with a feeling of
reckless, guilty extravagance, she
purchased a new pink powder puff
and some real French perfume.
"Really, a quarter of an ounce is
the least we ever sell, madam!"
She could smell it through the pa
per that covered it, holding it to
her nose furtively, when the other
passengers weren't looking, on
her way home in the street car.
Perfume . . Crystal used
to say men liked it . .If only
the weather would stay warm, so
that she could go without her
coat.
Miss Viola saw her coming in
with the hat bag and ran to open
the door. "Did you get a new
hat? Oh . blue . .rose
is more my color. Do you mind if
I try it on?"
Old Mrs. Hinckle put down her
dust mop to finger it, too. "I hope
it don't fade . .it's nice, aber
it wouldn't do for me "
Daphne almost burst out laugh
ing . . old Mrs. Hinckle with
her darling blue hat! But her eyes
filled . .poor old things, work

have any fun

GOOD-NIGHT
STORIES' t
By Uu ,IMI
THE predicament of Knarf was
anything but pleasant, MiJI,
Flor. Hanld and Yam the
other little shadow-children with
the turned-about names stood
rooted to the spot, unable to come
to the aid of their comrade.
Knarf, you remember, was
caught between two fires In the
Big Fireplace, that being where
all the flames In the world went
after they went out. Each flame
occupied its own separate fire
place. Being curious, and mischie
vous to boot. Master Knarf, delib
erately poked Forest Fire and
House-a-FIre, whereupon they
both flared up so angrily that he
found himself caught between
them.
It looked very much as though
the little shadow-boy was about
to be destroyed, for he grew faint
er and fainter. Too much light Is
the worst thing for shadows, you
know. Observe your own shadow
and see whether it doesn't always
use you to shield it from the light.
All at once, however, the Fire
Men the little gnomes who tend
ed the various fires came rush
ing to Knarf's rescue.
"Get back, get back!" they
shouted to the two angry flames.
"Get back before we sprinkle you
with water!"
It was plain that the flames
were terribly afraid of this threat,
and shrank back at once: Never
theless they continued to stick
their tongues out at Knarf and
would have liked to- clutch him tn
their arms, for they had arms
fire-arms.
Knarf was glad to join' the Oth
ers again.' "You gave us an alarm"
Hanld said to him.
"a fire-alarm." added Miji.
In a few moment Knarf recov
ered his usual spirits and went to
see what the Fire-Men were do
ing. They appeared to be distrib
uting dried biscuits of some sort
to all the flames.
"We're giving them fire-crackers,"
explained the gnomes ' in re
sponse to Knarf's question.
"Aren't you afraid they'll ex
plode?" Inquired Yam, who, with
the other shadows had joined
Knarf.
The gnomes shook their heads.
"You must be thinking of Fourth
of July crackers," they declared.
In the back of the Big Fire
place was a gnome sitting at 'a
high desk. Every few minutes a
fire-bug or a firefly would hurry
in through a little opening In the
wall, step up to the desk and an
nounce: "A match for such-and-such-a-plaee,"
or "A candle
flame." or "A bonfire at the cor
ner of such-and-such-a-corner"
at which the gnome would imme
diately make a sign to one or the
other various fireplaces and the
flames darted out at once.
"Come back ah soon as you're
out," the gnome warned them.

-Get Back!" They Shetiled.
Some would come' back almost in
stantly; others as particularly
the bonfire returned only after
a long while
An odd fact was that all the
fires were exactly the same size,
about the size of a match-flame.
"They all start small." the gnome
explained,- "but some of them
grow exceedingly large all of a
sudden."
"Just like House-a-Fire and
Forest Fire." interrupted Knarf.
'tlouse-a-Fire started as a
match-flame: Instead of being
blown out, It was carelessly
thrown on the floor and left, to
burn. It grew big in a few mln-
OUTSTANDING In Dorothy's
well-kept kitchen is her very
large white enamel refrigerator.
"Yes. Isn't It nice!" she sair
bitterly, "it's a grand place to
melt things in. Only bought it
last year and it's miraculous how
things can stay lukewarm In an
Icebox but they do in this treas
ure. Wish I could afford one of
these legless contraptions."
It did seem odd that a refriger
ator apparently so well-built could
be defective. But after listening
to what Dorothy did. it was plain
that no fault could be attached to
the refrigerator. No household
equipment will give good service
with bad treatment. And Doro
thy was positively inspired when
It came to doing what was wron
with a refrigerator.
.For one thing she never kept it
properly filled. They were a small
family, never half filled the food
chamber in the refrigerator, and
therefore she decided that it was
not necessary to buy much ice.
The ie chamber was never full
consequently the refrigerator nev
er got thoroughly cold. The little
block of Ice melted quickly each
day. Then she resorted to the
makeshift of covering it with thick
paper in order to prevent such ra
pid melting. Which is the wort
utes and then the fire-department
had to put it out. Forest Fire
started as an Innocent little camp
fire. When the campers went away
they forgot all about the fire. By
and by it grew so big that all the
trees for miles and miles were
burnt to cinders.
At this moment a firefly an
nounced: "Match-flame for the
real-children's mother to see if
the real-children are asleep."
"Hurry," shouted Hanit, to MiJ.
Flor, Yam, and Knarf. "We have
to go home at once."
