The iilit of the rind- looking tranter v m had ilasheil tjp the stairs behind the tnowrs. intruded on her thoughts to an aina.ins decree. What differ ence coiii ! it possibly make to her that hp owned a cute dog. and had a L-ay. breezy manner? If phe did not fititfh a certain minuter of jingles be fore night, she wouldn't have the rent money when it was due. Then hhe would have to o back home in i;ioerM ille and teach the thin! grade .tnd prohably v cut ttally accept Joe VilItains. with his bulging eyes, as her aunt and uncle hoped she would, and settle down to the routine of it Mind town. She wondered now why she had ever thought she could find a job in the city all by herself. "Sorry, but we're not putting on any more people," had been the in arialle ntiwer, when she bad to admit she did not have any experience -riling things, or kfepin; books, or doing Menogrnphy. Then hhe had happened upon u firm that wanted rh? me for greet mg cjrds. Ves. she could do thut. Hadn't j she mnle jingles all her life jut for! fun? Why not sell them then?

Cheer, near. hear, dear- that doff had had thedearest. bright black eye?, and such a cute red tongue. Sdimatz was what the young man had called htm. She wondered why pitch a ipieer name. Maybe some girl had given him in his master. Of course there would be a girl. No fellow that good looking could possibly escape. She hadn't seen I'at yet to ak about th new. tenant. Oh dear, where was she? A frown creased ber pretty fore head, and she wrote down a line, then attentively inspected the eraser on ber pencil as though it might hold nn in pirat ion. Nothing happened, so she got up and made a cup of leu and poured it into a gay yellow cup winch she took from the cupboanl in her furnished apartment. What fun if he only had someone to drink the other cupful that the teapot held. Her glance strayed a"bout the si udio. It was really quite pretty. Cay cretonne drapes and red geraniums in brass pots made hright splotches of color. She certainly ought to be able to rhyme cheer and dear if only that gnawing loneliness would let her. In the hall outside, I'at's broom kept pace with his thoughts too. That young fellow upstairs did seem a like ly prospect as a friend for .Mis-: Kathy, but how to bring him to her not ice.
