That's it Jump to the catwalk. Come on. Jump!" Her teeth act, holding back her fear with an effort that was like warding off a physical blow, Bea trice dung to the (irL She doted her eyes for a tiny second. The narrow black catwalk, the thine of the tracks, the swift thought of how horrible it mutt be to be pushed off the platform to be crushed under the wheels of an oncoming train. ... Then she jumped, and the Jar of her tail heels on the wooden walk shocked through her. It brought common sense with it, and a Quick, steady ing sanity. "I'm aU right," she said. "Sorry I was silly." "Multiply tt by a few thousand, honey, and you've got a riot," re plied the girL "I know mobs. Getting scared Is like tuning in on the invasion from Mars. First thing you know, everybody else has bit the wsve length, they're ail scared too, and they're fighting and pushing and trampling and, well" She laughed, "Keep your chin up." The subway tunnel, under the river, was black and damp. White faced people, feeling their way long to the station that must lie somewhere ahead, were silent and cautious. Beatrice felt, walking with them, her hand in the hand of the girl ahead, that they were like ghosts, threading their way through this blackness. Fear and danger squeezed their hearts. "What's a million dollars now?" she thought oddly. "I'm the same as they are, here. We're all equals, now." e e e CHE never knew bow Jong tt was she walked in darkness, in that narrow file along the catwalk. Minutes. Hours. Perhaps a life lime. AH she knew was that some truth she had glimpsed, tit ling in her car and watching the anonymous throng pushing past her. became more dear and more Intelligible, here in the subway. "Now I understand them. They're all people, like me. The dreams and desires, the and tears. Honey cushioned me away from them, but now the ban are down. I'm part of them and they're part of me. I like them!" Hearteningly. the lights of a station ahead gleamed through the darkness at last. A little sigh of relief went up from the plodding humans, and the girl turned to Beatrice. "Land ahead!" How gallant she was! The people ahead of them went faster. Soon she could see that they were going up a little stair way. They were on the platform. It was light, and they were calling encouragement "Simple, nothing to it!" a man cried, "Come on, only a few steps now." Beatrice and the girl with her mounted the steps, too. Relief and thanksgiving washed over Bea trice. They were safe. The girl with whom she walked In the tunnel said. "Return ta 'normal. Come on. let's get out into the fresh sir!" On the stain going up to the street Beatrice paused a moment. "I feel as though a steam roller had gone over me," she con fessed. The girl said, "Me, too. I hope there's a place around when we can get some coffee." a a a TT was cold outside. Cold and dark, with a sharp wind that cut through Beatrice's thin Jack et But how good it was to be in the street again! How good to see the dark sky, and the lit tle glinting stan! It was minutes before Beatrice noticed thst the neighborhood in which she found herself was distinctly peculiar. Old buildings, and dingy stores, snd shabby men shuffling by on the pavement . . . "An swful place to be marooned when you're dying for a cup of coffee." said the girL "If it were beer, now. Or some smoke." i "Smoke?" ' "It's Uie standby of hobos and bums," grinned the girL "Alky, split with water." She was look ing about with eyes that recog nised and tagged the street "We'll have to walk a couple of blocks to get snythlng." Somewhere in the tunnel Bea trice had turned her ankle. It was tlirobbing now. She became aware of the fact that she could not remember ever 1 living walked so much, except in the country. "My feet hurt" she said. The girl laughed. "You should talk! I stand on my feet all day, selling. If my feet didn't hurt. I'd get alarmed. They'd be turning to stone, see?" "Selling?" Beatrice repeated. "You work in a store?" "Huntington's. In the base ment" Beatrice caught her breath. This gir. worked in Huntington's! She worked in the store which Grandfather had founded; the store which kept Beatrice on Park Avenue, the store which paid for her car and mink coat and the polo ponies for Clarence . . . What would she say, if she heard Bea trice telling her, "I own Hunt ington's?" She worldnt believe Jt, of eoevaiaxr. leal, etc, seavica, inc. course. "She'd stare at me." Bea trice thought swiftly, "and look around for a telephone so she could call an ambulance and have me taken to the lunatic asylum." e e e pOR a moment the coincidence x seemed incredible. That out of a city with seven million peo ple. Beatrice, who owned Hunting ton's, should have picked a sub way car in which to ride and found herself side by side with a girl who worked in Hunting ton's. But in the next breath, she realised that it wasn't so startling, after all. Hundreds of girls worked in Huntington's. Girls who kept the stocks, girls who waited on customers, girls who modeled clothes, girls who ran the elevators, girls who typed the letters and answered the tel ephones and wrapped the pack ages. "Where do you work?" the girl was asking. Beatrice fought out of her rev try. "Work? Oh! I well the fact is I'm not working just now." "I wondered." said the girl, amazingly. "That's a good-looking outfit you've got on. But chilly." "My my winter coat was shabby." How fortunate she'd thought that out, right after the stuck her coat into the parcel rocker! "Doesn't do to look shabby when you're Job hunting." the girl said. "Funny, though. If you didn't need a Job, you wouldn't be looking for one. So really, they ought to give the Jobs to the girls who look the shabbies! They need it the most Only they dont do things thst way. That would be too sensible." She turned her head and looked at Beatrice appraisingly, "I bet they'd take you on at Hunting ton's! You're Just the type. Re fined. Clean cut, good-looking. You dont look broke." Her voice Jeered. "They want a salesgirl selling 50-cent gloves to look like a dob. And you do. Let me take you down to Hunt ington's! I know they'd hire you!" I (To Be rentlnoed) By J. R.
