TBK DUCHESS CHAPTER XVH TJEATRICE stared down at the JJ girl on the floor. Tor mo ment, the was so aurpriscd and frightened she couldnt move. Miss Ryan's face was white, her eyes were dosed, she was as still as death. Toby cried, "Get somebody! Get some water! Do something:" But Miss Dane was already pushing aside the curtains. "How long does it take to" she began testily. Beatrice's face stopped her. "What's happened?" "Miss Ryan fainted," said Toby. Miss Dan rushed forward. "Everything happens to me!" she cried In Irritation. "The depart ment's mobbed, nobody does any thing, stock's in a mess, shipments don't come in on time and now this!" "I'm sure she couldnt help it," Toby snapped. "Or do you think she's faking?" "Go away" Miss Dsne made a distracted lunge, and peered down at the unconscious M. "Get some water. Phone for the nurse." She began to rub Miss Ryan's wrists, almost impatiently. "Haven't I trouble enough with those contingents they wished on me? And not an 18 in black, and I have to see that girl from ad vertising in a minute! How can I get up a decent ad with all this going on?" There were little beads of mois ture on Miss Ryan's upper lip. Her nose looked pinched. Beatrice said, "I think she ought to have a doctor." "You think!" creamed Miss Dane, still roughly massaging Miss Ryan s limp wrats. "You tninK: What were you doing in here, anyway? Get out on the floor, wait on somebody!" She added, The girl probably didnt have any lunch, that's all." Today was pay day, Beatrice remembered. The envelopes wouldn't be distributed until near ly - closing time. Perhaps, she thought pityingly. Miss Hyan naa cot had lunch money. Toby came back th water. "Lift her up. Ill see . " -t-pour some down her throat" "Oh, give it to me!" MT Dane snatched the glass and dashed it into the prostrate girl's face. - There was a gasp, a moan, and Miss Ryan's head moved slowly from side to side. At last, slowly, her eyes opened. She stared up I at them. She winced, and tried 'painfully to rise. Beatrice knelt beside her, swift ly. "You're ill, don't try to get iup. Well send for a doctor." "Nonsense!" snapped Miss Dane. "Help her up. She can walk to the elevator, cant she? Take her ito the infirmary." She looked at iMiss Ryan with Hi-disguised dis gust. "The busiest day we've had 'in weeks, and you faint!" "I everything went black " Miss Ryan whispered. "I'm all right now, though." She tried to 'stand without leaning on Beatrice. '"I can go back on the floor." With a shock, Beatrice realized rthat the girl was afraid of losing 'her Job. "You're going to in Iflrmary," she said quickly. "Come on. aaa iTJUT when they got to the ele- vators, Miss Ryan caught at I Beatrice's sleeve. "No. Don't take ime up there. They they'll find out what's the matter with me, land I I've got to keep on for la while . . ." Her blue eyes be ' sought Beatrice, and her Angers I plucked nervously. "Please, Miss ! Davis." "What Is the matter with you?" I "I I'm going to have a baby. I Oh, don't look like that! I'm mar ried. I've been married for two : years." Her eyes dropped. "Jim my works in the shipping, and he (doesn't make much, that's why iwe we kept it secret." She leaned 'against the wall and closed her eyes for a moment. "Promise not ito tell. I'll be all right. I'll go !back in a minute." ; Pity swept Beatrice. "I'm not jthe only one who's hiding things," ishe thought But her secret I seemed insignificant beside the iplight of this girt. "Let's go to the Infirmary any way. They'll only give you a sedative and let you lie down. I'm sure they they couldn't tell. . Say you went without lunch." "I did," confessed Miss Ryan. Tm saving for baby clothes and :a crib." Her chin lifted. "I would 'have been all right if it wasn't 'for that extra work, stooping to ipick up stock and lifting my arms o much, rehanging things . . ." "It's not fair," Beatrice said 'quietly. "They shouldn't have let Jthe other stock girl go." a a AFTER she left Miss Ryan in the Infirmary, she told Miss Dane briefly, "She's better, but i she won't be back today." Miss Dane fumed about being tthorthanded. Beatrice walked off land left her. What could she do for Miss Ryan, she wondered. The girl ought not to be standing on her feet all day, working. Yet she knew Miss Ryan would be 'tack tomorrow. She'd stay until 'the very last minute. It Was bar ibarous. : "Why can't a big store like this iprovide for such emergencies? 'Both she and her husband work 'here. Surely the store owes them something." She wondered If Grandfather 'had ever considered such situa tions. She knew that if his atten ftion had been called to a young couple any young couple, not just Ibis own employes In this fix, he'd lhava promptly presented them iwith the baby clothes .anderU DOUGHNUTS COFYWIOWT. 1S41.

"She skipped her lunch." "Oh." He rattled some sales slips in his hand. "I have a class tonight Would you would you have dinner with me, somewhere nearby, before I go? If you'd wait I could take you home afterward." "I'd love to." the little restaurant she wished she could tell Anthony about Miss Ryan. But of course she couldnt She said, instead, "Do any stores anywhere give their employes sick leave? I mean, supposing a girl's run down and needs a rest Or an operation . . ." "What do you think stores are, philanthropic institutions?" He crumpled a roll. "But the ideal store, the store I sometimes think about you know, with Anthony Bradley as general superintendent and all the other stores on Fifth Avenue biting their nails in anvy" he grinned if a store can bite its nails. Anyway, the ideal store would give sick leaves. The employes would be part of a happy, loyal family, don't you see, feeling secure in their Jobs and giving their best because working for that store, being happy and well treated, would naturally suit in increased efficiency. I'd have a health department to keep everyone at peak fitness, and a welfare department to deal with the special cases ..." Beatrice made herself breathe quietly and evenly. "The Duchess ought to hear you."
