Occasion- . Florida Ave., now occupied by ! ally George, her young husband, would call her up frem his office, but usually all day long Frances stayed in the apartment with a silent telephone, It it did ring it was somebody who had the wrong niumber. So Frances cried. She had cried be- cause she was lonesome, for she knew no on2 in the big city. She cried be- cause she was tired, homesick and miserable and because her sobs were company for her in a sad so:t of way, a bit consoling. The first few weeks she had not cried. “Be busy and you will be hap- ry.” she would say. The tiny flat glis- tened with cleanliness. After a while this did not satisfy her. She had reduced her housework and marketing to a system and it took very little time to keep the Qlat in or- der. Ceorge had scen her dresses again and again and good dinners were a matter of course. At first Frances tried extra housework as an antidote for loneliness, but after her violent scrubbing had taken the shine off the kitchen w: after she had broken gome vases by neecdless dust- ing and spilled furniture polish on the rug she stopped. Her trousseau was still new and did not require the at- tention of sewing or shopping. On the few occasfons she had 1eft her nelgh- borhood she had become lost. She had always lived in a small town and tho noise of the city streets and the crowds in the stores confused her. All her experiments had failed. So Frances cried. In the midst of her grief the door bell rang. “A peddler,” Frances sald, doleful- Iy. She wiped her eyes and opened the door. Tt was not a peddler, but a sweet young woman. She carried some letters, “I am Mrs. Allen from across the \f hall,” she said, timidly. “I brought up your mail.” Frances took the letters mechanieal ly. Then she notioed that the powder was suspiciously thick around the eyes and nose of her visitor. Clearly Mrs. Ailen had been erying, too. Impul- sively Frances put out her hand “I wish you would come in," she sald. The two tearstained young women sat down in the living room. “It was kind of you to bring the letters,” Frances began. “Oh, it's nothing,” said Mrs. Allen.

Penny “Penny—Penny Mulligan!” whis- pered Miss Gabin of the notion coun- " ter. The young girl with two long, thick braids of red hair lcaned down from the bundle counter overhead. “Well?” she replied crisply. “Have you seen the new floor- | walker?” No—whers is Mr. Freer “y sferred to the uphoistery, It's me, too. He certainly is a gen- tleman!” Miss Gabin patted the blond puffs of her elaborate coiffure and sighed audibly, *“He certainly is a gentleman,” she repeated. “He is,” returned Penny. She turned back to her labors of wrap- ping parcels. “You certainly are swift, Penny,” murmured the stout bundle girl. “It's a dull day,” said Penny, yawn- ing. Ever since she had run away from her home in the middle West to be- come an actress, P’enelope had been on the lookout for people from home. True she had wriiten back to her uncle and aunt, telling them that she | was earning her living and when she said that she was “acting” how could that unsophisticated couple suspect that the part she was playing was the very practical one of bundle counter | girl In a department store. She had given her name as Penny Mulligan, when in fact she bhore the charming title of marry him and had dismissed by the stag cannot marry one, Arthur,” she said, eondescendingly. “I have a career before me, you know?” “Pooh!" the practical Arthur had said—he was a real estato agent and very live and up-to-date in his native town—"pooh, honey, you can’t act!” “I will show you!” Penny had sald, wrathfully, “Penny—Penny Mulligan!” shrilled Miss Gabin during another lull in the business of this rainy day, “What 1s it?" asked Penny languid- ly as she leaned over the railing. “There he 15" “Whom do you mean”"’ Penny was not interested, but she strove to be polite { “The new floorwalker, He's stand- | ing there by the perfumery—nhis back ! is this v He's lovely looking!"™ Penny looked and saw a tall, mas- sively built young man garbed in the conventional black of the store stand- ing with his hands loosely clasped behind his back. He looked—oh, so much Wke Arthur Preston, but of course that was absurd! “Yes, isn't he?” she managed to say carelessly in response to Miss Gabin's last remark. Later she happened to glance down- ward, and her blue eyes met the calm, cool gaze of the new floorwalker, His glance passed from her face to that of the other bundle girl, and then he passed on his leisurely way down the store. It was Arthur Preston When she had an opportunity he asked Miss Gabin the name ot the new floorwalker. “The most romantic name you ever heard, Penny! Mizs Clark from the office told me—his nime i: Cliude | Reston.” Penny been haughtily wstruek girl, 1 darted back to her work, | iabin was holg- ing an animated conversation Mr, Claude Reston. | “How dare he come here under an ' assumed name?” fumed Penny, She snapped the string victously ! and the fat parcel flew out of her | hands and fell plump upon the sleok, black head of the new floorwalker, Miss Gabin shrieked becomingly as Mr. Reston gracefully disentangled himself from the shower. “Aln't you afraid you'll get fired, Penny ?” gasped the fat girl. “l don’t care'” flared Penny reck- lessly. “I'm going to leave anyway, to-night.” Some one was coming up the steep little statr of the bundle counter. A ruffled black head, a pair of black eyes, & pair of broad shouldors, a big band holding forth the ragged b\m-| dle of false hair. | | with | “Here, Penelope.” he <aid coolly. “Please don't do that again." Penny was speechless with indigna- tion, as she took the paciage from him and their hands touched. He disappeared at once, and Penny pro- ceeded to wrap the bundie carefully.
