Girl Aisne in a Big |By GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN. | A lonely hour, a lonely spot, and | the loneliest girl in the world looking out over the fast darkening lake in a dreamy, desolate way. Nellie Danvers had come to the beach of the great city's breathing spot after a hard days work. She had wandered purposely away from the crowds. A sense of utter triendlessness overcame her. A sad, far-away look was in her eyes. Life seemed very hard to the young girl. An orphan, leaving distant relatives in a country village a year previous, she had come to the city to find her- self disillusioned, lost in a desert. She had learned how to operate a| typewriter and had secured a suberdi nate situation at six dotlars a weck. | humdrum, dragging labor. She felt | that it was only a step to the sweat shop or the sales counter if she lost her present position, “Perhaps 1 am worked out,” she thought. “A week in the country might influence me to face the dreary win- tor with a brighter spirit. It is usel to consider that, so I'll try and be content. There are the books and my painting—-ch, dear!” Nellie drew bhack with a timid start A man had come rushing from a line of bushes, two little children with him In the moonlight elow his face showd nale, delie md refined, but his ey shone like sparks of fire, “Quick!" h d. his glance burnii: full into the face of the shrinkinz girl, “Thesc o cehildren—take ther Where do you live?” Some inflicrse Nellie could not r - sist compeil 4 her to reply In tremor: “Twenty-two Borden place.” The man pushed the children to- wards her and then dashed down the beach. A second man came into view on a swift run. He approached the bewildered Nellie “The man who lud these children™— he spoke rapidly-—-"which way did he g0 Mutely Nellie ran on, He, too, looked down at the children, a pointed.
