A common saleswoman, | that's what you are; and let me tell you, Miss Clough, you hold your job by my will—see? 1 can put you out of ! this store so quick you won't know whera you're at. Now, you just think that proposition over!” Mr. Alfred Bantam adjusted his Prince Albert and walked away from the linen counter, while Miss Anna Clough quietly went on measuring yards of superfine Belfast linen, as though the floorwalker's words had been addressed to empty air. But when she got home that night she gave way to the despair that had been growing for weeks past, ever since she had discovered that Mr. Ban- tam was interested in her. It was nearly four months since Marshall & Rogers had given her a position in the store. Old Marshall had been a friend of her dead father in the old days, before Charles Clough lost his fortune and blew out his brains on the same dreary afternoon when stocks went tumbling down like a house of cards. After her father's death the insurance money, some three thousand dollars, had been spent to put Anna Clough through college. “I think that is the best way, my dear,” her mother had said to her. “And then, of course, you will be able to earn a good living.” But before she could graduate and s0 obtain that diploma which would enable her to place her mother and ! herself beyond need Mrs. Clough had become an invalid. The doctor's bill ate up the last vestiges of the money. Mrs. Clough wouM never leave her bed or her wheeled chair again. And in desperation the girl had gone to Junius Marshall, reminding him of his former friendship for her father. Junfus Marshall looked thoughtfully at the girl. “Well, I'd like to do something for you, Miss Clough, for your father's sake,” he said. “But it is a rule of our store that everybody has to begin at i 7 S “You Needn't Come Back After Sat- urday.” the beginning and work upward. That gives experience, you know. Now it you would be willing to start as a saleslady I'll keep you in mind.” So the girl entered the store in the same capacity as the fifty others who were engaged that fall, and for weeks she labored at the linen counter, hap- py in the hope that Marshall would some day announce the anticipated promotion. Lucy Connor, her only friend, had laughed at her expectations. “Say, take my tip,” she said, “Mar- shall won’t do anything for you. He hands out that tale to all the girls. They all know Marshall. He hasn't any more remembrance of you than he has of me.” Through weeks of growing doubts and fears the girl worked on. Her mother had to be cared for. And she had to be told encouraging stories every evening as to Anna's prospects. But finally Mr. Bantam's attentions broke down the girl's strength of will. Alfred Bantam had a notorious reputa- tion in the store, but he had unlimited power in his department, and each girl, knowing that her position de- pended on his good graces, submitted quietly to his insolent admiration. For three weeks he had pursued Anna Clough, now inviting her to theaters, now to supper. At first he had laughed at her refusals; but final- ly, when he understood that she was in earnest, the bully’s nature showed itself. “Well,” he said, coming up to her later in the day, “have you considered the matter, Miss Anna? Come, don't be a little fool. I mean well by you and I'll treat you handsome. My wife's getting a divorce, anyway. What do you say to a hot bird at; Brantini's after we've taken in a show tonight?” The odious, leering face was thrust out toward her own. With sudden pas- “You needn't come back after Satur- day,” he said to Anna in a low volce | MARCH 30, 1914. f of intense malignity, and stalked | away. \ “You little fool! You've done for yourself now!” said one of the girls “Gee! 1 wish I had your nerve, | though!” i Anna Clough went on with her work in a mechanical manner. She did not intend to return after that day; she would not wait till Saturday. But what could she tell her mother? And what future was there for her? Their money was almost at an end; they had been living on Anna's scanty wages, augmented by the sale of a few jewels to which Mrs. Clough had clung after the crash—and upon hope! “Mr. Marshall wants to see you,” shouted Mr. Bantam half an hour be- fore closing time. Anna Clough walked up the - stairs and entered the big office where, par- titioned off from two or three dozen bookkeepers and assistants, the head of the firm pulled the threads of his gigantic enterprise. She would not tell him. She felt that she could not go to him as a friend after his neglect. Four months she had toiled for him at seven dollars a week, and only at the linen counter. She knew linens through and through. Marshall had forgotten her; he was just as Lucy had described him. But he had a hobby of giving each girl her discharge in person, accompanied by unctuous advice and solicitous counsel —the oily old hypocrite!

NOW IS ONION VINDICATED 3 s o § @ Science Has Come to the Ald of Those § Who Love the Power fs: ful Edible. 4 Many a man—probably few women try it—finds a raw onion highly im- |3 proving to his state of health when | he is afflicted with a severe cold. A bacteriologist explains that there {8 no mystery about the onion cure. It 18 not like a charm which may pre- vail upon a wart to vanish, but 18 ver- tually a specific for the cure of colds, in that the oil in the onion kills the microbes of “cold.” The mouth of nearly every healthy person contains a few diplococel | pneumonae, it i8 explained, and a | cold, which weakens resistance, may | give the deadly diplococcus his chance. It is, therefore important to treat the cold germ as severely as he has treated you. He is fastidl- ous and does not like onions. Dose him with raw onions and he dles, as- serts a writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal, As for the members | of the family who object to onlons— well, a man must not give up his hope of escape from the lurking diplococ- cus merely because his sisters, his cousins or his aunts abhor the pene- trant perfume of raw onions. Large luscious onions repose tempt- ingly amid the green grocer's array of edibles. But only the brave who deserve, and are unafraid of, the fair, dare suggest their being bought and served raw. Only a few bold spirits will go so far as to smuggle them into the household for consumption at the witching time o' night when “hell itself breathes out contagion on the world,” and a man who has eaten an onion should, by comparison, seem fnnocuous and blameless. But inasmuch as a bacteriologist in- dorses the onion as a cold cure, and tells how it acts, let us be up and doing with a heart for any argument in protest that may be made. With a Spanish onion as large as a squash and the “fixin's” that go therewith, let those of us who have hitherto lacked, in polite company, the cour- age of our convictions, go as far as we llke. The onion has an oil In it and the ofl has a Latin name and a specific function.
