*READ THIS FIRST: Emmy Milburn, at nineteen, -wanted to lift herself from the sor- didnees of the little street she lived in, to the heights where she feit she properly belonged. After a party given by her rich cousin, Marianna, she resolved to better herself somc day. Meantime she took a husiness course. paid for by her randmoth- er Pentland, and snubbed, as well as she could, Robb Hollis. the boy down the street, who worked in a nill, and who represented the life | she determined never to let herself sink into. Marianna tells Emmy she is going to marry Jim Baldwin next day. and to keep it a secret. Emmy succeeds in getting a stenographic job—her first position—and is im nensely pleased that she will re- ceive twenty-two dollars a weck.

NOW GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER X . The twentieth day of March was the day that changed Emmy’s whole lite. Just how completely it was change it she did not guess worning when she awoke to the drumming of rain on the roof :nd the splash and gurgle of it in the guttera, “My last day in this place!” she thought, lying in bed with her hands clasped under her h She was filled with imvatience to be away from the shabby, comfortable little room with its white-painted furni- ture, its white floor, with its one small square of rug beside the bed its snapshots of her miother in garden and of Dan in his football 1ogs. No one in the world knew this was the day she had chosen for her going. She made up her mind to do it very suddenly and | 6 quickly that no one could jos- _sibly stop her. “Mother will tiy, of course " said to herself as she bathed and dressed; “but 1'm not going to listen fo her. I'll just close my ears. I'm going through with this! It's now or never!" Her plans were very simple. For a week she had heen looking | around for a furnished onc-room apartment somewhere in gool neighhorhood. “No use going from the frying pan info the fire!” she! had reminded herself. On Thursday she had found one in the “For Rent” columns of the | morning paper. night she had | hurried out to sce it on her way, heme from the office, breathless with worry that someone clse might Thave taken it. No one had. and it was just the sort of place she wanted — a com- fortably furnished sitting room with a bed that let down from the wall, a dressing room no bigger than a vacking case, and a kitchenette that | was really just a little sink ana electric stove set in a cuphboard. Tt overlooked Gorgon Park and the rent was forty- e dollars a month. The agent who showed it to her waid that the couple who were living in it were giving it up on Saturday at roos. “I'll take it* Emmy had told hini, and then and there sha had tound the bargain with a ten-dollar bill, “AN T have to do now is pack u my clothes this afternoon and ‘git,’ she thought, while visions of hersel” entertaining Marianna and Lovey and hosts of other people danced through her head.
