CHAPTER IX. Into the Whirlpool. ATRICIA was a gil whose brain worked quickly and enabled her to take In situations and form dect aions inetantly. When she had surprised Nora and Crawford she had immediately concluded that her sister would be safer under her own supervision and that the ®@ooner she took her with her the better. Te was no light responsibility that she had undertaken. She realized this when ahe had a chance to think of the change in her own life the step woua mean But she was not of the stuff to shirk her duty as she saw , whatever incon- Venience or sacrifice tt might ent It would have been easy enough to surround Nora with ali necessary safe- guards as far as Crawford was con- cerned by simply informing her parents and Mallory of what she had seen and warning them against the New Yorker. Es tunity to give her some sound advice and to enlighten her a little as to the Gangers which thereafter would beset (her, but she was too excttedly happy at the prospect of the future to dwell “ just then at too great length or too eertously upon these things, and the girls sat up fer into the night discussing thelr plans. | |_Two daya later found them in New York eager to start in and do. They |had arrived just at the right time, for Patsy, who was well known, obtained jan engagement to lead the chorus of |@ new production at one of the Broad- way theatres, and after putting Nora j through her paces, which the novice |found to be much harder work than jshe had had any {dea of, procured for |her a place in the same chorus. This was something Patsy had hoped, but hardly expected, to be able to do. De- cldedly things were coming her way. Everything was turning eut as she jhad wished. Her anxiety on the ques- tion of money having been reHleved, as | both were drawing salaries in a piece that bid very fair to have an extended tun, she was able to take up in a prac- tical manner the matter of getting to- gether her long coveted home. Nora | was only mildly enthusiastic about tak- |ing a flat. She had associated her oa- reer on the stage with life in a hete} or comfortable boarding-house where she would be waited on and there would be |no work to do. The prospect of having to keep house was not particularly at- tractive to her. She hated housework. “Wabble His Lamps!” But the modest place where they | boarded fell very short indeed of her | expectations of what was in store for her when she left Maple Grove, and the meals made her yearn for a taste of | ber mother’s cooking—for something fit © | to eat, as ahe put it. They had never | engaged in such EE) Patsy Got Her Into the C Crawford never would have had an- other chance to get near her. But there were other things to con- sider. In the first place, it would be highly injudictous at this critical stage of Mallory’s affairs to risk jeopardizing his chances of success by causing at the very outset unpleasantness between him and the partner upon whose assist- ance he counted to get him out of the hole in which he found himself. She knew Dan and her father. Thelr rug. ged honesty would brook no Ithertias with the women folk of “their” family. Therefore she would keep to herself the knowledge of what she had witnessed. Grave Doubts Secondiy—and this weighed with her more than anyth else—there was Nora's display of temper, with Its di- vulgation of her Intentions anq its dis closure of her indenendent tendencies It had opened Patsy's eves to the fact that the girl was nearing an age when she would enfranchise herself from con- trol and seek to win her own way fn the world. or this spirit she could not find {t {n her heart to reproach het, although it had ybled over Hke n house of cards the edifice of home-stay- ine ease and felic she had butided for her hopes. Ilad she not done the very same thing herself? But, as she had told her parents, she very mush doubted Nora's ability to take care of herself in a world where no ordinary courage and strength of mind were needed not only to succeed, but to keep from temptation, The salary which from the distance of their country home loomed lange was in her profe: sion, especially in New York, discon- certingly meagre Nora had looked forward apprehen- aively to the Inevitable interview with Patsy. She wondered what the latter would do in regard to the incident of the kiss, Would she tell thelr parents? And it what would happen? She had a positive dread of "nes" and of being lectured. She was \inmensely re- Meved when Patsy informed hor that she would say nothing about t, and why she had reached this dvcision. Nora passed the matter off lighty and blamed it all on Cr) \ Jord. didn't know that he was gu... ; to do it, and I couldn't prevent him," she declared, She treated tt all as a joke ano She did not, “Wow- ever, mention the wager that was won in advance, nor the fact that he had handed her his card Off for New York, Patsy took advantage of the oppor- en 7 laughed about it. horus of a Broadway Show a yet before. and the prices asked in | houses where they would have lked to ‘live appalled both of them.

The Spider and the Fly. She did not of herself ek Crawford, but when he secretly sought her she saw no harm in continuing on good terms with him notwithstanding Patsy's preaching. Patsy was old maidish in her views, anyhow, she told herself, She liked Crawford, and he had proved his friendship for her by enabling her to win not w little money on the races, She had @ very strong fondness for gambling. It was an easy way to sup-. plement her earnings—nearty all of which went for her own keep and to | the folks at home.

She almost wished that Patey was not In New York, so that she could | be more free to profit by his kindness | and to spend more on dress, He had | «iven her pretty presents that she was obliged to hide, and had Insisted upon taking her to ‘lunch more than once, She liked to go to the luxuriour dining | halls he escorted her to; also she liked the attention she neyer falled to at-| tract among the people there. | | But it was only very rarely that she | was able to accept these invitationa— | only when she could esoape the society | of Patsy on tho pretext of going shop- ping or or taking a walk when her| simgr. wag busy ‘at home.
