She slept in a long loft room above the garage where there were six beds. At one end of the room was a washroom with a shower and two tin basins, and above the basins was hung a card of printed rules for all the chambermaids and waitresses wait-resses at the hotel. They must wear fresh uniforms daily, bathe daily wear hair-nets and manicure at least once daily. "Does anyone?" Sheila asked Nelly, Nel-ly, the girl who had showed her where things were and what she must do. Nelly merely laughed disagi eea-bly. eea-bly. Never in the world had there ever been contempt more stinging, biting, complete than that Nelly felt for everything connected with the Pendergast Hotel. Nelly's favorite comment upon Sheila's innocence and ignorance was a scornful smile, and Sheila came to the point when she could anticipate the smile, and avoid it. Sheila only asked questions the first day. After that she was too tired to be interested in anything. Her feet burned, her ankles ached, and she told Nelly that her spine was like a rope with red-hot knots in it. never said anny- CHAPTER XII Days merged themselves into nights, and nights into days. Sheila Shei-la was not conscious of their beginnings begin-nings or endings. These were lost in a haze of exhausted sleep. The dining-room opened at seven, and on alternate days she was supposed to be downstairs, filling salt cellars, cutting butter squares, stacking plates, folding napkins, an hour earlier ear-lier than that On alternate days she could sleep until almost seven. .

Sheila asked staseered in with loaded plat ters, staggered out with trays of empty soup plates. The guests at the Pendereast were paying for ev erything anyway; they wanted ev erything. Sheila learned not to overlook anything. any-thing. There was a disagreeable, pimply young man of nineteen in the pantry, who checked the trays and made all the trouble he could about doubled orders. He had authority, au-thority, and anyone who wanted to work in the Pendergast dining-room had to take orders from Mr. Benny. "Tear it up, and go out and get their entire order written over!" he said scornfully to Sheila on the first terrible day. "I only have to add the two extras ex-tras to it," Sheila said. "They came in late, and the mother said they'd have what the rest have." 'Tear it up and go out and get the entire order over," said Mr. Benny, unruffled. "I've got their order! AU I have to do is add two more to u. Mr. Benny tore up the order him self and smiled at Sheila. "Now you go back and get the whole order." he said, "and next time don't lose your head about "I didn't lose my bead. The two boys came in late" "That'll be about enough," said Mr. Benny, lighting a cigarette and glancing up over the match at Sheila. Shei-la. "I tell you to go get the order as?in, and not to lose your head about it!" The dining-room hours were presumably pre-sumably from seven to ten, from twelve-thirty to two. and from six to nine. This was the official statement state-ment But in fact they were from almost any early hour until after ten o'clock at night At half-past six in the morning, at six even, fishermen were rattling the dining-room dining-room doors, and nurses with fret- tuJ anl wakeful babiei wing for admittance, and at half- SnT !l ni8ht tremendously gcd.natured and apologetic persons a 1 very well for Miss Watts, the c Vnd Capable n1 'Pecta-cied 'Pecta-cied head waitress, who got the big SnUt Vld heavi,y on ShciU and the other girls. They had to St m tables' 10 hunt 8bout or ableclotns and napkins not orig- na.ly provided, to apologize for food additional hips for substitutes. They worked in an enormous pan- ierved from kitcher below by dumb-waiters. The order slips, with Mr. Benny's 0. K. on them, went down on the empty elevators; each tray had a slip on it when it came up. Sometimes when a big Party required more than one tray a bus boy was summoned to assist. But the girls were not allowed to ask for help; Mr. Benny decided that, and if he did not like a girl he would smile a teasing smile and observe that she could make two trips of it, just as well. The girls, except perhaps for the favorite of the moment, detested him; when they were especially tired or nervous nerv-ous he could make things hard for them, and they wasted needed energy en-ergy in despising him. They ran to and fro breathlessly; their collars wilted, their little butterfly but-terfly aprons wilted; the girls themselves them-selves wilted. Sheila never had had much color, but she developed a pallor that was new. Her film of copper hair stuck to her wet forehead, fore-head, her clothes adhered to her soaked body. She flung aside crumpled crum-pled tablecloths and napkins, piled dirty plates, checked penciled orders or-ders feverishly. She talked so little lit-tle and worked so hard that Miss Watts, the head waitress, soon singled sin-gled her out for special impositions. "Mary, there's a party just down from New York; I'm sorry. You'll have to start the order anyway I took it." 1 "At twenty -two minutes of ten. mind j a," Nelly might say pityingly Sheila would eye the slip. "Four mock turtle, three supreme of grapefruit seven oyster cocktail, four bouillon, two cream of let tuce " When Nelly, in the beginning, had told her that in the quiet hours, say between eleven and twelve each morning, and three and five each afternoon, she would be free to come up to the" dormitory loft and lie down, Sheila had secretly laughed. Lie down with Atlantic City's winter win-ter boardwalk, and the . glorious ocean at her very door not she! But by the third day she had discovered dis-covered that these intervals of rest were all too short. She was not rested rest-ed by an hour or two; flat and exhausted, ex-hausted, on her back; she could not even begin resting in so short a time. She ached all over, her nerves throbbed and quivered, her head was dizzy with confused thoughts, her breath was short and her mouth dry. "It's a great life!" she said to Nelly. : "It's a great life if you have an infected corn, let me tell you," .Nelly said. "Sometimes I wonder why I ever left home. My mother run a boarding-house; lots of Jhe railroad fellers come over for meals. But my stepfather done it reely. He was ten years older than Mamma, and what he put over on her you wouldn't believe. be-lieve. He knew I was onto him!" Much of the talk Sheila heard nowadays now-adays was coarse, but most of the girls were good girls. Once she heard her own name. Four of the six girls in the rather small room were lying on their beds one winter afternoon when one of them said suddenly: "That Carscadden girl we were talking about is supposed to be staying stay-ing with friends. They were married mar-ried all right The Mc Canns have scads of money, and they hushed the whole thing up." " Sheila lay perfectly still, her very heart stopped. But when a girl idly spoke again, it was on a different topic. She had left a note for her mother on that dreadful last afternoon of packing and tears and flight "Dear Ma, I am safe and well; I will be good. Sheila," she had written. And every few days since she had seized some opportunity to send further reassurance. Once she had gone into Philadelphia for an hour or two and mailed a post-card picture of a church from there. On this she had written, "I am praying for you. Pray for Sheila." Almost every night she cried herself her-self to sleep, longing for her mother. moth-er. But no matter how hard the work in the dining-room was and no matter how lonely and homesick ber free hours, she would not give in. The loneliness of life Sheila had never known it never suspected it before. How lonely they were, these Irish-born and Russian-born girls, who were herded like sheep in the top rooms of great hotels; these maids and nurse-girls and chauffeurs chauf-feurs and valets who stayed at the hotel. They gave their lives to others, oth-ers, for sixty and seventy and eighty dollars a month. All very well to argue. They have a day a week, haven't they?" What girl could be satisfied, at eighteen, eight-een, or twenty-two. or thirty, with a cart of one day each week in which to live her own life? Less than one seventh of her life heritor heri-tor she bad to serve breakfast on her "day out." and she must be back in her cell of a room by midnight mid-night Sheila rrvul nlrlpr. her manner grew more sedate, her forehead had a new gravity, her eyes were wiser. Physically there was a chance, too: she was thinner, the contours of her race were chiseled to finer lines. She had been ten days on the 1rh when one morning, In the very heat of ' the between-hmch-ivid-breakf ast flurry. Frank Mc Cann found her. At the moment Mr. Benny was making himself particularly dis agreeable to an unfortunately argumentative argu-mentative girl named Mabel, and Sheila, listening to Mabel's feeble seu-aerense, in an agony ot sympathy sympa-thy was inwardly saying to Mabel, "Oh, shut up, you're Just giving him chance after chance shut up, you poor fool he' just leading you on" when Mrs. Kearney, who was assistant manager, suddenly ap peared on the scene. This caused a lull, for Mrs. Kearney, Kear-ney, silk-clad, eye-glassed, authoritative, authori-tative, was a power at the Pendergast Pender-gast "Which girl is Mary Moore? Mary, there's a gentleman wants to see you." Mrs. Kearnev said. She sensed mutiny. "What's going on here?" she asked sharply. It was so delightful to see Mr. Benny cringe, becoming instantly conciliatory to Mabel, so eratifvine to hear Mabel's demure answer, that Sheila quite forgot to worry about any significance her own message mes-sage might have. Unsuspectingly Once she heard ber own name. she followed Mrs. Kearney to one of the little consultation rooms near the main office. ' One of the guests of the place had asked her that morning if she had ever posed for trade photographs, and had suggested suggest-ed that she let him have her photographed photo-graphed working a vacuum cleaner, clean-er, and if Sheila had thought of anything any-thing at all except Mabel's triumph and Mr. Benny's discomfiture, she would have found some such explanation expla-nation of the summons. But it was Frank Mc Cann who was waiting for her. ; Instantly she was frightened, of what she did not know. She tried to back out of the door. "Listen, it's all right, nobody knows but me!" Frank said. "Sit down, nothing's going to happen to you. Honestly, I promise you I won't give you away!" "How'd you find me?" Sheila whispered, whis-pered, sitting down. "I never lost you. There was a fellow named Buckley waiting for me in the hall that day," Frank explained, ex-plained, with a touch of his characteristic charac-teristic complacence. "I had him follow you. He'- done that sort of thing before he's a plain-clothes man, as a matter of fact He saw you go into the agency on Lexington." Lexing-ton." "But after that I went home!" "I know you did. But an hour later your brother telephoned; they couldn't locate you." That was it" she said. Frank was silent, he half smiled at her. "Never a dull moment where you are!" he observed dryly. "You see, you didn't run away at all!" "I wish people would leave me alone." Sheila said simply. "So you're a waitress, eh?" "Some job," she said, with a smile and shrug. "Is it hard?" "Oh. help!" There was a silence. "That woman O'Connor, in the agency, did she teli on me?" "She had to." "Ma know?" "She knows I kr.o-v. I told her that night you were O. K." "Is she all right?" Sheila asked. It began as a casual question, but suddenly her lips trembled, she was crying. "She's fine." He stopped, studied her for a minute. "She misses you." To this Sheila could make no answer. an-swer.
