The engineer, sneezing, and with all other hay fever mani-festations, stopped at a hotel where he was served a dish of mush which he considered send-ing back as it was much too salty. Finally he ate it, however; the hay fever attack lessened, ul-timately ceased. Next day he had three meals, all oversalted, and experienced his most comfortable time in years in the "hay fever season." His analytical mind quickly grasped the possibility that the saline substance in his food was responsible for his relief. About this time, Dr. E. E. Sel-lec- k, a graduate of Columbia Uni-versity, met the engineer, made notes, and when he returned to his home, began experiments. To-day Dr. Selleck declares he has found a certain means of relief for hay fever and is supported in his contention by other medical experts, and a nationally known chemical manufacturing concern, the' Hollings-Smit- h Company, at Orangeburg, New York, has tak-en over making the remedy, which is called Nakamo Bell. Describing the experiments, Dr. Selleck said, "After I was sure I had found a means of quickly relieving hay fever through the chloride group, I tested it in the most practical way I knew. I held a three day clinic, to which many hay fever sufferers responded, from ages ranging from 10 to 60 years. Each person was given two tablets with a little water. Some relief came to all within ten minutes. Reports on these cases during the ensu-ing weeks showed practically a complete cessation ofsymptoms." Adv.

Srt l f ) I wfisJ 1 Ii NORRIS THE STORY SO FAR: Charlotte (Cherry) RawUnjs, an orphan since she was seven years old, has been at Saint Dorothea'! school for rirls. She knows almost nothini about her but early history, has gradually come to realije that like the other girls at the school she has no family, and sbe questions whether she has the right to her father's name. She develops Into a very attractive girl, and has a flair for wriUng the school's plays and arranging their tableau. She is in the costume of an Indian chief's daughter, having appeared In one of her own plays, when Judge Judson Marshbanks, her with Emma Haskell, a trained nurse, appears to arrange for her to leave the school. She remembers that Emma nursed her mother before her death, and Judge Marshbanks tells her that Emma has gotten her a secretarial position with the very wealthy Mrs. Porteous Porter of San Francisco, where Emma Is now housekeeper. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER II "Because," the girl offered slowly and doubtfully, "it wasn't that way. I was only seven, but I knew that something was wrong. Nothing was left for me, no pictures of anyone, no letters or names. This school, you know, isn't like an ordinary school. We know we aren't like oth-er girls. Everyone here has some strange history no letters, no going home for holidays, no presents and surprises." "No; this isn't a regular school," he conceded.. "But according to Emma it was the best thing to do. And you seem to have flourished," he added with a smile. "You've gone along here more as if it were a home ..." "With a capita letter!" she put in as he paused. He looked at her in his kindly way and smiled. "A place where girls are protect-ed and safe, and well fed . . ."He raised questioning eyes. "Well fed?" he asked. "Not so oh, yes, all right," she conceded, not interested. An impa-tient jerk of her head took him back to the point where he had inter-rupted himself. "And are taught good profes-sions," he finished. "Dressmaking, bookkeeping, ste-nography, beauty-parlo- r work," she supplied. "But," she added, "those aren't what they teach girls in other schools. But that won't keep me from trying terribly hard to make good. You said something about a position? What am- I to do?" "You are not to do anything until you find just what you want to do," he said, his graying hair and his fifty years making it possible for him to use a father's kindly tone. "But for the time being it is a sec-retarial position with the same old lady a very rich old woman named Mrs. Porter Mrs. Porteous Porter, for whom Emma works. Answering the telephone, and correspondence, and reading that sort of thing." "Oh. that?" the girl said with a 2 She jumped when old Dr. O'Conner touched her arm realizing that she was hungry and went with him through the swaying train to the dining car. and angry and full of muttered threats of escape. So Cherry, formally discharged from the books as "Charlotte Raw-lings-with due details of her ad-mission and her thirteen years' resi-dence at the convent entered upon a formidable-lookin- g graph, was not as entirely unprepared for entrance into the world as her custodians might have fancied her to be. At leaving, Cherry wore the con-vent uniform of black serge and white collar, and a round hat like a small black basket turned upside down. The hat dated back some ten years, but it was a hat, and that was all that girls from Saint Dorothea's expected of headgear. Mother Superior had given her the ten dollars with a parting word of instruction. This money was for any emergency; her tickets and meals on the train would be paid for' by the Sisters in whose care she was traveling. "This wouldn't have been my choice of a school for you, Cherry," the nun had said. "I've been con-sidering in my own mind whether I ought to say this much to you," she added, "and I've asked for guid-ance in the matter. But there seems to be no harm in telling you that I felt and dear Mother Bertrand felt, thirteen years ago that you should have been one of the Victor street girls. Our school here is for cases Mrs. Marshbanks and Miss Amy are going out to dinner before a party, and he's to bring them home dear knows when. It's a coming-ou- t par-ty for Miss Patsy Randall." "I didn't mind that, my dear," she said. "Here we are," May added, as the car stopped at the foot of an imposing flight of stone steps. "I'm going to slip upstairs, and I'll cot see you again unless you need me. Molly'll show you your room. I'm usually with the old lady after din-ner, but she's away and I'm going to a movie tonight. You ask Molly for anything you want." Cherry and her patent-leathe- r bag were abandoned for just a few mo-ments in the big entrance hall. She had time only for a breath-takin- g impression of such spaciousness and beauty and color as she had never seen before, of soft rugs beneath her feet and dimly lighted arches leading to great dimly lighted rooms on all sides, of potted palms and bursts of winter flowers, before Judge Marshbanks came forward to take possession of her, and confide her to the care of Molly, a pretty maid with very black eyes and a very white skin. By this time the girl was too much dazed to believe her senses. She followed Molly upstairs to an in-credibly luxurious big room with an unbelievably complete bathroom brightening face. "That I think I could do!" "I'm sure you could. And you would be paid seventy-fiv- e dollars a month." "Seventy-fiv- e dollars a month! Oh, she is kind!" "When when would I go?" she asked. "This is let's see, the third," he said. "Suppose you come down on Monday? Monday's a good day to start. You take a train at half past five in the afternoon, and at seven the next night someone will meet you at the Oakland Mole." "Sunday wouldn't do?" she asked. "Why not?" "I was thinking, when you said Oakland, that two Sisters are going down to the Oakland house on Sun-day; we're having a jubilee for them Sunday afternoon; they would take me." "That would be an excellent ar-rangement. You come first to my house, you understand, and we can go over and see Emma when you've some clothes and have had time to look about a little. I must see Moth-er Superior before I go and make the arrangements for you." And then they were walking back toward the convent's main building, through wide, orderly, dimly lighted corridors. "I must tell you about my fam-ily, Cherry," the man said. "My mother lives with us Mrs. Clay Judson Marshbanks; she sounds a little formidable and she is a little formidable! Then there's my pretty wife I lost my first wife," he in-terrupted himself to explain, "and Fran is almost young enough to be my daughter. I've a son Greg he's twenty-fou- r, off at college in the East, and also with us is my broth-er's daughter, Amy. Amy's mother died when she was a little girl; her father was killed in an accident a few years after that, and my moth-er has had her since making her bow in society now and quite grown up. She was going away from the only world she knew; the air' was full of farewells and heartaches, and strange excited happiness of antici-- Paithad once been a sufficiently stark and comfortless regime But times were changed now. Mother Superior was noted for the moderni-ty Her girls, she sa.d of her views. must presently face the world as it was-w- ith aU its hurry of planes and cars, its noise and progress "Old girls" were twenty, found employment under "responsible cus-tody" and in the unknown world, disappeared; new girls came in and frightened and homesick from the most unfit and even wretched of homes, or rebellious that are underprivileged for girls who are definitely unfortunate, per-haps through no fault of their own. However, the servant your moth-er's servant, who brought you here was very definite that it had been her wish to put you with us. Mrs. Haskell Emma t- - you remember her? you will see her now had known a fine woman who became one of Saint Dorothea's Sisters, and through her she knew exactly the character of our work." "I remember Emma," Cherry had stammered, almost faint with this final excitement. There had not been any especial stigma attached to her name then; she might have been one of the Victor street girls! Sister Fabian and Sister Gervase were both indisposed on the train. They did not want any supper; they had the three berths made up im-mediately, and Cherry left them to the little room,, found a window seat in the empty length of the car and sat, fascinated, watching the landscape flying by. She jumped when old Dr. O'Conner touched her arm, real-ized that she was hungry, went with him, through the swaying train to the dining car. and was so rapt over its light and warmth and the bewilder-ing obligation of ordering something from a menu for the first time in her life that tea and biscuits and honey were all she could murmur when her companion poised his pen-cil over the order blank. Both little nuns were tucked up in bed when she cautiously entered the drawing room. Cherry had the lounge, and slept the sleep of youth and fatigue within its narrow boun-daries. Breakfast was another ad-venture such smoking cofTee, such buttered toast! and the long day that dragged for almost everyone else on board was too short for her. But at a quarter past seven o'clock for the train was late when they descended somewhat grimy and jad-ed at the Oakland Mole, sheer ner-vous excitement and expectation had exhausted her. She was pale, too much absorbed in her own emotions to notice the effect of her chauffeur. He was quickly identified by the wearied Sisters, and Cherry in her turn identified the nice middle-age- d maid who had accompanied him. May, the housemaid, who had been sent to meet her, was really, Cherry discovered, a Mrs. Mott who had two almost grown boys. But she was "May" to the whole house-hold, she said goodhumoredly, and Miss Cherry had better call her so. "I'm not going to live at the Marshbanks'," Cherry told her. "I'm going to take a position." "The judge said you'd be with us only a few days. He is going to play bridge somewhere tonight, and he's having his dinner at seven. next 10 it, Drusnea ner nair ana washed her face in a condition of complete bewilderment, and de-scended again, still under Molly's escort, to the dining room where it appeared that she and her host were to be the only persons at dinner. He was halfway through his meal; hers was served to her fresh and hot. But she was unable to eat. The quality of the Italian lace that was spread on the polished wood, the beauty of china and crystal, the soft light of candles were such as Cher-ry had never seen in her life nor ever dreamed could exist, and the numbing sense of being only in a dream made it impossible for her to taste or swallow anything. Even the food was beyond what had been her most fantastic imaginings. "Don't you like that?" the judge asked, looking over his paper. "It's wonderful. She made a val-iant attack upon it. "Know what it is?" "No, sir. Chicken, I guess." "That's partridge. If you don't like it Martin will get you an ome-lette." "Oh. no, please! It's delicious." To her own disgust and surprise, her voice thickened. But he did not seem to notice it, and when he re-turned to his paper she made her-self finish her dinner, and felt her nerves more steady. A sudden sense that she did not belong in this scene, that it had nothing to do with her. that she never should have entered it, had almost wrecked her for a moment. With the blinding force of a revelation she knew that her rumpled childish dress was absurd, that the dowdy hat she had left up-stairs, the bulging shabby patent-leathe- r bag, the ugly school shoes and cotton gloves and stockings had no place in this house, and were like nothing that had ever been here before. She knew, inexperienced as she was she had read it in her host's first look that her shabbi-nes- s and homeliness had shocked him. He had seen her only once before, flushed with triumph after the school play, made up into her handsomest self as a brown-skinne- d Indian girl gay in feathers and fringes. The knowledge that came to her in this flash of shame and pain made the big dining-roo- chair in which she sat a seat of torture to her. But she did her best to conquer the feeling, and was quite calm when a young man came in, un-announced, and drew a chair to Judge Marshbank's side. The judge, after a casual friendly greeting, glanced over at her and said, "Mr. Coates, Cherry," and then, "This is Miss Rawlings, Kelly."
