Pat entered, her eyes obln'lng queerly, her cheeks flushed. "Why, Pat!" Lois' voice was amazed. "What are you doing back so early?" Zl walked out on the old duck," Pat said. "Walked out on him?" Lois gasped. "Oh. Pat!', "That's what I said." -"You'll probably be fired.' "I thought of that, too.". "Qood heavens, Pat," Lois said soberly, "couldn't you have stayed Just an hour or so longer?" - "No." Pat said. "I couldnt. Not for a hundred Jobs. He got fresh." Her face flamed suddenly. "Oh, ' Lois, he tried to kiss me In the taxi! He called me 'girlie.' and thought I was stalling when I pulled away." "The old sap!" said Lois. "But you don't find a new job every day. Pat was silent. There was something some-thing she couldn't tell Lois. About the taxi stopping in front ' of a speakeasy. She couldnt say "Once 1 tried being a good sport, Lois," because then 'she would have to ex plain about Jeiry and the tragic climax to that night. Tonight had teen an opportunity to Justify her-self, her-self, though she had not analyzed I?In that way. "I couldn't have looked myseir in the face if I'd gone to a place like that to save nar Job," Pat thought. JHWhat in the world did you do?" Lois queried. at laughed. . "Well, when he stepped out of thit taxi to the sidewalk side-walk I made up my mind I wouldn't get out I slammed the door and said to the driver "Drive onrrplease.' I think he was so as-: as-: toDished that he started the car without thinking. Thank goodness, -Iliad enough to pay the taxi bill! J iUh- you could have-seen Mr. Brentford standing there with his mouth open, like a surprised old fisb!" "Gosh. Pat, I'm afraid It will cost you your job." "A?YWAY: Pat,sald- "I'm s!a I ..,. w,d'd It." She was slippTnjTout of of .her clothes. In her , sleeveless trown, her blond curls loosened, she saf-on the edge of the bed.

You might have said your 'fiance was in town. Or that you were sick." N "Tried It." Pat said grimly, "but ft didn't work. I had a feeling something was up when I walked into that office and saw this old fellow waiting in the next room. So I said to Mr. Livingston 1 hope everything was all right this after- ! noon, it anything was wrong, i you'll have to excuse me because ! I've been feeling III all day " "I call that smooth," Lois said. "Well, he Just smiled, Lois, and said, 'I didn't notice anything (wrong. I thought you looked swell in the white evening dress. Mr. 1 Brentford, one ; of our best customers, cus-tomers, thought so too. Then he went on about how he was sure ( I was going to prove myself a val-juable val-juable employe and before long he'd have to speak to the cashier I about a little raise. And some Imore hokum ahniif o-rnftrHnp- nn. operation from all the employes and how we were all like one big family. Then he said this Brentford Brent-ford wanted to run out for dinner and a show and he knew he could count on me to entertain such a good friend of the firm for a few hours." "Smooth, too," said Lois. "And then he dated you up with .the old gink. Maybe this Brentford's a good scout, after all, and won't tell. Maybe he's so vain he'll be ashamed to tell your boss he didn't make a hit with you." "Maybe." , But Pat's ton was doubtful. Nothing unusual happened during dur-ing the next morning. Pat became more hopeful as the customary i juuiiuB yrogresseu. iuncn nour 41 J 1 . . came and still there were no, signs of a storm brewing. But a" little later Jane drew Pat to one side. The look on her face warned that trouble was on the way. , UWfHAT happened last night?" Jane asked. "I couldn't go through with it." "There wasn't any reason for you to get the Jitters. Lots of girls have let Tony Brentford pay for a swell dinner for them. When he found they weren't ambitious, that was all there was to it. All Mr. Livingston expects is tact, so there'll be no hard feelings." "Break the bad news." Pat said abruptly. "Well, you cost the firm a nice order. And nice orders aren't picked up very often these days. Brentford cancelled everything. You haven't a chance to stay. Anything Any-thing in sight?" Pat shook her bead. "Only Mulligan Mul-ligan stews for awhile ' "I'm sorry, Pat." Admiration and pity were mingled in Jane's eyes. "Mr. Livingston told me to ask you to stop by the cashier's desk this afternoon." "Tianks, Jane." Well, that was that. At five Pat got her enveldpe. Inside were several sev-eral crisp bills, her salary to date, and a brief memorandum attached: "After today your services will not be needed." Pat read It with a wry little smile about Hrermouth, reached up to pull her smalihat to more nonchalant angle, and bravely walked out of the bullding. She would have to find a cheaper nlace to live at ouoca. Lola cauld 2 ably required for transportation and delivery will not be accepted for mailing.

And Pat would have to find: job. r - She located the cheaper place without trouble a v fairly large room with a cubby-hole and gas plate where she could prepare her meals. The two windows would be a comfort and compensate for many other defects arid deficiencies, de-ficiencies, Pat decided. There were ' faded curtains at the windows, a faded rug and mismatched furni ture, but the place was clean and it was at the rear of the building. That was desirable because it made it quieter. ' '' .- v . TVTOT nervous, are you Joan 7" Backstage, Barney was smiling smil-ing down at her. "Just a little," Joan confessed. ' "No need. You'll go over all right." He was smiling, pleased with her appearance, confident, already al-ready savoring success. He reached forward, caught her hands In his arid patted them reassuringly. They were Barney and Joan now. In the week acquaintance had ripened into an almost unbelievable friendship. There had been several dinners at a charming English type inn, tucked away along the countryside, country-side, not tar from Greeawich. And two long drives through green hills with sudden glimpses of blue lakes. They had been friends from the beginning and Joan knew "she was happier because of Barney liked her. She liked him. Tbt was enough. His Interest, his devotion, de-votion, if she were honest, was spicing the days for her and had become an anchor In t the great city era aTlA tiorl Kaan or. nntttioia hl inn.iv m She had told Barney about Pat little, lost Pat, who was working as a model here In New York, with some queer Idea of working out her own problems unaided. She had told him of the tragic accident that had sent Tat, heartsick and bewildered, be-wildered, out Into the world. "The kid has spirit," Barney had said sympathetically. He had accompanied ac-companied Joan to a model exchange ex-change to see If they could find any trace of Pat There was always the chance, Barney said, that Pat might be using an assumed name. But Joan thought not. She was sure it would never occur to matter-of-fact Pat to resort to such tricks. . Joan was to appear in two numbers num-bers tonight. First as a sailor lad, wearing stiff ducks and a Jaunty cap. In the other, a lilting Gypsy song, she would be costumed In gay red and yellow satin with a scarf around her head. The crowd outside at the tables was unusually large. A young pianist billed as the "Southern Syncopator." played first The Banjo Boys, old favorites, gave a modern Interpretation of operatic selections and Bea, who had already al-ready danced her way Into the hearts of the Jigsaw Datrons. had Oaken her encores and returned. "All right. Joan!" Barney told her. He looked excited and some of that excitement was communicated communi-cated to her. He was counting on her, believing in her! A slim girl in the white and blue costume, a sailor cap on one Elde of her dark hair, her features concealed con-cealed by a black mask, stepped out into the glow of electricity.
