High-spirrteail :iiirt of 19, in
search of work, seeks refuge
lfrorn a stern* ;In an old stone
house with 14 '.blue door in the

love with JOHN McNETLL, the

Anger that • was positively ex-
hii i ting carried Roth !through
OA First stage of leer journey.
She' walked past the McNeill
place, unseeing,' on out t.Garfieid
;avenue to wherethe paving end-
ed and the highway 'began.
There she became alert for
means of transportation other
than her already weary feet. Two

the feminine occupants eyed her
suspiciously and sped on. A. third

kis pick her up, but when she saw
et close range the two men who
rode in the front seat, she quick-
ly shook her head negatively and
walked on, looking straight ahead.
Those men could have been cast
as movie gangsters without even
ra•ppiying make-up — dark -jowled,

i-Titching A Ride
She thought, "1 s u p p o s e
they're brothers and belong to
a notorious gartg. I'd have been
a fool to step into that car."
Perhaps She was entirely
wrong in her estimate of the
pair, but at least it gave an in-
teresting edge to her adventure
and took her mind off her re-
cent ordeal back there in the
:taunter hallway.
Ruth walked • n. and was dis

The couple- evidently were
pleased to be called "the right
sort or people" by this pretty,
well-mannered girl, and conver-
satioti developed without effort.
Ruth...soon knew a great deal
about Mr, and Mrs. Segwick, at
they 'were 'named A year after-
ward she Was not to be able to
recall their plain, undistinguish-
ed :Eaves or the inflections of
their crude, honest voices, but
she was never to forget their
kindness to her in this hour of
need.
Chance of a Job
Only one incident marked the
ride to Cleveland. About mid-
way of the distance the car be-
gan to "act queer," eccorcling
to Mr. Segwick, and 'to cause
hire great concern. Be.drove in-
to a village garage to see what
was wrong. It developed that an
important part had broken and
must be replaced before the
journey could be retned.
The part could be supplied
then and there, but neither the
driver nor his wortsied wire
could produce the $7 necessary
to pay for it. They had been
on a long trip and were almost
down to their last dollar. It was
finely arranged by the easy-
going garage owner that his
,customers should give him a
check for the amount. This Mr.
Segwick did, writing his Cleve-
land address below his name at
the mechanic's :request, _
When they were on their way
again Ruth said regretfully, "I
wish. I could have have lent you
the money till ysu got home
But I haven't a cent myself."
Mrs. Segwith replied. "That's
all right. if you had money io
lend you likely wouldn't be
hitch -hiking. Have you got :t
job waiting frt. you in the
city?„
"No," Ruth admitted.• "Not a
the Salvation Army home till I
can find something."
Mrs. Segwick clicked her
tongue in sympathy and chang-
ed. the subject. Later she return-
ed to it, showing it had been
en her mind.
"Ed," she said to her hus-
band, "do you think Miss Wood-
son would suit your Cousin El-
la?"
"h've been wondering that,
boo," replied Mr Segwick. "'1'n
ne
soways 1 think she would."
"If she's strong enough." Mrs.
Segwick speculated.

about Cousin Ella, whoever she

finally interrupted the meet:-

They took her first to War:,
Jones' beauty shop -- a. busyr '
gaudily prosperous little estab "
lishmen't called "kllla's - Band.
Box," located in an outlying'
shopping district. ')'here they
introduced Ruth to Mrs. Jones
with earnest recommendations
of character, and ability. The
girl was both amused and touch
ed to find herself so extolled
by people who knew her , only
as a wanderer who had ridden
in their car and shared a break-
down with them. She secretly
pledged herself then and there
to justify their child -like con-
fidence in her
Mrs. Jones, a large
blond with a brisk manner, in-
terviewed Ruth in a little booth
where she was marvelling a cqs-
toner's hair. As she talked she,,
heated a curling iron over a gas
burnerand then waved it about
in the air to cool it before ap-
plying it to the hair. Ruth,
whose naturaly curly hair had
never been treated inside a
beauty shop, was fascinated by
these rites. It was all she could
do to keep her mind on what
Mrs. Jones was telling her:
"Maude and Gracie Louise
have to be at school by 8:30,
and I've got to be here even
earlier. That means the girl and
I have to get up at 6 every
morning." Itutll divined that by
. "the girl," Mics. Tones •meant
the maid or housekeeper.
Mrs. Jones further explained, N

ready for supper she asked, "Do
you drink plain milk, or do you
have cocoa in the evening?"
"Neither one," answered Grit -
Cie Louise, the elder, "Tea."
"That's a lie," stated Maude..
"We're supposed to have milk,"
Their voices rose to a shrill ere-
seendo of argument which Ruth
interrupted to gall them to sup-
per. When they sat down at the
table she noticed that they slump-
' ed untidily and spilled their wat-
`'el' as they drank.
Grateful For A Shelter
Itntlt said, feeling her new re-
' , s; beibilities keenly, "I'd like

Tirst unfold your napkin this

your bread before you butter it.
Your mother asked rale to be care-

"Oh, rats!" remarked Gracie
Louise rudely. Ruth saw that she
was wearing lipstick. It came off
on her napkin, along with the
butter on her breach. Ruth, re
tnembering - Gracie Louise's 12
tendee..years, was a little horri-
fied. She asked mildly, "Does
our mother know you wear lip -
tick, dear?"
"Sure," replied Gracie Louise.
"That's a lie," said Maude.
She stole it out cf Morn's box."
