She sat down in the chair by the ta- ble as if she lacked the strength to stand. In the few secouds that elapsed before she answered me her nervous- ness increased.

"What is the nature of this employ- ment?" she asked. •" There was a longer pause than be- fore. I could see clearly enough what the poor little girl expected. Burnham 'el.nd others had suggested her peculiar overs as a means of earning her liv- ling, and she felt that I had come upon the same errand.
