NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXII Jimmy had seized her by the hand. He was leaning toward her, His voice was agonized, "Mary, you mean you--you love him?" But she did not answer. She had turned her head away and was ery- ing. "Mary, look at me. Look at me and then tell me that you're marry- ing this man becauge you love him," "Don't!" Her vdice was muffled, her handkerchief pressed tightry to her lips. And then dgain hot anger over- whelmed him. He was seized once more with that uncontrollable desire to hurt her. : "I might have known," he said bitterly, "that I had no right to hope. There was a fellow in your d@ttice, They called him Mac, He said money would buy anything. He was right; it will. This man--" "Jim, don't. Please don't say any more," : But he went heedlessly on, the words, rushing insanely (from his lips. "This man Church has! money-- lots of it: He can get anything he wants {with it. He got ybu with it. You're! marrying 'him fo¥ his money; that's 'what 'you're doing." 'How dare you!" Bite turned on him, hé# Hps trem? "You 'don' t deny 3 4 He laughed scornfully. "You don't dare tell me you 10ye him. You can' You don't dare look at me and' tell me you don't Jove me.' She drew herself up. sume a great deal." "I presume nothing. facts." She had regained her composure now. She said, trying to wound him, "To be so sure of yourself certainly indicates you are not lacking in con- ceit." The barb went home, His face reddened. "Perhaps," he said, "I did take to much for granted. I'm sorry." At the contriteness in his tone she reached involuntarily toward him with her hand, but he did not see it and she hastily drew it back. 'And so he went plunging ahead, still trying his best to hurt this girl whom he loved better than anything in the world. "I had thought Mac was wrong. I thought there were some things in this world that money could not buy. But I was wrong--I was a fool. You even got me out of the way down at the office. I offended you, and so you had me fired.' She' looked at him, startled. "You thought that?" she repeated slowly. "You thought I had you fired?" and instantly he saw he was wrong in accusing her. "What else was I to think? I found you cold. You wouldn't even speak to me, and that evening the man you work for discharged me." "I don't think," she said in a whisper, "that Sam Church would think such a thing of me." "Oh, darn Sam Charch!""\ he flared at her. "I suppose I'm to think he's some kind or a saint. If you want to knew my opinion of Sam Church, I think he's a dirty sneak." "It is hardly the chivalrous thing to do to speak like that of him When he isn't here' "He lied about me!" Jimmy eViad, "He poisoned you against me--the sneak." "I' suppose," she retorted, "you think your taste in choosing friends is better than mine. The lady you were seen with is not exaetly un- known, you know." "Yes," he answered botly, "and I see her mearly every night. What do you think of that? I'm with her every might." 3 'He rose from the bench and clamped his hat down viciously on his head, his back to her. She stretched her hand out in a little gesture of appeal, but he was not looking. "Goodby," he said. "You seem to have made your choice. I only hope you'll be as unhappy as I am." He walked away, without another back- ward glance, taking long, swift strides. . She sat perfectly still for several minutes, doing mothing but gaze 'You pre- I'm stating 4 and then shrugged after his departing figure as it/strode through the park. Then she bowed her head on her arm and cried as if her heart would break. "Jim," she sobbed, 'you don't care. You don't care, or you wouldn't talk like that." LJ * LJ Jimmy's job that he had been hunting all morning was waiting for him in, the first place he entered after leaving Mary, The irony of it all was . that he no longer cared whether he got a job or not. He plunged through the park with- out a glance to left or right, his hands stuck in his overcoat pockets, jaw grimly set, head down, "Money!" he exclaimed bitterly. "Mac was right. All you need is money and you can buy anything." At the edge of the park he paused and looked backward. But the bench was hidden from sight by the trees. '"'God help me," he said, "I love her. I can't help it." He walked blindly on and suddenly found himself standing in front of an electric laundry office. He stpod irresolutely for a moment his shoulders. "What difference does it make?" and walked in. "I want a job," he said to the girl who advanced to meet him, "Mr. Porter over there is the man to see." He walked over. want a job." 'The man inspected him, noted the trim figure and the neat clothing and shook his head, "Sorry, we nave no office jobs open." "I don't care about an office job. I'll do anything." "The only thing we have is driv- ing a laundry truck." "All right. I'll drive a laundry truck--anything." Again the man surveyed him. "Say, what's *the matter with you? You're not cut out for driving a truck. You're a college man, I'll bet a dollar. Aren't you?" "Yes, Does that handicap mie any in driving a laundry truck?" Mr. Porter laughed. "No, 'Mr. Porter, 1 I can't say that it does. What's the matter? Down 'on your luek?" "No, I just need a job.* "Drive a car?" "Yes. 1 used to sell them." "All right, I can use you. I can't seem to get hold of a man that's any good. I suppose you'll be quit- ting just about the time that you know your route," "I won't be quitting for quite a while," Jimmy said. , "All right. Report for work to- morrow morning at 'seven-thirty. Your job will be collecting and de- livering laundry." ""Thanks, I'll be here." He walked out of the door. "There's a funny one for you, Miss Caton," called Mr. Porter to the girl who had met Jimmy when he came in. "College man driving a laundry truck." She looked 'toward the door that had closed behind Jimmy Rand's back. "I'll say," she answered, and resumed chewing her gum. LJ] * * 'Mary Lowell sat on the bench where Jimmy had left her for fully an hour. Then she went home and called her office to say that she was not feeling well and would not be back for the afternoon, : "Why Mary, what's the matter?" asked Mrs, Lowell, "Aren't yaa well?" "It's just a headache, mother, I'll g0 in my room and lie down tor a while. It will be better." And she went in her room, to tling herself face down on the bed and wet her pillow with tears, On her dressing table was a portrait of Samuel Church, placed here re- cently by her mother. L * * Jimmy, after leaving the launary office, walked, without being con- scious of direction, back to the park. He was half way through it before he realized where he was. Then, drawn by some irpesistible impulse, he walked swiftly over to the bench where he had left Mary. She had gone, and he sat down wearily. A small handkerchief was 4 lying on the bench, and he recog nied it by the perfume as Mary's. He picked it up and pressed it to his lips and cursed himself for talking to her as he had. "I was a fool," he said. "I haa no right to hurt her like that, even though she did hurt me. It's that temper of mine. Whatever chance I had I suppose I've lost now." He took out his wallet and placed the handkerchief in it and then put it back in his pocket. His left hand, fumbling idly in his overcoat, pocket, came in contact with the blackjack that he had taken away rrom the man who had followed him home that night, Tt had been in his pocket ever since O'Day had left him. He had put it there, intending to give it to the lieutenant the next time he saw him, He took it out of his pocket and idly studied it. Emery was leaking out of it where O'Day had ripped the stitches. He took his penknife from his watch chain gnd ripped out the remaining stitches, letting the rest of the heavy emery dust run out, "It will never hurt ahyone else," he said abstractedly. He was sud- denly overcome with a feeling of tenderness, He shoved the now harmless weapon back in his pocket and stood up. It was quite dark. He shook himself together, "Something to get my mind ott my- self before I go crazy." He set off through the park at a brisk gait and didn't stop until he had reached his room, a walk of more than a mile, There, after washing and putting on a fresh shirt, he went to the telephone, called up Olga Maynard at her apartment and asked her to meet him downtown for dinner. "Anything to forget," he said. after he had hung up the receiver, (To be continued) HE 18 HELPING Every man who works is helping to drive poverty out of the world-- first his own, and then that of his fellow-beings.--Henry Ford, / WHERE Dual ITY COUNTS / / WHERE \ OuALITY TS ---- HOUSE CLEANING WEEK 'During this week you will be able to obtain Your House Cleaning Necessities at a Great Saving SOAP P&G Gold Comfort 10- we 49] 'FELS NAPTHA SOAP 10 Bars 63° Cood Strong Parlor BROOMS 35° BON AMI - RINSO - SANIFLUSH STAR AMMONIA 2 phts. 15¢ IVORY SOAP FLAKES 10° CHLORIDE LIME 2 for 25° 2 cakes 285° 2 pts. 15° PERO0R WAX . 200 J oLLEx | ping 14° OLD DUTCH 3 Tins CLEANSER 29° CLOTHES PINS BULK - 3 doz. 10° GRIPRITE - Pkt. 8¢ tes 300-23" HAND CLEANER 29¢ "Ghick Lun STELNA CORN BULK MACARONI 3ibs. 25° ED BEEF 1s - - - 28° Aylmer Beans With | Pork Tomato ange Tea Strong, Flavery Teas 79¢h. pct 73eh.
