Jennie Miller from Wyoming. AVccUs
nhd mouths pats and Jennie fits Into
ber surroundings. She is snubbed
nnd ignored, but makes one friend,
Sue Harrison, and an enemy, Gloria
Raymond. Sue's mother invites her
to spend the Easier holidays as Sue's
guest. 8he finds herself In a baud
Rome Fifth avenue house, and fits in
here, too. But "blood calls to blood"
While visiting her father in the
old Pekln cafe, Casey, the detective,
unexpectedly walks in on a friendly
visit. He allows her to return to her
Wends on the understanding that If
ever arrest becomes inevitable he is
to "make the pinch." On reaching
iho entrance to the Harrison home
she is accosted by young Kenneth
Harrison returning from a party.
AND HERE IT CONTINUES
HE SMILED challenglngly, plead
ingly. "You said something which
might be construed to mean that I wus
a knight who had juRt rescued a lady in
distress. Don't you think you could give
fhn knicht some reward one, of course,
that Is far beyond his poor merits say
a little kiss?"
. Suddenly her awe of him fell away
tint not her likinz.
"I couldn't answer that," she sale
eyeing him innocently, "until after 1
had asked permission."
"Whose permission?"
'Gloria Raymond's."
"Ouch!" He winced, then flashed n
smile at her. "You're no little mous,c!
There's a little devil In jou and 1
hope it's a nice little devil! And what
I just Bpokc of as a guess you know,
that later on you might make trouble
for us men that's no guess, it's n
certainty! As for me, when you get
n little older, I'm going to be very care
ful very, very carcfjl, Miss Miller."
In mock fear, and with an amused
half-serious, half-careless admiration,
he bowed over the hand he still held
and kissed It. "All I can ask Is, don't
be too hard on me, little devil. Good-
n'sQt'" ' .. ,
"Good-night," she nnswercd and
this time he let her go.
Jennie Considers a Problem
rpEN days later, when the Easter
JL vacation was over nnd the two girls
were returning, Mrs. jaarrison buiu jin
'vately to Sue: "What a simple, naive,
frank, unnffected .girl your new friend
is, my dear so refreshing, so un
spoiled, so unsophisticated !" And to
Jennie, kissing her warmly: "I do hope
(you'll come home with Sue again
come soon and often r
Jennie went back to school exulting.

"-was only the beginning of things. Thnt
.reaffirmation of purpose between hcr-
,scu anu ner lamer, as sno wougiic over
the scene during the days and weeks
which followed, stiffened her determi
nation to make good ; nnd to make goftl
'by adhering tp her program of growing
so imperceptibly as to cause no re
mark and awaken no jealousies. More
clearly than before did she sec that
her first victory must be to win here
at Braithewood.
She now settled more easily into the
routine of school life, nnd the months,
, which perform such great' and swift
I magic in a girl between sixteen and
twenty, passed without notable events.
Ml proceeded according to the careful
plan Jennie had made for herself. Her
summer vacations she spent, as Uncle
George had suggested, in very, veiy
select girls' camps. There were occa
sional visits to Sue's homo over week
ends and during short vacations
though Jennie, calculating shrewdly,
took pains not to go too often. During
none of these visits did she again
meet Kenneth. It appeared that he
yns a very popular young man, with
countless friends and more invitations
to house parties than he could accept
even were he to do nothing else than
play the constant guest; nnd it also
appeared that this nfjsencc from busi
ness he more than compensated for by
extreme concentration when he did ap
pear at the office. .
Toward the end of Jennie's second
year at Braithewood Gloria Raymond
x preparea ior ner nnai leave-taking,
vDuring commencement week Gloria,
with a superior and very mature, man-
ner which she seemed to acquire from

the fact. SDrunc a very great surprise :
she was going forth un engaged young
lady ana to Heighten tno superiority
thus clvcn her she had her fiance in
attendance on commencement day. He
was not Kenneth Harrison, Kenneth
had been discarded for tho present title
holder, who possessed a little more of
those things which the socinl world re
spects than Kenneth bad. But above
his reputed wealth and position, and
his undeniably perfect clothing, there
was obviously nothing remarkable about
Gloria's thoroughly paraded inamorato.
Since the distant encounter In the
squash court, when the two girls had
reverted to primitives, Gloria had been
discreetly careful In her attitude toward
Jennie, But on this her last day, her
soul raised aloft b.V the double dlenltv
of graduation and the presence of her
fiance, she turned to Jennie, after say
ing good-by to the other girls of the
crout) In nhieh Jennie rhnnrr-il in tin.
''Well, Miller," she drawled, haugh
ty insult behind her fine manner, "you
at least I'll never sco again, so I guess
this Is a permanent good-by. However,
I'll try to bear up."
Jennie seemed to be unconscious of
the insult. "Good-by." she said sim
ply. "To me it will always bo a
source of pleasure to have known you."
The quiet of Jennie's answer was
not what Gloria had expected : it throw
her off her guard. "Why?" she nBked.
"Becuuse, Gloria, dear," Jennlo re
plied, "knowing you has made It pos
sible, every morning when I wnke up,
to start off the day happjly by just
remembering how much worse every
thing might be if I ever had to see, you
again."
Gloria flamed ; for nn instant it looked
is if these two might revert a second
time. Then Gloria turned 'about and
took the arm of her fiance, with "Aunt
is waiting for us, Leonard." And fif
teen minutes later Gloria, in a car
with her joung pinn and with her
aunt, n lean nnd tottering lady with
nu amazingly girlish complexion, rode
forth fioni the grounds of Braithewood
mid out into the creat world which was
to be hers.
Little by little, very carefully, Jen
nie let herself out particularly after
uioria s leaving tnoucli Mio never
wont so far as to trv to hr n lpjulor-
Gloria had always assumed herself to
be the first, nnd Gloria had been hntcd.
Gloria could afford to be hated, f6r she
had assured position But Jennie
needed friends; she tould not afford to
cxclto jealousy and hostility; so she
tried to be no more than one of thn
first. And so shrewdly hud she planned,
so cautiously had she executed, so
vigilantly had she watched for and as
similated details, that when she began
ner iourm year tnc crude girl who
had entered Braithewood was hardly
remembered. She was liked and ad
mired by both the girls and the teach
ers. She had learned to dress cor
rectly froin the precise nnd unimagina
tive Miss Van der Brunt, nnd to cor
restness her own taste hud added orig
inality. The singing master was en
thusiastic over her voice. The little
dancing mnster declared, in his excitable
manner, that ns n dancer Mie might bo
come nn artist if she cared to. And
Mibs Gresham lilted to have her nour
tea at her weekly teas for the girls
nnu more tnnn once she said approv
ingly, "l'ou did it excellently, my dear;
you have good humor, you know how-
to make people talk, you havo poise
anu tiiose nre wnnt n lauy most needs."
And so, after slow years, Jennie had
consummated her careful plans. She
'iad won 1
l'es, she had won. But toward the
latter part of her fourth year, when
she was soon to be twenty, it came
upon her with growing conviction that
what she had won was really only the
veriest beginning that before her was
her greatest problem. In a few months
her lift at Braithewood would be ended.
She had no home to go back to as had
the other girls. No pleasant course of
life was nil prepared waiting for her to
slip into. What was she going to do?
She snw possible answers. But this
great problem so profoundly affecting
her nearing future was not one she
'ouid, or had the right to, solve by
herself. Others were deeply concerned
chiefly her father. She had not tried
to see him again nil these years; bIic
had adhered faithfully to the promise
Black Jerry had extracted from her that
night when her surreptitious visit to
him had so nearly ended in disaster.
As for Uncle George, that worldly-wise
gentlemnn hod developed a consistent
plan out of the possibility he had men
tioned to Miss Gresham the evening he
had brought Jennie to Braithewood
that the necessity of traveling imposed
upon him by his affairs might prevent
him from coming to visit his ward.
He had never come a second time; It
seemed safer so; hardly any one had
seen him on his first visit except n maid
or two and Miss Gresham and lie
thought it wiser for his personality to
be no more than a dim, fading memory,
