Harry Xril is arrested for eni vcis'iny funds, and JIarrict, his wife, because the believes in his innocence, is determined to prove it to the irorld. She obtains a position teith Harry's firm under the name of Miriam Taylor, and there attracts the atten tion of Charley Harmon, the son of the head of the firm, llatrict sdon discovers that Charley is falling in love iciih her, and one nxyht Lucy Pratt, an office stenographer, appears at the boarding house and tcarns Harriet to leave Charley alone. A few moments later Charley appears on the scene with a declaration of love, and Harriet, not knowing what to do, allows him to hope. The nett day on her way hnmcjrom work, she is seen and recognized by Kadia Howard, a girl from the tenement where she and Harry had lived to gether. Harriet escapes, but Sadie watches for her the next night, determined to make trouble. The Rescue HARRIET tried to speak quietly. "Whnt do you. Intend to do?" "I'm going to find out where you work and then tell the police," Sadie snid maliciously. "Your game is up. ' Harriet's heart wns beating fast Whnt could iho do? She did not think further nt the moment than a chauc to escape, hut thnt seemed woll-nlgh im nossiblc. Suddenly she esnied n fnmil lar figure coming toward them nnd a ray of hope stols Into her heart. Cliurlev had never been so welcome ns he was at that moment, nnd ns the two girls came abreast of him he stepped up to Harriet quickly. "Something is wrong," he said au thoritatively, locking from one girl to nnother. "Is this woman annoying you, Miriam?" Sadie lnuched. "Miriam?"

She wns fumbling in her handbag for her handkerchief when Charley proffered his. "Here," he said, roughly, "and don't cry. dear; it's all over now, you're quite safe." Safe.

Of course, I must ngree with "Roddy thnt "Pep's" Idea of an anti-dancer Is all wrong. But that's neither here nor there, as farther down tho column I disagree with "Reddy" again on the sub ject of jazz and shimmy. I am a football player, and therefore not graceful enough for moat of tho fast steps. But why knock? "Reddy" reminds mo of Aesop's fable of the "Fox nnd the Grapes." Because- ho can't do It ho Becks to banish It (I mean the shimmy). And as for Jazz music well, there Is no party whsre there Is no Jazz. I am about the same age as "Reddy," which shows that my position Is pot due to maturity or Immaturity of years, but by, as ho claims, nn adverso view of life. So I beseech you, Cynthia, not to listen to "Reddy," but continue your publica tion of advice and criticisms. If put to a vote I think I should win the argu ment UNKNOWN "X."

Perhaps you're the Julian Eltlngo of literature I havo been wondering whore you sot this Informa tion about tho male sex being responsible for the attitude taken by thei young women of today. Any ono thai nows anything at all about f"Tho Elusive. Sox" would suroly understand thnt womnn permits no man to- lead her about with a string. From the time of Eve, througn the ages of Cleopatra, and so on up until today the women have held the men be tween their palms, so to speak. More over, they know It I Really, D'Amour, It is not the men who need to assume a different attitude. It la the women. Of course, the men will never be able to point this out to them. Eventually, It will come; but It will nocossarlly come through their own awakening. Even now. If a girl demands respect she gets it but If she paints like an Indian, dresses like an aboriginal, dances Dromlscuouslv and. among other things, drinks and smokes, she gets the fruit of her endeavors- namoiy, tne sordid and ghostly things of life which are unreal and bear no semblance to good. And 1 might add, It Is her own and not tho men's fault I bear you no animosity. However. I would advise you to study the human raco a little more, and you will then be In a better position to judge and sym pathize with the persons who move about us every day. O. HENRY, JR.

They are dia metrically opposlto In character, al though both very' well educated, protty, etc., and morally unimpeachable. How ever, one has a position, whloh means that sho has absorbed muoh of that knowledge whloh overv man has that the world Is no seeming kindergarten but an extremely practical place. Tne other has always ijeen free from worry of any kind and enjoys every minute of llfo. Sho Is rather tho moro vivacious of the two.

And how happy she wan! This would mean more salary, more freedom and the chance to work out her own idenn about the work she loved. N Hut there, was something more than even this to make her eyes shine and her smile radiate her happiness. Aside from tho triumph she felt over the fulfillment of her hopes, the reward for. hor steady effort, there wns her conscience nt last satisfied. For it was a friend who, hnd got the position for her in the first place; o friend of her mother's who lield a very responsible place herself, and had recommended tho little girl out of the kindness of her heart. She was taking a chance to do It, for she did not know how the experi ment would turn out, and it does not speak well for you if you have taken It upon yourself to recommend a "fllrver." But she had enough confidence in her protege to run tho risk. It was as much for her sake as for for anything clso that the girl had worked so hard, tried so earnestly to make good.
