eastbound train that frosty january moni- lug when it drew up fcj the station of the utttavtownta western ontario most of the occupants of the coach that 3he fehtered glanced at her with mild interest ind theirresumed their former attitudes toar there was nothing about her to arrest attention not the attention of a casual observer at any rate 1 but there was nothing whatever casual about the little old lady across the nisle her bright dark eyes gleamed with interest behind the big goldrhnmed spectacles as they tested on the straight somewhat stiff figures of the girl was then nodding a restrained farewell to the group of friends on the platform aa the tralii drew forward again on its waythe hew passenger took a deep hreath- which did not escape the- hdtlee of her neighbor and then relaxed re- jnoving herhat- andjreil preparing to lean back in comfort she glanced about the car with eager interest finally her eyes met those of the woman across the i3lethellttleoldlady nodded briskly understandingly surprised and not altogether pleased june webster was inclined to retire into her shell with a stiff little bow o ac knowledgment but something in the friendly face deterred her and she smil ed back though a trifle unwillingly regular old miss pry i dont doubt she reflected but shes sort of like some of the folks around home i could riot hurt her feelings to forestall any further advances juno produced a book a s tohcr without making her one of them tatlously buried herself in its pages be but for soirtbttoie the mere fac june bit her lips yet lets go in she said r s she was quiet through dinner but mrs pomfret talked enough for- two relating endless tales of doubtful interest not long after dinner the train drew into the station at montreal junks heart was beating almost to suffocation as she involuntarily glanced across the aisle in spite of her irrltatloh she felt a pang of compassion for the iltyie old lady nervously struggling to close a bulging bag and to gather up the bird cage and a big bundle in a shawlstrap mrs pomfret wis plainly flustered im so excited i cant seem to man age she declared june felt her heart relenting after all the little woman was as kind as could be she should hate to have her mother- arrive alone in mon treal with no one to help her so swallowing jier pride the girl took the bird oage- in her free hondr and the two made their way to the ptronnrf gether j to take a taxi said mrs pom- fret agnes could no meet me asjune sihtertderea the birdcage to lfie15xidrivermrs pomfret leaned from her seat and kissed her you have been truly good to me my dear i hope i can do something for you some day june found her position at trumpet blairs a humble one in the basement and her lodgings an exceedingly small and dingy hall bedroom on the fourth floor of an unattractive boarding house the salesgirls who were her companions throughout the day regarding her with indulgent condescension and were kind tween the book and the fascination- of the flying landscape the morning passed rapidly when the porters call to lun- cheon in the dining car roused her she could hardly believe that it was riodn atinstant laterjshe tell a hand on her shoulder scuse meaidrthehlghv rather shrill voice of the old la across the aisle wont you go in to lunch with me i despise those dining cars spec ially alone i now june who had never been in a dining car in her lif e might in ordinary circumstances have welcomed company but as she glanced at the absurd little figureun rusty black with a shabbylbag in ohouongloyea hand and a large bcue evidently a blrdcage in her heart sank and she re ed- why need she be nice to a prying old frump like that she racked her brain swiftly for plausible excuse she couldnt declare she was not hungry ahe was ravenously hungry meekly she rose and followed jier self elected friend through the train once seated the little woman intro duced herself as mrs pomfret and said shewas 6hherwiyfrbrnta small ontario -town-to-spend-the- wintcrwith a niece in montreal then with businesslike directness she proceeded to find out all about june after a few moments of reserve the girl surrendered completely for after all there was no real reason for withholding information that it would lease her listener to hear and herself to impart 1 before thewaitcr had brought the ice water mrs pomfret knew that june was on her way to montreal and by the time the soup had arrived she knew that it was the girls first visit to a big city that she had looked forward to this magic day for years and years and that through the agency of an uncle who was on the road she would walk dir ectly into one of the large department sevres of montreal and get a position though in just what capacity she was as yet uncertain that did not- matter good mrs pomfret said approving ly as her bright glance rested on the fresh eager face across the table fjorlglncs all ayrnnge f tso i war rant oh yes mother never could have let me go if they hadnt been even now i believe she thinks i might as well walk into a den of lions arid june gave a vivid picture of the smalltown home and f amllysimpler honest people who had wan a modest success at the crossroads that she was in montreal was enough for her she was not long in making the ac- qualntance by reputation of stanley wilberforce the manager of the womens cloak arid suit department he was the favorite- topic of conversation all the girls agreed heartily that he vras a swell but opinion differed whether he was just naturally elegant or too stuck up and conceited for any user june threw herself into her work with ar enthusiasm that amused herassoei ates who declared that a nlnehour job- in a draughty basement on small wages was not a thing to be enthusiastic about but the store manager- knew the value of enthusiasm june gradually advanced until some months later she oame under the eye of thg manager of the cloak arid suit department theres a girl i need in my depart ment he declared good figure good manner and interested in the job so in november of junesflrst year she found herself selling expensive suits and gowns instead of the dish pans and egg beaters that she had sold in janu ary it was a big step upward and juno was happy over it but she did not like mr stanley wubefforcet her dislike was vague she never had cause for com- plainlj or accusatlon it was just that there was scmethingabdut him of course june did totseow- her feelings she simply kept out of his way as much as possible the other girls in the de partment appeared to adore him toward christmas the demand for pretty clothes increased till the sales women were as busy as they could yell ever handled fn her life and she was glad to turn it over at once to mr wil berforce as was customary in that de partment when anyone paid a- large amountrof cash the manager stepped to the cashiers desk obtained the small change oingmrs pomfret and handed it to juno with a little pang of homesickness sh5 watched mrs pomfret depart perhaps after all a little shabby somebody from home was about her speed she sighed a little itjpas hard to have no real friend in all the great city but she hid been unable to overcome a cfeirtaihv jfeserved shyness in her nature when she- was in the presence of the soptiistlcated young women with whom she worked say laura meeks voice behind her made her swing round in astonishment and her chin unconsciously rose an inch or two in selfdefensej i but there was a tinge of natural red in lauras carefully powdered cheeks say you know

aslt may seem many of the restaurant dishes which rlease the diners are dishesthajtareprepared ft almost- the same way as they are prepared in the averageihome frequently the sole dif ference is in some subtle touch some extra seasoning that trhnsforms the offering into a dish temptingly differ ent for instance a touch of sugar is in many casefe responsible- for the differ ence in flavor sugar

sleepy and settled down for a nap june found her book less absorbing than before and gave herself up to delicious dreams of the days to com when the porter announced dinner she glanced a bit apprehensively at mr ponrfret who was still dozing would it be rude for her to slip in to dinner by herself she could say she did no wish to disturb her june had almost decided togo- into the dining

to turn h ji and p to be busy butr observing the indolent almost insolent manner of laura meeker to whom the new customer timidly applied she sud denly changed her mind coming quickly forward she

the shabby bag a roll of bills that made june gasp mrs pomfret counted them carefully three dne-hun- dreddollar bills and a number- of other bills it was more money than june had well not really i
