BY KATHLE Geraldine left Stockham on a Sat- urday, a still, soft Autumn day with heat enveloping the world. For th JE-hotar on the Jean a e saw the flying sea) through a blur of tears. It was Db to Stockham, the streets and the houses she had always known, good-bye to all the friends she had. She had told the family simply that she was going to Dean; the paper said that much baldly. For how long ?--Mary and Cousin Lizzie and Aunt Lizzie had asked, Well, that just depended upon an. "Deserted and penniless!" she said to herself in the train. And she won- noticing the slender young woman in taffeta ruffles, would dream of her real situation. Yet she was only twenty-six, and she was strong and well, and in spite of herself the unfamiliar trip inter- ested her, and the sight of the great roared and pounded at about four o'clock, thrill- ed her through and through. In hot, crowded, West Forty-eighth Street she found a boarding house. She had never heard of it, selected it idly from a hundred others that bore the betraying little white card next to the bell, She looked dispassion- ately at a small, hot, bare hall-bed- room; she agreed dully to the pay- ment of ten dollars a week. She gave her name as Mrs. Mary O'Brien. Why "Mrs. O'Brien," and why 266 West Forty-eighth Street? She did not know. But of course she would not give her own name. She was mild- ly surprised at the lack of interest her unannounced arrival excited. It was an underling who showed her the room and told her the price; she put her brush and comb on the bureau; hung a gown in the closet, washed her face, and walked, unchallenged, forth into the streets again. It was half past four; Dean would not be in his studio now, and she had decided that the studio was the place to find him. She had the address in her purse, something South Washing- ton Square--long ago she had gotten it from Louis But she would not go there until tomorrow. She wandered down the Avenue. The street was choked with ears, crossing policemen. blew shrill whis- tles; the procession started, halted, started again, and the home-going crowd swarmed from the curbs like bees. Suddenly Geraldine recognized a home face; Mrs, Potts, down in the city to do her fall buying: Her heart jumped with sheer terror, and she turned, unseeingly into one of the smartest of the Avenue shops. It was a tiny place with the single word dered if any of the other passengers; |V Geraldine Laird EN NORRIS, Author of "The Story of Julia Page," "Heart of Rachel," "Josselyn's Wife," "Sisters," ete. "Emelie" on the window, and was so ked with buyers that Geraldine ew herself instantly lost am them. There was evidently a sale going on, for the saleswomen were too hurried and busy to pay any at tention to an inconspicuous "solitax woman, and Geraldine could wal undisturbed. The shop was extremely handsome in all its appointments, and in here was softly lighted, and subtly en- larged in effect by a lining of mir- rors. - The gowns and hats were all unusual nd expensive, and the buy- ers were on pleasant terms with the saleswomen, called 'them = familiarly and evidently trusted to their ad- ce. In the back of the shop, constantly coming in 'and out of a small office marked "Private," was a handsome, dark-eyed woman of perhaps forty, who appeared to be in charge. Ger- aldine had not watched for five minu- tes before she realized that this per- son, in... fcrently called "Miss Lucas," "Mrs. Lucas" and "Madame" was the real authority in "Emelie's." She, like the others, was severely, and beautifully gowned in black, and had her hair elaborately dressed; she wore one magnificent ring, and the immaculate frill at her throat was held in place hy a bar of large ah. Urged by a sudden impulse, Gerald- ine seized a moment when this per- sonage was close to her, to say tim- idly; "Mrs, Luecas--" "Yes, my dear!" the woman afl wered, with a quick, curious look. She had been Tumaging in a glass- doored case, but she immediately gave her full attention to Geraldine. "I've been watching how busy you are," 'Geraldine said, nervously, "and I wondered if you--" "Tell me whet young lady waited on you, and I'll have her talk to you!" the other woman said, as Ger- aldine paused. Her eyes, meanwhile roved the crowded room distracted- ly, "I was wondering if you could-- could use me as a saleswoman-- could give me a job here--'* Gerald- ine stammered, miserably. Mrs, Lucas's face instantly chang- ed, and hardened. A look of quick self-protection and reserve marrowed her eyes, and she, began slowly to shake her head. "You've had some experience?" she asked cautiously, resuming her quick inspection of the tickets on the gowns that were flatly packed in the case, and jerking each dress forward on the pele after she had inspected its size number. "No," Geraldine said, "I just came down today, and I have to get some- thing to do--" (To be Continued.) TALKING IT OVER | ~With Lorna Moon-- & aes Daddy Twenty-five. . Minutes.

NO COUNTERFEITING. it Has Become a Lost Art In Britain . Counterfeiting is almost a lost art in Britain, So far as the coinage of silver money is concerned little has been the work of the police since about ten years ago they unearthed a plant that was busily engaged in coining a better grade of silver than the standard, and the gang went down for a féw years. Since then silver has risen considerably in price, and it no longer pays to coin the metal, There were quite a number of cases of counterfeiting the 10-shilling note printed on thin paper during the first few months of the war, and 2 Quite a few of these were drawn with pen and ink, but the Bradbury issue stopped this practice. Only the other day a man was charged with having in his possession copies of these early 10-shilling notes, and his defence was that he had made them for a joke, which he explained as ha -| peeling them from a roll and soi- Nehting his pipe with one.
