Through DR. DON STILLWATER, SONIA MARSH, young, poor and pretty, obtains a position in the San Francisco office of JitD THOMAS, his uncle. MAXINE LARUE, head of her department, invites Sonia. VIOLET. FERN JINNY and FRANKIE to her liquoi party. Sonia quarrels with BERT DONOHUE because of her infatuation for FRANKLIN CRANE, whose lather was a friend of JED THOMAS. Maxine notices her employer's interest in Sonia. Sonia visits her sister VERA and meets TOM UNDERWOOD, who i9 engaged to wealthy SIDNEY MAINE. Maxine, with whom Sonia lives, admits that her elderly friend. MAC McGREGOR, is married, Crane tells Sonia his engagement to Sidney’s cousin. GENEVIEVE ERICKSON. was arranged by his rich mother, that he never intends to marry the girl, although the engagement cannot be broken for fear of the bad effect on the health of his invalid mother. ~ despair, Sonia makes a conditional promise to marry wealthy WALTER HENDERSON, whom her parents. ANN and SAM MARSH, favor. Crane asks her to give up Henderson, hoping that a turn for better or worse in his mother's health will permit him to break his engagement. She consents. Henderson leaves the offer open for her lengthy consideration. At the theater Sonia sees Crane with his fiancee. He is very attentive. The uncertainty of her own part in his life troubles her. She demands that he choose between her and his fiancee. He says he loves only Sonia. Dr. Stillwater takes Sonia on a hike. When he asks if she loves him. she evades the question. Disillusioned he plans a trip to Berlin. Sonia is undecided about going on a postponed week-end trip with Crane to his summer cottage. CHAPTER XXXVIII In spite of a restless night, Sonia awoke encouraged. The sun was shining. It was another day. The sheer vitality of her refused to permit her to remain melancholy. Something might happen. Things would change. "It’s a long lane that has no turning.” Cheered by the unexpected brightness of the sun in winter, she whistled, as she dressed. It irritated Maxine. "Cut it out. Don’t you know this is Monday morning?” Maxine was pale and listless. Shadows lay like little sooty smudges beneath her eyes. She groaned, “How cap I ever stand it for another week?” "Stand what?” ‘‘The everlasting monotonous grind of the office. The silly mistakes or those silly girls. The eternal, neverending sameness of it, day in and day out.” Sonia stared at her. She had never felt like that except for those few awful days when she had quarreled with Franklin. Her work was tiresome, but it was only a means to an end. She had never taken her bookkeeping seriously. "Do you suppose Mac can go on our party next Saturday?” Maxine yawned. “I don’t know. And I don’t seem to care this morning about that or anything else.” "Will you ask him?” said Sonia, not deceived by the other girl’s apparent indifference. She would

FACE DISFIGURED WITH PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS Druggist proves a friend in need “Two years ago my face was an awful sight. l The skin broke out with pimples and blackheads and itched all the time. I washed it frequently and applied various salves, but they helped little. One day I asked a druggist for a good cure for my case, and that night I took home a small jar of Resinol Ointment. Every morning and night I washed my face and applied the ointment, rubbing it in good. After a few treatments I noticed the pimples were starting to decrease and in two or three weeks they were practically gone. I was so well pleased with the results that I now keep Resinol on hand and recommend it whenever I can.” (Signed) Elkin E. Berry, 1028 Third Ave., West, Kanspell, Mont., March 00. —Advertisement.

care when the time came. She has been wild to go on Saturday. Maxine was splashing cold water on her white face. She still wore the old blue bathrobe. "I’ll ask him, darling. Count on little Maxine. We’ll be there if possible." But Mac was uncertain. He kept them all in suspense, although Crane insisted that Sonia was coming anyway. It was a restless, unsatisfactory week, full of undercurrents. Sonia, was resolved not to go without the other two, yet felt her resolution weakening day by day. Maxine was nervous and depressed. She was “fed up,” she repeated, bitterly, with this affair of hers. She’d been a fool to let Mac come near her after she knew he was married, and on and on, endlessly. Sonia developed a faculty of, appearing to listen intently, dropping a sympathetic comment at discreet intervals, but, all the time, deep In her own thoughts. She saw very little of Franklin. His mother still demaded a great deal of his attention. He admitted, reluctantly, that Genevieve Erickson had been invited to dinner on Wednesday. Sonia was sweet about it, pretending not to care. But she spent the evening alone in the apartment, mending, with her lips set In a grim line. * * * Friday morning, a dropping, dismal morning, Mac telephoned that he could go. -Maxine floated to Sonia’s desk, with eyes like a child’s at Christmas time. “Mac carl go!” She whispered. At the definite knowledge that she would no longer have to fight her desire to go without them, Sonia felt enervated and weak. She worked, mechanically, eyes on her figures, her mind doing somersaults from the terms of the contracts before her to those hushed hidden moments in Franklin’s arms. The longing for him was a physical pain. Almost unendurable! Then she felt the hush of the other girls in the department and looked up to see her father’s shabby, figure, standing beside her. She was compelled to rub her hand across her t yes. He had been si far from her thoughts. “What’s the matter, Sonia?” Count, on him seeing that furtive, bewildered motion. Sonia smiled. "Why, I’m so surprised! What do you mean sneaking in on me like this?” He chuckled like a truant school boy.

”1 guess I surprised you, all right. I’ve taken a day off.” She was holding his hand, noticing more than ever his beaten, apologetic munrter. But the blue eyes were beaming in his lined face. “The whole day.” he repeated. “Do you suppose you can get away?” "I’m afraid not, Daddy. Not for so long, but I’ll ask for extra time at noon. I can’t believe you’d take that long trip just to stay one day.” “I’d do more than that for a glimpse of you.” She sent him away with a promise to meet him at noon. When she found him outside the real estate office she suggested that they go to a \ittle French restaraunt far out on Montgomery St. “We’ll walk through Chinatown,” she said, "and you can talk to mo.” He surprised her by answering, with unusual firmness, "You’re going to do the talking this time, Sonia.” / “But I‘ve nothing to talk about. Life goes on just the .same . . "Honey,” he said, gravely, ‘T’ve been worried about you ever since you were home.” "Now, Daa . . "Yes, Mother and I both. Something had happened. You were changed.” Tears welled up into his eyes. "It almost kills us to think anything Is making you unhappy and we can’t help you.” ' Sonia swallowed a lump In her throat. “Nonsense! I know what’s the matter with you. Just because I shed a few tears the day I ■ came away! That was natural. Any girl might have done that.” She was talking, aimlessly, trying to avoid his steady, sorrowful gaze. "Some girls might, hut not you. Your old Dad knows you better than that. I can see there’s some thing still bothering you. You look tired and nervous. . . Oh. Father! Please! "Won’t you ever realize that I’ve grown up?” Pain was stamped upon his features. Not me, Sonia. "You’ll never be grown up to me. Do you know what I dreamed last night?” They had reached the Intersection of Grant Ave. and California St. Looking up, Sonia saw old St. Mary's Church. There was an Inscription In the tower below the clock whifch she had never noticed before. She read It now, trembling at its terrifying significance.

"My son, observe the time and fly from evil.” Why should she have seen it now? At this particular moment, when she needed every faculty to evade her father. In that second it was beaten into her brain never to be forgotten. “Sonia, I was speaking to you." "Vest father?” His voice was gently insistent. “I said I wanted to tell you about my dream.” “Observe the time and fly from evil—fly from evil—Yes, Daddy?” “I dreamed you were a little girl again. You had fallen in your play and when you came running to me your feet were muddy. I sat down,” he smiled, "and held you on my lap while I washed them. Just like I’ve done many a time. Those little, stumbling feet . . ." His voice broke and he turned away. “Won’t you tell me, Sonia? Whatever it is?” But she could answer nothing. Struck into dumbness by the dream he had related, following the slg-
