STORY CHAPTER FIFTEEN <Con.) Instead Eve saw a line of men. mostly middle-aged or elderly seated in classroom chairs with right arm desks. They were quietly and intently watching the board before which a young lad dashed back and forth, chalking figures The chief sound was the staccato of the ticker as it spit forth a constant stream of paper tape. Eve stood, eon fused, until a boy approached her. "Anything I can do for you?" he questioned. "Why—uh—is Mr. Sarford In?"; Evp stammered. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sanford is out at lunch." the boy replied. Will some one else do?” "No. thanks. I’ll be back later," Eve answered, relieved, and hurried out Dirk had told her that some people bought storks through their banks Perhaps that would be simpler Her lunch p< riod was over and Eve could not escape from the office until evening. Then it would be too late to go to the bank. She would have to wait until tomorrow. a a a BUT the next noon there was a pouring rain and Eve had so much unfinished work on her desk that she took time only to slip down stairs for a sandwich and a chocolate malted milk. Thus it was several days later before she felt she could spare time during her lunch hour for a conference with a banker. In the meantime she had received another pay envelope and a large percentage of its contents had been deducted by Bixby’s, for apparel charged to her account. Eve’s personal finances were in a low state, yet she optimistically looked forward to making a fortune. There must be a way for her to get a foothold, she told herself, banishing from her mind any worry as to how she was to secure it. When En found herself ushered Into the office of Mr. Brown, the manager of the stock and bond department of the City bank, her assurance left her immediately as n pair of piercing dark eyes seemed to bore through her mask of nonchalance. He motioned her to a chair and then asked how he might help her. Eve decided it would be best to be frank and let this banker know she was a beginner who knew relatively nothing about playing the stock market. Mr. Brown patiently explained the methods of buying and selling, both through buying outright or on margin. Margining appealed to Eve. inasmuch as there would be a quick turnover for a relatively small investment. Mr. Brown explained the hazards of the latter method but Eve characteristically refused to consider that side of the picture. a a a SHE produced the list of stocks which Irene had recommended. Some of them Mr. Brown approved. "But why go into this?" he said scornfully, pointing to one "Can’t you see that its returns would be seasonal? "And this.” he objected. "It is buyers like yourself who know nothing about trading who have boosted such stocks to inflated prices. Insistent buying forces the stock far beyond actual value, prompted by earnings.” Eve’s fare flushed. Still she was convinced Mr. Brown was giving her good advice. "How large a sum were you thinking of investing. Mrs. Rader?" he asked. "Perhaps I could suggest a method of distribution."

Why—why—” Eve fumbled for words. "I haven’t quite decided. But thank you so much for your advice!” she plunged on. “I’ll stop in some time next week.” Once more Eve was glad to be out in the winter sunshine. Three persons she knew passed, but Eve did not see them. She was late getting back to the office and knew Barnes , would be sarcastic about it. Already her vision of a future in •he field of advertising had dimmed before the excitement of this newer venture into the world of finance. CHAPTER SIXTEEN EVE cupped her hand over the telephone and turned to Dick. "Dick," she said, “it’s Mona Allen! She says her boy friend can t bnng her and sh“ wants me to send some one for her. What snail I tell her?" "Tell her to stay at home.” Dick answered with twinkling eyes. Eve. nervous and tired, pleaded .n a stage whisper for him to drive over for Miss Allen. "She says it’s onlv in the 100 block, darling, and I hate to offend her for office reaI sons.” With a shrug he agreed. Later he •id ample opportunity to regret the decision. He sat waiting in the re- • prion room of the boarding house where Mona Allen lived for what siemed hours. However. wh°n she finally came down the stairs Dick felt his grievance leaving. She ooked childlike and her round blue • yes lifted in an innocent expression as she slipped her arm through his and tripped along on her dainty spike heels to his roadster. The other guests had all arrived when Dick and Mona reached the apartment. Eve had been forced to receive them alone and Dick saw that she was displeased Mona had scored once more and Eve resolved not to forget it. But there was no time then to give to such thoughts. Eve turned to her other guests and sought to lift the restraint which they .seemed to feel at being together socially after a long period of purely business contact. Their diffidence soon yielded to the charm of their surroundings. however. Eve had made the most of the spacious living room. a a a Before long three tables of bridge were in progress. Arlene assumed the leadership here, j but, try as Eve might, she was not {able to persuade George Bliss to join the same group. Again it was Mona Allen who Interfered with Eve’s plans. It seemed Miss Allen told fortunes. At the time bridge was announced Bliss found his hand being stroked and a softly purring voice coaxing him to sit down and have his future predicted. Bridge was a poor bait in the face of that. Eve thought. Arlene, lovely in velvet of deep iris blue, kept watching the couple and had to be reminded often that it was her turn to play. George Bliss had always felt that his was a sympathetic nature and an affectionate disposition, but he had not realized how much he craved companionship until this soft-voiced blond girl in Chinese red chiffon told him so. It required only a few artfullyput questions on her part, but he thought she read it all in his hand. With the greatest reluctance he reinquished his place to .oily Mr. | Conners, super-salesman of electric appliances. But Bliss remained within earshot of Miss Allen and could no be enticed far away, although she read the palms of half of those present. a a a MARYA was escorted by her fiance, to whom she had been engaged for a year and a half. Eve found herself liking this young man instantly. She knew it was their plan that after marriage Marya i : hould give up commercial art in i order to paint more ambitiously. Ray had brought his violin and | played selections from several operas. Marya, in violet crepe, smiled serenely whenver his glance swept hers. (To Be Continued)

Holt called over from his raft: "Don't shoot wildly. Jean. You’ve got to get them behind the ear. Otherwise you'll Jus: sting them, and then. Heaven help us.” "Right.” called back the girl. The two rafts had poled into deep water before the first hippopotamus was encountered.

It was close to the first rafn before Parker fired. The hippo ducked and came to the surface between Holt's raft and Parker’s. "Qet him?” called Holt. “I THINK so.” answered Parker "I HOPE so." shouted Holt, and then he saw what was likely to happen.
