Ketcham, commission secretary, told members of the North Side Federation of Clubs at a meeting in the Marott last night.

to a siroke of luek—is hired by Madame Lizette, proprietor of an exclusive shop. Madame proves temperamental and difficult to work for. Derek Hargreaves, young artist is interested in Gall and offers her. friendly advice. Frequently she sees Dick Searles, whose sister, Rosemary, was her roommate at school. Meanwhile, in Arizona, Mark Chapman, long a wanderer, returns to find his old home in the hands of the Travers Mining Co. Mark suspects the deal is crooked. He does not know the whereabouts of his niece, Gail, the rightful owner of the property. Rex Hall, Madame Lizette’s son, is representing the Travers company. Mark tells his friend, old Jed Hoskeer, what he knows about the Travers company and writes a letter to Giles Harding, New York lawyer. Gail spends another Derek. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN NOTHER Monday morning 4 swung around and Gail rose with a song in her heart. Shed promised to marry Derek, and the future stretched rosily ahead. They had not told any one about their engagement, preferring to keep their happiness to themselves a little longer. As she brushed her sunny hair, Gail tipped her head to one side, as though listening once again to Derek’s eager pleading. “Oh, my sweet,” he had said, “maybe I shouldn’t have spoken to you yet, for I don’t know when I'll be able to offer you the sort of home you should have.” Gail remembered how she had laughed at him, how she’d brushed aside the lock of dark hair from his forehead and said softly, “I'm no princess looking for a palace, just your Cinderella!” Then he'd held her close to his heart and covered her face with kisses while he swore he’d work night and day so that surely by fall she would be his bride. She was still smiling as she collected her mail—the precious daily letter from Derek with its delightful illustrations. No matter how often he might telephone or see her he sent her a letter every morning.

HERE was one from Dick, too. When Gail had seated herself at the table she opened Dick's letter first. A little wrinkle furrowed her forehead. He wanted her to meet him for dinner some evening later in the week. He was still in Maine, where he’d been for more than a week on some special mission for his father. Slipping the folded sheet back into the envelope, Gail opened Derek’s note. Her eyes were shining as she Yead it. Such dear, delightful nonsense! How she loved him! With a ‘light step Gail covered the few short blocks to the shop. Madame hadn't been quite so difficult lately. Perhaps that was because the “Pre-Holiday Parade” had been a success. Lots of customers had responded to the handsome invitations and several of them had left substantial orders. Of course Madame had never given Gail one éncouraging word or complimented her on the lovely designs she had made for the show. Still she had not worried and upset her. staff as much as she usually That was a lot to be thankful for! " ” 2 UT Geil could forget Madame’s lack of appreciation when she left the shop behind, especially now that Derek and she were engaged. Suddenly she gave a little gasp! She had gone to Long Beach with De€rek the day before and had not even looked at a Sunday newspaper. What would Rita Cordell think of her, she wondered. Well, she'd hunt up the newspaper and look it over when she reached the shop. Miss Carolie always had all tke Sunday newspapers on her desk. Smiling good morning to her fellow workers, Gail took off her hat and gloves. Then, as it was still early, she walked through to Miss Carolie’s office. But as'she neared the door, Madame’s shrill tones echoed all around her. Shrugging her shoulders, Gail turned back.

into the lion's mouth. Perhaps when Madame got over her spell of temier she'd §0 back—er she could | wait. until she got home in the afternoon.
Toinette. t a wonderful writeup Miss Cordell gave you!: I'm sure we'll get some new customers on the strength of that. . But, of course, you've seen it!” “No, Toinette, I haven't: 1 was out of town yesterday and I didn’t even open my newspaper “I read it, too, Miss Everett,” said Frank. “It’s just great!” The door of the room stood open and along the passage came the sound of rustling newspapers and |” angry feet. “Mees E-vereft, Mees E-verett! So this is what you do the moment my back is turned!” With a plump white hand Madame beat against the newspaper. “You think because I'm not in the office you will take my place—giving the newspaper my designs, but having that woman write a story. about you!” Her voice shook with rage. “I don’t know what you mean, Madame Lizette.” Gail was trembling, though she tried to conceal her nervousness. ia ; : ” ” ” Me I suppose you don’t read the papers?” Her voice shrilled high. “You know what I mean all right, and out ‘you go! I will not have you here one minute longer. Put your -hat on this - ment. As if you do not un stand—” Again she pointed to the paper. “What right have you to give out my designs, to tell all this?” She tapped the page fiercely. “Perhaps if you would show.me what’s upsetting you I could explain things to you,” said Gail, as it dawned on her that Madame was raving about Rita Cordell’s article. “So that’s what you think? You go and get all this publicity at my expense. - I will explain nothing. Go!” “You mean you're discharging me?” “Yes, this minute.” “Yery well, I'll go; but perhaps before I leave 1 should give you a message Miss Searles left with me.” 2.2 n AH! you keep back my messages, too?” “Well, I didn’t like to give it to you before, because I thought it might upset you, but when you called me down in the showroom the other day it was Rosemary Searles to whom I was speaking. When I met her later she told me she had come in to see about getting a frock for Miss Lang's wedding, but after the way you talked to me she said she would never dream of buying anything from you and I'm sure her friends will back her up. Good-by.” Gail left the room without glancing again at Madame whose lips were working strangely. So Therese had been right. It was the Searles’ car she had seen at the curb. ! ” » ” UTSIDE, Gail's knees felt as though they would collapse with every step she took. She'd lost her job! What could Rita Cordell have written to make Madame so angry? Gail decided to go to the newspaper office and find out. Then; what next?

O that’s what riled Madame,” Gail murmured to herself, as she read: “This young designer shows ability and unusual originality. If unhampered by the ideds of an older school, she will undoubtedly make her mark. We shall watch her progress with much interest.” A thrill of pleasure banished every memory of Madame’s unkindness, and Gail went up in the elevator to see Rita Cordell, assured that it would not be long before she would find her real place in the sun. But when she reached Miss Cordell’s office she was told “Miss Cordell is not seeing any one today. She’s sailing for Europe tonight.”

She went back to the clubhouse, for of course she must have something to show a prospective employer. She was still too excited to eat much, but after Zecting for half an hour, she rose and, dressing with great care, set off toward Broadway. : A whiff of garlic assailed her nostrils as she rode up in the elevatof, surrounded by salesmen and factory workers. Stepping from the elevator, she walked toward a leaded glass window over which was the word “Information.” “Mr Wolff? What did you want to see him about?
