Because step-ins have a nice, peaceful influence over the hijv Unen — and are so easy to put oo — many women constantly demand them. For the average figure Gossard designs the step-in shown here. The special waist line design smooths eacess flesh; a skillful combination of brocade and elastic give the straight firm lines of the modern mode. Light bones give additional support at the back and over the diaphragm. Model 517, $5.00,

I turned away, crestfallen and smarting. When I told the other boys they were indignant and a good deal alarmed on their own account. I made my case against the Company as damning as I could, then, slinging my blankets on my back, set off once

I was gaining in experience, and ) I hurried down the canyon and the morning burgeoned like a rose, my spirits mounted invincibly. It was the joy of the open road and the care-free heart. So as I made speed to get the sooner to the orange groves 1 almost set heel on a large blue envelope which lay face up on the trail. I examined it and finding it contained plans and specifications of the work we haq been at, I put it in my

pocket.

Presently came a rider who reined up by me. "Say, young man, you haven't seen a blue envelope, have you?”

"Hap, young mun. you fiaren't seen a blue envelope, fiats yuut” Something In the man's manner aroused in me instant resentment ’'No," I said sourly, and, going on my way, heard him clattering up the canyon. It was about evening when I came onto a fine large plain. Behind me was the canyon, gloomy like the lair of somo. evil beast, while before me the sun’was setting and made Uie valley like a sea of golden glaze. As I entered the town my spirits fell. I remembered 1 was quite without money and had not yet learned to be gracefully penniless. However. I bethought me of the tunecheque. and entering a saloon asked the proprietor If he would cash it. He was a German of jovial fare that seemed to say; "Welcome, my friend,” and cold, beady eyes that queried: “How much esn i get of your wad?” “No, 1 don’ touch dot I haf before been schvindled. Hirnmel, no! You take him avuy.” I sank into a chair. Catching a glimpse of my face tn a bar mirror, I wondered if that hollow-cheeked, weary-looking lad wa* I. The place was crowded with revellers of the Christmastide, and geese were being diced for. I drowsed quietly. Wafts of barfront conversation came to me. “Enwlope . . . lost plans great delay.” Suddenly I sat up. remembering the package 1 had found. “Were you looking for some lost plans?" I asked. “Yes," said one man eagerly, “did you find them'”’ "I didn't say I did. but If I could get them for you, would you cash this time-cheque for me?” “Sure,” he says, "one good turn deserves another. Deliver the goods ami ill cash your time-cheque ” His face was frank and jovial I drew out the envelope and handed it over. He hurriedly ran through the contents and saw that all were there “Ha! That saves a trip to 'Frisco,” he said, gay with relief. He turned to the bar and ordered a round of drinks They all had n drink on him. while he seemed to forget about me. I waited a little, then pressed forward with my time cheque. “Oh that," said he, “I won't cash that. I was only joshing " A feeling of bitter anger welled up within me. I trembled liks a leaf. ''You won't go back on your word?” I said. He became flustered. "Well, I can't do it anyway. I've got no loose cash ” What I would have said or done I know not, for I was nigh desperate but at this moment the stage-driver, flushed with his victory at freeze out, snatched the paper from my hand. "Here, I'll discount that for you. I'll only give you five dollars for it, though.'' It called for fourteen, but by this time I was so discouraged I gladly accepted the five-dollar gold-piece he held out to tempt me. Thus were my fortunes restored. It was near midnight and I asked the German for a room He replied that he was full up, but as 1 had my blankets there was a nice dry shed at the bark. Alas' it was also used by his chickens They roosted just over my head, and I lay on the fUthy floor ».t tba marev of Inmunar-

Los Angeles will always be writ ten in golden letters in the archive.' of my memory. Crawling, sore am sullen, from the clutch of toil, revelled in the lotus life of ease ant idleness. There was infinite sun shine, and the quiet of a public library through whose open windowi • ame the fragrance of magnolias Living was incredibly cheap Foi seventy-five cents a week 1 had a little sunlit attic, and for ten cent) I could dine abundantly. There wa» soup, fish, meat, vegetables, salad, pudding and a bottle of wine. St reading, dreaming ami roaming tht streets. I spent my days in a stat« of beatitude. At last the morning came whet twenty-five cents was all that re mained to me in the world. I hao just been seeking a position as t dish-washer, and had been rathe) sourly rejected. Sitting solitary or the bench in that dreary place, j soliloquized. At that moment the clerk wrote: 1 "Man Wanted to Carry Banner" i “How much do you want for thsf job?” I asked. "Oh, (wo bits will hold you, he sai< carelessly. "Any experience required? 1 * X asked

again.

"No, I guess even you’ll do fo» that," ho answered cuttingly. So I parted with my last quartel and was sent to a store in Broadway, Here I was given a vociferous ban-

ner to carry.

Wit this hoisted I sallied forth, : first very conscious and not a little ashamed. Yet by and by this feeling wore off. I might have gone I through the day in this blissful coma of indifference had not a casual glance at my banner (hrilled m» with horror. There it was in hideous, naked letters of red:

“Retiring Sale”

I reoh-il under the shock. I did not mind parking a banner, but a mls-

| spelt one . . .

I hurried back to the store, resolved to throw up my position. Luckily the day was well advanced, and as I had served my purpose I

was given a silver dollar.

On this dollar I lived for a mont'i In the the first place I told the o'.d lady who rented mo try room that I could not pay her until I got wo-k and gave her my blankets os jccurity. There remained only tie problem of food. This 1 solved hy buying every day or so five cento’ worth of stale bread, which I a c io my room, washing i* down with pure spring water. A little imagination and lo! my bread was beef, my w ater wine. Thus breakfast and dinner. For aupi er there was the 1’acifig Gospel Hall, where we gathered nightly one hundred strong, bawled hymns, listened to sundry good people and presently were given mugs

of coffee and chunks of bread.

At the end of the third week I got work as an orange-picker. It was a matter of swinging long ladders into fruit-flaunting trees, of sunshiny days and fluttering leaves, of golden branches plundered, and boxes filled from sagging sacks. There is no more Ideal occupation. I revelled in it The others were Mexicans: I wa* "FI Gringo." But on tin average I only made fifty rents a day. On one day when the fruit was unusually

large, I made seventy cents.

Possibly I would have gone on, contentedly enough, perched on a ladder high up in the sunlit awav of treetops, had not the work come to an end. T had been something of a financier on a pics;,nine scale, and when I counted my savings and found that I had four hundred and ninety-five rents, such a feeling of affluence came over mo that I resolved to gratify my taste for travel Aeeordine'y I purehased a ticket for Ran Diego, and once more found myself southward bound A few days In San Diego reduced my small capital to the vanishing point, yet it was wph a light heart I turned north again and took the AJl-Tio route for I.os Angeles. If one of the alluring conditions of a walking tour is not to be overburdened with cash surely I fulfilled It. for I was absolutely penniless. The Isird looks after his ehildren, said T, and when I became too inexorably hungry I asked for bread, emphasizing my willingness to do n stunt on the woodpile. Perhaps it was because I was young and notably a novice in vagrancy, but people were

very good to me.

Leaving the sea, I came to a country of grass and she-oaks very prettt to see, like an English park. I passed horrible tule swamps, and reached a cattle land with corrals and solitary cowboys. There was a qusln*. old Spanish Mission that lingcra ir. my memory. Then once again » came into the land of th» orangegroves and the irrigating ditch.
