tYNTHlA'S ADVENTURfi
y P. POOARTY.
Tean gathered In the erei of Cra-
hlt Thonaa m the gated down at
the little garden In the baok yard of
the hHte adjoining that In which the
coupled the smallest room on the to
floor.
Crathla was colnx away although
ahe knew of ao place to go. She had
eatea nothlag for two days, and was
haagry.
k recent Interview with her laad-
lady had not been a pleasant one
the shame of It was responsible tsr
her tears. Landladies cannot wait
more than four weeks for their room
rent, and Cynthia had not paid hers
for five. Even now there seemed no
possibility of Its being paid for Are
more weeks.
So she said good by to the little
garden and looked about her room la
vain for something sho could pawn.
There was nothing left nothing but
her clothes, and those she must keep
so that she might look respectable
even If the river had to be the solu
tlon of her problem.
During the first few weeks after she
had loBt her position on the News Cyn
thia bad rather enjoyed the experi
ence of "hard luck." It had broad
ened her, developed her Insight Into
life, sho thought. Hut the endless
round of visits to city editors, asking
for a job, then tho search for any
klad of work ended fruitlessly, her
money gone, and that curious gnaw
ing sensation, with a lightheaded
falntnesB, was an entirely different
matter.
Blindly sho walked down Droadway.
stumbling as she crossed the Inter
secting streets. Presently she met
the eyes of a handsome, well-dressed
young man, a stranger, who lifted his
hat with a smiling "Oood evening."
"Good evening," said Cynthia, be
fore she was really aware what had
occurred.
"May I ask where you are coiner"
politely Inquired the stranger.
"I'm going to dinner," she aa
aounced firmly, with her head held
proudly erect.
"May I beg that you will Uke pity
es me and dine with meT" asked the
man as he stood In front of her, hat In
hand. "I am a stranger In the city
and lonely. I aak you to grant my
request, as a beggar would ask for
alms. Won't you give me the pleasure
ef your company for an hour while wo
dine?"
Cynthia looked him squarely In tho
eyes eyes that mot hers with frank
straightforwardness. "Thank you."
she stild with quiet dignity. "I will
dine with you with pleasure. I have
not dined for two days."
Ho looked at her with a start and
his eyes read the truth In tho face
before him. Quickly he guldod her
to a quiet restaurant not very far
away, where they found a tablo for
two near an open window.
For two hours they chatted pleas
antly, lingering over tho dinner.
Cynthia liked the man. They were
eongenlal companions. If only she
had met him In another way. She
could not continue an acquaintance
formed thus.
"What shall wo do next?" ho In
quired cheerfully. "It's too hot for
the theater. Shall we take a drive
by the river side? It's early and we
can be back by ten If you wish."
This proposition fitted In with her
half-formed plan; so she agreed.
"I will wait In the reception room
while you order the taxi," she mur
mured; but aa soon aa she saw him
disappear down the corridor she
hastily scribbled a note at the writ
ing tablo and gave It to the maid,
with Instructions to hand It to the
gentleman when he returned.
"You have probably saved my life.
Thank you and goodby." It read.
The next mluute pedestrians on
Thirty-fifth street wero amazed at the
sight of a stylishly gowned young
woman running swiftly along that
quiet thoroughfare.
Was It fate that sent her directly
Into tho arms of Mrs. ForbcB, the so
ciety editor on the Star, and tho one
woman In all New York that Bho know
at all well.
"Cynthia, child, whatever Is the
trouble?" asked that kind soul, as she
caught tho excited j?lrl by the arm
and faced her about In the direction
she was going.
"Oh, Mrs. Forbes, they told me you
were out of town."
I was. Just got back an hour ago."
Then between little gasps of laughter
and tears, Cynthia told her story to
the sympathetic woman by her side.
"You are to stay with me tonight,
Cynthia; and tomorrow I'll Introduce
you to our managing editor. He Is
looking for some ono to report wom
en club news, and I'm sure you can
land the Job. At any rate, we'll try."
"Now you must get to bed. You are
all worn out and nervous," continued
the motherly little woman, as she led
the way up the steps of an apartment
house where her own rooms were the
daintiest and coziest In the building.
In her dreams Cynthia saw the gray
eyes of her dinner companion and
wondered If ever again sho would look
Into their kindly depths.

layman, "from the Dook of Nature. It
