she eonld write that she had a well
paying petition o the metropolis
She Installed her invalid moth***
with a relative, in the suburbs, who
promised to look after the loneL
woman until Amy could send for her
Then, with a pitifully small sum of
money In her pocket, the girl set
forth gallantly to seek her fortune.
And the mighty city swallowed her.
Nearly three months passed before
Jock McCall could gain any Inkling
as to what had befallen the girl he
loved so dearly. A rush order at the
mill kept him at work, both day and
evening, for a fortnight or more,
after be got Amy the job at Peter
Jordan's mill. So he was not able
to call on her.
Ob his first free evening, he has
tened to the tiny flat where she and
her mother lived. There tfrom a
greaay and unbellevaoly fat janl
trets. who smelled of bad whisky),
be learned that Amy and Mrs. Pren
tice had left on the preceding day.
They had left an address whither
mail might be sent. But the jani
tresa, unfortunately, had lost the bit
of oaper on which Amy had written
it. And she had not bothered to
memoriae either the itreet or the
number.
Jock, in determination, spent every
evening roaming the streets on th*
chance of catching a glimpse of the
girl He made inquiries everywhere.
But as he knew none of her family
friends, even by name, hl« question?
availed him nothing at all.
He settled down to a sullen mis
ery, yearring unspeakably for sight
or word of Amy. He did his work
doggedly. And daily his resentment
against his father grew hotter and
hotter.
So matters stood, late one after
noon, when he was leaving the mill
tor the day. A group of girls were
passing out of the employes’ en
trance just ahead of him. Unaware
of his presence, they were talking
and langhing loudly. Presently, a
few words caught his ear and roused
him la an Instant from spiritless
glimasss to feverish interest. A girl
ahead of him was saying to another.
"—And who do you a’poae it was?
Why Amy Prentice! You remember
her? Bbe—”
The girl broke off with a cry of
astonishment, as Jock McCall grip
ped her shoulder and swung her
around.
“Tell me!” he ordered, his voice
harsh with excitement. “Tell me
about Amy Prentide! Where is
sber
btanuuertd the scared girl. "I wa*
only telling Lulotte, sir. ihai my sis
ter was in New York, yesterday, and
xhe saw Amy Prentice, a girl who
used to work here. That's all I -aid.
Mr. McCall.'
.‘•Where did *he see her? 1* Miss
Prentice living in New York?
'Whereabouts?” persisted Jcck.
My bi.-ter don’t know where she
lives, there,hesitated the girl, "she
Just met her coming out of a theater.
And she asked Vniv, ’Don't you re
member mo?” and Amy looked kind
of embarrassed like anu suid "Yes.'
And ray sitter asked her Are you
living in New York, now?* Amy said
yea she was. And then they got
rvtparated in the crowd that wa-*
. otuing out of the theater."
Jock waited for no more. He
started for home, on a run. His
heart was beating high, with the
flrwt hope that had entered it for
months.
Not until he hau almost reached
the house, did it occur to him that
the tnillglil had spoken with an odd
reluctance and had teemed 'o be
carefully holding back some son of
informatlcn. But Jock dismissed this
fancy as absurd He was in no mood
to ponder over trifle.-, now that the
end of his long quest wa.- perhaps in
sight.
Before his informant bad flni*hed
speaking, bis plan 4iad teen formed.
On the morrow he would go to New
York. He would search high and
low. He would hire detectives, if
need be. He would visit every em
ployment agency, every factory,
every big store. for news of her. He
would find her. He must find her.
One thought consoled him-—Amy
could uot be in actual want or she
could not have afforded to visit a
theater. And the mill girl's sister
had seen her coming out of one.
Jock’s campaign required money.
Without money he could do nothing
Straight to hi? fatner he went, on
entering the house.
"1 have come to a?k jou lor sjoo."sjoo."
he said abruptly. "It L a matter of
life-or-death for me. Will you let
me have it? For heaven's sake, ?ir,
don’t refuse! It means everything!
Everything"*
Jeremiah M Call looked up coldly
from the paper he wa? reading.
"Have you gone daft?” he queried
sourly. "Five hunnred dollar-' Not
five hundred pennies shall you have
to throw sway on some new light o'
love. That's final. When you calm
down, you can come in to dinner."
Jock M'Call stood very still, for
an Instant. And in tho instant, his
whole life changed. Jeremiah M’Call
had strained his son’s principle? once
too often. Without a word the lad
turned and left the home.
At nervous speed, he retracted his
way to the mill. Nodding to the
watchman, he strode tnrough the
empty building until he reached hi?
father** office.
Walking directly to the safe, he
twirled the knobs. Presently there
was a elhk and the Iron doors swung
wide. On a shelf lava packet of
money he had collect* 1 for bis fath-

er. from a customer-lirui. that dav.
From the pile he counted out what
he needed, pocketed it and closed
the safe door.
Then, sitt ng at the desk, he
scrawled cn a loos* sheet of paper.
“Father;
