THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1921 Wholesale Distributors Hope By GRACE UPTON ((E) JV21. by McClure Nownpupwr HymilcutB ) Hope Gordon moiinlcil the third flight of Btnlrs In her mint's hoarding house and carried the carpet sweeper loto the “third Moor front" room. This room was occupied hy Mr. Archibald McPhee, floorwalker In a department store, and Hope always smiled a little os she tidied up the room. II was typical of Mr. McPhee, with Its ux pensive silver toilet set spread oA the dresser, Its cut-glass bottles of per fumes and toilet waler, Its gold-framed pictures of rich-looking people wearing handsome dollies and showy Jewelry, Its rpek of ruin-how lined neckwear— a scarf for every day la the your and a few over—Its wnrdrobe tilled with costly clothes- "Poor Mr. Harrison I" sighed Hope, for she was thinking about the occu pant of the hull room at the rear, Then sho pulled down the window shades to the proper place, -left a window open Just a little to keep the olr nt the proper temperature, and left the room. The hall room came next. She looked at the narrow while Iron hedsteud with the lied neatly made up, at the white wushstand In the corner with two or three things In order—the scantily-furnished dress er, the nlmost-empty wardrobe—the poverty of It all. "t hope ho can find n position to day," sho sighed, for she knew that the pule grim fuce was growing paler every day, and that Ills board hill wns creeping up. Her aunt had not said anything yet, and the girl hoped she would not, hut coal bills were .high, “Do What?" She Faltered. and It wits creeping toward the new year. •Torhnps Mr. McPhee .will get him a plnce In the store," she thought. "I know he wants to he a newspaper man, but—oh, dear—” she stopped and stared at a new picture tin .lint Har rison's dresser. A large photograph of n pretty girl, a really nice girl with a charming smile. Across one cor ner was written In a dashing hand: "Come buck for my sake, Jimmy 1" That sentence rang In Hope's ears the rest of the day. She could not ent nml her lovely face grew" pale and worried, for In her heart of hearts she loved Jltutuy Harrison—and there was another girl who wanted him to ' SStne bQSjf. Could he resist that ap peal? He finite In to dinner that night looking white and grim as usual. He was late and so wns Mr. McPhee and the two men nlo atone. Hope went In and out watting upon them, for It was Maggie's evening oft. “Made any connection yet?" asked McPhee genially as he ate Ills soup. “No," nnsweretl Jimmy Harrison, “Afraid this Is a bad time, for I don't teem to lit Into anything." "Got any friends—any pull?" “Nothing, but some letters from home folks In the West." McPhee," she said, but her heart wns sore. It gave a sudden Jump when Jimmy Hurrlson came out of the din ing room ntel stopped In front of tier looking down ut Iter with a very strange expression In Ills gray eyes. "Miss Hope, did you put McPhee up to giving me a Job?" lie asked. She nodded through Iter tears. "Why?" Jle didn't seem angry at all, In spite of tils pride. "Well, I (bought It would be nice for you to start off Hie new year right —and then—there's the girl In ibe picture—you can muke good before her," she stammered. “What girl—oh—you hove seen It? And. so—" Ho reddened, and with nnolher muttered word of iluniks he dushed up the stairs whistling like a blackbird, Hope bowed her sunny head and cried. ' Christmas came mid went, with box es of candy and (lowers for Hope and her limit from Mr. McPhee and Jimmy Jlarrlson. The laller went to busi ness every day with Mr. McPhee and he was making good, very good. In deed. The anxious frown left Ids conn Iona nee ns he paid Mrs. Wlnno I he board money he owed, and Christ mas, looming lie had appeared tu a new suit of dollies, looking very hand some mill Imppy. As his spirits soared, poor Hope's weal down. •She tried to he unselllsh and look forward lo the New Year with a hope ful licarl. hut ulwnys before her iJiere wns a picture or Jimmy's happy face and I lie sweet smile of the unknown girl who warned Jimmy to come hack for her saku. The llrHl of the year dawned a cold, brilliant day, There were only a few people nt the hreukfust tuble that morning, for most of the hoarders were away for the holiday. Hope Cor don and her aunt sat alone ut. the table, when suddenly Jimmy Harrison came In flushed and handsome. “Happy New Year 1” they all cried In nnison, and Jimmy sat down, an nouncing that he was as hungry as a hunter. "I will see about sape hot cokes for you,” snld hospitable Mrs. Wlnne ns she hustled nwuy, leaving Jimmy and Hope alone. He lenned over and look her hand In both of his lurge, capable ones, “Hope," he asked grave ly, "why did you do It?" "Do what?" she faltered. "Get me a position—and you know- put n few books and magazines In my room when I most needed them—a newspaper full of want ads, urge me to get ahead and linve faith In me when I had lost It myself." H<5 wns looking very grave now. Hope hung her head. “I don't kuow —you needed encouragement. I thought you wanted to go buck and couldn't.—" "All those reasons," he asked gently. "That. Is enough, and I must go mid help Aunt Hassle—” "1 need you most—I need you al ways, Hope—Hope for the future— forever—lei me begin, the new year wit It Hope, dear!" •‘Mill the girl In (he picture—" she wavered. “The best sister lu the world, as you will Mail out some duy," he cried' tri umphantly.

Hope fled blushlug Into the front sit- ng room, where she hid her face behind n newspaper. What had she idone? She did not kuow much nbout Jimmy Harrison and here she was (championing Ills cause, lindlug a po sition for him through Mr. McPhee, all because she had learned to love him—"and probably he doesn’t know tae from Maggie," was her agonising thought. But Mr. McPhee rushed through his dluner because he had a theater en gngement, and os be passed through the sitting room he winked at Hope, "Landed him. didn't 1?" lie whispered boeraely. i Hope nodded. “So good of yen, Mr. MORE LIGHT, MORE PLEASURE Tests of Theatrical Audiences Proof That Out.of.Door Life Is Bene- flclal tq AM.
