TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, A I I A 1 She Swims to Conquer 1 By Eleanor 1130. by Cintril AiucUtltA. Int. Kitty Wilniot, crack swimmer and experienced stenographer, leaves ler home to go to the city to earn her living and be "free." A fine girl, otherwise, Kitty is opinionated she makes up her mind quickly; she is "always Hght." Is the Natatorium Bahy Ayers and Atlee Wainrighi, in- 1 goes to the Ayers apartment for dinner, where she meets Patty Hemming and Bert Croyden, also Sally, Baby's Junoesque sister. There is talk of Gordon Platt, whom Atlee doesn't like.

Atlee promises to help her get a job on Monday. After a merry dinner Atlee takes her home and to her consternation --becauae she likes it--kisses her good night. (Now Go On With the Story) CHAPTER 5 As always, Kitty made up htr mind swiftly about tho offices of Ellery Goss. She was on hand promptly at nine, Monday morning. Tho offices were extensive; Mr.

Goss must be wealthy and successful. The clerks were extremely busy; probably the office was understaffed. A highly rouged and lip-sticked blond girl at the phono desk in the reception hall was pretty, in spite of flaming red georgette dvcss. A tall girl ill the next room diTssctt iu sombre brown crepe, seen through an open door, had nu sphinx-like look; Kitty wasn't sure she would like her if she got the Of course, she, might not get it--but if speed could secure it, Kitty was not worried- light out!" The 'phono girl looked "Mr. Wainright Hays he'll be at her appraisingly.

"Thank youl" Kitty turned on i dimple. "You nre very deft i those cords and plugs--" Tho painted girl turned to look at her again, surprised. "Say, I like youl" she announced suddenly. "Take a tip from Hilda! If you want a job with old Goss, don't be afraid him. He's got the manners of a well brought up hog, but he's alt Bright! Don't be scared of him-' number please?" A.tlee Wninright came from the inner office and put out his hand.

Kitty expected to be embarrassed; fo meet in this way a man who had kissed her breathless on acquaintance of twelve hours seemed difficult. But Mr. Wainright, although his eyes said "you darling," seemed all business, after his greeting. "Only nine showed up. You make ten.

Got everything you Book? Pencil? Plenty of nerve? You are sure you arc good? Come'this way!" lie led her through a hallway past half a dozen doors iuto a large f-austercly furnished room. It. reminded Kitty of the directors' room in the Hillerton bank, only il was bigger. A great glass lopped a a dozen chairs iu nine oi' which sat girls, a high black iniirlile mantel over an obviously never-used fire place, heavy ctir- i at the windows, a carpet wth deep blue pile; formality, luxury, wealth, silence, secrecy, radiated from the room. "Ladies, will you please get your books aud pencils ready? Mr.

Goss will be here in a moment or two. He will dictate to you-Good morning, Mr. Goss. They lire ready!" Kitty had barely time to seat herself and give one look at the queer figure "which stood in the doorway. She saw a small man with a huge head, a saturinc, cross, thin-lipped face, a stoop that was almost a hump.

He was very well dressed, but not neat--his bushy gray hair apparently had not been combed. An obviously expensive tie was pulled partly au'jiy from his collar. "Get busy!" I-'rom a letter in his hand be began to dictate, in sharp, staccato sentences, barking, Kitty thought, rather than speaking. His verbs cracked fire craeker.s, his nouns were Carolina Woman Lost 47 Lk pistol shots. Enunciation was ul- i most perfect, but it was i'nst work.

MS her pen flew, at more than two 1 Kitty estimated it, unconsciously, hundred words per minute. He dictated i'or ten minutes. "Any or! you who can't transcribe that in thirty minutes, get out!" lie barked and left tho room. Atlcc led the way ugain to an- other room, filled with girls work- Ing at typewriters. "Take your work out, put eight sheets of plain paper on your desks and vacate your chairs!" Alice "Speed lost, for Mr.

No one answered. Kitty could see that this office obeyed orders! The girls did as they were bid. Those who were taking the test seated themselves. Kitty had no trouble; although fast the dictation had been clear, and she did not know what it was not to read her own notes as it' they were printed. She finished her transcription in twenty-four minutes (somewhat better than eighty-five words a i on the machine) and handed it to Atlcc.

Four other girls finished within the time limit. With these Kitfy went back to the "directors' room." Mr. Goss reappeared. This time he dictated at; speed Kitty had hardly believed possible for a humuii being to talk. But he only talked two minutes.

Kitty got it, not by keeping up, but by following and remembering. Had the dictation been a minute longer slio must have faiJed. Only, one other said she had succeeded. "Two of you? I don't believe it! Read it to me," Mr. Goss demanded of the other woman.

She was a pale, washed out little figure of perhaps thirty-five, gowned in an. printed crepe. She fluttered tho pages of her note book nevvonsly. "Don't do that! Read!" he demanded. "You got a voice, haven't you?" The pale woman begun to read, rather slowly.

Kitty was sure the hesitation was from fright. Half, way through he interrupted her. "Too slow! Speak up, caii't you 1 It. was less what he said than the way he said it. Kitty rose rather disgustedly.

"Sit down, you!" The command was like the crack of a whip. Kitty looked at bim. plucidly. "Do look like that to you, Mr. Goss?" She inquired pleasantly, "Good morning!" "I said, sit down!" I don't wish lo sit down.

I (ion'i. cure to work in place where personal courage is ol! more account than skill! My dear," she turned to the white faced girl, "don't be frightened. You got it, all right. Read it to him just as he read it to you--it! you still want I ho job--" A hearty hiuch interrupted her. She whirled in surprise; Goss had given no symptom of humor.

Brit hi.s face was a sneer. "Seared yourself, aren 't you! Couldn't make, ii, could A right, don't sit!" "Oh, I got it!" declared Kitty. way pushed, hut 1 got, it!" "Don't believe it! Too fast for any girl!" Kitty walked towards him, her book in her hand. She read him back his dictation ns fast as he had shot it at her. "Believe it now Mr.

Goss? Well, got it as well as I. Only she is afraid of you, because you have no manners. am not. Good morning--" "Sit down, both ol: you! You arc both hired! You--" he pointed to Kitty, "be in my private office in fifteen minutes, sharp. Wainright.

"No!" whisprrrd the girl. "I'm afraid not. You sec, I didn't get it--" "Well, don't tell him--here! Quick now--before Mr.

Girls don't often--" Kitty looked into the deep pools of eyes, wondering how any one dared to call this beautiful, large, placid, peaceful person "cowlike." In that look in which Kitty read a simple and unselfish joy at her success began a friendship which was to last. (TO BE CONTINUED) Camden PLAN PLAYS AT PREBLE FAIR Special To Tlic Juiirnnl.

1 There is only one way to get corn flakes like Kellogg's upon CORN FLAKES BECAUSE Kellogg's Corn flakes are the inbst popular readj-i to-cat cereal in the world, they have been imitated. Sometimes these imitations are offered you as "just like Kcllogg's." Such statements are false. Here's whyi --No other corn flakes have ever duplicated the matchless Kellogg flavor. --No other has the same crisp, crackly Hakes. --None can have the patented inner-seal waxtite wrapper that keeps Kellogg's always oven-fresh.

These are reasons why more people prefer Kellogg's than all other corn flakes combined. They have won this popularity--not because they were the first cornflakes--but because they are the best liked cornflakes'. Insist upon genuine Kellogg's. Enjoy them for breakfast or lunch these hot days. A wonderfully cooling dish with milk or cream--fresh or canned fruits added.

Also fine for the children's evening meal. They are so light aud easy to digest. At all grocers--in the familiar red-and- CORN FLAKE? green package. IMPORTANT: Kellogg makes only one brand of com flakes. Any others offered to you witli the statement "they are made by misrepresented.
