I'THAT first payment of black mail to Mrs. Symes markec active beginning of the mos iwretched period in Cora John ton's life. She continued on her well itrodden path, the school by day (the few activities she was accus Itomed to engage in after schoo 'hours, the boarding house and Iher room by night. But very soon after Mrs.

Symes' first extortion it seemed to her that everything the did was characterized by a kind of. nervous furtiveness. She felt as if she walked in a ttate of abiding fear and trem- blmg, plagued constantly by a desire to glance hastily over her shoulder, lest an invisible axe fall when she wasn't looking. Simultaneously she grew increasingly anxious to avoid people to get off by herself. Unhealthy as she knew this to be, she did it whenever possible.

For this reason she kept her tame room although with the toll Mrs. Symes exacted, sound economics no longer justified it. She was unable to save any money now and the big room wai a wild extravagance. But It wat alto her sole consolation. She formed the habit of being scrupulously on time for dinner, slipping into her place the moment the dining, room doon opened, eating a quick meal and then retiring to the blened privacy above.

Wrong, she realized. Vw wrong. But it wai all the wanted to do. The shoe workers noted a change in her. Fortunntely, being neither penelrstini nor tt Johnson, it made little impression on them.

They merely said, be hind her back, that "it isn't an fun kiddin' the schoolmarm thes days. Guess she must be gettin used to don't even blus no more, half the time." One master of language, risin to heights, stated that "ribbin the schoolmarm was gettin' liki kickin' a dead horse around." Had Miss Johnson known abou these reactions, she might have drawn a slim comfort from the fact that she had become unsat isfactory as a target of jest. Bu she did not Know. And to hei the shoe men were the tame loud-talking, bad-mannered crew they had always been and she inwardly shrank from them, as from an ever-present menace She was haunted continually bj the thought of their uninhibitec hilarity, should her dreadful ae cret ever come out. A thousand times she cattigatec herself for weakness.

It was absurd, insane, to be forced into intolerable position because of the fear of ridicule and the a Ik of the town. But a thousand times she was driven back to the same hopeless certainty. That and no getting around it, was irecisely what she did fear. She lad'to be, she always concluded honest with Mrs. Copeland likewise remarked a change.

Bui he spoke her mind, with maternal severity, straight to Miss Johnson's face. "Is there anything wrong with 'ou, honey?" the asked anxiout- y. "You don't eat enough to a bird alive and you spend too much time moping upttalrt." Mist Johnson laughed, striving or nonchalance. "Why, no, Mn. Copeland.

There's nothing wrong. And I really don't mope. It's just hat they've given larger Inss this year. More work." Thit Uti. Copeiaad,) not notably acute.

But it warned Johnson. From the beginning she had tried to conceal her worry, absolutely. She seemed, however, to have sUpped a little. She took to correct Never Mghthearted or llght- spoken, ahe nonetheless attempted to cultivate lightheartedness and lightness of speech. Summoning spurious blandness, she whipped herself up to face people, both at home and around the town.

She tried not to downstairt when clock lore- told the imminent opening of the dining room; essayed, instead, to enter this festive apartment after the meal was well started, with a species of insouciant dignity. She took to lingering at table, when every instinct urged her to push back her chair and run away, making rather pathetic efforts at bandying words with the shoe fraternity. Here, though, she out of her depth. Her she believed, were called her pale pink and ineffectual even to her. gUT, hi any case, the made an effort.

And the thoe men were generally And ince Mrs. Copeland said nothing more, she felt that the had managed to establish a toe-hold on solid ground again. School wai a different story. There she could hot evade con- acU. And there, perforce, she pent the greater part of her day.

During those hours it required a greater effort to preaerve equa- imity. She wai not always tuc- essful. "Say," the flighty Mint )illon to Mrs. Hart, as they left ogethcr one afternoon, "whst'a with Cora? I asked her a per- ectly simple question and she bout snapped my head off. She seems nervous at witch aow- days." Mrs.

Hart, older and much- married, had plausible ax- baation. "Well, of course, my ear. She she's 3t.
