CHAPTER XVIII

The morning were on slowly. Galo worked mechanically, wishing her hend would stop feeling the way it did, wishing the room wasn't so warm or so noisy, wishing that just for ono minute she could sink down in chair and lean back and close her oyos and forget the flying spindles,

"It would't have done any good, she thought, "to tell Fisher about Father being sick,"

No, it wouldn't have done any good. And she couldn't be late again--not after that threat. It made her job acom unusually precious-the thought that she might lose it—and Gale bent and snapped off a bobbin, her hands moving swiftly in spite of the acho in her shoulders.

Sho couldn't afford to lose her Job

When lunch time came instead of going to the cafeteria she went into the wash room where there was an old couch against one of the walls. It was back in the shadows and Galo laid down on it and pressed her fin- gers over her eyes.

Her head felt as though something were pushing down on it. It had felt that way nil morning. She wasn't Hleepy now, but there were pains like Hittle knife-jabs in her arms and in her shoulders. She turned restlessly and wondered if Mrs. O'Connor had

But it was hard for a man like her father to feel himself so useless. It would have been hard, even if he hadn't known how little money there was, how she and Phil had to work and save to pay for their food and rent and living expenses,

The other amtled. "Good!" she sald. "I thought you would. I'll let you know just as soon as I hear any thing. Remember, though, don't say a word about it to anyonej"
