Hannah
Marvin's Job
•fj Why She Gave It Up 4
— i
j.
| By REINETTE LOVEWELL j
I Copyright by Frank A. Alunsey Co. „{.
Hanuab Marvin's haggard eyes were
fixed upon the illuminated text of e
small framed motto on the wall at her
left, "When the Outlook Is Not Good
Try the Uplook."
A s she read her wide mouth sot it
self in a line of bitterness, and she
turned away disgustedly.
The waiting room of the Remwood
Typewriter Employment agency was
badly congested. (3 roups of girls were
chattering together in the humid heat
Llantinh was nn "old girl." The
term was used In the odlee, with dis
respect, solely because it was descrip
tive. It was abbreviated into "O. G.,"
and Hanuab had caught a glimpse of
these Initials on her registration card
and with a chill of heart guessed their
meaning
A newcomer interrupted her thoughts
by sitting down quite close beside her.
Hannah turned toward her with un
disguised annoyance, but ber sharp
glance became a steady stare.
The girl beside her wore a plain
little gowu of green checked gingham,
and the pink flush on her face was so
lovely and so natural a coloring that
Hannah's eyes, long accustomed to
powdered cheeks, rested upon it In
credulously, dropping finally to the ex
quislte line of a full white throat.
The girl turned to her and spoke
"What do vou have to do to got
work here—show your recommendd
tlons?" she asked.
Recommendations hero don't mean
much," Hannah answered sharply
"The best arKument you can put up ts
the price you've worked for und how
much experience you've had."
"I've worked « year." the girl an
swered.
"Here In New VorkV* Hannah ques
tioned.
"No—up state."
"Can you read your notes?" Hannah
asked practically.
"1 certainly can." the girl came back
with a confidence that surprised her
questioner.
"Well, you ought to get something."
she encouraged, "Better go up and
shove those fresu kids away and talk
right up to the manager. How'd you
happen to come down to the city?"
Bannah Inquired.
"Oh. I just wanted to get a better
chance. 1 got awfully tired of living
In I.ymansville. I've been here only a
week, but"—
She stopped hesitatingly.
"Oh. I don't know." she finished.
■These girls seem awfully different
some way And they don't look well
They are so thin and"
"They don't eat enough or sleep
enough." Hannah interrupted.
A week passed. By some unworded
understanding Hannah and the up
state girl sat together in the waiting
room each day
Neither was sent out. und Hannah
realizing how low were Iter own re
sources, forced her way one morning
to the front and demanded the reason
why she couldn't get work.
The manager answered her outburst
gently.
"You see. Miss Marvin." she said,
"we have very few calls that require
your experience, so many offices want
to get very young g!-ls and break them
in at a low rate."
Hannah sniffed with comprehension.
"1 know I'm old," she said bluntly,
"but I can get out the work"—
Tbe eyes of the manager showed
sympathetic understanding.
"I'm sure you can." she said kindly.
"And we are bound to have a call be
fore long for some one of your expe
rience."
Ilannnh went back to her seat and
thought about her experience with bit
ter recollection.
1 he girl from up state was reading a
letter from home, and her face, which
| had grown pale and a little thin, was
again rosily flushed. She turned
dreamy eyes toward Hannah inquir
ingly and then let them go back to
the bold handwriting on the sheets she
held.
Hannah continued to think about her
"experience."
Only the night before she had found,
quite by accident, an old photograph of
herself taken when she had first come
to New York, twenty years before.
She had studied it long and curiously
uutil she burned with bitterness.
Beauty she had never possessed, but
she had been vivacious, joyou/and
"smart." In those days her father had
been prosperous, and there wis tK>
need for her to toll, it was then that
she had met. loved and promised to
marry Allen Morehouse. Three months
the engagement had lasted.
Sitting on the hard agency bench
I twenty years later. Hannah Marvin
felt flame up within her the scorching
anger of her girlhood as she remember
ed her discovery of the life young
Morehouse was leading, the quarrel
that eusued and the heartless words
he had spoken to her as he faced her
accusations
After that there had been scarcely a
rift In the storm clouds. Her father
financially wrecked, had died and left
his daughter to earn her living as she
could She had tried the shorthand
and typewriting route then just be
coming popular1, and sbe had gone forth
to b»tUt\ unsmiling, silent, working
her way for lier <lnlly bread with re
j lentless zeal.
I A dill from tlic manager summoned
Hannah forward at last, and sbo went,
resentfully conscious of the curious
glances the other girls cast toward her.
'Tlere's a position. Miss Marvin, I
thiuU you could till," the woman bo*
bind the railing said. "It's a fifteen
dollar a week place and very good peo
I pie. Will you go ami see about it?"
' A strange seusation of gratitude
came to Baunab. and a smile appeared
on her face. It seemed to the mana
ger to be almost transfiguring.
"I'll go." she answered. "I guess I
can get out work that will suit them,**
The manager smiled. "Good luck,"
she said.
An hour later Hannah had walked
! out of a great building with the knowl
edge that she had work. An eating
house caught her eyes as she walked
toward her room, and she went In and
sat down, realizing suddenly that she
hail eaten nothing that day.
As she snt with a menu canl before
her sin* glanced up and saw entering
tin? girl from up state. She saw Han
nah and hurried toward her all smiles
and flushes.
"I've got a place!" she cried Joyous
ly. "I'm going to work tomorrow.
It's $12 a week."
"Say, that's fine!" said Hannah
heartily. "What's the firm?"
"It's a kind of small Insurance
I business," the girl answered, taking a
card from her hand bag and laying it
before Hannah "That's the man's
name In the corner."
Hannah read and saw the room grow
dark before her.
She got up and put her hands on the
young girl's shoulder
'I've got to lie going," Rhe said.
| With her hand on the knob of the
door she pat.sed, turned sharply and
rams back and sat down before the
girl from up state.
"Say. look here!" she said sharply.
"I've promised to take a fifteen a week
Job, but I made up my mind Just now
to get out of New York, and I don't
want it. I've decided to leave the
city. The work Isn't anything but
what you cAuld do, and S3 a week is a
I lot when you come to think about It
Now. there isn't any reason why you
can't go light up there and say I sent
you and tell them what you can do.
j I know you are all right Will you?"
"Why. yes-s. of course I will," the
| girl answered.
"Ton run right along now. They are
expecting me back,'"teald Hannah.
The girl from up state went radi
i nntlv.
Ilannnli sat for a long time at th#
restaurant tattle, with her food un
touched. tryiii? to think what to do
uext.
At a table behind her a man with
bent shoulders had watched the up
state girl as she talked, and now, as
Hannah lingered, he sat at his table
with some papers spread out before
him. lint he did not read.
The card of the insurance company
lay unheeded beside the girl's coifee
cup Hannah picked it up and read
again (ho name of its representative.
It was Allen Morehouse.
The name was printed in red, and
the letters danced impishly before her
eyes.
The address was on the card. It
| was quite near at hand, not four blocks
! away, anil n sudden impulse made her
I determine to and tell him why the
; flower faced sirl he had hired would
! not return.
j in tive minutes she was In the In
surance ofliee. A boy asked her to
! wait, and she sank back on a bench.
: in a few minutes she was motioned
! toward Mr. Morehouse's private office.
A gray hatred man ivse sitting before
j a flat desk. lie was not very well
dressed, but his eyes were level and
I clear and kind.
j lie looked up, and Hannah spoke.
"J came to say," she said, "that I've
sent that child you hired to a bet
ter job. I thought I'd let you know
that it was Hannah Marvin who was
responsible f»>r your losing her."
"So you thought I wouldn't treat
that little girl well?" he questioned.
Hannah did not reply.
'•.Sometimes," Morehouse went on,
"a man turns out better than you
might expect 1 haven't amounted to
very much, but I've got this little busi
ness here, and the girl who's left me
was here eight years."
Hannah's breath was coming Irreg
ularly. and she felt dizzy.
"Ilannah," he continued, "I've tried
to find you a good while. I've been
sorry about—it all."
He reached across the table and
aught her hand.
"Hannah." he said again, "listen. I
was ihere in the restaurant, and I
sized up the whole situation. I know
what you did. and-I've got a Job for
you. if you'll take it I'm all alone.
Mother died a year ago. I wish you'd
eoine and take care of me. I wish—
you'd uiarry me now."
The woman's gray face flushed and
grew amazed. She stared at the man
before her unbelievingly.
Then the tears came, and as they fell
she brushed them away with the back
of her thin hand.
"Why, don't you see." she said bro
kenly—"don't you see what I am now!
I'm just a crabbed old maid. I'm cross
and ugly and wornont. Don't you
see?"
"Yes, I see." he said slowly. "Ton
looked just like that to me when you
gave up your job to that child."
ne drew her toward him awkwardly
"Hannah." he went on. "I've never
forgotten or forgiven myself for the
past. I've thought of yon constantly
lately."
He stopped.
"Hannah," he finished hoarsely, "I
—I want you!'
