Miss Nobody from Nowhere BY ELIZABETH JORDAN Sixth Installment WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE A beautiful young woman finds herself on the sidewalk in a strange city. She cannot remember her name or where she came from. She has nothing in her purse to tell herself who she is. A young man who has seen her in the hotel where she is stopping notices her and takes her to the hotel in a cab. There they meet in French. "Miss Eve Nobody of Nowhere." The clerk has been calling her "Miss Parsons." The young man tells her she is in New York. His name is Eric Hamilton, of Chicago. She is terrified at her loss of memory. He asks his friend, Dr. Carrick, a nerve specialist, to call at the hotel. Dr. Carrick talks encouragingly but says he will need a nurse to stay with the mysterious "Miss Parsons" that night. "Miss Nobody" listens while Hamilton tells her what the doctor has said, then steps into another room. When the nurse arrives, the girl has vanished from the hotel! Eve's departure was simple. She went out of a back door into the servants hall of the hotel, where she encountered a young French porter, who claimed to recognize her. He had seen her in Paris. "Then you know my name?" she demanded eagerly. But the porter had forgotten that. He would write at once to a friend in Paris and find the name of the American young lady they had both had. He tells her where the janitor, he thinks would take her in. Meantime, while Hamilton is anxiously hunting up the nerve specialist for advice, Eve gets into a taxi cab and drives away. She arranges with Marcel's friend, the janitor of a dingy little apartment house on the East Side of New York, on small land near the young woman who occupies the next apartment come in very late in the morning. Eve wonders what sort of a place she has got into. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The third night in the new quarters was another nightmare. For the mental fog did not lift. She was not to be relieved from it, then, in the three months. She had not realized how greet inquiries; but she softened it by asking interestedly, "What do you do?" "Me? I dance at Jake's." Miss Davenport gave the information in a tone which implied that her mind was on something else. "Where's Jake's?" Miss Davenport gave the information, and went on with the gusto attending an evidently enthralling subject. "Jake's," it appeared, was not what you'd call one of the town's swell joints. Neither was it a tough one. Eve inferred that it lay in comfortable security somewhere between these extremes, and the speaker added that Jake himself was a good egg. "You don't need a letter from your pastor to get into Jake's, but you sure get kicked out quick if you don't behave yourself while you're there," Ivy enthusiastically testified. "You shake a loose ankle, too, don't you?" she ended, so suddenly that Eve was startled out of her caution. "I don't know," she admitted. "Huh?" "I mean I don't know whether I'm a good dancer or not." That brought another stare. Then Miss Davenport arose. "You come into my joint an' I'll soon tell you," she remarked with decision. She led the way back to her own quarters as she spoke. In super assurance that she would be followed, Eve hesitated only an instant before accompanying the other girl across the hall. Miss Davenport's "joint" seemed at first like the ghost of a room, in which the added specter of a piano grinned at the visitor out of the shadows. The place was clean but cluttered. A tall mirror stood in one corner, and a phonograph in another corner supplemented the musical atmosphere lent by impatiently repeated before respond to it. The door opened Eve could reach it, and this young person on the threshold herself into the room. It was enport, as resplendent as a tree and clearly dressed for the expression on her implica one of acute agony. "Say," she asked without "got a hot-water bottle?" A planation of this abrupt rhapsodie her side with her lurched across the room drove a groan into the nearest creek. "One of my attaches," she between stiff lips. "I get now and then, dann 'em, just hell. I started out thin over this, like I do sometime hadda come back. They aim yet, so I guess this wont. "But it'd help an awful lo crawl into bed and make hot-water bottle." "I'm terribly sorry," Eve her side. "I haven't a thing." Ivy bent and twisted unduly of pain. "Let me help you to bed quickly." "Can you get back you an arm?" "I guess so . . . but don't The girl stood up with a get heavily on the supporting arm." "I'll put you to bed first run out and get a hot-wait I suppose there's a drug here. Perhaps I can get else, too. What helps you?" "I got some medline, b helps me like the hot-wait does. I took mine to Queen Sunday night, and forgot mornin'. Whatcha know The one thing I aln't never..." would be necessary. But as yet she closed her cars to the sound of battles in the future. If she must fight them, she would be up to them; at least she began to hope she would. But surely she could give herself a week of waiting. The days were as alike as telegraph-poles along a country road. She walked and read and kept her record with brief exactitude. All the time Memory was at her side like a motionless black figure, seemingly preparing to move, yet never moving. A hundred times a day Eve caught at the trailing end of some suggestion which refused to be caught. She realized that these frantic, futile clutches were wearing her out yet she dared not discontinue them. At any minute one of them might lead her back. She spent most or her afternoons in Miss Davenport arose. "You come into my joint an' I'll soon tell you," she remarked with decision. She led the way back to her own quarters as she spoke, in superb assurance that she would be followed. Eve hesitated only an instant before accompanying the other girl across the hall. Miss Davenport's "joint" seemed at first like the ghost of a room, in which the added specter of a piano grinned at the visitor out of the shadows. The place was clean but cluttered. A tall mirror stood in one corner, and a phonograph in another corner supplemented the musical atmosphere lent by the plano. Miss Davenport wound up the phonograph. She put on a record and the little room was filled with dance music, to which the hostess at once began to dance a fox-trot. "Know this?" she demanded. "I... think so." "Try it." There was something in the music that was not unlike the hostess, and the guest responded to them both. "You're awful good," Ivie lending herself to the man like a helpless child. "I'll soon's I'm between the shee Undressing her was a sim and Eve performed it feebly indicated red pajama across the foot of the bed, hustled her into them. "It's a shame to leave this," Ivy muttered. "But I'd never straighten out age." "I'm glad to help you." Eve got her into bed, so she wondered if she had nurse in her previous state of it was pleasant to discover could do things efficiently, her self--espect. "Now I'll go for the hot tittle," she told the patient, till I get back. Hadn't I a doctor, too?" "No, I don't want no delay." Despite her pain Ivy slowly, almost roughly, and deepening of her strong fear for this other girl, who shared her dread of the proce Before she left the apart put the water on to bolt, got back she filled the bottle it to the sufferer, who set place with a groan of relief. "Most of the pain's here vaguely indicating a regic her waist and her heart, of the fool doctors could make it." Twont last me now, but I'm all in when I'll sit here till you feel amateur nurse drew an easy to the bed. "Don't talk, and try to go to sleep," she settled into comfort.

She walked and read and kept her record with brief exactitude. All the time Memory was at her side like a motionless black figure, seemingly preparing to move, yet never moving. A hundred times a day Eve caught at the trailing end of some suggestion which refused to be caught. She realized that these frantic, futile clutches were wearing her out yet she dared not discontinue them. At any minute one of them might lead her back. She spent most or her afternoons in the reading-rooms of the library, walking to and from this refuge, for the exercise. Several times she met Miss Davenport on the stairs of the old apartment-house, and was glad to observe that the young dancer had lost her look of acute physical suffering, though her face still had a bluish pallor. The late afternoon of the fourth day was brightened by a visit from her neighbor. The girl breezed in without waiting for an answer to a rather assertive knock, revealing herself clad in a red Japanese kimono, with slippers and silk stockings to match. Her bobbed hair, which was naturally wavy, shone from a recent brushing. Eve observed with pleasure as she rose to greet her that there was no frowziness in the appearance of the new-comer. She was as immaculate as a red carnation, and she had the grin of a friendly puppy and a tinkling air of camaraderie. Nothing about her suggested the strick-en figure of a few nights before. "Hello," she began, and added ingratiatingly, without giving her hostess a chance to reply, "got any cigarettes you e'n spare?" "No. I don't smoke. I'm awfully sorry." Miss Davenport sighed. "I'm out" she said. "I'll have to send Smith to get some." But she made no move to leave, and Eve said at her, pathetically glad to have this one full-guest enter her tragic No Man's Land. "What's your life?" the caller suddenly demanded. "My line!" "Yep. Your spiel," the other explained, "you gotta have eats, ain't you? How do you pay for em." "Oh, you mean how do I earn my living?" Eve sense of pleasure in the interview perished. "I'm resting now," she said in a tone that forbade further head. "I'm afraid not." "Well, try it." Her persistence, though odd, was friendly, and Eve tried it. "Not so good," the hostess admitted. "This is the way. See?" She went through the steps and made a few suggestions, put her guest twice through the dance, and dropped into a chair with a sudden look of exhaustion. "I'm all in," she admitted. "It gets me that way, these days—even a little of it. Ain't it the limit, when I've always been so well?... Say, what's your name anyhow?" she interrupted herself to ask. "Personne? I thought that's what Smith said 'twas. All right. Listen, Miss Bersan, let's get down to cases. I ain't been doing this for my health you know—draggin' you in here an' puttin' you through a rehearsal. It's business. See? What I want to say is—you're out of a job, ain't you? Well, I'm the Jane can get you one!" She was so beamingly satisfied with her little ruse and its success that Eve was touched. "It's awfully good of you," she said warmly, "but—" "But nothin', It's with Jake!" Eve shook her head. "You're more than kind," she said. "I can't thank you. But dancing isn't my line." "You ain't great," Miss Davenport frankly admitted. "But you're good. An' you got a nice look about you. You'd suit Jake like a poached egg suits toast. He likes 'em re-e-fined." Eve laughed. "I'm sorry," she said, "but it's out of the question. Thank you a thousand times. Just the same. This world seems full of Good Samaritans." Eve gave much thought to Miss Davenport's suggestion in the week that followed. If this thing was going on the time for reconstruction work must soon come. She must tackle the job of living. She must do something to earn money. She had paid seventy-five dollars for less than a month's rent—far too much. She could not live indefinitely on that remaining two hundred dollars. What wage-earning possibilities could she consider? A second call from Miss Davenport answered the question. At ten o'clock one night a week later a sharp tap on Eve's outer door was MARKET STRONG SHIPMENTS LARGE July Estimates by Dana King Show Very Satisfactory Situation A more nearly normal supply in California oranges and a slightly lower price level than for the preceding month are the features of the past month's orange market, according to Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. A strong demand was induced through the Fourth of July holidays and prices have been favorable since that time. "The volume of Exchange oranges and grapefruit sold during the past month has been quite satisfactory as compared with the total crop for the season," stated Mr. King. "The demand for oranges during June was not as strong as the previous month when the supply from all sources was considerably reduced due to the clean-up of the Florida crop, the light crop of California Navels, reduction in the central California Valencia crop, and the late maturing of Valencias in southern California counties. Prices are now well in line with the more normal orange supply." "The July estimate shows a reduction in the Exchange orange crop of 1.8 per cent as compared with the June 1 estimate," continued the Sunkist sales manager. "The proportion of the estimated 1930 Exchange Valencia crop shipped to July 3 is 42.7 per cent, compared with 33.2 per cent in 1929, and 45.3 per cent in 1928. Exchange Valencias remaining will permit average shipments of 100 cars a day, or 600 a week, until about the middle of October. With the remainder of the California crop properly distributed in accordance with the demand throughout the summer and fall months, a very satisfactory market should prevail." Comparing the present market-with the nearest comparable crop in 1928, fob prices on all exchange Valencias sold to date are 53c per box higher on a slightly greater quantity of fruit than in 1928.

"The values prevailing on Californiaoranges and grapefruit this yearare outstanding as comparedwith anyother perishable food product," concludedMr.King."This situation is due tointelligent advertising and distributionofthe existing crop in accordancewithmodern merchandising methods.Sucha time as this shows the wisdomofthepolicy of Exchange members in sending their fruit to the markets throughtheir own channels of distributionassumingall of the risks and offeringitto the trade in the proper quantitiesdayby day.California citrus growers,bydistributing their crop themselves andmaintaining the interest of theconsumer in their product,can claimanoutstanding achievement in thisseasonof generally unsettled businessconditions." JOPLIN ... an old Orange County name ... tried and true ... For more than half a century the name has been known to citizens of Orange county, symbolic of the staunch pioneer character that moulded this land to its destiny; rooted in our early traditions. The Joplin record is carved there, indelibly, for all to read. The name has been tested in the crucible of long and exacting service ... 30 years custody of public money ... with every cent accounted for ... but that is no surprise to the pioneers who know the name Joplin. Unswerving devotion to duty ... safe and conservative care of a public trust ... tried and true service ... such virtues have a clear meaning for those who value honor and character, with efficiency, in a public officer. It has been no accident that the treasury of Orange county has been safe and sound for 30 years. Sane business judgment will agree that his record, which has won for him a majority of the votes at every election since 1898, still is an adequate reason for re-electing J. C.
