She has ruined my delicate laces," and Evelyn's maid turned to convey her heartless young mistress's dismissal to the frowzy, tear-stained laundress. Then Evelyn went shopping with her auntie and spent enough of her indulgent father's money to keep twenty laundresses in comfort for as many years. Gerald Collins was waiting when Evelyn returned, also a letter from her friend, Margaret Evers, asking Evelyn to a week's housewarming at her new country place. Gerald gladly consented to see Evelyn to the train the following week. Evelyn's maid had been rebuked for carelessness, and so she sullenly followed Evelyn with the suitcase, handbag and jewel case when the little lady started for the house party. At the train, Evelyn was absorbed in Gerald. The maid, finding herself unnoticed, trickily ran back home, thinking to repay Miss Evelyn's unkindness by partly spoiling her trip. Evelyn arrived at her destination, and confused at not finding her maid, dropped her gold mesh bag. Her friend's new chauffeur had had a breakdown on the road, and then met with a convivial friend, so there was no one to meet her. Then, following the discovery of her lost purse, came a series of humiliating incidents which culminated in her being driven to the park for shelter that night. As she staggered to a bench, weak from anger, hunger and bewilderment, a tough accosted her. This was too much for Evelyn. She fainted. The tough immediately gave a signal whistle, to which a pal responded, and the two dragged Evelyn towards a nearby saloon. Bob Harding, a young mechanic, on his way from work, became suspicious when he saw the two tough-looking men dragging a limp girl down an alley. He cautiously followed. As the girl seemed unconscious, he entered the saloon and affected her rescue after a terrific struggle in which the place was well-nigh wrecked. Bob carried Evelyn home to his mother, who nursed the fevered girl tenderly. Mrs. Evers confirmed their worst fears, and a search for her was instituted without apparent result. After a week she regained consciousness, her fever abating, and asked to have her father notified of her whereabouts. Bob, now in love with her, learned from a newspaper item that she was probably the missing Evelyn Harding, daughter of New York's wealthiest man. He immediately telegraphed Mr. Harding, who came with the haughty aunt and took her away, but not before the love crazed youth had kissed her madly in farewell. Evelyn in her mansion thought only of Bob. When Gerald Collins, whom she had favored before her mishap, proposed, she burst into tears. Bob in his bumble home thought only of Evelyn. In his agony he kept calling for her. Finally the doctor wrote her. Evelyn, in defiance of father and aunt came to him, and he became to mend immediately. She wired her father asking his consent to their marriage. He wired disinheritance unless she would return alone and at once. She waited and brought Bob back with her. Dame fortune kindly gave him an opportunity to save her. Harding in a crisis and he then gladly gave his consent to Evelyn's marriage with one of "the Rabble."
