"Money is due me for two vests. As a general thing, Walton & Co. don't pay me till I hand in half a dozen, but perhaps they would make an exception in this case."
"That would be but seventy cents. It would not make up what we owe Mrs. Flanagan."
"It might induce her to wait for the rest," said Rose. "If you don't mind staying alone a little while, Addie, I will wrap them up and carry them to the store."
"Go, if you like, Rose. I always miss you, but I cannot expect to keep you here with me all the time."
Rose wrapped up the two completed vests, and putting on her hat, kissed her sister and went down stairs.
It was not far to the great store, which we have already entered with Ben.
Entering, Rose walked to the back part of the store and took the elevator to the second floor, where she found the superintendent of the work-room.
She made known her request.
"Quite out of the question, miss," said the superintendent, sharply.
