"Anything!" echoed Queed, with a faint smile. "You might say that I've written everything about it the best article I ever wrote, I should say. It's our last chance, you know." Queed thought of Eva Bernheimer, and a light crept into his ordinarily impassive eye. At the same time, West's ordinarily buoyant face fell a little. "That so? Let me see how you've handled it, will you?"
"I'm here going over the books of the Bernheimer Distilling Company," he said when they had spoken of this and that, "and, you know, when a chartered accountant gets on a job he's supposed to keep right at it until he's done. Well, my work keeps me busy till pretty late.

Then he told a typical story, the story of a little girl he knew, who worked in a department store for three dollars and a half a week, and whose drunken father took over the last cent of that every Saturday night. This girl's name was Eva Bernheimer, and she was sixteen years old and "in trouble." "You know what, Doc?" Buck ended. "You'd ought to take it up in the Post that's what.
Within him understanding had broken painfully into flame. Miss Weyland believed that he was the author of the unforgivable editorial he, who had so gladly given, first the best abilities he had, and then his position itself, to the cause of Eva Bernheimer.
There there's a way those things are done without just coming right out. I guess you think, when Selma Bernheimer married her baron, he came right out in words and said it had to be two millions. Like fun he did! But just the same, you don't think she could have said yes to him, when he asked her, unless she knew that she she could fork over, do you?"
Suppose there was a war and a million of unexpected expenses had suddenly dropped on us from the clouds? Wouldn't you agree that circumstances altered cases, and that, under such circumstances, everything that was not indispensable to the State's existence would have to go over?" Queed felt like answering West's pepper-fire of casuistry by throwing Eva Bernheimer at his head.
"Methods of Social Reform," W. S. Jevons. "Picture Exhibitions in Lower New York," A. C. Bernheimer in "Forum," Vol. XIX, pp. 610 sq. pp. 119 sq. I have been very unfortunate if, in the foregoing chapters, I have failed to make it clear that there are many ways of assisting the poor in their homes besides the one way usually implied by the word "assistance."
Truly, the church was a great institution the solution of all the puzzles and problems of life. And fortunate was Samuel to be so close to the inner life of things! Then suddenly, on a street corner, he stopped short. A sign had caught his eye-"John Callahan, Wines and Liquors Bernheimer Beer." "Do you know what that place is?" he said to Sophie. "That's where my friend Finnegan works."
But now this institution had become indissolubly connected in Queed's mind with the case of Eva Bernheimer, whom Buck Klinker knew, Eva Bernheimer who was "in trouble" at sixteen, and had now "dropped out." A reformatory had become in his thought a living instrument to catch the Eva Bernheimers of this world, and effectually prevent them from dropping out.
