we nave a new typewriter on the sew
enth Moor. l shall give her all my work
and help her all l cam, and if you see me
in her room quite often you will know
Yes, sir, I'll know"
Yes! That's all, Sammis-that's ALL"
II the two old dodgers hadn't played
me for a fiat l shouldn't have said a
word, but they hurt my pride, and in a
day or two l fixed things. Mr.. Wassoon
wa in the new girls room to speak kind
~ to her and offer her so cents to address
5000 envelopes when 1 lodged Mr..
Hendricks in on them. I don't know what
happened in there, but they came out to-
gether with their backs up, and Mr.. Was
soon said:
You blamed old masher, why did you
follow me in there? Tve a good mine to
punch your head"
You old reprobate. but don't give me
any of your lip" shouted Mr.. Hendricks.
You are a scoundrel!"

And then they rushed at each other
and scllnched and rolled on the floor. and
clawed and bit, and l had to get help to
separate them. That afternoon Mr.. Was
soonwent dow to Mr.. Rasher, the agent,
and said / was too fresh, and Mr.. Hen
bricks went down and said he'd leave if l
didnt and Mr.. Rasher called me down
and said:

"And you Will continue to conduct the
elevator as before"

And if Mr.. Wassoon or Mr.. Hen
bricks have any other little racket on
hand and think they can get along with
out letting you INTO their confidence, and
coming down with a dollar or :wo for
that mortgage, then they must take the
consequences. Go back to your fearful
responsibilities, Sammis."
We have another typewriter in this
building. whom the men call "DoVcy,"
and she hadn't been there two days when
! saw that she was stuck on herself. She
also set out to come the high and lordly
over me. Going UP with me after lunch,
she said:
"Bubby. if any one gives you a note for
me and you open it I'll have you bounced
in five mlnutes!"
II wouldn't do such a mean thing I
said.
Take care that you don't. You look to
me like a fresh kid. and ] Just want to
give you a warning. 1t will depend on
me whether yau stay here or not
Amy note for you will be about bust
ness, won't it?'
"Certainly, and you will deliver it at
once, | am very busy with legal work just
now. Is my hat on straight? is there any

and put on all her Sunday clothes, and
When she came back she waited in her
room til J o'clock. The elevator had

could bite nails. Mex morning. as she
rode up with me, she glared and g,ared.
and finally said:
