The Savannah morning news., 1901-10-20

You will see by the accompanying
casualty report that our ill-luck is still
with us. Upon mature consideration 1
have come to believe that the best in
terests OF the company demand
change in the management of this di-
vision. Therefore, / beg leave to ten
der herewith my resignation, to take
effect -"
He stopped because Miss Gray's fly
ing pencil had stopped and she was
looking up at him with something more
than surprise lying at the bottom of
the deep-welled eyes. 20, no; not
that" she said, quickly; and then she
looked away from him.
He stared at her as he might have
stared at the first presidents picture
over his desk if that had suddenly
spoken to him. Then he said why
not?"
Excuse me, please" she entreated,
turning back to her notebook. II had
no right to say that-or anything"
Then she gave him his cue my resig-
nation, to take effect"
He pushed the cue aside in an i'm
patient gesture. 1--WE will waive the
technical question of right. Is there
the smallest defensible reason why /
should not resign?"
There is every reason" She said it
warmly, with another upward flash of
the clear-seeing eyes. What would
you think of a soldier-an officer-who
resigned under fire?"
Pettigrew pulled himself together and
tried to remember that he was the
division superintendent and she was
his stenographer-thi for decent dis
cipline's sake. But the barrier of sham
dignity fell down. and his better sense
told him that they were for the time
| only a man and a woman as God made
| them-a man in sore trouble and a wo-
man who would help him if she could.
Go on" he said humbly. 1T APP
pears to me that my course is the only
| justifiable one"
| She shook her head. mo- you
haven't done ALL"
| 1T is very evident that l haven't
| done the right thing" he rejoined.
| She pushed the pencil and notebook
away as if to remind him that their
business relation was suspended for the
| moment.
Can you bear little TRUTH she
| asked, with the righteousness of a
young woman who, the business rela-
ton apart, could take her place in
stantly as his equal.
He gaZed at her with interest newly
aroused. He had been regarding her as
mere bit of the Office machinery-the
only bit that never gave him any trou
BILE by getting out of gear. But now
he saw the real Agnes Gray, the daugh-
