ployer! "Ah, / see you have met be-

his corner.
The pair looked at each other, STAN
merlng, confused, but very happy. In
a moment all barriers were down.
Il am sorry your first duties were to
correct my Mistakes" she said, and her
voice was low and as courteous as it
should have been to an employer. There
was twinkle in her eyes now.
1T was happy employment, and |
hope to correct others-one, in fact, that
has made me miserable for two long
years."
Dorothy Benson made her retreat In
a maze of complex thoughts. 1t was
so sweet to see him-to hear his voice;
but what should she do? She could not
meet him thus every day and under
such conditions!
She wondered what new purpose had
filled his soul to bring him into bust
ness and why-but the Office boy laid a
letter on her desk as If in answer to her
question. 1t was rapidly written:
DearestI found no other way to
come into your life-forgive mel
thought l could see you every day and
perhaps in time you would find enough
good in me to make at least a friend.
and have no other purpose in life than
to be worthy Of that. But since have
looked into your eyes, l have dared to
hope that It has all been bitter mis-
take, and that you will let me say all
that is In my heart. Meet me at the
noon hour" doesn't that sound like a
working manD and we will go to a
quiet little corner, my princess. and
then l will tell you that you are dis
charged and that we must find a new
assistant editor. With all my heart, l
am YOUR JACK
