Miss Graham'S
y r epriCal


Like many another estate supposed to
run into the tens of thousands, that OF
John Graham hardly figured out suffi-
GENTLY to pay his debts. And like
many another girl who has been
brought up in luxury. Helen Graham
aged twenty, had her choice between
being poor relation or going out
into the world to make her own living
She had acted as her fathers secretary
for years, and in that position had mas
tered both stenography and typewrit-
ing.
1t wasn't the girls good looks or am
bition that secured her a place after
meeting with many failures. She hap
pened into the brokerage Office of
Sweet & Son just as one of their foul
or five typewriters had tainted away
and had to be sent home. At the end
of the week her place was made perma-
nent, and the austere and dignified Mr.
Joseph Sweet astonished his good look
ing twenty-five-year-old son by saying
"Tom, think Miss Graham Il trifle
superior to the ordinary girl, and you
may advance her salary a couple of dol
lars week if she holds out as she has
begun"
sleeps eyes in the direction of the lat.
est arrival he remarked:
Thomas, hope you won't encourage
Miss Graham to engage in CONVERSE
ton with you. She is an employee, you
know"
ther," replied Tom as he toyed with his
pen.
1T is possible. Thomas-it Is posi-
BILE; but all female employees are ladies
nowadays. | really think, my boy, that
you ought to administer a snub to
keep her in check!'
Tom took day to think the matter
over, and then administered the snub
by asking Miss Graham to lunch with
him. The senior Mr.. Sweet happened
to see them together on the street
Tom had refused to snub and he de.
cfded to do it himself That very aft,
ernoOn he took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to say:
Miss Graham, am so we'll satisfied
with your work that shall advance
your salary. l think have heard
some of them say that there is a clean
cheap restaurant around the corner
and suggest that you lunch there il
the future
Tom renewed the invitation after q
day or two, but it was not again &C.
cepted. He could not make out Just
what was wrong until the father ex.
planned:
Thomas. l attended to that little
Stumbling matter myself a few days
ago. and you may have observed that
Miss Graham seems to have profited by
1t. Please don't forget your dignity
again.
1t was the first time in her life that
Helen Graham had been snubbed. She
decided that she would pay it back
with interest if the opportunity was
ever afforded. 1t came with surprising
sWlftness. A week hardly passed wher
