CONFUSION
AND CANDY
BY CEORCIHNH CRISMOLD.

Now he was forbidden to come, and
he did not even know why!
Some how he blundered along until
lunch time, and when that relief came
he wandered along the street trying
to puzzle out the mystery. So en-
crossed had he become in his thoughts
that he was then minutes late in get
ting back to the Office.
What do you mean by writing
letter like that?" Tucker shouted as
he fourished a paper under the as
| tonished Dudley's nose.
Where did you see Mabel?" de-
manded the under man.
Mabel" yelled the irate Tucker.
What have to do with Mabel?"
Nothing. 1 hope" said Jimmie
Dudley fervently, but you seem TO
have taken the-matter up"
/ Taken it up!" repeated Tucker.
| why shouldn't I take 1t up when 1t
may cost me the sweetest girl In all
| the world?''
II thought you were engaged TO
Belle Winchell," spluttered Dudley,
who was beginning to find the pres
sure upon his throat decidedly incon-
| venient.
Il was hissed Tucker. tightening
his grip upon his victims throat. "un-
| til you. with your assinine Ideas OF
comedy broke 1t off,"
Then what ABOUT Mabel7" gasped
| Jimmie.
That said Tucker. releasing his
hold and spreading the paper before
Jimmie's eyes.
-, r that fO
Mabel?" demanded Dudley, as his eye
fell upon his own handwriting.
Why should you send it to Belle ?"
counter-questioned Tucker.
Jimmie's glance fell upon Dave
Bowen, who had entered. Dave was
doubled up with laughter. Light
dawned upon Jimmie's understanding.
Did you send Belle some candy yes
terday?" he asked Tucker eagerly.
las though you didn't know"
sneered Tucker. Didn't you put this
note in?"
did you get it at Croft's?" pursued
Jimmie.
Didn't you see the name on the
| box?" asked Tucker.
Pound box?" continued Jimmie.
You know it was said Tucker.
With howl Jimmie precipitated
himself upon Bowen and. taking him
OF his guard. promptly tripped him up
and sat upon his chest.
Did you get letter accusing you
of writing love letters to two girls 2"
| demanded Dudley of Tucker.
''She said l was trying to disguise
my handwriting-as If I ever would
| write as badly as you do"
Dave. did vnu mix those boxes?"
deman Dudley.
Il cave adinitted Dave inelegantly.
You see, the two boxes were just
alike and / knew that each held a
letter. 1t was easy to mix things up"
You did," said Jim Dudley and
| Jim Tucker feelingly, and Tucker
added his weight to Dudley's.
They stopped just short Of murder
and then made Dave write elaborate
explanations to both Mabel and Belle
| detailing how he had seen that there
were twin boxes of candy on the two
| desks and how he had changed them.
! He was let off only after ii was
| found that the explanations were ac-
cepted, but Dave declares that IL he
ever falls in love he is going to change
| his position to avoid misunderstand
| ings. And Dudley and Tucker assure
| him feelingly that 1t would be the
wiser course.

been deceiving me. I shall keep the
she has the candy intended for me,
and you can easily write another let
ter. You seem to be quite apt at
writing letters"
There was no signature, though it
needed no name to tell Jimmie from
whom the letter came. There was
only one girl to whom he sent candy
and wrote letters, and he had been
anticipating such a pleasant evening
with her.
All that morning the letters on the
sheets before him engaged in a car
Iifval dance. BY noon he was an
hour behind in his work, and when
the chief clerk asked him if he had
sent that Thompson letter. referring
to a matter under Office discussion,
he decided that Jimmie had been
! drinking, for the poor fellow an
swered that he had sent it. but that
he did not know what in the world
was the matter.
For Jimmie there was only one
letter, and that had gone the day be-
fore to Mabel Stanley, enclosed in a
Dox OF cHocoldtes. ne Always Sent
Mabel chocolates on Wednesdays and
Saturdays, and a letter was always
enclosed. He could not understand
why the letter should have made her
so angry. It had only contained a
few tender messages. and the an
nouncement that he would be UP
Thursday evening as usual. He had
hoped on this very evening to ask
her the question that had been trem-
bling upon his lips ever since he had
been given that last raise In salary.
