Bert Grayce hung UP his coat on the
half shrouded hatrack and entered the
room. The furniture was swathed in
burlap and excelsior, and the piano
was covered with old blankets and 9th

order along the bare walls and upon
the equally bare floor.

She turned TO lead the way as though
there was no argument To be made,
and Bert, srinning over the ridiculous
ness of the affair, followed after He
saw with pleasure that the other apart

and it did not take Bert long to paint
the floors. The girl stood in the door

Bert was sorry when at last lie rose
from his knees and announced the
completion of the job
you will still have time to finish the

ly. Next time do as you are told, and
YOU will have less trouble. You know
very well that the agent told you TO do
this apartment first. lie promised me
that he would"
Hell promise anything" began Bert
grimly, but the tiny foot stamped
warning. The girl did not care to ar
que the point with a workman, and she
dismissed him with a nod

a moment" she added as Bert turned
to go. Buy yourself good cigar,
she finished as she handed him coin.
Bert dropped the dime in his pocket
with a murmurcd word Of thanks and
backed out of the door. Once on the
other side, his embarrassment died
down, and he paused long enough to
ascertain from the card on the door
that it was Dorothy Rems@ who oc-
cupied the apartment. That she was

vaguely he remembered having heard
OF her skill.
He was tired when he sought his
home that night, but the thought that
he would see the girl again on the
morrow gave him a feeling that the
day had been well spent. He carefully
slipped the dime in locket which he
wore on his watch fob and smiled as
he thought Of his "tip."
He painted the studio floors the
first thing next morning and then
turned his attention to his own apart
ment. 1t was late in the afternoon
when he had finished and was clean
ing up. There came ring at the door,
and he opened it to confront young
woman who radlatcd confusion and
penitence.

blushing redly. Il stopped in to thank
the agent for sending me a painter,
and he did not know that my floors
