salary, and, unlike her, had been ad-
vanced by easy stages to $25 a week.
The advancement was the direct re-
suit of judicious system of humoring
people.
Miss Saunders had long felt aspira-
tions toward salary of $25 a week,
consequently she fell in love with the
idea Of humoring people. Failing in
love with an idea-like falling in love
with a man-moves the victim of the
love mania to actions strange and in
explicable to those who think they
know her.
When the Office boy began to move
things about on her desk Miss Saun-
ders snapped: stop that, Benny! 1t
is bad enough to know that you steal
every pencil stub I have without let
ting you do it under my very nose"
1T is my business to carry away
truck and 1 amt hunting a pencil-it's
my gum. l stuck it round this desk
somewhere"
Ugh! Here it is," pointing to it
disgustedly, as if she had seen a
mouse. Quick! Take it off. If 1
ever catch you sticking gum on my
Gesk AGAIN"
She hesitated, trying to think Of
threat commensurate with the offense.
Then she was seized by her new idea
Suddenly her tone became conciliatOry
and she said: Gum is not so bad as
tobacco, Benny, but here is some
thing really good. Have some candy"
She held out box of chocolates.
The boy regarded her with instant
suspicion Look here" he said, 'it
it's q note you want me to carry my
price is 20 cents, same as l charge
the men,"
This was discouraging, but girl
in love with an idea does not give up
hope at the first rebuff any more than
does a girl in love with man.
Miss Saunders was not in love with
any man, yet there was in the office
a man whom she highly respected and
another whom she abominated. When
the latter sat down by her desk and
became disagreeably pleasant her first
impulse was to annihilate him with
a look Then it occurred to her that
perhaps it was her former brusque-
ness which had attracted him and that
she could better secure freedom from
his attentions by humoring them, so
she did her best. Her active mind
was at work on discovering a way
to humor her employer, since, If
the salary of $25 a week ever material

He was a nervous man, but not un-
