Then she called up the dumbwaiter:
Mae! Is that you, Mae?"
Hello, Margaret! Say, I'm mighty

Wright spent the afternoon, If ! cared
to. Say, listen, Mae!"
II can't, Margaret. She's calling
me-"
"Just a minute. Listen! Wright
was joy-riding through the town with
his stenographer in his auto, as loving
as you please, with half the town
watching him. Took her nome after
ward. Mr.. Green was just telling
the old woman about it."
You don't say! Say, this is no
place for respectable girl. I'm going
| to move on, for sure. Oh, goodness!
There she is calling again!"
Mrs. Wright had called peremptori-
| ly to hide the shock Of the news. She
had stood with her hand upon the
jamb of the door during the entire
conversation. She had seen Daisy
Dean, her husbands stenographer, two
or three times, and she had noticed
with disapproval the little affectation
of the girl always to have bunch of
daisies upon her desk. Once or twice
her husband had come home wearing
one Of the flowers in his buttonhole.
He had come home with one that
night.
Wright, who loved his wife sincere
ly, had not failed to note the little sign
of jealousy against the girl who was
his business confidant. On that ac-
count he had said nothing about the
reason for his automobile drive with
her that day. Perhaps he would have
been wiser had he done SO. But the
meal passed almost in silence, and he
attributed his wife's moroseness to
her plea Of a nervous headache.

"As I live, Daisy Dean getting out

Look how he's helping her! Who
is he? What will Austin Clark say
when he hearst?
Robert, this thing has got to be
stopped right away!"
Miss Susan Minturn looked at her
younger brother with all her habitual
determination. The prim old maid dis
liked Daisy intensely: First, because
she was stylishly dressed; second. be-
cause she was pretty; thirdly. because
she knew of her brothers hopeless
passion for her.

surlily.
"You can, too. I'm going to make
it my business to see that Austin
Clark hears about it. What right has
an engaged girl to go Joy-riding with
a middle-aged man? He's married, too.
as like as not Those married ones
are usually the worst ever!"
Daisy, having been assisted to her
house, entered and watched her en-
ployer from the window as ne drove
away. Her foot still panied ner a
good deal. It had been wrenched in
the door Of the eleXator as she was
leaving the Office and Mr.. Wright had
considerably driven her home.
He had told her not to come to the
Office for several days. In fact. he
planned to employ public stenog-
pher. But when he began his dicta-
ton the next morning he suddenly
realized that he could not risk the
possibility of publicity in his CORE
spondence at such critical hour In
the end ne dismissed the girl and
called M Daisy.

to her home she hurried back. biting
her lips and sobbing, to fling herself
upon her bed and indulge in the bit
terness Of her self-immolation.
She felt the universal suspicion, she
felt that she was an object oS scorn
and pity. On the last evening of these
automobile rides, when Daisy had at
length recovered, Wright returned to
his home thankful that matters at the
office would thenceforward assume
their old routine. The following day
mis- wife's father would deposit the
sum to his credit, and all would be
plain sailing.
He came home to find the fiat empty
and his wife's belongings gone.

with happiness, Wright was raising
the revolver to his forehead.
And he, too, suddenly became aware
that someone was standing in the
doorway. 1t was his mother. She had
seen the newspapers, had hurried to
his apartment, and then, instinctively
guessing where he had gone. had hast
ened to the Office.
She saw him seated at the desk and
knew that a minute later would have
been too late. She ran to him with
a cry. The weapon dropped from his
hand and rolled under the desk.
'Will, my dear hoy!" she sobbed.

him before his face. Behind his back
they voted him an amusing old BORE
But it was the thing to think as Cad

he had acquired it.

The person in question, seated in

club windows, and the car, after speed

the direction of respectable but
modest suburb
What do you think of that?" de-
manded Green. Wright and a lady

He burst into chuckle and slapped
his fat leg, while the others exchanged
smiles and mods.

if she could see that?"
He glanced about him. He had kept
up mis- reputation among his peers.
Now the news must be spread. It was
too good to retain. Green did not
wish Wright any harm, but he felt
that the joke was on him, and he
wanted Mrs Green to agree with him.
By the time he reached the apart
ment house he was bursting with the
news. Dinner was ready, and he held
1t only through the soup, indulging in
the joys of anticipation until he could
bear them no longer.

to take his arms off the table before

an air of judicial impassivity. The

Wright alone remained serenely in ig-

This increase IN orders unnlled
came in a month when the output OF
the corporation was undoubtedly
