years ago. You wasn't working here then,
l guess" With buntness almost explosive
Steketee finished: Il don't like him.
Jeanette darted up birdlike look at
the lowering face of her companion. She
half puckered her mouth to shape the
curious question, why" Then she
locked her lips.
Joe did not speak again until they had
traversed the general office. At the fac
tory door he started toward the shipping
room, she in the direction of the elevator.
well good-by." he called after her.
"Good-by, Joe" she answered. The
words seemed to hold significance that
Jeanette did not mean. She added
hastily: "I'll see you upstairs. I've got
some broken coils for you to fix.
"All right" Steketee's deep voice had
sounded dead before. Now it pulsed with
vitality. like the throbbing of drum after
mut1lers have been stripped from the
sticks. "I'll be up in just a minute.
A quarter of an hour later they We're
finishing their scrutiny of the defective
coils Joe inserted into the discussion
a topic that had nothing at all to do with
assembling or testing.
Say, Jane, arbutus ought to be pretty
near out, hadn't it?'
Jeanette had sharp ears. They caught
the quaver of tense wistfulness in his
tones. Lets go down to the Lake Woods
next Sunday and see. she granted.
His face glowed with delight, Lord,
| hope it'll be nice day he cried.
THAT was Tuesday. On Saturday morn
ing, directly after the postman made
his first delivery to the Ajax Electric Com
pany the forewoman contrived an errand
to the Office.
Letter for you, Jane!" the mail clerk
sang out.
The head inspector glanced keenly at
the hand-addressed. plain. square enveop
passed to her. 1t was postmarked "Aladi-
son So Sta. n. Y.
"Humph." she dissembled. wonder
what struck her to write"
Jeanette had scarcely dared to hope
that the Eastern manager would pen her
an autograph mssive on his private cor
respondence paper When she was back
at her desk Jane cut the envelop and

had seen his photograph at distance.
1t was one of a group of autographed pic
lures in the presidents office. After she
had mailed her thanks, the metamor-
phosed Jane stole into the untenanted
sanctum and gazed for nearly five minutes
at the fascinating photograph of her New
York cavalier. Jeanette was surprised
that she had not observed previously how
very distinguished McBundy appeared in
his picture. He had the thin. sharply
cut features of patrician. And he wore
a pince-nez
How glad she was that she had signed
"(Miss) Jeanette Diekema" to her letter!
Suppose she had written Jane, the work
aday name she scribbled on receipts for
coils delivered by Joe Steketee for testing!
A II the moment of her incidental thought
of the young foreman of the assembling
department, Steketee's tall, hard-muscled
figure filled the doorway.
Hello, Jane! | see you've taken pos
session of headquarters. Got any orders
for me this morning?' The foreman
stepped across the threshold. In a lower,
half serious, half merry tone he added,
Lord! it 'u'd be nice to have you boss
me around!"
Jane had grown accustomed to the fore
mans doggedly persistent love-making.
But Jeanette all at once took an active
dislike to what had been merely matter
of course to Jane.
Il do wish, she declared resentfully,
you'd quit being so rdiculous!" In a
flash she switched from rebuke to curious
inquiry: "Say, Joe. have you ever seen
McBundy? Do you know what kind o.
man he is?"
The foreman's gray eyes hardened. His
glance flickered to the picture then re-
verted to the girls face "Why do you
want to know about him, Jane?"
The pinkness in James cheeks deepened.
"You remember inspected those speci-
men coils we sent the New York Office a
couple of weeks ago. Well McBundy

laughed lightly and started out of the

Almost at glance she read.
My DEAR Miss DIEKEMA: You were
jolly good to write me. l should express my
appreciation more fully now; but have to
snatching this little time to reply to you.
However, l expect to be at the factory next
week-Monday probably. Then Wen shake
hands and get better acquainted.
Hastily, RANKIN McBUNDY.
A respiration swept out of Jeannette's
breast like the genial current of air from
house door opened on frosty morning
Her breath seemed to warm her benumbed
romance back to tingling life.
With eyes that first sparkled, then
glowed Jeanette read her letter again.
McBundy actually was coming to see her!
In two days more they should "get better
acquainted"
All the rest of that Saturday discipline
in the inspection department was relaxed.
The forewoman danced through her
duties with her blonde head in cloud.
On Sunday morning, when she went
with Joe to the Lake Woods for ar
butus, her exuberant spirits still welled
over. Manlike, Steketee misinterpreted
Jeanette sebulience, and was transported
in consequence. If the alert girl had not
checked his runaway hopes by sharp jerks
whenever he gave rein to his ardor, he
would have proposed to her again.
Joe was very grumpy on the street-car
going back to town. Jeanette was glad
when she reached home. Her escort
handed her the big armful of fragrant

tipped his derby and said good-by.
THE factory siren screeched it's five
minuteS-to-Seven warning as Jeanette
latched the door of her wardrobe closet.
At the call of responsibility she began
walking briskly up and down the aisles
of her department.. 1t was her custom to
make every morning an eagle-eyed, swift
survey of all the testing tables.
During the first half-hour Of that morn
ing Jeanette felt vixenish. She was un-

began to irritate her. Impulsively she
decided to invade his territory and end
the nervous ordeal
She snatched up handful of defective

floor of the factory. He fussily spread out
a letter on the head inspectors desk and
pointed to paragraph.
"There's little message from our
Eastern manager to you, Miss Diekema,

"For me?" exclaimed Jane in surprise.
Her curious eyes swept the indicated part
of the letter:

this one is due more to the perfect sample

Barker always was in a hurry. He
trotted off imr ediatey after popping out
his compliment.
Jane Diekema sat at the head inspec-
tors desk because she prided herself on
doing perfect work. But such genuine.
unreserved appreciation of her conscien-
tious carefulncss had never before been
given her. The girl tingled with pleasure.

its designer to button down Il ramrod

years of Jane Diekema's life her buxom-

her unbecoming nominal dress. Now all at
once the seams burst. "Jane" simply could
not hold the girl after she had read that
wonderful paragraph in McBundys letter.

DIFFICULT LINKS ARE
NOT IN FAVOR NOW
Average Golfer Is Not Consider.
ed by Greens Committee,
Generally.

There Is a growing tendency among
golf club officials to make their courses
more playable. so that the once week
golfer may enjoy the game. For some
time II was the custom Of the leading
clubs to see how difficult their links
could be made. Courses were fairly
cluttered UP with bunkers and traps
placed to catch the shot that was just
the least bit poorly played.
The work Of stiffening the links ap-
pealsd 10 the professional and Class A
amateurs. but tho accomplishing duffer
was left to his own fate. which was
generally one of the troublesome traps
that greens committees 90 freely scat
tered around.
As the army of golfers with only or
dinary ability grew by the tens of thou
sands the club officials suddenly awak-
ened to the fact that this great class OF
players should be catered to a little,
and they tried to arrive at happy
medium by not making the links too
difficult.
The tendency in this direction is best
seen in the announcement of the mag
nihcent Lido links at Long Beach. L. l..
which says that Its course has been de-
signed and laid out for the average
golfer.
Metropolitan open championship that
the Fox Hills links, the scene OF tho
tournament, were SO easy that extreme
ly low scoring would result.
