Please don't waste time any longer at
this thing
Miss Emery tapped on the desk with
her fountain-pen.
II am working she told him impor-
family, "on a very large DEAL
Indeed. What is it?"
"You know Stacy's department-store?"
"That!7 MIR. Wigglesworth sighed de-
spairingly. Edith, did think you had
more perspicacity-'
@Well, have!"
"My dear girl that corner-why, that's

notorious! Not in century
"And yet, Stacy has offered to let me
try
Certainly he has! At what price?"
1.-TWO hundred thousand.
Edith, let me tell you something.
When Stacy first built, he acquired the
whole frontage of the block except that
corner lot-it's fifty by one hundred, isn't
it? He couldn't get it, of course. So he
built his twelve-story castle all around
two-story bungalow. Naturally, it's an
eyesore. 1t looks funny. And Stacy
wouldn't have simply the floor-space there
is in that shack now if he could buy it
he'd have fifty by one hundred multiplied
by twelve. He'd square off his whole
building. That plot-to him-ought to
be worth three or four hundred thousand
easily; and not only the real estate oper-
ators-erery one who reads the papers
knows that he can't touch it! The little
fellow in the jewelry store won't sell!
And now you come along and get an
agency to try to buy it for t,ro hundred
thousand. Why, it's worse than wasting
time; it's numbering it,
"But-the commission is one per cent.
and need it,"
Mr.. Wigglesworth came step nearer.
Edith. won't you please listen to me?
"I'm listening"
"Why won't you be reasonable?' he
pleaded. "You weren't born for work like
this-it isn't fitting, it isn't decent! How
much longer are you going to stay here,
Edith"

laughed-all but his

"You're really seri-

"Of course I am!

1t is undoubtedly true that much may
happen in six months. Often, however,
it doesn't. From April to October Miss
Emery, who had come to New York to
sing the role Of grasshopper, found herself
understanding the ant; but the parallel
ends at the semicolon, for the very simple
reason that, although Miss Emery was
assuredly bright, business was assuredly
dull. To be sure, she had an office, and
typist, and list of clients-and the fact
is an indication of progress. But the
typist was also public stenographer, and
the clients wanted to sell and not to buy,
and the Office doesn't deserve separate
paragraph.
ONE morning Miss Emery chanced to be
thinking more or less consecutively of
Winslow; and at the critical moment
when the lines in her face slanted due
south, the footballs in the corridor ceased
the door of the Office opened, and there
entered Mr. G. T. Wigglesworth, Bachelor
of Laws, Master of Laws, Juris Doctor,
Attorney and Counselor. 1t sounds like
lot, but Mr.. Wigglesworth was bulky
enough to carry it without the slightest
difficulty. He put his hat on the absent
typist's desk, and sat down solidly
"HelloT said Mr.. Wigglesworth. "How's
business?"
"Good!' said Miss Emery.
"Sold anything since | saw you last?'
"No-not thing"
LEASED anything
"Not yet
"I thought you said business is good"
THAT professional courtesy" said
Miss Emery.
"But look here, Edith! This can't
go on forever!"
She glanced at her calendar
at can go on until the tenth of No
vember-"
"Why the tenth?"
Rent day said Miss Emery cheer
fully. $50 far, I've made eight hundred
dollars and spent twelve
"Good Lord! Is it as bad as that?'
"Worse-I didn't have all of the
twelve"
He moved toward her.

trying to fight whole city? You've had
your experience tell you, men won't
trade with women if they can help it!

their astonshment, Miss Emery did
not faint. She merely smiled trihe
fxedly, and sighed one very small and
pardonable sigh, and began to touch her
hat in the unmistakable manner of
woman who is about to go somewhere.
"Well," she said at last, "that's all,

"Pm afraid it is" said Mr.. Wiggles-
worth, not looking at her.
"The estate, said Mr.. Kelsey, "is worth
about thirty cents. Your uncle had an
income of fifty or sixty thousand year,
but an outgo of seventy or eighty"
"In fact" added the lawyer, "there
might even be deficit. There is some un-
improved land in Westchester-'
Mr.. Kelsey glanced at his watch, and
Immediately sprang into action.
swell, well!' he said briskly. taking up
his hat. ITS all over now. I'm sorrier
than l can tell you, Miss Edith! l sup
pose you'll 60 back to Ohio?'
"Why, no, said Miss Emery. Il think
I'll stay in New York"
"The wisdom of that" said MIR. Kelsey,
"is distinctly debatable.' He shook
hands powerfully. Talk it over with
Wigglesworth-or talk it over with me
sometime. And I'll surely see you again
before you do go?"
"You will indeed" said Miss Emery.
Mr.. Kelsey, shaking his head, departed.
THE two who remained sat for little
space without speaking. The lawyer
glanced up, their eyes met, and both
smiled, without conveying any strong inn
preston of mirth.
II stayed to talk it over with you. said
Miss Emery.
"If there's anything under the sun
can do for YOU"
"Well, there is! First, you can tell me
if I'm to get penny from the estate-not
that care whether l do or not, but just
for the information
II doubt" said young Mr.. Wiggles-
worth, "if anybody gets penny
"Then that's settled. All right. Next
I want ysu to help me find something

Mr.. Wigglesworth pricked up his ears
and lifted his eyebrows.
Il thought you'd already decided on

"No-that was just an appointment.
I want to stay in New York; 'front.' go
back to Winslow. But what can dO!'
Il believe the most usual courses, said
MIR. Wigglesworth, again polishing his
glasses, "are in trained nursing and secre-
tarial work"
"But I don't want to study nursing;
and secretary-why, secretary's only
high-class under-paid stenographer!

looking blank.
