The young forewoman' "day wages"
amounted to twice as much per week as
the hebdomadal SALARY" of her arch
enemy or any of Estele's clique. But
the new amanuensis had consoled the
other young ladies in the Office. Miss
Brooke promulgated the doctrine, to
which they unanimously subscribed with
snobbish zest, that their lower honoraria
nevertheless We're significant of higher
caste than that of vulgar forewoman."
All of which had promptly come to the
burning ears of Jane-as malicious Es-
telle, of course, meant it should.
The girls of the fourth floor now pre-
tended loftily that they looked down on
the executive of the third because her en-
ployment was not "genteel" like theirs.
The lines of caste We're strictly drawn in
the little Michigan city of kemusgon this
summer. Estelle was a self-elected ar
bitter in the "office crowd" She had been
puissant enough to debar the forewoman
from membership in the Select Dancing
Club. Jane Diekema was stigmatized as
a common working-girl, who wore an
apron and got her hands scratched and
dirty in menial toll. That started the
feud
THE forewoman would have suffered
herself to besliced to bits rather than to
admit that her exclusion from the weekly
parties of the Select Dancing Club
smarted. She laughed scornfully when
she heard of the adverse vote on her name,
then denied with indignation that she had
ever applied for membership. She af-
fected, also, not to care a snap of her mus
cular fingers about the opinions of the
Office pouter-pigeons. But Jane avoided
the fourth floor except when summoned
there on business; and she invariably
Evening star., 1916-03-12

primped as preliminary to crossing the
boundaries of the upstairs circle.
The freight elevator rose laggingly this
afternoon. The forewoman had time to
tuck into semblance of order most of the
struggling wisps of her hair before she
stepped from the platform to the top
story landing. She wished she had re-
membered to take off her apron and wash
her hands. However, it was too late now.
Jane threw back her broad shoulders and
staggered into the general Office with
manner of insouciance.
SHE did not deign, these days, to speak
to any of the stenographers or girl
clerks. She had made that mistake only
once since the feud started. The memory
of the snubbing the siX-dollars-a-week
mail clerk gave her then still ranked.
The forewoman now marched straight
toward the door of the presidents private
room.
Though her eyes did not twitch either
to right or left, Jane was aware that every
girl in the general Office lifted her head
when she entered. Without doubt the
switchboard operator had apprised the
other young ladies that the forewoman
was coming. The silent cross-volley of
contumelious glances did not disturb the
sang-froid of Jane. She held her lips tight
in stiff sneer while she ran the gauntlet
between the parallel rows of desks
Before she had crossed half the width
of the room, however, filters like spiteful
little fires began cracking on all sides.
James face Redeemed angrily; otherwise
her poise of aloofness was not affected by
the derisive giggles. But the lust for
vengeance was boiling in her heart when
the forewoman crossed the threshold of
the presidents sanctum and closed the
Evening star., 1916-03-12

door. She felt most bitterly vindictive
against pretty, impudent, arrogant Es-
telle Brooke. OF all the haute monde on
the fourth floor, the new stenographer
was the haughtiest. Her boldly sharp
laugh had bitten through the discreetly
subdued smokers. 1t pierced to the very
marrow of James sensitiveness.
Mr.. Barker waved his hand toward the
chair nearest his desk. The chubbily
pompous-looking, blunt business man
never put on any airs of superiority with
his forewoman. The relations between
the president of the little Ajax Electric
Company and the capable administrative
head of his assembling department were
characterized by mutual respect and cor
diality.
4Sit down, Miss Diekema," Barker in
vited crisply.
ON the instant Jane became oblivious
of the hateful girls in the general office.
She pumped into the indicated chair and
leaned forward with concentrated atten-
ton. Her employer was man of incisive,
few words. He pushed several dogs
cared, typewriter sheets of paper toward
her.
"We need new set of coil-test specifca-
tions," the president declared abruptly.
"These old ones are so scribbled up with
changes that they are hardly decipher.

hends the inspection standards so we'll as

day trying to dictate some contract pro-
posals from this junk.
The forewoman smiled sympathetically
as she glanced over the disorderly patched
sheets.
"Wel. should think you would've,"
she commented. "It's certainly time you
had some fresh copies to go by. When
have you got to have the new set?'
"How about tackling the job tonight
at homer asked the president.
The forewoman scowled She had not
supposed he was in such hurry. Jane
had worked very hard all day, and had
counted on going to bed early. But her
hesitation was brief The loyalty of the
forewoman to her employer had never
failed to meet any test.
"I can get them out for you tonight"
she promised.
"Good!' CALCULATED the president. II
know it's asking lot of you, Miss Dieke-
ma; but l must make out those bids to-

a smile.
The forewoman grinned back appre-

resumed signing letters.

paratory to running the gauntlet the
second time. She marched from the sane
