quietly, but determinedly.
This IA serious, but it's going to stop
before It gets more serious. II I had

Before Bessie could protest, Miss
Candy had gone, and the rather dag.

or sorry that her quarrel had been
taken In hand by her masterful en-
ployer. She moved about softly, stop
ping often to stare at nothing. After
she had bathed her face and powdered

When her desk was almost In order,
the telephone rang.

Taking Bessie's arm she escorted her
through the store and out through a
side entrance opening on another
street. At the curb a taxicab stood
throbbing, and from the cab sprang
Robert Davis, whose eyes pleaded ele-
quently as he held out his hand to
Bessie. She extended her own hand
timidly and the next minute found
herself in the cab. with Miss Candy
speaking to her from the curb.
You and Robert are going to look
over that lot once more, and II can
