week." he informed her, as he replaced
the book in his pocket.
"Don't be silly she warned "You'd
better write down something about not
worrying about your salary at ALL
"I'll do that he returned.
He took out his engagement-boo again
and scribbled line
"Miss Winthrop says not to worry
about my salary" 4
IL didn't say it," she protested.
"Them's your very words.
II mean" she grew really confused.
II mean-you needn't put it down that l
said it. You ought to say it to yourself"
He shook his head.
"That's too deep for me-"
"Then let's drop the subject" she an
swered curtly. "Only don't get the idea
that it's who am worrying about your
salary, one way or the other"
"No need of getting peeved about it,"
he suggested.
"Not in the slightest" she agreed.
But she did not wait for her eclair, and
went back to the Office in anything but
good humor.
ON the whole, Miss Winthrop was rather
" disappointed in him as result of this
last interview-the more so because he
had begun the day so well. Her hopes had
risen high at the way he approached
Powers, and at the seriousness with which
he had listened to what Powers had to
say. He had acted like man eager to
learn. Then he had spoiled it all by
placing undue emphasis on the salary end.
This new development in Pendleton
came as a surprise. 1t did not seem con-
sistent with his nature as she read it in his
eyes. 1t was not in character. 1t left her
doubling her judgment about him along
other lines. She did not object to his am
bition. That was essential. He ought to
work for Farnsworth's position-but for
the position, not the salary. The position
stood for power based upon ability. That
was the sort of success she would be keen
about if she were man.
Curious, too, that Mr.. Pendleton should
be so keen about money in this one di-
rection. She had thought his tendency all
the other way, and had made a mental
note that some time she must drive home
to him few facts about having decent
respect for money. A man who would re-
turn the loan of two-dollar bill in five
dollars worth of roses was not the sort of
man one expected to have vaulting am
bition for thousands for their own sake.
One thing was sure-he was not the type
of man who ought to occupy so much of
her attention on busy afternoon.
At few minutes before five, just as
Miss Winthrop was jabbing the last pin
into her hat. messenger boy hurried into
the office with parcel bearing notice

box. He inquired of Eddie for Miss Win

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for January o, 1915


Miss Winthrop gave swift glance
around the Office MIR. Pendleton was at
work at Powers desk and didn't even
look up. 1t was remarkable exhi-
bition of concentration on his part.
Blake, however, swung around in his
chair and raised his brows.
Miss Winthrop seized the pencil and
wrote her name, dotting the ii" and cross
ing the 1T" with vicious jabs. Then she
picked up the box and hurried toward the
door.
"From a devoted admirer?" inquired
Blake, as she passed him.
Don saw the color spring to Miss Win
throp's cheeks, but she hurried on with
out word in reply. He understood now
what it was she did not like about Blake.
Don was not at all of an aggressive nature,
but at that moment he could have struck
the man with the greatest satisfaction. 1t
seemed the only adequate way of ex-
pressing himself. Blake was still smiling.
Sort of caught her with the goods that
time, eh?" observed Blake.
II don't get you," answered Don.
sCandy by messenger? Well, I've been
looking for it. And when those naughty
ones do fall, believe me, they fall hard"
Maybe" answered Don. "But I'll
bet you five dollars to a quarter you're
wrong about her."
Blake's eyes narrowed tri1e.

"You? Holy smoke, that's going some!"

writing she did for me and because knew
she wouldn't take any money"
II lose. Come out and have drink"
"Thanks," answered Don. "I'm on
my way uptown. Give that quarter to
Eddie"
IF Miss Winthrop ever had more than
nodding acquaintance with Mr.. Pen
dleton, she gave no indication of that fact
when she came in the next morning. With
a face as blank as house closed for the
season, she clicked away at her type
writer until noon, and then hurried out
to lunch as if that were purely business
transaction also. Don followed little
sooner than usual. The little restaurant
was not at all crowded to-day, but she
was not there. He waited ten minutes,
and as he waited the conviction grew that
she did not intend to come.
Don went out and began an investiga-
ton. He visited five similar places in the
course of the next fifteen minutes, and in
the last one he found her. She was seated
in far corner, and she was huddled up as
if trying to make herself as inconspicuous
as possible. AS he strobe to her side
with uplifted hat, she shrank away like
hunted thing finding itself trapped.
what did you run away for?' he de-
manded
"What did you hunt me up for?' she
replied.
Because wanted to see YOU
"And l came here because did not
want to see YOU"
"Now, look here" he began.

leave me alone she interrupted.

New York, June 19-Wal St. 10:30 a. m.-The critical state of the Mex ican situation, of which Wall street had forewarning last Saturday, was the cause of further recessions at the opening of today's market. All classes of securities ranged at lower levels, with weakness in Mexican Pc troleum, Southern Pacific and United States Smelling, where losses extend ed from 1 1-4 to 8 1-2 points. Cop pers, Crucible Steel, Beet Sugar, Ma rine preferred and Industrial Alcohol also inclined to heaviness Promi- nent rails yielded from fractions to 8 full point. Supporting orders soon effected substantial rallies in some of the more active issues, but the undertone remained feverish.
