here, young woman, my stenographer
has been taking down every word you
have said, and unless you divulge
where you have put that paper III
call policeman"
But that won't give you the paper"
answered Dora.
Dyer looked at her in despair and
tried new tack.
"How much do you want for it," he
asked.
1T isn't for SALE"
"You are an employee of this COM
pany. 1t is your duty to deliver it to
me. That is what you get your salary
for. If you refuse you can and will be
arrested"
II am no longer an employee of this
company" retorted Dora. "You have
just discharged me-"
Mr.. Dyer glared az her. swell, what
are your terms?" he demanded, with a
IerOclouS ScOWI.
"a three years contract for Mr..
Lawson" answered Dora.
you're crazy!" shouted Dyer, ris-
ing. do you think am going to be
blackmailed in this way?"
Evidently not" answered Dora.
"Good afternoon, Mr.. Dyer. One mo-
ment, please. If you put your hand on
me l shall have you arrested"
Dyer glared at her in baffied bewil-
derment. And at that moment Lawson
himself appeared at the door.
"Good-day, Mr.. Dyer" he said, hold
ing out his hand. IF there is any
thing [ can do to clean up before I
leave"
"I'm wise to this ,game" snarled
Dyer. "You pretended that you had
gone home and sent this woman-this
woman--in here to blackmail me-"
Lawson stepped forward, his face
set, his fists clenched. But Dora in
tervened.
81 have just been discharged, Mr..
Lawson" she said, "and Mr.. Dyer
wants that paper referring to the con-
tract which Mr.. Atterbury thought
would some day have value. You re-
member l have often spoken of it to
you"
"Ah, yes" said Lawson vaguely.
"Where is it, Miss Henderson," And
the tone of his voice was so obviously
sincere that Dyer realized his theory
of blackmail had fallen to the ground.
"Mr. Dyer has discharged me-" pur-
sued Dora, land consequently I have
no further duty toward this Office. He
will get it in return for a three years
contract with you to remain chief exec
utive."
'He will, will he?" shouted Lawson
in rage. swell, I guess he won't.
I've just called up the Smith-Benson
company and accepted a position as
their manager at just so per cent more
money"
Dyer turned deathly white. "Good
Lord - he gasped. For the Smith-Ben-
son company was their most dangerous
rival.
'If you like to reconsider, Law
SON" he began.
Lawson turned away, offering Dora
his arm. Dora turned.
you'll find that paper in the third
drawer of your desk, Mr.. Dyer" she
said "Yes-under the false bottom.
I had it made. Good afternoon"
Side by side Lawson and Dora left
| the office. But in the street he took
her in his arms and-yes, kissed her.
| A boy who was passing grinned, but
| neither cared.
''T guess, dear, that since / don't
start in on my new job for month
we'u take that vacation now," he said.

WEST VIRGINIA
BASEBALL CARD
IS ANNOUNCED
Old Gold and Blue Team Will
Play Twenty-Five Games
This Season.

MORGANTOWN, Feb. 25-The
baseball schedule for the West Vir-
GINA University has been announced
by Manager w. H. Boone. 1t in
cludes twenty-five games with two
open dates which the management
expects to fill before the season
opens. The schedule is as follows:
At Home.
April 7-8-Ohio University.
April -KeenwatIn Academy.
April 15-Open.
April 21-22-Bethany.
May 3-4-Marshall College.
May Open.
May 12-13-Westminster.
May 17-Penn State.
May 2G-Marietta.
May 30-Western Reserve (2).
June 10-Plttsburg Collegians
June 12-Wesleyan.
June 13-Alumni.
Abroad.
April 27-Maryland Aggies, Wash
ington. D. C.
April 2s-Georgetown. Washing
tonu. D. e.
May 25-Marietta, Marietta, o.
May 26-27-Marshal College, at
Huntington.
June 3-wesleyan College, at
Buckhannon.
June Wesleyan College at Fair
mont.
AS whole. the schedule is not as
strong or as attractive as the Varsity
has had in former years. However,
there are ample reasons for this and
in view OF the handlcaps which had
to be overcome, the card is a good
one.
The fact that Washington and JET
ferson and Carnegie Tech severed re-
Iations with West Virginia, and the
refusal of Washington and Lee to
schedule two games, all of which was
been played annually for a number
of years, left gap which was
hard to fill. AS matter Of fact, 1t
was not known definitely that these
games would not be played until the
first part Of January, and 1t was then
too late to fill them with other teams.
To add to the misfortune, Student
Manager George Campbell left school
last October right in the midst OF the
work OF arranging schedule and 1t
was some time before schedule mat
tiers could be gotten into shape. Too
much praise cannot be given Manager
Boone, who stepped in November l
and who has practically made the
schedule since that time.
The best homo attractions are
those with Penn State and Western
Reserves. The long trip that has
usually been taken at the time Of the
Easter vacation, Is cut out this year
inasmuch as there will be no Easter
vacation. The schedule as it stands
now will probably be improved with
the addition OF other good games
which the management hopes to
schedule before the season starts, but
concerning which, for various rea-
sons, 1t has been deemed best not
to make any announcements at this
time.
