, her from eight in the evening until two
and three and four the next morning, he
would glance at his watch every ten
minutes during the following day. The
hours from nine to five We're interminable.
He wandered restlessly about the Office,
picking up paper and circular, only to drop
them after an uneasy minute or two. The
entire Office staff faded into the back
ground. Even Miss Winthrop receded
until she became scarcely more than a
figure behind typewriter. When he was
sent out by Farnsworth, he made as long
an GRAND of it as he could. He was gone an
hour, or an hour and half, on commissions
| that should not have taken half the time.
| TT was the week of the Moore cotillion
that Miss Winthrop observed the
change in him. She took it to be nat
ural enough reaction and had half eX-
pected it. There were very few men, her
observation had told her, who could sus-
tain themselves at their best for any
fact, but being fact had to be accepted.
As man he was entitled to an off day
or two-possibly to an off week.
But when the second and third and
fourth week passed without any notable
improvement in him, Miss Winthrop be-
came worried.
"You ought to put him wise" she VEN
tured to suggest to Powers.
"l?" Powers had inquired.
"Well, he seems like a pretty decent
Sort she answered indifferently.
$50 he u.s., admitted Powers, with an
Indifference that was decidedly more gen.
uine than her own. 1t was quite clear
that Powers interest went no further. He
had wife and two children and his own
ambitions.
For long time she saw no more OF him
than she saw of Blake. He nodded good
morning when he came in, and then
seemed to lose himself until noon. Where
he lunched she did not know. For a
while she had rather looked for him, and
then, to cure herself of that, had changed
her own luncheon place. At night he gen.
orally hurried out early-a bad practice
in itself: at least once, Farnsworth had
wanted him for something after he was
gone; he had made no comment, but it was
the sort of thing Farnsworth remembered.
When, on the very next day, Mr. Pendle-
ton started home earlier, it had required a
good deal of self-control on her part not to
stop. him. But; she did not stop him.
For one thing, Blake was at his desk at
the time.
1t was week later that Miss Winthrop
was called into the private Office of Mr..
Seagraves one afternoon. His own ste
nographer had been taken ill, and he
wished her to finish the day. She took
half a dozen letters, and then waited
while Farnsworth came in for conf
fidential consultation upon some business
matters 1t was as the latter was leaving
that Mr.. Seagraves called him back.
"How is Pendleton getting along?" he
inquired.
Miss Winthrop felt her heart stop for
beat or two. She bent over her notebook
to conceal the color that was burning her
cheeks. For an impersonal observer she
realized they showed too much.

answered slowly. "He began well, but he
has let down little lately"
