painter.

long been anxious to have her portrait
painted by the professor. A friend in

execute the commission.
The portrait was finished in 80 sit
tings, and the singer, enthusiastic in
it's praise, handed the painter a small
package and asked him to send the
picture to her home. The professor
opened the package on the spot and
found that it contained $500.
With smile he told the lady she
could keep the $500 and he would keep
the portrait. Frau Kurz thereupon re-
minded him that she had given him

Mr.. STUBBS'
STENOGRAPHER
By PHILIP kEAN
Copyright. IsIl, by Associated Literar, fress

Mr.. Stubs tiptoed into his Office.
IN his hands he carried a square box,
tied with purple string. 1t was early
ana the Office was empty. The little
man placed the square box on the
desk of his stenographer and tiptoed
out again.
A half hour later the stenographer
came. She had slim little figure
and red-gold hair. Her shabby black
suit was up to date and a sailor col
lar covered the worn lapels. Her hat
had perky bow, and her blouse was
immaculate.
She took off her coat and hat; then
turned to her desk. With a little ex-
clamation she opened the box. Inside
was a bunch of violets, tied with silk
cord OF the same color. The little
stenoerapher brooded over them. Her
name was Violet, and they were her
favorite flower.
She wondered who could have put
them there. Across the way, in the
Office of the real estate agent, a tall
bookkeeper was bent over his ledger.
Her eyes flashed and she put the vio-
lets in the box, then tiptoed across
the hall, deposited them Just within
| the door.
| Two minutes later, when Stubs
came, she was tapping the keys of
her typewriter. Stubs gaze wan
dered over the room nervously Then
he asked huskily, Were you the first
one here, Miss Violet?'
She said Yes" deferentially.
1t was this Difference which always
frightened Stubs. He was a plain
man, and from the day when the lit
tie stenographer with the red-gold
hair had come into his office, his
heart had bowed before her; yet he
had worshiped in silence, and had pre-
served so successfully the attitude of
employer and employee, that the little
stenographer had never guessed the
truth.
She had her doubts, however, about
the bookkeeper across the way, who
had forced upon her attentions which
she detested.
Today was her birthday, and she
concluded that the fellow had found
it out, and had sent her the violets

like, salads and sweets and ices.
AS the waiter came up with the

open door of the bookkeeper, cycling
the proceedings with great curiosity.
