as she took up pile of report cards
''Why, even Tommy Treadwell-"
Now, as Constance busted herself
thus, with all the outward appearance
OF secretary rather than a schemer
she CHANGED to notice that the bottom
drawer on the right hand side OF the
desk was open about two inches. This
was unusual. because the efficiency
man had a habit of keeping this draw
er locked. Just why, she never knew;
but she presumed that he stored per-
sonal papers there. She had never
taken the least interest In the contents

things wholly outside of the Brooke
mansion, and prior to the arrival OF
the efficiency man. The diary was a
mixture of closely written script and
shorthand. Constance perforce skipped
the latter, because she could not read
it. Even after the diary reached the
Gay on which he took charge OF the
household, she did not find it Of much
interest. Day after day, for several
weeks 1t was a simple record Of events
that she knew only too well; color
less, terse, and with many abbrevia-
tons.
But then came an entry that caused
her to sit straighter in the big chair.
Will write book. Data and results
too valuable to be lost to the world.
That was news! H. Hedge was go
ing to write book.
"A novel, I wonderT murmured
Constance. what a queer novel II
would bel"
She continued her explorations with
thoroughly awakened interest. For
several days there was no further ref
erence to a book, unless hidden In
the undecipherable pothooks. And
then:
Good title would be, Putting the
Home on Business Basis" or,
Knocking the Graft Out Of the Amer
lean Household" Great chance for
valuable publication of pioneer work
along this line.
Constance was family disappointed.
The subject sounded dull and unro-
mantle; yet none the less, she had a
personal interest in the pioneer
work." so she pursued her investiga-
lions further. References to the book
became more frequent as the idea
laid hold upon the mind Of the eff
cheney man and began to shape it.

Devote at least one chapter to waste
and inefficiency in homes of the Idle
rich. Unscientific methods. Nom

tration-Brooke.
Constance frowned as she gathered
from this that her home was to be
held up to the world as horrible ex-
ample. She wondered II the efficien-
cy man would have the hardihood to
mention names, and she intended to
speak to her father about 1t as soon
as he returned.
Then another entry. several days
later:
