young man. He had for some time
looked with longing eye on the fine
old house with its pretty grounds.
Decidedly there must be no mort
gage. He concluded he must bring
matters to a crisis. But Jean persis-
tently side-tracked his endeaVOTs, so
the next best thing was to help her to
a position. He was quite sure she
would soon tire of the hard work and
be willing to become Mrs. Leon Brad
bury. To throw her into the numer-
GUS temptations of an Office with all
kinds Of men, perhaps those who
would make themselves agreeable to
her, was out of the question, so he
watched his chance and when one of
the girls in Mr.. Hardness Office left,
got for her the vacant place. Hank
ness was a bachelor over 40, and
seasoned and confirmed in a single
life. Bradbury had no fears of him
as a rival. Besides he would have
Jean quite under his eye, and, as he
told her mother, would look out for
her"
The first day Jean took dictation
from Mr.. Hardness she made several
mistakes.
q am sorry" she said. Il will try
not to have it happen again. But if
I make you to much trouble, you can
discharge me.
But Jean was not discharged. She
seemed so anxious to please, and
improved rapidly in her work.
One day when Bradbury was walk !
ing home with Jean he asked: How
do you get along with the old MANI"

ring of admiration in the girls voice.
Was it possible she was falling in love
with a man twice her age? He con-
Guided it must be looked into. Pos
sibly Hardness had made advances
to her He determined to find out.
He made frequent trips past the Of
flee door when it was open. He even
made excuses to get inside, but he
never saw anything the least suspi-
ciOus in the behavior of the head of
the firm. One day he ventuTed to ask
Mr.. Hardness if Jean was giving sat
isfactiOn. He answered in a cOldly
bUsinesslike way that she was.
AS time went on the young man
became convinced that Jean had
something more than admiration for
his employer. There were two i'm
pOrtant reasons why this should not
go on. 1t was surely a useless, hope
less idea for Jean to cherish. He felt
that the girls life should not be sad
dened by such a love. Besides, he
had made up his mind that he would
marry her himself.
AS an old and valued employee he
felt he, had the right to consult Mr..
Hardness on the subject.
1t was not an easy matter to ap-
proach, but after some stammering
he plunged in. He believed he had
good reason to know that his stenOg-
rapheT had grown to care for him
more than was good for her peace Of
mind. Mr.. Hardness face expressed
amazement. He assured Mr. Brad
bury he had not noticed anything of
the kind Hardness was not in the
least erOtiC looking. His nose was
too stubby But there was a fine
breadth of brow, and his clean-shav-
en- mouth was firm and kind. Mr..
Bradbury insisted something must
be done to cure the girl. Mr.. Hark-
ness agreed with him.
