''As matter of seniority, Miss Duns-

ton of chief stenographer, at an adj
vance of ten dollars month";"
Mary Dunston looked pleased, but
acted confused and embarrassed. She
did not express herself and John Ross,
the office manager, began to frown.
His face hardened. for he fancied that
Miss Dunstan was preparing to demur
over the compensation allowed.
1--WE consider the raise substantial
one," he spoke.
'Oh, 1t isn't that. 1t is more than
expected, and perhaps deserved. But
If may speak of it. Mr.. Ross, could

Strict disciplinarian and man Of bus

Mary as though she had taken leave

for crippled brother in hospital"
"H'mi' snorted Mr.. Ross, who did
not at all like Miss Elson. "She has

as if her head would burst with pain
from listening to the ringing.
For lunch she had an ice cream,
hardly nourishing to a tired clerk.
Z During the afternoon how her head
throbbed. Would the public ever stop
buying alarm clocks? "Yes'm." Frances
remembered saying, 'this alarm rings

Frances opened her eyes in a room
she had often read about, room that
existed for her only in story books
cretonne curtains, a little enameled
bed, cool white paper and nurse.
Surely, this was a dream. The nurse
explained that R & Co. had re-
served q room at the hospital for any
of their clerks 'wSo might become Ill.
This was news indeed, for the firm
never had the reputation of being over
kind-hearted.

Frances K simply detested her
alarm clock. Every morning it brought
her back from dreams of green fields
and babbling brooks to brick tenement
1t Impressed on her that R & Co.
expected every clerk behind the coun-
ter at s 80 sharp.
Although the mirror said her face
was getting thinner, Frances blamed
1t on the new style of hairdreSsing. In
another ten days she would have her
weeks vacation, while afternoons in
the park would soon put the color In
her cheeks again, she told herself.
She wondered If David B, the
new manager, noticed. Frances smiled
afterwards. Just as if he could keep
track of a half thousand salesgirls'
tired looks.
Surprising he did ask her to share
his umbrella to the elevated station the
last rainy evening-it merely showed
he was gentleman. Nevertheless, she
knew she was about the last girl to
ieuTe the store.
"Guess you'll have to set your alarm
cock little earlier" was Mrs. H-'s
greetings as Frances came down late
to breakfast.
Scarcely ten minutes after her ar
rival at the store, David B APP
preached the counter. Miss K"
he said, 1--WE are having a special sale
on alarm clocks today. Miss M is
out sick. VIII you please take charger
Frances had no recollection of reply

planning how to regulate the clock, and
try her utmost she could not keep the
naming color from her cheeks.

toned remarks as to her being a sim
pletOn.
One day while they were at luncheon
at restaurant, just as they arose
from table, Blanche accosted a
young man passing them. Mary was
introduced TO Mr. Arthur Holmes, who
| spoke a few words to both as they
went their way and then took a chair
| at the table they had just vacated. He
was serious-faced but frank-eyed
young man, and did not seem at all
| In harmony with the free, overhead
ly manner Of Blanche; but Mary
| seemed to have q decided interest for
| him.
Il worked for Mr.. Holmes once" ex-
planned Blanche.
Somehow the memory Of Mr.. Holmes
was pleasant one with Mary. She
had reached home and was getting
ready for tea when there came a ring
at the door. Mary. quite fiustered,
| faced Arthur Holmes, hat in hand.
Pardon my unceremonious CALL" he
said, "but after you left the restaurant
l found purse lying on chair Some
money and your card were inside and
l have taken the liberty Of returning
| It,"
| Mary had not missed the purse. She
thanked Mr.. Holmes and was not sor-
! ry to escape the loss of several dol
lars. She asked him In and her moth
er invited him to remain at their eve
ming meal. Mr.. Holmes fingered for
an hour after that and, with Mary's
| consent, promised to call again the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
A change came over Mary Dunston
after that. Blanche had offended most
/ of the office employees with her queen
| ~ airs, affecting the rightful domina-
tion of superior. She rather ignored
Mary and then. bit by bit, the latter
began to discover the true character
Of the girl she had benefited
/ 'She has fooled you sadly and
| meanly, Miss Dunston" fellow en-
ployee told Mary. "She has no Grip
) pied brother, she spends more than
half she earns at dances. cabarets and
the like. and she sneers at you behind
your back as silly fool whom she has
| duped."
Mary was grieved and hurt. but
there was compensation for the base
4 betrayal. Arthur Holmes had become
regular caller at the Dunston home.
He was Mary's first steady caller and
new life of pleasant rational enjoy
ment was begun in his CHEEKY, courte-
| Gus companionship.
"Oh,s Miss Dunston," one day said
the same girl employee who had
spoken to her before, Miss Elson has
been discharged for nonattention to
/ work."
| you surprise me-" said Mary.
"Yes, and she left last evening In a
| great huff. And what do you think !
| saw her later coming out of caba-
ret. quite unsteady. SO to speak. and
the young man have seen you with SO
much was helping her into cab"
A death blow seemed dealt to dear
Mary's trusting heart. Blanche Elson
had not only stolen from her advance
ment, but had robbed her of her lover
This was the crushing thought thai
tormented her all day.
But with eventide Arthur Holmes
called upon her. He told of coming
across Blanche while with Q party of
friends and out Of pity for her condi-
ton saw her home and tried to infiu-
enee her sister to take better care of
| her.
And Mary forgaye Blanche, for was
it not through the hayward Blanche
Elson that she had met Arthur
Holmes. and now knew how dearly
