abruptly, trying to smile. ut certainly

The gorge rose again in his throat.

Mother cried Katherine. philip
wouldn't so far forget himself and his
friends and position as to love-well-
if you can't keep your tongue still, go
upstairs"
This was a shock for Philip. That
any girl could speak to her own mother
in such a way was beyond his com
prehension. The door opened just then
and DR.. John walked in.
'She came down to tell me that
Paul wanted me and forgot it," he said
in a low tone. THE poor child is quite
overcome
Mrs. Curtis tossed her head and
rose from the table, and Katherine,
rising also, followed her mother out
of the room.
There was very little said between
the young man and his older friend
after the ladies had taken their de-
parture. but when Captain MacCauley
was ready to leave, he looked a%nxiously
at his companion.

studied the tip of her pretty shoe
Don't you. Tony, or if you don't,
couldn't you?" pleaded the boy.
81 like you heaps" she breathed
with suppressed emotion. She wanted
to throw her arms about him right
then. to tell him how she had longed
to be with him, all about her promise
that she would not leave the house
again without some one with her. She
was considering this when
81 wanted to ask you-if you've seen
that man again?' said Philip. 1.-THE

Tonnibel, a dimple peeping out at the
corner of her mouth. mo, never. |

her finally and her almost cursed
himself for his brutality. She had
gone so white and was looking about
her helplessly.

eyes. 'Mebbe he WILL"

Tony didn't understand why she
should promise this. and a whimsical
thought came into her mind that she
was always making promises to some
one, but she couldn't refuse him, AND
Philip went away a little happier n
feeling much more secure.

"And now she's hoodwinked Philip"
gulped Katherine. Cant you think
of some plan? Can't we claim she
steals or something like that?"
"John wouldn't believe it, especially
now that Reggie is coming home" was
the answer. His letter today said
he'd be here very soon. Everything
that happens in this house out OF the

: THE GIRL ON THE JOB /:
How to Succeed-How TO Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
Z By JESSIE ROBERTS
BUSINESS TRAINING |,

TOO many girls are willing to con-
L slider a course in stenography as
sufficient business training. To be
sure, there is q constant demand for
stenographers, but the girl who can
! possibly do so should study on a far
broader basis. A stenographer usual
ly sticks pretty steadily in the same
rank. 1t is the few only who rise to
important positions, who come to u
their own offices, or graduate into be-
ing private secretaries.
A sound business training is a most
valuable possession, The girl who has
it can afford to take chances. If she
is with a firm that shows no inclina-
ton to promote her, or to use her to
the best ability, she can quit and look
for another position and be sure to
find it. For, let it be said right here
and now, the girl who really knows
business methods, who is capable Of
managing an office, the girl who ear
take responsibility, who is accurate
and who makes full use Of her %intelli-
gence in business hours is still the
rare girl. Too many girls save their
real interest and their cieyerness for
the time spent outside the office. At
work they fall into a dull routine and
stay there, doing the anne thing day
in and day out, and doing it rather
worse as time goes on.
If you cannot get your business
training before you begin to earn your
living, do it afterward. Nowadays
there is plenty of opportunity. There
are extension courses and home
