What Every Man Knows
i wasn't gone very long on this sec
ond excursion into the woozy-woozies
though it was nighttime. and the
shaded electric light was turned on
when opened my eyes and found
Mrs Sheila sitting by the bedside.
The change in Mrs. Sheila sort Of
made me gasp. She wasn't any less
pretty as she sat there with her hands
clasped in her lap, but she was diff
ferent; sober, and with the laugh all
gone out of the big gray eyes. and

become so wise that nobody could

her.

rejoined, folding up the bed covers SO
that the bandaged hand would rest

"They went to the hotel" she helped
out. .Mr. Ripley says they sat in the

OF course, knew that Mr.. Ripley
knew all about the Hatch ruction;
but if he hadn't told her, l wasn't go

into court and swear to what know !"
He was halfway out of the door
when got through, and he never
made any sign that he heard what I
said. After he was gone / began to
sense, just little, how big fool I
had made of myself. But was still
mad clear through at the idea that
he had taken me for the other kind Of
a fool-the kind that wouldn't know
enough to be sure that the president

was sitting by the window. Before

Anyway it was stacked up, it made
a three-cornered puzzle, needing some
body ITO tackle it right away; and

I was going to turn out early in the
morning and get busy

morning. and when / phoned to Mr..
Van Britt he sent his car out to tho
majors to take me down to the Office.
Just before I left the house, Mrs.
Sheila waylaid me, and after telling
me that l must be careful and not
take cold In the burnt hand, she put
in another word about the boss dis
appearance.
II want you to remember what !
said last night, Jimmie, and not let
the others talk you over into the be-
lief that Mr.. Norcross has gone away
because he was either discouraged or
afraid. He wouldn't do that: yea
know it. and l know it. We are hiD
friends, you and l, and we must stand
by him and defend him when he isn't
here to defend himself"
1t did me good to hear her talk
that way. / had been sort of getting
ready to dislike her for letting tho
boss get in so deep and not telling
him straight out that she was mar
ried woman and he mustn't; but
when saw that she was trying to DO
just as loyal to him as I was, it pulled
me over to her side again.
Though the boss disappearance was
now four days old. things were stllk
in a sort of daze down at the rail-
road offices. MFR. Van Britt, being the
general superintendent and next In
command, had moved over into tho
boss office, and Fred May was doing
his shorthand work. They wouldn't
let me do anything much-I couldn't
do much with my right arm in Q
sling-so l had a chance to hang
around and size up the situation. II
You want to know how 1t sized up.
you can take it from me that 1t was
prettysb bad. People all along the line
were bombarding Mr.. Van Britt with
letters and kilograms wanting to know
what was going to be done. and what
the change in management was GO
ing to mean for the public, and all
that, You see, Mr. Norcross had LAID
out a mighty attractive program in
the little time he had been at the
wheel. and now it looked as II 1t was
all going to be dumped into the ditch.
