CHAPTER 512 Copyright, 1920. King Features Syn. diCafe Tho

On the very day after I'd talked to Carl Booth about Max HoadIey's sug- sestion that go into the advertising business on my own account Carl ar ranged an interview for me with the head of the Derringforth Shoe Co.
 The only time MT. Derringforth had free was the luncheon hour So Carl escorted me to the restaurant where our prospective client wished me to come, just as he'd have ex- pected of a man he was planning to employ as advertising consultant
 I found the man with whom I had to deal forceful and impersonaI He explained that he had a small but fourishing business which he'd inher- ited from a conservative father and which he wanted to make a concern of national renown- l felt at once that I could get on very comfortably with this pleasant. terse little man, Whose honest brown eyes and ner- vous, twitching lips were set in a gray and homely face not lacking in power and certain fndomitable quality.
 ! By the end of the luncheon hour We had made our business arrange ments. I was to work on a percent age basis. All the Derringforth ad- vert1sing would be placed through me
 
 through the advertising campaigns Success there would be more adver- Using and my percentage would in- Grease in turn. I could see that 1t was up to me and that if I succeeded, I'd have a. chance to grow with the business and to have a contract of no mean proportions.
 On my return to Haldane's I called Max Hoad1ey to tell him that I'd fully d od O haNn01a o5 lei, sultant and that I was ready to talk terms. .f
 "Then Booth is satisfied to let you go?" croaked Max Hoadley with an ''I-toId-you-so' quality in his voice.
 Mot only satified." I chuckled, but he takes a bless-you-my-childr at titude toward the venture and has made it a little more of a sure thing by getting me a. second client at once. I'm handling the Derringforth Shoe copy, too. That is what made me de- eide so promptly.
 Pretty honest, ain't your" asked the voice from the other end of the wire. There was som mething I could not quite explain in it's slow empha- sis. 'But you wouldn't want to go ahead without me?'' it added, with a note which actually sounded abject- coaxfng.
 NO, 1 wouldn't, 1 laughed And I'm not forgetting whose inspiration this was. So don't get the idea that. I've been acting in a h-lhanded manner and that my closing with the second client before consulting my first means I belittle the inporta nee of his business"
 "I feel better now" replied Max HoadIey with what I took for an at tempt at joviality. May I come over in a. couple of hours-say about to conclude our arrangements?'
 "Pn be glad to have you do so," said, a little astonished at the rapidity with which I was being whirled ahead.
 I could see that in this new venture my feminine viewpoint might be use fuI in writing copy-but in all other departments I'd have to think with out personal emphasis just men do As a, matter of fact, there was sense of freedom and of relief in the idea that I'd be compelled by the very nature of my work to be keen, alert and-impersonal.

From behind a grating the man
peered at them doubtfully. Brom-
field showed a card, and after some
hesitation on the part of his inquisi-
tor, passed the examination. Toward
Clay the ~doorkeeper jerked his head
Hes all right" the clubman
vouched.
Again there was a suspicious and
lengthy scrutiny.
The door opened far enough to let
them slide into a scantily furnished
guard,"a heavy, br~utal-looking fellow
who was no doubt the "chucker-out."
/ He, too, looked them over closely, but
after a glance at the card drew aside
to let them pass.
Through a door near thehhead Of
the stairs they moved into "a large
room, evidently made from several
smaller mes with the partitions tori
down and the ceilings pillared at in
tervals.

ttidious as Brom1eld should patrontze

AT the end of n room was a marble
mantelpiece above which there was a
defaced, gilt-frame mirror. The chan
del.ers, the chairs, he wallpaper, all
suggested the same note of one-time
,opulence worn to shabbiness.
A game of Klondike was going.
{ There were two. s6ulette wheels, q
