miss Monrpe-I say, Miss Monroel"
George Fairchild was impatient as he
stood at the threshold of his office
about to depart for a luncheon at a
business mems club.
"H'mT absently h'med Miss Mon |
roe, looking up from a folder that was
apparently more absorbing than her
employer at the moment.
"My, that must be interesting"
George Fairchild said little testify.
Listen, please, to what 1 have to
say, and don't forget. I don't expect
to be back until three or four. In the
meantime some boys will come over
from the Boys club. They are fitting
up their new headquarters and they've
made an appeal for old furniture and
pictures and things. No one will be
home at the house-my aunt Is still
at the shore and it's Hannah's day
out.
II went over things last night in my
rooms and 1 put some things in the
hall between the bedroom and my
study. They are things that are pretty
battered and I'll never want them
again. Glad to get rid of them, in
fact.
"In the other hall, from the study
to the main corridor, there are some
things to go to the repair man. Here's
the key to the house, and If the repair
man rings up and says he wants the
things, lock up here and go over and
show him what to take-and when the
boys come with a truck take them
along and show them their things.
That's perfectly clear, isn't 1t. Miss
Monroe"
"UmIhum," said Miss Monroe with
tagging attention as she took the keys
offered by her employer

seemed to be something of boylsh dis

Monroe noticed IL she did NOT snow IL.

closed the door she delVed even deeper
