His look belied his words. Henry
thought. His eyes. smoldering. gazed
out across the room. There was rood
for thought. for John and his friends,
perhaps. In the look Of them.
Many persons less given to analysis
than Henry Craven had speculated
during the past half-dozen years about
the relation between Joe Greer and
Jennie Macarthur. They saw. just as
Henry did. that 1t differed somehow
from the accepted standard for i'm.
portant. busy employers and their ef-
ticlent. infallible secretaries.
Jennie was competent, and long ago
she had made herself indispensable.
But that was only the beginning of 1t.
She took to Joe from the start. What
appeared to others as his truly in.
fernal temper never worried Jennie a
bit.
He could think harder and faster
than anybody else. and a long success
sion of contacts with muddled minds
| or irresolute wills drove him every
now and then frantic. Her method
with him was to let him rave until he
got the worst of 1t out of his system,
and then grin at him. She learned
the trick of tOning down his letters
without making them sound tame and
colorless, and before she'd worked for
him year. he'd given up debating al.
together.
You're the only stenographer in
the world,' he said to her. aprOpos of
some such performance as this. go
to the bookkeeper and tell him your
salary Is fifty dollars week. ANY
time you think that isn't enough, say
so. but don't you dare leave me on

He added. You're not thinking Of go
Ing on and getting married. are you ?"
| When she told him she wasn't, he
gave a sort Of satisfied grunt which
carried with 1t the Implication that
she'd better not try.
When he formed his company for
the manufacture OF airplane parts.
he made her secretary of 1t and fixed
her salary at six thousand a year. In
every ramification of his business in
terests he gave her his whole conf.
dence, which was something no one
else. she was sure, shared with her
for he was naturally suspicious and
secretive.
During the whole seven years. from
the day when she'd first gone into his
private office to the day of the direc.
tors meeting that Henry Craven at.
tended, she had never considere,
leaving Joe. Shed spoiled him. She'd
endured much. She had occasionally
fiared up to match the red of her hair
and driven some rebuking homo
truths into him. But. on the whole
she'd enjoyed herself enormouslv
