1t is quite likely that 1 should have

less adroit. For the sake Of the two
girls thrust into the limelight, 1 might
well have interviewed to protect them
from an avalanche of notoriety, abuse,

In that case, j should have expected
to be criticized by some people for

Your sister las taken up her secre-

The question was brutal. not be

reason that it suggested comparison.
A secretary may be very important

States have secretaries, who are
commonly more important that
cabinet officers. If they were not,
they would be abolished. A clerk
may also be important, but the title
lacks something. There is nothing
robust or dignified about it. "Secre-
tary Jones" is a parsonage, even if
he is colorless and insipid as warm

drew deep breath. The Brooke

1t did not add to the peace of
Billy's mind to discover what he

Alice made the initial discovery

Alice made the initial discovery
the very first day. She was home
from school early, and, glancing in
at the library as she passed through
the hall, was rooted in her tracks by
the spectacle of Constance standing
at a file-case with her hands full of
papers. The efficiency man was at
her elbow and was talking glibly
about something Alice could not
hear the words. 1t was the atten-
tive, almost eager, attitude of Con-
stance that chiefly amazed her.
Whatever Connie was doing, she
was doing willingly-and she was
taking orders
The younger sister stole upstairs,
prey to perplexity and foreboding.
What she had seen was beyond all
belief. 1t was such an inexplicable
thing that she did not even dare to
share the secret with Billy, Tar less
to mention the discovery to Con-
stance. But it kept Alice awake for
at least an hour after she went to
bed.
Billy did not become aware of any
unusual development until the day
following. 1t was the middle of the
forenoon when he Numbered into the
library, intending to make a final
plea for gasoline money. Constance
was sitting at the desk, and the eff

involuntarily.

Hedge was saying. "To notify the

down.

The question was iisconcerting,
and Billy instinctively quailed under
it.

coldly. "What was the last, Mr.

Buck upw she whispered to her
self. "Play the part. This is where

The efficiency man waited polite

She steeled herself to the task,
summoned all the Spartan in her ma
ture, and smiled at him.

it came so suddenly that the eff

steady himself against the desk. He
had been prepared for battle mt alb
ject surrender.
"Why-er-yes," he said "Glad
to show you. There's lot of back
work. you know"
Constance, working at the other
side of the library table, was a dis
concerning vision, even to an effici-
ency man. There was a freshness in
! her cheeks that suggested a rose
garden. Her gray eyes were steady
and serene. Tendrils of hair curled
about her ears in a unique way, H.
Hedge, decided, for he could not re-

Never a word passed about Tommy
Treadwell. The new secretary had
apparetly forgotten the matter in
the intense absorption of her work.
