who for the past few years have been
located at 119 Fifth street, the fore

that seemed to scar her skin.

May did not wait to hear the end

The way back to Carlotta's bun

work for the first time in ten
years. Through Dan Sprague she

But most of all she hated Mr..

There was a Mr.. Harker, Junior
too. a pleasant youth who
blushed every time May looked at
him. And so she looked at him
great deal. 1t amused her to see
him blush.
But the elder Mr.. Harker was no
joke. He was man Of fifty-five or
thereabouts, with a red complexion
and bullying brown eyes.
While he talked to May of leases
and mortgages, those eyes slid over
her in the most evil way.

One day the inevitable occurred.
May had come in from lunch, and
had hardly seated herself at the desk
