success.
Everyone's part was carried out
well. Some of the characters who
deserve special mention were Miss
Matte Will Powell as the groom,
Master Douglas Harris as ring bear

The dance given by Mrs. Sam Nc

most heartily applauded and we

to help US out again in our next

furnished by Misses Lasco Harvey,

you'd been saying l couldn't have,
And I've made you break your rules
a dozen times, until it has become
positively monotonous."
A dull red crept into the cheeks of
H. Hedge, but Constance was re-
morseless. The two chapters on the
perfect type had proved to be the
final turning point. She was burning
her bridges now.
Just playing with you," she re-
peated. And your whole wonderful
system went to smash under it. And
you thought you were reforming me /!
1t was so easy to lead you, too. You
never even suspected. You were so
sure that you wrote it all down, so it
could be put in book. A book! |
think I'll write one myself. How
would you like to be the hero of my
book, Mr. Efficiency Man."
Hedge made no answer
well, why don't you say some
thing?" she demanded.
I'm waiting for you to get
through, Miss Brooke"
She made a sudden dash to the
table and seized the manuscript
notes in her hands, waving them a
loft with a hysterical gesture.
"Seew she cried. Here's for your
bookw
She tore the pages across and toss
ed them into the open fire. An in
slant later the diary followed them.
The efficiency man did not make an
effort to stay her hands.
For a full half-minute she faced
him, her bosom heaving, her eyes a
light with excitement.
There! That's the end of that"
she exclaimed. You'll never put me
in a book! Il"
Her voice broke abruptly, and she
was shaken by tempest of weeping.
H. Hedge surveyed her quietly and
Leaning Imply forward in the
desk chair, she buried her face in
her arms and continued to sob.
The efficiency man watched ner
for a moment, alternately frowning
and smiling. He had promised her a
talk, but he was uncertain about the
beginning of it, even though ne had
clear notion of the ending.
"Miss Brookew he snapped
She did not look up.
Are you listening, Miss Brooke"
There was a faint nod, although
she did not raise her head from the
desk.
YOU'D better listen" he said grim
| ly. Because everything is going to
eternal smash in the next ten min
utes. This is judgement Day, and
we are going to get what is coming
| to both of us-pronto!'
| Still she did not stir. But she was
listening in spite of her sobs.
"Pronto means all-of-a-sudden,

There was brief pause in which
he devoted more study to the coil
of brown hair.
"All bets are off, Miss Brooke, Do

She heard, but made no acknowl-
edgement of the mystifying intelli-
gence.

The efficiency man was prompt,
and evidently expectant. When he
walked briskly into the room he was
smiling happily. He knew that, no
matter how coy or whimsical the
young lady might be, she could not
turn off daylight by pressing but
ton. H. Hedge told himself that the
moment was at hand.
He stopped abruptly as he saw her,
and there was swift questioning n
his look. Constance was pointing
with a rigid arm at the manuscript
on the desk.
did you writ that?" she asked
grimly.
He followed the direction of her
gesture, readily identified the manu-
script at glance, and nodded.
"And you dare even to think that
you are going to publish it?"
Constance had abandoned all of
the carefully plotted campigan. No
more stealth now; it was war in the
open.

swift change to his most efficient
manner.

verse our positions, Miss Brooke"
He decided that it would not be
fitting, under the circumstances, to
say Connie.
The type of the idle rich surveyed
him with a stabbing glance of scorn.
"My father will deal with you"
she said in a tense voice.
Lets not talk about that. It's
futile. And please remember that, to
all intents and purposes, for the time
being, l am your father And by
what authority do you examine my
personal papers?"
Constance did not condescend TO
explain. She eyed him for several
seconds from head to foot, and TO
his credit it must be admitted that ne
withstood the scrutiny with courage.
Suddenly she burst into laughter;
but it was not of the friendly, mlrth-
provoking kind that invites accom-
paniment.
"What fool you are" she ex-
claimed.

ITS got me stumped." c. B. Hunt.
engineer Of highways, admitted today.
Il can only venture two possible, but
not probable explanations for the
curves. The first is that the street
curbing, which was laid originally on
filled ground. may have sunken in
places 50 that the street level. paral
leling the curb line, also was affected
by the depressions, and the other Is
that the 'screed or leveling-off plank
became warped. The former is ex-
tremely improbable. because the un-
dulations are too regular. The latter
might have happened. although
can't see why the waves don't con
tinue the whole length of the street"
Mr.. Hunt remarked, however, that
1t was possible "screed' was found
defective after 1t had been used over
a portion Of the road, and was then
replaced with true one. If this was
the case he has been unable to verify
1t, he added.
Mr.. Hunt has been advised that a
section of the concrete paving on Con
necticut avenue, near the Bureau of
