Perhaps nothing else could have so
completely restored the equanimity
of Joanna. Somehow 1t brought her
back to a realization of her fitness to
meet and conquer all things-either
her boss chauffeur after 10, or her
boss banker before noon.
All the confidence in the world
clustered under the shimmering gold
brown of her ultra-modish bob as she

The same analyticai observer would

The Same analytical observer would
have said OF Eggleston, arbtter OF
many of the worlds most important
affairs. that he was a man who had
lived a life in which women had been
a useless ornament.
When Joanna was out Of the pres
ence Of Graydon and the quiet ef-
faciveness Of his secretary, a quiet
ness and an efficiency that both de-
pressed and fascinated her, her dazed
numbneSs quickened suddenly into a
feverish excitement. That she had
become ghost in some fantastic
masquerade she was sure. But the
thrill of it made her pulses leap. She
wanted to rush to the silk counter and
confide her amazing mystery to her
chums there; even to confront MIR.
Good Morning." with a pose that
would achieve its climax with the
bankers letter under his nose. Then
she decided that such a display would
be premature. BY this time she was
at the street entrance. The first test
had come. The "Old Man" had told
her to ask the doorman for his car,
which, he had said, would be waiting
for her at the curb. She decided to
try it.
To her amaZement the doorman,
seemed to expect her. A wave of his
hand brought the limousine to the
space opposite where she waited.
The "Old Mans" chauffeur descended
and help open the door. AS she ap-
preached him her eyes widened. He
touched his cap. When she would
have looked at her letter to find the
address, he interrupted:
Il know where, miss. Mr.. Graydon
gave me instructions. It's to the
bank"
Never before. it seemed to Joanna.
had a car taken so long to go
wherever it was headed for. Yet,
really, the chauffeur threaded traffic
skillfully. Joannas excitement turned
suddenly to panic when she realized
that her driver was holding his arm
to ease her to the pavement, with
the arched stone portals Of the bank
looming in front of her. A doorman
responded to a sign from the driver.
There was low word between them.
The doorman touched his cap.
II am to take you to Mr.. Eggle-
ston's rooms, miss" he said, with a
Difference which Joanna recognized at
once. Eggleston, she understood. was
the man she was to see. The utter
drama of it all appalled, her again.
She looked into the chauffeur's face
and caught there a CLEAN of under
standing that. after all, she was just
girl of the shops whose tinseled
glory, whose ornaments, airs and
fashions were only gaudy limitations
of the fancied vogue of smart de-
hutantes. She grasped at him as a
friend.
Tell me-" she pleaded, startling

there'd be a catch in it. What's the
rest?'
The man only shook his head. rather
sadly, as If he suffered a little before
the spectacle Of a girl, fresh and
young and lovely, who must ever be
on the lert for 1.-The catch in it,
There are no obligations" he said,
still shaping his words slowly.
"The stupendous gift is yours
without conditions. Is that the word
you would have me use-conditions?"
Before this rebuff Joanna again was
speeChless. Graydon went on:
You may not even ask u question.
In return, none will be asked Of you.
1t is possible that you shall never
know the name of your benefactor.
L know his reasons. I know the
motives. But l may not reveal them
to you. l may only say. and l hope
you will have a little trust in me-
that you need have no trouble and
that there is nothing unpleasant
about your mystery"
Joanna sank to her chair. you
:nean," she persisted. You mean that
some one-some one l don't even
know-has made me rich and that 1
don't have to-that he won't ask Of
me" She could not go on. All
her reasonings. her wisdoms, her
safeguards were beaten away as If
they were futile things. She heard
Graydon say what still maddened her
because of the puzzle in it; because
it left her helpless:
You will not be asked to give any
thing"
The office door opened. Graydon
had touched the buZZer and the secre-
tary entered-the strangely soft
hammered, unobtrusiVe girl in whom
Joanna had first seen utter unattrac-
tiveness, but who had caused her to
wonder, after a bit, If her own lips
were not a little too scarlet.
On the girls arm was Joanna's
wrap and in her hand was Joanna's
hat. 1t was the same fur wrap
Joanna had thought to be in direful
risk of the pawnshop when Graydon
summoned her from the silk counter,
presumably to her dismissal for
some unknown offense. The hat was
the one still unpaid for.
The sudden sight of the flneries she
could not afford, either to have or
not to have, sent her into torrent
of hysterical laughter. Graydon gave
the secretary hasty sign. Both
waited until the girl in the chair
quieted, her laughter dying away in
stif1ed sobs. The secretary moved
toward her then and held her wrap.
Automatically Joanna drew the cloak
around her slender figure. Then she
fixed her hat. Suddenly she turned,

tempted to keep his friend Graydon
on the line.
What did she say? How did she
take it? Did she-that-is-well,
damn 1t. man! Is that all you have
to say? That your sales clerk is
coming down to get a million dollars?"
Egglestons chief reputation in
financial marts was for his irascible
temper. He floundered dreadfully be.
fore the. futility of spluttering into a
telephone. But Graydon would not
humor him.
Her emotions at the moment, my
friend, hardly are of much conse-
quence. At any rate. l fancy she
will not have recovered from them
by the time she reaches the bank
Then you may estimate them for
yourself"
The banker sought suitable phrases
with which to express his irritation
at his friends reserve. Failing to
find them, he clicked his receiver
abruptly. Also he relieved himself Of
a we'll rounded, sonorous oath.
A much younger man, who idled in
the embrasure of a window across
the room. laughed softly. THE ad-
venture begins to interest you," this
man remarked. Il hope for your
sake, it becomes worth while
Eggleston glared at the younger
man sharply but deigned him no re-
ply. He turned 70 the papers on the
table before him.
Brandon, the man in the window,
resumed his inspection of the pano-
rama of the street outside. An OBJ
server, studying his face, would have
traced on it the specters of cynicism
and would have concluded that they
stamped him as one who harbored
the conviction that he knew all sorts
of women and classified them none
too pleasantly.
