Maybe he's just upset about some
thing" she thought. AS she sat
there. turning the things over and
over in her mind. Adolph, the office
boy, came along with the noon mail
in his grimy hands. He laid a
single letter down on Mary Rose
desk. Without word, he passed
on, whistling "Yearning" as he
went.
"Adolph, too, thinks I'm too bad
to be spoken tor Mary Rose
thought half with amusement and
half with bitterness for Adolph had
always been her special friend at the
office
He had brought her sandwiches
and coffee from the lunchroom
across the street. when it was too
rainy or cold for her to venture oui
at noon. He had kept her pencils
sharp and had taught her to whistle.
Presently he came back, carrying
a pile of stationery. He looked at
hor and she smiled at him. To her
surprise he grinned back. Scandal,
huh?" said Adolph in a hoarse
whisper. Been va npin' the boss and
his wife caught you at it. Huh?"
Mary Rose gave him a look he
never forgot. Then she picked up
her letter. 1t was a thick one, in an
envelope Of heavy white paper, with
her. name written across it in a fine
old-fashioned hand.

Miss Minnick gave her a cold stare
with her pale eyes between their
pale yellow lashes, HE seemed just
the same as usual to me-" she said,
and bent her head to her work.
Mary Rose remembered then that
Miss Minnick had been one of the
people who had wandered past the
doorN of Mr.. Dexter's office. when
Mrs. Dexter had been accusing her
Of stealing her husbands love.
Il suppose the whole office thinks
I've been running around with him"
she thought. Heavens, what a mess
but won't let myself care. They
can all go straight to the dickens!"
But she did carel She had al
ways been proud of her position in
that Office which was the center of
the universe to her. The girls had
all seemed to look up to her, to ask
her advice about things. She had
not had an enemy in the >place.
IT suppose that's what made John
so queer, too" she thought sud-
denly, and the thought stabbed like a
pain. Some ones told him that

from the boss wife,
Afterward, as she went back to
her own desk, she marvelled at her
courage in saying what she had said
to the wife of the president of the
Dexter Company, but it was the
truth, at that.
She thought of the woman's tear
stained face, and the tremulousness
of her mouth when she spoke to. her
husband. And then there came be-
fore her a vision of Flossie's pert,
gay little, features, her careless
laughter, and her finland boast that
''the Big Boss is bats about mep'
She was dreadfully sorry for Mrs.
Hilary Dexter!
She went in John Manners office.
He did not look up, even when she
crossed the room, and stood beside
