Miss Minnick answered, with a
squeak Of excitement. For years
she had wanted Mary Rose Mid

Not only was ii the best job in
the works for girl, but far

For years she had hated Doris

And there was no dou.t that

hicks final decision.
Before she went into John
Manners office, Mary Rose tele-
phoned her mother to find out II
there was any news of Flossie.
But there wasn't.
She hung up the receiver, and
powdered her face in her little
vanity mirror before she went

was no flicker OF either sorrow or
resentment or anything else IN
her eyes. She had learned to
look at him as he looked at her
stonily. Ard all Of the time she
was longing to put her arms
around him and tell him how
mich she loved him and that
she didn't care about life If she
had to go away from him.
Being woman. and a woman
in love, she said the thing that
was farthest from her thoughts:
I'm leaving the Dexter Com
pany, Mr.. Manners.
"A thrill Of keen joy swept
through her at the look he gave
her then. For just an instant
she saw. from his face. that what
she had said had startled and
aisnlayed him. Then, like shades
drawn over a window, the stony
look OF Indifference came down
over his face.
