CHAPTER TX.

CHAPTER TX.
TT was on the Saturday after
I noon before Christmas that
old Mr.. WalIack called Honey
Lou to him and gave her a
Christmas present.
He was scowling at her from
Behind his big mahogany desk
when she opened the door and
stepped into his office.
No one knows a man any better
than his private secretary does,
and in the six months she had
worked for him, Honey Lou had
come TO understand all of
"Grumpy's' scoWls. This one
was his good-natured scowl, and
barely hid twinkle in his sharp
little eyes.
He was holding a little white
envelope in his hands, and when
Honey Lou came up to his desk
he held it out to her.
Something for you." he said
20 her in his short, gruff way.
Take it along and buy yourself
= Christmas present with it."
Honey Lou looked down at the
envelope and then back at him.
Then she shook her head.
II can't take money from you
money that / don't earn" she
told him slowly. and laid the little
envelope down on his desk. He
threw up his head. glared at her
and brought his fist down on the
top of the mahogany desk with
q resounding thud.
And why not? Don't be a
fool. young woman" he roared.
I'm old enough to be your
father-and my wife knows I'm
giving you this money. Now pick
1t up and take it--and don't
bother me any more about it."
A Spirited Girl
But Honey Lou did not touch
the money. She shook her head
again.
Don't be fool yourself" she
retorted. and CLEAN that
matched the CLEAN in his own
eyes came into hers. 81 just
can't take money from anybody
from you or anybody else"
And she turned on her heel and
marched out of the office.
A half minute later she opened
the door again.
Please don't think I'm un.
grateful" she said quietly. I'm
not. You don't know how happy
1t makes me to know that you
thought of me-that you wanted
TO give me a Christmas gift"
It wasn't quite clear to Honey
Lou herself why she hadn't been
able to take the gift. Perhaps
It was because she didn't want
to take money from Jack Wal
lacks father.
Perhaps it was because the Hunt.
