In this way she started with VIII

She was one of three requirements

those about her in the huge Office she
learned the reason therefor. Chaun-

married and all that and pretends to
to be a woman hater, but the speed
with which he sometimes dispenses
with girl is misleading"
| Grace worked with dull interest.
She wondered what the new employer
was like. And If Sadie was right,
she wouldn't weather the storm long.
Several days elapsed before she
was told by the manager to take die
tation from Mr.. Villers. He seemed
| to dwell upon the name as though in
carefully built-up respect he admired
the owner. Grace took a hurried
| glance into a mirror as she moved
toward the sanctum. She wilted.
Curtains for this opportunity, sure
| ly! He would probably be incensed
and discharge her without prelimi-
nary. Her tongue was dry and Glove
to the roof of her mouth, and she
realized again that personality, her
other vital need, was a thing entirely
foreign.
BY the time she was in the oger's
presence she was belligerent. She
hated him. Hoped he would dis
charge her after a piercing glance to
prove how he selected q girl. For a
few minutes his office would resound
with her outpourings. She'd go home
after this.

with a metallic click, suggestive that
he not only had something to say. but
knew how to do so. Although she
was distrustful, Grace made notes
with vim. When Villers had finished
he turned away.
II want all those in the mail this
evening; not tomorrow. Under

Yes" assented quietly.
She worked an hour overtime to
complete the letters and went home
thoroughly tired and in a quandary
How long would Chauncy Villers toll

Next day when the manager in

the chief she went disdainfully into
the private office. She came out a
minute later, not disdainful at all and
crying unrestrainedly.

beat it? l didn't do a thing"
Grace Harmon smothered a desire
to laugh. But she felt pity for the
other; besides she herself might be
next. A few minutes afterward the
bustling business manager ap-
preached her.
MIR. Villers wants you," he ad-
vised.
She went in with willing alacrity.
If he was on a rampage she'd take
her medicine without a word, and
she wouldn't be hysterical when she
left.

"Of course" Grace replied calmly.

admitted she was an efficient ste
nographer, and when she rendered
her resignation his generous salary
offer proved that efficiency was the
quality he desired. Personality and
looks" he apparently ignored.
This was the way Grace's Is years
reasoned. She knew well her short
comings, regarding what she consid-
cred the two essentials In a woman
of the business world. The mirror
told her fatty that she could never
be pretty and she simply couldn't de-
velop personality. Backward when a
girl, she made few friends and with
years reticence grew. In the pres
ence of others she was i'll at ease,
strain as she might to overcome the
fault. And SO, annoyed by failure,
she concluded to eliminate it some
how, and insisted upon acceptance of
her resignation.
Now the atom.
She secured a position, or so it was
advertised, by initiating the we'll
known early bird. She responded in
person to the ad before Marvel Choc-
olates, Inc, opened it's doors for the
day. She got along we'll during the
first week, taking orders from the
congenial chief clerk Then Rochelle
returned.
The manager occasionally had need
for a stenographer and Grace noted
his disappearing glances when she
was taking his letters. The confidence
sprouted by the chief clerk geniality
wilted like transplanted flowers in
the sun. Thenceforth a matter of
days till she resigned.
The next connection was with d
wholesale grocery house. The work
was not eXacting, the business being
operated ostensibly after a devil
may-care fashion. Her letters-were
mostly to creditors with accounts
long overdue and frequently were
merely forms. The young woman
was distressed by this Indifference
and soon gave 1t up.
She landed two positions and re-
linQuished them with startling pre-
cision. She could not understand the
ease with which she found opportu-
mites; had always looked upon this
angle as the chiefest bugbear to be
encountered in the city. 1t really
was in the grip Of prosperous times:
Grace thought not of this because
she was too solely concerned with

For this svGy TO stop
Colds

Some years ago a famous labora'
tory developed a remedy for colds.
1t proved itself quick, effective and
complete. 1t stopped colds in "a
hours. 1t checked the fever, Stopped
the headache, opened the bowels,
toned the system. So recovery from
the cold was prompt. The remedy
brought no i'll results, as quinine did
before.
That laboratory announces its
creations to physicians only. Most
people don't consult doctors on colds.
Millions of people who needed this
help did not learn about it.
So w. II. HILL secured that for
mula and called it HILLS Cascara-
Bromide-Quinine. He sent out mil
lions Of samples to prove its effects.
And he spent vast sums in telling
the fact to people who have colds.
AS a result countless homes came to
rely on it.
Then other men decided that more
people should know it. So they paid
