He didn't believe in petting the
people who worked for him !,
asking after their health and
giving them raises in their salary
and such fool things! Not he!
There was more work than
usual that afternoon, as it hap
pened. and the shadows were long
and blue before Sally started home
at z.
AS she opened the door of the
flat with her latch.key and
stepped into the hall she could
hear, Beau talking on the tele-
phone.
His voice was loud and deep, ami

CHE went out into the kitchen to
- squeeze lemons and, oranges
for Mabel's punch, and the feet
that were usually so light and
swift dragged a little.
That noon when Sally reached
the top floor of the Nye-Naylor
Building, she went straight to the
door of John Nye's office and
turned the knob.
1t did not open. 1t was locked.
well. of all thingsr' Sally said
It aloud. and then knocked
smartly on the door.
There was no answer.
She knocked again. Still no
answer.
Then, as Sally was turning
away to go into Mr.. Peevey's
little room, a sudden illuminating
thought came to her John
Nye and Mile had gone out to
lunch together! That must be
why the door was locked and
the office empty. That must be
why --
Good morning." she said to
Mr.. Peevey so spiritlessly that he

coffee on to boil and to cut the
bread for breakfast.
That hour was the pleasantest
time for the whole day for her.
She took leisurely bath, did her
"upsetting exercises, manicured
her nails, brushed her hair until
1t shone like blue black satin, and
set her room to rights.
1t belonged to her-that hushed
hour before the rest of the family
was up and stirring. Before the
day with its endless jobs for
Mrs. Jerome and the twins, for
Mr.. PeeVey, engulfed her.
But on the morning after
Mabel's party Sally woke up long
before O'Clock. The dawn was
still pearly-white outside the win
dows and a cool breeze shook the
ruffled curtains of the room.
She woke with the memory of
a dream still hazy in her mind
a dream about John Nye!
Now, why under the sun
should be dreaming about him?"
Sally asked herself as the dream
came back to her, bit by bit, like
the parts of puzzle-picture.
She had dreamt that she was
in a restaurant, all aolne at a
little table. Next to her were two
other people, man and woman.
In her dream she had turned her
head stealthily to see who they
were, and had seen John Nye and
de Al
little table where they sat. AS
she watched them they had leaned
toward each other. and John Nye
had kissed Mile squarely on the
mouth.
After that point Sally could
remember nothing more of the
dream. But there was a very
real feeling of jealousy in her
heart as she lay there in the
dawn-coolness, thinking about it.
1t seemed to her that she still
could see John Nye's dark, good
looking face as he had leaned
towards Mile in the dream. And
it came to her, in a binding
flash, that the reason she was
jealous was because she was in
love with John Nye! It had taken
the dream to show her the truth
that she had been hiding from
herself for two days; that she had
fallen in love with him suddenly,
blindly and foolishly-the way q
woman falls in love just once in
her life, no matter how many
little love affairs she may have
before and after that once!

them in all sorts of ways. The

could hear bursts OF shrill wild
laughter every now and then above
the music of the monograph. Once
Mile screamed at the top of her
voice, and there came the distant
sound Of a glass crashing to pieces
on the kitchen floor.
There's so cents gone for
goodr thought Sally, who had to
pay for these things usually. "Oh,
dear, I hope they're not drink
ing! They shouldn't"
But she fell asleep soon after
10 o'clock, with all the noise and
clamor at its height around her.
She had been up for Is hours and
she was worn out.
She didn't know what time 1t
was when a sudden flood OF

eyes.
Beau's girl, Mabel, had come

True to his word, he went to

He appeared at the door of
,Sally's room at z, fully dressed
and looking the picture of misery.
What on earth are you doing,

when she saw him. Usually Beau
had to be literally dragged from

all at once it came to her that he
had spent It all on liquor for
Mabel's party.
