 SOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHATTER IIN
 What really happened" sasd
 Nabrl, with triumphant gleam in E"r eyes. was this: Ddvy Davidson came up to sec Millc about 10 o'clock on the morning she left Mr. Yves office. Mr. Nya was late th.tt morning, and so Milli" took Dscvy into his private office. They were in there when AIr. Nye came in"
 N1L.1 .Ia I John Nye as "Millio's shaik," or "Milli"'s Johnny" had been ca Hing him "Mr. Nyc," in most respectful tones for two days now.
 Miss kress says that he walked straight into his private office" she went on, and Sally could see that she enjoyed knowing and telling all this gossip about Milic He left tho door open. and there sat NilIio on Davy's lap, with her arms around I'is neck and crying all over hinl--"
 'Cryng?" echoed Sally. her vio- lct-blue eyes wide open and filled with curiosity. What do you sup pose she was crying ahout?"
 Mabel shrugged her small shoul- dcrs. How should know what she vas crying about? ." she wanted to know in her impudcn'. sharp wa. T have plenty of reasons for my own tears without worrying about other people and their troubles. But Miss Kress says she's just crazy about Davidson. Calls him up two or three times q day and tries 10 make dates with him."
 She paused to draw a breath and rushed on with what she had to Say.
 "Well, as soon as Davidson saw Alr. Nye he jumped mp and beat it right out of the office. and left Milli" there alone to face the music Miss kr"ss saw the whole thing be- cause the office door stood wide open, and she could look in without even moving her head
 AS soon as Davidson was gone Alillie began to cry harder than ever "rd told Mr. Nye that Davidson had simply been sympathizing with her
 s'Ii'i tiihl l'' N'''H IIbt iIillS IiloI than her good friend, and all that sort of gulf.
 But she couldn't pull any wool over his eyes, evidently, because he told her he couldn't have things like that happening in his office, and asked Miss Kress 10 write her a check for two weeks salary. And then lo fired Miss Millic, if you plcase.'
 Fired her." Sally could scarcely believe her ears. You mean that John Nye discharged Millie?" It was unbelievable. Why John Nye was in love with Millie." She knew that.
 Mabel nodded. "IIe certainly did, And Miss Ilrcss says that she wasn't the least bit surprised. He had been furious with Millie for weeks be- cause she never was down at the or flee on time. and she would go out to lunch and stay for two hours. and she stayed home at least one day every week.
 Sally frowned nerple%edly. All this was quite beyond her. Sh" figure it out 10 save her life. Millie had said only the week before that John Nye was wildly in love with her, and that the reason ho stayed away from The House by the Side of the Road was because he was jealous of Davy Davidson.
 "Pcrhaps he's jealous of Davidson and angry with Millie for letting him make love to her" she said slowly. That must be it."
 But Mabel shook her head Nigor- ously. No. that's where you're all wrong" she declared with her air of knowing just what she was talk ing about. Miss Krcss says that Millie was always making eyes at Mr. Nyc and trying 10 make him jealous at the same time. She'd tell him she had been out to lunch with Davidson and he'd tell her it didn't make any difference 10 him whom she lunched with. but that she rouldnt stay out for more than her regular hour Miss kress says that Mir. Nye used to be awfully keen on liilie, but that he's all over 1t now."
 She put her head to one side with T wise little smile on her lips. That's the worst of men, Sally They change" she said. Look at Beau, \ year ago he was so wild about mo that he didn't know where he was, and now he's all tangled up with flapper who rougcs her knees and uses vanilla for per funnel" She sighed deeply and start ed out of the room with her baby's morning bottle in her hand.
