 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XII LYNDA MEETS THE YOUNG BOSS
 I've never had real home. but I'm . pretty good cook" said Claire, and there was a lit of hope in her voice. II used to live with my aunt, who nearly worked me to death, but she taught me to cook and keep house. It would be heaven not to have to live in one room."
 Az they walked back from lunch 10 the office they met David with Emily Andrews. Lynda called his attention to Claire.
 You remember Miss Stanhope, David. She was in the grammar grades with us. She's going to stay at the house with me while Dads away"
 There. MT David Kenmore. thought Lyn, you can see how much care for that little cats gos- sip. Claire's worth a dozen of her.
 The little cat unsheathed her vel vet-covered claws.
 How lovely for you two girls to be together. Why didn't you tell me what you wanted, Lynda. when you asked whether Claire lived at home If you had. I'd have tried to per suade you to take me instead. You know I have to board, too. You'd have liked that better, now wouldn't you. David. You'd have two excuses for making dates at the house in stead of one"
 David doesn't need any excuse for coming to my house." said Lyn. da, quickly. "Why, he has helped me with the supper dishes thret nights out of five for the last ter years"
 David was not altogether comfort able under the verbal shots tha were passing over him and, man, like. he blamed Lynda more than he did Emily, for he had suggest ed that he did not think Claire a de- sirable chum for her. He said stiffly:
 T shall not be in the city much from now on, and told Lynda sh, had better get someone to stay with Ter"
 My. that sounds just like a hus band" giggled Emily.
 Come on. Claire. have to ge, back to my work" said Lynda. q have so much of it, don't sec how I'll get it done today"
 She didn't deign to smile at Elm lily, who was not at all abashed, ana who. lingering behind with David called to her:
 Remember that rule in the un ion, old dear. He who leaves some work today will have some work an other day. Don't kill yourself. 4 good looking girl like you doesn need to, you know. l saw Arm stealing glance or two at you to day, and know he won't scold, nt matter how little you do."
 'Lyn didn't tell me she had me Ralph Armitage." said David, turn ing to Emily when Lynda and Clair, were out of earshot.
 Does she always tell yo, everything?" Emily asked, slyly.
 Here's where I leave you" sait David, instead Of answering Emily: question. He wondered why Lynds had not told him about meetin, young Armitage. not knowing tha she had not.
 Well. good bye Davie. I'm sorr, Claire is going 10 live with you dear Lynda. I'm afraid she'll teacl her some new tricks
 With that 10 rankla in David mind, Emily left him. When she go back to her desk, she said innocent ly to Lynda:
 What was the hurry? I wante, 10 tell you that June Challer is go ing 10 have a studio party weel from Friday night, and she aske, me 10 bring you''
