CHAPTER FORTY (ConJlnued)
1T was a week after that hospital

one night with news. Mr.. Stuart
stopped in to see me this after
noon" she announced before even
pulling off her hat. Wanted to
know how you and the baby are
getting along"
THAT was nice Of him." Norma,
in an apron, was busy at the table.
But that wasn't all!' Chris con-

it's going to be tremendous sue

It could do it," Norma said Gag
erly. "Of course I could! Ill rent
a typewriter"
"That won't be necessary. Mr..
Stuart said he'd send one out. He
seems to have a lot of confidence IN
your work, Norma. Went on to tell
me this new secretary doesn't do
half as much as you did.
"He wants the finished copy on
this novel in two weeks and he's
willing to pay $50 for the job"

something. It's terrible to be in

not really big amounts I mean.
"I'll telephone Mr.. Stuart and II
he can send the typewriter and
manuscript I'll start tomorrow"
You're sure you feel we'll enough?
Typing's hard work you know"
1.-The very sound of the type
writer will be music to my ears.
That $50 looks bigger to me than
any amount Of money I've ever
seen. I'm going to telephone Mr..
Stuart right nowl"

NEXT day the typewriter and
IN sheaf of manuscript arrived at
the apartment. When Chris saw
how her friends spirits improved,
all doubts about the wisdom of the
venture fed. Work certainly agreed
with Norma.
Before the two weeks ended in

formed from bulky, illegible RACES
to a stack of neatly typed manu-
script Stuart sent word that lie
would have more copying for
Norma.
He sent out a play and later two
short stories with a note saying it
was pleasant to find a typist who
could be counted on to read in
diligently and accurately:
Norma earned $40 within a
month and the sum went to Chris
as part payment on her loan. 1t
was December. A dozen times Chris
uttered silent prayers of gratitude
to Frederick Stuart.
Without knowing it, he was help

haps the hardest time since Mark
Travers' departure. Just a year be-

She put down the instrument,

maid across the room. Get the

after all, Hurry"
At once there was excitement in
the modernistic mauve and silver
boudoir. Wherever Natalie Price
was there was likely to be excite

Only Marcelle, the French maid
knew what tempests could arise
over last-minute change of her
mistress costume. Natalie stormed

MARK TRAVERS was ANNOYED
4V1 and his face showed it. On
the other hand, each refusal; every
thing about this young woman, made
him want more and more to know
her.
Lowering the pitch of his voice,
fixing his eyes on Norma, he said
softly, "Oh, but you will change
your mind just this one time? You
will do this for me, won't you, Beau
tiful?"
It was the voice, the tone, the
very speech that had won a dozen
romantic encounters.
Seldom, therefore, has there been
a more amazed, more disconnected
young man than this self-same
Mark Travers when, five minutes
later, he found himself on the op-
poSite side of a closed door with only
the dusky September sky to share
his reflections.
Travers moved slowly toward the
roadster at the curb. It was
handsome roadster, heavily built but
graceful He climbed into the seat
and with low throb the car shot
forward.
Dusk had descended completely
when Travers brought the car to an
abrupt halt before a corner tobacco
store.
He left the wheel, entered the
store and made his way to public
telephone booth. Then he dropped
nickel into the slot and began to
dali rapidly.

He was sure she had understood
correctly. She only was trying tc
make It harder for him. In that
case change of tactics was in or

Il called to see about dog" he
repeated soberly. You see, I've lost
one, and today I read the advertise
ment in The Press. From the de-
scription given, I thought the one
advertised might be mine"
In assuming that Norma was be-
Ing petulant the young man did her
less than justice. The girl was
simply startled.
She scarcely could believe the
youth before her was the one she
had seen on Broad street two nights
before, the one who had dashed in
to the traffic and saved the puppy.
There was no mistaking him, how
ever. And now she was not angry
with him. She was amused.
II see," she replied primly. "Will
you describe the animal you're
looking for?"
"Well--he--er-he was a gray
and brown puppy with black spot
over the right eye" He looked
down at the newspaper folded open
to the classified pages and then up
at the girl.

continued, land he has a black

but before I could reach him the
dog was on the other side. 1 saw
young woman pick him up, get
into cab and disappear. When I
called to her she took no notice.
"The young woman"-here he
stared gravely at the girl-"wa$
about your size, I should say. She
had blue eyes. Beautiful eyes and
blond hair"
"Oh. I'm so sorry!" Norma inter

ut is possible that he might have
