THE plot is perfect" enthused Miss Gale.
''I feel am fortunate, Mr.. Sands, to be able to
aid in such brilliant undertaking"
Mr.. Sands also felt fortunate in procuring
such a sympathetic and attractive aide. He
watched, surreptitiously, while she worked.
marveling at the contour of her Velvety cheek
and the CLINT of her auburn hair Too, tur-
quoise eyes and patrician nose he had always
approved, and such features were hers
She also, found an occasional moment when
Mr.. Sands was occupied to observe that he
had profile not precisely inferior TO those in
the collar advertisements, and that his ply
sique was really Ia Tunney.
Their thoughts emotions, however, did not
verge on personal romance because they knew
it was impossible for even a vestige OF it to
appear or thrive in Sordid business environment.
Miss Beryl Jones returned to the office Tues
day morning, coyly stated she was both willing
and eager to go through the scheduled act Of
fanting. but she earnestly felt she needed
little practice before attempting such artful un-
dertaking; and it was no unnatural aftermath
for the president Of the company to collaborate
in such necessary practices. Hence, for sew

of the sincere opinion he will be able to perform
his part tonight without further rehearsing"
If rejoined his assistant calmly that is
the view you have of it, Mr.. Sands, I will be
absent when Mr. Collins comes this morning for
his last lesson. But regarding such phase of the
business, Mr.. Sands hope you will not object
to my saying that honestly think the future
of Romance, Incorporated, may become imper-
lied if its president permits himself to wax sem
timental with any of the feminine clients"
IT will respect your suggestion, Miss Gale"
conceded Mr.. Sands in brisk, impersonal tones
