slowly until his lips rested on her. That's the
way to do it."
CHE got to her feet. She looked at him
y gravely. I'VE won't do it that way any
more, Brad. Six years is long time to spend
getting nowhere. Now about the Macdonald
account"
There is no such thing John Rufus says
the MacDonald's claim their window displays
and choice locations advertise themselves Cy's
slogan is: Put your money into rent. not
space"
Then he'd be wiling to advertise if he didn't
have to pay for space
Sure. But who's going to present him with
the space? The f1rm?"
Not Rufus and Harmer, but all the firms
whose goods are on sale at the Macdonald
Stores. Each one puts in thousand a year
and you have about half million dollars to
put over national advertising campaign. It's
a neat little appropriation and who wouldn't
come into the pool when it means telling the
world that the Macdonald chain sells his
goods?"
Hold on a minute; that sounds like the be-
ginning Of something worth considering. 1t
will need lot of developing though Want
me 70 go to it, Mary?"
"Of course. Otherwise why should give
you the idea?"
so it's mine Good Wait till I land the
account and Rufus & Harmer make me gen
eral manager. My secretary will get fifty
week. Sixty soon as can wangle it. Does
that fill the BILL Mary?"
Brad followed her across the room to the
door of his office "Nothing's too good for our
Miss Smith. love her more than ever to-
day"
But not enough, Brad" She slipped through
the door without waiting for the kiss she
wanted SO much and might have had If she
could have endured kiss and nothing more.
IN Friday in June when the temperature
~ was an ambitious 90, Bradley Cabot Ran
dolph came to work carrying a leather suit
case and golf bag.
This is where we drydock tomorrows swim
at Rye" he said in elaborately ofhand
manner Dudley Harmer got me on the
phone this morning and asked me out to Cos
Cob for the week end. Rye Beach will hang
out its welcome sign all Summer but it Is
expedent to accept Harmer hospitality when
offered You see the wisdom of it, don't you,
darling?"
II .see," Mary said. 1T must have been
Posie who asked: Is Mrs. Harmers sister
very wonderful"
Miss Braithwaite does not enter into our
discussion am told she is spending the
week end at the Rufus estate on Long Island
His tone slammed a door between them.
I'm sorry" Mary said.
Not at all About this week end. It's
direct outgrowth of that little hunch you had
a few weeks ago. This Macdonald advertising
plan is developing into bigger thing than you
ever dreamed. The firm has had its eye on
me ever since the day Old Cy approved my
idea and agreed to let me approach one or
two of his big manufacturers with it. They
are enthusiastic so all we need now is Dom
AIDS signature on the dotted line. I'll get
that as soon as he returns from the west
Coast Monday or So And the next thing is
the general managership. It's great world
Mary"
He patted her hair vaguely and gathered
up his luggage. SORRY to ask you to stick
on Saturday, but you'd better be here just In
case something shows up.
Nothing whatever showed up till noon on
Saturday Then a tall, gaunt young ran
with a commanding air and pongee smt
appeared suddenly in the doorway OF the
Bredley Cabot Randolph office. The VISITOR
had aIoof gray eyes, a high-bridged nose, a
law that made no effort to hide its aggressive
bony structure and wiStful mouth Wmcn
seemed to be disputing all the rest of him.
II am Donald Macdonald" His voice was
almost deep enough to be groWl. May L
come imp"
Mary smiled. She had no idea how beau
tifuI she was when she smiled. "Oh, please
do come in.'
He smiled too. "You are Miss Smith, aren't
you? John Rufus said you'd give me all the
information want"
Mary thought: IN be careful I don't"
Mary said: shall I book you for an ap-
pointment with Mr.. Randolph? Say at noon
on Monday?"
ct want to get into action today"
"Tn get Mr. Randolph on the wire for you at
once"
"I don't need Randolph" he said CURLY. "Un-
less his secretary objects to having me cut into
her Saturday half holiday"
when there is work TO be done in the office,
do not have holidays" She could be crisp,
too
THE work is not 10 be done In the office.
John Rufus is out as his home IN Oyster Bay.
