Eve. do YOU think you could get
away from the Office SATURDAY
morning? I'd like 10 make a little
trip"
oh. I'd love it," she said. But
how could ! get a1ay 50 near 70
Christmas? Think OF all the eve
nings lately I've had TO bring work
home from the store"
An right. remind your chief OF
that You aren't paid for over
time I've outlined little trip
He produced road map and with
a pencil indicated The route.
Wen 20 dOwnstate through
some towns you've never seen. The
scenery is especially attractive
along the river See, well cut on
here into the hills
oh. Dick. II would be such funl !"
Eve responded IN see what /
can do about getting of.
I'D like 20 leave at 10 Saturday
morning. Dick reminded her.
But Saturday Eve mad TO attend
TO several tasks al the Office. Dick
drove her downtown and left her
while he went to his own Job 20
make sure everything was salts
factory before leaving town.
AT 10 ne drove up 70 the side en-
trance at Bixby's. AT a quarter Of
IL a flushed and nervous Eve
emerged from the revolving doors
and took her place at his side.
Dick. was so upset at keeping
YOU waiting she began, breath
lessly. Barnes was decent about
letting me go. had it all arranged,
you know. Then-of all things!-
Mr. Bixby called us all to his Office.
He bawled us out terribly for that
mistake in Friday nights adj. OF
course it was Mona Aliens fault.
but lot OF good it would do to tell
Mr. Bixby that! It's results that
count. And the store will have to
take big loss"
And vet you're determined to go
on" Dick said l won't tell you
when TO quit. It's up to you But I
want TO remind you that no Job is
worth as much as your health"
Well anyway, I shouldn't have
left when l did this morning" Eve
went on. Suppose Mr. Bixby sends
for ne again during the day and
Barnes has to tell him I've gone to
spend the weekend in the coun-
try?"
He'll probably ask for your res
ignation.' Dick replied cheerfuliy.
They rode in silence out Broadway
and then turned south. Eve shuu-
dered as they passed the gray stone
walls of the State hospital. Many
an inmate there, she knew, might
have been saved if he had stopped
the nervous strain in time.
She glanced at Dicks handsome
profile. He looked strong, purpose
full. and yet so calm.
Dick, you never worry about
your work. do you?" she began.
Wouldn't say that" he answered.
Every job has its disagreeable side. "
But 1 never hear you rave and
rant when you get home nights. My
father used to rel.ve the entire
working day at the dinner table"
Eve said
People do that and then wonder
why they have nervous indigestion. -
Dick smiled.
WELL Eve went on. when
w still was at home, 1 decided
that if I ever had a family of my
own, we'd talk about what's going
on in the world at meal time"
Eyes, most kids are bright
enough" Dick agreed as they rode
through an outlying factory district.
When l was boy down on the
farm" he continued. I'VE didn't have
much money for foolishneSs. After
chores we're done, We always had
time for play. but there Wa never
any money spent on that play Mon
ey was too scarcel In spite of that
there never was year when my
father didn't have the price to SUBJ
scribe to two daily newspapers.
And, hard as he worked, Dad
never was too tired to talk over
the main part of the days news
with the family When I came into
the city. 1 got plenty of razzing fer
being a green country boy, but !
wasn't really as green as they
thought" And Dick grinned.
