Eve. do you think you could get
away from the Office Saturday
morning. I'd like to make a Estle
trip"
oh. I'd love it," she said. But
how could I get away 50 near TO
| 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 a little trip"
He produced a road map and with
pencil indicated the route.
Wen go downstate through
some towns you've never seen. The
scenery is especially attractive
along the river See. we'll cut of
here into the hills"
oh. Dick. it would be such funl"
Eve responded. IN see what I
can do about getting off,
I'D like to leave at 10 Saturday
morning." Dick reminded her.
But Saturday Eve had to attend
70 several tasks at the Office. Dick
drove her downtown and left her
while he went to his own job to
make sure everything was salts
factory before leaving town.
AT 10 he drove up to 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 ad 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 a big loss"
And yet you're determined to 90
on" Dick said " 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"
We'll. anyway. I shouldn't have
left when 1 did this morning" Eve
went on. Suppose Mr.. Bixby sends
for me again during the day ana
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 cheerfully
They rode in silence out Broadway
and then turned south. Eve shud-
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 relive the entire
working day at the dinner tablet"
Eve said.
People do that and then wonder
why they have nervous indigestion"
Dick smiled.
MEL" Eve went on when !
w still was at home, 1 decided
hat if 1 ever had a family OF my
own. we'd talk about what's going
on in the world at meal time"
Yes. most kids are bright
enough" Dick agreed, as they rode
through an outlying factory district
When was boy down on the
farm" he continued. we didn't have
much money for foolishness. After
chores were done, we always had
time for play. but there was never
any money spent on that play. Mon
ey was too scarce! In spite of that,
there never was a 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 1 came into
the city, got plenty of razzing for
being a green country boy but 1
wasn't really as green as they
thought And Dick grinned.
