NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VI
1t was nearly time for Eve to
start to the office when Dick re-
turned next morning.
All her anger and suspicion
were lost in concern when she
saw him. She ran to him contritc.
ly and chung to him. ooh, Dick,
what happened?" she cried. His
clothes were grimy and ruined.
His shoulders sagged with wcarl-
ness.
"Somcbody tried to wreck the
foundation" he explained briefly.
"Used crude bomb"
Ewes eyes widened. "Rackc.
teers?" she asked.
81 don't think so. A man was
fired last week-a sullcn, spiteful
chap. He's the one they're hunt
ing for. We worked all night
trying to get at the bottom of
the mischief and trying to csti-
mate the damage. How about
some breakfast"
Over their coffee Dick told her
of the nights work and she
learned, among other things, that
the woman who had telcphoncd
the night before was Mrs. Hall,
who owned barbecue stand
across the street. She had over
heard conversation which led her
to suspect trouble.
81 should have called you"
Dick said regretfully. "But things
were in such 4 mess and by the
time | could get around to it, it
was long past midnight and |
hoped you were asleep. You sec

by's notice. He always was at his

the desk that had been Alice
MarshalPs-was note which
read:
"Memo to Miss Bayles from
Mr.. Barnes:
after you correct proofs of
today'S ad, please sec Miss Nc
Elroy and get details for Base
mcnt hat sale Tuesday. Select
six or eight hats for sketching.
Make 3-col. layout for Press
and 2-col. for Times and write
copy and heads to fit. See lay
out on my desk for depth of ad
and approximate size of cut.
"Send proof of your column
in today's Press to Mr.. Bixby
for his OK
Eve read this through a second
time. Basement hats! Well, they
were starting her at the bottom,
literally. She had taken it for
granted that there would be new
girl to fill the place made vacant
by her promotion. A new girl to
write relatively unimportant bits
of copy and do the errands that
could not be trusted to Charles,
the office boy. But there was no
time to waste on injured feelings.
Two messenger boys entered at
that moment, both in great haste.
"Anything for the Tines"
asked one of them. Eve went into
Barnes office to see. There was
a MANILA envelope on his desk
marked, "Times-Classifcd." The
boy snatched it from her hand and
