NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXIY
"NIss GRAY to see you" The
automatic announcer ON Tom
Weaver's desk parroted the words
and Tom, frowning, said, Let her
come in"
The girl who presently appeared
on the threshold was dazzling in
her morning freshness. Her gold
and-whlte, rather flashy good looks
were admirably set off by a brown
tailored suit, faultlessly cut. The
guardsman's hat of cleaning brown
straw was worn at a perilous angle.
Vera. Tom reflected, had always
known how to wear clothes. She
was the type that young men still
artlessly describe as a knockout"
Good morning." She settled
herself in the one comfortable chair
in the cubicle and smiled at him
brilliantly.
Il didn't know you were back"
Tom said. "Cigaret?"
She accepted one and lighted it
gracefully. Everything this girl
did was studied.
Got that bird Varick at last"
she said with satisfied smile.
You did?" Tom showed interest. |
"You all said 1 couldn't. Even !
Mr.. Lawrence said 1 couldn't. But I
/ did" Her white teeth flashed in
triumph.
well, he's always been hard
nut. Hard man to see," Tom said
re1ectiyely. "Yamped him, eh?"
Il wouldn't say that" Her sill
very laugh tinkled in modesty.
"Lawrence'll be pleased" Tom
swerved in his chair, staring out
over the roofs.
you should have had that &C
count, Tommy" Her voice took on
warmer notes and she laid hand
on his sleeve.
"Oh. rot. it's your business! Glad
to see young girl get along" He
grinned at her.
Wasn't it the funniest thing?"
she asked with relish. MY walk
ing in here that day and Mr..
Lawrence remembering me back at
the Boston Office and asking how
I'd like to try my hand at the New
York work?"
Certainly was!" Toms voice
sounded enthusiastic enough but
there were little lines around his
eyes. He looked tired.
And I was just mad to come
down, Of course. Who wouldn't
be?" Vera demanded. 1T was the
chance of lifetime"
"Well, you're making good.
Who says you're not?" Tom
spoke heartily.
81 love it here. :" Vera
stripped off her gloves, rising.
I've got to get some letters off. /
suppose you're going downstairs to S
unch at about one?"

THE young man showed signs +
l. of embarrassment. Matter OF |
