BY FLORA SNYDER

Joan Kendall left the elevator
at the third floor of the Morning
Post building. She paused to
glimpse her slim brown-clad 49,
year-old reflection in a shiny office
door and remind herself: Dad
can't go on sending me money in
definitely! l must make good!"
Abruptly the door swung inward
she quickly stepped aside. A tall,
blond, hatless young man stood in
the space with his broad tweed
back toward her.
"I'll do it," she heard him say.
He hurriedly closed the door and
ran for the down elevator without
a glance in her direction.

and plunged into the sanctum of
the editor of the Post
Morning, missi Something?" A
quizzical smile from the lean, alert,
elderly face above a Uttered desk.
Yes" Joan ignored the prof
fered chair and poured the thrill Of
an extra incentive into her appeal
for newspaper job.
But all she got was, Bring me a
human interest story you've dug
up yourself. Then I'll talk to you"
For me, two, three days she read
the news for a lead-in despair
until a Personal" fired her imag-
ination: Man, 25, wants to sell

Then dawned the exciting idea:
"I'il get an interview with that
man."
She wrote a note containing her
request and sent it Immediately.
Late the next afternoon her visitor
came. She heard his knock on the
door.
At the door she found herself
looking into the serious gray eyes
of the young man who had dashed
out of the EDITORS office.
Come in" She looked at him in
amazement.

about my ad."
AS he followed her into the liv-
ing room he added in boyish fash
ion. "My ad sounded strange, /

I'm anxious to know your prob

seated themselves. ut will make a
difference in what have to say"
she added, realizing from her
heart-beats that Larry Proctor had
suddenly become. her problem.
IT want to be a civil engineer
build bridges-do big things. But
I'm in debt, can't land a job. So
I decided to try a different sort of
ad, which you saw"
A wild desire possessed her to
prolong his interest-in her-even
though her original idea could not
fit-his case. Perhaps a fiction
story about herself would delay the
necessity of bringing him to earth
with a bang. Her brain functioned
swiftly.
"Mr. Proctor, I have to tell you
a rather fantastic tale of why
answered your ad."

"oh!" A slow nod of surprise
and courteous sympathy.
IT was only II, flattered to be
wooed by a wealthy man who
promised me everything. My par
ents consented. We were to be
married upon his return from

HE came home i'll and begged
that we be married at his beside.
He had made his will; I was to
benefit - If I married him. The
ceremony was performed. Soon
after he died.
His fortune was left to me.
However, I would forfeit all but
a moderate income from . trust

traitor is virtually my guardian. He
insists that marry him, as he de-
clares he can control the full in-
heritance for our mutual benefit.
If refuse he claims he can pre-
vent my getting anything but the
smaller income, even If don't
remarry."
"But the law"
She dared not hesitate. The on
ly way to free myself from his
domination is to marry someone
else, Immediately; and legally lose
the inheritance, which will then 20

A stronge exaltation lifted her to
her feet. "You-really mean 80
lover" ~
"Of course!" His voice wooed
her.
Her glowing heart turned cold.
She was not prepared to be the
one who came to earth with p

told her, and looking up into his
eager face she forced herself to say.

They joined the crowd around the

then re1illed his glass. He felt .
sudden urge to forget his troubles
in the rosy haze that accompanies
the taking Of alcohol in excess; rotten
luck. His mind spun backward to the
time, several years before, when he
had begged Jessie to marry him, and
she had unaccountably refused. 1t
seemed totally unfair that she should
now bring up the past to mar and
destroy his first real effort at re-
demption from an existence which,
each year, was becoming more ambi-
tionless, more dissolute. He felt be-
trayed and was swept by q wave of
self-pity that was comforting. He
drained the glass again and the ex-
hilaration Of the strong liquor coursed
hotly through his veins, beginning to
penetrate to his head. He felt better
able to cope with the situation, and
