Jacqueline was halfway along
the dark passage that led from the
gloomy Office of Messrs. Stuckey &
Stuckey into the rather less
gloomy street when she was aware
OF footsteps behind her, and turned
her head to see Miss Harringay
hurrying after her. Jacqueline
paused, and, as Miss Harringay
reached her, glanced toward her in
quiringly. For a few moments the
typist stood surveying her with
hostile eyes that swept her from
head to foot with a rather insolent
stare.
you're Miss Jacqueline Smith,
aren't you? ?" said Miss Harringay.
Jacqueline nodded.
Going to marry Jim Asson,
aren't you?" Then, as she saw
that Jacqueline was about to pro-
test: "Oh, it's all right; know
all about it, and there's no need to
get on your high horse. want to

But don't see :" began Jac-
queline.
Miss Harringay cut her short.
you'll see soon enough. You
wait for me here while I get my
hat and you'll soon see."
Miss Harringay turned and went
back into the Office. For a mo-
nent Jacqueline hesitated, uncer-
tain whether to go or to wait.
Miss Harringay, she knew, was the
typist, and it was difficult to
imagine what she could possibly
have to say to her. Something in
her manner, however, decided jac-
queline that she would wait and
hear what it was. Something in
Miss Harringay's manner had
quite definitely increased . that
vague sense of uneasiness Of which
she had been aware ever since she
had met Jim Asson, and she must
certainly hear what the girl had to
say. Nothing pleasant: she was
sure Of that.
Miss Harringay came hurrying
along the passage.
I'VE can't talk here-and I've
got to talk. There's place just

move and designed only for the pur-
pose Of further delaying vote.

that those who have been employed
in the mines Of the state for one
year prior to the time the bill be-
came effective will not be required
to take an examination. He said this
provision demonstrated to him that

was that one years experience would
