He took her home early and did not try

Mary reflected after she had said good
night, that it was the first time she had ever
gone to dinner with a man who knew what
was what and how to make the entire staff of
a restaurant 60 to work to please him. But
on the whole she felt that the evening had
been educational rather than exciting.
She had hardly got to the office the next
morning when Mr.. Wooderson called up, and
asked for Mr.. Beardsley.
Mary could not hear what Wooderson said
but it was clear from Joe Beardsley's replies
that Wooderson was giving him hell about the
booklets.
He said something under his breath when
he hung up.
"Wooderson is on my neck about those
booklets" he continued. 1T looks as if I'd
have to do something about Them"

spend as much time as can on it during the
day. I'll have an idea for the one about sword

He began to dictate at half past five.
He dictated steadily for two hours, direct
to the machine.
How about calling it day?" he asked.
You aren't half through your first draft"
IF we're going on we'll have to have food.

"That1l take too long," Mary said IN

"Oh, all right" Joe Beardsley said.
Mary called up and got the sandwiches
and coffee. They paused less than ten minutes.
Joe Beardsley began to dictate again while
munching sandwich. They worked on
through till midnight"
Where do you live?" Joe Beardsley asked.
Downtown" Mary said

They walked over to Fifth Avenue and

You're from Chicago" Joe Beardsley
said.

it's an accent or certain tricks of expression.
Anyhow you know it."
The night was warm for the time of year,
and misty. The asphalt was wet and shining
as the bus swayed and swung down the
avenue. In the distance you could hear the
foghorns in the harbor Mary Benbow lovedit.
Il really don't think it's fair to ask you
to work tomorrow night" Joe Beardsley said
as they stood in front of her apartment.

piece suit she had got through her friend
Marge for third of what it was worth. He'd

suits he wore so well. Her three-piece suit
would be exactly right on the street of an
evening in October. She would take off the
long coat in the restaurant. The skirt and
blouse would be all right for dancing if he
took her to place where there was dancing.
Mary hoped he would. She danced we'll and

Logan's. The office manager took her and in
troduced her to Mr.. Beardsley and left her.
Mr.. Beardsley was blond young man
with homely face and a friendly grin. His
clothes were out of press, his tie was careless
and his hair looked as if he had been running
his fingers through it and turning and twist
ing it in an effort to think. Mary was startled
to find man so young. He couldn't be more
than twenty-seven or eight. She had pictured
him. hearing Wooderson refer to him as poor
old Joe," as man past his prime.
"Wooderson says you're the best secretary
he ever had" Joe Beardsley said.
II wouldn't know about that" Mary said.
Il am sure you can do anything want"
he said.
Mary nodded.
THE meanest job I've got on is doing those
booklets for West Indies i suppose you
know about them"

Mary wasn't sure whether he was assuming
that she had a boy friend who would object
to her working several evenings in succession
or whether he meant Wooderson.
What can he say?" Mary asked. IF

There's no wild rush about those book
lets, Mr.. Wooderson said. Il told him they
would have to be in here next week But that
was so he'd have them done this MONTH"
There's no stopping him now, Mary said.
He's bound to get them out"
You know you don't have to work over
time" Mr.. Wooderson said.
Il don't mind" Mary said.
Il suppose it's all right this once" he
said. I'm going oul of town for the week
end. III call you up on Monday as soon as
l get back"
Mary worked with Joe Beardsley until mid
night again that night They rode downtown
together on bus and talked a blue streak
about Chicago They hadn' known any of the
same people in Chicago. But they knew the
same Chicago.
Joe Beardsley had an engagement in the
country for the weekend. He said he couldn't
do any more on the booklets until Monday
night. Mary Benbow spent long lonely
Sunday. She was 50 much lonelier than she
had been other Sundays in New York that
she asked herself why. She couldn't think of
any reason except that she liked Joe Beardsley.
Mary called up Gertrude Brown late in the
afternoon. Gertrude was girl she had known
in her brief three weeks as MIR. Wooderson's
private secretary.
Its about time you came across" Ger
trude said, as she came in the door.
Mary looked at her. II don't know what
you mean," she said.
Listen, Mary Benbow." Gertrude said.
There is limit. I'm crazy to know your
side of the story. Are you going to marry
Wooderson?"
NO." Mary said, I'm not!'

just contact and talk"
He told her he hadn't any
thing for her to do at the
moment so she went out in
to the anteroom and looked
over the typewriter they
hadgiven her. Itwasin good
shape. Mr.. Wooderson called
up to ask how things were
and Mary told him every
thing was fine.
He did not call up the next
day or the next. Mary be-
gan to wonder if he really
intended to take her out to
dinner. He called up on the
third day and asked her. He
offered to stop for her at her
apartment but she preferred
to meet him up town. She
didn't want to introduce
the elegant MIR. Wooderson
to the shabby little apart
ment she lived in. He asked
her to meet him at Anton's,
in East Fifty-frst Street.
He said it was a place where
you got good food and there
was no orchestra to interfere
with conversation.
Mary got home as fast as
she could and spent two
hours dressing. MIR. Wooder-
son was waiting in the lobby
at Anton's. The headwaiter
greeted him by name, as if
he we're an old patron, and
led him to a secluded corner
where they sat on banquette
upholstered in red leather.
Mr.. Wooderson had a
lengthy discussion with the
headwaiter about the wine.

Mary Benbow, or that she was his girl, or
something to that effect And no matter how
hard she tried she would never get Joe
Beardsley. Even if he liked her he wouldn't
do ything about it. Even if he fell in love
with her he wouldn't do anything about it.
He couldn't! Wooderson had him under his
