at the lumber camp. 1t isn't over
run with accountants up there
All can do is go back, sweet. Fo

"a year! An eternity, Boo!'
Tears glistened in the girls blu'
eyes. Il make a decent salary
fellow. I could pay your ooarc
until
But maybe your kid brother
out in Detroit can send some OF
the money he's borrowed iron
you, Bob" =,
Hes probably having a tough
time. too. It's back to the tai
timber for me. I'd rather die than
leave you. but" He smiled, swept
her into his arms. =,
Come on. Let's go take a walk
for ourselves in this April night
At least the moonlight doesn I
cost anything"
The next morning Sherry went
into the private office OF Mr.. Ban
mister. treasurer of the company
for which she worked. :,
"A favor?" Bannister smiled.
':For you? Certainly"
Sherry produced rather eX'
pensive bracelet inherited from a
Well-to-do aunt.
A SCHEME
'T'm going to lose this tomorr'
row evening in the little PARK
across the street from my board
ing house. A poor but honest
young man is going to find 1t. ,
Then, in the Lost and Founo
column-where he's bound to LOOK
he's going to find an offer OF a
hundred dollars reward"
"I see. You need the services
of some one who's a stranger 70
the Young man. And when he re-
turns this bracelet to-Weu, my
hotel room, for instance hano
him your hundred dollars"
That's it. You're a dear Mr.
Bannister."
You're sure this young man
will find it?"
Positive! Every evening before
dinner he takes a walk arouno
that little park, and always comes
out by the same path"
This chaps out of job?" Ban
mister asked. whats his line?"
Accounting"
"Hm-m! l only wish we could
offer him something here. But
with Millard Kemp holding down
that end of the work, it couldn't
be done"
Thanks a million" Sheryl
opened the door and nearly ran
into young Millard Kemp, who was
retrieving some papers he had
dropped.
Sorry" said Sheryl,
Don't be-" replied thin, sleek
haired Mr.. Kemp. I'D rather
you'd run into me than anyone I
know. How about that little dine
and dance party tonight?"
THE answer is still no, Millard
Tonight. tomorrow night an1
always"
Sherry got her hat and walked
down to the offices of the news
paper where she inserted an ad In
the Lost and Found column.
The next evening, just before
dinner time, Sherry peered out the
window of her room and saw Bob,
tall, bro a d.shouldered, walking
restlessly along his regular route
in the deserted little park.
Sherry grabbed her bracelet,
hurried downstairs and across the
street. She waited in a clump OF
trees until she heard Bob's foot
steps coming along the path.
DROPS BRACELET
Then she dropped the bracelet
and hurried away so he wouldn'G
see her.
Nor did she see him again until
he was climbing the boarding
house steps. Sherry felt a bit
guilty as, later, she climbed those
same steps.
Starting through the door, she
encountered Bob who was hurry
ing outdoors again.
Hello, sweet" he said, smiling.
Gee, but you look trim and slim
in that new spring outfit"
Thanks, lad. Where to now?
Isn't 1t nearly dinner time?"
"Yes, but 1--we got to go down
to the little hotel where I stopped
when I first hit your big city
There's a special delivery letter
for me down there"
Didn't you leave any forward.
ing address,"
"Yes, but the old clerks asleep.
Didn't locate my new address un.
til after he'd signed for the letter.
But I'll be back within an hour
See. you later"
An hour later, his face flushed,
Bob came hurrying into the par
lor" where Sheryl was waiting.
Get your letter." she asked.
"And some good news?"
"Swell! It was money. can
stay in town another month"
Tim glad, Bob" Her tone
was somehow lacking in enthu-
siasrn. 1--WE Just been glancing
over the lost and found column of
the paper"
Didn't see any good accountant
Jobs open, did you?" He laughed.
well, maybe another month will
see a break for me-"
