wake up my COMPOUNDED grandson!
YoIl hear me ?"

wake up my COMPOUNDED grandson!
You hear me?"
Eyes, sir! At once, sir!"
Mr.. Mortified always shouted a
little at his servants and helpers
when he was excited. He was long
accustomed to being obeyed.
Nor did the old tyrant bother to
enlighten his secretary; this was
too nice a chance to torture his
friend a bit further. He chuckled
while MIR. Weems just sat waiting
solemnly.
Both men stood up when Gayle
Dixon came in.
Their courtesy was entirely in
voluntary; spontaneous. Miss Dixon
was, somehow, just a bit regal,
girl to command instant respect
She was dressed simply but taste
fully. She moved with complete
poise, and she smiled directly at
the two old gentlemen. She did not
gush a greeting, nor even speak at
all until Mr.. Merrifield had ap.
praised her and personally pulled
a chair nearer the fireplace blaze
for her.
won't you - sit down, my
dear?" He bowed in courtly man
ner.
1T knew you would be like this
Mr.. Merrifeld," she confded all at
once. Her voice was lovely to hear
Muted, toneful, intimate but digni,
fed, too. She sat down quietly, adj
miring the fireplace and its fix
lures, the desk and chairs and
books, the room in general, in
quite frank manner. THANK you,
sir, for letting me come in early
You will want to ask me ques-
tions?"
"Why, L" Benjamin w. Merri-
field swallowed. He was not the
first man to be momentarily over
whelmed by Gayle Dixon. Eyes. l.
we-this is my secretary, Mr.
Weems."
How do you do, Mr.. Weems"
Mr.. Merrifeld poked at the fire
It served to restore his own poise
When he sat down he could GO
straight to the matter at hand, as
was his custom.
You wish to work for me. Can
you meet all the qualifications?
II am unmarried. I am not yet
