ASho't Story Complete !" This Issue
HIS morning Peter was dreaming the
surgeon dream.
d These dreams of Peter kozicke were
all very enchanting. In them Miss Brodey
was always awed and breathless. In one. she
was awed because Peter Kozcke, that bril-
liant young architect, had invited her "a
mere telephone girl, but very lovely one -
to spend day on his cruiser
This was very real dream. 1t was COM
plete, to bright sunlight shining down on
float, to trim little motor tender tethered
there, to Peter kozicke lounging in yacht

and overwhelmed, in white linen, and shaking
hands shyly. and making mistake by look
ing at the tender and saying, rs that your
boat, Mr.. kozicke??"
And he would laugh amusedly and say,
NO. that's Just the tender" and point to
the sleek, long cruiser riding at anchor, and
she would be confused and f1ustered.

while the trim cruiser was blowing down the
sunlit sound she would be suspicious, a little
frightened. Surely, she would think, the
owner of all this luxury was simply amusing
himself with her. Surely
1t was all very delicious. 1t happened a
thousand times.
1t happened almost as often as the one in
which he was Peter kozicke, that fabulous
young fnancier of Wall Street, who. at
twenty-six, was world-weary, tired of making
money and who hid himself, week ends, on
wild, secluded estate.

1t was there, on this wild, secluded estate
that Miss Brodey, on invitation, found him.
He was standing there, in rough tweeds, sur
rounded by pack of dogs, when his station
wagon drew up to the iron gates to deliver

Brodey was fluttery and overwhelmed be-
cause she a mere telephone girl, had been
invited here for week end by that world
weary, fabulous young genius of Wall Street,

they invited telephone operators to their

And then theys We had two complaints of

Peter passed out of earshot at this point
and the voice of Adolphe - Mister Adolphe
to the lesser ones of Harden House - faded
from an angry rumble, faded into silence at
the point where Adolphe usually called upon
God to witness the injustice of it all, the in

lNwARDLY. Peter, wheeling the cart down
the carpeted corridor towards 1899, burned
with humiliation. Inwardly, he hungered for
revenge. Someday he would come back to
Harden House. when he was Dr. kozicke. or
Peter kozicke, the great young architect, or
Peter Kozicke, the brilliant young hnancer.
Loftily, he would demand room on the
twelfth floor, suite. perhaps even 1926, which

would come crawling in. smirking and fawn-
ing, and saying, YES Mr.. kozicke Yes. sir.
Yes, sir And he would grind that fat wretch
beneath his heel. Perhaps say loftily, You
don't remember me, do you, Adolphe?" And
Adolphe would look blank and say, mo, sir,
Mr. Kozcke. No, sir. understood this was
your first visit to Harden House. sir" And
Peter would laugh, amusedy. and say
But here was 1899. Peter stopped. raped
"Yes?" growled voice Come in
Peter opened the door. Mr. Selman was
examining papers into brief case. He looked
at Peter and said, Dammit. If you came
little later could have had that for breakfast
tomorrow. Dammit"
He snapped his brief case shut. Sorry,
sir" said Peter. wheeling the cart inside the
room.
That doesn't help haven't got time for
it, Mr.. Selman snarled. Mr.. Selman was

in for trouble
Left alone, Peter looked cautiously down
the corridor. Adolphe had seen nothing,
fortunately - the corridor was momentarily
deserted. He lifted the silver covers from the
dishes and inspected the breakfast - three
thick slices of Irish bacon, done to Louis's
crispy turn. scrambled eggs, thin, delicately
crusted rolls, marmalade, coffee.
Yes, he decided, it was a breakfast worthy
of Miss Brodey. Now. if only that moon
faced, greasy-skinned Joe Latouris hadn't
gotten there before him!
fETER wheeled the tray out of 1899 and
slipped down the long corridor. Only five or
six people saw him, flunkey in blue coat
with silver buttons, just f1unkey wheeling
breakfast cart. Peter didn't see them. He saw
only the branch corridor leading to l2B,
where Miss Brodey sat. He turned off into the
branch corridor, looked back once, saw he was
safe. He raped on the door of the switch
board room where Miss Brodey worked from
midnight until nine Am.
Come in," called Miss Brodey. And Peter
went in. Miss Brodey twitched the earphone
set from her beautiful small right ear. She did
it carefully, so as not to disturb the wave of
her hair.
"Oh, it's you, Peter she said. with
breakfast!' And she smiled at him, causing
him to grow more breathless.
Good morning, Miss Brodey," he said. "A
