CHAPTER FOUR

ECCENTRIC Mr.. Benjamin w
Merrideld had ended his interview
as abruptly as possible. He hac
given a somewhat startling ultl
matum, got up and left the room
"Wheww breathed Bill Bailey
staring at the door that had CLOSED
behind the old millionaire.
"Yesr" Gayle nodded agreement
Both the young people were in
tently serious. They turned slowly
to look at each other. 1t was not
an unpleasant thing to do.
Well" Gayle paused to swal-
low, "it seems as fit looks like
we-you and /"
It's the truth" Now it was
Bills turn to nod agreement. They
understood each others feelings,
even though they spoke incoher-
emily. Events had indeed moved
swiftly, confusingly.
II haven't he'd any breakfast"
Gayle suddenly remembered aloud.
Bill came down to practical
earth.
1--WE got a dollar and forty
cents. May look, Miss Dixon,
we've got to slip off somewhere
and think this out anyway. Come
on"
1t wasn't quite so simple as that,
though. They had no more than
reached the door when it opened
from the other side and Weems,
the Merryfeld secretary, entered.
Behind him were the six young
ladies Bill had selected for Mr..
Merrifeld They suddenly loomed
again as a great, even though love-
ly, responsibility.
christopher" Bill murmured.
II forgot"
Mr.. Merrifeld says that you are
to-ah, direct the girls, young sir"
Mr.. Weems began, land I was
wondering if-ah-"
"Oh yes, thank you, Mr.. Weems.
TI-say, have you girls had
breakfast"
One Of them, it appeared, had
been so provident as to eat first.
She was o. cute thing in light
sweater t of blue and white. The
knit of it emphasized her excellent
figure, the color Of it emphasized
the color Of her eyes-eyes which,
now, had acquired spectacles from
somewhere.
"Say, you didn't have on spec
tacles a while ago! Bill announced.
"Now don't you go belittling
girls who have to be four-eyed, MIR.
Bailey" She said it charmingly.
"a great many girls wear glasses,
and great many more ought to.
I don't care what Mr.. Merrifeld
wants done, glasses won't keep me
from doing it."
mo. No, no, Of course not,
Miss"
"Tempe-spelled T-e-m-p-e-pro-
nounced in two syllables, tenn
tenn, Pc pc. Like that. Tempe
Hyde"
"It's darling" Gayle echoed with
enthusiasm.
Tempe Hyde" Bill was sudden
ly smiling. Sounds like a little
child at play.
Are you teasing me, Mr..
Bailey?" Tempe Hyde demanded.
She was shorter than Bill, short
er than Gayle, so that she looked
up at them. The sheer innocence
of her query and her expression
captivated them. Spectacles seemed
somehow to be forgotten.
II am sure that Mr.. Merrifield
would want the young ladies to
have breakfast here in The Oaks"
tnterposed Mr.. Weems, who had
been chided once already this
morning for seeming lack Of hos
pitality.
Doubtless" Bill nodded quickly.
They must be starved. IF Miss
Hyde can eat no more, perhaps she
will be patient. Mr.. Weems, uh,
could Miss Dixon and I have
private spot somewhere? To eat
