outside the study and Bill talked
loudly so that all those and even the
others still on the stairway could
hear. Mr.. Merrifield and Mr..
Weems looked helplessly at each
other. Gayle Dixon was wide-eyed.
start walking by, slowly" Bill
hurried on, with positive air of
authority. Head out that other
door yonder unless I take you out
of the line. Miss-uh, you are Miss
Merrifeld or somebody, aren't
you?"
He addressed Gayle for the first
time.
Yes, II really am somebody,
but" Gayle was quick-Witted,
too. She moved forward, ready to
help.
"Okay. Now look-you lead the
procession back outside again, Ell?
You know your way around this
palace. Ought to be another way
out somewhere. Your grandfather
will be smothered in face powder
if we don't act fast. Get me?"
"I get you" Gayle stepped out,
motioning to the girls to follow.
She hoped-blindly hoped!-that a
door across the room would lead
somehow to an avenue of escape
again, and fortunately it did.
The two old men said not word
for almost an hour.
They just stood by the fireplace
and stared. Girls of every possible
ssifcation-there were even a
few Chinese and one hopeful col
ored lass with very definite qualifi-
cations-passed in review before
the astonishing Bill Bailey. Bill
greeted each one cordially, spoke a
kindly word or two, but hurried
them all past.
Every few minutes he asked a
girl to step out of the line and
wait. When Gayle had the line
strung out to the lawn again, and
had worked herself back up stairs
with her air of authority, she
found nine beautiful girls waiting
in some confusion.
Standing there by the door, she
was conscious all at once of Jeremy
Tucker at her elbow. Jeremy, the
young grandson of Mr.. Merrifield,
who had appeared earlier in dress
ing robe and had been sent away,
like a little boy, to make himself
presentable.
"Oh, I say" Jeremy stared in
establishment at the moving line of
girls. whatever is" He couldn't
finish.
These are girls who came in re-
Spouse to Mr. Mcrrifield's adver-
tisement," Gayle explained. They
want to work for him. Poor
dearsl"
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-05-06

ooh, for goodness sake!" Jeremy
fled.
Gayle wished he had stayed. She
wanted to study him. He was the
man she was hired to WOO! That
is, Mr.. Merriield had said he
wanted her to make love to young
Jeremy. Did Jeremy understand
that arrangement?
Whew! All at once the POSSIBLE
ity of that assailed Gayle. Her face
showed deep concern and she
wished she could ask Mr.. Merri-
field about it at once, but he was
obviously too distracted now. Any
way, Gayle wasn't sure she want
ed to WOO a man for pay. Jeremy
Tucker appeared decent enough,
refined, really, but colorless.
In the end Bill had selected IL
possible candidates. Then he
pitched in with gentleness but
firmness, displaying a rare charm,
to cut that II down to six. When
only the six remained, he turned
to Mr.. Merrifeld again.
II think, sir, that you yourself
will want to choose the final cam
didate. These 1 assr-e you are the
six best looking, and I'll bet a red
hat they're the smartest ones, too.
Do you want the rest of us to get
out so you can go into a private
huddle with these girls ?"
"Why-why, yes. No! No, l.
yes" Poor Mr.. Merrifield. He was
brusque, direct man himself, but
after all he was approaching 80
years Of age.
A moment later, though, he
found himself alone with the six
maidens and he had regained his
poise. He swelled a little, looked
almost fierce.
There before him stood youth!
Beautiful, hopeful youth. Confident
youth. Old Mr. Merrifield just
stared at them for a minute or so.
then smiled benignly from where
he sat in the swivel chair of his
great desk.
But he never did address them
there. Instead, he suddenly turned
and banged large hand down on
signal bell, then beloved loudly.
"Mr. Weems, where are you ?"
The secretary hurried back in.
Gayle and Bill Bailey peered in
tently through the door he left
open.
"Mr. Weems, confound it, put all
six of these young ladies on the
payroll at once! You hear me?"
"Oh, of course. sir! But what
are they to do?"
How in the devil do l know?
And Mr.. Weems-send that aston
;shing young Bailey back in here!".

"sir."
"Now listen to me, Bailey and
Miss Dixon. 1t just occurs to me
that you might work together on
my - ali - confidential matter. I
have just hired Miss Dixon here to
make love to my grandson. Jeremy
Tucker. If She"
WHAT" Bill Bailey interrupted.
That's what I said, young man!
I wanted a girl to draw my book
ish grandson out of the library.
Let me explain to both of you.
Jeremy is a good boy. He is the
son of my only daughter, who now
is dead. So, too, is Jeremy's father.
The fuckers lived far away from
me until the accident a year ago,
and when Jeremy came here l
found him a Worm!"
Gayle suppressed a smile, lean
ing forward n great interest.
Jim Tucker was one of my
mining executives, but to keep
Jeremy from being rough mining
man they made bookish rabbit
of him. Only child. Improper sur
roundings. Most regrettable. Now
he is "a years old and is burying
himself in archaeology, corfound it!
He is hardly alive!"
II see, at last!" Gayle put in.
"And my cue is to develop him /?
Make him more human, Mr.. Merri-
ield?"
"Well-yes! Yes, that's it, my
dear. Exactly! And the best way
to draw any young man out is to
arouse his natural instlncts-in an
entirely refined way. That's why I
want you to make love to him."
II think, Mr.. Merrifeld, you
mean that you want me to make
Jeremy make love to me! Isn't that
it? You want him Toto take the
initiative"
Yes! You are a smart girl, Miss
Dixon"
"Sa-a-s-ay" Bill Bailey put in
now, beaming happily at Gayle.
1T sure looks like a swell future
for Tucker! 1 had you doped out
as MIR. Merrifeld's family. Whew!"
Things have happened rather
fast this morning. Mr.. Bailey"
Gayle said, smiling at him end
thereby further enslaving the
young man. Anyway, as I under
stand things, Mr.. Mortified has no
family now? Beyond MIR. Tucker,
I mean"
mo, my dear. This is a-this is
mans house, for nearly 20
years." The old gentleman said
that soberly. "E1r. Weems, and
Graham, and q valet and cook and
some yard men. And-me."

sympathy and understanding.

idea, MIR. Merrifield!" Bills voice

CHAPTER THREE

WHEN Mr.. Merritield beloved
for his secretary, then ordered Bill
Bailey to be sent IN, Bill himself
heard the order and so started
through the door Immediately. Ana
sheer curiosity triunnphed inside
GAYLE Dixon; she followed Bill. Mr..
Merrifeld apparently expected her
also, because he motioned both of
them to chairs, even as he began
addressing Bill.
Young man. you are a most un-
usual person! What have you been
doing? Where did you come from
in such an astonishing-but l must
say, fortunate - manner? And
what in the devil am l going to do
with these pretty young women
you have hired so peremptorily?'
His old lips were pooched out ra-
Their pugnaciously, and he positive
ly glared at Bill. But he didn't give
Bill chance to reply.
Nov pay attention to me-you
hear? Whoever you are, you have
initiative. You have a kindly cour-
tesy, I observed, and abundant ell
ergy. Young sir, do you drink to
excess?"
1t was clear that he verify dared
Bill to say yes.
.I do not" Bill replied, emphati-
cally. IN fact, I do not drink at
all, Mr.. Mortified. But I am not

you. specialized in dramatics, but
I-Ill take anything! Honest, I
was desperate-say, thanks a mil
lion, Mr.. Merrifeld! When do I
start, sir?"
start! Start! :" The
old fellow was believing again.
Gayle looked at him in mild alarm.
"You have already started! You
began at Z o'clock this morning,
young sir! And you'll start every
day at that hour. You hear me! I'll
have no loafer& in my employ.
Work! Work built this nation,

Eyes, sir" they chorused, re-
specially.
