he watched this loveliest child blossoming into womanhood, We won't be able to keep her much longer, Dora. Beauty like hers is made for much finer setting!"
 Yet Dora Tucker had never understood this girl, flesh of her flesh, who was so different from her other children = almost like a stranger at times. Diana, with her red gold curls, creamy skin and wide-Set gray eyes with their wondering, seeking look, had al- ways drawn more attention than any of the others.
 The outer door opened and Richard Thorpe came in, followed by tall man who walked with a long swinging stride and carried a brief case. Nodding briefly to Diana, they passed into MT. Thorpe's private office and closed the door.
 Diana wondered If the tall man was a new client. Another lawyer peTtlapS, lnere was SOmetnlng striking, distinguished even, about his appearance. She had seen that he had a strong, jutting jaw and blue eyes which swept Diana briefly, but long enough to con- vey an appreciation of her ap- pearance.
 She turned back to her con- temptation of the street below. Before another hour had passed, she would be one of that hurrying throng = but without destination. During her two months with Dur bin and Thorpe. she had not man. aged to save anything. She had needed shoes and a winter coat. Dresses to make her presentable at the office. Food and shelter. During the last two weeks she had been exceedingly frugal. She had eaten fruit in her room for breakfast, a sandwich at noon, only allowing herself one good meal day and for a girl whose

 There ere 12 instances Of com. bined grades, tFl 10 of WatrehuFyh schools, the report showed, the others being Chase, Kinggbury, Ma- loney, Merriman, Mufcahy, Russell, glocuill, Sprague and Walsh. The appointment of i2 new teachers would add approximately e24OO to the school budget, tlie report 'con- tinued.
 With the exception of Lincoln school and the open air school, obth of which are O1e-fooul buildings, Abbott hes the lowest teacher load in the city, with ID.B pupils per teacher, in contrast with a city average of 27.S. If another teacher were appointed here, the. load would faii to i7.3.

As she took her seat at the desk, Diana wondered why such a handsome man as Richard Thorpe should have such a disagreeable dis- position.
 He began to dictate the opening sentences of an agreement between Laird and Burton, publishers, par- ties of the first part, and Stephen Curt, writer on economies, current history, and politics, party of tlAA second part, for the publication in book form of series of articles heretofore appearing in the National News"
 Diana's eyes left the notebook and travelled to the figure standing at the window looking out on the win~ ter scene as she had done. Every one knew about stephen Curt, one of the country's most popular and highest paid writers and political commentators. So this was he-the man whom Diana's father called the "smartest man in America" MT. Tucker followed Curtis views avidly, based his own largely upon them. stephen Curtis searching insight in- to national questions had attracted wide attention. He was younger than she had thought he would be mot a great deal over 30, she de- cided. There was a suggestion of hidden strength in his tall figure, in the jutting chin. He had dark hair that curled imperiously back from his brow and blue eyes that looked like a frozen-over lake. She wondered, irrelevantly, how 1t would be to gaze into those eyes If they should suddenly become warm and tender.

The offices of Durbin and Thorpe were exactly like any other success .lul law firms = the usual, rather
 musty, book-lined affair, But to
 Diana Tucker these rooms repre-
 tented security of the most desirable
 Sort on thiS, the last afternoon Of her two weeks notice.
 Her dismissal had not come eX.
 Actly as 6 surprise. She had been
 nervous and iil-at-ease ever since
 Ghe had taken the job, MT, Dur bin had been kind and consider sste, admonlshing her to take
 Nings easily and calmly, but Expeditions had become the night-
 mares of her existence, and deeds, .siIls, and codicils anathema to
 Aer soul.
 Richard Thorpe, the junior partner whose personal secretary she Was really supposed to be, had hot heen so patient with her mis- takes. Diana had disliked him in. btantly. An extraordinarily nand- some man with . slave-driver complex. He was rude and dis- Rsreeably arrogant, and let those who worked for him know he considered them miles beneath him. Yet the file clerk had hinted that Thorpe, himself, had not been long in the higher social strata. That he had married money; that his wife had arranged the part nership with the aged Durhin and that her influence had assured Thorpe's position in the com. .Founity.
 Diana knew that he had numer- .ous affairs" with women posing As clients, and when she first came into the office, she made the mistake of refusing his invitation ' to dinner rather coldly. There- :. after he had become her tor- . mentor. Diana was sure he pur- ' posely made things difficult for l. her--humiliated her on every pos- 1, sible occasion.
 , Miss Montgomery, e caustic , young lady with fawn colored , hair. an asSertive manner and 10 vears' legal experience, had come & week before. Efficiency fairly : ooSed from Miss Montgomery's lacquered finger tips, and since her coming Diana had been rele- gated to such unimportant tasks as greeting clients and opening the mall. Of course, Miss Mont : gomery could have done all this too, with scarcely an extra flicker . of her mascaraed lashes. They . did not really need Diana. But . 1t would have been unethical to cast her out without the cus- ..tomary notice.
 Alone for Q moment in the outer ofilce, Diana walked to the window and looked out. The first snow of the season swirled in eddying circles about the heads of pedestrians in Center street eight stories below. Lights from shop windows made lit- tle spots of brilliance on the side- walks in the fast-gathe-ing gloom. Across the street in a small park, sparrows picked daintily at frozen berry bushes. A kaleidoscopic view of activity 1t was, and one that never saSled to thrill farm-bred Diana. If ahe should have to leave it hll-l
 She thought of how things looked at home now-she'd prob ably be back at the farm in a few days. Desolate, windswept barrenneSS and after this taste 9g another life, desperate loneli- ness.
 Not that Diana did not love her home. The spacious clapboard house had always been her spe- sial haven. Her hard working mother and father, her sister and brothers were more than dear to nor Rafk her father had said xyha,,

appetite was formed on a farm this entailed some sacrifice.
 There was $S in her purse now MT. Durbin would give her a check for $20 more and when that was gone
 They'd be glad to have her back nt the farm, She was really needed there. Her mother was always complaining because of the fact that when her two daugh- ters were old enough to be of some help they had left - Elsa to marry young garage mechanic in Forston, and Diana to study at the business college in town. She simply couldn't understand why the girls wanted to leave. There was plenty of everything on the farm.
 There was Bill Jackson, too, who ran the store at the cross roads and who wanted to marry Diana. Her mother always said she couldn't see what more Diana wanted than Bill and the com- fortable home he would give her. Diana often wondered. too. She was fond of Bill. They'd gone through school together. He was thrifty, a good companion. hand some in way. Yet shed said:
 Please, Bill, I must have a try at making my own way"
 I'll wait" he answered, until you come back and you will come back. The love of the land Is bred in your bones, Diana"
 Now 1t looked like Bill might be right-she'd be going home in few days. Unless something turned up. Like MT. Micawber, Diana always kept that breath less possibility before her. Every phase of city life thrilled her -- the bright restaurants, the inviting movie places, the hustle and hurry and excitement. Her room was hardly more than a cubicle with only the absolutely necessary pieces of furniture. But being on her own satisfied something within
 
 her immoderately, and her appoint ment to the offices of Durbin and Thorpe had seemed heaven-sent.
 If she had only been able to meet the requirements. If only Thorpe had been a little more tolerant
 
 The sound of Richard Thorpe's buzzer brought her back to reality, and she hastened to get her note book and pencil. She didn't like taking dictation from Thorpe any more than he liked giving 1t to her and knew that if Miss Montgomery had been free at the moment he would have called her. But Diana sprang to do his bidding with alac- rity, knowing 1t would mean that the might stay in the warmly light. sd rooms an hour or SO longer.

Perfect Score

John Max accomplished some
thing Monday night that has been
the goal OF bowlers for 35 years
here in Ypsilanti as he piled in ~
straight strikes to hang up the
only perfect 800 game every record
ed in this city's bowling history.
Rolling In the doubles tourna-
ment which has been going on at
Recreation Alleys, Max connected
with his history-making score in
his second game after having hit
223 in his first game. He finished
with a PA for a spectacular 1877
series.
In the slightly less than four de-
cades that the ten pin sport has
been established here three men

however, as Max stepped up and
swept the alley on his final ball to
chalk up his twelfth successive
strike.
Max and his partner, Julius
Hubscher, together accounted for
total OF 1873 pins which easily
defeated Markham and Boyle, their
opponents who were able 20 total
but 95l which includes a 81 pin
handicap.
