in surprise. When he saw Anthony his face hardened.
 
 What do you want2" he rapped
 T want an explanation of that co-ordinated clothes idea that wal so rotten when I walked in here with it," Anthony answered grimly T want to know how 1t got so good after I left, that you're going to try 1t out. I want to know why you didn't play square with me. And want to kno wifi you think I'm go- ing to let you get away with that!"
 Why, you--you-"
 Save your breathl" advised Beatrice coldly. T happened to work out some of the details of that plan with MT. Bradley. Those samples he brought up were things I'd selected. We have the sales slips for everything but the dresses" :"
 MT. Fletcher got up He walked out from behind the big desk. His eyer were steelly. "An employe of this store walked in here with an idea" he said. He worked on 1t. The store likes the idea and is using 1t. What of it?" His voice was a bark. What do you expect now? Flowers?"
 But you took the credit for it!" Beatrice cried. "You didn't even see that he got raise--that his good work was acknowledged-you can't stand there and tell me this is the way things are usually handled
 Get out of my off1cel" MT. Fletcher turned back to his desk. Maybe you'd like to see the general superintendent about this terrible injustice" he flung over his shoulder.
 "That is exactly what we'll do." Beatrice reached for the telephone. "What's more, we'll see him right here in this ofilce."

What do you mean, Anthony? ] &on't underStand."
 "I didn't understand at first, nitherls he said bitterly. But it's Very simple. He laughed me out og his once. You and I worked and dreamed and got the samples together and--and after he kicked mo out, he stole my ideal"
 "But he can't get away with thatl"
 Cant he? Anthony asked hol- lDwiy. "You see the men measuring for carpet, don't you? I'm still sec- ton manager. Nothing else.
 Miss Danes been telling me what q wonderful merchandising idea 1t is, and how he explained 1t all to her at special meeting last night. New accessories counters have been ordered. Plans are laid out-but nobody said word to me. I sup- pose I ought to be thankful he hasn't fired mel"
 The savage anger she had ex- perienced once before in this de- partment came back to Beatrice. "Are you going to stand there and let him do 1t? If you are, An- tllony, I'm not! I worked on those ensembles, too! That's half my Ideal That dirty, double-crossing--''
 She hadn't known she knew such words, and Anthony hadn't known either, for he stared at her. The shock in his brown face stopped her.
 I'm sorry. 1--I have bad tem- per. But, Anthony. you can't let him get away with thisp She stamped her foot. Do something 1! GO right up to his office now and tell him. Go to Bruce Sheldrake! Come on, I'm going, too"
 T thought of that, but we can't prove anything"
 "yes, we canl We bought those hats and handbags and belts our selves, didn't we? You signed the slips for those dresses out of stock didn't you? Whats the matter with you?"
 Anthony picked up a salesbook. He snapped the rubber band. He opened and closed the book.
 At last he said, "The fact is, Bee, I'm realizing now what a bad mis- take I made. I should have listen- ed to the old man. He wanted me to take job in a bank. live Deen thinking I'll 90 around there lot lunch time and tell him I've thrown up the sponge" His lips twisted. Banks are more ethical chan stores, perhaps, and If I get @ world.shaking banking idea :"
 ''But, Anthony--you belong here! You're very valuable to this store! H.he very fact that he thought your edea good enough to steal why, he must be slipping 50 badly he's got to steal ideas somewhere! If he were any good, if his job were secure, he wouldn't do such things!"
 She grabbed his arm. You're efrpt leaving, you're going right up with me to that crooks ofiice!"
 Bee, if we do that, you'll lose your job. It's all right about me. As told you, 1-1 have a chance

at something else"
 He looked down at her, miser- ably. T didn't want to use any influence 1 might have - mean the influence of friends. I've always thought pull was shabby way to get ahead. But now. that I have you, live got to make more money And I'd do anything to get a better job. But it'll take time. And meanwhile, if you lose your job"
 "The devil with my job. An- thony, come up there with me this minute"
 She dragged him to the elevator. T think you should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up for your rights! Where's your pride Anthony? That merchandise man. ager has stolen from you. And you'd take 1t! You'd walk out and let him get the credit for some. thing you worked hard to create'
 The elevator operator turned around ard stared. Beatrice paid no attention.
 On the sixth floor, Anthony drew Beatrice into the corner near the fire exit His face was very sober. He put his hands on her shoulders, looked squarely into her eyes.
 T don't want you to do this just for me, Bee" he said. I'm all for it. and I'm mad clear through, and I can get another job anyway. But it'll make trouble for you. Are you sure you want to?"
 "Of course, I'm sure!" She patted his lean cheek. Don't worry about me T can take care of myself. You'd better start worrying about that merchandise manager. I'm go- ing to kill himl"
 "Bee, listen." His arms frightened. "1'll go in by myself. That way, he can't blame you"
 T wouldn't miss 1t for the worldl" But she was touched at Anthony's concern for her.
 He said, "All right, if that's the way you want it." His smile flashed. T might as well tell you the truth. was intending to come up here and wipe the floor up with him, just for luck, even if couldn't prove anything. But l didn't want you mixed up in 1t in any way.'
 There was a stenographer outside the merchandise managers office. T don't know If MT. Fletcher can see you now" she said doubtfully. What is 1t about?"
 Beatrice walked right past her and opened the door. Tn the inn- posing office, small paunchy man sat at large desk. He looked up

ing. The clothes were warm. They
could not have possibly been out in
the night.
That is the story. 1t is a true story
unless you want to presume that
DR.. Mitchell, President of The Asso-
citation of American Physicians and
the American Neurological Associa-
ton, told tall tale for no reason"
DR.. Mitchell spent his summers in
his Deer Park retreat writing. He
wrote numerous novels, none of which
l can at present recall.
Like DR.. Mitchell, the Davidsons
enjoyed isolation. They, however,
liked to entertain their friends. They
not only entertained in their Mt
Lake Park residence but also at
'Kenjocity' (the Indian appelation for
Ear away from the crowd") another
summer residence on the Ohio river
below Parkersburg, but on the Ohio
side. This was the ancestral home of
Mrs. E. l.. (Nettie) Davidson. Her
husband reconditioned the home and
it's environs. Just two weeks before
she passed away we visited her and
her brother, the Rev F. l. Johnson, at
'Kenjocity'. 1t was the time Of roses.
We spent much of our time sitting
in comfortable chairs on the point
stories were told that moon-lit, rose
scented evening of ancient lands,
peoples, and haunted palaces.
And now the Davidson's have
joined their friend, DR.. Mitchell
and their earthly habitations are now
haunted with memories, but memories
of beauty, and replete with spiritual
coincidence and mystery.
