CHAPTER "


Andy came late 10 the office the
next morning. I've been TO Mr..
Benson's. ! hadn't heard that he
Was dead. They don't know much
about the will, though i under
stand my father made one four
months ago. A new one"
Carols hands were cold She
dreaded for him TO see that will.
He was bound to resent her be-
ing named In IT. Particularly the
part she WAS TO play.
The more delay in locating 1t,
the better for her. 1t would give
her time TO think.
Yes. he made one" she adj

Relief swept over her. II was
only temporary respite. OF
course they'd find 1t in a few days
and then Andy would know the
worst.
could II be with his personal
papers," Andy asked.
Il doubt 1t. / go through them
from the vault and wen see"
She went for them at once. The
vault was a small room built in
to the store on the fourth floor.
Its thick steel door opened with
a combination which Carol knew.
Her deft fingers spun the dial, the
lock clicked and she entered.
She glanced around. Confidential
information for the management
lined the shelves circling the wall.
On one side, letter files and mis-
oellaneous papers. On the other,
reeeipted bills and books filled
with inventory records stacked al
most TO the ceiling. Carol smiled
when she saw those books. They
began in 1891 and went all the
way to 1941. Each year Mr.. Dear
born referred to the one OF the
preceding year to compare th'
figures. He rarely needed any OF
the others. But he liked to KEEP
them. 1t pleased him to be able
10 40 back and see what stock hs
carried in such and such year
after the World War or on theii
25th anniversary.
The inventory records reminded
Carol of the shelf of old city di'
rectories in her office. They didn'i

worthless. Mr.. Dearborn ha,
wanted her to save them. As lonj
as she had been with the store n
one had ever used old ones.
She looked now at the safe IL
ore end Of the vault. Mr.. Dear
born might have put the Wi
there. She went to II and peerei
inside. The interior was bar
of anything but black money boxs
and bags Of change. Again sh

The logical place for it was i
the bank or at home. She said a

Small Turnover
in State Jobs
Civil Service Head
Cites Low DismissoIs

CLEANSING, Feb. 22.-(R-
Paul +. Anderson, acting State
Civil Service director, said to-
day dismissals of state employees
through February 10 of this
year totaled 81, compared to ZIG
during the same period of 1899.
Anderson pointed out the new
Civil Service Commission, OPP
Grating under provisions Of q
constitutional amendment, had
warned against "promiscuous
dismissals."
The year 1899 was selected for
the comparison, 1t was ex-
planned, because the state ad-
ministration changed hands then
and in 1941.
Anderson pointed out an
economy in state funds by re-
ferring to q civil service study
commission of 1899 which re-
ported the cost of training new
employees made the price of each
turnover in state employment
from $50 to $500.
