There's nothing to keep me from founding a store of my own. My father did it with no capital except his two hands and a willingless to work. I can do it, tool"
 Her heart sWelled with gratitude as it echoed his words. He could do it, too. But perhaps he wouldn't have to.
 Then you didn't intend to agree to MT. Herrick's proposi- i tion?"
 No. He's through. I only put him off to give me time to find the will"
 | "Oh, Andy!" The two small words had her heart in them.
 He could smile now. Well, are we going to read this will?"
 She could smile with him. "Yes, Andy, we're going to read l it."
 Sitting side by side in MT Her ricks office, they read the will which had kept them so far apart and which promised at last to bring them together.
 But Carol couldn't keep her eyes on the pages. She wanted to watch Andy's face.
 She saw the muscles of bis jaw tighten when he came to the part about the jury. She saw a look of admiration when he read the last paragraph which ordered the store sold and the proceeds given to charity.
 q understand a lot of things, now" he said slowly. Dad was perfectly justified in writing such a will. The jury is bound to vote me incompetent. But it doesn't matter. By disinheriting me, my father has willed me his greatest asset, Carol. Work! The

 Yes" It was good to share her secret with him. T typed it but ] gave MT. Dearborn my word that I would never reveal it's con- tents"
 "Yet you saved Dearborn $ reputation in spite of me. At least the store will be closed with it's fine name intac.."
 Tt won't be cloSed,' she said firmly. I'm on that jury, too. I'll get hearing. I know what you told MT. 1-crrick before you read the will I know you're go- ing to do what your father would have wanted"
 "Yes. I've been blind to the responsibility he always tried to show me But I see my way now. D
 "It's a way of happiness '
 He drew her close. Yes. Yet why should you do so much for my father and me?"
 She clung to him. "I had to dc it," she murmured into his shoulder, because"
 Because = you love me- he said huskily. I've been blind tc that, tool"
 EXultation swept away every doubt she had ever had of Andy Dearborn, bringing warm glow of ecstacy. Here was the real Andy, the one she had loved for six years.
 He lifted her chin and bent to kiss her lips.

 Well, she was caught. He would have to know the truth, come what would!

 T could see your fathers wishes respected. No matter whom it hurts!"
 You think I'm afraid it will hurt me?" he asked levelly.
 She hesitated an aching moment, dared at last to sweep aside all pretense. Yes, Andy. I think you are afraid"
 She saw his face tense. He didn't move.
 T can't blame you for thinking that, Carol. I've been an awful fool. You tried to save me from myself, and" he smiled bitterly, T referred you to Herrick!"

Her heart sinks when Andy, currently in- volved with sleek Linda Julian, turns management over to un- scrupulous Mir. Herrick, whose only idea is to make money. Her. rick planes employe Bill Reece for the toyland elevator accident that injures newsboy Nicky. Her rick also takes credit for cash adjustments made to customers by Carol without his knowledge, in an effort to save the stores reputation. At the annual store party Andy kisses Carol, indicates he Is through with Linda. Next day Carol finds the wills envelop in the vault, but the will is gone. Herrick then fires her for writing a retirement check for an employe he has dismissed, although again she was only following the Dear born policy. Returning to the store for a file she has forgotten, she overhears Andy telling Her rick he knows the truth about the elevator accident and the adjustments Carol had made. Herrick then says he knows the whereabouts of the will, tries to blackmail Andy into letting him run the store and forgetting it's terms. That night she returns to the store to search for the will. A light goes on-she is caught in Herricks office!

[ Mrs. Milligan and Mrs. Grover thanked me for their refunds Well, I've had dozens like them. Small complaints that you cor rected. Miss Fanny, too, came to tell me about her chicken farm. They all spoke of the letters I was supposed to have written.
 T didn't dream they'd come in person.
 They did. They said they were glad to see me running the store as my father had" In a moment, he added, it made me feel like a heel to know that I wasn't. I've just begun to see what their good will can mean.'
 "It's-important."
 Tt all made me realize what I should be doing. I did some checking up on Herrick and found that he was taking credit for everything you did, found that he blamed Bill unfairly" "YeS, I know. I was near the office when you told MT. Herrick he was through. It made me proud of you" she faltered, flor minute. Then I heard MT. Her rick's proposition and, practically your consent to it. I guess it won't do any good for me to argue that you're wrong in letting him de- stroy the will?"
 Would it make any difference to you?" There was a new light in his eyes. It twisted her heart with the torture of loving a man she couldn't respect.
 She lifted her chin. "Yes, Andy 1t would make a difference" He1 eyes told him why but her lips were quick to deny it. You see I promised your father that his wishes would be followed"
 So you were looking for the vii to keep your pledge to him? That. like you, Carol. But Herrick would never hide it in his office. He tolc me that if it should be found i could never be traced to him. Tha suggested plant to me. And I wa. right"
 "A plant? I thought of that, too looked several places"
 But not the one place h, would be most 3 likely to put it.. His hand went into his breas pocket and withdrew long fold cd paper. T have it here, Carol"
 You you mean you've fount the will, Andy?" she cried in credulously.
 Yes. You and I had tn same idea tonight. I had jus located the will when the nois you made removing picture startled me. You were directl. above me, you know"
 you find the will?"
 "The last place you would hay, looked. In one of those old cit, directories in your office!"

 No, I don't" he replied. "Yol disturbed me before I could reae it, Carol, mad I'm getting anxious to know the worst"
 Tt can't matter. can it, Andy?' She was remembering that ht wanted it destroyed anyway. q suppose you put MT. Herrick of only so you could get the will and do away with it yourself Now you won't have to sign his contract" she finished tonelessly
