His secretary, usually so pleasant,
was too rushed with work to do

indicating she would have to wait
for her interview.
But Mary was in no mood to

they were deciding the fate Of

without looking up from her work.
Mary felt chills of apprehension
creep up and down her spine. They
we're firing Bruce-or worse, plan

sure Of it, She looked hopelessly at
the closed door. When the executive
meeting was over, it would be too
late. But it mustn't be! She had to
tell them! Possessed by the urgency
Of the thought, she rushed across
the room and, before the secretary
could call out, pushed open the door
Of Danver's private Office.
Fourteen men looked - from the
long conference table as the small,
shining-eyed girl slipped into the
room, and they watched her with
amazement as she advanced upon
them, with the reckless violent
speed Of a cyclone. Danver stood up
to stop her with frowning courtesy.
Miss Dexter, IL you'll wait in
the outer Office, I'll see you when
the meeting is over"
Mary had reached Danver's side

body, in its green suede frock,
trembling with determination, her
green eyes blazing with purpose. Il

she paused for breath, her eyes TO-
cused for the first time on the faces
of her imposing audience. Her heart
sank at their expressions. They had
listened calmly to her evidence

She felt Danver's hand on her
shoulder, heard him thanking her
and asking her to wait for her in

from the room to sit miserably in
the outer Office. She found herself
feeling the same bitter resentment
toward these men that Bruce felt.

BY the time Danver called her
back in, seated her in her usual

finished, he raised his eyes for a

as she rose TO leave, on the crest Of
