CHAPTER XXVIII Mike hated meet of all eoimng home to that dreary Sat after work. Then on* night, when they were all seated around the kitchen table at eupper. Mr* Shannon startled them by bursting into tear*. "1 cant go on living here. I just eant!" Mike, her arm around her mother, looked across at her father. “She’* right, dad. We must move. Me ail hat* IL" Tb* aext day. in one of her rare momenta of unburdening her soul to Mr Jenkins, Mike told him of her problem. “Hiat I* how It happened that, within a month, th* Shannon family moved bag and baggage into Connecticut onto an estate bordering the Connecticut River. Mike went up by bus over the week-end to help settle the place. It wa* a pleasant bouse, with wide w.ndows. a fireplace, and vines running not. Her father seemed like a new person. The work would be be admitted. “But Hl like iu And Jack s big enough to help ma." Mary and Jack were to finish their school there. _ Mike took a furnished room in town. She liked th* soli tods at first. Mr. Jenkins stopped by on* morning to ask bow th* family wa* getting on up in ths country. "Wail, my dear, when are you going to start school? It’s about time you got busy." “You know, 1 think I might." Th* idea appealed to the girl. Mike that tugbt enrolled in tesinoM college. She began to study hard. . . . A few month* later. Mr. Jenkin* got her a temporary job In a big insurance office. Mike never heard ter old name 1 anymore. She wa* “Mis* Shannon" to everybody tn her new position. She had given notice at the hotel Everybody wa* kind about her going. Th* girl* gav* her a party, and Mr. Downey told her to com* baek If she wa* disappointed tn her new job. It wa* harder going than she ted thought it would be. She had spent five years thar*. Sh**d grown up with the place. But she earn* to like the new job. Mike was a littie nervous in the office, a little uncertain of herself. The girls called her “stand offish." When September came, tbe girl whose place Mike wa* taktag asked for another month’s laave, and Mik* stayed on She broke with th* old life. All ebe knew of Handsome was wbat she gleaned from reading the newspaper*. And that was plenty, if you rrnvemoer Regan * second great sea son in the big league. The girl read every detail of hl* exploits "Ar 4 1 thought he couldn’t get along without ms!" Mik* would remind herself as sb* read. Handsome wa* the pitching s*nsauon of tb* country. Magaxine* printed long arttdsa about hun. Iris, es course. was photographed until Mike eould have screamed Handsome wa* accepted aven by th* moat skeptical. In the same breath th* experts talked of Regan and Gomel and Grove and Hubteli. Only Hand•omo w M Just starting. He was Just 8&. When Robert Km yon. just out »f Harvard, cams into th* office to learn the executive rad of tb* business. Brar.ton, th* office manager, told Mik* U> work for young Kenyon aa secretary ster.egrapher. Bran ton figured, a* th* newest girl, she would be the toast teip to the young man who was th* cousin of a board member. Branton always resented being forced to take on any young men frrm Park Avenue. “Crown prtaeee!'* Brunton called them For tfrsnton w*s a self made man. without formal education, wbo ted climbed close to the top. The days ficw for Mik* Another World * Series was In the offing Mike listened to the talk around her at tbe offic*. Mid nothing.

Thst* days, ah* could open up the psper, am om of those Itet Uttar** of Regan spread down U.s whole l«ngth of th* mwspaper poqc without that desperate, ska feeling. Two day * hgfor* the Series began.

filing ease against the wall. Branton, as h* came in. glanced at bis watch, but said nothing about Kenyon’s late arrival at th* office. "I’m tn a bit.af trouble, Kenyon," Branton beg«n.»“Mr Weldon, you know, from Little Rock, he's an ex* e*i!*nt customer. He's wired us to get Uckcts for the World's Serie*. I’ve contacted everybody 1 know." Branton let a little venom creep into his voice. “You know so many people. You get u* t'«o seu ... for all six games. Th* office will pay for them. If we ean get them, that should set u* with Weldon for another five year*." K«ny°n* brows contracted: "I wish I d known two day* ago," Kenhad • and gave them to dad. be added. Kenyon s father was important in Wall Street. "1 wasn't fortunate enough to have a eet.” Branton went on in a voice. “But suraiy. you should be able to get two seta, with your connections." Branton turned on his heel and went out. Kenyon let out a groan. “Isn’t that nice. Shannon! Where th* devil am I going to dig up licketa? There just aren't any.” He wrote down three names: 'Try to get them on the telephone.- be said The day wore on. No Ucket*. Mike exhausted every name Kenyon had given ber. Once. Branton came m •?* wheU »* r ‘here was any word. “Be sure and tel) Mr. Kenyon w* must have the Uckets." After Branton had gone. Mike done in tbe officv. put in a call for Wish Malone. She waited until almost six to try. She had not heard from turn sine* eh* left th* Eureka Hotel. But Wish was bar friend. "Wish, you'll think I'm a meany to you only when I Med help." <»,Ji? l •‘■'’•J 1 ** Ck yoU ' Wish replied quickly. “You know if 1 Ts*. t"cnty-fiv* y Mr * younger, youd be Mrs. Malone!" Mike explained th* whole situation. told Malone all about her new job. Wish listened. He’d have dupe anything in the world U kelp Mike. But this was * big order. “Ail right. 11l get those tickets if I have to steal them. t’U send them over by messenger first thing in the morning." Tbe nett morning, Branton was in ter office almost before Milt* could get ter hat eg. and before Konyon bad arrived. To Branton's determined questioning. Mike rePlied. “Well know by noon. Mr. Branton. Well tot you know just th* moment w* hear." Before they settled down to the mail, a mswaMger came with a letter tor Mike. She gave him a coin, Hit open tbe envelope. p<-«p*i InKaayon was talking over the telephone in a last futile effort He Hammed up th* recotver. "Mr. Kenyon. I want a promise from you: Pless* don't ask me how or wher* I got th***?" Kenyon* ey*s stuck out m Mike laid th* twe •«U of Uckets before him. “Good Lord! You're a sweetheart! Promise? IU promts* anything—" Ths telephone intenaptod Kenyoas joyous declaration. It was Hranton. “Hl cteck with Mr. Kenyon." Mik* told him. She put her band over the transmitter. "Wbat shall I tel) him?** Kenyon thought a minute. •*Tell him I mIM that 1 had the tickets." Mik* turned to th* telephone) "Tee, Mr. Branton, Mr. Kenyon has the tickets. ’’ Mike could almost hear Branton'* gasp as surprise. ’’Ye*, they’re her* on Mr. Kenyon’s desk " Mik* hung up th* receiver. “He say* he’s sending in for them." Mike put the tickets quickly Into an office envoiope, throwing away tteone in which they had arrived "What * secretary you turned out to be!" Kenyon said, looking at Mik* in open admiration, admiration which included other virtue* beside* the Ucket-getting . That night when M ike got home to her small bedroom, there wa* a big box of flowers for her with Kenyen’s card.
