SYNOPSIS Senator Jeffrey Murray, secretly discussing under-cover plans to put over a monopoly bill in the Legislature, is overheard by Gale Holoway, pretty small-town girl, looking for a position. Her accidental eavesdropping brings her a S2SO monthly job as Murray's secretary. Visiting Nan Parkson, political hostess. Gale ie bumped into a swimming pool by Marie Oibbins, deprived of her job by Gale. I Joe Nash, Governor McKurth's handsome secretary, rescues her. Lster, Murray is furious when he finds Gale going through his secret files, but his ire vanishes and he insists she accept an apartment, adjoining his, rent free, as he sometimes works at night and wants her within call. Playing bridge at the Parkson home, Gale wins 140 as partner to Cedric Colburn, powerful lobbyist who has much to gain if Murray's bill is passed. Opposing them are the men who were discussing the bill with Murray, Assemblyman Tom Olmstead and Jim Drake, corporation representative. In the privacy of Nan's boudoir, when Gale tells her hostess she likes to play bridge with Colburn, Nan retorts: “I'm afraid there isn't much i you could do about it if you didn't. I He's a stubborn man. Perhaps that’s why he's gone so far.” Returning to the living room. Gale overhears Colburn marveling over her and saying **. . . a smart girl like this one could turn the trick . . Next night, Gale dines with Senator Murray. Suddenly, an intoxicated Colburn appears and asks her to dance. “Why certainly,” says Murray, as though it were a special privilege he alone could bestow. CHAPTER NINK To Gale, it was a new Colburn, a man so differeat from the silent one she had known before, that if she had closed her eyes she wouldn’t have recognized him. He was talkative of all things. He told her how he admired her beauty, her card playing, her smartness and then he went farther than he would ever have gone had he been sober. Os this sbe was certain. Colburn, the lobbyist, told her that she could go a long way—with him, that the monopoly bill waa his baby and that he would win. He always won. Ho, Colburn, was the greatest man in the Legislature, even though he was not “in" it. He said more, too, about his background, how he had risen from a nothing to a somebody, but that he waa still despised by even the men he made and that, some day, he would show them. Gale tried to quiet him, but the music played on and Colburn stumbled along with it by step and by word. Finally he described Senator Murray as a "numbskull" going to become a wealthy man because he, Colburn, had arranged it. He raid the monopoly bill would make Murray the attorney in charge of one of the world's largest companies, with gn enormous annual retainer. And then the music ended and he took her back to her table, thanked her, hiccoughed and went away. Murray could think of nothing to say, under the circumstances, and when the music started again, he asked Gale to dance. She accepted. But she was slek at heart—siek that she had ever tome in contact with such people. She followed Murray's stops automatically and then—suddenly—she < left a bewildered senator standing in the midst of the danee floor as she fled toward the cool, clean night air. Gale’s mind was in too much of a turmoil to heed the fact that she was walking unescorted along the sidewa'ks in a most incongruous menm*—icr wide-brimmed straw flying "" 11 ’'• ,l ‘ ' ••)« I)

Hot coffee was what she wanted most She tossed a dressing eape over her shoulders and went Into her kitchen to brew the eoffee while her mind brewed on that one question: “What shall I do?" The busrer sounded and in a mln ■ irte, Senator Murray, carrying her wrap, gloves and purse, stood before her door. "Oh." she said, “thank youl” And took the things from him. “Why run out on me?” There was

"May I coma in?" he asked. "Certainly,” she said, and stood aside for him to enter. He tossed his hat and coat upon the cheaterfield and seated himself in an upholstered ehair. "Tell mo about it,” he asked. “There isn't much to tell. Perhaps I was silly, but, Colburn told mo that you had introduced the monopoly bill because it would get you a position as an attorney for one of the largest companies in the world." She looked at him for verification and he nodded his head. “My idea,” she continued, “had always been that legislators were elected to represent the people in their districts and not simply to feather their own nests. Perhaps I had the wrong idea.” She waited for him to answer. "Go on,” was all he said. “Well, somehow or other, I suddenly became sorry that I was any Although the background for thio atorg it authentic, the oiorg iteeU ia entirely Actional end the character! are imaginary.
