She is told he must have special treatments that Will cost tV)O. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE MONA arrived at the office next morning with the determination to approach Mr. Garretson in the matter of the loan. At $5 a week saved from her salary or forfeited from her next advance, she could repay the amount in a little over two years. Within two years she could expect two increases in salary. Turning these to the repayment of her debt, she would be a.s well off as at present. Better, of course, with Dad well again and home. She had made up her mind quite completely to forget Barry Townsend. Barry was engaged to Genevieve Dower. Genevieve Dower, who knew the same people he knew, was photographed at Palm Beach find Piping Rock, who had been “presented” at Pierre’s. Barry was engaged and his pretty speeches to Mona had meant nothing whatever, except a manner of passing away the time. That was that! At 10 o’clock Mona cautiously approached Mollie Drury to ask Mr. Garretson’s plans for the day. "Want to see him in a good mood, do you?” repeated Mollie. ‘‘What do you want the Empire State building?” Mr. Garretson’s alacrity to make the path smooth for Miss Moran was no sore point with Mollie, nor was it a secret. Mona had received several raises since Moliie had, but the private secretary’s initial salary had been much larger. “I’m going to ask a favor,” Mona replied. Mollie observed, “Sure’ he’ll do it. All you have to do is tell him what it is!” “Mr. Garretson may not want to

MANY are puzzled as to what induced Delph McKesson, Democratic floor leader, on one day to lead the fight to pass the bill setting the maximum levy on real property at $1.50 and a few days later to seek to amend another bill to nullify the action of the former. The reason is explained best by the single word, “strategy.” Just as when in war the high command indulges in what is termed strategy, whether it is successful or otherwise, so does a political high command seek to exercise the same form of mental gymnastics. McKesson’s original plan was twofold. First, because the Democratic platform for the coming campaign pledges a $1.50 maximum “if possible,’’ it was necessary to follow in the tracks of the Republican senate, which passed the measure, and do likewise. Second, if the maximum arbitrarily is placed at $1.50, new sources of revenue must be tapped. Like many of the outstanding students of governmental economics, McKesson is a firm believer in the personal and corporate income tax, because it is a levy on earning power.

do this, though.” Mona added, not in the least ruffled by ihe slightly caustic note in the other girl's voice. “Is it a big favor?” “Big enough. If you’ll tip me off how he'6 feeling—” "Sure. If the bass Isn’t turning handsprings or looking like the cat that swallowed the canary, I’ll let you know.” Mona thanked her. “And if it’s all right, try to make an appointment for me, will you, Mollie? I’ll do something for you some day.” Eleven o’clock and Mr. Garretson arrived simultaneously. The lawyer seemed, moreover, to be in the best of moods. Gray haired, tall and trimly built, he was a truly distinguished looking man. He set to work immediately. Half a dozen telephone calls, an argument with a friend over which golfer had beaten the other, letters, hurried plans for the afternoon’s appointments and then he paused, looking pensive. He placed his finger tips together and without glancing toward Mollie asked her abruptly to send in Miss Moran. “Great Scott—he’s getting clairvoyant!” breathed Mollie when she appeared beside Mona's desk. “I was just ready to ask him about you when he tells me to bring you in.” She eyed Mona critically. “Wipe off a little of that war paint, darling. The bass likes you for your ‘freshness and charm. it tt tt FACE to face with her employer in his private office, Mona tried to summon courage for her request. Mr. Garretson greeted her as deferentially as though she were a lucrative, valued client. “Good morning. Sit down, please.” He looked at her disturbingly and resumed his seat as Mona sank into the chair opposite. The width of the shining desk, scrupulously neat, lay between them. Glancing nervously at his blotter pad, Mona thought it surprisingly bare to be the base of operations for a firm the size of Garretson’s. Mr. Garretson first mentioned Mona’s intended appointment. “I happened to catch sight of your name on Miss Drury’s pad, this morning,” he apologized. Mona, thus encouraged, slid for--ward in her chair and picked nervously at the desk top. “I—l want to borrow some money, Mr. Garretson. That is, I want an advance.” He nodded. “My father Is ill,” she went on bravely. “I need a sum larger than I can save in time to have it do any good. I need SSOO and I thought I could pay it back in about two years.

It seemed to him that enactments of the $1.50 law would make it be absolutely necessary for the Republican senate to recede from its position against the income tax and pass the house measure. But, evidently quite oblivious of the precarious position in which the tax limitation law had placed state finances and all subordinate governmental units, the senate refuses to pass the income tax bill. Some members say they will vote for a levy on personal earnings, but, holding true to their doctrine of protection for the vested interests, they are opposed to that on corporations. Asa substitute, they propose a sales tax—a levy on the buyers which means additional heavy burdens on the small wage earner without cutting appreciably into the income of the wealthy. There is little possibility of a sales tax passing. Recognizing that this strategy had gone awry, McKesson sought to nullify the $1.50 law. True, the- farmers seeking to escape from the heavy tax burden believe this act to be their salvation. They give no thought, however, to the fact that to meet budgets it will be necessary for all units to make large loans which must be repaid through future levies.

“You can deduct it from my check every week or I'll forfeit any raise I might have in that time.” Again Mr. Garretson nodded, “I see. You may have it, of course. But tell me,” he leaned forward, “why are you so sure you will be with us for two years? Not” hastily “that we might contemplate a change but that you might. “You see,” he smiled charmingly, as he reached for his check book, “you are a very attractive young woman. Attractive young women are here today and gone tomorrow. Marriage—alas for the employer—snaps them up!” “But I am not going to marry!” Mona said blushing. u a tt MR. GARRETSON did not answer for an instant. He scrawled busily, signed and blotted the check. “That's what they all say.” The check folded, he laid it on the desk directly in front of her, and motioned toward it with one hand. "There is the amount you mentioned. Pay it back as you wish. Make your own arrangements. “And please forget the check for a moment while I make what may seem a strange suggestion. Request rather. I think I would call it a request.” He stared at Mona a moment and then proceeded. “This check is yours, no matter what answer you may give to this other matter. The two matters are distinct and separate. “I gave this my attention first because I wished to get it off your mind. I supposed your trouble was financial and financial worries often distress so deeply that other considerations may not receive fair attention. Therefore bear this in mind. The money—and more if you require it —is yours whatever your reaction to my request may be. “You say you are not going to be married. Are your affections involved?” Again he smiled. “Don’t misunderstand me. lam not proposing! But a certain understanding is necessary before I proceed. You have no one in mind?” “No one,” said Mona clearly. “But Mr. Garretson, I don’t see—” “That relieves me,” he told her. “Frankly, I was afraid that the rather dashing young man who calls in his car at s—but never mind! You say you are neither engaged nor expected to be? Very well. “Miss Moran, I have a client—that is, the firm has a client—who wishes to marry you. Don’t interrupt me, please! At the moment he is m. The marriage, for certain business reasons, must be performed rather soon. I can not go into that, but I assure you that, as such matters generally go, the reasons are acceptable. “It will not, I suppose, be a marriage such as you may have looked forward to. This client realizes his proposal is unusual. He is wealthy, charming, of excellent family. “He will give you a year during which you bear his name, sit at the head of his table, consider him as a husband. “At the end of that time you may be his wife in reality or go to Reno and receive a quiet adjustment. “He will treat you with the utmost respect and kindness. I need not mention generosity. Sums succh as this”—he indicated the check—“will be constantly available. You will have your own car, your own bank account, your own apartment in his home. “Now”—as Mona started to speak —“don’t answer just yet! Go back to your desk and think it over. Personally, I advise it. “You can not lose and you may gain a great deal. Happiness, I mean. In any case you always will be provided for plentifully.” MR. GARRETSON rose. “It’s been rather an ordeal, I don’t mind telling you, to put forward this strange request. But there were reasons why it could not be done otherwise.

“Think it over. Let me know by 3 o’clock this afternoon. If you agree—and again let me remark that you can not lose by the arrangement—in a year or so you can many’ someone else and bring him a small fortune! “If your answer is ‘yes’ we'll talk over more specific plans. If you decline well forget it.” “I’ll think it over.” “That's right!” He walked with her to the door. As he grasped the knob Mona raised her eyes uncertainly. “May I—may I asked who is doing me this honor?” she said timidly. Then she smiled, the fcrmality of her question sounded like a motion picture caption.
