jjiny oiacKmau; mat s wnat it u he exploded. "But steer away from the courts and the newspapers! Compromise with her, somehow. I'll have .to pay it all if she stands pat, I sup pose; but see it she won't listen to reason say about five thousand dollars." "I'll see her this afternoon," nodded Stuart He made a . gesture towards the door through which Gertrude Mey er had gone. "Has that one an aunt, too?" "Now look here Stuart, drop that tone!" Scott was very nearly permitting himself to become angry. "Just because I made one mistake is no reason to banter me with It This girl is seventeen years old and she's under my protection." 4. i,. ; i .. . .... . . , "So it was a mistake about the Ellis girl, eh?" queried Stuart sarcastically. "It was her own fault She encouraged it. Business life is full of that kind. They step in with their eyes open and then they shriek to high heaven. You know, Stuart, I believe there are a lot of pretty little pirates running around from one job to another just hoping that some man will try to hold their hand or something so that they can trot into a courtroom and tell their tale of woe to . a jury of shoe clerks and ice-wagon drivers that beat their own wives at home but get gallant over some little working girl's enlfQea and find a ten-thousand-dollar verdict with a straight face when they couldn't go out and earn a dime. I tell you the system's all wrong. The man always gets the worst of it he hasn't any protection at all!" His voice had a wail of genuine self-pity in it at the end. One would have thought he was about to weep over the sorry plight of the poor business men who love not wisely but too generally. Stuart laughed in his face. I "Don't despair; I'll protect you!" he encouraged. "Only don't pick another j one under age. That makes it rotten to handle. That new one's a good looking kid " Scott became angry. "I asked you to leave her out of this ; will you please! If she behaves, ; she's as safe as in God's pocket." "As safe as in a den of lions." remarked Stuart He went to the door. As he opened it and went out, he : turned to Scott and said with a hard smile: "Your life is just one damn stenographer after another!" j Scott glared after him for a moment, l & -1 A 1-1 A t I men reiurneu 10 ois aes. He pressed the button for Crane. The bookkeeper entered. "Where's the girl the stenographer?" asked Scott crossly. "I'm very sorry, sir," said Crane apologetically, "but she is quite incompetent." "That's my affair." "But, sir. bhe cannot take the simplest dictation!" persisted ' Crane. "We'll teach her. She is a smart willing girl. "But I have taken the liberty, sir" Crane continued, timidly. "The reports had to be written. There was l J l J i , One woman wbq uiuu i gei a uemring a very competent woman, sir, very competent." "Well, what about her?" snappcl Scott, t-' I "She Is writing the reports, sir." i "What! Who's hiring the help j here?" Scott rose to his feet, trans- j vrath. "You didn't let that girl out?" "No, sir; she ia atlll In there; but the other ore, sir, she " "I don't want any other one. Ask her In here. 'Yes, alrj thank you, sir." "Thank you." The new stenographer entered slow ly. "Let's get to busine&c," said Scott shortly, reseating himself at his desk and burrowing into a pilo of letters. "Now, if you'll comj here I'll give you Bomn dictation." The girl got her pencil auJ pad, and coming nervously to nJa desk, sat down, waiting fcr him to begin.

scott picked one letter out of the batch in his hand, and glancing it over, began to dictate, rising from his seat and walking up and down the office as he did so: " 'Messrs. Barton & Barton, Halifax. Nova Scotia Gentlemen: My personal attention has been directed to the fact that you continue to charge us duties on shipments of furs. This is absolute ' " He stopped and looked at her. She was floundering helplessly behind his words. "Am I running away from you?" he asked paternally. " 'You continue ' " she indicated. "Oh, yes. Let me see." He began to dictate again, slowly and deliberately, " 'you continue to charge us duties on fur shipments. I made it very clear ,. ,4. . . v.'--that prices quoted did not Include tariff charges. Unless I receive a check immediately, we will have to sever business relations. I mean this, and will not tolerate any further equivocation "I'm afraid I didn't understand that last word," interrupted the girl. '"Equivocation." he replied; and finally, when she could not catch the word at all, he gave her a new read ing of the sentence. ; Ho returned to bis desk and was j going through more letters when the 'phone rang. He picked up the reJ ceiver, made a luncheon engagement i with a business acquaintance, and pro- : ceeded with the letters. Crane entered and advised him that several people were waiting to see him. Scott went out of the office to see the only one of them he wanted to see the New York Central freight agent. "Shall I show him in here?" asked ! Crane. "No! No! No one in here!" shouted Scott. Crane went out; and Scott on his way out after him, stopped behind his new stenographer and looked over her shoulder at the letter she had on the machine. "Well, how is it?" he asked In dulcet accents. "I guess I'll get it all right. I'm a little nervous," replied the little stenographer, looking up. "Don't be alarmed. I'll be very patient," he said paternally. She smiled gratefully. "Don't be afraid to tell me if you lose your way," he added, his tone a fatherly, protecting caress. As Jerrold R. went out to talk to the freight agent, his son Jack, a clean-cut young fellow, with a brisk, businesslike air, entered. He introduced himself to the new stenographer, and they . found themselves quite naturally drifting Into an extended conversation, she telling of i the difficulties she had had In getting 1 I a position, he sympathizing with her, : and finding abruptly, to his own surprise, that his sympathy was real, and not a polite pose. "Now that you're here on the Job, your troubles are over, aren't they?" he asked. "I'm afraid they're Just beginning." "Why, what's the matter?" "I'm all confused. My head ia just spinning." She put her hands up to j her head a head around which was I wound a coronal of golden-brown hair, i and looked at him perplexedly out of s a pair of clear blue, almost childishly j sweet eyes. Jack felt something : warm spring up in his heart that he ! had never felt before, j "Why you'll get over - that In no time," he reassured. "I hope you ll like It here." "I'm sure I will everyone Is ao kind," agreed she. She looked down at the typewriter before her on the desk. "Are there two rs In tariff?" "No, one. Two f s. I don't suppose you know what that word means, do you?" "I don't know much about politics," she admitted. "I'm afraid I'm going to bo very stupid." "Not at all," he encouraged hastily. "If there's anything you don't understand, just save It till I come. In and III explain it to you. I think," he uAAnA "I'd better look in. eyery nojw

3 then to see I? there's anything yon .nt explained." "But you must be veryTmsy." "I keep pretty well occupied; but somehow I don't feel much like keep-' ing my mind on business this morn- j ing. And I ought to, too. I'm a member of the firm now, you know. It used to be Scott & Co. It's only been Scott & Son a short time." "Mr. Scott must be a fine man!" she said enthusiastically. "He is so generous." "The governor's a wonder," agreed Jack. "He scolds and shouts; but he has a good- heart" "He has surely been lovely to me," she murmured. "Who could help liking you?" asked Jack. She dropped her eyes suddenly and they encountered the unfinished letter on the typewriter again. "Do you put a comma betwen 'yours' and 'truly'?". she asked quickly. Jack smiled. "Depends' on to whom it is said. Now" he struck an attitude "If I were to say to you, 'I am yours truly, I think I should put exclamation points after each word." "But this is to some one In Halifax," said she, pretending not to understand. "No comma, then. There's probably, a tariff on commas, too." "I'm afraid you're laughing at me," smiled she rather ruefully. "I just can't get my brain working today." "I'm affected in the same way. You'll get over yours, though." "And you?" "I don't know I'm afraid not". He looked at her Intently." 'I nope not) he added. Jerrold R. entered and observed his son or rather bis stepson, for Jack was his wife's son by her first husband with marked disapproval. "Did you want to see me?" he asked pointedly. Jack looked up, plainly startled, explained his business, and finally left, reluctantly. His stepfather busied j himself at his desk. The stenographer brought her draft of his letter over i for his signature, and, when he read it and burst out laugnlng at the absurd mistakes in it, 6he began to cry.Instead ol becoming angry, he assumed the fatherly, benevolent attitude, took her to her seat, seated her In it, and putting the sheet of paper in her typewriter for her, was leaning over her, urging her to cheer up and try again, when the door swun; open and Miss Wiggins, as pretty and nervy as ever, walked in. Scott whirled around on bis heel. - "I beg your pardon, miss! The entrance is three doors below. This is a private door." 1 "I waited In there half an hour," announced Miss Wiggins pleasantly. "You said eleven o'clock." Jerrold R. gathered bis wits together and slid gracefully into his usual suave demeanor. "Oh oh, yes. I'm glad you came in." His tone became cordial. "Does your aversion to night work begin at home or only in offices?" "I don't mind it at home." "Have you a typewriter?" "Yes." "Well," he whirled the eyeglasses judicially "I have given up the idea of having my secretary catch up on the back work. My correspondence will be plenty for her, so if you wish tp take some work home with you, you may. Ill tell Crane to give you the reports and statements and explain Just what is wanted. Crane came in and interrupted. "The men are here from the Dank, sir," he said. "Oh, yes be right there ! " exclaimed Scott, and suiting the action to the word, he followed Crane, leaving the two young, women alone in his office. Catherine Wiggins walked over and stood behind little Gertrude Meyer's back, and watched her laboring on the typewriter. She glanced at the notebook. "You write the Munson system," she commented. Gertrude smiled faintly. "I write it; but I don't seem able to read itCatherine took up the notebook, mo-, tioned Gertrude out of the chair, and plumping herself down in it, put two sheets of paper and a carbon into the machine and tore through her notes like a threshing machine going downhill. - "There!" she said, and bonded the new stenographer the finished letter. "Did you ever work anywhere before?" she asked, putting on her gloves and rising. '"No," answered Gertrude. "How old are you?" "Seventeen eighteen next July." "Mr. Scott ask you If you lived at home?" -'"Yew I do live5 at home." 11 "Did the old reprobate ask yon to co to lunch yet?"
