DAY. . 12I, by McClur Newapaper HynMcat.) , "And we are sorry to state that we can do nothing to assist you in this mattcrV The hand of the unperturbed stenog rapher moved swiftly across the page. Sho was by no means surprised nt the words of her employer she was only too used to his hursh wuys nnd meth ods. She was startled, however, n few minutes later to noto a softer expres sion on tho old man's fnco than she had ever seen before. Ho began to speak, and soon she realized ho was telling her n story tho story of an ungrateful nephew, whom he had looked upon as u son. He had Intended him to enter his firm nnd ilnnlly to Inherit his fortune. In preparation for the bright future before the lad, he was sent to college;. "But what did that young scamp do," he fairly shouted nt the girl, "but run off with the dean's stenographer, A boy with his prospects to marry a mere . stenographer criminal 1" Miss Faroff moved uneasily in her seat. , "Mere stenographer," indeed. It occurred to her that in her employer's mind she wns summed up in Just those two words. She had often built castleB of her own, In which she pictured her self loving and being loved by a hand some and exceedingly wealthy young man. But now The old man went right on without noticing, or at least without pretending to notice, her discomfiture. "That wns 25 years ugo. I cut him off without a cent nnd today I received a letter the ilrst in all thnt time asking me to finnnce his son In some fool business project. Like as not, the boy Is Just like his father, and most probably wlll run off with a ribbon clerk or somo blonde stenographer." And with a snort, the Irate old man strode out of the office, leaving be hind him a resentful little lady. Life indeed wns becoming unbear able under him. "Mere stenographer," and with a toss of her head she turned once more to her machine, and soon the rhythmic "clickety-cllck-cllck" of the typewriter wns the only sound to . be heard. An hour later the quiet of the oillce was broken by a 'young man who stepped In nnd Inquired for "Mr. Jack .son, fllease?" He was Informed in a soft voice that the iwinnger would be back at 11:15. ' The clock hands ranched 11:45 and panned It but no Mr. Jackson. How cverx the visitor was by no means bored. lie Informed Miss Faroff "thnt Tic wns the son of her employer's nephew, and was seeking a business lonn from him. This brought on more conversation, nnd his listener was so very nttentlve thnt Mr. Jackson, Jr., did not oven notice the flight of time. He was quite surprised when she rose to go to lunch, nnd asked 11' he might ncconipany her. Anne agreed and the two went off. At I! o'clock the stenographer was once more seated at her desk, think ing things over. She admitted to her self .sho had never spent a happier hour, or over conversed with a more delightful young mnn.. Ho had left her with a promise to return the fol lowjug day. And so he did, hut strange to say, Just nfter the manager hnd left. Of course, he stayed a while to chat with Anne, and promised to come tho next dny. This went on for a week. Each dny he arrived Just after Mr. Jackson's depnrture. Finally he told Anno he had re ceived assistance from another source, nnd that ho was calling to see her and for no other reason. Following this explanation ho asked permission to tnke her to the theater thnt evening, nnd received it. The next morning Anne wns startled to hear her employer itsk: "Who wns the fine young man I saw with you Inst 'night?" and then In n sadder tone "I once hnd n nephew who looked like that. Oh, how' I worked and planned for him 1 But now " Tho voice trailed off Into silence, n silence which Anne broke by remark ing nervously: "Yes, he 1h line I Would you like me to bring him to see you?" The much flattered old mnn readily gave his cnscnt, so that very after noon Anne escorted u tnll, strapping young fellow Into the oillce. Sho led him straight to the manager nnd snld sweetly : "Mr. Jnckson, meet Mr. Jackson." For a moment there was silence, in whWi the two men scrutinized each other. The young Jnckson felt his. hand shaken In a mighty grip, and hoard a choking voice stuttorlng In mi attempt to speak. There followed a long explanation of tho Injustices done years ng6 to the father, and n proni'se to mnko ample, restitution through the son. Hut whn.li the old mnn looked up through his tears, he found his nephew, gazing not at him but deep Into the eyes of the girl bcsldo him. And as Jnckson, Sr., looked from the proud smile of tho boy to the flushed nnd happy face of Anne, ho exclaimed and admitted In his heart' that , "Running off with n stenographer Is . not the worst thing, nfter nil 1" Quieting. Youth My love for your daughter Iuiown no bounds. I cannot live with out her. Her I'npn Young mnn, you m.y dli peacefully nnd without -worry. ' promise you I'll defray all the funeral expenses.
