'5VV7y-REMEMBER, IT'S YrM1H L EAHV BIRO ( 1 U1 He Made Love to His Stenographer By FRANK H. WILLIAMS S, 1(32, by McClura Niwupapcr Syndloa.t. Clem Stogdlll looked up from his desk and glanced through the glass partition which separated him from tho main ofllce of the Acme Manufac turing company. Ills glance took In the big workroom where over a hun dred girls were busily engaged in typ ing and In working at card records. But Clem saw the girls only as a mass, and not as Individuals, for he wob looking for a particular girl, Allco Blake, his stenographer. Alice was not at her desk, a short distance from the partition where Clem could soo her easily, and Clem missed her. lie wondered if she was taking dictation from Oliver J. Evans, the bOBB of Clem's department, und the only man, outsldo of Clem, who made use of her services as a stenographer. At the thought that Alice might be in Oliver's private ofllce, which was en tirely Bcrecncd by wooden partitions from the view of the workroom, Clem becamo restless. As the minutes wore on and Allco did not return to Iter desk Clem's restlessness turned iuto Jealousy. What If Evans was making love to Alice! This last thought was too much for Glcm. He rose and began pacing nerv ously back and forth In his tiny ofllce. He noticed some of tho girls In the workroom glance up and covertly Bmllo nt him. He knew they had his ncrv ouseness properly dlugnosed as Jeal ousy, but Clem didn't cure. Ho wus deeply In lovo with Allco. And ho thor oughly hated the Idea of Alice inking dictation from anyone hut himself. For somo minutes Clem paced up and down. Then his will asserted Itself and he reseated himself at his desk. . '"I've got to cut this out," ho told himself. "I'll havo tho wholo ofllce wlso to mo If I don't. And I can't do any work when I'm like this, I better get a grip on myself, once and for all." Following this little conversation with himself Clem applied himself as siduously to the work oh his desk. For fifteen minutes he didn't look up onco. And then, when he did finally look through tho glass partition Into the workroom aguln, his putlcnco was re warded. Allco was hack at her desk. With something llko a sigh of relief Clem gazed at her for a moment or so. How pretty she was. Her black hnlr shone in tho sunlight as she bent over her typewriter. Tho roses In her cheeks and they were natural, too tantalized lilmi. lie felt like rushing through tho door out Into the work room, and clasping her In his arms right before the wholo crowd. But Clem contented htmself with pushing the little buzzer that called her to his ofllce. He pretended to be very busy as Allco entered the room. Then ho looked up at her with a stern, busi nesslike expression on his face. "Tula1 this dictation, please," ho said, trying desperately to make his voice solemn but falling entirely to do so. Clem was looking straight at Allco as he suld this, and he noted tho laugh ter In her eyes and tho smllo that camo to her fuce at his words. "More dictation?" queried Alice. "That's seven times toduyt" "I don't caro If It's soveuty-seven times," declared Clem. "It makes mo raving mad every time you go into Evans' ofllce. Did he try to make love to you again?" "Yes," sold Alice. "That Beems to be quite a hublt with the men I tako dictation from." "But I'm different," said Clem. "Not so awfully different," said Alice. "You started making love to me the day I started working hero. Mr. Evans waited only a week longor thnh that." "I wish you'd, slnp his fuco tho next time ho tries to get mushy with you," exclaimed Clem. "And lose my Job?" cried Allco. "That would be a lino mess, wouldn't it? Besides, ho Isn't mushy ho just talks about my eyes and hair and cheeks und tries to hold my hands onco In a while." Clem clenched IiIb hands angrily at . this. Then ho leaned over and caught Alice's hands In his. "When he docs that," Bald Olem, "you you scream for help or or got up and beat It; or or something like that." Allco laughed a bit at this. "You'ro so practical l" Bho exclaimed, and squeezed Clem's handB. Then she leanou a bit closer as though she was golnz to kiss him. But at this Moment a shadow gloomed OTcr thorn. Olem glanced up, O. J. Evans, his boss, was standing In the doorway. 01cm Bnatchiyl hlw hands uvvuy fronTAllce nt once. Making rove to the stenographers during ofllco hours wns strictly prohibited in tho rules and regulations of the Acme Manufacturing company. For u moment or bo Evans stood In the doorway glowering at Clem. Then Evans motioned to Alice to depart. She did so with a sly, roguish glance at Clem. Evans sented himself heavily In the chair Alice had vacated. "Mr. Stogdlll," said Evans solemnly. (Ho wns a large, solemn man, and dignity robed him like a cloak.) "Mr. Stogdlll, I havo felt for some time that I should Bpeak to you upon an Impor tant matter. You must not make lovo to Miss Blake during ofllce hours. Any further Infractions of this rule will re sult In your Instant dismissal." He arose slowly, "Do you understand?" "Yes," sold Clem meekly. But though Clem was week enough in nppcaranco he was a raging vol-1 enno of fire Inside. The old hypocrite I It was all right for him to make love to Allco In the seclusion of Ids private ofllce, but it was all wrong for Clem to do sol What an unfair advantage for a boss to take of an employee. He wouldn't stnnd for It. He'd But what could Clem do? Jobs weren't hanging on trees and ho need ed tho money. Clem looked through the partition at Alice hungrily. Slowly an Idea took form In his brain. It was a bold thought. Ho wondered If Allco would do It. Not many girls would, but Alice cared for him a lot and this thing of Evans making lovo to her was get ting on his nerves. Of course It was a lot to, ask of any girl, but There was suppressed eagerness In Clem's manner as he left the ofllco that afternoon, and upon meeting Alice out side began talking to her earnestly. The next morning when Clem and Allco camo to work Clem waved to her furtively through tho glass partition as they started In on tho day's routine. Then when sho came into his ofllco to tako dictation he pressed her hand covertly "It's, all right," ho said. ,"I " Again an ominous shadow fell across them.' Clem looked up to see Evans onco more standing In tho ddorway. But this tlmo Evans' solemnity was replaced by a flery vlsnge and nngry words. "This will bo about enough I" cried Evans, furiously. "I've thought for some time, there was something be tween you two. There must bo some logical explanation for Miss Blako' repeated refusals of my advances. You both know the rules of this company. So I must" "You'ro Just a little Into," Inter posed Clem, blandly. "We both re sign 1" "Whntl" cried Evans. It was un thinkable that any employees of tho Acme Manufacturing company should show such Independence. "You heard me," Clem said. "I have secured n flno position with tho Supe rior Manufacturing company at consid erably more than I could hopo to ever get here, Miss Blake Is willing to lenvo here. They want mo right away, so I guess I'll go now!" "No, you don't," sputtered Evnns. "Tho Superior company Is particular about the manners of Its employees, too. .I'll tell them about you, and" "No need," said Clem. "I've already told them about myself and Miss Blake too. You see we were familiar with the rules of tills company about two people from the same family not being cm ployed hero ut the same time. Wo thought It wns u fool rule, that last ono about two members of tho family not being employed here nt the same time, so Well, wo got tired of work ing for a company whero one of its oxecutlvcs meaning you violated tho company's own ruW about making love to stenographers. So wo decided to get out whether I got a Job or not. I landed this new Job this morning, fortunately." "But aren't you going to bo mar ried?" "Of courso not," exclaimed Olem. "I'vo Just told you we knew about your rules agalust employing both man and wife, and we needed what wo both could earn, so Alice went as Miss Blake and" "You don't mean you're married?" gusped Evans. "Surol" said Clem. "We were mar ried n year before we over saw this dump. Goodby I" And Mr. and Mrs, Clem Stogdlll walked out of tho Acme Manufacturing company's ofllce for good. :o: NOTICE OF PETITION Estato No. -1875 ot William Gravos, do coasod In tho County Court of Lin coln County, Nobraska.
