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.
