The young woman stopped, folded
her hands and bestowed on Mr. Ver-Tiori-a
withering glanea ffow a- pair
of sapphire blue eyes.
"Can't you see I'm busy?" she de
manded ominously. "You've been here
once before today. What do you
want?"
"To talk with you," replied Mr.
Vernon, impertui bably.
"One would think I was here for the
sole purpose of entertaining people,"
Miss Richards replied sarcastically.
"I've had to settle two extremely Im
pertinent already this morning. I beg
of you not to make the third."
"What did they say to you?" in
quired her visitor, in a tone which
boded no good for thtm were they In

for a drive."
"I really this play will net you at
least twenty," interrupted Mr. Vernon
In a blended tone of meekness and
mischief, taking a roll o manuscript
from his pocket, "and, according to
your statement Bess, I'm liable to
bore you for twenty hours. Still, if.
you prefer the drive or"
"I,et me see it!" cried Elizabeth
eagerly. "Oh, Dave, Is it your new
play?"
"Yes," replied Mr Vernon, handing
her the" manuscript, "but 1 really wish,
my dear girl, you would be more re
spectful when you address me. My
name is David, and, in a public place
like this" with a comprehensive
glance around the rornm. which con
tained only himself and Miss Rich
ards "I really think it would be more
dignified for you to say Mr. Vernon."
"Oh. brother!" retorted Elizabeth,
making a naughty face. After which
expressive remark she plunged Into the
manuscript and became utterly obliv
ious to Mr. Vernon's presence.
They had met two years before at
Cornell. It was Elizabeth's llrst year
and David's lust. He had a sister,
who was in her class, a:id the two
girls became very intimate. Naturally
the brother came in for his shur of
attention, and, as naturally, he fell a
victim to the charms of his sister's
friend.
Before the close of the year Elizabeth
had to resign all thoughts of a college
education. The death of her father
and the condition of affairs made it
necessary for her to assume the sup
port of her mother and little brother.
,he bad made herself proficient in
stencgraphy before entering Cornell.
:'.nd, for a time, had acted as her
father's secretary. On her return
home she devoted six week to "getting
up her speed," and then opened on of
fice In a newspaper building on F
street.
David Vernon loomed once more in
her horizon, about a year after sin'
had begun her stenographic career.
Ills uncle was a well-known Washing
ton lawyer, and he offered to take
David into the firm as Junior partner.
Ths young man would have preferred
a literary career, but the opening wis
such a good one that he accepted it.
It also had the advantage of bringing
him nearer to Elizabeth. He devoted
his evenings to the stuoy of literature,
however, and already had fame as the
author of several little comedies.
When he learned what Kllzubetn was
doing, and how hard nhe. hud lo work,
David, with fine prospects but a snuill
salary, asked her to marry him, and
Elizabeth laughed.
"I'd spoil your career, Dave," she
said, "and if thai Is not a good rea
son" with a glance of amusement "I
have a belter."
"What Is il?" demanded Mr. Vernon.
"I don't love you," she returned.
"Pesldes you are only twenty-seven,
David, and you don't want to burden
yourself with a wife for at least eight
years. I'll be too oh?, then thirty
and you'll prefer some young girl." ,
"I'll do no such thing," Interrupted
David eagerly. "I've loved you for two
years, and I'm going to marry you if
I have to wait until you're forty! There
Isn't a reason on earth why you can't
love me," he added with a (ouch of
Indignation; "I'm good looking,
clever"
"Oh, David!"
"Well, you're not going to deny II,
are you?" demanded he wrathfully.
"I'll tell you what, Bess, In five years
I shall be rich. Then, how nice for
you to be Mrs. Vernon."
"What a mercenary wretch you must
think me!" said Elisabeth with a
gleam of mischief In her eyes. "Be
lieving me to be adamant whore your
good look and cleverness are concern
ed, you tempt me with riches. For
harms, elr, for shame!"
But the office door slammed behind
promptly, and then added mischiev
ously, "that is, unless you want an
extra copy for yourself. Maybe when
I'm dead and gone, Elizabeth, it will
comfort you to pore over these ev
idences of genius your criticism has
fostered."
"More like you will lose your copies
and want to borrow mine," said Eliz
abeth in the tone of one having ex
perience. Mr. Vernon regarded her
mournfully. "There isn't an ounce of
sentiment In you," he remained.
"Thank heaven, there Isn't." replied
Miss Richards fervently. "You may
not realize it, bu,t sentiment is a dan
gerous trait for a woman In my posi
tion. Now," she added teasingly, as
she saw' the look of disgust creeping
over David's smooth-shaven face, "now
if I'd been sentimental, Dave, I would
doubtless have been married and di
vorced several times in the last two
years."
"I wish to goodness you'd quit this
place," growled David, gazing at her
anxiously. "You grow more cynical
and flippant every day."
"Who'd decypher your miserable
chirography if I did?" demanded she
archly.
"We could have a machine at home,"
he suggested eagerly.
Miss Richards laughed. "What a
tempting prospect!" she cried gaily.
"All your other suggestions have failed
to appeal to me, but this one is so
brilliant, Dave, I shall really have to
consider it."
Once again the door banged violently
and the small mistress of the estab
lishment found herself alone. "Never
mind, he will be up to the house to
night," she thought philosophically as
she went back to her machine.
The day following the stnogruphio
office of Miss Richards was a very
busy place. Work had come In, as
was often the case, with a rush, and
Elizabeth had to engage another sten
ographer to assist her. Toward the
close of the day, however, she found
time to begin David's play. As she
proceeded with it her - Interest-grew
apace, "it is his best effort," she kept
repeating to herself exultantly, while
her fingers flew swiftly over the keys,
"and it must succed!"
She had just finished the first act
when her eyes fell on a tiny sheet of
notepaper which had doubtless slipped
between the leaves of the manuscript
by accident, and the following In. a
dainty hand greeted her:
"My Dearest Boy I am sorry not to
have seen you Friday night and so
glad that you have gotten over being
cross with me. Do come Sunday, and
we'll bury the hatchet for good. It was
all a mistake, dear, but you must ad
mil I had cause to act as T did you
were seen with her so much."
RUTH.
Elizabeth put her hand to he head in
a dazed fashion. So Dave was like all
the rest. Dave, whom she had believed
to be all her own! And another girl
was complaining of his attentions to
her Elizabeth! Well, the other girl
would have no further occasion to
complain as far as she was concerned'.
When Mr. Vernon called the next
day, Miss Richards was taking a
speech for Senator Smith. The learned
legislator was tvxmplng up and down
t lie little ollice, talking, it seemed to
David, at the rale of three hundred
words a minute, and gesticulating
fiercely. Elizabeth looked up from her
notebook and pointed a roll of p ipers
ou her dcuk. David helped himself
mill went out. That night when he
called nt Ihti house of Mrs. Richards
informed him jlhaf Bess had a head
ache and ttskfd to be excused, I!c
thought nothing of this, but when two
or three days had gone by and In
failed to get speech with hor David
licgi'n to feel both Indignant and wor
ried. .
"Either BcMS is Wirl:'g herself io
death or she's out with me about
something," he thouulit, as he straight
ened his cravat, preparuloiy to mak
ing another call on the obdurate
danivel.
H was a little early for his visit, so
David deckled 10 glance over the man
uscript he had obtained from Eliza
beth. There was an Interroga tion
Hint on the sixth page of her copy.
As this was her method of calling at
tention to something I hut was not
dear in his language or chirography.
he began turning over the original to
(hul the page and make comparison.
In doing this he came across the little
scented sheet of gray nolepaper and
gave vent to a low whistle as he read
it.
"This accounts for Bess's behuvlor,"
he said aloud, "but who In the name of
all that myrteiioiis is Ruth, and hnvv
come that letter in my manuscript?"
A moment later there was a knoi
at the door and Charlie Thurston rami
In. Mr. Thurston was dramatic ed
itor for one of the dally papers and
boarded In Ihe same house wllh David.
"I want that play of yours, Dave,"
he said hastily. "Ooodwln has prom
ised lo look It over tonight. If he takes
It, your fortum? Is made."
"Let us hope he will take It, then.
Held Dave, handing him the Manu
script. As ho dll o, the 11 lilt- sheet
of gray pott-paper fluttered tj loe

Charlie picked it up. "Where o

manded in astonishment.
"I've been asking myself the earn
question for the last ten minutes."
replied Dave, laughing. "Some puriKW
or perron unknown put It between ilk
leaves of my play."
The puzzled look on Charlie Thurs

'Miss Gilmore?" asked Dave in .

You always were a lucky fellow."
A half hour later David was stand
ing on Mrs. Richards' steps. The doar
was unlocked and he went In. He
feared Bess might send word ehe waa
not at home if he rang the bell.
'They are awfully careless about tle
door," he said under hi breath a bfc
pushed the pai lor portlers aside. Tb
room was dark and deserted and the
housebreaker proceeded on his way i ,
the library. In the soft light of the
red lamp he saw a little figure curloU
up on the lounge by the window.
'You didn't stay very long, mother.'"
said a familiar voice.
'No, I thought you'd be lonesome
responded Mr. Vernon promptly.
Elizabeth sprang to her feet. "Ot,
it Is ycu, David?" she said ungra
ciously.
'Yes, it is me," returned Mr. Verno
forcibly il ungrammatically. 'I can'ft
say, Bess, that you seemed overjeye
because of my arrival."
'I don't like people creeping Ur on tae

crossly.

"I am sure I hope you will be suc

David eyed her mischieviously. "T4jr
the way, Bess, dkl you ever meet Ruffa
Gilmore?" he Inquired, innocently.
The color flamed into her face. "Hk.
why did you ask?"
"Nothing, only she's just promise
to marry Charlie, and I wondered Jf
you knew her."
A long silence followed this interest
ing news item. Then Dave left tn
chair and seated himseif on the sofjt.
"Say you're ashamed of yourseST,
Bess," he whispered, as he slipped Ijif
arm around her waist.
"I am dreadfully ashamed," she ans
wered softly. And Dave looking twa
in th'Acyes saw something that he baA
never seen there before.
"But this doesn't mean that I ai.ui
'pring to marry yodNaow," said EEes
beth a few moments later. "You mkr.
remember that I have responsibilities,
David, and you may have to wait Ur
me as long as Jacob did for Rachel.'"
"I'll do no such thing," replied Jfcc,
Vernon with emphasis. . "I'll give -it
just six months to settle your impor
tant buyiness matters, so you had .pes
ter g-et accustomed to the idea."
Elizabeth shook her head. "We'll
decide that later," she said smiling,
and Dave, who loved her proud, inde
pendent ways, wisely forbore and iaj
ther discussion of the subject 4hit
evening.
"I reckon I've proposed to yau
nty times seven,"he remarked later
he was bidding her good-night, 1W
you haven't told me yet, Bess, -what
iiultised you to even agree to arcejat
me in the far off future."
Elizabeth laughed mischievously,
"It was your suggestion that I wuu'iC
continue to pound my typewriter at
Mrs. Vernon," she replied, saucily..
Really, Dave, dear, no feiii in the pro
fesston could withstand an offer f
tempting as that."
This time David didn't slam
door; he kissed Elzab'-th instead.
