So easily did she slip ito into the routine of the office, that within: a short time everybody there forgot that she had ever been why, She was no longer day wonder, She wasn't front-page stuff any more. She became again the quiet, effici- ent business woman, intent on make ing a place for herself in a big core potation, She was completely ab- sorbed in her work, "The 'only change was that, as Mr, Deckier's personal secretary, she had a stenographer of her own. She had a boy to do errands for the office. She planned Mr. Decker's busy days, It was sheswho made his business a ntments, who telephoned both fis business acquaintances and his friends. She met his bankers, his stock brokers, and the art dealers who hoped to interest him in treas- uges brought from the ends of the earth for his galleries. In two years she ad met every industrial Titan of merica and Europe, For, some time or other, they all came to see. William A. Decker, "His office is like 42nd and Broad. way, just wait here long enough and everybody that's . important in the world will come along some time!" Jean was fond of saying. There seemed no limit to Decker's ambition and his vitality, He was enthralled in the Ianipulation of a fortune that was alrea % one of the largest vin the world,, He expanded until his interests were beyond con ception. His wealth could not be reckoned, although many were fond of speculating on its size, gean thought he was working too hard, but he always laughed at her when she said so. Jean still lived with Mrs, Casey, She remained there over Grace's protests and Dr. Dowling's diabprovs, ule though her salary had been raised four times in the two years, "I like the view," she would insist when Grace started to argue, "And I'm there do little it doesn't matter what my room is like. I'd rather put money in the bank, anyway," : As a concession to Dr. Dowling, who was now in private practice, and to Grace, who was still her closest friend, Jedn refurnished her little room. and Jean had a lot of fun making the lall bed into a charming sitting room, re, Casey sve them permission to do what "I keeping a they liked, They painted thie wood- work ed a' until it was a soft ivory, Then Mrs: Casey had a papers banger put on a quaint Colonial pat- terned | i for which the girls had shopped or days. They hung cure tains of ruffled dotted swiss, and Jean bought a Winthrop desk of ma- hogany, and an ol highboy to take the place of the old oak dresser. The iron bed was relegated to another room by Mrs, Casey and in its place was a. comfortable cot covered with a velvet throw and cushions, Jean added a tilt<fop table, a Boston rocker, a chintz-covered wing chaly, and the result was as charming a site ting room as could be found in a day's travel. When hooked rugs were Jiaced on the floor and bookcases built' along one wall, the result was o pleasant place in which to rest, 'Us better off here," she. always insisted to Gerace, "Some day, when 1 have more money,*you and 1 will haye a nice apartment together with # good maid, But I can't be bothered lace elesn or even think ing about it. I must be free for my work." : Grace realized how important this was for fests happiness and health, The gir! frequently worked until mid- night at the office, When a big pro ject was under wy the conferences continued for hours, Decker would trust nobody but Jean to hear all that was said, and she had to tran scribe the precious records and keep them ander dock and key. Je II watched Jimmie's career, his meteorlike flights about the country his - interest in aviation stocks, with an interest she tried to deny to herself ~ He remained the only man in the world and she was thrilled at his success; She had not seen him in more than three years, but she searched the papers dally for photographs of him, One noon after Decker had gone out to lunch Jean laid down a news- paper, in which she had been reading of Jimmie, and looked up to see a distinguished, handsomely dressed man standing before her. He was looking at her speculatively, "I'm oe Drefus, Mr. Decker's phy- sician," he explained gt Jean's pleas- ant inquiring look, "Come out to lunch with me, I want to talk to you," Leaving lier assistant in charge, Jean went along with the man who had played such an important part in her existence without her knowl. edge: Dreffis seemed 'to find some amusement in that fact, for he kept smiling to himself. When they were comfortably seated in a tearoom in the Decker building he said bluntly: "How fond are you of Decker" Jean looked surprised, but she an. swered promptly: "He is the best friend 1 have in the world, and a marvelous person, besides." Drefus smiled. It was a smile of satisfaction, "Miss Brandes, you've got to help me, Decker is not well. He may crash any day unless some plan is arranged by which he can be made to relax, take medicine regularly, let up a little on his worl, I've talked to him until I'm hoarse. I'm appeals ing to you as a last resort, Would you risk making him very angry?" Jean nodded, "I'd do anything for his good, He would for mine!" she insisted, $0 the two sat and planned. Some times they laughed, and sometimes Jean looked worried, Then Drefus left her there and with a short and very continental how over her hand, went away, ke Oned back in the office Jean was rather frightened at what she had promised, She looked in the appoint« ment book and found Mr. Decker's afternoon was completely filled. She must find ten minutes somewhere for rest--=that she was determined on. Decker came in with a Wall Street "ow [alg { She put'a A Thrilling Romance of Adventure in the Clouds gold mine to my brothers and sis-® banker wh his alorney closeted Avith them. unt! Long before thiy left the general sales manager of the Frontenac: Motor Company was waiting with two German gentlemen who wanted to sell to the Frontenac the. rights to a new automebile paint, One man from the income tax office and sev~ eral others were patiently in line for a moment of the famous Deckers valueble time, rated by some mathe~ matlciun at $50,000 a\ minute, "I'll 'sec the 'paint' people now," Decker told her with a note of impa- tience in his voice, . ; Decker hated bei 4 disturbed when he was in the middle of a confdr- ence, That was one hing whiz , with noverlailing regularity, wade him Tose fis temper, Well Teun knéw the enormity of what she planned, but she did not falter, She waited until the conference on the new paint process was at its height, Then boldly she opened the door fo the sanctum and walked in without preliminary, She carried a glass of warm milk on a small tray, antl 'she had slipped the powders Drefus had given her into the glass before she' started, She smiled down at Decker as she set the glass at his elbow, He glared back at her, groping for the chain of thought, confused by her sudden and unparalled interruption. Jean stood her ground. : A "Doctor's orders," she said quietly, "Drink it" py Then she stood breathlessly watch. ing Mechanically the man obeyed and returned to the argument, sip- ping the milk as he roared back a refusal of the price the Germans were asking for their patent, Jean slipped away quietly, but she knew that the battle was only be. ginning. He had taken the miedis cine, but what about . tomorrows= what would he say th her when he got the chance? Decker's opportunity to call Jean to account for her conduct came within the hour, He rang for her and stood up when she came in, "What do you mean by coming In here with a glass of milk when I'm in conference?" he roared and hit the desk with his closed fist, Never before had Jean seen him so angry, She was terrified, but she was deters mined not to show it. "Mr. Decker, stop it!" Jean said in a low clear voice, You ar¢ wasting energy over nothing, You'll take the milk { too! here!" Decker stopped abruptly and looked at his secretary in amazements He was not sure he had heard aright. "What do you mean?" he roared. "Isn't it enough for you to get me into a rage without talking about Quitting} Jean smiled inwardly, de looked so much like a spoiled child not just sure of how to pro. ceed to get his own way, "Mr, Decker, you're not well, and ou know it. You're going to do as say about this medicine, that or you're going to give up busie ness entirely for the rest of the wine ter and go down south without even 80 much as a stock-market quotation to amuse you, It's for you to de cide!" And. Jean turned on her heel and started across the room to the door, "This is Drefus' work! The fool!" Decker stormed, "I won't be inter- fered with!" Jean continued her march to the door without a backward glance, She was trembling at 'her gudacity, but determined not to give in an inch. She had almost closed the door be- hind her when Decket's querulous voice called to her, "Jean, I'm sorry!" he said, "but everything seems to bother me sq. 1 can't stand everybody being at me all the time!" Jean stood with her back/to the door and looked at this man 'before her with affection and unders anding. "I wén't bother you much," she said softly, hy let me worry for you," Suddenly Decker dropped into his chair and covered his strained face with his hands, ean watched him with mingled pity and alarm. His shoulders were shaking from the silent sobs that racked his frame; this man who was one. of the wealthiest in the world. | She stood quiet, not! knowing what to do, whether to leave and pretend she had not seen him break down in this fashion, of to try and comfort him. She notlced his hair, 'which had grayed over the temples lately. | He looked thin and cold, Suddenly the girl slipped across the roomx In an instant she was bes side him, her arm about bis shaking shoulders, whisperin comforting | words into his' ear, He clung toher desperately.

"Pye never dared to marry," he went on, "I've never met a woman, except you, Jean, who didn't have designs on me == for my money: Same with my men friends; vo mat. ter how much they've got of their own, thete's never enough, Nobody ever has enough!" ' Jean held fast to his hand and thought hard before she spoke. Then she laughed gayly "Now if this lane proof thet you're not yourself!" She spoke Ty. "It proves everything I ssid, You're going to get Jou hot milk and your medicine, and you're going to rest fifteen ninute, gvery morning and every afternoon, This is all silly: You have hundreds of friends.

"Go to sleep now," she ordered. "I'l guard the telephone, and fight off the ladies, You're dining out to. night!" she questioned. Decker nod- ded his head wearily, "The Rockefords, I believe," he said. Jean went out and closed the door. Five minutes later, when she looked in, he was asleep. While Decker slept Jean telephoned his house and told his valet he'd be late and to have something ready for him at 7.30. She sent a_messen- ger downstairs to his chauffeur and verified the time of his dinner party. When she finally had to awaken Decker she had ready another glass of hot milk from the tea room down. stairs, and meekly he drank it, "I'l drop you off at your house," Decker insisted, when Jean had found his coat, hat and stick for him, She protested, "I insist. Ilere it is 7 o'clock. You should be home yourself!" Jean did not tell him she had to snatch sup- per at some restaurant, She decided she could persuade Mrs, Casey to ive her a sandwich, and put on her at and fur-lined coat he had bought for her two years before, Thus it was that Jean, for the third time, rode in the limousine of f.
