O'Day produced -the bag "scrap" and refueled, "Go on," of he /I'said gruffy, his voice muffled by the. huge wad in his cheek. And then, the while he punctuat- ed his sentences with deep inhala- tions of his cigarette, Rand told him about Mary Lowell "I don't know, lieutenant, whether there's any such thing as love at first sight, but I do know _she ap- pealed to me tremendously, and I've been in love with her ever since that night at the restaurant." "An' she broke off with you be- cause she saw you with this May- nard girl in your arms?" "Yes." "Your friend Olga seems to be bad luck to you, doesn't she? But you can be sure of this, Rand. If she got mad at seeing you together you can bet your bottom dollar she thinks a lot of you." "Apparently not very much, lieu- tenant," said Jimmy. "She's going to marry someone else." "Oh she is, eh? Who?" /*"A man by the name of Church." "Church, eh? What's his first name? Maybe I know him." "Sam Church? Good night! Sam Church and you after the same girl? Say, you pick pretty stiff opposition, don't you?" "Do you know him?" "Sure. Seen him im court dozens of times. Got one of the finest homes in town, an' him a bachelor. Money to burn, they say. Made most of 'it fairly recently, too. Say, he's forty-five if he's a day." "He doesn't look a day over forty." ? "Well, he's at least forty-five. He's much too old for this girl you've been" telling me about." He looked at Jimmy pityingly. "Too much money to turn down." Jimmy winced. "Don't say that. I accused her of that very thing mv- self and I've been sorry for it ever | since." O'Day patied Jimmy's knee, "I'm sorry, lad. I'm sorry, too for the girl" The other looked up, makes you say that?" "Because if there ever was a man who didn't deserve a decent woman, it's Sam Church. The thing that surprises me is that he has actually proposed marriege. It isn't like him; he usually tires of them too soon." "What "You mean there have been other women?" "I mean that his house, if it could talk, could tell many a story that would make choica readin'. There have been a dozem, more or less, breach-of-promise suits, but they never saw the light of day in court, because he's too smart a lawyer in the first place an' he never put any- thing in writin'. Oh, he knows how to squirm out of a tight place, all right." "What kind of man is he? How is he regarded?" "One of the biggest lawyers in town, although I happen to know he's not above fixin' a jury, an' he got his start in the legal profession bein' an ambulance chaser." "My God! And Mary's going to marry him!" "I'm sorry, lad. It's a _ damn shame. Why don't you tell her?" "Oh, I couldn't. You don't under- stand." "Faith, and I do understand. It's no backbiter you are, I'll tell her myself," 2 "No, you mustn't." Jimmy raised a protesting hand. "Listen -here, Rand. Did yon 'tell Miss Lowell why you were in town --why you happened to be out with the Maynard girl?" "No. "» "Why in the devil didn't you? Then I bet this wouldn't have hap- pened."

LJ * The shirt-sleeved clerk who had given Jimmy Rand his instructions the first day he had gone to work for the laundry had occasion to com- meénd him a couple of times the next morning and afternoon for his speed and for the new business he was bringing in. "Keep it up, stuff." ¢At the end of the day he was told that Mr. Porter, the man who had hired him, wanted to see him. He went right in, thinking some more praise was in store for him-----per- haps éven a raise. But to his amazement he was told that he was being let out. Porter raised his head for a brief instant from his desk 'when Jimmy entered. "I'm sorry, Rand, but I'm discharging you." He pretended to be buyinz himself with. some- pa- pers. "You're what?"

Porter was still studying: the papers before him. "I, ah, that is, we have to cut expenses a little to keep within the bugget, and so I'm having to lay some of the men off." "But why me? The shipping clerk said I was already the bast driver he had." , ; "Well, you were the last one hired, you know." He muttered something about "obligations to the older employees" . "Your chief concern when you hired me," sald Jimmy hitterly, "was whether I would stay after I had learned the job. You seemed to think I'd run away as soon as an- other job offered itself." "Sure." Porter seized on the sug- gestion. "That's another reason why you happen to be the first to go. Why should we strain a point to keep you here when you're only anchoring here for a while so you ean keep your eye open for some- thing better?"

"Rand," said the ' other, finally looking up and meeting his eye, "you're just wasting your time here. A man with your education has no business to be driving a truck. You ought to get some place where there's more opportunity." "I'm waiting," sald Jimmy, "to hear the real redson why I'm being fired." "You've heard it. That's all." Por- ter rose as if he would put an end to the interview. But Jimmy stopped him with 4a hand on-his arm. "Do you know what .I think, Mr. Porter?" "No. What do you think?" "l think you are a liar." He had raised his voice, and Miss Caton, at ike other side of the room, stopped chewing her gum and listened at- tentively. Porter's face went white and his hands gripped the edge of his desk. "You're talking pretty carelessly, Rand." "I'm speaking very carefully, Por- ter. Listen to me while I say it again. You're a liar."
