As he sipped the cup that cheers. but not inebriates, his hostess expanded upon the charms of Charlotte Templeton. i The ormolu elock on the lace draped mantelpiece struck 5. The secretary closed her desk. - harroway pint his cup down laugh- ingly. It was on that same day that Mrs. Van Stylert. noticing the neatness of the girl’s prim collar and cuffs. accused her of being cut out for an old maid. The secretary smiled. as cheerfully atl- mitting the impeachment. Also that afternoon Tom Harroway stOpped for “There’s another thing,” Mrs. Van Stylert continued. “You engage a per- son for an hour’s work. On the stroke of that hour the person vanishesâ€"no interest in the work. no appreciative gratitude.” The secretary’s face flushed. “Good evening!” she said, moving toward the door. That day she was specially hard with the young lady. who for nearly three months now had been coming an hour each afternoon to write little notes and cast up troublesome accounts, an office which she also undertook for several of Mrs. Van Stylert’s most intimate friends. “Tomorrow afternoon.” her employer said crisply, “at 4. sharp.” The girl left the room. “Don’t you think,” IIarroway re- marked, “you are a trifleâ€"ahâ€"severe with the lady. Mrs. Van S. ‘3” RS. VAN STYLERT heard her secretary’s foot on the stairs. “I must keep it up,” she said. “It is a duty I owe her. I went to school with her mother." “I am sick of the status of employed people,” retorted Mrs. Van Stylert. “Everything nowadays is ‘respect for labor.’ none for those who employ it. No, Miss Sefton is alone in the world. She has imbibed too many lofty no- tions. 1 am treating her as my mother might have treated a secretary. if sec- retaries had been a part of my moth- er’s miseries." IIe shrugged his shoulders. “I know.” she said. “you do not ad- mire her”â€" “Rather say.” be interposed. “I have scarcely noticed her till the last month or so." "When my ‘severity.’ as you call it. attracted your attention to her.” she responded. “And she admitted only yesterday that she had not noticed you either." lie gave her a quick look. “Uh. yes," she pursued; “I have told her that it has been a year since you left college and that now you are a full fledged idle man of fashion. She curled her lipâ€"they used to ‘curl’ their lips in the stories I read when l was youngâ€"and said the world is no place for idlers: that a man should do his best to achieve a position not already established for him by his father. Still. I like her. 1 went to school with her mother. and I feel a sort of responsi- bility for her. That is why I an) try- ing to make her realize her true posi- tion. She can’t afford to give me up.

She had nursed her mother for years. and her income died with her mother. I advised her to he- come a secretary.

She continued to fan herself after Harro’way had hetaken himself to other scenes. “No wonder 1 am hot.” she told herself. “1 am an advanced woman, too. though 1 never discovered that till recently. However. I intend to investigate the tendencies of today. to find \ it it young men and young women are the same as they used to be in spite of all their superiority to the little things of life.

Next day when the secretary came Mrs. Van Stylert was more difficult to please than ever. -“Pardon me, Amy,” she said at one moment, when she had severely con- demned the present mode of calig- raphy, which, as she insisted, was too bold and energetic for any lady to em- ploy, “it is all Tom Harroway’s fault. Charlotte Templeton is the most beau- tiful girl in town, and no end of a catch, and yet he is letting Count De- staing have the innings. I am doing what I can, though. I am interested in Tom; he is my heirâ€"his father was one of my earliest beans. Think what a match it will be! Charlotte Temple- ton has a million in her own right and Tom will not have more than two thousand a year till I die.” The secretary accepted for Mrs. Van Stylert the three efforts toward self immolation. “By the way.” said Mrs. Van Stylert. “isn't this the (lay of the Templeton rm‘option? I don't go to afternoon re- ceptions. They are so unearthly. But you do." ”After my tea." he replied. ”I don’t begrudge you the tea.” re- turned his hostess. “but I should think you would want to he with Charlotte as much as possible now that the count is so terribly in evidem'e." The secretary arranged her paperl. “Here are three invitations to dinners." she said. “Accept thdm all,” gloomlly replied her employer. “1 might as well kill myself that way as any other.” "It swing to 1110.” he returned, 0b- Iivinns to the latter part of her words, "that her costume is very well chosen fur lu-r work. What a tine face she hast" ”Sim 1001;?! like her mother.” was the reply. "1 went to school with her muther. There. now. run to the Tem- pletmm‘â€"and Charlotte.” Thus dismissed. Harroway left thei hunse. Outside. he saw the lecretary ; going down the street. 3 Now, the secretary was annoyed? Mrs. \‘an Stylert’s manner was hecom- f ing atrocious. Before these last twoi weeks the lady had been kind and; friendly. But for Mrs. \‘an Stylert’s‘ kindness and friendly interest she would not have got along so well.- But all that was changed now. And ' what had she done to merit the slights to which she had recently been sub-, jected? ‘ True. Tom Harroway had been fre- quently at the house of late, developing a craving for afternoon tea that verged closely on dissipation, and all the time he was there his hostess was full of encomiums for Charlotte Templeton and as full of miserable fault finding for the girl who acted in the capacity of secretary. Harroway saw her going along in front of him. He made up his mind that he must join her. She may have seen him, but she suddenly shot round a corner. and when he reached the cor- ner she had disappeared from view. “How unkind women can be to wo- men,” he mused. “Mrs. Van is letting herself out. Maybe, though, she has been all along like this in private, and now I go there so frequently she is getting not to mind me. And I am to blame!” And he went on to the Templeton reception. __ .a. In_he1: rosy room Mrs. Van Stylert felt more comfortable than had been the case for days. The secretary made up the ten min- utes the following day. and. although Mr. Harroway did not put in an ap- pearance. Mrs. Van Stylert was quite difficult; said that the plain manner in which the secretary wore her hair was disgraceful and felt that she could tell her so because she had gone to school with her mother; quite agreed with her secretary, who. she insisted. had so expressed herself, that Tom Harro- way .was no use in the world and that it he had a grain of manliness in his comnosition he would attempt a busi- ness (career. She said she felt she “After all,” she said vaguely. “scien- tific experiments are wonderful things.” She rested her chin on her hands and looked into the flare of the grate with a reminiscent expression in her eyes. absence because his father had been one of her earliest beans. A few days later. and when this sort of medicine had been given in heroic doses. Harroway came for his cup of tea. He was very cheerful. Mrs. Van Stylert was puzzled, but wisely waited for him to explain himself. “Weil,” he said at length, “I have two confessions to make. One at them is that I am going into business. John Templeton will have me for a partner. You know we were graduated togeth- er and have always been pals. The other confession is that his sister Char- lotte and 1”â€" “Oh,” fairly shrieked Mrs. Van Sty- lert, “so it is arranged at last! It took a long time, I must say. And now you must tell me all the particulars. Miss Uurromzy saw her going along in front of him. Softon, if you don’t mind, We will do- for our notes till tomorrow. I shall not need you today." The girl jumped 111). “Stop!" Mrs. Van Stylert called after 1101‘. “Why not come this evening? I shall not go out till 10. Come at 9.” “At 9 o’clock!" loudly repented her employer. “We can then finish today's work. .\'0 objections. if you please." The secretary tool; herself away. trembling in every limb. She had no intention of going at 9 o'clock in the evening to do the work which she had contracted to perform from 4 to 5 in! the afternoon. And to be spoken to like that before 'l‘om Harroway! As for Harrowny, he was furious. “Upon my word, Mrs. Van Stylert.” he said, “you have needlessly humili- nted a lady.” and went has‘lly from the house. “But," domurred the secretary. “I fear"â€" If he expected to see the secretary outside he was doomed to disappoint- ment. for when he reached the street she was nowhere in sight. “Amy thinks I want him to. marry Charlotte! And.” she said. “hereafter l shall sympathize with every scien- titic experiment I hear of. And human nature is the same as it ever was! llold. though! What shall I do when Amy comes tomorrow. for of course she will not come this evening? I sup- pose- I must chance it. I am growing rovkless. And Charlotte means to marry the count! Didn’t her mother hint as much last night?” Mrs. Van Stylert had her maid fetch her a cup of strong beet tea, she- felt so used up. As for the secretary. she had some- thing to think about. And in the 'arp and weft of her thought was a thread of satisfaction that a young man had seen the folly of being an idler and was :ilmiit to become a useful member of sot-ivty. It is always a satisfaction to know that our theories receive sup port. And. apropos of that young man. what sort of spirit did he think she possessed when she would put up with sm-h treatment as he had witnessed Mrs. \‘an Siyiert inflict upon her? And suppose he was flirting with Miss 'l‘empleton! She tossed her head. Next she donned a white gown full of Madness and rippling with ribbons. She looked in the glass and was not dis- satisfied with the reflection. it was then 8 o'rlock. and she sat down and waited for the lady who was to escort her to the opera. In- stead the lady had to go and tumble down the hack stairs and received such (-ontusions and abrasions as made it impossible for her to stir from the house that night. or course the secre- tary could not go alone. so she started to take 06 her finery. All at once the enormity of Mrs. Van Stylert’s treat- ment of her struck her more cruelly than ever. Should she keep on accept. lng that lady’s favors? “Not if I had a dozen mothers.” she said. “and she had been to school with every one of them i” She would inform Mrs. Van Stylert tomou row that she must decline to act as her secretary any longer. Tomorrow! [t was not yet 9 o’clock. Mrs. Van Stylert had commanded her She had promised the lady with whom she boarded to go to the opera that night. the lady having had two tivkots prosvnteti to her hy a friend who was hastily 'alled from the city and could not use them. 'l‘he thought of Harroway‘s possible flirtation with Miss Templeton made her feel that she should like to look hot- bost that evening. Her hair was her first care. and she arranged it so as to set off its abundance and color. “As though It would be in good taste to wear it this way when I am attend- ing to business!" she said loftily. light and tell her not to eXpect her next day and, just as she was. let that arrogant schoolmate or her mother Itâ€" was all very foolish, very girlish. but she did not care to be considered a dowdy any more than she would accept gratuitous contumely. segvhâ€"e; igossibllities as a ‘well dressed woman? A maidservant was coerced, and, cov- ered with a long cloak, the secretary went forth on an errand prompted by righteous indignation. At about the same time Mrs. Van Stylert was issuing from her maid’s ministrations also in opera array. She seldom courted music until late in the evening, when, as she said, she reached Wagner's agony and soon had it over. She looked up as hen secretary entered the rosy room, whme shaded candles cast a most becoming light. Perhaps she had never been so scared in all her life before. She had not expected Amy, and the brilliant-y of the girl’s eyes and the bloom on her face told her that a battle was imminent. The secretary easul the clasp of her cloak-there was a pulse in her throat that hurt her. For when she stood in the presence of her mother’s old friend who had been of such signal service to her and noted that Mrs. Van Stylert’s face now showed kindness and even admiration her courage seemed to ebb from her. Mrs. Van Stylert was the first to speak. ““I am so sorry, Amy, child,” she said, “to bring you out at night. I wasn't in earnest.” Not in earnest! At that the secre- tary’s courage flowed back again. Was she to be made sport of all around? Mrs. Van Stylert regarded her in silence, knowing not what to say, ad- miring the girl’s well arranged hair, her face that was beautiful in its ex- citement, but, more than all, her spirit and vigor. “I came,” she said, “to tell you to look out for another secretary. I am no longer in your employ.” Now, Harroway had felt uncomfort- able all the early part of the evening. By the time he had dined at the club he was quite of opinion that he should visit at Mrs. \‘an Stylert’s no more. He refused to he a further witness of the humiliation of a poor girl at the hands of the lady who presumed on the fact of his being her heir and so makingr marriage arrangements for him. Confound the money! First. he must set Mrs.. \‘an right with regard to Charlotte 'l‘empleton. She had cut him 011 when he had begun to tell her about (,‘harlotte‘s engagement to the count, taking it for granted that he himself was the happy man. A woman like that nmst not remain un- corrected in such a mistake. And it the secretary thought he was flirting-â€" He wiped the perspiration from his brow. But Why shouldn’t he go to Mrs. Van's this evening, not waiting till to- morrow afternoon? By tomorrow some one or other might be already told of his presumed engagement to Charlotte Templeton. It irr'.hted him mightily to: think of such a report be- ing attributed to him, even though the mistake might be corrected Inter on. “Another thing.” the secretary was saying. “You tell me that you have informed Mr. Harroway that I despise him for- having no desire to make his way in the world. I never said so. I told you that every man, in my opin- ion, should do his best to carve out a niche for himself in the world”â€" He went. On the threshold of the pink room he paused. Inside the two women confronted each other. Just then the speaker saw Tom Har- roway. Her hand that had clutched the cloak at her throbbing throat fal- tered, and the long loose garment slid down to the floor, and she stood re- vealed in a fleeey white gown. a fair vision of girlish charm. Harrovay took a step toward her. she looked so sweet and lovable. “I should like.” he said, “toâ€"-that isâ€" ]: Wish to correct something"â€" “Nonsense!” interrupted Mrs. Van Stylert in a loud voice. and refusing. to let the girl use her as a shield. "I know you are not engaged to Charlotte Templeton While you may not know it, 1 am a bit of a scientist. which ac- counts for my recent behavior toward you and Amyâ€" Ah. 1 must see my maid!” She fairly tattered from the mom. closing the door after her. noting as she went avay that the secretary lot Harroway take her hand, the young woman and the young man looking preposterously happy. if somewhat conscious. In her sleeping room she sank on the side of the bed as her maid fun to her. “Beef tea!” she managed to say. “I experimented scientifically to see it they couldn’t be made to fall in love with each other,” and something about going to school with somebody‘s moth- er and having somebody else‘s father for one of her earliest beans. “011. did you?” she cried blithely. “I was waiting to see when you should do so. I should never have done it myself if I waited till doomsday. after”â€" At that time in the rose colurod room Harroway talked with the secretary. “I came tonight to have it out with her," he said. “After you thought I was flirting with Charlotte Templeton?” he asked admiringly. She shrugged her shoulders. “So much of the jest is gone,” she said. “Mrs. Van has been playing with us all the time, the mean old dear." Just then the “mean old dear" rushed into the room. She had found it im- possible to keep away. “Oh,” she said, “Amy-Tomâ€"all this has been a scientific experiment. I de- signed to’bring you two together.” “And you succeeded,” responded DR.
