THE EVENING STORY Anne Gets a Jolt. NNE SCOTT was working at her “yellow sheets” that morning when she happened to glance up and find the eyes of Miss ‘Waterman, her superior in_the stockroom, fixed upon her. Miss Wa- terman had bright black eyes, and at that instant they held something that was 80 much more noticeable than brightness or blackness that Anne was startled. The thought, “Bunny hates me.” Bunny was the name that Miss ‘Waterman went by in the big factory; there was no reason for it other than that Lucja Hooper had once given Anne: “She nibbles—when you arent Jooking."” had caught Miss Waterman nibbling now—nibbling Anne herself. Anne’s glance escaped instantly and returned to her work. That morning the superintendent had sent in a com- mand for 200 dozen to fill the big or- der. The work was going on with a rush, and Anne was checking up as fast ‘as she could with care. A single mistake might entail lots of trouble, even the loss of her job. And she wanted so much to keep her job. The money she earned was more necessary now than ever since her mother had had that illness. But that look of Bunny's—that nib- bling look! “She hates me,” thought Anne again. “But_why?” At that instant Roland Wight came into the room. Anne kept her eyes down and pretended not to see him. Yet somehow she knew that he was there, knew, too that he was looking at her, knew that Miss Waterman was looking at him with that curious bright, blackness of her eyes. She could see just how he paused, irreso- lute, then turned toward Miss Water- man. She could hear them talking in low_tones. “Nine and 17 are 26, Anne said to her pencil and bent her head lower. But she could not help hearing the tones of the two in the room behind her. All the racket of the factory couldn’t drown them. “They're quarreling,” she thought. “Eight and 19 are—" Miss Waterman was angry, Roland |in. gently pacific. But at last he went out Tather suddenly. Anne could hear Miss- Waterman come close behind her, breathing hard. She felt uncomfort- able, as if she were about to be struck, but she kept on figuring. f you make a single mistake,” said You never tasted fresh Do so! . A startling statement but true—unless you have had coffee fresh from the roasting ovens—or else kept oven -fresh in vacuum — the only way known to preserve all the oven-fresh strength—flavor — aroma.

It came to Anne that she | Miss Waterman, tersely, “I'll—I'll see that you're discharged. Anne lifted her head. Her gray, still | eyes met the bright black ones. She | smiled. | “Oh, I shan't make a mistake," she | | replied. “You know, that's the one | | thing I'm really sure of—the multipli- | cation table.” Miss Waterman jerked. But she went ! away silent. As her solid, blocky fig- ure receded Anne looked after her con- tritely. “Oh, what made me say that?” she sighed to herself. For Miss Waterman was stupid at figures and only held her job by sheer force of will power and | experience. Anne had pricked her with | a particularly sharp little pin, and fear of the effect she might produce troubled | her. | The other person in the stockroom | had, in_her usual way, kept out of all | this. Mrs. Keene was middle-aged with | a son in college, a fine youngster, a year or so older than Anne. Indeed, | Anne thought him one of the nicest, if | | not quite the nicest, young fellow that | she had ever met. And his mother was good to her. Mrs. Keene was one of | those calm, sensible little women who | g0 _about lighting the way for the ig- | | norant and inexperienced. Anne looked at her wistfully, and as soon as Miss | Waterman was out of the room for an instant she ran across to where Mrs. Keene was at work. “I've done something to offend Bun | —Miss Waterman,” Anne whispered. “I can't think what it is. I wish I could. | Haven't you an idea?” | Mrs. Keene turned and looked into | Anne's honest, questioning eyes. She | looked deep. ~ But still she did not speak. Do you suppose she isn't having good luck with her love affair with Roland | Wight?” asked Anne. “Still, T don't ‘.:Sce what I've got to do with it if she pilE Mrs. Keene smiled and tucked back a loose strand of Anne’s hair. “You haven't anything to do with it, I can see that,” she replied. ‘Then she returned abruptly to her work as Miss Waterman came trotting Anne puzzled about the matter till business drove it out of her head. It was business first every time with Anne. At noon as she came out of the door Roland Wight stepped up to her. “Come on, Anne, have lunch with me coffee |after lunch she was 10 minutes late |“I've passed over your blunders as long Wouldn’t you like a beautiful colored glass —with two packages of a remarkable cake flour?
