In 1917 COL. H. M. FRIDLEY. he was commissioned an officer in the Regular Army and served as major in the Quartermaster Corps at Tours and Bordeaux, France. After the war he was sent to many parts of the coun- try, reached the grade of lieutenant colonel in the Reserve Corps and served on several tours of active duty in the latter grade. Since 1926 he had been chief clerk of the Army Finance Department at Fort Hayes, Columbus, Ohio. He came back here a short while ago to enter the hospital. Col.

Or work on the presses, like Black. “But Mr. Black!” The girl's mouth had popped open. “This is Mr. Hart- ley, the man who wanted to order 2,000 gross of bot= tle labels—" “That will be all, Miss Lake.” Black's chin emerged from the folds of flesh and his eyes snapped. “We won't do business with Hartley.” He pointed to the note Hartley had sent in. “See? He fishhooks his ‘¢'s’—" pointing to an elaborate penciled swirl. “People who use fish- hooks for crossing their ‘t's’ aren’t trustworthy. Ask any graphologist.” Helen Lake knew that that settled Mr. Hartley. She'd have to endure his shocked fury, but that was noth- ing unusual. Since Mr. Black had bought the book on interpreting hand- writing, his lithographing business in Maryland had gone to seed. Old cus- tomers refused to trade with Black any more—he’d insulted so many of them by finding traces of la- tent insanity or criminal traits in their innocently scribbled mes- sages. “Hunt, you should curb your an- ger; those long loops on your ‘g’s’ show me——" And Mr. Hunt's $5,000 business went in high dudgeon to a competitor. Or “Major, why don't you go in for social service? You're too moody— see these lines cramped together—" A splutter, as speechless Maj. Moody took his brewery business else- where, * ok ¥ X HARTLEY had long since " gone, shaking his head in amazement that any one should refuse business in these times; and Helen Lake’s thoughts were occupied with other things—a home, babies, perhaps a family car . . . If Paul could only find a job! It wasn't his fault that building had fallen off, so that even first-rate architects were running errands and appearing on amateur programs. No, it wasn't his fault. Sure, he'd find something soon and the path of true love never ran smooth. But Helen was growing tired of wamng_ and sometimes guiltily suspicious that | Paul was too particular. He said he’'d take anything. Would he wash the shirtless crew downstairs? Helen sat up so sharply that the office cat leaped from the radiator and into a waste basket. But she didn’t hear his petulant scolding and the paper fluttered about unheeded. She had an idea! She'd buy a book on handwriting, practice the style of the best writing there and send Ferris Black an application for a job—signed by Paul Weston. That night she and Paul prac- ticed for hours on a specimen print- | ed in Helen's newly purchased copy of “Your Fortune in Your Fingers.” The specimen was labeled: “Unusual CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

Proudly next morning she took Paul's application for a job into Black's office. It lay untouched for several minutes while he signed let= ters, then his eye fell on it—wavered away and re- turned. He mut- tered in surprise. “Most remarkable!” With one hand he was holding the letter closer to his pince-nez; with the other he was fumbling for the book on handwriting. He opened the book and compared the writing with the specimen Paul had copies the night before. Ferris Black was chuckling with delight and Helen, standing above him, was soaring on wings of happy anticipation. Paul would get the job; they'd be married! “Miss Lake,” Black burbled, “I must see this young man—as soon as pos- sible. Get him for me.” Helen turned toward her own desk. “I'll phone him,” she called. “I know his number——" Then bit her lip. “I mean, I noticed it on the letter when I read it.” “Yes—hurry!” Black didn't even notice her slip; he bent over the let- ter, murmuring: *Spacing—perfect; ‘t’s’ excellent; loopl——- * * * HELEN hnd Paul on the wire and very formally invited him to come see Mr. Black; trying to keep her face | straight when he whooped a “Swell, | baby!” into her ear. She hung up and turned to her employer, then | caught her breath. He was scowling | ferociously, staring at something &t | the bottom of the page. The “y” in “yours truly”! The let- ter that Paul had been forced to invent. “What's the matter, Mr. Black?” she quavered. “Something growled. All Helen’s hopes were shattered. What was the use? Paul would go on tramping the streets—and matters would be even worse, because Black would fire her when he'd discovered | her deception. But what was he saying? “Too bad!” Ferris Black shook his head, dolefully. “Such a fine young man, with that threat hanging over him!” “What is it, managed to ask. He looked up at her, assuming a | professorial pose. “I've been studying | cabala—you knpow, the medieval sys- tem of fort: -telling through num- bers. This young man has 10 letters in his name—very unlucky for a per- son with his personality. I'll have to | watch him carefully.” “You mean, you'll give him the job?” “Oh, of course. I'll put him on as a | special salesman. I couldn't let a man | of his capability go. But he's due for personal misfortune, Miss Lake. You'll have to help me watch out for him.” “Will I!” Miss Lake thought, glee- fully. wrong here,” he Mr. Black?” Helen (Copyright, 1936.) Wood’s Commercial School Established 1885 710 14th St. N.W.
