Sally walked into the office one morning! and found Lola Hopkins perched on| the edge of her desk, haranguing a} deeply interested audience, including | the city editor himself. | “Hullo!” Lola hailed her. “What about old Wingate’s selling the pa-| per?” “I didn’t know.” said Sally quickly. “Does that mean we lose our jobs?” “They say he’s going to reorganize the old sheet,” said Lola. “But 1 guess you've got the best chance to sta He won't be much interested in your | kind of stuff.

She had played hare-and-hounds with this boy Philip Page in the days when he had lived with his father, old Judge Page, across from the Warrens. The Judge and Robert Warren used to play chess evenings while their children, so early made motherless, ran up and down the gardens and streets, playing hare-and-hounds and hide-and-seek. Robert Warren had been the first to marry, and then, when Sally was 11, the judge had married again—this time a rich widow, who took him and Philip off to Washington where things were more lively. Sally remembered her own grief a year later when news came that the kindly judge and his wife had both been killed in, an acci- dent. By that time she had lost in-} terest in young Philip. “They say he's dark and romantic looking.” Lola was saying, “but he's got a vile temper. He’s been working on a Baltimore paper and they say| he’s bought the Courier to try and} reform the town.” That sounded like the boy Philip whom Sally remembered. He had} been dark and sallow, full of restless | energy, and impatient if he could not have his way and lead in everything. | Py 008 Ft 00 é “Sounds bad for us.” The city edi. | 4e! poorer families in Wa tor shook his head. “Ought to offer aj / Dilip Page.
