Philip Wins His Fight Au the next day, Sally tortured herself with the memory of Mary's midnight visit to Philip Page. “To add to her unhappiness, she scarce- y sew Philip ail day. He did not come into the outer office, nor did he ring ‘the bell for ber. When Sally reached home, the fam- lly were at supper and her step- mother was reading aloud a letter from her young half-sister, Tip, “What do you think, Sally?” said Mra Warren. “Tip’s expecting a aby! She's such a child herself. And te have @ baby way off there in the wilds of South America—" “There are a lot of babies born down there, Mother,” “They even have real hospitals.” “She'll be ali right.” Sally agreed. “Here's a letter that concerns you Sally.” said Mr. Warren, looking up from the page he had been reading. “Your uncle in Richmond writes that he bas @ vacancy in his publishing business that might interest you.

She got up and walked to the Window. leaving her supper almost untouched it had begun to rain out- Side, soft, steady downpour that the ground drank eagerly. it Seemed to Sally as she stared out at the gray tines of the rain that the future life that stretched Lefore her was like the rain in color. A month ago she had loved Warrenton so much she could have promised that she would never iive anywhere eise. She hed been excited over nelping to make Warrenton @ good place to live for the poor as well as the rich. Now all that was changed. One man had changed it for her. Just as Philip Page nad made War- fenton seem the most desirable spot en earth to Sally, so with like magic he had destroyed the vision. With a little shudder, Sally thought of the future left for her in Warren- ton. Sbe would have to live across the street from Mary and Philip. Their nappiness would be thrust in her very face. The job in Richmond was an opportunity she could lose no *time in accepting. Two Weeks’ Notice S Soon as she reached the office mext day. Sally wrote to her uncle, promising to come to Richmond im two weeks. Some faint hope that she would change her mind made Sally drop the letter in her desk Grawer and wait to mail it until she had seen Philip Page. In the middle of the morning. when he did not call her to do his letters, Sally went to his door and knocked boldly. A curt ‘Weice invited her to come 'n. “1 didn’t mean to ring for you, Miss Warren,” said Philip. “You didn’t ring for me,” said Sally. a slow flush spread over her face and throat. How cruel he could be inten- Sionally making it as difficult as he could for her to speak. “I have some- thing to say to you, if you can spare @ moment” “Please sit down,” said Philip. “I shall not need to stay that long,” answered Sally coldly. “i'm leaving the office. 1 simply wanted ‘to give th. customar: two weeks’ notice.” “1 was afraid you wouldn't stick it out jong.” said Philip. “Only the people who are obliged to make a living know what it is to stick to a Job through hick and thin. Sally was so angry at this thrust that she could not give a coherent tep:3. She turned on her heel and left Much can happen in two weeks, even if the days seem to pass like @uick picture flashes on a screen. Within two weeks Mr. Morris, owner ‘of half the property in town, and Philip's enemy for so many months, wecovered sufficiently from the stroke wed had suffered to summon Philip to his house for an interview. The whole office force knew where ip Page had gone that morning. ould Mr. Morris continue the fight ith Philip's newspaper, after he had proved wrong in the trial of icDonald, or would he give in and | a truce?

Smith of Kan-| Sis City, Mo., president of the Re- Mary, his daughter, and Philip his erstwhile enemy. Sally, nearing the end of her time in the office, believed with the rest | of the force that Philip's visit to the ; Morris home had something to do with Mary. She waited, like the others, to hear the outcome of his visit, Finally Philip called in the city | editor and gave him the story for the paper. The story did not mention ‘ Philip Page. It related that McDonald had been reinstated in the Morris mill, and that Mr, Morris had signed an agreement to remodel completely the mill village in the next few months, “Just the same, | bet there was more to that intervie. ~en the boss and old man Morris than the boss has got in this story,” said Lola Hopkins. “You go get it out of him, then,” urged one of the men. “Not. on your life,” said . Lola. “Leave the guy a few secrets he don't have to put in the paper.” She turned | to Sally. “It’s pretty swell for Mc- Donald. *, “I've got an idea,” said Sally. “Let's go down and celebrate with the Mc- Donalds—give them the news before it comes out in the paper! We can! take the supper with us and give them a surprise spread.” “I'm right with you,” promised Lola. “We'll go out at lunch time and buy the eats.” Sally did not tell Lola that this party also would be her farewell to the McDonalds. She had told no one in the office that she was leaving. Thus far Philip seemed to have told no one, and certainly he had said nothing about who Sally’s successor would be. Inviting The Boss T lunch time Bobi Dawes came into the office. When he \saw Sally and Lola starting out together he in- caog ne taking them both to lunch and t ing lor the Mc- Donald Ripe shew, ep fe Purther- more! Get‘insistéd on adding to the simple refreshments they had plan- ned. Bob visited a bal@ry and got fudge cakes and macaroons. He ordered a gallon of ice-cream at the candy shop, and came back from the butcher shop with a large ham. “Do | get invited on this party, or don't [?” demanded Bob. “You do,” said Lola. “Only you may be shy. You don't know the peo- ple.” She turned to Sally. “What about asking the boss? Bet you he'd love to come.” Sally felt herself change color and knew that the sign would not be lost on Lola's keen eyes. She wanted more than anything she could think of to ask Philip to th- party, but sh couid not. Even if Lola asked, Philip would suspect her of contriving the affair so as to get him there. “1 don't think he'd come,” she said slowly. “He’s so busy all the time no’ “He's in the dumps,” said Lola. “For a man that’s just won his fight, he looks as if he got a ticket to the graveyard along with it, He needs to step out a little. I'll ask him if you don't want to.” As luck would have it, they met Philip in front of the office just as they were parting with Bob, who had agreed to go with them and take the food in his car. Bob firmly declined to join the party, since he did not know the McDonalds, but he insisted on seeing them to the very door of the house. “I'll call for you at 5:30,” he was saying to Sally as Philip came out of the street door. Philip, after a hasty glance at them, nodded coldly and j went on down the street. But Lola had looked up from checking over the bundles just in time to see Philip and pursue him down the street, “Hey! Wait a minute, Mr. Page!” she hurried after him. | Sally saw Philip stop and Lola speak to him. They appeared to be arguing, then, finally, Lola shrugged and turned back and Philip went his way. “No luck,” said Lola to Sally. “Never mind—it’s going to be a swell party.” Sally and Lola both set to work with a will, anxious to finish and leave early., Sally, finished first. Instead of putting on! or hat and‘teaving imme- diately, she sat at her desk and played | with a little paper weight Philip had once given) her. Every day for the past two weeks ‘2e had felt this desire to linger in the office. While she was here, she was close to Philip, Every- thing reminded her of him. “Let’s get going. “I'll run you | home.” Lola had finished her work | and was putting on her hat. Sally roused herself from the day | dreams that were weaving a spell | over her senses. It was well that she had only two days more to spend in the office. If she stayed much longer, she would have little pride left. (Copyright, 1936. Bailey Wolfe) i} WHO SHO1 VRONSKI?
