THURSDAY, YESTERDAY: Eileen’s mar- riage with Martin Dane broken on the rock of Martin’s incorrigible play-boy manner. And so far as Eileen knows, Martin is getting a divorce and probably will marry Caroline Dempster, who had always in- tended to marry him anyway. And Eileen has forced Lewis Delevan, who manages the Wil- lesdon Institute and distributed Martin’s father’s money, to ‘give her @ job. Chapter 26 New Life evan was, so far as she knew, doing her work well. She was | engaged in some emergency typ- ing with a nervous kindly Miss Violetta Lee. Miss Lee interested her, She combined rather old- fashioned soft-voiced Southern graces, and what must once have} been a clear-featured delicate old- portrait prettiness, with an able) grasp on her job, which con-| cerned statistics on population. She was an important person, Eileen found, in the institute. Aside from that she was rather | pathetically dometsic. Her per-| sonal interest centered around the period perfection of a small apart- ment which held the remains of; a Virginia manor’s furnishings, and attentions to what sounded like a rather selfish invalid mother. The mother’s photograph, frail, gray-waved and bravely smiling, was silver-framed on Miss Lee’s desk along with those of a half-dozen stairstep’ nieces and nephews. Doing Miss Lee’s checks at the} month end offered a further in- sight. Bills for the smallest niece’s tonsillectomy. For a layette. For the last term at a Connecticut boys’ school. She was called into Delevan’s office some weeks later, again. He was not alone, A gray-haired, stoeky man stood examining one of the pin-stuck maps on the far- thest wall. Lewis came forward with that heartening warmth in his manner which she had seen in him once before. “T've been hearing fine things of your work,” he said. He dropped his voice to add, “This gentleman is not to know that ‘ou work here.” He turned to im, saying. “This is Mr. Harbi- son, Mrs, Dane, He has a paper here that I believe you want to sign.” She knew what it was, of course, even before Mr. Harbison said something pleasant about ap- preciation of her co-operation, and the other side’s hope that she would reconsider her too unselfish attitude about a settlement. She only shook her head, with a look at Lewis, who said, “Mrs. Dane tells‘me that she has good reasons for wishing nothing. She is pro- vided for.” So in a short moment the paper was signed and Mr. Harbison was gone and it was done. She said to Lewis, trying to let the words sound easy, “He's marrying Caroline as soon as it's ever?” | Lewis nodded. “J understand so. A sound fine girl like Laura Grant would have been a better balance wheel for him, but after all Caroline is Martin's own sort. Pity. . . . Now, Eileen, we're go- | ing to” put all this behind, us. | You've a long life ahead of you with fine things in it.” She spoke bitterly before she | thought. “You mean ending in an impor- | tant job like Miss Lee's.

I am convinced now, I intend to train my principal helpe “Train me?” ou. You have brains and ability.

There's always jealovsy and _poli- tics in a place of this s rt. Make friends, win liking. You ean, you have charm. I'll always be here for you to check with. And it’s Lewis when we're alone, please.” He began then and there discus- sing with her the character and methods and ways of the people she was with in the filing depart- men, And how to handle them with objectivity. “Look at them j with entire detachment,” he said. “You must learn to handle them, never to be flattered or hurt by what they do or say.” “But—it’s so chilly!” she pro- | tested. “It’s the first lesson of all ex- | ecutives. Tell me again what little |Miss Kelly said about the salary | scale. And I'll tell you how you should have answered.” She realized as time went on | that this was training of a sort |she could not have bought or found anywhere. She was matur- ing. She was learning to think. “But it’s as if they were all | things in a game,” she said once, dismayed. “They are,” he said. “The only difference is that if we move them they’ll go where they should. If they blunder into moving themselves, or the wrong hands push them, they’ll go wrong.” And at his fervor, as always, she was. éxcited, and stimulated to go on. The Other Side BENS human; the obvious lik- ing of the various people she worked with pleased her, in spite of Lewis’ admonitions. He had told her to make. friends, win good will. Naturally, she gave it back. And more and more she was enthralled by Lewis’ side of her work; analysis and methods of handling personal relationships, bersonal behavior, actions. And so she could not under- stand it when she began to feel, vaguely at first, and presently too clearly to doubt, a slackening of good will among those around her. But one day, down in the lunchroom, she understood. She was talking to Rose Puc- cini, one of the girls in the Pub- | lication department, questioning her with honest interest, The girl, a black-eyed heavy-jawed little ¢reature, turned on her furiously. “I'm sick of your prying,” she cried. ‘ind out for yourself. And like.” Eileen said, after a minute of silence, “Just what do you mean?” One of the others at the table tried to hush Roge, but she glared and went defiantly on. “I mean you’re in with Delevan, that’s what I mean! Smiling and smooth with everybody, and reporting hoofed out after—” “Stop, Rose! Please,” one of the other gi t the little table said. But Rose said, “I'm getting out | anyhow, and it's time somebody her” what we all think of her! “That isn’t true!” Eileen said. “You know it's not true.” She turned to the others. But they avoided her eyes and were silent, They slipped aw: from her on muttered pretexts, leaving her at the table, angry and perplexed.

Eventually deciding to go on with the game, the Barbers took the field, thus forfeiting their right to protest as soon as the next play had been completed. Meanwhile, the Plumbers were romping merrily along on a string of walks and errors to pile up three runs in their half of the first. They added two more in the third. “Tarzan” Goes Home Growing more and more gruntied as the Plumbers contir ued to score, the Barbers started a private battle among th selves, which stalled the when “Fatzan" Albury and third"baseman, walked the field while his team was ting in the fourth.
