e — READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, daughter of John Fenton, a periodical drunkard, has obtained her first job in the office of Armitage & Son. Her father is always telling her that every woman has her price, | and that her own mother deserted | them for a wealthy man. Lynda's one friend and constant companion since childhood is David | Kenmore, a salesman for Armitage. At the office Lynda meets Emily | Andrews, who cherishes a sccret | fondness for David. | All at once it dawns upon David | that, although he imagined he was | interested in Emily, he is really in love with Lynda, and when her father deserts her, he tells her he loves her, and that if she'll wait until the first of the year he'll ask her to be his wife. Lynda finds an old acquaintance, Claire Stanhope, and asks her to come and live with her. Ralph Armitage appoints Lynda his private secretary, and Emily Andrews tells her she can expect the girls to “high hat” her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIV | CLAIRE TELLS HER STORY Emily Andrews had the grace to blush when Lynda asked her whether she would turn down the position with young Mr. Armitage as his secretary. But one must say this for Emily—she always was trank. “I'll say I wouldn't,” she stated, decisively. “I'd take it s0 quickly that it would make Armi's hair curl in spite of the staycomb that is on it. But you see, Lynda, I didn't think you were that kind.” *What kind 2" “Why, you're a regular little an- nexer. What will your Davie say to all this?" “He told me himself that he ex- pected me to become Mr. Armitage's secretary very soon,” replied Lynda. Still she looked rather startled when Emily Andrews asked her what David would think of her pro- motion. She realized that she had not once thought of David since Mr. Armitage had called her into his of- tice, and even at this moment she didn’t care what David would think. He had told her in the beginning that she would probably become young Armitage's secretary. He couldn’t say much about it now, ex- cept to congratulate her, “When are you going to work in Armi's office?” asked Emily, using the nickname she had given him be- fore he came into the firm, “Tomorrow morning. “Well, you certainly are the fast worker; and to think you did it all with that little guileless white face of yours. If I thought I could enter vour class, I'd never use a lipstick as a disguise again.” Lynda looked puzzled, but did not ask Emily what she meant. She had already decided to beg Claire to tell her what kind of a lipstick she used, as she knew Claire was going home with her tonight. When the office closed, she hur- ried out to meet Claire. After they had gone all over Lynda's house, Claire sat down in the clean kitchen with a sigh of content. “This is altogether too good to be true, Lynda. Do you really think I can afford to live with you? I only get thirty-five dollars a week.” She put her hand into her pocket and drew out some bills. “I'll tell you what I'll do. T'll put thirty-tive dollars in this blue pitch- | er against the rent of your house for | a month, and we'll see how long it | will last for food. If you have to | pay out more, I'll pay half. If we can make it do for both of us, I'll | consider myself luckier than I de- | serve.” | “Why, Claire.”” said Lynda, with a smile, “I've never had thirty-five dollars in one month in my life to spend for food, and I've been Dad's housekecper ever since 1 was twelve years old. Of course, we'll have to do every bit of ths work oursclves, and be very economical, but I am sure we'll be able to make a go of it. | “You take Dad’s room, Clalre, and Tl sec what I can do with the mar- keting for the first week.” Rising to her feet, and making a | very dignified bow, she asked | “What will you have for dinner SWEETHEARTS By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Author of “My Son’s Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Etec. Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, “Hurry up, Claire, there's a waffle can smell the coffee.” “Hurry up, Claire, there's a waffle on the iron, and I'm sure you can smell the coffee.” i “I can't eat now, Lynda. I've got | to tell vou something, Come hu'-vE and sit down.” | There was a sob in Claire's voice vhich Lynda scomed to know must | ot be contradicted. She turned out the blaze under the coffee, set the | waffle iron aside, and scated herself | beside Claire, who began: | “I don’'t know what FEmmy An- drews told you about Fred Blaque and me, Lynda, but I must tell you | the truth about it, before I have caten a bite or slept in your house. I was sixteen when I first met Fred. | I fell in love the first night I met him. I wondcred how it would feel, even then, to have him close my eyes with his kisses.” Lynda gave a delicious little shud- der, for she remembered David's kisses on her eyes. Claire's reaction was that Lynda bad made a gesture of disgust, and said quickly: “Yes, 1 know how that must sound to your innocent cars, and, pray God, Lyn, that you may never know the mad rapture of such k cs, for after your cyes have onc been closed by your lover's lips upon them, they will never look upon the same world again. “Fred loved me at first, too. We lived ouly for euch other. 1 con- fidently expected he would me to marry him in the spring and, girl-like, planned my wedding clothes, when one day a woman stopped me on the street and asked me what I meant by stealing a man | away from his wife and helpless lit- | tle children. 1 told her 1 did not know what she was talking about. That didn't keep her from explain- ing in detail that she knew all about me, and threatened if I didn't leave her husband alone, she would horses whip me. “You can imagine what that meant to me, for 1 was perfectly in- nocent of any wrong doing. That evening, I asked Fred about it, and he told me it was true. He was married. When he told me that, something in me died and I only prayed that the rest of me would die soon, so that T could be decently buried, altogether, body and soul, ince that night, that dead thing T've been lugging around in my breast, is my love for Fred. He didn't seem to understand when I told him I didn’t love him any more. He thought 1 was just hurt and City Advertisement tonight, Miss Stanhope?"” | “I'll have hot waffles and honey. | Miss Fenton,” answered (laire, not dream!ng she would get them. | “All right.
