| | ] 1 ; 1 i i i READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent and lonely girl, secures her first job with Armitage & Son, and a few days later is made private secretary to Ralph Armitage. ~She thinks she owes her promotion to hard work, rather than her beaut. Her father, a drunkard, has spoil- ed her life beca he continually tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women their price, Lynda meets Eniily Andrews, who cherishes a secret fondness for Da- vid Kenmore, Lynda's companion from childhood. Emily plots to make things uncomfortable for Lyn- da. Lynd and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her. Claire tells of innocent love for Y¥red Blaque, who ehe afterwards learns is a married man. David has told Lynda he loves her, but already is a bit jealous of Ralph Armitage, and imagines her sentiments towards him have changed. Lynda types her first letter for Ralph Armitage. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAFTER XVII Armitage Begins to Tak of Love Lynda was very proud because she was able to keep all fecling, all interest from her face as she typed his Jetter to the father of his in- sane wife. When it was finished, she addressed the envelope and passed it over without a word, Armitage read it and affixed his signature, clipped the copies togeth- er, and put them away in a locked box in a safe near his desk that was marked with his name. After this, he got up slowly and went over and sat down by a window for a long time. His face was a mirror of sadness and indignation, glmost hopeless, and he seemed 0 be thinking of something far remote from his business. With an inco- herent exclamation he, at last, sprang to his feet and came again and stood by Lynda's desk. “Please, Miss Fenton,” said Ralph Armitage, *“use my personal note vaper for these letter: as if these ore the first letters he had dictat- 1 that morning. He had evidently t out of his mind the one to his lier-in-law, I’or another hour Lynda was put to the test. Armitage spoke rapidly, and sometimes rather indistinctly, as he answered notes of invitation from society friends, sent checks to tradesmen, and others who wanted him to subscribe to different chari- ties, not one of whom he refused. “There, thank God, that's my last social duty for today,” he evclaimed, as he signed a letter to June Challer, saying he was not sure he would be able to attend her party, “If you will let me just drop in, if I'm in the city, T will be charmed to come in,” it read. Lynda looked up just in time to catch that most enchanting smile. “That let's me out,” he exclaimed, “it T find something I want to do more, Did you know, Miss Fenton, I've been blessing my stars most of this weary and hopeless day that vou do not use a lipstick, for T've been able to tell immediately what you've been thinking because of it.

Then she raised her eyes ex peetantly to Ralph Armitage’s face “Do vou know,” he said, softly, “you are either very clever or awfully good, Miss Fenton.” “Cannot one be both, Mr. Armi- tage 2" “Perhaps, but T have failed to find that combination in my young | lite." Lynda bent her head farther over | her machine and smiled. She did not think that cynical speech need- ed an answer, “Miss Fenton.” The tones with wh ich Ralph Ar- mitage spoke her name were curt, Tn consterpation she turned her heud Yes, Mr. Armitage.” Again that smile. “I just wanted to prove to myself that T really was not mistaken — that T have not just dreamed of the combination.

Was 'y man a poect when talking love? David talked of the moon, and Mr, Armitage softly spoke of violets drenched in rain! David seemed ashamed, but Ralph Armitage was impaticut because she didn't re- spond. ‘When the * | he found the had her oung bo rest of th returned, letters he had dictated that morning neatly piled on his desk, and Lynda at work on the filing 5. He was very businesslike as he gave her some more letters pertaining to the firm. Lynda could not make her- self believe that a few hours ago he had likened her eyes to the Mediter- ranean.

It scemed as though she had become suddenly rich. “Now, they're like the Mediter- | ranean when the sun shines on it,” | said Ralph, unespectedly, as he turned the knob of the door.

While the state depart- | ment has the matter under consider | ation and has come to no conclusion as yet regarding it. President Cool- idge is inclined to think a ceremony of this kind would enhance greatly | the prestige of the treaty and would | emphastze its importance to all na- |tions of the world.
