ROM his desk the efMfctoncy man could hea Constance playing @ piano across the hall to @n accompaniment of swiftly moving feet. At times, when the piano was not in action, the phonograph took up the relief work. It was while the phonograph was Playing and Constance was swiftly whirling with the Van Nest boy, who had called with several young people, that tho latter asked in @ casual tone: “Who's your friend?” She followed the direction ef his glance and saw, at the threshold of the room, the figure of H, Hedge, Ho was watching her, Constance inissed @ step, something that was foreign to her custom, and that did not serve to improve her temper. The Van Nest boy had not recovered from his astonishment at the error when the efficiency man ed- vanced across the room, “One moment, please,” he sald, Hedge included them all in @ brief bow, then gave his entire attention to Constance, “What is the dance?’ Constance, surprised out of speech by th trusion, turned appealingly to the Van N: youth, “Partly a fox,” drawled that “with a few steps of my own, “You invented them?" inquired Hedger “t guess #0, Don't remember ex- actly; I dance quite a “It doesn’t matter, point T person, SOBER 2 Strange Things Happen wish to make is, why do you waste #0 many steps “Waste ‘en ?” Constance's partner was a young man.

The Van Nest boy was standing with his mouth open. A small circle of curious youn, people had assembled itself round the trio, studying the efficiency man with wide eyes. Presently Wally Van Nest recovered speech, “But say, he protested, “those side steps are purt of the dance, Don't you understand?" “Very well. Grant that, But why four? Why not two? You obtain ex- actly the same effoot, that of moving crubwise, with 60 per cent, of the effort, I will illustrate, Allow me, Miss Brooke.” And _ before Constance could move, the efficiency man stepped forward, bowed deferentinily, and sMpped an arm about her waist. A second later the ring of observers opened for them @nd they glided rapidly forward across the floor. With Constance, the Manoeuvre was purely automatio and involuntary, She was in a whirl of rage and confusion, but her feet moved with mechanical obedience to long training. Eight steps forward they moved, H.

There was a cer- tainty and sureness about efficient dancing that interested her. It was a trifle abrupt, perhaps; a Mttle too precise, Yo it was new—dilfferent. After Millie the efficiency man found other cases to be disposed of. ‘Thore was Clara Cushing, for in- stance, and after Clara there was of her brother's’ disdain, came Hildegarde Forrest and Marion Johnston and Florrie Kichmond, Florrie even requested an extra leason, for what possible reason Con- could not understand, Florrie natural dancer and could “fol. anybody in a dance that was utterly strange to her, it was, there- fore, not without justification that Constance was annoyed at Florrie, The voice of the efficiency man re- called her from speculations, “Thank you,” he was saying, “Glad to have been of service, Call on m any time, Thank you, Miss Brook He bowed and walked briskly out of the room, not deviating by @ hairs breadth "trom the shortest possible rout “And who,” demanded Millie Min- tern, as he strode from sight, “le Mr. ae oa 14 Constance, “le a “Mr, ” gata Cor oF f tether” i Constance turned @ level glance upon Hildegarde, “Housekeeper? Certainly not!” she sald, “But I thought you told mamma”— “Your mother surely misunderstood me,” interrupted Constance, Mr Hedge is in charge of some of my father’s business affairs.” True effiictency 1s an octopus reaching out in all directions and selzing upon all things. On the even- ing of that same day @ curious thing happened. Outside the door of Billy’s room H. Hedge paused for only an instant, then knocked twice and entered with- out waiting for a summons, ‘Thero were five young men seated @ table and one of them was Billy Prooke. It was apparent that none of them had heard the knock, and also that they were still oblivious of the presence of a visitor, ‘ou'll have to come again,” Billy sald, airily, as he pushed two blue checks toward the centre of the table, “Mine are still looking healthy.” “And then some,” said a slender youth who eat at his left, As he spoke he nonchalantly shoved tour blue chips away from his stack. H. Hedge stepped forward into the room and coughed. Five young men looked up from their labors and eyed him in astonishment, “Gambling not permitted in this house,” he sald, pleasantly, “Gen- tlemen, I am confident that Horace By William A, Page | f Maurice V.
