Doug was very much embarrassed; in reality, he would have been delighted at the offer and the prospects for increased income that were involved, yet on’ the other hand he was sure that Monahan was not getting @ square deal. He feared that the offer of the junior partnership was merely a bribe to make him side with the Weavers and against the hon- est old Irishman who had been his friend since boyhood. “Well?” demanded Weaver, “What about it? Do you accept?” Doug still hesitated. “I'm very much obliged for the offer,” he said ‘slowly. “It would mean @ lot to me, but before I say yes, I'd }ike to straighten out this Monahan business,” Weaver waved his hand carelessly, as though to dismiss such @ trivial | subject, “All right, if you insist,” he added impatiently, “The case is simple We've got an offer of $5,000 nd if you are a friend of his, you had better persuade him to take it. He'll listen to you. Doug was still hesitating, uncertoin what to say, when the door opened and Ruth Hunter appeared, clad in a pretty, filmy afternoon frock. She paused when she saw Mr. Weaver, who rose and bowed. “Oh, Doug, I'm afraid you're busy,” she said prettily, with @ smile at Mr, Weaver, who cordially welcomed her. “Come in, Miss Hunter,” he smiled, “Glad to see you.” “Hello, Ruth, I didn't realize it was so late.” Doug looked at his watch, “I'll be through these papers in a few minutes.” Otis Weaver gazed benevolently upon the young people. “You may be inter- ested in knowing, Miss Hunter, that I have just made your young man an offer of a junior partnersnip jn this firm. What do you think of that?” “Oh, Doug, how splendid,” cried Ruth joyfully, “Yes—it is fine, isn't it? There was almost no enthusiasm jn elther Doug's voice or his face. “But it is even more than you had hoped for so soon,” “It would mean that we would be able to get married right away—yes.” Doug gazed straight ahead of him, deep in thought, “WOULD mean?” repeated Weaver in amazement. “You're not going to Say no to such a splendid proposition, \are you?” Douglas Adams shook his head doubt- fu’ “T want to think it over, if you don't mind,” he replied, gazing doubt- fully at Ruth, “Of course—think {t over as long as you like,” growled Otis Weaver, In great annoyance as he picked up his hat, “I'm going to get something to pull myself together after my experl- toward the door, “Any messages?” politely. “If any one asks for me, across the street at the hotel.” “In the cafe?” asked Doug.

Only I wish you wouldn't be always putting me on such a high pedestal. You lave @ way of making me feel horribly un- comfortable. “Really? All right.
