Sh< CHAPTER II. “I Do Give and Bequeath.” When Jack Barrow called again, w hVh happened to he that very eve ning. Hazel told him simply that she had left Harrington & Bush, without entering Into any explanation--except the general one that she had found It impossible to get on vVfth Mr. Bush ln lief mVv position. And Jack, being tno •.•jcuncemed with her than with her work, gave the tuntter scant considera tion.. — ' Tills was on a Friday. The next forcnoop Ilazel went downtown. When sin returned, a little before eleven, the. -tmiH of all work was putting the last touches to her room. The girl pointed t<» rtn oblong package On a chair. “That came fop. you a little .while ago.'Miss Weir." she said. “Mr. Bush’s carriage brought It.” “Mr.Bush’s carriage!" Hazel echoed. . “Yes’m:.

By evening it' luid pretty well passed out of Hazel’s mind. She had more* pleasant coq- corns. Jack Barrow dropped in about six-thirty to ask if she.wanted to go "Itll him to a concert during the week, py were sitting in Mho parlor, by front window, chattering to each other,-hut noi so engrossed that they failed t*» notice a carriage drawn by two splendid grays puli up at the front gat**. Tlu* footfiian, in brown livery, got dow n and cmne to the door. Ilazel knew the carriage. Site had seen Mr. Andrew Bush abroad in it many a time. She wondered if there was some further annoyance fn store for her, and frowned at lho prospect. She heard Mrs. Stout ‘ answer the hell in person! There. was a low mumble of voices. Then the inndlady appeared-In the parlor doorway, the footman behind her. “This is the lady.” Mrs. Stout In dicated Hazel. “A message for you. Miss Weir.” T^e liveried person bowed and ex tended an envelope. “I was Instructed to deliver this to you personally,” In* said, and lingered ns if he looked for further instructions. - Hazel looked at the envelope. She could not understand why, under the circumstances, any message should come to her through such a medium. But there was her name inscribed. She glanced up. Mrs. Stout gazed past the footman with an air of frank anticipa tion. Jack also was looking. But' the landlady .caught Hazel’s glance and hacked out the door, und Hizel opened the leffer; -~~ persistence.. *,He hud .Insulted her. ac : cording to her view of it—doubly In- siilted her with threats and an ef- forced caress.

She fvvlshed hIm,to4nV»or under no mlsap- prbhension as to her attitude. , Th^ next day—Sunday—she spent with Jack Barrow on a visit to his .cousin in a nearby town. They parted, as was their custom, at the door. It was .still early In the evening—eight- thirty, or thereabouts—and Hazel went * into the porlpr on tHe .first floor. Mrs. -rstoiit and one of-her boarders sat there «1iatting. and a: Hazel’s entrance! the'lamilady greeted her with a Star- •"»§; - *; . . / could not grasp the reason f«t» Butt eleventh-hour summons. But she could see that a.repetition of such incidents might put her in a queer light. Other folk might begin to wonder and inquire why Mr. Andrew Bush, took such aq “interest” In her—a mere! stenogra pher. Well, She told herself, sh’e did not care—so long as Jack Barrow’s ears Vere not assailed by talk. She smiled at that, for she could picture the reception any scandal peddler would get from him. •' w . . The next day’s papers contained the obituary of Mr. Andrew Bush., lie had died shortly after pddnight. And de spite the fact that she he'd no grudge. Hazel felt a sense of relief! lie was powerless to annoy or'persecute her. and she could not escape the convic tion that lm would have attempted both had he jived. She had now been idle a matter of (lays. Nearly three months were yet to elapse before her wedding. It seemed scarcely worth while to look for another position. She had enough money saved to do everything she wanted to do. It was not so much’ lack of money, the need to carn.-as the monotony of Idleness that' Irked her. She had acquired the habit of work, and that Is a thing not lightly shaken off. But during that day she gathered together the. different Gran ville papers, and went carefully over tin* “want’* columns. Knowing the tqwn as she did, she was enabled to eliminate the unlikely, undesirable places. Thus by • evening she was .armed with a list of firms ami individ uals requiring a stenographer, Amt in the morning she sallied forth. '♦ Her quest ended with the first place she sought. The fact of two years’ service with t-he biggest'firm in Gran ville was ample recommendationln addition to Which the office manager, It developed in their conversation,. hud known her flithvr in years gone by.
