into the kitchen just in time to sal

piece of cake, she returned once
more to the living room to listen to
the end of the play.
But she was hardly seated till the
door opened and Patsy and Johnny
entered.
“Home so soon?” questioned Maris
as she greeW them. “Didn’t you
go to the movies after all?”
“Yep,” answered Pat, “but it was
a rotten picture. Where’s Rod ?
Hasn’t he come over yet?”
“No, he left for Cleveland today!”
“He did?” cried Patsy. “What’s'

“No, he’s got a chance to denion-

But suddenly all her calculated
plans received a jar when Jimmy
said “I gU^ Rod will be a rich man
one of these days. One of the engi
neers down at our place was talking
about his gadget. He thinks it will
revolutionize radio reception.”
“That would suit you all right,

Patsy.

at Maris as though she expected her

eagerly. .“I had to see about some

Jimmy.
“Oh, maybe I’ve heard so much
about this wonderfut"gadget that I’m
not going to believe in its wonderful

and need to be shown.” There was a
note of boredom in Maris’ voice as

Next morning when Maris reached
the office, she hurried at once to her
desk, read the ‘ annoutK®tnent Stan
had given her, and finding nothing
in it which she could improve upon,
she decided to put it on his desk at
once. But as she started down the
corridor, old Mr. Fayson’s door
opened, and Stan almost collided
with her.
Handing the paper to him, she
said, “There isn’t a thing to be
changed as far as I see.” -
“That’s fine,” he answered quickly.

After that the conversation swung
into a different channel. No further
mention was made of Rod or his

She would not tell them she was no
longer interested in Rod. '
Late that night as Maris stood at
of Manhattan, a remark of Jimmy’s
echoed insistently in her ears. “Yeah,
