Bentley had not been to see me since
my accident, though he had sent mo a
bottle of champagne. I am sure I don't
know bow Bentley’s sympathy ever
found vent on occasions when a gift of
champagne could not express it. 'Per
haps such occasions never arose. Soon
after the typewriter’s call I got a letter
from him. He said:

i bower to aee how you are, but I hear,

“The boss’' always began an inter
view with me by a distinct declaration,
in manner, that I. was an employee,
and only an employee, and that be ut
terly refused to take the slightest notice
of Hie fact that 1 was also a woman. A

The queer thing was that this novel

nearly always ph ased him for a few

the predatory habits of u lifetime de

again, perhaps bringing about a reac

Bentley’■ next bulletin waa made out
in orthodox form:

matter with me. Yours truly,
R. Rkmtlat.
The next voiced a surprising proposi
tion
I am thinking (it road) of doing the ancient
honorable and mytng something to old Martin.
I don't know anything more about the little
elockworks that run that tgme lamb of bis
than 1 did at first. You might as well try to
■gitate a Waterbary. But the office Seems to
be getting on tome, ear r-rara on 'em, gnd I'm

This waa tho last I heard directly
from Bentley for several weeks. In'the
meantime I occasionally had news of
him from other people. An office boy
Chine np for copy one day, and after he
had gotten it continued to hang around
in an engaging manner. He was a nice
boyish boy and spent - his aparo tiupt
writing to aonie one whom he addressed
aa “Miss Tooty Fareiuan, Dear Miss.”
He was unnaturally Chreleos of these
letters (as of all other matters personal
and professional), and once, t>efore re
alizing what it was, 1 read the o(tening
sentence of one. It run. ’“The Honrs I
■pend aw«y from Thee, Tooty, are no
good whatever, but I know you don't
feel truely as Ido.” So you see he tvas
nreoared hv »i»iMira,.m^ tuk^^u.
with iiis own odd compound of humor,
suspicion) scorn and.simple human in
terest “You'll be getting married
'some of these days, just tike any other
fool They any that ass Bentley Is In
love up there,” pointing with a rough,
fat thumb to the ceiling.
“I knew he'd turned almighty no
account lately,” bo went on. “So,
when I got hold of this. I sent for him
•nd gave him some good advice.’ But
he told me he wanted to marry the girl.
I had a notion to dismiss him on the
spot.
He drew down hisoverhanging browa
■nd looked at me as piercingly as if hs
pleasure of contemplating the folly of
\th«> philosophers who.call self interest
tbe dominating motive of man, seeing
that proposition just then in the light)
of the fact that self interest was t
'one principle that Iljggens proposed
himself and that he lived in a worl
most cunningly calculated to stiffen b
ndllercuce to it and that yet hia whims,
whims for showing -his authority, for
humiliating those who seemed to ba
living Independent of bis permission,]
for expressing his inconsistent dislike of
low toned temper uni on ts, even, as
have before pointed out, -for indulgin
occasionally in the exercise of the for-!
bidden decencies of his nature—that!
- yet ntt these caprices, and others, fre
quently swerved him fiimi the straight
and simple course that lie proposed to
himself s then 1 came back to the point
that wap making itself clear—that l
could not bear to Jhink of poor old Mar
tin kitting into trouble.
At last, not being able to rid myself!
of this uneasiness by the obvious con
sideration that it was none of my busi
ness, 1 sat down and wrote a succinct
statement of •ui^donvCTsaflyn with Hig-
gens and of my fears to Benkley, con
cluding with a piece of gratuitous ad
vice to the effect that had better And,
some way of adapting oisisystem to the
exigencies of the boss’ temper or
abandon it for some .less noticeable and
generally irritating' method of attack.
Thu next day he made a short call
upon me. <
His red hair was as aggressively up-,
right aS ever, his’ clothes as new, hia
silk hat ns shiny,- but still there was a
drooping sadness about tbe whole figure

Higgens. “That ' is,.” said Bentley,
pointing with his thumb, “she's doing

jnst like tier '' Next week, he said, she
Would leave the office.
Bentley wore a new aspect There
were, though mj' report of the inter
view so far may not show it, touches of
digffity and deference and reticence in
his manner and expression that, though
they did not change his familiar guise
or tone to a casual glance or a half
listening ear, were novel and pleaeing
to an neuter observation.
He scon declared that ho must goont
to “see a iiian” and said he wohld
come back for Limiie in half an hour.
Hu came to me, ami, with a speaking
gaze charged with confidential commu
nications, wrung my hand till he brought
tears to my eyes ami to his own. He
made it clear that he was giving me
the.. k*oiy of his success, an honor to
which 1 had not tiie least claim, but I
understood the state of mind in which
it pleased liitn to lavish his welling
gratitude to things in general npon
some defibite-and tangible object.
Then he left imYalone with the small
woman who had been causing alb this
pother.
You could see in every line of her at
titude and in .every detail of her neat,
appropriate gown and jacket and hat
whut an example of the discreet virtues
and the pleasing properties she was
horn to i>e.
1 gazed upon her with appreciative
admiration minglffd with fear, for I
was not inspired with tlie greatest con
fidence in her powers of conversation,
though she had get through her greet-

ley had his own ideas of tbe pro

“Well* Jimmy, bow are things going
at the office?” I asked, by way of being
friendly, while ho stood irresolutely by
tbe door.
"They say—they aay Mr. Bentley’s
in love With that Martin girl.” said
Jimmy, bis tone even more than his
phrasing showing that his callow con
tempt for feminine kind still included
all of the sex hut Mise Fureinan or her
successor.
"Do you think he is?” I asked.
"When I look at her I don’t,” he as
serted. "She don't amount to nothin,
but Mr. Bentley acts kind of queer. He
keeps lookin at her when bo thinks no
body donH see him—be don’t notice
me. He stops still sometimes and stares
right before him till somethin makes
him Jump. I think that's a had sign,^
don’t you, Miss Addington?”
At last the time came when I tvas
able to make a little trip down town. I
went to the office, but not tq tho edi
torial rooms, because they could be
reached only by means of a short flight
of steps after leaving the elevator, and
I did not want to attempt the climb,
My errand was with that great penlon
km iwn here as "the boss.”
The boss' name was J. B. Higgens.
He was a big brained, big bodied,
coarse flbered, powerful oklTaUow, with
a good deal of human nature in him.
And though all the other women and
most of the men in his employ stood in
terror of him, I did not, and so I did
not, like them, altogether hate him.
He was highly skeptical of good always
and anywhere, but yet he had too much
•ense not to know that distrust can
overleap the mark, can be tripped in
its own net, and it always pleased me
to see his suspicions both sustained and
held in check by his sagacity.
He met me with his gray eyes peer
ing alertly out from) under his shaggy
eyebrows and pver“ his puffy purple
cheeks, to see whether, after ail. I had
really been having such a bad.time
with that ankle. I had cpme down to
fight out a little queetion 6f salary, and
Higgens met me as both counsel
and plaintiff on the other side. Tbe
contest and its results are matters aside
from this history, but we are concerned
with tbe touch of hnwnnew that now
uicuta. His toii>]HT rufilial a little.
"A good deal, more justifiable than
you'd think,” he asserted aggressively.
: "I wish l‘d never knocked under to
hire women.’’
1 “Oh, well.” I replied soothingly,
"you cun comfort yourself with the re
flection that you did it only to save
i money. "*
He shot another scowling, scrutinis
ing glance at me.
"Do you know the girl?” he asked.
No, I said; I had never spoken to her.
I "Hhe must he a queer fool,” went
«u the man of reason. “\£lry don't she
haul him in and get the thing over
with? She can't expect to do any bet
ter.'’
1 said that perhupa slit* did not want
| to marry him. My employer snorted | to get rid of her
with genaiue irritation,
i "Want! What else aro/yon women
'always wanting I” and then he added,
after obviously swallowing an oath, a
special courtesy I much appreciated:
"Unless there is every reason why you
should want it, unless you’d ho some

realized that he wiiiT descending from

over the chimney tops. ^

in which lie liked to characterize the
girl ho lovcel in the namesJi«* gave her,
ami in his depression was taking refuge
with all mankind in the significant pro-
norm.

This scientific mptiffia of inquiry

turned her head on one side and looked
at mo with an expression of intent in-
tellectujll preoccupation, as a pigeon
might look if it gave its mind to math

“I don’t think 1. can 'tell exactly,’
she said at last, with an inflection that
recognized the mystery and novelty of
tips inability. “A,t least,” she went on
painstakingly and slowly, "of-course I
ought to care for him when he’s so—so
