minutes before. He fancied tbe dingy H
office wns brighter already. Then there hi
wad another consideration?women demandod
smaller remuneration for their
work, and this was still a matter of T1
moment with Bradford.
"This?er?you say Is your first position
?" ventured Bradford, admitting OT
unconsciously that the place was hers er
already. 'P
The girl saw this, but was too tact- "t
ful to give evidence of the fact. "Yes,"
she said. "I have Just finished my w
course In stenography."
Bradford liked her soft, well modulated
voice. It would sound well to w
Ills customers over the phoue. A man's H
voice would not aound half so well. m
"Office work Is confining," he suggested
by way of discouraging her.
"Yes; but when a woman has to ''u
make her way In the world she puts
on a smile and faces tbe worst," she lj
replied, with Juat a suspicion of an tl
accent on the last word and with an
undeniably roguish twinkle In her eyes. "1
She could not quite cast aside the manner
that had been her charm In the ni
wings and fly, but Innate coquetry 'IS ni
not to lie stifled by mere financial de- rl
presslon. m
Bradford could not deny that her In
smile had Individuality. lie wonder- y<
(Ml why tlic women lie had been forced I b
to moot bad never smiled In Just that
way. He never .knew why, but be h<
suddenly wished the office were clean- pi
er. He would certainly speak to the c<
woman who scrubbed and dusted In the t?
building. b
"And?about?about salary''" be asked
awkwardly. It was all rot?this tl
women In business Idea. They bad no p
right there. He would have a man. t<
He felt like a cad tulklng to a woman n
about salary. What did she know of? *
of business?
"I believe it Is the employer's prerogative
to name the salary," said the ^
girl simply.
Bradford, after searching hoi>eiessly H
In his mind for a combination of words H
and figures In which to adjust the
financial end of the transaction, named A
the amount which he bad bad In mind
when Inserting the "ad."
"That will do very nicely," said the
girl, rlRlng. After all. this business
life was not so hard; men were not so
heartless. i
"And your name?" asked Bradford.
"Henderson ? Mnrjorle Henderson," i K
she said, smiling. a
-\<\nu wnen win you come'/" Bradford
surprised himself nt the way In
which he let her suit her own convenience.
d
"That, too, is your prerogative," she
replle<l, an odd little expression of def- b
erence In her eyes. h
"Tomorrow? Is that too soon?" He _
had not expected to have his stenog- .
rapher until the following week, but, |
after nil, no doubt the sooner he had
one the sooner his business letters
wonld commence to bring good re- 11
suits.
"Very well, tomorrow. And at what
hour?" This man had not told her
anything of his demands upon his employees.
Hhe had fancied herself departing
with a list of rules a page long,
to all of which she must adhere rigidly.

derided when he had Inserted the advertisement
that he would get to business
earlier and hare Ms stenographer
there with him. But?oh, well, women st
should not ha*e to get down too soon. ' si
It was hard on them. I
"I will be here at that hour. Mr.
Bradford, thank you." And she closed l.1
the door. ^
Alone, Bradford lit a cigar and lean- ?
ed back In his desk chair. What had ti
he done? lie had engaged a woman, n di
girl, as a stenographer! She would al- a|
ways be In the office. He could not ol
swear; he wondered If he should i P
smoke. Neither could bo take off his
coat and pnt his feet on his desk when ! ^
he wanted to think things out and ^
bring an unruly customer to time. I hi
But the next morning found him ea- [ n
gerly waiting for 9:30. He' could not m
tell why, but the appearance of a trim |
little tailor clad flguro In the doorway l?
made him glad. | sc
