"Put him on that table In the atu dlo.“ Klodle commanded. "Have those giddy green garlands come for tonight?" she asked. "Why, yes, they're out In the hall.

There are more good actresses off the stage than on, Alfred! It'll be good as a play for me!" Alfred gazed longingly from the threshold, bis eyes afire. “Say, Miss Fisher, are you going to be dressed up like you was (he last time?"

The summons was per emptory, yet it had the secret Indul gence of a doting mother for her ouly child. The only answer was a not un musical baritone growl. She banged on the door again. This time she really meant It. "Mr. Ilonl- stelle! You must get up Immediately —come on now!" A wait—then the unwilling reply, “All right!" Klodle walked back to the office, frowning, and sat down at her desk. A leaf from the calendar pad was ripped off. the desk top was dusted with a cloth; then she stopped suddenly. The elevator door had hanged. Almost immediately there entered to her the sad young Janitor. Mr. Al fred Smallish. He gave a pathetic hopeless look at Klodle and hung at anchor in the doorway, meekly. “Morning, Miss Fisher," he said, and grinned. Klodle gave a glance at him, casual ly. then gazed with more Interest. Pale blue eyes, a large Romaa noee, wideopen ears and a quivering moulh had Alfred. His chin was that of a lizard, sloping back weakly to a prom inent Adam's apple. She fumbled over the photographs on the table behind her. “Alfred,” she said In the voice of a school ma'sm, "did you see a picture of me I had here on the table the other day ?" He turned fire-red. “You—you didn't want that picture, did you. Miss Fish er?” His eyes Implored her wildly, vainly. “Well, I'll bring It back. If you say so; only, I thought, maybe—“ “Well, Alfred Smallish! I like that!” Klodle ejaculated. “Oh, Miss Fisher—you see, well, I didn’t quite dare to ask you, and—well, you know, 1 thought—It's just grand of you. Miss Fisher—!

Miss Fisher, but 1 think—" Klodle whipped out her watch. “Gracious sakes!” she cried, “where's Mr. Bonlstelle's eggs?” "I'll go down and see If they're ready, Miss Fisher." He turned heav ily. "Well, hurry up, then! If his break fast isn't here when he comes, he's liable to eat the tablecloth and go right back to bed. Quick now!” "Yes'm!" Mr. Smallish left In de jection.

Klodle sat watching his long, slen der hands engaged gracefully with fork aud spoon. But, much as she loved to watch him, her conscience made her too uncomfortable. Reluctantly ahe withdrew her eager eyea. “Well," she sighed, “now for busi ness!” She read aloud from the book. "At leu o'clock Mrs. Rena Royalton—" She looked up "Aud you won't he half ready!

"Plus five, makes twenty-six." “I'm not!” she protested—but It was no use. He laughed at her till she flushed red and sought refuge In a bundle of bills. "There's a 'Please re mit' from the Photo-Supply company." she announced, looking up. "What shall I do?" “Oh. answer ‘Necessity forbids!'” Hall shrugged his shoulders. "Why, Mr. Bonlstelle, don’t you real ize that we've simply got to pay that bill pretty soon, or they won't send ua any more stuff? Oh, It's all very well for you to sit there In a red silk dressing gown and laugh and make aristocratic Jokes! But r have to taka all the kicks, and stand off the col lectors 1" Hsll applauded gracefully. “Say. Klodle, you've got your war boots on today, haven't you! What's the par ticular matter?” "The matter!" Fiodle looked down on him as from a mountain. “Where’s the rent coming from. I'd like to know? Out of your cigarette smoke?
