"When did all this happen?" Eve

"Jurt before noon," he answered.

it Mona. At the desk she signaled
the waiter and paid her check.
Then she boarded a trolley to ride
e 10 blocks to the bank. The car
teemed to be forever stopping for
triffic ligbtj. Finally it arrived at
ill square and, Impatiently Eve
limed out.
The usual calm atmosphere per
tided the stock and bond department,
of the bank. Eve asked for Mr.
Brown but be was out. His assistant
lined to help her.

"Pure Soap, Inc. hat it gone
down?" she asked,
"Well, It dropped two' points thia
morning," he answered calmly. "But
it's gone up again within the last
hour. Just a minute and I'll get you
the figures."
Eve's knees were wesk and she
sank gratefully into a chair. This
was another angle of playing the
market. Well. h n. .mi .
But ought she sell now In case the
stock might drop again?
The young man sriViApri
wait. Eve returned to her office
slowly and thoughtfully.
Ariene was interested in Eve'a ac.
count of the luncheon.
I thought Mona was playing un
to Reece at Freda's nartv last
night," Ariene commented. "I felt
sorry for Mr. Bliss. He's so nice.
And to think he fell for Mona. onlv
to be hurt by her! I suppose he's so
infatuated, though, that he can't see
her tactics.
'We'll have to watch out for that
girl," declared Eve.
She's the worst traffic lam this
office has ever been mixed up with!'
added Ariene.
But Eve scarcely heard her. She
wondered if Dick had seen her with
Mona and Reece at the restaurant.
What would he think after what had
occurred the night before?
Perhaps it would be better for her
not to mention the luncheon. How
ever, Eve was worried.
.:
CVE ijrilored Mona Allen for the
rest of the day. Khe was so an
noyed by the other girl's trickery that
she felt she could not trust herself to
speak to Mona. Fortunately Eve had
no work to discuss with her.
Mona entered Barnes' office the
middle of the afternoon and did not
reappear for almost an hour. Ariene,
glancing up from her typewriter dur
ing Mona's absence, said, "I wonder
what Lorelei's game is. .She certainly
makes occasions to be alooe with hiB
highness!"
Eve said, "Don't be foolish, Ar
iene." Arleue answered flippantly, "Don't
be so gullible, Eve! That girl is no
saint,"
Marya, from her corner by the win
dow, merely looked up at them and
smiled. What Marya thought, no one
knew. ' i .
When Mona . returned to her desk
she did not glance at either of the
other girls. Her features were without
expression as she folded a 'few Bheets
of fresh copy paper, picked up a pen
cil and left the office.
"She's probably gone to gee George
Bliss on the pretense of asking what's
new in the rug department," com
mented Ariene. "Well, I've got plenty
of work to do myself and I must say
I can do it a lot better when Mona
is far, far away." Ariene began to
type rapidly.
Eve was tempted to tell Dick about
the luncheon with Theron Reece and
explain how it had come about but
she decided that to do so would be to
attach importance to the incident. It
did not occur te her to discuss her
venture on the stock -market with
Dick. In that matter she wished to
play a lone hand until she had achiev
ed results.
Hence she, encouraged him. to talk
about his work.
"I'll take you out to see the the
ater Sunday morning," he told her.
"It's going to be ready for the pub
lic in two weeks. Just now the audi
torium is being decorated and equip
ment Installed. There will be quite a
staff working Sunday because of the
time limit for the opening."
On Sunday morning, as h had
promised, Dick tucked Eve Into the
roadster and drove the short distance
to the new building. r
