Bold Jolin HroitKh curil.v Jill Boston bent over hor short liniul pail, and the pem-il flew. It was jntst such a latter as John BrouRh, chief of Iho Galloons Steel Works, might ho expeeoted to dictate. It was brief, crisp und merciless. Shi' .;ad written many liko It. ". . . with yonr difficultios, wo tiro not concerned. You will fulfill your bargain on-the- date, or be pre pared to meet the consequences. "JOHX FROl'dl. LTD." "Next:" snapped Mr. Brousth. flapping down the letter. Jill waited, but there was an ap preciable pause. She was not used to pauses in the office. She looked up at last, rather timidly, aud to her Mirprlsc found Mr. Brough staring at Iter intently. Ha Scanned Jill's face, the wave of bright sunny hair over her ears, the delicate curve of her neck, tfie while, efficient band on the writing pail. Why do they make 'em like this?'' thought John Brough. "Bet ter fire her." He blinked slightly. "And yet she's the best stenograph er 1 ever had. It was the first time Jill was con scious that Mr. Brough had ever, renllv looked at her. She felt alarmed. She got a new impression of the rugged face, the mouth like a r.it trap, and the eves like two facets of iktiI blue quart.. She hated her job. yet she did not par ticularly dislike Mr. John Brough. Often she felt sorry for him. He tossed the letter aside. satisfied with you. Tomorrow is Saturday and you won't be wanted. liPt a good rest over the week end. Start again Monday." "But 1 " "tM out!" growled John Brunt h. And Jill fled. Mr. Brougb sat back in bis chair Jill .fathered up her papers and moved to the door. "Slop!" said Brough. Jill halted. Bar employer'., eyes traveled over her again: she felt like a horse that is being inspected by a dealer. He looked at her neat but plain costume, and studied her face again. "You are looking rather white and tired. Miss Seaton." said he. "Aren't you feeling well?" Jill's astonishment Increased. She had a headache, and was feeling washed out generally, hut she would as soon have expected the Tower bridge to take any notice of thnt as Mr. Brough. "It's nothing! feel all right." she said hastily. "I hope my work " "Your work's all right. But you look dead beat." retorted Mr. Brough. "See here. Finish these letters and seuil them tip. Then yon can go for the day. Don't be scared, I'm quite THE WORLD OFFERS YOU A HOME and there is no more de sirable place for that home than in Bend. WE OFFER YOU A LOT on which to build that home Terms if vou want them THE BEND COMPANY Wall and Franklin Phone Handiiny High Clax?

He reflected a moment and reached for the desk telephone. "Send up Mr. Tathnra!" he said curtly, and bung up the receiver ' with a snap. John Brough crossed his legs and selected a cigar from the box beside ' ultu. He did not light it, but clenched it between bis teeth, pro jecting it from the angle of his rat trap mouth. It looked less like I cigar than u weapon of offense, and his expression was forbidding. The door opened abruptly und Tat ham Brough entered the room. He fame u few steps forward, hesitated, and halted. And John Brough. dis daining to break the silenre, in spected his anly son. Tutham Brough was 22, and looked older. He was big built and stood over six feet; he was smartly and somewhat foppishly dressed, but be had the size to carry It off: his 'clothes did not In the least suggest I the business man. He was undeniably good looking, the sort of good looks that are a physical challenge, slightly marred by a sensual mouth very unlike his father's and a suspicion of heaviness about the Jowl. His manner was 'overbearing and there was a sug- 'gestion of the bully in his wide set brown eyes. But he met tho gaze of his father, and looked uneusiiy at the door. "Here I am, sir," he said, "ready for orders. I don't know whether you think it's good for the discipline of this office." he added sullenly, "to keep me kicking my heels In the waiting room for half an hour, like a clerk out of a Job. before you let ' me come up: "A clerk out of a Job, Tatham." said his father, "is a 75 per cent bet ter thing than you are at this mo ment." He leaned forward. "You have been homo a month. 1 have been watching you. Tatham. to see whether thnt year in the Ar gentine has made a man of you!" he said In a voice like a rasp. "If you think you're going to walk Into my business and my money on the nod, you've got another guess com ing. Now I'm going to give you your chance here, and by Jupiter, it's the last chance you'll get!" Tathutu qUBllod visibly. Ilomml. switch, 'd his cigar from one end of his DtOtttta to the other with a sin gle movement of bin Juw and re garded Ills sou fixedly. "Harrow aud t'atnlirldgc!" re- flecled John Brough aloud. "They are good for some men- they do no '.ood to your sort. 1 was a fool not to send VQU to the .National school and start yo in a lentil. startid myself. Perhaps 1 was , to Ma mo." He leaned forward. "Tatham. when you were here last you showed the rotten streak in you. ; You played the fool. You got your self mixed up with a girl out of a clothes factory. 1 know mighty little .about her. but I'll do her the justice to say, blindfolded, I tact she was probably loo good for you," u, ; via ml at Tathani. "Now, ba.YS you Tatham flushed. "No!" ho suld, raising bis voice. "I haven't seen her. 1 tell you, sir, I could barely remetnher what her name is. The last thin- on earth I want is to seo her, or in hear air -thing about her! I'm out for work and business; I'm here to take or ders. I'm ready to strip my coat and sail In!" tTo he continued! R.
