About a week after this episode
Bowman was surprised one morning
upon looking over toward the stenog
raphers' corner to discover that Mloa
Klnley'a chair waa vacant He was
even more surprised at the queer,
sinking sensation that took possession
if him when he real I red that ahe won
not there. Hla first Impulse waa to
go over And ask where she was, but
a sudden fit of ebyness setxed him and
ho decided not to. This cnade him
uncomfortable, for ahysess and vacil
lation were entirely new emotions to
him. He dragged down one of hla
helot ed ledgers And began writing ia
it Instead of figure, he seemed to
seo a little pointed face In a raUt of
soft balr.
At lost he stuck hli pen behind his
ear and gave himself up deliberately
to reflection. After some minute of
unproductive mental labor over the
problem In hand he turned to the head
bookkeeper.
"Here," he sold abruptly, "how does
a fellow feel when he'a tn lover
The head bookkeeper looked at him
scornfully. "Come odl" he ejaculated.
"Go on and tell me," urged Bow
man. "I'm tn earnest I want to
know."
The head bookkeeper looked at htm
disgustedly over his glasaea. "For aa
everlasting, all-round Idiot," he aald,
you certainly are the limit Sboa
got you going, has she?"
Bowman said nothing more, but
from his knlttod brows and general
air of unrest one cnlght have gathered
that he waa still studying bis own
emotions.
The next morning he waa eagerly
watching the door when MUs Flnley,
looking a little pale from her Illness,
came tn. Without a moment's hesita
tion he went over to where she wa
standing. Neither of the other glrla
hAd arrived.
"Mtsa Flnley," he aald. "I cam over
to tell you something. I Just found

you." He stood back and retarded her

She gave a little nervous laugh.
"Who told you!" she gasped.
"I found It out myself," he sold
triumphantly.
"I didn't think I could do It," ahe
said soberly. I told the gtrli I was
going to try Just for fun, but I didn't
think I could. I told them the other
day that I gave It up. I thought
