Mildred, at twenty, had received her tirat thrill. It was. unfortunately, a aecond hau l romance, and an old. fa­ miliar story. Hut to Mildred, experi­ encing for the llrst time the powers of her feminine beauty, it was a highly perfumed, intoxicating romance. For Instance, the night before, when all the other members of her family fanned and fussed on the little screen,al In i»>r,h. Mildred, lying In the dark upou a humpy mattress In her cramped l>edroom, had brought forth in such d ear detail every little bit of her romance that the ugly room and even the Intense heat had faded into oblivion. The Ann of brokers for which Mil­ dred worked consisted o f a senior partner and a Junior partner. The senior i«artner was gray, grave and aloof. The Junior partner was dark, charming, considerate, appreciative of a nice bit of work—and friendly. So friendly that the day before, when Mildred had taken in some letters to be signed, he had expressed dismay that a rush of business made It neces­ sary for the girls to work during the hot afternoon. Couldn't he drive Mil­ dred down to one of the beaches that evening to cool off? Mildred had stammered a polite refusal. The next evening, then— he Insisted—and Mil­ dred had agreed. The little kink that made It a sec­ ond-hand romance was the fact that the junior partner was married. Two horridly persistent voices ar­ gue,! rapidly Inside Mildred's head while the car Jangled along to the subway. “His family has been at the beach for weeks, and he’s lonely." pleaded the first voice. "Yah," Jeered the second voice. “I bet he'll tell hts wife all about i t too." "Oh. what's the harm In a ride?" asked the first voice. “And what's the harm in a kiss?” derided the second. ‘'Remember, be tried t<> kiss the switchboard operator and she slapped his face." Tlie first voice became stubborn. “Maybe she lied. Anyway, I'm going." Acroas the car. a commuter was ab­ sorbed in the last page of his morning Post. The front page sprawled Its In­ viting headlines toward Mildred. She read them rapidly; then her gaxe moved upward to the Dally Quotation a t the top of the page, a feature of the paper for some time past.

She had privately detertnlned never to rend another one. “The Junior partner was In an acci­ dent last night. Had the switchboard operator out with him." Mildred paled. “Not—killed r “No. Rut they're both In the hos­ pital. W oof! Any girl who would take a chance going out with a mar­ ried man ought to get spilled."
