Jtcvell auray from a dinner party
tcith her constn Jenny, Garth
Aveney, and Ryder Vale, but her
interest in her work keeps her
; from minding the interruption.

"No, Ed not hi office hours,

upon him, glorying In bis height
that, tall as she was, overtopped
her by some Inches. "1 wondered
it you'd be here tonight. I suppose

touched the finished typescript
"Daresay. My orders were Just

he yaps at me like that! Can't
think how you stick him."
"I don't let him get on my
mind." Sbe smiled her brilliant,
confident smile and Eddie Town-
send smiled back at her. They
understood each other well. Each
felt In the other a recklees courage,
an almost animal joy In effort and
success.
"You don't let anything get 01

'Well, do you?"
Only you and you're on It i

-that was, however, unavoidable.
She changed her brocade shoes for
dark leather and at the dressing
table wiped all make-up off her
face and passed a comb through
her hair. Then she swung out of
the room and entered the one next
to It.
This, as richly carpeted and cur-
talned aa the bedrooni, was one of

jthe transcriber, pulled a pair of
Mr-phones over her head, poised
Iher hands upon the keyboard of
laer typewriter and presently was
typing at great speed while the
cylinder, slowly turning on Its
roller, transmitted the taint voice
of Oratton Matching Into her ears.
Entirely concentrated, she
typed, paused, listened, typed
again. From the maddening Indis
tinctness of tbe record she knew
that the document she was typing
waa a highly confidential one. The
Old Man almost grunted Into his
dictaphone when the matter wss
secret. He knew that, In the end,
aha would be able to make It out
Even It she could only hear an
occasional snatch of words, her ex
perience of htm and his affairs, her
QMlck-wlttedness and that brilliant,
balf-telepathlo Intuition that rarely
tailed her, would manage the rest
Tlio task, though Immensely ex
acting, was not lengthy. In less
than half an-hour, she took oft the
tar-phones and re-read what she
had typed. Fixed Into the surfsre
of her desk was a bell, which she
rang; three short whirrs. Then
She got up and walked over to the
hearth.
The door opened and a young
brown giant of a man came In.
"Eddie!" she cried.

Sbe glanced at the house-telephone.
"I'll have to go the Instant ha

"I'll risk that . , , Georgia, the
Old man's transferring me to the
Mexican depot tor at least a year.
And I'm to go at the end of the
month."
"Ed!"
"You see what that means, girl?
We shan't see each other for tha
year, at least. It's not Mi eternity,
I'm not pretondlng that. All the
ame, It's to long for me to go on
wondering whether at the end of
It you'll be any more willing than
you are now to chuck your job and
marry me. To come straight out
with It will you marry ma la a
day or two so aa to hav a bit of
fun together before I leave? Or
shall I forget you?"
The golden tone of her skin
paled a little, her wide mouth was
trembling.
"Sure you con forget me?"
"No, of course I'm not sura. But
a fellow who's trying to forget a
girl will do a lot of things to help
him. And It you were to want to
whistle me back, well, I mightn't
be free to come. . . .
Sbe didn't resent bis atand-and-deliver
attitude she would have
done the some In his place; but
although she had so much In com
mon with htm, she was shrewder
than he and she had studied old
Mstchlng's methods . for three
years. Meet a bluff with a bluff. ,

"Why does he send to to Mex
ico?" ... .
Eddie shrugged.
"He did mention something
about a relation of his," he said
"Nephew, I think It was, who'd
been out there and Is going out
again. Wants to take a pilot and
onsorver out with him. Chap'g In
town now and I'm to meet him Is a
day or two. . . . nut that's neither
here nor there. What I want, girl,
is your yes or no. I can stand no to
It If it's no, but I won't wait for It
any longer."
