CLEASBY SPEAKS CUTTING ahort bis vacation, Clive returned to the Arm of Cross and Clcasby, financial ex perts, by whom tii was employed. Ha had a knack ol Impressing older men. The respect he paid their achievement combined with his frank good looks had a lot to do with It. Mr. Cleasby, the senior partner and a confirmed bachelor, bad taken a fancy to him. As a eonsequenoe his promotion had been rapid. His present job was to analyze reports with a view to pros pectsVor investment. On entering his bleakly orderly office bis first sensation was one of relief from emotion. On the other side of the partition he could hear the boat of typewriters, op- "Back earlyl It's Ilka your keenness," Mr. Cleasby greeted him. rated by bleakly orderly girl-see-fetarles the nuns of commerce. Rot a bint ot s'ez. This was sanity. Seating himself at his desk, he lunged Into a mass of figures. Fig ures were facta. They couldn't iretend one thing, while they meant mother. If they tried, you soon ixposed them. With girls It wss llfferent A patch of laughing sky sued In on him. Clive probed deeper In his anx iety to defend Santa. She had seen through him. In his greed to poe tess ber, he hadn't given a thought k,how be could provide tor ber. Ber descrlpton of love in a cottage was true; a poky apartment, messy Deals, herself listless and shabby. That being the case, a girl who ixerclsed shrewdness was to be ad Hired. Tbs more she experimented snd flirted, the more suitors she tcqulred. By the number of ber inltora her desirability waa esti mated. Marriage tor her was a bar lain In which the only element worth considering was personal ad vantage. To brand her as merce nary was childish. Who wouldn't be mercenary If the bestowing ot herself was the solitary opportu nity she would ever hare to earn a , profit? A tap at the door disturbed bis reverie. A messenger announced that Mr. Cleasby requested bis pres ence. What nextt Dismissal? Misfor tunes rarely come singly. "Bsck ahead of time! It's like four keenness," Mr. Cleasby greet ed him. "Take a chair. I've been wanting to consult you. Was on the point of wiring you to roturn In fact. But bofore we start business what sort ot a time have you had?" Had Clive apoken the truth be would have said, "Hellish." What was the old boy's game? He stated briefly that the golf-course close to which he'd been staying waa fine, and waited to be told that his work had been unsatisfactory. A pause. Mr. Cleasby roached for pen and began to draw dotted lines on the blotting pad. "Things are looking up In Eu rope," he spoke thoughtfully. "New Industries are starting, old ones are reviving. We hear about them too late to get In on the ground-floor. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 34-AP Tom Mix hna a few mora ouventra of movie itunt riding.

Clive was stunned. A wise bead on young shoulders! It was a Joke. A chit ot a girl, fresh from the nursery, had outwitted aim aid here was this leader ot men assur ing him that be bad Judgment. "I don't speak languages," he hesitated. Mr, Cleasby chuckled. "Foreigners will speak your lan guage when they think they ean sell you something. I foresee only one obstacle; you may have formed a sentimental attachment" "Nothing of that sort," Clive coun tered. "I'm ready to sail tomorrow." They discussed details and mapped bis route. Vienna, being central, would make bis best Initial headquarters. Meanwhile, he must obtain a passport, etc, and secure bookings. As Clive was 'leaving, the twin kling eyes followed him. "No sentimental attachments! If you haven't, ril wager the girls have." Clive maintained this firm attitude till the morning of the day he was to sail; then be weakened. He awoke thinking ot Santa. While he dressed he thought furiously.. Hit craving for her Increased during breakfast, Every tenderness aha bad ever lavished stuck to him Ilka troacle. And now he was going out of ber life Into a world of which every detail would be unfamiliar like dying. On bis way to the office he slipped Into telephone-booth. She wasn't uphad boon out late the prerloua nlgtt. Was there any message? Only that Clive Doncaster had called her. He waited Impatiently until noon; then tried again. She was engaged. Would he give his number? He divined her tactics she was making herself precious. The third time he didn't mince matters.' It wasn't necessary to fetch Miss Dawn. He only wished to leave word that he had been appointed to a position In Europe and was sailing at midnight. That brought ber. "Clive darling, tonightl Why have you kept this secret from me?" 'Didn't think you would be In terested." "Not true. You're making mo ter ribly unhappy." 1 "You'll get over It" "I shan't ever." " "Do you want to see me?" "You're cruel.". The old passion he bad suppressed came flooding back. "Listen, Santa. I've been a fool. Didn't bellovs 1 cut any Ice. I'm dining with Cleasby. Dated np to almost the last moment Our one chance Is at the pier." He men tioned. the ship and the number ot his cabin. "I'll be waiting at the head of the gang-plank." "Well, If that's all the time you can spare me!" She hung up. What was be to Imply? That a farewell In publlo wasn't worth the effort? His dinner with Mr. Clcasby was dull. He escaped as soon as seemed polite. Having ordered his luggage to his cabin, he planted himself beside tbe gsng-plsnk. He was -early.
