MR. 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.
To a ahouldrr already wlrtV) to
gether he has added two broken ribs,
a collection of brulaea and wrenched
leg. The ahoulder was Injured tn a
fall from a born and likewise the
rib.
Attempting to leap from hit fa
mous hone, Tony, down a five-foot
embankment In a running ftfciifc with
Tllllana, tha motion picture ktnd, the
horse stumbled and fell on Mix near
Lone Pine, Calif.
Phynlcioiw said Mix would be back
In the sfidflle by the middle of the
week to complete his stirring cowboy
exploit for tha screen. The accident
. uued someone on the spot a
utact man. If he's young, he won't
vera too Important. At the same
.line he must have Judgment a
'rite bead on young shoulders."
itu91!ng bis eyebrows, be peered
across the desk. "I've chosen you."
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. After
having roused his hopes, would she
punish hlra by not appearing?
