Take your band off the phone." "But Bee, wait a minute" "Whafj the matter with you?" : Anthony said evenly, "I'd rather you wouldn't" "I bet you'd rather!" Mr. Fletcher sneered. "Let her to ahead. Let her call him. Do you think she'd even fet to talk to him? His secretary'! not that dumb." Beatrice whirled on him. Sud denly all the arrogance of the days before she became Bee Davis was In her small face, in the lines of her body, in the way her voice cut levelly through the stillness. "We've had quite enough from you, Mr. Fletcher. You are not only a thief, and a despicable coward who lives by picking the brains of helpless employes who work under you, but you are also an insufferable bore. I dislike being In the same room with you!" She took Anthony's arm. "Come, well go to Mr. Sheldrake's office ourselves. I can't bear this person another moment" Mr. Fletcher's mouth bung open. Anthony was looking at her in complete bewilderment But he walked out 'with her, obediently, aaa JN the hall, he said admiringly, "Whewl You certainly laid it en the line that time." Then he aid, slowly. "But we cant go to Sheldrake's office, of course." "Why cant wet" She was boil ing mad. "If you think Fletcher can bide behind Sheldrake, if you think rm going to let anyone in this store intimidate me" "No, no, that's not It at alll" A leurlous embarrassment crossed his face. "It's Just that rd rather not isee Sheldrake." !- "Why not? Yon saw Fletcher. jYou cant give up now." J "Yes, but but ..." Bis eyes (avoided hers. ', "Anthony. Bradley, are you lafraid of the general superin-(tendentT- I "No. rm not afraid. But" Ills lhands balled up into fists, "I'm not afraid, Bee. But dam It, the man knows me!" "Knows you? What do you mean?" Anthony looked at the floor. Slow, painful red rose about his collar. He raked his strong fin igers through his dark hair. "He ihe knows me, that's all. He knows my connections and and " "What connections? What are you getting at? Do you mean you knew his son or something like that at school and now you're ashamed for him to find out you've been working here as sec tion manager?" Anthony gulped. "Well, no. Not exactly. The fact is, I I met him several times in the office of the old man. And he might think well" "You mean you met him in the office of the old man who helped you through school? Your guard ian?" "Yes." "But what has that to do with this?" She pulled at his sleeve. "Are you coming with me, or aren't you?" "Bee, I can't It would it might reflect on my guardian." "Reflect on your guardian? Are you out of your mind?" She thought she understood, a moment later. She asked slowly, "Does your guardian do business with this store? Is that it? You're afraid a quarrel with Sheldrake might result in lost sales?" An thony had once said he might have pulled strings to manage a (promotion here, she remembered. "That's what you meant when you said you hated pull? Your guard Ian could have spoken to Mr. Sheldrake. You didn't want him to?" "In a way," Anthony admitted 'uncomfortably. aaa 'THERE was a sound behind 1 them. They turned to see Mr. 'Fletcher, brick red, running after them and shouting. "I called Mr. Sheldrake myself!" he cried. "He's coming right down. You can't get away with this Impudent insub ordination, either of you. Now you two corns back into my office and see Sheldrake, if that's what you were so hell bent on." He rubbed his hands together. "A nice state of affairs when a salesgirl from the basement can barge into my office and Insult me! ni show you." Behind Mr. Fletcher, his secre tary stared with round, almost frijhtcned eyes. Doors all along COaVHISHT. 1(41. nia Slavics, INC. the corridor the doors of depart ment managers and head buyers and merchandise men were flung open. Beatrice saw Anthony'a chin come up. He straightened his shoulders, took a long, deep breath. The muscles at his Jaw bunched. But his hand on her arm was steady. For the first time since Anthony told her about Mr. Fletcher's hav ing stolen his idea, she remem bered that Anthony didn't know who she really was. She could squelch both Fletcher and Shel drake. She could blow the whole shabby mess wide open. But what would it do to Anthony? It was too late to back down. She walked back into Mr. Fletch er's office beside Anthony with a blank face and high-held head. Carefully, and pointedly, she avoided any stray contact with the person of the paunchy, prema turely triumphant Mr. Fletcher. Anthony drew up a chair for her. He sat down beside her. Mr. Fletcher scrambled around his big desk and stood there behind its protections, breathing hard. A MOMENT later someone roared angrily outside. A tall, burly man in a dark business suit burst into the room. "What's the meaning of this rumpus, Fletcher?" he demanded peremptorily. "Have you lost your mind? Can't you handle anything by yourself? Must I be annoyed for every blasted trifle?" He surveyed the two young people sitting against the wall. "Now what the devil is all this?" Then his expression changed. He seemed to be puffing up in a vast and sullen fury. His collar was too tight for his neck. A vein In his forehesd bulged. "Oh, to it's you, 1 It? You whelp! So old man Weemlng has been spying on me!" "Weemlng?" Beatrice bounced to her feet. "Did ru say Weem lng, Mr. Sheldrake? What con nection has Mr. Weemlng with Mr, Bradley?" .
