CHAPTER XXVIII
YHAT ara you golnf to do,
Bee?" Anthony asked oddly,
reaching for the telephone. "You
can't call Sheldrake! He wouldn't
come!"
. "Oh, yea, he will! 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.

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?" .
