She hsd 4ctriui'iiru U lie angry, and to raise the roof when she visited the Kirk ofllces. Now, with the sun's rays streaming across her bed, she couldn't find a frown in herself. "What's the smart approach?" she asked herself, sitting up to greet the day. "I know. They'll naturally think I'm dumb. I'll just play dumb." She picked a well-tailored suit from her wardrobe. To it, she added her furs. Standing before the mirror, she practiced a few suitable facial expressions. She laughed at herself. Somehow, she felt overdressed. What a vast world of difference separated Penelope Kirk and Penny Kellogg, she reflected. The elevator lifted her swiftly to the 14th floor. A pleasant re ceptionist smiled a cheery "Good morning. May I help you?" From her repertoire. Penny se lected a bored look. She managed to tilt her nose a couple of notches. "Tell Mr. Stimson that Penelope Kirk is here to see him. And . please hurry," she said. The surprised receptionist jumped to her feet "Yes, Miss Kirk. Won't you please be seated?" She flew to Mr. Stim . son's office with the startling news. pENNY examined the elaborate and expensively decorated re ception room. Its rich carpeting and maroon-leathered easy chairs ' 'were luxurious. Mr. Stimson, perfectly groomed as befitted the supervisor of an : industry so vast as the Kirk steel enterprises, hurried down the corridor to greet Penny. "My, my, Miss Kirk," he panted, : out of breath as a result of his unusual exertion. "This is a most pleasant surprise. I had no idea you were anywhere near here. I ; thought you were in New York." "New York," Penny said, "is such a bore." "Yes. Yes. It is, isn't it?" he said. "Won't you come into my i office?" Deferentially, he led the jway. "You might give me a cigaret, old dear." Stimscn was obviously flattered by her intimate saluta jtion. He felt more at ease. He smiled as he offered her his cigaret icase. ! "Well, now that I am here, I 'suppose I should make the best of it" Then, reflectively, she said, "There is something you can do for me, if you will." "Just ask, Miss Kirk," he said, eagerly. "I'll be glad to do any thing I can." "My grandfather certainly had some unusual ideas about build ing a house. I want to make some changes. Could you recommend the best architect in town?" "Why, yes, Miss Kirk," said Stimson. "I'd recommend Johna ' than and Jones. They're the ar- chitects who designed my home. Shall I call them?" "No, thanks. I'll drop in .and see them. Just something to do, - you know." She rose from the ... chair that enveloped her. "Thank you so much. I really must be going. By the way, Mr. Stimson, please don't mention my visit to the newspapers or to anyone else. I'm here for a rest. I'll call you nffain." . TTE bowed low, regretted her ' refusal to have dinner with . him, and promised to care for her every whim. She knew he would breathe a sigh of relief the mo , mcnt the elevator door separated them. , Penny had learned what she wanted to know about the execu tives of the Kirk mills. Even this short visit revealed how little they knew or cared about Kirktown. f She found the offices of Johna- than and Jones, architects. The reception room was small and practical. The girl at the switch- . board doubled as a typist. Her , greeting was business-like, brief. Penny liked Charlie Jones the minute she saw him. He was in ' his shirt-sleeves, studying two sets of drawings offered to him by two young men. "Sit down. I'll be with you in a minute," he told Penny, without interrupting his study. He sug gested a change, asked a question, . and sent his assistants back to ' their desks. "Now,' he said, smiling pleas antly, "what can I do for you?" "I'd like to order a model vil lage," Penny said. Charlie Jones was struck dumb. . "What . . . what was that you said?" Penny laughed. "I just said I'd like to order a model village." Then she continued, eagerly. She introduced herself, assured him he wasn't dreaming, and outlined briefly her plan. From her purse she extracted a clipping. "Here's a story," she said, "about the model defense village of 300 homes built by an airplane plant ' to house its workers. The village : was built so swiftly that it was finished before people in the vi cinity knew what was happening. I want 500 houses, built the same way, on the plateau above the i present site of Kirktown." TffHEN he had sufficiently re , covered his senses, he caught '- and-enkirged--upon Penny's en : thuslasm. This, Charlie Jones as sured hef, had always been his ' createet aiublUuu in life, To clan. to build, to work out the details of Just such a project, was the Jones idea of heaven. They talked about comfortable, low-cost houses. They talked about pleasant, shady streets. They located stores' in a conveni ent shopping center. They found room for a swimming pool and playgrounds. They were playing an exciting game. "Only one tiling I must Insist upon," said Penny. "I want abso lute secrecy. Nobody is to know just what we're doing until it's all done. I want a good job. I waul it fast. I warn no puoiicity." Charlie Jones assured her he'd respect her wishes. His eyes were dancing for joy as he shook her hand. She hadn't been out of his office a minute before all his young assistants poured from their cubbyholes to crowd into his tiny work-room. She knew she had come to the right place and to the right man. A taxi took her to the bus stop. The slow-moving Kirktown "ex press" dropped her in front of the Courier office just as the whistle blew for the 4 o'clock turn. She skipped happily down the steps. "Hello Jim," she greeted cheer fully, sailing her straw hat ac curately toward a nail on the wall. "How's tricks?" "Hya, Penny," Jim smiled. Jim watched her admiringly as Penny swung easily into the rou tine of her work. He wanted to ell her how much he had missed her, even for a few hours how much he needed her. Instead "By the way, Penny. I almost forgot," he said. "You start on your story assignment at the Kirk mills tomorrow. Everything's ar ranged, provided you promise to be good." "I'll be good," she answered. "Good and scared. Heaven help the poor working girl alone in a steel mill with 3000 men." (To Be Continued ) HOLD EVERYTHING!
