CHAPTER X
MATTERS wrt smoothed ever
tor tha tiro bat the Bight of
Dirk Is a flannel shirt at tha Alo
mar table though It m led! com
noil after Era's outburst con
tinued to Irritate bar and she could
not always conceal this Irritation.
One she found herself, to her dis
gust, comsarlnt Dick's appearance
with Theron Reese's careful groom-
hi apKe of Ms shabby setting la
fa down-t-fcael house. Era could
mot help hot feel pride In her home.
Often sbs found herself dreaming
boot Improvements that could be
miade In ways to rearrange the
eralrore, am added touch of color
mar and then when going
tea iiemh tha store's rarloos depart
maana at aeaieh at Mesa tor her
late h Ba saVa-uuuu she some-
1 became merroas and worried
ot do her best work
aba was almost eertaia
she woard be asked to remain after
tha store's closing hoar to help get
oat the meat day's copy..
Mb, Btxby dM Bet know ot this,
aha wee sura. Prompt and efficient
himself, mo tried to exact prompt
mass and efficiency from his depart
tent heads, and, through them,
reca erery employe.
Bat Its, Bliby interfered very
BtUe with Barnes' management et
the ayraertletni department la the
mrst months daring which Barnes
had worked tor him, Mr. Bixby had
othpn triad to restrain tha younger
aaaaw eathnaiasms and had re
quired mnch persoaslon to Increase
toe adTertlaing budget to the
, amount Barnes asked. Sradually,
howerer, as Barnes produced re
seats to Justify the increased ex
penditure, ho was allowed to pro
ceed without Interference.
Nevertheless Mr. Blxby was op
posed to OTertlmo work except on
rare neraslons when it could mot
bo avoided. There were such
times. Etc knew. The days and
evenings preceding the semi-annual
remnant-day sales were examples.
Then. Era thought, the great de
partment store resembled nothing
so much as a madhouse. And now
that tha rash ot Christmas selling
was on and the volume of adver
tising increased accordingly, there
was seldom an evening that Eve
arrived noma on time.
CHS regretted this. She felt that
It was mot fair to expect Dick
ta prepare the dinner every eve
mkag, as had become the usual rou
tine. His Job had its delays and
vexations, too.
He worked bard. He worked la
aa kinds of weather. Eve was be
ginning to understand that some
times he came home mora ex
hausted than-the men whose man
ual labor be directed. She was
beginning to understand that Dick
would always give more than was
required or expected of him to
any contract to which he bound
himself.
Bhe was thinking ot this one
December evening after a gray,
slushy day gave way to darkness
outside the office windows and she
typed away, turning the little
sheaf ot penciled notes with par
donable pride. She was wishing
that this once she could arrive
home before Dick and surprise
him with a delicious dinner, pip
ing hot. But of course she could
not. Not tonight.
Arlene had had to stay over
time, too, and was transcribing
pages of notes that Barnes had
dictated late that afternoon. Ar
lene did not seem to mind par
ticularly. Indeed, Eva suspected
that Arlene welcomed this extra
work, although she received no
remuneration for it.
Eva wondered if Arlene were
Interested in some man In the
store. "It's strange," she thought,
"how most men overlook a girl
of Arlspe's straightforwardness
and toon let themselves become
ensnared by some one like Mona
Allen."
Today, busy as tha advertising
office had been, Mona had come
in late after lunch, her bloud
balr elaborately waved. And that
afternoon, on pretense ot secur
ing notes tor advertising copy.
sha bad taken time to select a
new frock which it was quite evi
dent was to be worn for the first
time that evening to dazzle some
admirer.
Just a few moments before the
closing gong sounded, Barnes
asked Mona If shs could stay a
little later and help that evening.
Mona smiled sweetly and an
swered: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Barnes, but
I have a dinner engagement.
There's no wsy I could let my
friend know at this late hour, so
of course I will li.ive to keep It.
At any other time I'd be only too
glad to stay snd help you."
And she left with a triumphant
glance over her shoulder at the
other two girls.
".We're snowed andar wjth
work and sue gets away with
that I" commented Arlene to Eve
when Mona had gone and Barnes,
returned to hla office.
aaa
IT was eight o'clock before Eva
and Arlene finished the copy,
attached the necessary sketches
and cuts and placed them In their
separate envelopes, one for each
ot tha Lake City newspapers. As
a last straw to tha burden ot a
weary day, Barnes ssVed them It
they'd mind taking the copy to
the newspaper offices on their
way to the car. Usually he did
this himself when tha copy was
lata.
A light snow was falling when
they left the store. Crowds were
iwsrmlng about the brilliantly
lighted theaters. Underfoot it
was slushy as the two girls
trudged from one newspaper office
to another.
"Of course, wa could sara a
few minutes by separating these
things and delivering them alone,
but in my present miserable stste
I feel tha need ot your stimulat
ing companionship," Arlene aaid
with a feeble grin.
Eve, tired and hungry, was
tempted to agree to Arlene's sug
gestion that they eat downtown.
But aha thought of Dick, wait
ing at home for her. After the
copy was ssfely delivered she hur
ried to the nearest corner where
shs could get a ear on the trolley
line that ran past her home. She
had to wait and tonight the ride
seemed interminable. Era felt
weak long before sha reached
home. She should have taken at
least a malted milk before work
ing so late, sha thought. It was
a quarter to nine before she
reached home. Aa sha wearily
climbed the front porch steps, shs
washed anew tor an apartment in
a modern building with eleva
tors. However, aha felt a warm little
rush ot thankfulness tor her home
Just aa it was when shs saw the
narrow ellt ot light under the
door. Dick would be waiting for
her. And be would have some
thing hot and savory for her to
eat. She hoped it would be
chicken noodle soup.
But the door was locked. That
meant Dick was not there. Prob
ably be had just gone down to the
corner to get a magazine or a
fresh supply ot tobacco. Eve
hunted for her key and unlocked
the door.
see
rpHB room was in order. One
-s. lamp burned dimly in the liv
ing room. She turned the switch
that lighted the combination
kitchen and dining room and saw
that the table was set with one
place. There was a note beside
IL It read:
"Eve, dearest:
"You'll find your dinner la
tha oven. Only take a few
minutes to warm it up.
Sorry I couldn't wait and eat
with you. Decided to go to
- meeting again. Don't wait
np for me, I may be late.
Love, .
Dick."
Eve wanted to cry. How could
he go away and leave her to
.spend this dreadful evening
alone? Reason, reminded her
that he had had to spend the
early part of the evening alone.
But she couldn't help that.. She
had wanted to come home early.
Dlspl- ltedly she warmed over the
food Dick had prepared for her
a chop and some stewed corn.
There was a plain cabbage salad
that had grown wilted and dis
colored with waiting. There was
a diah of canned peaches for des
sert. They had had canned
peaches tor dinner the night be
fore. And because she had for
gotten to order fresh fruit they
had had canned peaches for
breakfast, too.
As Eve ate shs became resent
ful, suspicious. Dick's going out
that evening had not been a sud
den decision. The hastily pre
pared meal proved that This was
Tuesday and it was on Tuesday
evening that he had been away
last week. He had said very
little to her about that absence.
In fact he had avoided the sub
ject when she had questioned him
casually the following day. Laugh
ingly, it is trne, putting her off
with the excuse that fraternal
matters were secret and not to be
discussed outside the lodge even
with one's lovely and charming
new wife.
Eve had just finished clearing
the table and stacking the dishes
at the sink when there was a
knock at the door. She was
startled for a moment Shs tried
to convince herself that she
should not be nervous, yet she
stood very still, half fearing to go
to the door.

now in manufacture, has a 200-
Inch reflector, which weighs 20
tons. The new telescope will be
