I dont understand." 1 didnt understand at first, either!" he said bitterly. "Eut it's very simple. He laughed me out of his office. You and I worked and dreamed and cot the samples together and and after he kicked me out, he stole my idea!" "But he can't get away with that!" "Cant he?" Anthony asked hol lowly. "You see the men meas uring for carpet, don't you? I'm still section manager. Nothing else. "Miss Dane's been telling me what a wonderful merchandising idea it is, and how he explained it all to her at a special meeting last night. New accessories coun ters have been ordered. Plans are laid out but nobody said a word to me. I suppose I ought to be thankful he hasn't fired me!" The savage ar.ger she had ex perienced once before in this de partment came back to Beatrice. "Are you going to stand there and let him do it? If you are, An thony, I'm not! I worked on those ensembles, too! That's half my idea! That dirty, double-crossing" She hadn't known she knew such words, and Anthony hadn't known either, for he stared at her. The shock in his brown lace slopped her. "I'm sorry. I I have a bad temper. But, Anthony, you cant let him get away with this!" She stamped her foot "Do something! Co right up to his office now and tell him. Co to Bruce Sheldrake! Come on, I'm going, too." "I thought of that, but we can't prove anything." "Yes, we can! We bought those hats and handbags and belts our selves, didn't we? You signed the slips for those dresses out of stock, didn't you? What's the matter with you?" a ANTHONY picked up a sales book. He snapped the rubber band. He opened and closed the book. t At last he said, "The fact is, Bee, I'm realizing now what a bad mis take I made. I should have listened to the old man. He wanted me to take a Job in a bank. I I've been thinking I'll go around there at lunch time and tell him I've thrown up the sponge." His lips twisted. "Banks are more ethical than stores, per haps, and if I get a world-shaking banking idea . r" "But, Anthony you belong here! You're valuable to this store! The very fact that he thought your idea good enough to steal why, he must be slipping so badly he's got to steal ideas somewhere! If he were any good, if his job were secure, he wouldn't do such things!" She grabbed his arm. "You're not leaving, you're going right up with me to that crook's office!" "Bee, if we do that, youll lose your job. It's all right about me. As I told you, I I have a chance at something else." He looked down at her, miser ably. "I didn't want to use any influence I might have I mean, the influence of friends. . . . I've always thought pull was a shabby way to get ahead. But now that I have you, I I've got to make more money. And I'll do any thing to get a better job. But it'll take time. And meanwhile, if you lose your job " "The devil with my Job. An thony, come up there with me this minute!" She dragged him to the elevator. "I think you should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up for your rights! Where's your pride, Anthony? That merchandise man ager has stolen from you. And you'd take it! You'd walk out and let him get the credit for some thing you worked hard to create! The elevator operator turned around and stared. Beatrice paid no aiienuon. aaa QN the sixth floor, Anthony drew Beatrice into the corner near the fire exit His face was very sober. He put his hands on her shoulders, looked squarely into her eyes. "I don't want you to do this just for me, Bee," he said. "I'm all for it, and I'm mad clear through, and I can get another job anyway. But it'll make trouble for you. Are you sure you want to?" "Of course, I'm sure!" She patted his lean cheek. "Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. You'd better start wor rying about that merchandise manager. I'm going to kill him! "Bee, listen." His arms tight ened. "I'll go in by myself. That way, he can't blame you." "I wouldn't miss it for the world!" But she was touched at nthony's concern for her. He said, "All right, if that's the way you want it." His smile flashed. "I might as well tell you the truth. I was intending to come up here and wipe the floor up iwith him, Just for luck, even if J couldn't prove anything.. But.I didnt want you mixed up in it in any way." There was a stenographer out side the merchandise manager's office. "I dont know if Mr. Fletcher can see you now," she said doubtfully. "What is it about?" Beatrice walked right past her and opened the door. In the im posing office, a small paunchy man sat at a large desk. He looked up in surprise. When he saw An thony, his face hardened. a a "VfTHAT do you want?" be rapped. "I want an explanation of that co-ordinated clothes idea that was so rotten when I walked in here with it," Anthony answered grimly. "I want to know how it got so good, after I left, that you're going to try it out I want to know why you didnt play square with me. And I want to know if you think I'm going to let you get away with that!" "Why, you you " "Save your breath!" advised Beatrice coldly. "I happened to work out some of the details of that plan with Mr. Bradley. Those samples he brought up were things I'd selected. We have the sales slips for everything but the dresses." Mr. Fletcher got up. He walked out from behind the big desk. His eyes were steelly. "An employe of this store walked in here with an idea," he said. "He worked on it The store likes the idea and is using it What of it?" His voice was a bark. "What do you ex pect now? Flowers?" "But you took the credit for it!" Beatrice cried. "You didnt even see that he got a raise that his good work was acknowledged you can't stand there and tell me this is the way sucn uungs are usually handled." "Get out of my office!" Mr. Fletcher turned back to his desk. Maybe you d line 10 see me gen eral surrintendent about this terrible injustice,- ne nung over his shoulder. "That is exactly what we'll do." Beatrice reached for the tele phone. "What's more, we'll see him right here in this ofllce." (To Be Continued) Hula Honey OUT OUR WAY By J. R. WILLIAMS.
