HINGING OUT Ol‘ DOORS

I hear the voicq 0f girls and boys Singing together. A Joyful noise Comes floating over The cherry trees, Sweeter than mum: Of honey bees; Sweeter than carols Of birds at dawn; lfi-esher than dewdzop. Upon the lawn; Along the stream: Clearer than ripples Lovely as rainbows. Bright as a dream, I hear young voices, flappy and high. Fllnging their gladness ' mm the sky. _ --Margaret Ashmfi-

CHAPTER. 28

The hour of six-thirty usually found The Iron Block deserted save for its caretakers.

Tonight, a. few workers lingered here and there about the offices. Among them was Jean Sawyer, put- ting some final touches to a display ad, which must be ready for the paper by morning. Deeply engrossed in her task, she looked up with a start when her door opened, closed softly, ‘

A young man stood regarding her. He smiled.

"I beg Mam'selle's pardon."

"Oh . . . Were you looking for someone?"

"Only Mamselle. If I may have a moment of her time." l-le came near- er to Jan's table. "May I hope that I'm not unknown to Mamkelle?"

“Why, I think I know you . . . . I've seen you driving Miss Cannons car."

“I was in Mam'sell‘; Cannons ser- vice. Unfortunately, I am free. After tomorrow. That is why I am here."

There was in Delclerck's manner and smile a franknes, which ban- ished an alarm that Jean might have felt. She laughed, in spite of herself. ,

“You didn't think I needed a chauffeur, did you, Mr. . . ."

“Henri Deicierck is my name. But no, Maybelle. I had not hoped for such good fortune." He helped him- sclf to a chair. "I watched for Mam'- selle to appear down at the door. Then I come up here . . . I am for- tunate."

“Why did you wish to speak to me?" Jean suddenly felt apprehen- sive.

"I have something to tell you. for your ear alone." There was a sud- den tenseness in his voice. Henri abandoned his hesitatlng manner of speaking. It. wu th same lapse that .had caused Sturges to speculate when he first met the man. Jean. however, did not notice. Henrik; next words startled her too greatly.

"Miss Cannon has announced to me she will marry soon. Your friend, M’sieur Sturgés, is the happy man.” _

"I’m sorry. Mr. Delclerck. will have to excuse me. bpsy."

"You need have no fear of Henri," he assured her earnestly. "I think wl-tiat I have to say will be of inter-

es .

"I think not."

"But Yes! My boss is to marry you boss. That should make us the good friends. Non?‘

“Please . . ."

“You may trust Henri. He is very discreet . . . always."

Jean scarcely heard. Edythe’; an. nouncement was the only thing she could comprehend at the moment. 3°55"!!! to one of her servants. Then it was true.

"It is of deep concern to me, a; I shall confide to Mamkelle _ ,"

“I won’t listen to you any longer, Mr. Delclerck!"

"Not even when I let you know that Miss Cannon once did me the honor of . . . giving her heart to me? It is so. I swear it. We have arrange to . . . what, you call it? The elope? But now . . ." He shrug. ged expresslvely. "Henri is given the air. Bhe decide she prefer M’sieur Sturges. Like that." He blew some inaginary object from the palm of his hand.

"Built ’ . . But why are you will“; me‘! Jean stammered.

‘Why not? I feel Mamlselle will sympathize."

"You-mean . . ."

Mamtsellc feel. I know how poor Henri feel when . . . You under- stand. It pains the heart." '

"Will you please go away?" Jean entreated. She could not maintain her composure much longer.

"Bien," Henri remarked resigned- ly. "I leave you . . . the same as I leave a city where I am happy once. I see I am mistaken about ,Mam'selle It is possible M’sieur Sturges will be more grieved at Hand's misfortune. I regret if I have intruded"

“Wait! You mean . . . You mean you're going to tell Mr. Sturges that? What you just told me about . . . Mis Cannon?”

"Assuredly." Henri touched the tip of his waxed mustache. "I have thought a plan. I leave the city very early tomorrow. Happily, I have saved Mam'selle Carmen's letters to console my spirits when I am so far from her side." He tapped his pocket. "I carry the most loving clips to my heart, you see. Ver’ ten- der little letters. One of them I shall spare to M’sieur Sturges. I am leaving it in his office where he will find it."

"Oh!" Jean was aghast as the plan dawned upon her.

“It may amuse him . . . non?" Henri showed his white teeth in a smile. “I am waiting tonight t1) drive M’sieur Cannon home. He will be late. Perhaps I shall give the let- ter to him to deliver to our friend. That would be good comedy] But . . No, I do not trust him."

“You wouldn't dare!" Jean burst cut. Her own feelings were swallow- ed up by righteous anger. "That would be beastly! What good can it ever do you?" Deep scorn was in lier voice.

"He will read. After that . . . who can say? No doubt he will return the little letter to Mam'selle Cannon. She will be so glad. She beg me for Ell ‘of,’ them. But Henrfs price is too

“Don't do lti" Jean entreated. "Please don't!" _

“Non? I thought Mam‘seile would approve." Delclerck seemed genuine- ly puzzled.

"No. no. Can't you see how ter- ribly it will hurt . . . both of them? They are happy now, and . . ."

“What of Henri? l-le is nurt. Mam'selle Cannon tell him they will go away together. For always. Then . . . Poufi M’sieur Sturges shall have his letter at least.” ,

"You're a. coward!" Jean ex- claimed hotly. "You we! That's blackmail . . ." She wofidered if it were. But it sounded right. "You don't realize what you're doing," she hurried on. “If you must say some- thing, go and tell him. Like a man. Not that wayi"

“And Mam'sell is a. . . . But non. She is too charming to say that. Perhaps she thinks I deceive her? Look." Henri drew several letters from his pocket. “This one is not so tender possibly, but Mamlselle can read it. She may have it for a souvenir."

Jean shrank back instinctively as Delcierck offered her a pale blue en- velope. Shesaw one word on it. “Henri? A woman's writing. Angu- lar and bold.

"No! I don't want to read it!"

Almost the instant she made that declaration, Jean had a sudden thought. She held out her hand.

"Give them all to me," she beg- ged. “You'll in so glad when you've had time to think it over. I'll keep them safe. l promis. ‘Bu, Ngbody shall ever see them. _’.aseI"

Delclerck roes to his feet. He made a formal bow as he thrust the letters into his pocket.

“And now, it is Mam'selle who would make a fool of Henri. Au revoir."

l-le turned and walked quickly from the studio.

Jean relaxed weakly in her cnair, her mind in a whirl. A thousand thoughts raced through her brain.

If you roll along a ‘ t ‘.e r. egg that has been boiled hard and put your finger on it, it stops If, on the other hand, you do the same with an egg that has not been boiled it will go on. the inside .s still revolving and carries the shell with it."

When he asked his cook whether she could tell the dif- ferenc. she replied that she could always tell by the weight.

Sir William said that at first he was slightly puzzled. but he found that it was really just an example of the differences of language. What the cook called eight he called inertia.

.“The cook was quitc right," he added, amid laughter.
