Lakes-Sydney and rink ' ‘i’? Hollies. automobile rates apply CHAPTEBJ. Mark Bturgee. the new general manager at Cannons, paused in a moaning stroll through the fourth about the dress department. He was not a large man, but his shoulders were muscular and he held them well back. His hands were thrust aggresslvley into the side pockets of his well tailored fian- nel coat. His keen blue eyes travel- ed about swiftly absorbing the de- tails of the big room. Its great win- dows of plate glass across the front, the deep piled carpet of restful gxoen ranks of mahogany cases with rain- bow-hued contents, easy chairs scat- tered about, floor lamps contributing subdued touches of color. "Best looking spot in the place." Sturges decided with an approving Jerk of his smooth dark head. "Stewart's afllicted with ideas. Hello . . . ." He smiled. “Life class in session." The amused remark was caused by thedlscovery of a girl seated on the stool near one of the large pil- lars where the light from a window fell directly upon her. She held a small drawing-board in tho hollow of her left arm and was sketching a. the fiat ure of a moderiilstic wooden female posing nearby. Sturges strolled in the direction o1 the artist. who was so deeply absorb- ed in her task that she did not sense his presence when he halted almost at her side. The girl herself was rather a pic- ture, Mark thought. Her thick red- He approved the way it revealed the shape of the small head. Where the lights touched the crests of the soft waves there were golden glints. The hair, falling forward, concealed the greater part of the profile. But the small chin was interesting. Some- thing very determined about it. Young Mr. Sturges likewise fav- ored tlie brown dress. It was simple, yet distinctive. He speculated in- stlnctivcly whether or not it was out of stock and hoped ,1: might be. There was, however, no speculation in regard to slim legs in their shat hose. Very pretty. Or of the neat little pumps. "Looks after her heels," he thought. The glilislihands were slender and devoid of rings. Th2 fingers guiding the pencil moved with swift sure strokes. A very capable air about this person. Ma;k took a step nearer and de- liberately inspected the drawn; over the workers shoulder before he remarked, "That's a very good . bf, "Oh . .!" v The red-brown head came up with a startled move. As Mark had suspected. the eyes looking at him from unde: their delicately arched brows were dark brown. The mouth was wide and sensitive. A doubtful little smile revealed the fleeting presence of two dimples. Which also was as it. should be. When the artist volulteeredl noth- ing more than hei- brief exclamation of surprise. Sturzes took the situa- tion in hand. I-Ie glanced from the sketch to the model. Back again. “For a display ad?” he inquired crisply. "Yes, sir." "Accurately drawn. Ever try your hand at designing?" "A little." "You should." with a brief nod, he resumed his circuit of the room. A glance into the oflioe of Emory Stewart, .ad of the department, revealed only e. young woman busled with a filing cabinet. “Mr. Stewart will be back in a. few moments, Mr. Sturges," she volunteered. “Will you wait?" "I'll see him later. Thanks." The general manager walked dir- ectly to the nearest elevators and entered an upbound car. Mark Bturges’ oflice was on the top floor cf the store. directly aci- joining the extensive suite of Spen- cer cannon, owner of The Ii-on Block. Although Mark had spent the better part of s. month in his new position, he still paused re- flectively each time he crossed the threshold of his quarters. Usually, the room wrested a wry smile from his firmly set lips. 'I‘oo fancy to suit his idea of a workshop. The walls were paneled in wal- nut. Heavy silken drapes hung at the one wide window. The desk in the center of the soft rug was mas- sive, its top gless-sheeted. There were two cavernous lounging chairs upholstered in dull blue leather.
