this was the joy of altruism, for she
added: "Yes. J shall uuirry Jim, after

On a summer's morning Clever s.U
at the vn.st de6k of hers. In the etliee of
Klphlustnnp Mrntheis.
These glesy mnhegntiy linings, that
scanet "pienit of taipet, that '.even '.even
feet niantelplefc Willi its tln.v t-estly
clock all these furnishings continued
te give thjeir effect of eutvvanl iiios iiies
perity. Clever and her managers knew
hew much thetp wan hehiud thai. An i
Clever at least found heiself at this
moment unspeakably tiled nnd harassed
and unable te cope with the sltuiitleu
very much longer.
She would have given anything te
feel, just for one hour, thnt she was
net responsible for anything at Klphln Klphln
stene Hrethers, nt Prospect Heuse or
anywhere else. Tired te death was she
of worrying, of business, of Huns, of
offices, of wtestling with men who
pitted their strength against her. If
there was only some one with strength
like that en her side! If she eiild
only lean her head up against some
thing, close her ejes and cease te think.
She was slk of thinking; utteily fed
up she was with life -at huge this
morning.
The Declaration
All of us have these mornings ; for
tunately, net ull of us combine the feel
ing of being se helpless with the n"
ecesity for being se efficient as did the
pter girlish ihief of that new tottering
firm. Her mood showed in her fuee.
that of a tiled and wistful child, nnd
In her attitude. Her whole liguie
seemed c nulled and overwhelmed by
tnni tee tug room ; tne scarlet unil ma
hegany of It "putting out" the delicacy
of her ielrlng. She was in black of
a thin summery kind, with n shady
black hat, and a while gardenia nt her
waist, und she looked as if she were In
mourning ns well us in difficulties.
A tap nt the deer. One of the neat
typists appeared.
Clever turned with a suppiesscd sigh.
Who. new, wanted te ndd te her dif
ficulties by an interview, questions, dis
cussions? "Can you see Mr. Llewel.vn, Mrs.
CnrmichnelV"
Ah, at least it wasn't a business
claim. But the head of the firm
hesitated for a moment before saying
Yes or Ne. She was net quite sine
whether te see Hebby Mewelju or net.
Slnoe that lunch ut The Clematis
when O'Hrlen and Harry Cariulchael
had come ever te join them nt coffee
there had come about gradual changes in
the acquaintance it was new almost a
friendship, 'between herself nnd the
jenjy; barrister. By some means hest
known te himself he hnd innniiged te
banish from Clever's mind the impres
sion thnt he was out for what he could
get from Elphlnstenc Hrethers. Home Heme Home
hew he had contrived te create an at
mosphere of confidence that it was she,
Clever the woman herself, for whom
he cared, and thnt If she were Mis?
Smith the typist instead of Mrs. Cat
mlchnel the chief Mr, Llewelyn's de
votion would be the same.

there, the pnl, a unrtl who would wel
come any chnnce of doing nn thing,
ever, for her. ,
Clever, had net confided te him that
she was in any need of sympathy. Yet
IminiHsiblc net te feel glad thnt it
was there. And this morning of nil
ethers eh, yes; she would be glad te
see this man-friend, this reliable one
some one who was really fend of her,
who would always stand up for
her.
"Shew Mr. Llewelyn In."
Mr. Llewelyn was shown in.
Clever's first Impression nt the sight
of him was curious enough ; for one
instant she seemed te see .beside the
dnrk, typically theatrical -legal face
with the monocle another face: fair nml
ry. I soldierly and n little stern It was the
'fare of Carmlchnel en thnt first morn
ing when lie called nt the efnee for her
request.
The memory flashed past even
before she returned Bebby Llewelyn's
greeting.
New for the first time since she had
known hltn. Mr. Llewelyn seemed a
(rifle nervous. Alse, for the first lime
he hi ought no flowers. Clever was
thankful for these sranll mercies.
Tednj she felt she could net have put
up with flowers, either of iheteric or
tissue-paper,
Kvidentlj he could rend a woman's
mood; bp knew something thnt the
Kternal Jim, for instance, would
probably never lenrn. Numely, "when
net te." In the hands of theHp few
men who de grasp this, a woman is
usually wax.

Llewelyn vaid, simply and without
flourishes. "De you knew thnt it is
