WOMEN'S
A GIRL AND A MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van ie Water
CHAPTER XLVII. ,
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company). I
Agnes drew a long breath of relief ;
i*s she went home at the end of an
hour and a half in Sir. Bainbridge s
apartment.. Nobody could have been
kinder or more considerate than tins
man had been. When at halt-past -
nine she had told him that she must >
not stay any later this evening, he .
had made no demur.
"I always have something cold to
drink In "the Icebox," lie had said.
"Won't you have a glass ot" demon
ade —or something of that sort?'
"Oh, no; thank you!" she had re-.
plied. "I am not thirsty."
• When can you come again . he ]
asked. "You know 1 want to get;
ahead with this work as rapidly as,
possible."
Four evenings during that first |
week found her in HasbrooU Bain
bridge's library. The copying did not j
progress fast, for it was tedious and
difficult to decipher some ot" the j
quaint characters. Often the man :
and girl would puzzle for some min- j
utes over a single sentence.
The discussions thus aroused made i
the pair feel better acquainted than |
they had been before. Yet when they
met at the office. Bainbiidge's man- j
ner was what it had always been in
public—gravely polite.
It was when she had been doing •
evening work for over two weeks that
Agnes, returning home about 10
o'clock one night, was met at the j
door of her apartment by Miss Wat
son.
"Oh, I am so glad you have come!" I
the nurse exclaimed. "Your aunt is
worse, und I want you to telephone
for the doctor quickly, please." j
After Agnes had run out to the f
drugstore and summoned Dr. Martin, j
she asked Miss Watson a tremulous!
question.
"Did you have to wait long for me ;
—I mean, could I have done anything j
for auntie had I come earlier?"
"Nothing." the nurse assured her. I
"This attack came on just before you ;
got in."
SHE HAS A BITE TO EAT
Anxious as she was, Agnes felt i
comforted at this bit of Information. I
This evening, for the first time, she
had lingered for a few minutes after
she had stopped her copying to eat'
a sandwich and drink a glass of
ginger ale in Mr. Bainbridge's lux
uriously-appointed diningroom. Her
companion had taken a high ball.
The cool evenings of early Septem- ;
ber were here now; she had walked
rapidly to her destination after an
unusually light dinner, and the ex
ercise had made her hungry. She
had enjoyed the brief period of re
laxation and the frugal repast, but
the memory of it troubled her con
science. lest her aunt had suffered
longer than was necessary because
of the niece's self-indulgence. Hence
her sensation of relief at the nurse's
reply.
But graver fears were awakened
when Dr. Martin arrived. He had
hoped that all was going well with
the patient, but now a consultation
could be deferred no longer, he de
clared. A specialist was communicat- ,
ed with and made an appointment to j
meet Dr. Martin the following fore- j
noon. 1

TUESDAY EVENING,
. Thus it happened that early the
I next morning Mr. Hale received a
j telephone message from his stenog
rapher. asking permission to stay
away until noon explaining that
i her aunt was worse and that a con
' sultation was to be held at once,
j "1 do not see how 1 can spare
! you," Mr. Hale objected. "I would
: suggest that you come down as usual,
and return at the noon-hour to as
certain how your relative it."
"Very well," Agnes answered.
But her heart was hot within her
las she hurried downtown. She was
j late, for she had taken for granted
her employer's consent to her ab
sence. He was out when she en
j tered the office, and Mr. Bainbridge
i was at Mr. Hale's desk,
i "Hale will be back in a little
| while," Bainbridge explained. "He
1 was called out unexpectedly, so I
; offered to go over some of his mail
! and answer such letters as I can
j during his absence. This happens to
j be my easy day."
"I see." she said, closing the door
j and seating herself at her machine.
| He dictated several letters, then
| rising, crossed the room and stood by
I her chair.
lIE CALLS 11 Ell "AGNES."
"Agnes!" he said. He had never
before called her by her first name
| and she looked up in surprise. The
i expression in his eyes that she had
seen once before the expression
; that made her feel as If she were l>e
! ing hypnotized held her now.
"What?" she breathed.
"Hale has told me of your new
! trouble," the man went on. "So there
is to be a consultation with a spe
cialist and more money to be paid
I out! Poor, little girl!"
"Don't!" she exclaimed. putting
' her hand to her throat as if to check
! the contraction that came at the
j sound of his compassionate words,
i "Don't pity me! I can't stand it
! just now."
"I know! I know!" he soothed,
j "And Hale was a brute to drag you
: down here when you were so anxious.
I And I can do so little! Yet. dear—
II can help you by my friendship, my
I affection. Det me be something more
than your employer. liet me tell you
how much I care for you!"
He bent over her. and his hot
breath was against her face, while his
heavy hand rested on her shoulder.
At the personal contact she sprang
from him.
j "No—no!" she exclaimed. "You
. are my employer, and that only. Oh.
I don't know what you are talking
about. Please"
The door opened and Bainbride,
turning, faced Mr. Hale as he en
tered. The change in his voice made
the girl catch her breath.
"Ah, Hale." said the junior mem
ber of the firm. "I am glad you've
i come. Poor Miss Morley is quite up
i set about her aunt. I was just telling
I her that she is foolish to be so anx
ious, and that the best thing for her
to do is to forget her worry in her
| work. Now that you are here, I will
leave her with you."
And before Agnes could realize
I what had happened. Bainbridge had
i gone out of the office, and she was
| alone with her employer.

"I am delighted to meet your lord-'
ship," said he to Harrowby. "Knew j
your father, the earl, very well at one I
time. Had business dealings with him
—often. A man after my own heart.
Always ready to take a risk. I trust
you left him well?"
"Quite, thank you," I.ord Harrowby
Bnswered. "Although he will insist
on playing polo. At his age, eighty
two, it is a dangerous sport."
Mr. Jephson smiled.
"Still taking chances," he said. "A
plendid old gentleman. I understand
that you, Lord Ilarrowby, have a prop
osition to malTe to me as an underwrit
tr."
They sat down. Alas, if Mr. Burke,
who compiled the well known "Peer
age." could have seen Lord Harrowby
then what distress would have been
his! For a most unlordly flush again
mantled that British cheek. A '
tnan wa* supremely rattled.
"I will try to explain," said his
lordship, gulping a plebeian gulp. "My !
affairs have been for some time in
rather a chaotic state. Idleness—the j
life of the town—you gentlemen will j
understand. Naturally it has been sug
gested to me that I exchange my name j
and title for the millions of gome Amer- 1
lean heiress. I have always violently j
objected to any such plan. I—l couldn't I
quite bring myself to do any such low !
trick as that. And then—a few mouths j
ago on the continent—l met a girl"—
He paused.
"I'm not a clever chap, really," he ;
went on. "I'm afraid I cannot describe
her to you. Spirited—charming"— j
He looked toward the youngest of the !
trio. "You at least understand," he
finished.
Mr. Minot leaned back in his chair :
and smiled a most engaging smile.
"Perfectly," ho said.
"Thank you," went on Lord Harrow - !
by in all seriousness. "It was only in-'
cidental. quite irrelevant, that this;
young woman happened to be very l
wealthy. I fell desperately in love. I
am still in that—er—pleasing state.
The young lady's name, gentlemen, is ;
Cynthia Meyrick. She is the daughter I
of Spencer Meyrick, whose fortune has,!
I believe, been accumulated in oil." j
Mr. Thacker's eyebrows rose respect
fully.
"A week from next Tuesday," said
Lord Harrowby solemnly, "at San i
Marco, on the east coast of Florida,;
this young woman and I are to be
married."
"And what." asked Owen Jephson,
"is your proposition''"
Lord Harrowby shifted nervously 1&
his chair.
"I say we are to be married," he con-'
tiuued. "But are we? That is the
nightmare that haunts me. A slip.!
My—er—creditors coming down on me. j
And, far more important, the dreadful.
agony of losing t h e dearest woman in
the world."
"What could happen?" Mr. Jephson
wanted to know.
"Did I say the young woman was vi
vacious?" inquired Lord Harrowby. |
"She Is—a thousand girls in one. Some j
untoward happening and she might
change her mind in a flash."
Silence within the room; outside the j
roar of New York and the clatter of j
the inevitable riveting machine mak
ing its points relentlessly.
"That," said Lord Harrowby slowly,
"is what I wish you to insure ms j
against, Mr. Jephson."
"You mean"—
"I mean the awful possibility of Missi
Cynthia Meyrick's changing her mind."
Again silence, save for the riveting i
machine outside, and three men look- j
ing unbelievingly at on% another.
"Of course," his lordship went on
hastily, "it is understood that I per-;
sonally am very eager for this wedding |
to take place. It is understood that in j
the interval before the ceremony I shall
"Wall, say £100,000," suggested his
lordship.
do all in my power to keep Miss Mey
rick to her present Intention. Should
the marriage be abandoned because ol
any net of mine I would be ready t<
forfeit eU cla'ins on BoytTs,"
Mr. Thacker recovered- his breatt
! and bis voice at one and tbe same
j time.
•Treposterousr' he snorted. "Bee
ging your ship's pardon, you can
not expect hard headed business men
to listen seriously to any such propo
sition ns that Tushery, sir, tushery!
Speaking as tbe American representa
tive of Boyd's"—
"One moment," interrupted Mr. Jeph
sou. In bis eyes shone a queer light—
n light such as one might expect to
find in the eyes of Peter Pan, the boy
who never grew up. '"One moment,
please. What sum bad you in mind,
Lord Harrowby?"
"Well, say £100,000." suggested his
lordship. "I realize that my proposi
tion is fantastic. I really admitted as
much. But"—
"One hundred thousand pounds."
Mr. Jephson repeated it thoughtfully.
"I should have to charge your lordship
J a rather high rate. As high as 10 per
| eent."
Lord Harrowby seemed to be in the
throes of mental arithmetic.
| "I am afraid," he said finally, "I
1 could not afford one hundred thousand
at that rate. But I could afford—sev
i snty-flve thousand. Would that be
satisfactory. Mr. Jephson?"
j "Jephson!" cried Mr. Thacker wildly.
| "Are you mnd? Do you realize" —
| "I realize everything, Thacker,'' said
I Jepbson caJmly. "I have your lord-1
j ship's word that the young lady is at
present determined on this alliance?
; And that you will do all in your power
j to keep her to her intention?"
! "You have my word," said Lord Har
| rowby. "If you should care to tele
graph"—
j "Your word is sufficient," said Jeph
| son. "Mr. Minot, will you be kind
i enough to bring me a policy blank?"
| "See here, Jephson," foamed Thacker.
! "What if this thing should get into the
newspapers? We'd be the laughing
stock of the business world."
"It mustn't," said Jephson coolly.
"It might!" roared Thacker.
| Mr. Minot arrived witti a blank pol
; Icy, and Mr. Jepbson sat down at the
I young man's desk.
| For a time there was no sound In
i the room save the scratching of two
i pens, while Mr. Thacker gazed open
mouthed at Mr. Minot and Mr. Minot
I light heartedly smiled back. Then Mr.
Jephson reached for a blotter,
j "I shall attend to the London end of
this when I reach there five days
| hence," be said. "Perhaps I can find
! another underwriter to share the risk
i with me."
As the door closed upon the noble
-1 man Mr. Thacker turned explosively on
i his friend from oversea,
j "Jephson," he thundered, "you're an
I idiot! A rank unmitigated idiot!"
; The Peter Pan light was bright in
| Jephson's eyes.
"So new," he half whispered. "So
original! Bless the boy's heart. I've
j been waiting forty years for a proposi
i tion like that."
1 "Do you realize," Thacker cried,
j "that £75,000 of your good money de
pends on tbe honor of Lord Harrow
j by?"
"I do," returned Jephson. "And I
| would not be concerned if it were ten
times that sum. I know the breed.
| Why, once—ami you. Thacker, would
; have called me nn idiot on that occa-
I sion, too—l Insured his father against
j the loss of a polo game by a team on
J which the earl was playing. And be
played like the devil—the earl did—won
1 the game himself. Ah, 1 know the
; breed."
• "Oh, well," sighed Thacker, "I won't
I argue. But one thing is certain, Jeph
j son. You can't go back to England
j now. Your place is In San Marco with
I one hand on the rope that rings tbe
| weddiug bells."
i Jephson shook his great bald head.
"No," he said. "I must return today.
!It Is absolutely necessary. My Inter
ests In San Marco are in the hands of
j Providence."
j Mr. Thacker walked the floor wildly.
"Providence needs help In handling
! a woman," he protested. "Miss Mey
rlck must not change her mind. Some
one must see that she doesn't If you
can't go yourself"— He paused, reflect
ing. "Some young man, active, ca-
I pable"—
j Mr. Richard Minot had risen from
his chair and was moving softly to
j ward his overcoat. Looking over his
I shoulder, he beheld Mr. Thacker's keen
j eyes upon him.
| "Just going out to lunch," he said
j guiltily.
I "Sit down, Richard," remarked Mr.
j Thacker, with decision.
I Mr. Minot sat, the dread of lome
! thing impending in his heart.
I Mr. Thacker wheeled dramatically
! nnd faced bis young assistant.
"Richard," he ordered, "go to San
Marco. Go to San Marco and see to it
that Miss Cynthia Meyrlck does not
change her mind."
A gone feeling shot through Mr. Mi
not in the vicinity of bis stomach. It
was possible that he really needed that
lunch.
"Yes, sir," he said faintly. "Of
course it's up to me to do anytblnc
you say. If you Insist I'll go, but"-
