and tries to mske love to her.
(NOW GO ON “11'“ THE STORY)
ITII fascinated eyes she watch-
' ed Itir. Barker come slowly to-
ward her across the tiny ofllce.
As he came May backed away from
him. Step by step. knowing all the
whiio that she should not back
away. .
What she ought to do, she told
herself, was to stand her ground
firmly.
lint what she was afraid of was
that if she did firmly stand her
ground. Mr. Barker would seize her
and kiss her. Kiss her with those
horrible, wet lips of his that were
stretched above his yellow teeth!
Mr. Barker chewed tobacco.
At last May felt her shoulder-
blades touch the well. She realized
that aho had backed away from Mr.
Barker just as far as she could. And
still he kept on coming . . .
"Don't' you dare come I. step
nearer to me!" she panted. “Don't.
you dare! . . . If you do. I‘ll scream
90 the whole town can hear me!"
Her voice was faint and tint.
Mr. Marker smiled. “Oh, no. you
won't!" be said comfortably. “You
want this Just as much as I do.
Before May could say' mother
word in protest he took her firmly
in his arms, and bent his head down
so close to hers that she could feel
his tobacco-laden breath on he!
cheek.
Then suddenly he let he: go.
“What was that?" he hissed. “S-ssh!"
He laid one of his dirty fingers on
May's mouth.
There was a faint tapping on the
outer ride of the door—one loud tap
followed by three short ones.‘ It
sounded again.
“That’s Pauline ,, . . she always
traps that way!" Mr. Barker whis-
pered in May's ear. "Don't make I
sound, darling!"
“Pauline" was Mr. Barker’s wife,
1 short. fat women with light hair
and eyelashes: s. muscular and
"strong-minded women. of whom it
was said that Mr. Barker was moo
tnlly afraid.
Maywassureshe oouldtoelhll

when he spoke.
"Don't move or make a. sound.

“She’ll be gone in a minute."

“For two pins I‘d go right out
and tell her what you were doing."
she hissed.
Again the tapping sounded upon
the door. This time it was more
violent. . . . Could it be that "Paul-
ine" could hour the whispers within?
“What would you tell her I was
doing?" asked Mr. liarker. under
cover of the tapping.
"Baking love to me against my
will, you beast, you!" May whispered
furiously. "You know what you
were doing. without my telling you!"
Mr. Harker laughed silently.
There came I sound of retreating
footsteps on the sidewalk ou’tslde the
office. and in a minute or two Mr.
Harker unlocked the door and threw
it open. |
May sank down at her desk and.
hid her face_ln her folded arms. She
was shaking from head to foot.
Suddenly she heard a voice dl~
rectiy behind her—e woman's voice.
"Now, Henry Harkcr. what were
you and that girl doing in here,
locked up alone?” it asked.
May swung around in‘ her chair.
Not two feet from her stood Mrs.
Barker, arms akimbo. eyes fixed on
Mly like twin points of steel.
"You hussyl" Mrs. llarker nd-
dreasod her in a voice that rumbled
like distant thunder. "You hussy.

May was too startled to speak. She

for a long moment. . . . “The

Then May found her voice. It cut
the stillness like the bias of a knife
hurled through the room.
“Your husband lies when he says
that!" she said. "He locked me in

She ohuddcrctl, and waited for
Mrs. Herker to speak. But the
square women with her white
lashes and colorless lips evidently
had nothing more to say. She stood
staring at May for what seemed an
eternity, end then collapsed heavily
on a. chair beside the door.
“He‘s been doing this for thirty

At the door she turned stain. and
faced May with suspicion clenrly
written in her pole eyes.
“You’re sure you're telling ms the
truth? You're sure you didn't lad

Mey‘s smile pitted her. “Listen to

"You're like all the rest of the mer-
