(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)

MAY‘s next position was in the

adVei-ttsing department ot a

. large store. Her work there
censist‘ed mainly of addressing on
volume.

Sometimes she addressed as many
as live hundred a day. Dut this was
not encushr A thousand a day was
the number required, and at the end
of the second week my gave up
her Job.

she rented a typewriter. took it
home. and for three days practiced
on it. But neither her speed nor her
accuracy increased. It was Md to
believe that only ten years ago one
bed been a first-rate typist who
could turn out a hundred letters a
any! .

Every night she read the "Help
Wanted" ads carefully. but failed to
see anything promising. She lied
very little motley, and she lived on
sods crackers and coffee for several
lays. .

l‘inally she made up her roles to
take snythlng in the way of a fob.
“Anything" proved to be tiling and
errand running in the cities of a
large Qatern railroad.

urday. May tore open her envelope
and looked'at the money she had
sieved for all week lens.

. . . There had been a time when
she had spent that much. and more,
every week on lunches downtown
and for gasoline for her car.

Now it must buy her food. pay her
rent. and supply her with what
clothes she needed.

'6 no. she had had to buy very
few clothes. The dresses and shoes

months ago. were still smart and
fresh looking.

As a matter of fact. they were
much too smart to be worn by an
Ohio. girl in a railroad ofiico.

my caught the other girls in the
place iookin esknnce at her once
or twice. T of seemed to be won-
dering why a girl who wore hand-
made dresses and custom-made shoes
should be working for iii a week.

where they gathered to gossip.

knew that they gossiped
about her: and so she made no of-
fort to be friendly with them. al-
though she needed friends.

She sat alone in the darkest cor~
nor of the room. walled off from the
othm by tho nllng cases. and
worked like a machine day in and
day out. for two menths..

Three or film times Gloria Gregu
ory telephoned to ask Mny out for
Sunday night supper. But May re-
fused.

She knew that sits couldn't afford
to return their hospitality. for one
thing. But there was another reason
for her repeated refusals. . . . The
very sight of Gloria's happiness in
her home had suddenly become un-

my attention to her. Two or

three of them asked her to have
lunch with them, at intervals. In
the siting phrase of the cities. she
"turned them down cold."

Attractive young chaps they were.
too. but not to May. She had fallen
into the Mini habit of contrasting
all men with Ulysses F'crgan.

This one was not so tall as he.
or so goodtlooklng.

That one walked with u. slouch.
while Ulysses Will! up straight as an
arrow, and walked with the grace of
n trained soldier.

One afternoon a group of four
men walked into the office to confcl
with Mr. Doulungcr, the elites mun-
ngcr. All four of them were the
sleek, well-fed. well-dressed type of
successful business man.

May found herself comparing them
with Ulysses . . greatly to
Ulysscs’ advantage, as usual.

The truth suddenly flashed upon
her . . . she was in love with
Ulysses!

She was 'in love with lliml . . .
That was why all other men looked
gray and uninteresting to her! ,

The friendly feeling she had ai-
wnys bud for him . . . the feeling
of loneliness that lay like lead at
the bottom of her heart . . . that-
was love and she had never
guessed it . .

She sat there staring at the blank
wall in front of her. so wrapped in
her own thoughts that she was uns-
ware that someone was standing be-
side hcr-deslt, until a large roll of
paper was laid before her.

“Day dreaming. Mrs. Seymour?"
asked the booming bass voice of Mr.
Boulungcr. the office manager.

"I—I think I was." lituy'faltered.
She looked up and smiled at Mr.

of standing too close to or when
be talked to her. that was insulting.
May felt very sorry for Mrs. Boul-
anger. a white-faced little woman
who brought her husband to the
cities every morning and called for
him every night-«la if she didn't
dare to trust him out of her lint.

"Well. if you’re daydream!!!
about roe. ! don't mind your doing
it." bublod Mr. Boulanger. “AMI

roll on May's desk with a at for.

“About these papers—you're to
take them up to Mr. Forged-J

. . . Ulysses x. li'organl

When Mr. Bouianger had gone.
Msy sat perfectly still looking down
at the roll of papers. bound together
by a thick elastic band. it was the
most ordinary roll of paper linsginea
his. and yet to May that April after-
noon it looked like the We Car-
pet of Bagdad.

For it was the means of taking
her to the man she lovedl

Outside there was sunshine and a
high wind that tossed scraps of pa;
per over the city street! like white
butterflies over a meadow.

The very small of springtime was
in the air . . ‘. as if the fragrance
of all the daffodils and burgeoning
buds out in the countgy lanes had
found its way into the gray town.

And without warning something
very like springtime blossomed in
May's breast. It was as it all the
coldness and the loneliness went out
of it, as miraculously as winter
leaves the earth. . . .

For the first time in months and
months she was happy . I . Won-
derfully happy. In all her life. she
could not remember such happiness
so this. . . . She was going to
the man she loved . . . the one man
in all the world she would shot- level

E one man in all the world not
at his desk. frowning.

He was trying to decide which
would bore him least . . . to go out
and play golf. or to go home and
putter in the garden.

Neither prospect lured him much.
When he went out to play golf. ho '
spent most of his time comparing
the women on the links with May
Seymour . . . wondering how she
would look in a scarlet golf sweater
and leather skirt.

And if he went home to dig in the
garden. he would picture Berth."
standing on the gmveied path b0

with the sun in her eyes . l .

lie got up suddenly and put on
his hat. . . . He'd get out and walk
off his mood! No use to stay here
and brood about a woman who didn't
care the open of her white flour
for him.

At that insthnt the door opened
and the woman. herself. walked into
his miles.

"A package for you from Mr.
Boulnnger." she said, demursly. snd
laid a large. rubber-strapped bundle
on his desk.

Ulysses stored and stuttered.
“Y-you working for him?" be
asked.

"Yes." May answered. She throw
back her head with s defiant move-
ment.

“l'm his office girl." she said.

Then she turned to go.

She had reached the door. and her
hand was on the knob when he
stopped her.

"Wait." he said. and she turned
and faced him quietly.

The length of the cities was be- .
tween them.

May measured it with her eye.
She had once thought she would
lilo. to be footloose . . p. to tunnel
all the high-roads of the world . . .
but now she knew that the only road
for her was the few feet of space ba-
twcen her and Ulysses Forges.

She never know whether or not
he called her to come to him.

She never knew how she crossed
the floor or that oflies of his. All
she knew . . . all she wanted to
know . . . was that she was in his

"Allmylife. . . itseotnotolno

a whisper so low that Ulysses could
hardly hear what she said. But he
did hear. and he held her even more
closely . . . held her so if he would
never let her :0.

And as May looked up at him. she
knew beyond all doubt that life held
no better thing for her . . . or for
any other woman . . . than this:
