Barbers to her feet.
She stored wildly shout her.

sellor in distress. wes nowhere in
sight. Barbara looked at Wells.
What would he do in e pinch-stand
by his reporter. orlcenciliete e ps-
tron?
There was no help for it. Barbers
thought of McDermott's staunch-
ness. and clung to the thought. so
she made her way to the telephone.
It was disconcertingly user the desk
of the society editor.
“Is this Miss Bel-here. Hurley?“
come the voice et the other end of
the wire, a voice like trosen cream.
Barbara admitted the charge.
"Have you eny explsnetpn to of.
fer of the disgreoeful ertICIe in to
night's Telegraph?"
Barbara. fought for time. “Which
disgraceful article?” she asked. end
knew that she him made e tectioel
CTFOZ'.
"Don't be impel-fluent," snepped
the voice. becoming less like from
cream. and more like e string of
baby firecrackers.
Barbers saw the heed of Miss
Badger rise with e Jerk. She bed
caught the word "disgraceful."
The sight 0! that heed strength-
ened Barbara's nerve. She replied
more bravely. “It you ere referring
to my story on your werdrobe. Mrs.
Hamilton. 1 heve no explsnstion
other than that it tells the truth
and it is interesting to the public.”
A rustling of pepcrs behind her
told Barbara that Miss Badger was
feverishly hunting for the "disgrace-
ful" story.
“Indeed!" cried Mrs. Hamilton. “I
shall be down. at once to see your
gemployer. You may wait until !
get there."
The receiver benged.
"Well.” thought Bubsro. es she
turned away from the telephone.
‘ “1m in for it this time."
The situation was distinctly un-
comfortable. Sbe must were Wells
of tile impellhlng visit of state.
She found him in a more sunny
mood than usual. It was that bless-
cdly relaxed time of day when even
‘ newspaper men sit back and contem-
plalo the universe. pipe in mouth
‘ and feet on desk.
"Mm. Hamilton?" he drowled.
"That's so. we did run I. story about
her today, I think."
e wry smile. "She didn't like the
story}! seld she. “And she's com-
ing right down to see you ebout it.
And she wants to see me, too."
The men looked st her.
"Well." he drewled. shoking the
‘shes from hie pipe ond letting hi-
foet down from the desk with e.
thump. ‘ We had worse than gov-
ernors' w we in this once. Though
I doubt whether we've had wv
woree troublemlekers then this lMy
is iieble to be."
Bet-here's mouth drooped lower
then ever. Suddenly Wells smiled.
"Steed by. Miss X-lewley," he said,
"we won't give up the ship yet. l'm

bootleggers, crook politicians and
annoyed governors' wives."
Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Ezra
Hsnlilion swept in. She looked
srosnd tor someone who might be
Berbere before she swished her
sebles through the little swinging
gete.
Barbers was not there to be im-
pressed. She was out in the rest
room. standing before the wavy mir-

cream into e very grimy face.

beside the city desk. talking volubly,
end using her ringed bonds to em-
phasize each sentence.
Barbers assumed her best profes.
lion-.1 manner—e. manner demure
but firm. She merched straight up
to the enrsged lady. "I am Ber-
ber-e Hurley," she said coolly. “You
wish to see me?"
Mrs. Hemilton stared at the girl.
with her smooth skin. her child-like
my eyes and her unmistakable air
of assurance. But she wee not to

”How dere you follow me?" she

that there were too many 'p's' in the
sentence.
"But the scandalous language of
the piece!" cried the governor's lady
again. "I was never so mortified in
my whole life."
Here. Barbara knew, there was
legitimate cause for complaint. if
not in her story at least ill the
headline which the copyreador had
written for it. But she knew that
an admission would be total.
“I fell to see anything scandalous
about the use of terms that are
used in the advertising columns
every day." she said. “In fact."
with a flash of humor. “I should
think you'd appreciate that 'robc dc
nuit' phrase. They cost more than
more niglligowns.”
Her impudenco surprised Wells,
but not more than it surprised Bur-
bars. Mrs. llomillon was gasping.
Wells interposed. "Tile managing
editor, Mr. McDermott. asked me to
show you into his ofilce when you
arrived." he said. , “lie is really the

looked at Barbara's calm prolilc.
ills eyes expressed a mixture of :lnx-
Iety and ndmirution. Then to the
governor's wife, “Just come this
way."
When he come buck he said to
Barbara. “No use In rlling her any

don't blame you much. These
squawking women get my goat."
Barbara was exceedingly uncom-
down the file of the Telegraph and
settled herself to rcodiug it. ill a
vain attempt to divert her mind
from the angry lady in Mth-rmoit's
omce.
After many minutes McDermott's
door opened. Mrs. Ezra Hamilton
issued from it. She was pulling on
her gloves—the very gloves.
McDermott stood in the door he-
hind her. He was smiling his most
churning smile. the one with the

city desk. Wells brought Ills feet

rose to meet her.

It had been n Ileul'y day. Barbara
was so tired that she let ll-“l‘ iloilles

and crawled ll'llf'l bod.
Eight hours lay ahead before the
turmoil would shut agnill~clght

it seemed only a moment later that
she was slariled from sleep by the
long and violent ringing of the tele-
phone bell. She turned on the night

clock. It was two o'clock.
She seized a kimono and ran to
the telephone.
Bob Jlflrics' voice come over the
wire. “Torribly sorry, Barbara, old
