"Sometimes I feel as though I had earned my college money too easily," confessed Anne. "The work I did on the stage wasn't work at all, it was pure pleasure. Ruth Denton's work is the hardest kind of drudgery." "But think how hard you worked to win the scholarship," reminded Grace. "That was work I loved, too," replied Anne, shaking her head deprecatingly over her own good fortune.
The swart man became pensive, spat impressively on the platform, and resumed his theme. "Whad I was going to say was this," he said; was gravelled, and shook his head at his foot. Denton became curious. "Go on," he said, attentive. The swart man took the plunge. He grasped Denton's arm, became intimate in his attitude. "'Scuse me," he said. "Fact is, you done know 'ow to scrap. Done know 'ow to.
Denton, that this partnership has still several years to run? Whether we own much or little of the capital, we are still your partners!" "And as such you are at liberty to oppose my actions," answered Mr. Denton, quickly; "but in that case I shall resort to the most extreme measures, for my mind is made up, and my decision final!" At this demonstration of firmness on Mr. Denton's part, Mr.

"I heard that it was on account of my son," was Mr. Denton's sad answer. "I am very sorry indeed, Miss Brady, if James ever deceived you." "Oh, he hasn't deceived me a bit," said the girl quickly. "On the contrary, he took pains to parade his attentions before me." She laughed a harsh, grating laugh as she answered. Mr. Denton looked puzzled. He could not understand her.
Denton's office, then another, and another, each more shrill and vibrating. Without a moment's hesitation every girl in the cloak-room started for the stairs. When they got there they saw a sight that made them pale with horror. Lou Willis was struggling like a maniac between two officers, who were trying to snap a pair of handcuffs on her wrists.
The only ray of sunshine that she could see was in Mr. Denton's rapidly developing improvements. As she mounted the stairs to the sixth floor to eat her luncheon in the new quarters, she was surprised to find Sam Watkins waiting at the top of the last flight, apparently on the lookout for her.
