The elder Brownley wrote, and smiled as he wrote ; then he gave the paper to the girl, and, ignorant of, or careless of, his son's presence, he patted her hand and crossed the room to the hatrack. Beulah would have left the room, but Bob caught her wrist in a fierce grip. The elder man was apparently too much absorbed with his pleasant thoughts to notice the byplay, and, adjusting his silk hat to a rakish angle, he stalked off, humming a popular air. The girl was puzzled and a little frightened. Under her long lashes she glanced up at the younger Brownley, who was eying her with a thundercloud on his brow "When you get tired holding my wrist " she suggested. "I want to see what my father gave you !" He released her, and, looking still more puzzled, the girl held out to him a check. "It's my first month's salary," she told him. "Have you any objections — or do you think I'm too expensive a secretary?

I have only your best interests at heart. This is a strange household you find yourself in, and I want no taint of the poison to touch your own soul. That's how much I think of you. Forgive me." He went 'I want to see what my father gave you.
