MASON CITY GLOBE-GAZETTE PHATTY -Goddess of Gab i 8 i I if 1 secretary out to lunch the last few months." But it never entered her head to be 'sorry for. Mrs. Van. never occurred to her that Mrs. Van might be in love with her husband just as'much as she, herself, was in love with Dave Jordan--and that it might break Mrs.

Van's heart to know that he ever noticed any but herself. She whistled light-heartedly as she wont about with her dressing-brushing back her hair into a smooth, honey-colored roll at the hack of her head, rubbing the tin- Jest bit of talcum powder on the shiny end of her little nose, clasping Billie's pearls around her neck. -At ten minutes before seven she and her mother were' sitting together in the Fro'nt Room looking, as Chatty said, with a laugh, like "two ladies of leisure instead of couple of debt-ridden wage slaves." At five minutes before seven Pud came flying up the front stairs taking two steps at a time, and bursting into the flat like a baby hurricane. He threw his hat down on the table in the middle of the room, took off his coat and threw it over the back of his chair, and then looked around for his supper. "Aren't we eatln' tonight?" ho wanted to know.

"Say, what's everybody dolled up for? What's han- pentn'?" Just as Chatty was opening her lips to tell him to pick up his clothes, the doorbell rang sharply. "There he is! There's Dave Jordan now!" she cried excitedly. "Pud, PLEASE put on your coat! A man from the office is taking me out for dinner, and when he comes up here I want you to shake hands with him and be as polite as you can--' She stopped suddenly, and a look of horror came into her little.face. she said, "have you ever delivered any--any packages for Ben Tomlinson to a man named Jordan He's red-headed and he lives in a flat on the East Side somewhere with; som other bachelors." Pud knew what ahe meant by "packages," and he -flushed and threw an uneasy look at his mother. "Naw," he answered, sullenly, "I don't know any such cord.

But I don't want to meet any of your friends, if that's the way you feel about me." And he went into, his own room and slammed the door behind him. Mrs. Chatterton's voice followed she went to open tho door, "I don't see why you should HOG MARKET TAKES NEW DROP OF 10 CENTS -i II be; ashamed of your brother," It said. of boys work afternoons after school--it's nothing to be ashamed of." "If she only knew about him!" thot Chatty. "I like your mother very much," Dave Jordan said ten minutes later, when he and Chatty were going down the stairs side by side.

"She's just the sort of a mother who'd have a daughter like you." "Now, what do you mean by that?" Chatty's voice shook a littlo with, the excitement and thrill that always came to her when she was with him. "I mean that she's a lady--just as you are," Dave Jordan told her, in his plain, blunt way. "She's like my own mother. No paint, no pow- 3er, no high-hat stuff about her. She's a regular woman--sensible and sweet, isn't she? Chatty laughed, nestling against him as the Pride of America started away from the told me tonight that I must sensible about you," she said, unsteadily.

"She told me I mustn't take you seriously." "Why not?" "Well, I'd been telling her that all the girls you knew were rich ones who wouldn't get married on less than ten thousand a year, and so on. And she told me that one of those girls was probably the girl you would eventually marry instead of a poor one like Chatty caught her breath after she said that it seemed such a bold thing to say to a man whom she didn't know so awfully well, even If she had let him kiss her two or three times, didn't it? "I was engaged to the girl who wouldn't get married on less than ten thousand a year," Dave Jordan's voice came to her grimly, above the rush of the night wind in her ears. "And she--well, it's all off iiow. So you tell your mother for me that I'm not in any danger of marrying an heiress, in the near future, will you?" Chatty did not answer. And he nothing for a long time.

The Pride of America had left the lights of the town behind, and was nosing its way into the darkness of the country when he spoke again: "I'm taking you out to a restaurant called the 'Lollypop Inn'--ever been there?" "I've told you and told you that I've never been anywhere!" Chatty answered him. "I've been a nine o'clock girl all my life." "That's why you're so sweet," he said, and he put one arm lightly ftround her shoulders. He did not look like a man whose heart is smashed because his en- has been broken, when he opened the door of the car for Chatty in the courtyard of the 'Lol- Jypop He did not behave like one, either, that night. He danced every dance with Chatty, as if ahe were the one girl on earth that he wanted to dance with and hold In his arms. He ate quantities of fried chicken and shoe string potatoes and pie.

And all the way home he kept his right arm around Chatty's soft little shoulders and drove with his left one. She'was sorry when the Pride or America drew up before the red brick apartment building in Liptou street, all silver and black velvet with moonlight and shadows, and the glorious magical evening was over. B'ut she was happy--breathlessly, wildly happy--a second later when he turned in his seat and took her in his arms. Her head drooped back upon the rough shoulder of his coat, and he covered her face and her throat with kisses. "Chatty--you're so doggoned sweet--so sweet," he told her huskily, unsteadily.

He stood in the road and lifted her out upon the pavement. "Tomorrow night again?" he asked, holding her- face between his two hands. "Tomorrow night," she promised He kissed her again and let her go The next morning Chatty slept late. It was nine o'clock when she walked into the office. She threw her hat and coat on a hook In the cloakroom and fairly flew into the files room, where Bil- He was hard at work, checking 1 client lists.

"New job for you!" she sang out, when she saw Chatty. "Jean Gilday's home' with a sore throat, and they want you to answer the phones today." Chatty had often taken care of the switchboard when' Jean Gilday was at lunch, and she enjoyed doing it. It was such fun to "listen in" on telephone conversations in the office. She was as happy as a lark, and as busy as a bee, when Dave came in at noon. He walked over to her and stood, smiling down, at her.

"You'd probably enjoy having that job all the time," he said. "You seem to be having the time of your life." "Oh, I'd adore to do it forever! 1 she warbled at him. "I've been hearing everybody's business all morning! Agnes has lost her office keys and. she's been telephoning her home for this is twice as exciting as the filing room!" She laughed to herself, thinking of Agnes' keys, in the sewer pipes under the city, somewhere!
