The Job That Came

By JANE OSBORN

KpETER, you don't understand,"
A said Helen for thje tenth time
' ~
that evening. It was miasumnier men
and they were/walking together along
the ocean's edge.
"Cnt that out ahout joy not understanding,"
said Peteif, not without
some courtesy. "I understand what
you think you mean?ydu mean that t
you think just because ybu have spent
four years In college hnd have come
off with a degree you are too well educated
to he my wife. Rot and rubbish!
What I also understand Is t^ijit
I love you very much. In spite of your
foolish notions, and thaj you are not
the'sort of girl, Helen Dp- Voe, who Is
going to be content with [just a career.
If that's what you call It"
"I'll always go on erring a great
deal for you, Peter," i;he said and
there was a little quiver; In her volcte.
"Only now that I've got my degree I
really think I ought to use It. I can't
give up my Ideals?even for you.
Peter."
Helen wanted to succeed In some
? CA atva flnp H;?V shP
sun ui uumucssi w vu? ?.v
went to the city carrying with her
some nice little letters of Introduction
to officers of several banks and j
bond concerns which she had begged
from the president of her home bank.
As for the bank officers?they didn't even
take the trouble to See her. Helen
was told that she would) have to send .
In a request by mall fqr an appointment
If she wished to See them. So
she tried her luck with the bond dealers
and brokers. She wias utterly unprepared
for the cool reception she received.
Then one day she mahagqd to set a*
Mr. Kelly, vice president! or something
of one of the business offices to which
she had contrived to gft a letter of
introduction.
"I don't want' anyone around here
to help run this business," he growled
aft>r she had hopefully jrecounted her
qualifications. "Our pa'y roll Is too
long as It Is. Nobody'S really Inter
ested. They Just do their own Jlttle
Jobs and draw their salaries and hurry
home at half-past four. ; Do you tjhink
any of the girls arounjj here ijfould
take It upon themselves to see that Jny I
private office was kept cleaned? I Not
much. All they'd have to do Would
be to keep after the cleaning woman?
stay after hours once In a while to see
that she did the worn. Hut no. iney
wouldn't think of st'^h afhlny"

"I'm sorry," said Helen, and after r
Mr. (Kelly had further unburdened him- |
selfI and somehow apologized to Helen
for troubling her with what didn't interest
her, she took her departure.
"put I am interested?and perhaps !
whrit you have said will give me an
Idea," she said. "One or two of the
* " * tr% , T
other men I've ihikcu w ? ?_ m
have trouble of somewhat the same
sort"
But when Helen reached her home
that week-end she was thoroughly discouraged.
True, she had a little plan
In the back of her mind, but when she
came to consider It, It didn't seem so
very good after all. Late that Saturday
afternoon she telephoned to Peter.
"I'm sorry I s&l<f what I did to you,"
she said. "Maybe It is cowardly, but
I'm going to ask you to give me another
chance. You,see, I don't belike
that there' ever would be a chance
for me In the big business world. Why,
the only possible chance I saw was to
turn to and keep offices clean. Honestly
I actually worked out a sort of I
scheme of hiring some cleaning women
and opening a little ofiice to uute contracts
for cleaning offices and per"
sonally supervising the whole matter.
I wrote to Mr. Kelly about it But
nothing came even o?.that So, Peter.*
If you want me you can have me."
And of course Peter took- Helen Id
his Rnns. beyond measure pleased to
find her In this humble frame of mind.
Of course, he knew that Helen was accepting
him because she had found no 1
chance In business.
A few days later came a letter,
signed by one J. 6. Kelly. j
^ "I didn't see any chance of gMttF'
you a Job," said Mr. Kelly, "but nncd
reading your letter and considering
your plans for an office-cleaning
agency I think perhaps we could come
to some agreement. v wsc jvu ???
brains and courage. I'm interested W
your plan and would be willing to \
back such a venture end finance vi?
We could make It a sort of-side Issue.
Meantime you could be of real use te
me here In tlfls office, and I guess I
could mention a salary that would appeal
to you." '
Helen read the letter at first with
eagerness. This Mr. Kelly, she bad
found out, was a thoroughly reliable U
business man of high standing. And ^
he had appreciated her qualifications
?he really felt that he coald make c
use of her.
Helen reread the letter and put It In
her desk. She would answer It later In ?
the day. Meantime she must keep her
appointment with Peter. They were golng
to consult with an architect about P
building a little dovecot for two. P
