Lf SL, f"' :- - A Fat Man's ' Chance By J. k McCarthy , Doafcl.dar, Fill Co.) RCT'US BURTON, be of the glaring and the Incredibly optl-miot-disposition, .was not a man to be discouraged by trifles. Where a modern Casslus, with hla lean and bungry look, would bar shot up the boss and then gone borne and pickled his meager lungs In gas, Rufus Burton merely leaned back In his overbur-dened chair and let his waistband roll with laughter. Ue sat upon life com-placently, and squashed the troubles out of It, as a fat man should. Yet today the. Impossible had hap-pened. Rufus Burton's huge girth did not roll, His mighty "Ho hoi" did not rock the office walls. The fact Is, Burton the whole three hundred pounds of him was glum. For Burtdn had conceived a great idea, and the chief had pooh-pooh'- So Rufus sat sagging in his chair, glum as last week's cream-puff- . But not for nothing did the bowl of his pipe grow hot, and his round eyes watch the maneuvers of a spider on the celling. Burton's round brain was working In bis round bead. Be was evolving a scheme. It might not work; It might work; It must work. "If It takes ten years," he told the spider. "I'm going to put that Idea through that dumb-bel- l Green's head." The fat man was like that. His loyalty to Oreen was second only to his loya'ty to the firm of which Oreen waa chief. It would never have en-tered bis bead to take bis pet Idea to some other advertising agency. The Oreen company was his company and his company and tils idea must some-how be got together. Th spider on the celling had com-pleted her web and retired into ob-scurity. Her trap was set Presently a fly Olio I Burton's sagging cheeks stiffened. He even smiled. Timothy Green, the chief, passed his dek a few minutes later. "Well, Ru-fus, have you forgotten that fool scheme of yours and got back to hon-est workr But the fat man was bis old self again. He grinned. "I haven't for-gotten the scheme, but I've got back to work. I'm after some one to write the Ladles' specialty copy, since Miss Simpson is to get married. What do you think of Miss Dorothy Hall, who writes the style column In the NewsT" Now, Burton happened to know very well what Green thought of the good-lookin- g Dorothy Ball. This, in fact, was why he asked. Green thought of her very much as Burton himself thought of her, which was pretty com-plimentary thinking, to say the least "Can we afford her?" Green asked. "That's the only question, of course. But she can produce the stuff. Guess we'd better arrange to afford her." "All right," said the chief, with en-thusiasm. "Go get her." Thus It was that Miss Dorothy Ball was Installed where Rnfus Burton could admire her, and where Green, when be was lucky, could have a word with her. Miss Dorothy entered into her new work with keenness which surprised even Burton, wbo had ad-mired her brains (from a safe dis-tance) ever since she had returned from college and entered the employ of the News two years before. She was quick as lightning to un-derstand the idea, and soundly eff-icient in its execution. No wonder, then, that when Burton told her of his great idea which was to triple an im-portant branch of the business. But he was constrained to warn her. "Don't say a word about this idea to Mr. Green, Miss Dorothy. Be can't see it with a telescope, and the mere mention of It throws him into a rage." "Why, that Is absurd I Bere you propose to secure for his company a practical monopoly on a big branch of the advertising business, new to this city, and be can't see ltl This idea of booklets which will entertain the children, coupled with advertising to mothers of children's goods is a really big thing. It'll take the de-partment stores by storm. You can sign them up easily. And I can write the copy. Mr. Green really must be made to see ltl" "No," said Burton emphatically. "Better not say a word to him about It It makes him mad." Three weeks later Kufus Burton re-turned, fatter and funnier than ever, from his vacation. When he went to the office, Miss Dorothy was not at her desk. But presently the door to Green's office opened, and the young lady in question came out She was dressed for the street "Oh, Miss Dorothy, I'm glad to see yon again," said the round man. The young lady smiled and held ont her hand. "Mrs. Green," she correct-ed him, archly. Burton watched her disappear through the outer door. Be was still standing, when Green appeared and stepped up to him Jauntily. "Congratulations I" mumbled the fnt man, meekly. "Thank you 1 And say, Burton, I've decided to try ont that idea of yours. I I ei Mrs. Green thinks If s minutes later Rufus Burton, alone, leaned back dangerously In his overburdened chair. Bis Jolly bulk rolled with the laughter of an incur-able optimist A new spider was on the celling. "Nobody loves a fat man," Burton told the new spider, "but It takes a lot Bore than one thin man to beat Mm!" e Breaking It Gently By FRANK WALL t. Ooubtodajr. Fu Co. fpUERE were times when Lawsou McCormlck, bead of the whole-aai- e lumber bouse of thut name, felt strongly Inclined to break the rule of his flrin that no employee must be tired except for murder or something desperate like Unit He glanced at Alius Biggs and sighed. Well, there were other ways. "Miss Beggs," he said gently. His secretary roused herself from a pleasant day-drea- "Yes, dearie," she murmured absent-mindedl- "Please take a letter," snapped Mc- Cormlck. "To Iamstalevich 1234 Ornltherlncbus Building, Eusopoedla, Pa.," be said blandly. "While psycho-aualysl- s Is not, meta-phorically siieokhig, an Integral part of our activities, we are pleased to elucidate your query. Psycho-analysi- s la a kind of vivisection of the subjec-tive faculties, whereas metaphysics is the science which circumnambulates about abstractions." "Let me have that right away, Miss Beggs," he added. "Gee I" murmured Miss Beggs re-proachfully as she went to her desk. Thereafter for about five minutes there was an Intermittent tapping on her typewriter, broken by periods of eloquent silence; but at last she brought the letter to her chief. "You're very slow," he said sharp-ly. "I wanted this right away." "Bit peeved, aren't you?" said Miss Beggs mildly. "Don't mind me." McCormlck was reading the letter. "Yamsklll O'Witch Bamboozles, 1234 Ornerywlnkus Building, Useapoodle, Pa. While slkonalllsls Is not metter-fericail- y speaking an lnteggeral part of our activities we are pleased to lucydate your queery. Slkonalllsls Is a kind of vlvlsuctlon of the subjective faoulters, whereas nietterflsslcs Is the science which shirks a peramhulater about suhstractlons." "There Isn't a mistake you could have made that you haven't made," growled McCormlck. "Kind of thorough," said Miss Beggs, and she faded away Into one of the day dreams. McCormlck regarded her thoughtful-ly. She was plain In every way in which a girl can be plain, but her face usually had a look of shrewdness which made him like ber In spite of herself. Just at present though ber expression was one of rapt foolishness. McCormlck tore the letter fifty ways at once and threw it into his waBte-pape-r basket. "Miss Beggs 1" he said sharply. Her head turned slowly, but she did not speak. She was too far gone in dreamland to come back all at once. "Miss Beggs!" he' shouted. "Oh, Miss Beggs I" And Just when the attention of ev-ery one in the office had been attract-ed she looked up at him. "Yes, lovey?" she murmured. McCormlck tore bis hair. "Take this away and drown It I" he muttered. "Oh, ye gods, what have I done to deserve this?" "Take another letter," he said ex-plosively. "I'll give yon the name and address presently." Be sat drumming with his fingers for a moment and then: "I regret to have to Inform you," be dictated In a level voice, "That your work recent-ly has been characterized by sheer stupidity. It la unfortunately the rule of this bouse not to dismiss employees for stupidity. . . ." Miss Beggs was wide awake now. She rose, gathering her notebook and pencil, and looked him straight in the eyes. "I'm sorry, Mr. McCormlck," she said In a low voice. "You got me on a lot of unusual words that time , . . and I've been g a lot, too. . . ." And then, man like, and perhaps be-cause he'd always had a kind of lik-ing for this queer little secretary of his, he rushed to the other extreme, "I'd no right to speak that way," he said. "Suppose we both forget, will you? I haven't any more letters Just now. Will you tell my son I'd like to see him?" "I'm leaving on Saturday," she said wistfully. , "Ah !" said McCormlck, and In that monosyllable he expressed a whole dic-tionary of Joy and relief. "Er I hope your decision isn't final, Miss Beggs?" "Well ... I got married last week-en- . . "I wouldn't try to dissuade you for the world," he said hastilv : "If you've made up your mind to go, we'll have to manage somehow. I'll never have a secretary like yon again," he said " earnestly. And she gave him that queer little likeable smile that made her homely face so charming at times. "It's very nice of you to say that," she mur-mured. "I'll tell you one thing," he said, and be really meant this: "I may have a more efficient secretary, since we're trying to be frank to each other, but m never have one wholl ' stand my moods and tempers so splendidly as yon have. As private secretary, you're the girl' In the office." And this time she fairly beamed at him. "An even temper Is a good qual-ity for a wife to have," she said thongh fully. , "You bet it is." "It's a pretty good quality for a daughter-in-la- too, Isn't it?" And when he didn't reply: "Jack was scared to break the news to you," she said smilingly. |
