It seemed quite natural that she should listen to his story of how, he, Ted Andrews, super -salesman, Lad lost' his job with Ace -High Card Tables Co. when his selling stunt to stack tables one above the other and then climb on top of the stack ended in a crash that Injured a few bystanders h seemed even more natural to tell him how she had worked for a doctor in downstate Sumner for five years, living with her aunt And uncle after her mother died, giving them everything she earn. ed for room and board. "Pin look- ing or my Dad," she said, ex- plained, saying her mother had left him because Ile was an, im. practical inventor. "Tim Dona- van is his nano,' she went on. "fie was planning to build a fac- tory here." Then Ted Andrews thrust thepaperunder' her nose. A want ad sought Katie Donovan. *_ * * TED ANDREWS WANTED OHAPTER II WANTED—INFORMATION con- cerning the whereabouts of Katie Donovan, 23, daughter of Tim and Emily Donovan.

Kay Donovan read it again and *gain- "Why ... why, they're looking for mel" "Your mother's name as Em- ily?" -'Ted asked. "Yes. But what?" "Don't ask questions." Ted was business -like. "Listen, I need that ten bucks, and, how I need ton bucks. Here, you write the :dame of your hotel—you're in a hotel, .aren't you? -here. 'Then to to your room and stay there. I'll report to the MacLeod, etc., outfit where you can be found. I get the •cath. The lawyers get you. Maybe: you're an heiress," s * * Kay had on her newest and best dress when the tele:hone rang to pnnounoe that MacLeod and com- pany were in the lobby. "Send them right up." There was a knock on her door within two minutes. She opened it to adinit the trio of attorneys. "Miss Donovan?.I'm MacLeod,"' the Scotch` burr rolled out. "I'm Goldberg." "Pm Flynn." She 'liked them immediately. 'Tin Katie Donovan," she echoed. The Irishman took her hand. "1 knew your dad well, Miss Dono- van. He was a smart man, and I fine man. We were friends for !'oars." "We handled all your late fu' - 'titer's legal affairs; Goldberg put in "My . my late—Is Dad dead?" "He ,;e that, girl." Flynn's arm seas around her shaking shoulders. "Two weeks ago it happened. It ROMANCE was his heart." He waited until her sobbing al- most ceased, "Tim wanted you to have everything he bad ." "Everything—" Her surprise surprise showed through tear -wet eyes. "But Dad had nothing , . . He was an inventor . , , a fail- ure" "Not entirely, lass," MacLeod interrupted. "He had one sue- cessul invention, a measuring gad- get that the automobile menu.. factnrers Sound handy.' They bought the patent." "Then Dad died rich?" "Not - exactly." It was Gold - berg's turn. "In spite of our advice to the contrary, your fa. ther insisted on investing the pro- fits from this invention in a fac- tory to produce his Latest prod- uct. And it diel not sell." Kay sat down, waited for the three lawyers to pull chairs close to her:, "Now tell me quickly, do I have to go to work or do I have money?" "You have a million cans of Wondrosoap, an idle actory, two tons of raw materials and $423.85 cash, lets legal fees," Goldberg enumerated. * 5 5 They told her everything then, the three of then!, talking in turn for more than an hour. Every- thing she had wanted to know about her father, his work, his success and his failure; how they had - tried to find her in Sumner and how Uncle Ralph had told them that he was glad to be rid of her, before he discovered that Tim, Donovan had left a small estate. Unable to find her regis- tered in any of the larger hotels, they tried advertising and a young man named Andrews had finally led them to lrer. • "Oh, yes, Ted Andrews. ' I niet him in the park." They drove her down to the factory. It was, as Tim Donovan had dreamed it would be, a small brick. building, a short distance from the city. There was an acre or so of land surrounding: it. "Tim -figured he'd be expand- ing the plant soon," Flynn ex- plained. The took her through the fac- tory with, its huge copper and steel mixing vats, a canner • and a- conveyor belt leading into the warehouse. There - were long stacks of boxes there, each con- taining 144 . small, . circular cans .of 'Wondrosoap, • "What is this Wondrosoap?" Kay asked. 5 * * "Your father called it an all• purpose cleaner," MacLeod ex- plained. "The label says it will clean clothes, machinery, wall. - paper, floors and cut road scum from automobiles. You can wash windows with it, and in a pineh, grease an axle with it . ." "But your father priced it too high," Goldberg added. "He wanted to sell it, at fifty cents e can and there wasn't enough of the cleaner at that price to -get many customers." "But he liked to make it, he and Old Hans Stadt, his chemist, • RELAX OR PLAY high 1n the Laurentian,, ... t this luxurious hotel, where se rise and atmosphere have Wars attracted a distinguish ell :jttel superb cable einotts� she ... sll s its, rlvntelkeu to!I pl NI'UiVi'AAg 11 gm *rain, i ti . or Sit will t ymt yyl,ere be Mee than two iilelite yFrite eke Snit. end r ter: TH ANTECLUIt Ste ea haat, P They kept turning it out, con etantly experimenting and ins proving it," Flynn supplied. "The two of there lived here and ran the factory by themselves. That is, until Ilans went out to West Texas to visit his grandsons. Tim worked on alone until he died, ' "He came to the office that day all excited, 'I've got it now, he said. ''If what I plan works, little Kay will have allthe money she can spend. But we never found out what his plan was. I eame down here the following morning, and found him." They left lien alone in the little combination office and: home that had been Tim Donovan's. Her mother's picture was on the desk, Emily in her wedding gown. Kay's picture, too, as a laughing, dimp- led baby, nude on a white, rug. She fingered her father's pipes, strong with the odor of rich to, haeeo, and felt his nearness for the fist time in her life. She peered into his cupboard, caressed his few dishes, pictured him cook. ing for himself, alone. "We were wrong, Mother," she whispered. "Our place was with Dad," 11hey wore together now, she knew. And they would be watching out for her. 5 * MacLeod, Goldberg and Flynn were waiting at the car when she came down at last, - "I would suggest that you try to sell this property," MacLeod began. "We can probably find a buyer, but it's away from the railroad and the, highway. You'll bat?e to take a loss," Goldberg added, "That's really the smart thing to do, Miss Kay," Flynn advised. "I think that is what your father would want you to do. Take what you can get in cash. It should amount to $5,000. Youcan live on that for a while." "]]Maybe we can find a way to get rid of the product, but I doubt it," MacLeod said. "You can count on us for all .the help you need, and we're not charging you full price." Gold- berg again. "I think you are all a grand, loyal friends of Dad's and of. mine," Kay told thein. "But, I'm not goin •to sell either the factory or the Wondrosoap," "You're not going to They got together on that. "But you—a girl . .." The property will depreciate in value. You can't give Wondrosoap away, much less sell it, How are you seine to live on $400? Four hundred'and twenty-eight dollars and eighty- five cents?" Kay waited until they stopped firing questions at her, then told them her plans. "I'm going to live right here at the factory, just as Dad did.

"You can interview any girl I pick, check over her family to be sure she's all right. "Then I want a salesman with ideas—the best salesman in town. Find Ted Andrews." The attorneys showed their be wilderinent in blank faces. "Ted Andrews?" "Yes. The young man who told you where to find me. He has dark hair, blue eyes. His nose has been broken, probably in foot- ball. He's six feet tall, wears—" "You wouldn't know his ad- dress now, would you?" Flynn grinned. Kay blushed: "This Andrews used to work for the Ace -High Card Table Co., until he got arrested. Maybe Mr. Archibald can - help you. Try him anyway." "Won't any other salesman do just as well?" MacLeod asked. "I know of several reputable firms that could be induced to let you borrow a sales manager. I think we could arrange it.
