1-1-:fgfaunomwk -----ifffm e- -- Encounter l noticed her the moment I entered the corridor. She was standing near the elevator entrance, glancing now and then, with almost savage eyes, at the men passing up the stairway. The glance was often, as in my case, reciprocal. I reasoned rather vaguely that here was a woman whom I had no particular desire of knowing. It was also quite evident that she, in turn, held a scornful contempt for the persons who were waiting there for the elevator. The cage descended, the door was opened, and several men hurriedly merged. Without exception, they cast a sidelong glance at the figure standing near the entrance. Up? asked the elevator boy in a matter-of-fact voice. Well, certainly not down! the woman snapped out, and entered the cage. Three others, including myself, followed her. -- Young man, will you kindly hold these parcels? asked the woman, turning to Illl'. ., That will you kindly failed to be a matter of courtesy, considering the lone in which she made the request. Certainly, madame, I replied. I was scarcely aware that my voice had betrayed any unwillingness, but l suppose it did. At any rate, she detected it. Young man, she said, staring at me with an almost withering gaze, you're-highly improbable. ltll admit that I had held some such an opinion of myself, but l resented the criticism from this particular person. Nevertheless, I took the packages without any more words. The other occupants of the cage, who had been interested observers of the incident, got out upon the third floor. Well, now I can breathe a little more freely, said the woman, as the door closed behind them. I could see by the questioning look on the face of the elevator boy that he desired to know to what floor the woman wished to go, but that first encounter and subsequent observation seemed to have taught him better discretion than to ask. He decided to allow her the privilege of giving the direction unsolicited. I desired to get out on the fifth floor, but did not dare to tell her' that she must take her packages, as I, too, was quite 1'esigned to await her pleasure. The elevator stopped. Top floor, madam, the boy said, rather meekly. Top! she exclaimed, with decided vehemence. Then please descend to the ninth. Of all the impudence! The elevator boy seemed to wish that the cage were larger. She stepped out on the ninth, and I followed with her parcels. This way, she directed. I began to wonder where my fate was leading me. She walked with decided step down the hallway, stopping at the door of a private office. There she relieved me of her two small bundles. l breathed a sigh of relief as she closed the door behind her, and walked rather shamet'acedly down the stairs to the fifth floor, where I' had some busi- ness to attend to. l had barely stepped out a half hour later when I met the woman again.
