PAGE TWO Too Much Efficiency Suppose you try it first. ” suggest ed Constance to ner brother. ‘‘You’ve got to do something once in a while, Biliie. dear." She smiled maliciously, she could still afford to. Billy and Alice were broke, but nearly three dollar:- stood between her and humiliation. They loomed big, a veritable bulwark of riches. A sound of voices in the hall caught the ear? of the Bro, - ren, '‘We will first inventory Mr. Brooke's suite," the efficiency man was saying. "Then wi> will take the other apartments on this floor in turn.” “Very well, sir," said the subdued voice of Horace. After an awful minute. Alic-, stole softly to the door of Con stance’s den and looked out. Then she signaled a clear track. The three Brookes single file, tiptoed into the hall and up the stairs that led t the floor above, Mr. Hedge went about his inven- SALARY INCREASE COMES WITH PROMOTION CHICAGO.

Model Bread Co. i r X I i I ‘ft The missile struck Hedge fairly in tne middle of his forehead. tory work with an ease and cer .ainty that amazed Horace who while he could perceive n? sense whatever in the work itself, none the ess reluctantly admitted to himself hat it was be.ng done in a workman ike manner, the quick, keen eyes of Hedge missing nothing. He required no explanation from his guide. Like - good census man. he put down all he saw and did it with a speed that as amazing. He pressed briskly rom one room to another, inexora bly recording their contents on large rimed blanks. To Horace it was foolshness; to ledge it was a holy crusade. The third floor followed the sec ond. but there were no Brooke child en in sight. Horace knew why. but e efficiency man was yet to learn. "Fourth floor next." said Hedge nappily. as he produced a fresh set f blanks. Horace led the way. At the head I the stairs he turned sharply to the est and walked along a short hali vey that ended at a closed door. The utler laid his Land on the knob and paused. Most curious sounds came from h other side of the dx>r. There as a rapid, steady, and hollow beat ng noise, for one thing, with an ca elerating tempo. There was a noise -f. stamping feet, at irregular later als. mingled with soft thud. There as a screeching, whee ing sort of n use. accompanied by a metallic rat-t • tiing. Tnen just as H race turned the ’knob, there was a boisterous laugh. . Ine butler stepped respectfully aside, and the efficiency man stood ' on the threshold of a large room that ran the full width of the hbuse. First in his vision, and to occupy ■■ it lor a period of several interested -econds. came Constance Brooke. She stood beneath a large wooden ■ disk, suspended horizontally from ; the ceiling. From the center of the I disk hur.g a cord, and from the end lof the cord dangled a leather bag, ■ r jgly enflated with air. , Her hands were doubled into fists .H’u t. e fists were smashing rhyth-, micaliy—right, left, right, left— ' .. i.iinst the swaying bag. Every time c fist drove the bag against the wo-1 ■ den disk, the bag rebounded only |to meet another fist lying craftih ' ■ wait. Constance was breathing .-arply; her eyes were glisterning' • . excitement. t r an :: stant the efficiency man’s; ■_ ..re roved. Alice garbed much as ! <r s.ster. with the exception that: e wore loose knickerbockers in stead of a rt. was jus; clearing al ,-.v. t.tat was balanced some four fe:t the floor. Billy was pulling iciousiy "at a set of pulley weights attached to t'.e farther wall. Scat tered about the gymnasium were se eral pieces of idle apparatus. There was a sharp snap and the beating of the bag again- its wood en barrier ceased abruptly. H. Hed ge turned his head, just in time to see a glibular object approaching him • t apaling speed. There was no time to dodge. The missile struck I ini fairly >n the middle of his forehead, bounded back with equal suddenness, and rolled along the floor to a far corner. A broken cord was dangiipc c. ■* Constance Brooke's head as she stood rigid for an instant. t- ting eavily and staring with w v eye at the efficiency man. He was rub bing his forehead in a b -wildered way and returning her stare. T ■ re was a shriek of laughter fro”. Alice: an "I'll be—” from Billy. The bag-puncher bit her lips frowned. Yut said never a w >rd. Pulling off her glows, she tossed them aside, marched rapidly to the r ■■ . - ■ ■ • Ht- s. • ; pearec. Horace noted a glint of tri umph in her eyes. The efficiency man strolled a r?-s the gymnasium and retrieved the hag from the corner where it lay. He examined it curiously, noting the mroken bit of cord that was attached to it and nodding his head in evid ent approval. As he turned the leat' er sphere in his hands he observ ed that it had been marked up on ap parently witß. chalk. The ir.scriptior was half obliterated by bus. fists yet still elegible. It said: H. HEDGE. E. E "It seems that each one has her own way of producing an impres sion." mused'the efficiency man. “I'll admit I’m impressed!" • * * T iev made Alice do it after din nt -. A furtive inspection of the ef ficiency man revealed no scares as a result of his encounter with the punching bag; he displayed no dis ctrnible sign of a grudge. The time - ed as propitious as any. w >i’e .HE AMERICUS TIME.S-RECORDEK he need was dire and urgent. Alice played that she was reading, -nd presently looked up from her magazine and murmured softly: "There’s an article about poverty ’■ere. Mr. Hedge. It must be awful." "Sinful," he affirmed. "Were you ever poor?” , "I? Indeed, yes.” He looked at er sharply. "But you're not poor now?” “Not—exactly.” "I am,” said Alice, plaintively. H. Heedge made an exclamation with his eyes. "1 don't own a solitary buck." adder Alice. “Neither does Billy. And Connie has only two-seventy-! nine." She paused impressively then con tinued: “But—this is pay day.” "Pay day?" echoed H. Hedge, wrinkling his forehead. “Whoes?” "Why—ours’." Alice's gesture in cluded the other Brookes. • Cons'ance was studiously observ • . tie fire, woi.t Billy continued s art.-tic lamble. The keen ears of neither, rowever, rtiissed a word. "1 didn’t know you had a pay .. . ' remarked Hedge. "Yes, indeed! Once a month, you know." "That's interesting. I'm sure. Who pays you?” "Father, of course. Who else would?” "What for?” "Why—why. just for being his .hildren, of course!" Alice stared at him uneasily, then ventured a sidelong glance at Con stance. That young lady’s head was turned away. "You mean that you get salaries for being Mr. Brooke's children?" ‘■Allowance. I suppose you'd call 't." answered Alice with a hesitant FRIENDSSAY SHE IS PICTURE OF HEALTH "I cannot give Tanlac too many t-arks. for it brought back pay health and strength after everything else failed, and nearly all hope of getting well had -est me,” is the crateful statement of Mrs. Sarah Duckett. "Stomach trouble and rheuma tism had been gradually weakening m down for 20 years. At times I ached all over, could not walk with out limping, and felt too weak to get out of n y chair. Sleep was al m.st out of the question and I was nervous, discouraged and despond ent. "When I began taking Tanlac I was down to 120 lbs. hut I now w tgh 160 and haven’t an ailment i: the world. This is what Tanlac did for me four years age and since then I have never been without it :n the house.

"You mean | that each ot you receives a stated gratuity from your father." Billy glared blackly at Hedge, who > failed to perceive the expression. I Constance, her head still averted, was frowning. ’’He never calls it that,” fiatered Alice, angry, yet mindful of the end rather than the means. He he ' just pays it." "And what do you do in return for it?" "We? Why. we just love him!” Constance cleared her throat osten tatiously. It was a signal. She did not favor Alices flank attack; she had counseled a frontal assault, ' boldy and swifly executed. Besides. Alice seemed about to commit the family to an impossible policy. "I see." said the efficiency man gravely. "And how much does he pay you?" "Billy and Connie, two hundred ” dollars a month. Me. one hundred I’m to be raised at my next birth day.” H. Hedge began to write figures 'on a pad. "And tris,” added Alice, is the day that all the jnoney is due." Hedge continued to figure for a i moment. "1 find from your statement,” he said, looking up, “that your father distributes to you three children gra tuities amounting in all to S6OOO an nually.” "Really, so much as that?" asked Alice deprecatingly. “But you see. it’s only a little at a time.
