todays installment.
(Copyright. 1912, by George M. Cohan.)
I went to an opening night at one
of the theaters and sat in the gallery. 1
h<.ught a pair of ready-made shoes. I ate
meals at a 40 cent table d'hote and
ked 5 cent cigars, just trying to get
„sed to It all. but I couldn't. I simply
eo ildn't. All my good resolutions simply
went' to sma 1 i every time I took a look at
Broadway. I knew 1 could have the
,Mngs I wanted. They were there—and—
wpij 1 Just took them—that's all. The
flrst night I was broke I bet I walked
ti-hieago and back every night—if you
easure the carpet by the mile.”
Poor old man!” said Wallace. "I'm
sorrow tor you, but you've been a fool.”
NOT STRANGE.
Broadway had been called a fool so often
~ his short life —behind his back, but
within his hearing, nevertheless —that he
,n,;n't pay any attention to this charac
rei ization by Bob, if, Indeed, he heard it
at all.
I thought so much and worried so
much," Jackson continued, “that I didn't
rtare trust myself alone. I had the
weirdest ideas!” In spite of the gravi-
ty of the situation Jackson broke into a
laugh as he added: "Do you know, Bob,
lat I—at this moment —am a member—
of the Salvation Army?”
Wallace almost jumped to his feet in
his amazement, and then settled back
into his chair.
"What!" he roared.

1 went over to Newark and joined it three
months ago.”
"What was the Idea?"
"I thought that It would be a good way
to forget my troubles. I played the bass
drum for two nlgbts and couldn't stand
it any longer. Oh, you can't realize wj.at
I've been through, Bob! I’ve made a bluff
and pretended to be happy all along, but
■ here have been times when I have ac
tually started for that old Brooklyn
bridge 1 didn't care about the money
that I'd spent; all I worried about was
the fact of running in debt day in and
day out. with no chance of ever paying.”
■'But your uncle? He’s a rich man—did
you ever try him?”
A grim, sardonic look appeared on the
fare of the youth, which made him seem
more years than his 25.
“Yes, he's been tried and found guilty.”
he answered. "I wrote and told hln\ that
I was short of ready cash, and asked him
to loan me SIO,OOO. He sent me a pack
age of gum and a note saying; 'Chew
this and forget your troubles.' He is In
Europe now —been there ail summer.
That old fellow’s worth $2,000,000 if he's
worth a nickel.”
"Stingy,” suggested Wallaee.
PRETTY MEAN.
"He's bo mean,” returned Broadway,
"that every time he's asked to drink, he
taker a cigar—and he does not smoke,
either; saves them up and puts ’em In
boxes and gives ’em to his friends for
Christmas. While all this time —since I
was broke I’ve been going it on credit.'
For tip money and ready cash, I’ve sold
the French car and pawned those dia
mond rings I had. This is my roll.”
Broadway took a single bill from his
pocket It was a SIOO bill. “That's every
cent I have out of all I had, and, of course,
that Isn’t chewing gum money on Broad
way.”
"Why didn’t you confide in me?”
"I didn' have the courage to confide in
any one," resumed Broadway, his words
now coming in a torrent. "AU I did was
to hope that some miracle would happen
to set things right. All I’ve been think

where to get it, and Bob, last night at
that dinner table 1 sat there looking at
Mrs. Gerard and thinking of her millions
and wondering what she’d do if I told
my story—trying my best to pluck up
enough courage to take her into my con
fidence and ask her to help me. I didn't
stop to think of what 1 was doing, but 1
must have been staring at her fully ten
minutes when a waiter handed me a
note."
Then Jackson told Wallace of the pass
age of the notes and how jn the end she
had proposed to him. He thought at first
that he must have had some dint sort of
idea of marrying the woman because he
had leaped at her proposal as a hungry
man at two cents in a stranger’s hand.
She had seemed an angel descending from
heaven in a cloud of gold dust and dia
monds. She was a rescuer whom the
possibility of bearing aid made to appear
beautiful.
“And you said ‘Yes?' " said Wallace, af
ter the other had told of the final note
with its proposal of marriage from the wo
man.
NOT ENOUGH.
"But 1 didn’t put it in writing," said
Broadway, quickly, while Wallace laugh
ed; "I just got up and shouted ‘Yes!’ "
\\ allace paced up and down in great
agitation, now that the secret was out
and he really comprehended why Broad
way was to marry Mrs. Gerard.
"This is awful!” he exclaimed: "you
mttst go to work. You’ve got the mak
ings of a business man in you."
"If I went to work 1 wouldn’t have the
makings of a cigarette with what I could
earn."
Wallace thought a moment while he
tapped the table with his forefinger.
“I could get you a job in our advertis
ing company," he said: "1 might be able
to have you started at $5,000 a year."
Broadway laughed. The white light had
scared him and his standards were en
tirely out of place with the frugal world,
or even the world of real endeavor and
adequate returns. y
"Will you tell me," liq demanded,
“what good $5,000 a year is in New York?
What on earth could a man do with $5,000
a year? I owe ten times that amount
right now."
“I’ve got about SIO,OOO. I’ll lend you
that, ' volunteered Wallace, in his feeling
of panic that Broadway must be saved
from the withering talons of Mrs. Gerard
at the cost of even his own savings.
“I’d never be able to pay you back," was
the way Jackson met this offer, "and, be
sides, old boy, even if you loaned me
enough to pay all I owe. I'd still be in
debt. What’s the odds whether 1 owe it
to you or the other fellow'.' I’d never get
square with the world."
MAKING EXCUSES.
"But you can't do this thing, Jack
son,” pleaded the other. “It isn’t right.
You mean to tell me that you'd do such
a mean, contemptible, despicable thing as
to deliberately marry a woman for her
money?”
There was a flash of anger in Broad
way’s eye, mingled with a desire to justi
fy himself.
“Who says I'm marrying her for her
money?” he said aggressively.
"Oh. pshaw!” exclatfhed Wallace.
'“You know very well you don't love the
woman."
Into the tones of Broadway there came
a queer value. There was a combining
of the delight of a precocious child in
some sophistry which he doesn’t know is
one and a sort of humorous belief on the
surface of things that he was justifying
himself.
“1 don’t know anything of the kind,”
he returned. "If you were in trouble,
wouldn’t you love some one who came
.forward and helped you out of it? Be
sides, It’s too late now. anyway; the en
gagement's been announced.”
“You'll lose every friend you ever had
in the world”—Bob went at the attack
again.
"People with money never lose their
friends,” said Jackson, shortly.
Wallace paused in his walk.
“I know one you'll lose,” he said.
’’You'.’”
A THREAT.
"Yes, ami unless you tell me within
the next twenty-four hours that you've
reconsidered this matter and that you're
going to fight it out in a real way, I'll
never speak to you again as long as you
ifve!”
“Do you mean that?” Broadway saw
that there was a possibility that he had
not counted on, for at this stage of his
career it must be confessed that he was
decidedly callow.
“You bet I mean it," said the other,
sternly. “There are other things in the
world besides money. Is it getting me
anything giving you this advice? It won’t
put a dollar in or out of my pocket
whether you marry this woman or not.
You're nothing to me except a friend
and a pal, but I don't want to see you
do something that you'll be sorry for the
rest of your life. I’m sorry you’re in
trouble and there isn’t anything that I
won’t do to help you. I’ll go to the limit
for you for all I've got, but if you don’t
give up the Idea of this marriage don't
ever expect the friendship of a man who
has any decency or self respect. That's
all I’ve got to say. Now I'm going ”
Wallace picked up. his hat and started
for the door. For one long moment,
Broadway Jones stood motionless, allow
ing the friend of many nights if not days
to pass out of his life.. Then there stirred
deep within him the germ of that some
thing that was one day to make him a
man. But its movement was very feeble,
for at this time it was very far from the
dominating force in this wastrel. But
in the end the naineless thing that was
his better self conquered his bitter self
pride. In an instant he had sprung to
ward Wallabe and taken ills arm. Wal
lace stopped quickly and expectantly.
"Don't go. old man. like that " said
Jackson, almost brokenly. "Give me a
chance to think."
“All right—think." Wallace put an em
phasis upon this word that conveyed the
idea very clearly that Jackson wasn't
usually a thinker. "It's about time that
you began to think."
Broadway thought while slowly a par
tial light dawned, a partial awakening
came, but so slight that it needed just a
breath of adversity to waft him to his
former state of mind.
"You know I never looked at it that
way before," he said at last, his lingers
in his hair, as he struggled with his
"thinking." Then, after another long in
terval. he went on: “1 guess It would be
a pretty shabby thing to do at that.
You're not sore on rue, Bob. are you?"
A HARD STRUGGLE.
Although Wallaee had some dim idea of
the big struggle now going <>n in the mind
and heart of Broadway Jones, he wasn’t
ready to relent in the slightest juat yet
"I'Ve said my say, you've heard my
opinion.” he said concisely

good cough syrup for $2.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti- ;
nate cough ill 24 hours. This is partly i
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa- ’
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to
take —children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, croup, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
% pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2% ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents’ worth) in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway.white
