THE QEOROIAWS MAGAZINE PAGE BROADWAY JONES Based on George M. Cohen's Play Now Running in New York A Thrilling Story of “The Great White Way.” By BERTRAND BABCOCK. 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. on the level.” said Jackson, quickly, 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.

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.

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 Continued in Next Issue A Pleasant Voice Aids Beauty, Says Miss Ferguson / JF a \ / . - ’'Ante" jiinflMrfflgMiMnißjjwffff-'g....' \ WSSHBB fSa HvTviSioT* 5 r\ \ L z - . ♦-'-fa.

"That is a beginning of course." laughed the young star, “but they for get that beauty is not merely a ques tion of clothes and that the 'most ex quisite creation can’t make up for the lack of other charms, a beautiful voice for instance. “I should make it almost a criminal offense for a woman to have a hideous speaking voice. There is absolutely no excuse for it, because any voice can be made reasonably pleasant and agree able unless there is an absolute physi cal defect in the physical formation. “I think that I was most fortunate in getting Mlle. Jeanne Faure to help me with my speaking voice and when I decided to sing the part of Eva in the corning production, it was she who vouched for my vocal ability and de veloped it. “Few women seem to pay any atten tion to their daughters’ speaking voices and certainly the younger generation enunciates so badly and uses such a meager variety of words that the Do You Know— Throughout the world the total num ber of Roman Catholics is estimated at 264.500,000.
