(Copyright. 1912. by George M. Cohan.)
*’l went to an opening night at one
of the theaters and sat in the gallery. 1
bought a pair of ready-made shoes. 1 ate
my meals at a 40 cent table d’hote and
'■( umoked 5 cent cigars, lust trying to get
used to'lt all. but 1 couldn't. 1 simply
couldn't. All my r ••! resolutions umply
went to sma ever: time 1 took a look at
Broadway. I knew 1 could have the
things I wanted. Thej were there ami
■well 1 just took them that’s all. The
first night I was broke I bet 1 walked
to Chicago and back every night if you
measure the carpet by the mile ”
“Poor old man''' sai<l Wallace*. "I ni
sorrow for you. but you've been a fool.”
NOT STRANGE.
Broadway bad been called a fool so often
in his short life behind his hack*, hut
within his hearing, nevertheless that he
didn't pay any attention to this charac
terisation bj Bob, if, indeed, ho heard it
at all.
H “1 thought so much and worried so
much,” Jackson continued, “that i didn't
dar«. trust myself alon«'. 1 had the
weirdest Idea ’ In spite <.f the gruv -
ty of. the situatic n .b ekson broke Into a
laugh as hf added: “Do you kt <>w. Bob,
that I—at this moment am a member
of the Salvation Army?”
Wallace almost jumped to his feet in j
his amazenionf. and then settle! back
Into his chair.
“What!” he roared
“On the level.'' said Juckson. quickly, j
I went over to Newark and Joined It three .
months ago.'
“What was the idea?'
“J thought that it would be a g'iod way i
to forget my troubles. I played the bass i
drum for two nights ami couldn't stand
It any longer. Oh, you can’t rpallze what I
I’ve been through, Bob! I've made a bluff
and pretended to be- happy all along, but !
there have been times when I have a< - '
* tbally started for that old Brooklyn |
bridge. 1 dldn t care about the money ;
that I'd spent: all 1 worried about was j
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 1
you ever try him "'
A grim, sardonic look appeared on the
face of the youth, which made him seem
more years than his 25.
“Yes. he's been tried and found guilty.”
he answered “J wrote and told him that
I was short of ready cash, and asked him
to loan me SIO,OOO. He sent me a pack

PRETTY MEAN.
“He’s ao mean,’ returned Broadway,
“that every tjine he’s asked to drink, he
takes a cigar and he does not anmke,
either; saves them up ami 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

Broadway took a single bill from his
pocket. It was a SIOO bill. “That’s every
cent I have out of all 1 had, and, of course,
that Isn’t chewing gum money on Broad

“Why didn’t you contlde in me?”
“I didn’ have the courage to confide in

now coming in a torrent. “All I did was

I where to get It, and Bob, last night at
that dinner table I sat there looking at
Mrs. Gerard and thinking of her millions
and wondering what she’d do If I told
rny 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 I
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 in the end she
had proposed to him. lie thought at first
that he must have had some dim 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.
Sl:< had seemed an angel descending from
heaven in a cloud of gold dust and dia

Wallace paced up and down In great
i agitation, now that the secret was out
and lu really comprehended why Broad

must go to work. You've got the mak
ings of a business man in you.”
"If I went to work I wouldn't have the

Wallace thought a moment while he
tapped the table with his forefinger.
"I could get you a job in our advertis

I to have you started nt $5,000 a year.”
Ilroadway laughed. The white light had

i tircly out of place with the frugal world,
ior even the world of real endeavor and

"Will you tell mo," he demanded,
"v.hat gorgl $5,000 a year is In New York?

"I've got about SIO,OOO. I'll lend you

"I'd never be abb- to pay you back," was
tlu- way Jackson met this offer, "and, be

enough to pay all I owe. I'd still be in
debt. What's the odds whether I owe it
to you or the other fellow .’ I’d, never gel

MAKING EXCUSES.
"But you can't do this thing, Jack
son,” pleaded the other. "Il isn’t right.
You mean to tell me that you’d do such
a mean, Contemptible, despicable thing as
to deliberately marry a woman lor her
money?”
There was a flash of anger in 'Broad
way's eye. mingled with a desire to justi
iy himself.
"Who says I'm marrying hir for her
money ? ' be said aggressively.
"Oh, pshaw!” exclaimed 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.
"I don't know anything of the kind,"
he returned. "If you were In trouble,
wouldn't jnti love some one who came
forward and helped you out of It? Be
'hshle.s. 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 tnonej never lose their

M allace paused in his w alk.
"I know one you’ll lose." he said
"You?”
A THREAT.
"Yes, and unless you tell me within
I the next twenty-four hours that you've

I never speak to you again as long as you

"Do yon 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 tne

put a dollar in or out of my pocket

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily auil Cheaply Made at
Home. Saves You 92.
I This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup —enough to last a family a long
. time. You couldn’t buy as pitich or as
! good cough syrup for $2.50. *
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti
nate cough in 24 hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
I 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
I* pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put S’g 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
1 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
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula. •
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
imitated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this

WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS.
WHEN two women meet for the

some mention is made of HAIR. Then
they clasp hands over a mutual woe,

Daysey Mayme was on mental tip

Daysey Mayme was beyond her depth

something about the fundamentalism of

that the High Brow Lady was losing
her hair.
"Tour hair—” she began, but got no

The High Brow Lady did all the talk

had told Daysey Mayme that Iter soul’s
longing was for more hair.
Her hair was like bristles in a dry
climate, and came uncurled in a damp
climate, and was sticky before washing,
and slid all over her head after it was
washed, and men hated false hair, but
