THE QEOBOIAM’S 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. TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. (Copyright, 1912. by George M. Cohan.) *T went to an opening night at one of the theaters and sat in the galler> l bought a pair of ready-mach fiioes 1 ate my meals at a 40 cent table d'hote and smoked 5 cent cigars, just trying to grt used to It all. but 1 couldn’t.

Broadway had been called a fool so often in his short life behind his back, but within his hearing, nevertheless that he didn't pay any attention to this charac terization by Bob, if. indeed, he heard it at all. “I thought so much and worried so much,’’ Jackson continued, “that I didn’t dar< 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, that I—at this moment am a member of the Salvation Army?’’ Wallace almost jumped to his feet in his amazement, amt then settled back into his chair. “What!" he roared. “On the level,” said Jackson, •tiiickly. I 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 nights and couldn’t stand It any longer. Oh, you can’t realize what I’ve been through. Bob! J’ve made a bluff and pretended to be happy all along, but there have been times when I have a< - : tually started for that old Brooklyn 1 bridge.

He is in Europe now’ been then? all summer. That old fellow's worth $2,000,000 If he’s worth a nickel.” “Stingy,” suggested Wallace PRETTY MEAN. “He’s so mean,” returned Broadway, “that every time he’s asked to drink, he takes 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 ami ready cash, I've sold the French car and pawned those dia mond rings 1 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 dicin’ have the courage to confide in any one," resumed Broadway, his words now coming In a torrent. “All I did was to hope that some miracle would happen to set things right All Ivo been think ing about was money, how to get it and SPEAKS FOR HER MOTHER North Carolina Lady Writes Interesting Letter Relat ing Her Mother’s Ex perience.

He thought at firs! 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. 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 beaut iful. “And you said ’Yes?' ” said Wallace, as- [ ter the other bad told of the final note with its proposal of marriage from the wo- i man. NOT ENOUGH. "But I didn't put it in writing," said I Broadway, quickly, while Wallace laugh- I ed: ”1 just got up an<l shouted ’Yes!’ ” Wallace paced up ami down in great I agitation, now that the secret was out ■and he really «*«>inpre!iended why ; way was to marry Mrs. Gerard. | "This Is awful!” he exclaimed: “you i must go to work got the mak ings of a business man in you.” "If I wont to work I wouldn't have the makings of a cigarette with what I could I earn." Wallace thought a moment while he ■ tapped the table with bis forefinger. "I could get you a job in our advertls I i ing company," hp said; “I might be abb ] i to have you started at $5,000 a. year." Broadway laughed. The white light had | i scared him and his standards were en- ; i tirely out of place with the frugal world, ,or even the world of real endeavor and adequate returns "W ill you tell me." he demanded. ■ "what good $5,000 a year is in New York? I 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 witheilng talons of Mrs. Gerard I at the cost of even his own savings. "I <1 never be able to pay you back," was the way Jackson met this offer, “ami, 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 I 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.” pleade.il the other. “It isn't right. V"U 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 hei money .’” he said aggressively. "<»b. pshaw!" exclaimed Wallace. ' “You know ver> well you don’t love the woman." Into the tones of Broadway there came 1 a queer value. There was a combining « of the delight of a precocious child in j 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 “It you were in trouble, would!) t you love some one who came forward and helped you out of it? Be sides. it’s too lute n»»\v. anyway; the en gagement’s been announced.” "You’ll lose every friend you ever bad 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, and unless you tell me within the next twenty-four hours that you’ve reconsidered this matter ami that you’re going to tight it out in a real way, I’ll never speak to you again as long as you live!” “Do you mean that?" Broadway saw that there was a possibility that he bad not counted on, for at this stage of his career it must be confessed that he was decidedly callow. “You bet I mean it." safd 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 u friend ami a pal, but I don’t want to see you i 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 1 won’t do to help you. I’ll go td the limit 1 for you tor ail I've got, but if you don't give up the idea us this marriage don’t ever expect the friendship of a man who has any decency or self respect. That’s all Ive got to say. Now I’m going.” Wallace picked up his hat and started for the door. For one long moment. Broadw’ay 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 m tn. But its movement was very feeble, fm at this time it was very far from the dominating force in this wastrel. But in the end the nameless thing that was his better self conquered his bitter self pride. In an Instant he had sprung to- I ward Wallace and taken his arm. W’al ku r slopped quickly and expectantly. "Don’t go, old man, like that.” said Jackson, almost brokenly. “Give me a chance to think.” \ll 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 • aim . but so slight that it needed just a breath of adversity to waft hhu to his former state of mind. “You know I never looked at it that way before, be said at last, his fingers ,in his hair, as he struggled with his , J "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 nie.

WHEN two women meet for the first time Q’ e y have a hard time getting acquainted until some mention is made of HAIR. Then they clasp hands over a mutual woe. and swim right out together.

Daysey Mayme was on mental tip toe. She brought up every subject of which she knew nothing, and the High Brow Lady tossed the ball back by talking of things so lofty that they ' made Daysey Mayme’s eyes blink. Daysey Mayme was beyond her depth i and began to flounder. She started something about the fundamentalism of all superconsciousness, when she saw that the High Brow Lady was losing her hair. "your hair —” she began, but got no further. The High Brow Lady did all the talk ing thereafter, and within five minutes had told Daysey Mayme that her 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 would they look at a woman with a INCREASING THE PLEASURES OF THE TABLE Do you have variety enough in the food you serve on your table?
