w( .|r .st ideas!” In spite of the gravl-
' tv of the situation Jackson broke into a
laugh as he added: "Do you know. Bob,
that 1- 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.
I v ent 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! I’ve made a bluff
and pretended to be happy all along, but
•here have been times when I have ac
) ally started for that old Brooklyn
bridge. I didn't care about the money
that I’d spent; all I worried about was
tie 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?”
\ 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. “I wrote and told him 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 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 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 I had, and, of course,
that isn’t chewing gum money on Broad
way ”
"Why didn’t you confide In me?”
T dldn’ 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 I’ve been think

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
my story-drying 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 I 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. He 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.
She had seemed an angel descending from
heaven in a cloud of gold dust and dia
monds. She was a rescuer whom the
EeautlFP’ Scaring aid made to appear
“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 I didn’t put it In writing,” said
Broadway, quickly, while Wallace laugh
ed; "I just got up and shouted 'Yes!' ”
M 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
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
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; “I 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.
“Will you tell me,” he 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 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,” 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 Tm marrying her for her
money?" he 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 rvalue. 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 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, and 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
live!”
"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,
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 nameless thing that was
his better self conquered his bitter self
pride. In an instant he had sprung to
ward Wallace and taken his 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—thtnk.” 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 fingers
in his hair, as he struggled with his
"thinking.” Then, after another long in
terval. he went on: "I guess it would be
a pretty shabby thing to do at that.
You're not sore on me, Bob. are you?”
A HARD STRUGGLE.
Although Wallace had some dim idea of
the big struggle now going on in the mind
and heart ot Broadway Jones, he wasn’t
ready to relent in the slightest just yet.
"I've said my say; you’ve heard my
opinion.” be said concisely

Miss Elsie Ferguson, a Klaw & Erlanger star, who believes in women cultivating all their charms.
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
(( 7 T is every woman’s duty to help
I make her w-orld as beautiful as
she can,” mused Miss Ferguson,
looking over her green and white
drawing room where she has put her
ideas into practice.
"Most women think that they have
accomplished that end when they have
spent a large part of each day in
beautifying themselves.
“That is a beginning of course,”
laughed the young star, "but they for
get that beauty is not merely a ques

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 coming production, it was she who
vouched for my vocal ability and de

Mrs. A. D. Winship, a student at the
University of Wisconsin, can claim the
distinction of being the oldest "college
girl” in the world. She entered upon
her college career two years ago at the
age of 78, and looks forward to tak
ing her degree in 1914. Almost as long
as she can remember, her ambition was
to go to college and "do things.” but her
desire was thwarted time and again
At the present time she is deriving the
greatest pleasure from her belated col
lege days, and enters into the life of
the university with as. keen a zest as
that of any girl graduate.
The walking stick of General Booth
used on the last walk he ever took has
a little history of its own. At a meet

Russian anarchist was converted by
the General's eloquence, and soon after
the latter’s return tot England he re
ceived from his convert a piece of
string, with the request that a not
might be tied in it to show the length
of the walking stick the general usually
carried. The string was knotted ac

carefully and to pronounce every word
distinctly. There should be breath
enough behind the voice to support it
and make it carry w’ithout straining

the constant reminder at home that
it is worth while having a pleasant
voice even if one never expects to
sing.

“The quality of the voice is cul

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Fanlly and Cheaply Made at
Home. Saves You $2.
This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup—enough to last a family a long
tune. You couldn’t buy as much 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. Tins is partly
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
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work ia 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
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get it for vou. If not, send to The

Daysey May me and Her Folks
By Frances L. Garside
WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS.
WHEN two women meet for the
first time they 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.
Even the Perfidy of Man is not full of
conversational possibilities.
The sympathy that develops over this
topic is so well understood by the wom
en that a hair switch waved by a wom
an on a train as a signal of distress will
bring other women flying to her aid. It
is more potent than a lodge pin worn by
a man.
Daysey Mayme Appleton had been in
troduced to a very distinguished wom
an. She was one who grappled with
the unseen and mysterious, and who
used words of so many syllables that
one of them, if put in,a chopping bowl
and chopped up, would furnish the or
dinary mortal with words for a week’s
conversation
Daysey Mayme was on mental tip
toe. She brought up every subject of
which she knew nothing, and the High
Brow Eady 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 Eady 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'sj
longing was for more hair.
Her hair was like bristles in a dry
climate, and came uncurled in a damp:
climate, anil was sticky before washing, |
and slid all over her head after it wasq
washed, and men hated false hair, but;
would they look at a woman with a,j

when she got up to talk of “The Higher
Reaflm of Womanhood” before an au
dience of 5,000 she felt that she was
losing a switch, and pretended to faint,
and left the platform, and she didn’t

she lost her back comb there, and when
asked to write of her Impressions of

think she would look better with her

came for parting, when Daysey Mayme
walked away with her brain so filled
w&h hair it was tit for a bird nest.
“There Isn't a famous woman living,”
she wrote in her dairy that night, "who
wnuldn’t be glad to trade her fame fora

Then she went to bed, and dreamed
that all the great women the world has

pedestals by means of a hair ropo.
