• Where are the bills? I'll go over them."
Broadway was only too glad to have

they were in his desk in the adjoining

totals of some of them, while he himself

the dinner of the night before had cost.
He got Speary’s on the phone, and the
l ead cashier at once. It would be looked
up for him immediately, the cashier as
sured him. If lie would hold the wire.
Broadway put the instrument down on
the table while he stood waiting. Ran
kin entered quietly. In his sudden de
sire to economize, Jackson turned to him
abruptly.
"Rankin, you’d better look around for a
new job.''
The butler's face fell abruptly. "Pick
ings" had been good with him in the ex
travagant household financed by the
spendthrift.
READY FOR ANYTHING.
"Hasn't my services been satisfactory?”
Rankin faltered out.
“Oh, yes: but I expect to do a lot As
traveling," returned Jackson. “I expect
to locate in Japan, and I've got to have
«ome one who understands the language."
From deepest despair, the face of the
butler changed instantly to delight and
hope.
"I speak Japanese very well, sir." he
said. "I was in service with two of them
for more than five years, and in case you
are thinking of China. I’m also —”
At this moment the telephone bell rang,
sparing Broadway the necessity of an

Jackson put up the receiver and for a
moment stumbled blindly about the room.
The result of his folly of the night before
was not confined to his engagement to the
elderly Mrs. Gerard alone.
"Twenty-three, twenty-three—and the
butler speaks Japanese,” he mumbled to
himself. “I can’t win a bet.” His eye
caught tile exposed leaf of his desk diary.
"And it's the thirteenth of the month,
too. I'll never forgjt this day.”
I'or the first time, since he had learned
that his dinner of the night before had
added just $2,323 to his indebtedness to
the world, he became conscious of the fact
that Rankin was still in the room, watch
ing him in a sort of dumb wonder. Broad
way pulled himself together.
"You pay the chief a month's salary and
let him go," he directed to the butler.
I ell him 1 don t like his cooking ativ
more.”
"Shall 1 engage a new man, sir?" asked
Rankin.
Jones’ answer was imended to be de
eisive as to bo,h tlle butler and the cook.
No, 1 won’t need any," he said. “Didn't
I just tell you that I expected to locate
in Egypt?”
Rankin smiled again. But as he was
determined this time to leave his master
no loophole of escape he took care to walk
toward the door as he answered:
“Egypt! Oh, what a delightful coun
try, sir. i lived there for two years. I'll
be of service to you. I'm sure, on the en
tire trip. I'll tell the chef sir."
But Jackson bad forgot! n tin- butler
long before he had passed through th
door.
"Twenty-three twenty-three." mut
tered Broadway, as he opened the door
of the room in which Wallace was deep
in a mass of bills, with rumpled .hair, try
ing to add the many small items that
made up the large whole. Wallace looked
lip with a frown as Jones stood on the
rug before the door. Broadway hastened
to give his information.
"When you get that total. Bob," he
said, "just add twenty-three hundred and
twenty-three dollars to it."
"What’s that for?” Wallace asked
sharply.
"Vintage—whatever that is," said
Jackson in a dry tone.
A series of bitter reflections from Wal
lace on a combination of $2,323 worth of
"vintage” with a spendthrift and an el
derly widow had driven Broadway from
thp room where Bob sat at the desk. He
was walking uneasily up ami down in his
"drawing room"—he called It that be
cause of sundry operations with works
performed there- when Rankin entered
with the card of a visitor who much de
sired to see Jackson. name Peter
Pembroke told him nothing, but as Ran
kin was quite positive that Pembroke was
a man of some importance Broadway di
rected that he be shown in.
A moment later a florid man with white
hair, carefully dressed in a well-fitting
morning suit and carrying the latest thing
in English headwear, strode briskly in.
“Ah, Mr. Jones, I'm Mr.' Pembroke.” he
said, and then waited, as though he ex
pected that the mere name would product
an effect. He seemed slightly disap- 1
pointed when Jones merely said:
“Sit right down. Mr. Pembroke. Make
yourself right at home."
The elderly, though keen-faced and
alert, man took a chair.
“Os course you expected me," he re
sumed with a return of his air of expecta
tion.
Broadway felt a sudden tug of tear at
his heart. Perhaps this might be the first
of bis creditors to run him.
“Expected you?” repeated Jackson
dully, while he waited for the other to
produce a bill or a court order.
But his caller did nothing of the sort.
His manner w’as still easy and friendly.
He resumed:
“Why, yes. Didn't Mr. Spotswood wire
you that I'd call?” Then, as he saw
that the name did not awaken any mem
ory in Jackson, he added: "Judge Spots
wood, attorney at law. Jonesville, Conn."
AN OLD FRIEND.
Relieved to find that the man was ap
parently not a creditor. Jones exclaimed:
“Oh, you mean old Judge Spotswood, of
Jonesville! Sure. I know him. 1 know his
whole family well. Why, he did not
wire me.” Then he remembered the
telegram which Rankin had brought
to him. but which he had slipped Into
his pocket. He brought it out. "Now.
what do you think of that? 1 forgot
to open it."
Broadway had hardly begun to read the
first words of the telegram when the
other arrested his attention by saying in
a warm tone:
"You have my deepest sympathy, Mr.
Jones. I knew your uncle well. A fine,
able man.”

Now she is rehearsing day and night,
but she manages to look well and very
happy, despite ger strenuou work.
She is the ■sort of a little girl that is
bound to be called cunning, or. worse
still, cute. I know she abominates both
adjectives, and is quite English in he
denunciation of them. Still, she is lit

Miss Day has a cunning little face -
dear me. there’s that wretched adjec

And this Is what she thinks about other
little women:
“The little woman lias one advantage
over the big one," said Miss Day, and
as she sat in a big chair, her feet
barely touched the ground. “Little
women stay youngei longer than big
"women do. If a little woman is clever,
she need never look old at all, provid

course there isn't so much to take care
of as there is of the six-footer.

“Fair Lillie’s smiles were full of wiles.
And won my heart completely.
I lazied in the sunshine
Os her friendship given sweetly.
But when she found 'twas time I had
To spend, instead of money.
The contents of my cup of joy
Were changed to gall from honey.
Though once tny wit had made a hit
And roused her girlish glee.*
Her mirth refused to be enthused,
She laughed not with, but at me.”
THOMAS F..” the author of this
unhappy little poem, adds a
postscript in which he sug
gests that his sad experience has un

poor but honest ehaps. Also that
“though capable of sitting up alone
with his dead,” he wishes for the sake
of other men that this little "obituary

The request of poor Thomas is grant
ed in the hope that its publication will
do more than‘warn other men against

when he sees the poem in black and

Lillie s Smiles
By Beatrice Fairfax
alone with his own dead. If he can do
that all through life he will show a
spirit of courage, of unselfishness, and
of self-reliance that few men display.
The world is full of women who "sit up
alone with their own dead" and make
no moan, and no one know s it, but it is
the natural tendency of a man to call
attention to his woe and demand that
the world pause while it gazes with sol
emn eyes at his sorrow.
Thomas Is letting a little incident
make him morbid. He has no dead to
sit up with beyond the dead that exist
in such moments of poetic frenzy as he
is experiencing. But he has the living
to deal with, and life to face.
And tiiat life will never amount to
much if he is content rvith having more
time to spend than money, and sitting
around writing poor poetry about it.
THE POINT OF VIEW.
Tlie editor was glad—yea, very glatf.
And he showed it. His countenance
glowed with generous gleams of glad
ness, and from his throbbing throat
poured peans of praise.
The somnolent staff (Cries of “No!
No!”) startled out of its slumbers,
huddled itself in a corner and anx
iously hazarded reasons for the strange
behavior of its chief. The office cat
sprang from its couch of mildewed
manuscripts and bristled bravely. And
a bloated ' 'uebottle. suddenly ceasing
to buzz, fell with a fatal flop on the
junior sub-editor.
Joy and consternation! But where
fore joy? Why consternation? Where
fore doth tin- mighty man rejoice at
heart ?
He lias just devoured the following
paragraph:
"We learn from our foreign corre
spondent that Mr. O’MacPunn and Mr.
A. de Virse, the famous poets and hu
morists, have been captured by brig
ands in the Balkans. A $20,000 ran
om is Hi uianded and should this not.
be forthcoming the chief of the gang
the notorious Boilinoilo —threatens
the usual alternative. Up to date the
ransom iias not been paid, and the out
look is regarded as very black."
And this is the cause of the editor's
gladness and, from an editorial point
of view, his gladness is justified!
