Pembroke explained that lie was the second vice president of the largest chew ing gum company in America, the Con solidated Chewing Gum Cumpany of America, and that his company wanted the business of the Jones company and its trademarks in accord with Its plan of merging many small companies. •' tnd you're willing to pay twelve hun dred thousand dollars for it!” exclaimed Broadway.

Pembroke, now that he had gained the point he had been denied by the boy's uncle for so many years, was eager to be off and get his lawyers to Broadway’s house in the two hours that would elapse before 2 o clock. So he hurried to the door. “Two o’clock—don't forget—2," he said, frankly. "Twelve—don't forget twelve,” coun tered Jackson—the $1,200,000 being the only thing in his mind. 'Good bye,” called Pembroke heartily, as he opened the/street door. To the stoop outside went Broadway, watching the vice president of the gum trust as he cressed the street. 'Be careful there. Don’t get run down by an automobile. For God's sake don’t let anything hapj>en now,” he called, then as he realized that passersby were stop ping to gaze at him after his strange words, ’he closed the door. “That’s the first time I knew they could telegraph from heaven,” was his joyous thought. Gone now were all the worries and anx ieties of Broadway Jones. Gone equally, it must be confessed, were his good reso lutions. The old spending fever, the white light desire was upon him. What wouldn't he do to Broadway! Rankin sought his master to tell him that he had discharged the chef, and received an an swer that dazzled him. He was not to let the cook go, but was to raise his sal ary. "By the way, Rankin.” rippled on Jones, mentally spending the contents of the en tire United States treasury, "What am I paying you?” The butler put into his voice a tone that indicated his own belief that he was re? ceiving far too little. "Seventy-five a month,” he said. "A hundred and seventy-five from now on,” exclaimed his master, “Have you a flat and a wife?" Rankin had both. . “Like this furniture'.'' Rankin did. "It's yours.” Rankin stood waiting for the golden stream to wet him still further, when his master told him to run along and not "bother a business man.” His first act when he was alone was to tell long distance to get Judge Spotswood, at Jonesville, Conn. lie put the receiver back on the hook and was waiting for the operator to call him when Wallace entered briskly with a number of bills in his hand and a sheet of paper covered with the arithmetical processes by which he had arrived at the total. “Well, I’ve figured this thing out as best I could. The grand total, as I make it, is sixty-one thousand four hundred and eighty-two.” SPENDING MONEY, At Jackson’s request he repeated this result and to his horror Broadway laughed. "Spending money, spending money, my boy,” He commented. Wallace was disgusted, but before he could speak Broadway was almost danc ing up and down on the rug. "Say, do ybu know what I am going to do from now on?” he shouted, rather than exclaimed. “I'm going to make the loudest noise that's been heard on Broad way since Dewey came home from the Spanish war.” “Have you gone crazy again?” snapped Wallace. "Do you know what happened after you went to add up those penny ex penditures of mine?" continued Jackson. “A messenger boy with golden wings blew in through the window, handed me this message and flew right back to the golden gates. Read it.” Bob read the message. "Is this a joke?" he said in the same tone he had used when he heard that Jackson was determined on marrying Airs. Gerard. This possibility had not entered the head of the spendthrift. “if it is I’ll make a reputation as a gunman,” he said grimly. Wallace was lost in wonder at the strange and sudden shower of gold which had suddenly descended. “Why, this is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened,” was his view. Broadway was already busy with tlie -plans of a spendthrift. “Do you know what I’m going to do?” he went on, turning over in his mind the things he wanted to do. “I’m going to buy Brooklyn and close It up. Say, did you ever hear of the Consolidated Gum Company?” "Certainly; they're the biggest adver tisers in America." “Pembroke, the second vice president, came as the judge said he w-ould. He came while you were here in th other room,” resumed Jackson, “and he’s com ing back here at 2 o’clock.” Wallace was suddenly suspicious of what his friend might have done in the hands of an astute business man such as Pembroke. “What for?” he demanded, quickly. “To bring me a check for twelve hun dred thousand. I’ve sold him Jones’ Pep sin. Don’t you think I'm the best busi ness man ever?” came from Broadway all in a breath. Dismay spread over the rather heavy features of Wallace. He put in, sharply; “And you accepted?” “Os course; I’m too much of a business man to let all that money stay out of circulation." "Sign an agreement?" Wallace's tone would have cut through the hardest steel. Broadway was almost on the point of apologizing. Then he took a sudden men tal brace as he answered: NOT TOO LATE. “Not yet.” A flitting shadow of delight appeared for a moment in the eyes of the advertising man, but speedily force and determina tion took its place. “And you’re not going to." he said, fairly glaring into the face of Broadway Jones, whose shoulders slumped. “Why not?" he asked in the tone of a schoolboy receiving a punishment. Wallace’s force was sweeping Broad way off his morning-after unsteady feet, as he continued vigorously: “Now don't give me any argument. You've been a fool all your life and I am going to make you brace up. You are not going to accept that offer!" "What do .vou want me to do?” inquired Broadway, in the schoolboy tone, "turn down a million two hundred thousand?”* "Yex “Not on your biography.

NEW YORK. By Margaret Hubbard Ayer. ET’S talk about something in- I teresting," announced Miss Ida Adams, as she curled herself up into a fluffy little ball in the corner of a large sofa and refused definitely, finally and up-and-down to air her views on health and beauty. Miss Adams was chosln for tile part of the Commere in "The Follies of 1912” because she speaks beautiful French, for she has lived a long time abroad and. has caught much of the dainty for eign atmosphere and ways of the French girl. She is furnishing a new home for herself, and when I saw her her mind was full of a number of things such as window curtains and wallpaper and gray enamel paint and rugs. Naturally, we drifted into the subject of home decorating, and Miss Adams—who is a very intelligent young woman besides being a beauty; for. of course, she is a beaut?’ if she is in "The Follies”—has this to saj’ to girls and women who are just now engaged in Cut down the cost of living LADIES, it is in your power to reduce * the outlay for food in your households and feed your families better.

As I am furnishing a four-room apartment, I can only let my imagination run riot as to what I would do if I could. In the meantime, there are some things that seem to me absolutely necessary apd that are generally totally disre garded by* the home decorator. Some Household Hints. "I don’t care how small a place is, if a woman has any intelligence and taste she can make her home beautiful and restful. And, what is very important, she could give a sense of spaciousness even in a small apartment. "I think there is nothing more dis tracting to the attention than a wall that is covered over with little daubs of paintings or pictures or photographs. I mean to work here, for 1 am not always going to be in musical comedy. I have a lot of ambition and I hope some day to do some good work in legitimate drama. “I don't especially fancy myself as Salome, one of the dances I am doing now.” Here Miss Adams gave a fasci nating and exceedingly clever bur lesque of herself as that celebrated head-bedecked contortionist: but she went on quickly: “Let's get back to a more decorated subject. Let me see, where was I? Oh, yes; walls. I am quite certain you can't concentrate your mind or do any real studying or work in a room that is ugly to look at and whose walls look like a spotted leopard, with innumerable foolish and unneces sary things stuck upon them. “People seem to get very cheap wall papers and try to hide the offending color beneath countless posters and pictures. I'd rather pay a little more for my wallpaper and have a satisfac tory tone and color. You have to look at it every day in the year, and the color of your walls have a lot to do with your mood and with the way you look. "There, now I am talking health and beauty. I knew you would get me on to that eternal subject. Well, here govs. “You can say from me that an ugly wallpaper in one's bed room or sitting room is a depressing and unhealthy in fluence. There, doesn't that sound wise, though? But it's a fact. Her Idea of Gifts. “Suppose, for instance, you were a brunette with a tendency to look sal low in the morning, and you had your apartment papered in green; that sick ly green that is so popular nowadays. If you looked in the mirror in a room like that, you’d get all the green re flection in your own face, and you'd begin your day by hating yourself, which is the worst thing you can do for your health, isn’t it?" Miss Adams’ own sitting room is done in a grayish-fawn color, that is espe cially suited as a background for her charming young self. It brings out the dainty coloting in her cheeks and the gleam in her brown hair. The sofa coverings and hangings are on the same tone in linen with a stamped design in dull green, gold and violet. “I’ve seen a great many beautiful places here and more especially abroad," Mbs Adams, “and in all the great houses and show places one gets , the feeling that the beautiful things an there because they ate necessary and useful, as well as ornamental. Now. in many American homes one has the feeling that half the furniture is utterly useless and is simply taking up valu able space. People generally put much I too much in their rooms, and you get a sensation of clutter and disorder. I would like everything that I own, to be useful, necessary and beautiful. "I object to useless bric-a-brac just as I see no reason for keeping pictures on the walls, because somebody with out taste or discretion, or possibly only to get rid of them, bestowed them upon your unwilling self.

Blind —yes, because he does not see what lie does not like; but the sharpest-sighted hunter in the universe is Love for finding what he seeks, and only that.”- —Ralph Waldo Emerson. And he seeks perfection. And away back in the beginning, of things Some One said, “That which ye seek ye will find." This little characteristic of Cupid would make life pleasanter if adopted by others than the lover. If girls would seek perfection in their friends; if they would look for virtues •instead of faults; if they would believe in the best in every one, instead of ex pecting the worst! If it became a universal habit to say of a friend: “He is too honorable to do that,” in stead of saying, “He is none too good,” w’hat a difference it would make in the person of whom it is said! A great inanj’ years ago, when Sun day clothes were really Sunday clothes, and sacred for that day. it was found that the world behaved better when it had its Sunday garments on. I claim that when we give our friends to understand that our opinions of them are exalted, it clothes their souls in Sunday garments. "I know that you are always honorable,” if said to a friend in conviction and sincerity, will make that friend honorable. “I bad believed you were too good to do that” has saved many a person from a repetition of a sin.

This little desire in the eye that makes one find perfection in a lover is not beyond cultivation by those to whom a lover is yet to come. Neither is it beyond the power of those to whom Love is a story of yesterday. Every one has a friend. The little habit of looking for perfection in that friend is of greater mutual benefit than anything in the universe. The friend becomes an ideal and tries to live up to it. The one who thinks the best of that friend gets into the habit of thinking well of others, and grows In moral strength accordingly. This little habit Cupid teaches of seeking perfection is the foundation of perfect love. It is the superstructure of perfect happiness. It is when disappointment and irrita tion creep in and one begins to look for faults that faults become apparent, and happiness ceases. “That which ye seek, ye will find.” Seek tor good nature instead of til temper; seek for sunshine instead of gloom. Seek for the good qualities even when the bad are most glaring. Seek, know ing that they exist, and you will find they do exist, and need just the en couragement to develop them that your faith will give. "She sharpest-sighted hunter in the universe is Love for finding what he seeks, and only that.” And a wider interpretation of that word “love" means the sentiment you have for your friends, your associates, your casual acquaintances, and all your kindred. preacher was annoyed by the sound of whispering coming from the semi darkness under one of the galleries. At last he paused in his sermon and de clared: "If the young couple making love under the gallery do not come to me in the vestry before service next Sunday morning, I will name them to the church.” It was a chance shot, but next Sunday he found twenty couples awaiting him in the vestry!
