derstanding the other’s drift.
His visitor threw even more sympathy
* possible into his voice as he said:
Yes. Too bad that it should happen
at such a time. Very unfortunate, in

\s the best way of solving all this
mystery, Broadway returned to th* tele
gram. He read slowly to himself:

A PROPOSITION.
Jackson was now fully alive to tlie sit
■.atioti and very much phased.
"V’a’t a mfnut*. Who’s we? What
> : ju :m an by we?" he exclaimed.
Pembroke explained that he was the
■ oi I vice president of the largest cltew
' p gum company in America, the Con
ojlidated Chewing Gum Company of
kiuerica. and that his compar.j wanted
lie business of the Jones company and
.:. t:ad, t.iarks i:i aecoid with its plan of
mergT.g many small companies.
"And you’re willing to pay twelve hun,

Broadway.

"I can get my lawyers together within

Do you mean business?”
Jacksen spread out the scanty skirts of
his sack coat.
"Certainly I mean business,” Lq re
turned. "Don't I lock like a business
man? Look at this business suit! See,
I’ve got a pencil and everything.”
"You'll sign the articles today?”
“I - or twelve hundred thousand dollars
I'd sign a murderer s confession.”
Pembroke patted the younger man on
he shoulder, as he suggested:
"We’ll meet here at 2. Will you shake
hands on that?”

turned Broadway, with his old smile back
again.
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
belore 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 cam
trust as he crossed the street.
“He careful there. Don't get run down
by an automobile. For God's sake don’t
let anything happen now.” he called, then
as he realized that passersby were stop
ping to gsze him after his strange
words, he closed the door
"That's the first time I knew they
could telegraph from heaven.” was b's
joyous thought.
Gone now were all the worries and anx
ieties of Broadway J«ni-r. G qnally,
lit must be confessed, were y : s good reso
lutions. The old spending fever, the i
white light desire was upon him What
wouldn't lie do to Broadway! Rankin |
sougat his master to tell him that he had I
discharged the chef, and received an an
swer that dazzled him. He was not to
let the cook go. but was to rai.- Ills sal
ary.
j “H ' the way. 'tankin,” rippled on Jones,
; mentally s)-ending the contents of tbe en
i tire United States treasury. “AVbt.t am I
; paying you?”
The butler put into ids voice a tone that ,
i indicated his own belief that lie was re- !
i eeiving far too little
“Seventy-five a month,” h said.
“A hundred and seventy-five from now i
ion.” exclaimed his master "Havt you a
' fiat and a wife?”
■ Rankin had both.
“Like this furniture'."’
Rankin did.
| “It’s yours.”
; Rankin stood waiting for the golden
I stream to wet- him still furthe., v, ; ,en'
, his master told him to tun along and !
I not "bother a business man.” His first ;
act when he was alone was to tell long |
, distance to get Judge Spotswood, at j
I Jonesville. Conn. He put the receiver
: back on tiie hook and was waiting for
i the operator to cull him when Wallace
i entered briskly with a number of bills in
i his hand and a sheet of paper covered with
i the arithmetical processes by which he
. had arrived at the total.
■ “Well, I’ve figured this thing out as
best ( could. The grand total, as I make
it, is sixty-one thousand hundred
I and i-ighty-tw’O.”
SPENDING MONEY.
Ai Jackson's request he repeated this '
result and to his horror Broadway :
laughed.
"Spending money, spending money, my
boy,” he commented.
A\ ailace was. disgusted, hut before he
eo,ul<i speak Broadway was almost danc
ing up and down on the rug.
“Say, do you know what 1 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 m,esseng<r boy with golden wings
blew in through the window, handed me
this message and flew right hack to the
golden gates. Read it.”
Bob read the message.
"Is this u joke?" he said in the same
ter.e he had used when lie Imaru that
Jackson was deter - ined on marrying
Airs. Gerard.
Tiiis I’.ossibiiitj had not entered the j
l.ei'd of the spendt'urifi.
"if it is I'll make a reputation as a
gunman," lie said grl.i :>
Wallace was lost in wonder at tin- !
strange and sudden show- of gold which '
had suddenly descended.
“Why, this is the i lost wonderful tHfng I
that, has ever haul ailed." wrs his- view. ,
Breads’.ay was already busy with the |
plans o,' asp. ndtliriit.
“Do you know what I'm going to do'.’”
I.e went on. turning over in his mind the
tilings he wanted to do. “I'm going to
buy Brooklyn and <•!■ se 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 would. He
came while you were here in th other
room.” resumed Jackson, "and lie's com
ing back here at 2 o’clock.”
AVallace 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 tin best husi
nesss man ever." came from Broadway al!
in a breath.
Dismay spread over the rather lieavj
features of Wallace, fie pul in. sharply:
"And you accepted'.'"
“Os course: I’rn too much oi a business
man to let all that money stay out of
circulation."
“Sign an agreement ."' Wallace’s tone
would have i-iii throng ihc hardest steel.
Broadway was almost or, 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. bur speedily force anti 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?" lie 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 tool all your life and I am
going to make you brace up. You are
not going to accept that offer!"
"What do you want me to do?" inquired
Broadway, In the schoolboy tone, "turn
down a million two hundred thousand'.’”
”Y<'S.’’

ISS IDA ADAMS, ONE OF THE BEA UTIES IN ZIEGFELD’S "FOLLIES” AT THE MOULIN ROUGE, NEW YORK
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
$» I l’!T’f’ t;’k about soiinthing in-
4 tvifsting,” announced Miss Ida
Adams, as she curled herself
up into a Huffy little ball in the corner
of a large sofa ami refused definitely,
finally and up-and-down to air her
views on health and beauty.
Miss Adanis was chosen for the part
nf 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 pnd 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 beauty if she is in “The
Follies” -has this to sax to girls ;■ .

the all-engrossing occupation of fixing
the new flat:
“If I had a 10l of money and could
nave a home of My own.” said Miss
. Adams, "I would furnish it in one of
two ways—either in pure colonial style
or in tlie most elaborate fashion pat
terned after the French chateux. 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
and 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, whal 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 coveted over with little daubs of
paintings or pictures or photographs. I
mean to work here, for I am not always
going to be in musical comedy. 1 have
a lot. of ambition arid 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 ns that celebrated
bead-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 r 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 goes.
"Von can say from me that an ugly’
wallpaper in one’s bed room or sitting
room is a depressing arfl 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 ir 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 coloring in her cheeks and the
gleam in her brown hair. The sofa
coverings and bangings are on the same
tone in linen with a stamped design in
dull green, gold and violet.
‘‘l’ve seen a great many beautiful
places here and more especially
abroad.” Miss Adams, "and in all the
g ■at houses and show place.- on gets
tin I, 'lng .hat the beautiful tirngs :tie|
there because tin y are necessary
useful, as well as ornamental. Now. in
many American home- one has the
feeling that half the furniture is utterly
useless and is simply taking up valu
able space. I’ op’, ger. rally put much I
too much in tin i rooms, and you g.-t a
sensation of clutter and disorder. I j
would like everything that I own, to be I
useful, necessary and beautiful.
“I object to useless b.ie-a-brac just;
as I see no reason for keeping pi.-tures
on the walls, because somebody with
out taste or discretion, or possibly only
to get rid of them, bestowed them upon
your unwilling self. Every house
should have an attic for such gifts, and
nobody who lives in a flat should be
given anything unless she is allowed to
choose it herself. Now, wouldn’t that
be a lovely way of doing?”
And in view of the many’ superflui
ties which we will soon receive at
Christmas time, I think it would.
TWO SIDES TO IT.
Artist —Have you noticed that lung
hair makes a man look intellectual?
Friend —Well, it all depends. I've seen

The Ey es of Love
"Y TH say Love is Jblind, and the
y/y figure of Cupid is drawn
with a bandage around his
eyes. Blind —yes, because’ he does not
see what he 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.”
Tills 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,"
what a difference it would make in the
person of whom it is said!
A great many years ago, when Sun
day clothes were really Sunday clothes,
ami 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 tn
Sunday garments. “I know that you
are always honorable,” if said to a
friend in conviction and sincerity, will
make that friend honorable.
“1 hail believed you were too good to
do that” has saved many a person from
a repetition of a sin.
"It was just what I expected you to

A SCHOOL TEACHER’S GRATITUDE!
Geneva, lowa.—“l have been teaching school for some years and I
have neglected my health because I was too busy with my work to
attend to myself properly. I suffered greatly every month and was
on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“ I wrote to you about my condition and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and the Blood Purifier as you recommended.
These remedies have done wonders for me and I can highly and
widely recommend them to every suffering woman.”—Miss Minnib

A COLORADO GIRL’S CASE:
Montrose, Col.—“ I was troubled very much with irregular periods.
Sometimes two months would elapse. I suffered severe headache
was weak and nervous, could eat scarcely anything.
“I took both Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood
Pontier and the result was wonderful. I feel like another person.
‘■l think your remedies are the best on earth and cannot express
my thankfulness to yon for what they have done to me. I help my
neighbors when they are sick, and. I shall always recommend your
medicines.”—Miss Ella McCandless, Montrose, CoL
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will benefit any other girl who is
suffering with the same troubles ?
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? You may be sure that it can do
you no harm, and there are lots of proof that it will do
you much good.

do” has led many a sinner to repeat his
crime.
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, axid
happiness ceases.
“That which ye seek, ye win fin#.*
Seek for good nature inertead at ill
temper; seek for sunshine Instead of
gloom.
Seek for the good qualities even wheri
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 year
faith will give.
"She sharpest-sighted hunter fn 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 and an your
kindred.

dangerous degree, and no further set

years. The steeple sways when the
famous bells are rung, but this is con

strength. The copper-gilt dragon,
