Do Your Christmas Shopping Now, When There Are Six Willing Clerks to Every Good-Tempered Shopper. Don’t Wait Till It’s the Other Way Round
Do your Christmas shopping early! It's an old, old cry>. but it’s a good one. 'Course
there are a few of those wonder women who began shopping for their Christmas 'way
last spring, about the time the first ruddy-breasted robin was flat-hunting in all the elm
tree tops! But she's a rare one. There are lots and lots of little women trundling away
merrily in a rocker by the window nearest the street, where they can keep an eye on
BROADWAY JONES a Thrilling Story §3 By Bertrand Babcock
Based on George M. Cohan’s Play Now
Running In New York.
TODAY S INSTALLMENT.
Before Jackson could express himself
on the feature of industrial life in Jones
ville, the judge’s man, Dave, entered
and handed to the judge five cigars. The
latter looked at them.
“See here,'-Dave,” he observed, "there
are only five cigars here.” /
Jackson had lighted one of the cigars,
while Wallace put a cigarette into his
mouth. Dave answered Spotswood:
"They won’t give six at the drug store,”
he said. “Ife says they're five cents
straight even if you buy a hundred.”
The judge and the two young men
laughed as the judge said contritely:
"I thought maybe you’d think that
they were tenners.”
"I knew mine was a baritone the mo
ment I lit it,” said Jacksop.
THE WILL.
As the hired man left, Sam, the judge s
fat son, came In, and with his hat on
his head, put some papers on the table
before his father.
"That’s your uncle's will,” Spotswood
told Jackson. "You can take this copy
along and read it when you have time.”
(Then noting Sammy.) "This is Sammy.
You would hardly know him, would you,
Jackson?”
Boys had always appealed to Broadway
and he smiled on the fat and . iitlcn Sam
my.
“Well, Sammy,” lie said, "you haven't
grown very tall, but you’ve got pretty
wide.”
“Napoleon Bonaparte was short and
stout,” was Sam’s glib response. "Well,
what are you laughing at? He was! I
seen his picture.”
Wallace joined In the laughter at Sam's
expense and the latter turned to him in
stantly as he saw the cigarette hanging
from the advertising man’s mouth.
"If you keep on smoking cigarettes,
you’ll weaken your brain," he said
sharply to Wallace
In an Instant his father was on his feet,
saying sternly: "Samuel, don’t you know
better than to say such a thing.”
The boy looked his parent straight in
the eye.
"Well, that's what you told me, pa,
when you caught me behind the barn,”
he mumbled.
Samuel was escorted from the room
while the others laughed over the Inci
dent. As they were still bantering the
judge over the gigantic ambitions of his
son, the doorbell rang and the Judge went
to answer it. The moment he had left
the room Broadway turned bruskly to
Wallace.
"You see.” be said, with a trace of bit
terness, "nothing left but the plant. I've
got to sell!”
Not entirely did Wallace agree.
"Yes, but not at their price. Didn’t
you hear? The plant showed a profit last
veer without any advertising.”
"I can’t afford to take a chance. This
Is Thursday. He said he’d have to know
by Saturday noon.”
"That’s a bluff.”
"You don't seem to realize the enormity
of the amount.” exclaimed Broadway,
with visions of lobster palaces. "Twelve
hundred thousand dollars!”
With a pitcher and two glasses on a
tray Mrs. Spotswood interrupted their
conversation, it was "nice cold lemon
ade." She had made It herself and hadn’t
brought any for the judge, as he didn't
drink it.
Their glasses half emptied, Wallace and
Jackson stared at her.
"I put a little drop of whisky in it."
she exclaimed. "The judge would have a
tit if he km w it was in the house. He’s
temperance crank." .’♦lf confided, and
left th r ■ "1.
When Si'o .-,vo. . -urned he explained
that a .'■tram-'-r ’ ml inquired at the door
I<r Jackson. I potswood had not admit
ted that be v.as inside, but the man hud
in Ire,l that ire .was and said that he
would not wait for him at the hotel. It
was not Pembroke, as the judge had met
Pembroke.
“It's Mrs. tierard's lawyer,” Broadway
whispered in an aside to Wallace.
THE GIRL ARRIVES.
Wallace was sure that it was not. and
that such a supposition was foolish, but
he suggested that he himself go to the
hotel and see who the man was. He
started to tb< door to carry out his sug
gestion, when Clara entered with a de
mure young woman clad in a trim tailor
made gown and a plain but becoming hat.
The girl strrod quietly, self-posressed?
while the judge gave Wallace dlr ctions
for getting to the hotel he had ju t left.
Something In Clara Spotswood's face told
him that she would like to point out the
way to him, and so he pretended to mis
understand the directions. Clara at once
volunteered, saying that she was going
that way anyway. So Wallace and
Clara set out, the young advertising man
with a manner more jaunty than he had
worn in months.
The judge led the young Woman, who
had remained near the door, toward Jack
son. Her eyes rested upon Broadway's
somewhat worn face, and that youth re
ceived the first shock of his life of this
unusual character. The eyes seemed to
him to be blue, then they shifted to gray.
Her yellow hair, escaping from either
side of her hat, framed the eyes in a
background of harmony. I'pon her face
Jackson thought for a moment that there
was a bitterness, a contempt for the
man she was beholding for the first time.
He could not be sure, and when he looked
again there was absolutely nothing in the,
face except a grave interest. Beneath
the calm, piercing of those blue-gray
eyes Broadway lowered his own. There
was a sound of drumming In his ears.
The voice of the judge, seemed to come
from a great distance, as, forcing him
self into the attention of Broadway, It
I broke the strange influence over Jackson.
"This is the little lady I’ve been tell
j ing you about,” said the judge, "Miss
Richards. And this gentleman is Mr.
Jones, Josie."
Through force of a will that sometimes
seemed to be slumbering within him,
Jackson resumed his normal manner, if
not his normal poise.
"Delighted!” he exclaimed, "I've been
hearing a lot about you, Miss Richards.”
Again the girl's eyes met his with that
strange penetration. Broadway almost
shuddered at the Icy gleam he seemed to
see there.
"And I have heard —much—about you, ’
she said.
And then a strange thing happened to
Broadway Jones. He saw her very words,
"And I have heard —much—about you"
in his Imagination set in the incandes
cent bulbs of Broadway, so that closing
his eyes he could read them And about
each word traveled in a colling, writhing
circle, was a little flash of fire, a little
glowing center of hostility.
WHAT BLUE-GRAY EVES DID.
From this second shock. Which ema- |

as rapidly as he had partially recovered
from the first. In a sort of dream he
heard the voice of the judge in the cus
tomary civilities of Jonesville to the visit
or. He heard without realizing until later
that the judge had explained to the girl
jhat he had sent for her that she might
explain matters at the plant to the new
owner, and that probably she wouldn't
need the books to give Jackson a good
idea of the. financial arrangements.
During the judge's remarks to the girl
she had turned her eyes from Jackson, so
that while he gradually began to become 1
the old Broadway, still lie did not dare
scan her too closely. His complete res- !
toration to his usual glib point of view I
came, however, when Spotswood said:
"The old gentleman told me you showed
a profit of about forty thousand dollars
last year Is that right?”
The thought of forty th usaud dollars
was a tofilc to the spendthrift, lie heard
in fancy a headwaiter at Speary's turn
ing away a Chicago millionaire from the
table in the corner by the window, just
because Broadway 1-. d made a Certain
signal to hint.
Tlie girl answered ' le judge:
“Oh. it yvas more than that."
Fur the first time, since the girl had
looked at him in that strange way Jack
son let his own eyes rest upon her face.
"Oh, it was, was it?” he exclaimed ea
gerly.
The girl did not look at him.
VERY REMARKABLE.
Impersonally she remarked to the two i
men:
"It was nearer fifty thousand if 1 re
member rightly.”
Still watching the girl witli a shade of
apprehension, Broadway- said:
"Well, that wasn’t so lad, was it?"
The eyes, indeed the whole face, were
turned toward Broadway. He was sur
prised to find that the face bore only a
gentle expression, though the low, cleat
tones of her voice still carried to him ar
undercurrent as she said:
"Why. no; considering tlie fact that wi
were fighting the trust, I think it wax
perfectly remarkable."
Jackson found himself seized witli th*
mad idea of agreeing in ail details witli
positively everything the owner of those
eyes might have to say. So half in pro
test to himself he returned:
"You do?” But try as ho would he
couldn’t keep a tinge . f exclamation
from his tone.
The girl chose, however, to consider ills
words as a question.
“Why, yes; don't you?” she said.
“Yes, 1 think it’s all right,” returned

The girl, if she was conscious of her

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am over seventeen and for the
past two years I have been very
popular with both the young men
and young women with whom I
have become acquainted. I have
been "keeping company” with a
young man of 22' for the past four
months. I find that I could not
care enough for him to marry him,
as he contemplates, within another
three years. How shall I tell him
that 1 could never be faithful to
him? ROSE.
You told me, whom you do not know:
you should have no difficult)’ in telling
him. It will be a kindness that is his
due, and I hope you will no longer de
lay the confession.
THE CONTRARY HEART.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have kept company with a nice
young man for about six months,
and until lately have thought a lot
of him. My mother likes him so
well that she talks about him from
morning until night, so now I really
believe 1 am beginning to hate h(m.
I try not to feci that way, but I
can not help it when I hear it so
often. R. E. G.
Your grief is really amusing, from ar
imper.aonal viewpoint. Your mothei
likes him and you love him, but you
are beginning to lovo him less through
hearing so much of her praises of him.
It is to your mother I make my re
ply: You do not know the contrary
heart of a maid, my dear woman, and
win defeat your heart’s desire unless
you curb your enthusiasm.
DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
T am a young lady of eighteen
years.
1. When and how should a girl
ask a man to call upon her?
2. Should she have more friends
at her home when he does call?
3. What is the proper way of In
troducing a girl and man? Should
you mention his name first?
I. G. T.
So much depends on the length of
acquaintance, the attitude of the girl’s
parents, her environment, etc., that no
rule has ever been known to fit all
cases. •
1. If her parents approve, she may
ask him to call some evening. And it
would be proper to give him the invita
tion when he has shown by his atten
tions that he cares for it.
2. That Is optional witli the girl. He
may enjoy meeting others on his first
call, but if he cares for her he prefers
to see her alone.
3. Always mention the lady's name
first.
