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.

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 SUPERIOR SERVICE via NEW ORLEANS to Louisiana, Texas, Old ancbNe’v Mexico, Arizona and California Winter Tourist Excursion Fares On Sale Daily November Ist to April 30th, 1913.

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.
