Again Broadway fell into that trance
wh'ch thia girl < aused seemb giy at her
will. She called the Judge and his wife,
made her farewell*, and tl -n. while Jack
son was In the midst of his daze, she
made him promise to call at the factory
the next morning when she would go
over the hooks and figures with him 11“
promised. with cverj intention of keep
ing that promise Then Just before she
left she walked up to Jackson and, tak
ing a small package from her purse,
hgnded >t to him Upon h< r face was
the most exquisite humor that Jackson
lad -ver s> • n He had not known that
there were g’rls like this. They did not
pass down Broadway.
"Oh. I ftirg.t sh< said, her word*
edged daintily In the humor of her pfq- |
nant mood ' 1 don't think that you've
seen this. It is out latest Jones’ Pep-
sin Wafers!”
Jones took the gum just as at that
moment he would have taken a bomb
bad she offered it to him
"Good night," she said, and was gone.
The Judge ;nd his wife watched Broad
way as he sat ijood'ly In a chair at the
table. Suddenly Broadway took tip the
little package. broke it open, and sllpp- d ;
n wafer into his mouth, an expression !
of rapture and seif disgust upon his face I
He chewed it and then spat It out.
The Judge strode toward him.
"Well, how’d she strike you?” <•
asked
“An awful blow.' said Broadway
brusquely.
"What? An awful blow?'
"No," Broadway- went on in profuse
explanation. "I didn’t say an awful
blow'. I said awful blue, awfully blue.”
"You're awfully blue?” asked the
Judge.
"Wrong again." was the answer. "1 i
mean her eyes are awfully blue the
bluest eyes 1 ever saw."
Broadway stared before him. a glum ■
expression on his face He appeared in
deed as if "an awful blow" had been
struck upon him. one that might upset
his ordinary viewpoint He was in a
mood so deep that he was 1 no longer
conscious of the Judge. The latter went
nut softly from the room with his wife,
a suspicion of something in his mind.
This much he anew at least: His guest
would be the better for a few moments
alone.
His eyes still on vacancy, Jackson sat
at the table for fully five minutes Then
he stared at the gtrm on the table and
picked-up the little broken packages of
wafers.
"Jones’ Pepsin,” lie muttered. "I'll
give It to my children anil they’ll give it
to their children —”
He shook bls bead as though trying
to settle his ideas He was still staring
■.. lead of him when another five minutes
later Wallace broke into the room. His
once boon companion did not note 1:1s
mood, but went excitedly to the point.
"Kay, young •How,” be almost shouted. I

know its purport. But the mention of the
large sum did not arouse the old longing

seat at the table
“Bob.” he said, slowly. “I can't sell
this plant.”
“What!’*
Already Broadway seemed to see eyes
that were sometimes blue and some- '
times gray, already he saw a face with
a smile like that of the dawn of a bet- ‘
ter day Already a feeble counterpart
of that smile was upon his face.
“Why, think what I’d be selling ” he
said, the smile still lighting up his fea
tures. and his eyes seeking a definite spot
in the empty room about him. ‘‘The
thing that my grandfather worked for
and gave to my r father—the thing he
worked for and gave to me —the thing I

BROADWAY MAKES A SPEECH.

est of the suits Rankin has brought in
response to a long distance telephone call.
Jos’e Richards was putting the finishing
touches to a careful financial statement
in the private offices of the .tones plant.
She hnd underscored the red in the last
balance, when Sam, t judge's fat son, ]
Who was office boy, .•.enounced to her
that Higgins, the mebu < . .-lv foreman of
the plant, wanted a few words with her.
I She directed Sammy to show hii-i in.

1 Broadway Jones’ uncle and his “handv

plant during the regime of th** la o Jones

“You say the young fellows stopping

THE ANGRY FOREMAN.
“1 believe he registered under another

Higgins, yet feeling that he and the men
had some right to information, since the
plant was. as Higgins said, their living
and their work
“Registered under another name’.” re
peated Higgins. “He did that because
he’s a sneak. He knows it's a rotten
thing he’s doing and he’s aftild of the
consequences. The men are not in a very

there’s going to be trouble around here
before the day's over, unless we get some
satisfaction and find out what's he’s go

The Danish postmaster general has

to be sold to the parents of every new
born child who Ims the gift of sight by
tlie nurse attending the mother. Par

think fit for the luck penny, which is
i worth only a half penny, and bears the
I device, “The child seeing the light for

child who will never see.”
I The spy mania has put at least one
i German in the way of making a good

If you want to know whether this is

clever imitations.
But we had neglected the important
subject of health. As a matter of fact
all interviews about the health and
looks of young stars should be given
out by their mothers. There is noth
ing so interes'ing In the moderfi stagt
ns the evolution of the stage mother.
Miss Blanche’s is an up-to-date per
son. who looks to be her daughter's
elder sister, who manages daughters
career, and looks after daughter’s
health with the commanding efficiency
which is the watchword of the progres
sive modern woman. So while Miss
Blanche answered my question she kept
one eye on her charming mother, and
Mrs. Blanche nodded approval as her
daughter said:
Essential to Health.
“I think tlie most essential thing to
health is plenty of sleep and fresh air.
I never have a cold or throat trouble
of any kind, for the good reason that 1
never stay in places wnere the ventila
tion is bad, and do not spend hours in
smoky restaurants, for instance. Noth
'ng could be worse for the voice than
remaining for a long time In places
where the air is vitiated and full of to
bacco smoke, and you know the voice
is a sort of register of health.
“Another reason why I never have a
cold Is because I don’t wear high col
lars. Year in and year out I wear
Dutch necks or low turndown collars
on m\ frocks, and my throat and neck I
ar< hardened so that the change of at
mosphere doesn’t affect me. I never
wear fu: s tight around my neck either.
A good many people catch cold that
way. getting used to the warm fur and
then being unable to withstand a cold

about the experience of a gjrl friendless

got shelter at a fine place for girls,

worth half a million dollars.
