"Now, I’ll put you out of the office— and throw you out of the plant—and drive you out of the town if I hear any more red fire talk out of you. I suppose you've been gabbing so much you've got them all excited over nothing. The trust Isn’t going to buy this plant. It isn’t for sale, and you go and tell the men I said so.” Twirling his hat in his hands Higgins humbly apologized to Josie. Then he ex claimed: “I 11 tell the boys what you say, Mr. Jones. What a relief it will be to them all. It's made a different man out of me already.” > Tears were in Higgins’ eyes and began to roll down his cheeks. “Well, what are you crying about?” asked Jones, gruffly but kindly at heart. "Because I’m .happy. It’s the first time I ve been happy in twenty years." blub bered Higgins, and went out the door. Broadway grinned. “Can you beat that?” said he. “He cries when he's happy. I wonder when he laughs. He’s a nice, cheerful little party. I'd like to he around him a whole lot." "Did you have st good night’s rest?" asked the girl. \\ ith a groan Broadway replied: My back is broken. Who named that hotel the. Grand ? There are men in prison for doing less than running a hotel like that.” Broadway grew bolder as he found that the girl's eyes did not produce that dazed state of mind and heart in which he had spent the latter part of the previous even ing. Now there seemed in her face noth ing hostile, nothing bitter, only a real friendliness and a desire to be helpful. After a time Josie asked quietly: "Have you thought of what we talked over last night?” Broadway laughed. "Have I thought of it?” he returned. Then, becoming grave in a moment, “All I dreamed about was poverty-stricken families crying out for food. Thousands of men. women and children passed me through the streets, out of the town and into a wild forest where there were noth ing but chewing gum trees. I could have slept this morning, but the, Elks started to rehearse for their minstrel show in the parlor; so I got up and or dered breakfast. Oh, a breakfast at the Grand'" Josie laughed and offered the new owner her financial statement. He didn’t want It, he said, as Wallace had prom ised to look after that part of the busi ness. Wallace would be in very shortly, but he had gone to the barber shop. "Thank heaven. I shave myself," con cluded Broadway. The girl asked about the presence In the town of Pembroke, and Broadway explained that Wallace had given him until 11 o'clock and had named a price of a million and a half. Almost the old look came into the girl's eyes. "But you sent word to the men—” she began. Broadway reassured her: “Don't you be afraid, 1 meant just what I said to Higgins. I don’t mind telling you when I came here yesterday my Intention was to sell this business and get it off my hands at any price or sacrifice, but Carnegie couldn’t buy it this morning if he offered me every dol lar he’s got In the world. Wallace and I sat up talking about it till 2 In the morning. I told him all you said, and you've convinced not only me but Wal lace. too, and he’s -some business man. He thinks with you—and me—” Broad way almost blushed at this juxtaposition of the two personal pronouns—"that the right thing for me to do is to stick right here and put up a fight for these people the same as my uncle did." . There was a warmth of feeling in Josie's lbw tone as she said: SHE SMILES. “I knew you would, Mr. Jones.” And then she smiled. Broadway was almost dumfounded. Her smile of the previous evening had droused a very definite remorse in him. Now it seemed a different smile—a promise that the girl would believe in him, did believe in him, and at the same time an intima tion that she felt that he was acting solely front his own better nature, with out outside pressure of any sort. But it was not entirely the effect of that new smtlle that made Broadway stam mer and hesitate as he floundered on: “I don’t know anything about busi ness —and I don't know anything—l never did a day's work in my life, for the simple reason that I never had to. The only thing that I’ve entered into in the last five years is a contest to see w;ho could stay up the latest. I never did anything good, because I never had anything good to do. What I've needed all along was a—what I’ve needed was— ’’ Broadway was now frantically fumbling at one of the side pockets of his cdlit, the pocket which bulged out a little. “What I've needed all along was an in centive-something to spur me on—to force me tev a realization that an in centive was needed to bring about a realization that an incentive would rea lize —” Josie was now watching him in wonder, for. it Was apparent that em barrassment had not caused this strange wallowing verbally. "I’ve needed" Broadway stopped abruptly, then added: "What the duce have I needed? Can you beat that! I knew that thing by heart when 1 left the hotel. Won’t you read the rest of it?” And he threw upon the table before the girl the paper which he had been struggling to draw from his pocket. For a moment both laughed, and then suddenly the girl's face became grave as she realized Broadway's anxiety to make an Impression upon her had gone so far that he had committed ft to mem ory. She blushed, and then put the thought from her. "It took me three hours to write that thing.” said Broadway, who apparently did not realize what his act had signified, “and I knew I'd forget it.” Then a moment later he himself blushed. He was still staring at the girl, and the Imperious eyes of the night before had dropperl under his gaze when a tremen dous burst of cheering came from the plant. The man and the girl stared guiltily, as though the men outside had surmised what was passing through the minds of these two and were showing a strong liking for It • GOOD NEWS. Before either of the young people had fully recovered their accustomed mental states the door was fiung open and Judge Spotswood, who had come down to the plant with his wife and Clara, entered. He was followed by his wife and daugh ter. "Great Scott!" exclaimed the judge. "Talk about excitement! The whole plant's in an uproar!" Continued in Next Issue. Beauty and Personal Magnetism Make Elsie Fergu- By Margaret Hubbard Ayer. WHEN a girl is asked whether she’d rather be beautiful or have a magnetic personality, unless she’s under sixteen or a perfect gump, she decides at o«tce for the mag netic personality. The combination of both beauty and personal magnetism with brains added, spells feminine genius. Nobody will deny that Miss Elsie Ferguson has beauty, brains and per sonal magnetism, and as we all hope and believe that the first of these can be had for work or rnjiiey, I asked her to say whether it was possible to attain the quality that we call "magnetic,” the thing that draws us instinctively and unconsciously to another's personality. “Is it possible to define what mag netism is?” said Miss Ferguson. "The thing that attracts us to other women is their personal charm, and no one has given a better description of charm, that most illusive quality, than Barrie in ‘What Every .Woman Knows.’ ‘Charm is the/bloom ort a woman,’ he says. When They Fail. "Many people deliberately try to be magnetic, to fascinate or attract. Girls and young society women often make a stupendous effort at exerting this pow er. and it would seetn as if the more effort they make the less result they obtain. "The noticeable effort that is made to attract another person Instead of show ing real personal magnetism generally Irritates or confuses the person who is to be attracted. "There can be nothing forced or arti ficial about the magnetic person. "Some people have defined personal magnetism as perfect health, but 1 should say that was vitality rather than magnetism. Vitality attracts one un less it is too overpowering. You have seen persons with tremendous health and strength who give of these quali ties to every one about them, and oth ers with the same characteristics who take the vitality from other people and almost sap the air of its life-giving qualities. “I should say that personal magnet ism was a kind of an electric current through which the person gives to oth ers the best of his mental and spiritual powers. "If you have no reserve fund of your own, nothing in your heart or brain that is worth giving, the electric cur rent is useless and no matter bow strong the person’s vitality, there is ne real magnetism there. Without Effort. "The magnetic person gives and gives of herself or of himself, but w ithout ef fort, or at least without noticeable ef fort, though as in the case of an act ress, for Instance, there is a conscious endeavor to charm an audience by sending along those electric currents, the very best one has to give." ; "Rather exhausting, I should think," said the writer, as she looked at Miss Ferguson's slender, almost delicffte physique, the small oval face, with the earnest far-seeking blue eyes, shaded by a mask of reddish-blonde hair, care lessly twisted up in a big knot. Miss Ferguson had come in from a long re hearsal, and dad in a black tea gown; that accentuated her youth and ethe- Do You Know— According to scientists, nature’s coal forming process took eight million years to complete.

Shopping is most demagnetizing to me. 1 return from it a complete wreck.” “What do you do, then, to replenish the exhausted fountain of personal magnetism?” Recuperating. “I think you will laugh when I tell you,” said Miss Ferguson, somewhat shyly. "These help met to recuperate; to charge the electric battery." Miss Ferguson waved her hand around the room, pointing to the quan tity of lovely flowers that seem t<l grow in every available spot.
