■ You shut up," retorted Sammy. “You
don’t understand me. There's more to me
Tan you think. I've got a brain, I have,
fil surprise you all some day. see if I
~n t." And Sam left the room in fat,
. Ting anger.
b.sle entering, fell into the conversa
with the three. Wallace told Josie
hat after he had gone over the matter
xvltli Jackson he himself had become thor
ighly eonvtnced that the best thing and
• . only thing for Broadway to do was
hold to the plant and fight it out.
After Clara had rejoined her mother in
works, Wallace talked frankly with
. “bandy man” of the Jones family.
A proposition that will show a profit
'. ,1* this did last year,” he said, “with
any advertising, is wonderful. I know
what I'm talking about. I'm with' the
biggest advertising firm in New York
city.”
Josie sighed as she went on:
But we couldn't afford to advertise
except in a small way, and the big firms
wouldn’t handle a petty contract.”
“Why didn’t you try the Empire peo
ple?”
"We did. They refused to handle us at
all. They do most of the Consolidated
work. I fancy that’s the reason."
"Oh, no; we don’t make that kind of
agreements,’’ answered Wallace promptly.
No corporation dictates to us. The Em
l ire’s my firm. My father is the pres
ident.”
Josie got for him her correspondence
with the Empire firm. It was as she had
-ii. Wallace asked permission to use
the Jones factory telephone, and put in
a call for his father, Grover Wallace, at
l is downtown New York office.
Surrounded by the happy and proud
Spotswoods. Broadway Jones, his chest
entered the office, preening himself
after the fashion of the most successful
campaign orator who has just made a
bit. For in his own mind proadway did
not know himself.
The judge slapped him on the back.
"My boy,” he said, “IT'S the greatest
day this town's ever seen.”
SOME PRAISE.
"Oh, 1 don't know,” said Broadway, in
feigned modesty, “I just told them—”
Mrs. Spotswood broke in with:
BETTER THAN SPANKING.
Spanking does not cure children of
bed-wetting. There is a constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. Sum

“You ought to feel very proud. Broad

“Oh, ft wasn’t much of a speech. " said
Broadway. “I—l
He was in the midst of launching out
upon some Jar from disparaging remarks
about himself when he looked into Josie's
face. There was no scorn for him there,
but the earnestly sweet expression of that
young woman made him feel of a sudden
that he was rather “small potatoes"—a
Jonesville term.
"Mr. Wallace, you really should have
heard Broadway's speech.” said Mrs.
Spotswood,
“I heard it last night," put in Wallace,
dryly.
Mrs. Spotswood and Clara took their
leave. They had to "go ,l< wn to Main
street” and do some "shopping.” But be
fore they went, Wallace and Clara ex
changed sheep's eyes, and Mrs. Spots
wood had invited Broadway, Wallace and
Josie to dinner that night.
What do you like with your supper.”
she went on, forgetting that a moment
before She had called the evening meal
"dinner,” "tea or coffee?”
‘Lemonade.” saill Broadway, thinking
of the bit of liquor she had added on the
previous night. i
111 make it myself," she. promised,
with a smile.
The judge had thoughts of going with
the women of his family, but Wallace
and Jackson persuaded him to stay for
the. promised and expected visit of Pem
broke. They thought that they might
need a lawyer when the trust magnate
beard that they’ would refuse his offer of
$1,500,000 for the Jones business.
A “HOODOO” DESK.
As it lacked but a few moments of 11,
the hour at which Pembroke was to come,
the men ehatted together while Josie
went back to her desk and looked over
some correspondence there.
"The old gentleman'had pretty good of
fices "here,” said Jackson.
"Yes.' answered the judjt. "seems
rather strange not to see him sitting at
that desk there. First, old Oscar Jones
sat there. an,i he died: then John sat
there, and he died: and then Andrew sat
there, and he died, and- and—now-*”
But the judge was not permitted to
finish by Jackson, who had been seated at
the desk of his forebears. He sprang to
his feet.
"That's the last time i'll ever sit there,"
j announced Jackson.
While he was on his feet moving his
chair a little way off from fjie ill-omened
desk, Sammy came in.
“Mr. Pembroke and Mr. Leary' to see
Mr. Jones." announced Sam,' in the care
ful. real-office-boy manner he could adopt
when he chose.
“Tell them to come right in,” ordered
Jones.
“Judge," asked Wallace, "did you ever
see a man refuse to take fifteen hundred
thousand dollars?” /
"Not yqt,” said the judge.
“Well, watch the professor." said Wal
lace, adding a moment later to Jones:
"Sit at the desk and look business-like.”
Broadway laughed shortly.
"In that chair?” he exclaimed. "Not
after what he said.”
Josie came up to Jackson.
"Shall 1 go?" she asked. In a tone she.
tried to make appear merely that' of the
secretary, the stenographer, the employee
to the enjnloyer.
Broadway was entirely alive to his op
portunity’. This girl should see how en
tirely master Broadway Jones was of the
situation. For to Broadway nothing ap
pealed more at the present moment than
showing this young woman that he was
not a wastrel, and also he*hoped that she
would see that he was not acting solely
from a desire to pose. He was ashamed
of the old self, though not yet completely
in the self. character that she or he had
evolved out of the old Broadway Jones.
Perhaps Broadway was not yet the altru
ist he thought himself, but he was on the
way. Looking at the charming face, the
fair hair and the blue-blue eyes—there
was no gray' in them now—Jackson an
swered the girl’s question as to her re
maining. Should she go?
"Not for all the world,” he Said, softly.
Then he stood behind the desk of his
ancestors, thrust one hand into his bosom
and, with a grin, muttered:
“Trot on your victim."
BROADWAY TURNS DOWN THE
TRUST.
Followed by his stenographer. Pem
broke strode rapidly into the room. He
greeted each pleasantly by name, calling
Wallace "Wilson.” Broadway pushed for
ward the chair concerning which the
judge had made his remarks of the suc
cession of deaths and with his hand in
vited the trust vice president to sit down.
Pembroke, however, preferred to stand.
The Consolidated official introduced his
stenographer as Mr. Leary and then di
rected the latter to sit in a corner and
take the conversation.
Up to this time Broadway had been
chiefly celebrated for his “dinners with a
punch." Today fie began to develop that
business punch which was afterward to
win a fame equal to the former name he
1 had made.
“Take the entire conversation. John,"
Pembroke had said.
Broadway walked to a door leading into
an outer office and beckoned to a young
man he saw sitting there.
"Take this entire conversation. Henry,"
he directed in his turn.
"Are we to talk In the presence of all
here?” demanded Pembroke, slightly
warm at Broadway's prompt response to
his own move.
Jackson replied, that he was satisfied
if Pembroke was.

MISS RHINE DAVIS blew into an
uptown off. e on one of the
rainiest and worst days that
the fall lias provided New York with.
"1 love the tarn," she announced to a
driiJping assembl.v of rubb r-coated ami
goloshed people, and then she blushed |
quickly and prettily, because we alii
looked so glum.
“I have been riding horseback in it all I
the morning." she said, trying to evoke I
some enthtisiasni. No one said any- '
thing, and then she blushed again, this j
time to a deep crimson.
"Miss Davis, I’ve always been inti r-j
ested in people who blush. Do you |
know that j’ou are blushing, and if you!
do. why are you? We're not alarming. I
though we are dripping." inquired the |
interviewer, bent on getting informa- i
tion for the countless young girls who
ask how to cease from blushing and be
at rest from embarrassment.
"I never knew that I blushed until
just ’recently.” said Miss Davis, and
'this time the color that had ebbed to a
soft pink flamed back into her cheeks
like a Killarney rose. >■
“I think it was really cruel of the
people to call my attention to it, for,
while I must have blushed all my life,
as long as I don’t think about It, it real
ly doesn't matter, does it?
"I sympathize flow with girls who are
teased about blushing by their family
and friends, for litre's nothing quite so
distressing as to feel that you are rush
ing a signal of embarrassment to your
cheeks' when you’re not embarrassed at
all. Os course, the very thought of such
a thing upsets me. and the only way I
can get over the habit is to totally Ig

A Great Beauty.
"Sometimes people say that one
blushes because one is very sensitive,
but I don’t think that’s true. Now,
I'm sensitive because my hair is red.

womankind. Miss Davis grew scarlet.
“r' ere, I knew I'd do it: oh, what is
