than you think. I've got a brain. 1 have.
I'll surprise you all some day. see if I
don't.'' Ami Sam left the room in fat,
puffing anger.
Josie entering, fell into the conversa
tion will-, the three. Wallace told Josie
that after he had gone over the matter
with Jackson he himself had become thor
oughly convinced that the best thing and
the only thing for Broadway to do was
to hold to the plant and fight it out.
After Clara had rejoined her mother in
The works, Wallace talked frankly with
the “handy man'' of the Jones family.
“A proposition that will show a profit
like this did last year.’’ be said, "with
out 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 ns. The Em
pire's my firm. My father is the pres
ident."
Josie got for him lor correspondence
with the Empire firm. It was as she had
■aid. Wallace asked permission to use
the Jone factory telephone, ami put in
a call for his father, Grover Wallace, at
his downtown New York office.
Surrounded by the happy and proud
Spotswoods, Broadway Jones, his chest
out, entered the office, preening himself
after the fashion of the most successful
campaign orator who has just made a
hit. For in his own mind Broadway 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, I don’t know," said Broadway. in
feigned modesty, "I just told them "
Mrs. Spotswood broke in with:

“Oh, it wasn't much of a speech,” said
I Broadway. “I— I—”
He was in the midst of launching out
upon some far from disparaging remarks
. about himself wh**n he looked into Josie's
fact’. There was no scorn for him there,
but the earnestly sweet expression of that
young woman made him feel of a sudden
I that he was rather “small potatoes”—a
Jonesville term.
“Mr. Wallace, you really should have
hoard Broadway’s speech,” said Mrs.
Spotswood.
“1 heard it last night,” put in Wallace,
’ dryly.
Mrs. Spotswood and Clara took their
i leave. They had to “go down to Main

she went on, forgetting that a moment

' “Lemonade,” said Broadway, thinking
of the bit of liquor she had added on the
previous night.
“I’ll make it myself.” she promised,
s with a smile.

pealed more at the present moment than
shewing litis young woman that lie was
not a wastrel, and also he hoped that she
would see thnt he was not acting solely
from a desire to pose. He was ashamed
I of the old self, though not yet completely
I 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 lie 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

Pembroke had said.
Broadway walked to a door leading into

this glowing young person continued
her dissertation on the benefits of rain
water.
"Now the real reason why women
hate the rain so much is because
they’re never quite prepared for it,”

clumsy, but what difference does it
make? Another thing that few women
have is a real rain hat and the right
kind of boots. Walking isn’t a popular
pastime any more even in good weath

proper kind of shoes.
“I walk a great deal and 1 always

Ry Beatrice Fairfax
HE IS NOT SERIOUS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I ant a young girl of sixteen and
have known a young man one year
my senior for about a year, and I
have become very fond of him. I
have been in his company a good
deal and have been to several
dances and places of amusement
with him. Now, this young man
never comes to my house unless iny
girl friend is here. He never has
taken nte out except with my girl
friend and her gentleman friend. •
Sometimes he treats me very cool
and sometimes hardly speaks to
me. and although I am of an op
timistic nature, it often makes me
blue. VIVIEN.
If he cared for you, he would resent
the constant presence of otheis. In
stead, he welcomes it.
I judge that you care too much for
him for your own good, Tr to recover
from what will prove to bi only a
youthful fancy. Don’t make ine tragic
mistake of pouring out your heart at
the feet of a man who will scorn it.
Take up other interests.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and have loved a
young man almost four years my
senior for nearly two years. Lust
year in May he told me he loved
me and we agreed to wait two or
three years until he would be able
to support a wife.
We have not told my mother of
this, but she seems to suspect it.
She says he has lots of girls, and
that he receives letters each day
from a girl who must be madly in
love with him. for she writes sev
eral a day sometimes.
Do you think she ju-t says this
so I will not think so much of him?
WORRIED.
I can not believe any mother would
stoop to such deceit.
You owe it to her and to yourself to
tell her of your engagement with this
man. More than this, he owes it to you
to make it known. He is not doing you
justice in asking that it be concealed.
