puffing anger.
Josie entering, fell into .be conversa
tion with the three. Wallace told Josie
that after he bad 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 hnd 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." ho said, "with
out any advertising, is wonderful. I know
what I'm talking about I'm with the
biggest advertising firm iu 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
ail. 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

Josie got for him her correspondence
with the Empire firm. It was as she. had

the Jones factory telephone. : ltd put in
a call for his father, Grover Wallace, at
liis downtown New York office.
Surrounded by the happy ami proud
Spotswoods, Broadway Jones, his chest
out. entered the office, preening himself
after the fashion of the most successful
eanqiaign orator who has just made a
hit. For in ills own mind Broadway did
not know himself.
Th* 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." aid Broadway, in

Mrs. Spotswood broke in with:

lit was in the midst of launching out
up* n j- .in* fnr from disparaging remarks
about himself when he 1< oked into Josie’s
face. There was no scorn for him there,
but the earnestly sweet expression oPthat
young woman made him feel of a sudden
that he was rather “small potatoes” a
J'inesville 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 ami Clara took their
leave. They had to “go down to Main
street” and do some “shopping.” But be
fore they went, Wallace and Clara •x
--changed sheep’s eyes, and Mrs. Spots
wood had invited Brunt Iw *.y, Wallace and
Josie to dinner that night.
“What do you like with your supper,”
she went on, forgetting that a moment
before she Lad called the evening meal
> “dinner,” “tea or coffee?”
“Lemonade," said Broadway, thinking
of the bit of liquor she had added on the
previous night.
‘ “I'il make it myself,” she promised,
> with a smile.
The judge had thoughts of going with ;
the women of his family, but Wallace I
and Jackson persuaded him to stay for 1

As it lacked but as» w fnoments of 11,

1 the men chatted together while Josie

some correspondence there.

“Yes,” answered the judge, “seems

“That’s the last time I’ll ever sit there,”
announced Jackson.
While he was on his feet moving his

I see a man refuse to take fifteen hundred

’ “Not yet.” said the judge.
’ “Well, war ch the professor," said Wal

' “Sit at the desk and look business-like.”
Broadway laughed shortly.
“In that chair?" he exclaimed. “Not

’ Josie came up to Jurk"* n.
“Shull I go?" she arked, In a tone she
tried to make apptar merely that of the
secretary, the stenographer, the employee
to the emiih'ycr.
Broadway was entirely alive to his op
portunit''. Thin 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 lie was
riot 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 us the old Broadway Jones.
Perhaps Broadway was not yet the altru
ist he thought himself, but he was on the
I 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 al! 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

Followed by his stenographer, Pem

greeted each pleasantly by name, calling
Wallace “Wilson.” Broadway* pushed for

judge had made Ids remarks of the suc
cession nf deaths and with Ids 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.
Vp to this time Broadway had been
chiefl.v celebrated for his “dinners with a
punch.” Today he began to develop that
business punch which was afterward to
win a fame equal to the former name he
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
warin at Broadway’s prompt response to

MISS HEINE DAVIS blew into an
uptown office on one of the
rainiest and worst days that

“I love the rain.” she announced to a
dripping assembly of rubber-coated and
goloshed people, and then she blushed
juickly and prettily, becajuse we all
looked so glum.
"I have been riding horseback in it all
th. nwniii?,” she said, trying to evoke
some enthusiasm. No one said any
thing. and then she blushed again, this

she is a tall and graceful girl, with big
blue eyes and a lovely round throat,
which shows that white skin in all its

"It's queer hqw few people love the

Advice to the Lovelorn
HE IS NOT SERIOUS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
lama 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 my
girl friend is here. He never lias
taken me. out except with my girl
friend and her gentleman friend.
Sometimes he treats me very cool
and sometimes hardly speaks io
me. and although I am oi an op
timistic nature. It often makes me
blue. VIVIEN.
If he cared for you, he would resent
the constant presence of others. In
stead, he welcomes it.
I judge that you care too much for
him for your own good. Try to recover
from what will prove to be only a
youthful fancy. Don’t make the tragic
mistake of pouring out your heart at
the feet of a man who will scorn it.
Take up other interests.
DON’T DOUBT YOUR MOTHER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and have loved a
young man almost four years my
senior for nearly two years. Last
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 lie receives letters each day
from a girl who must be madly in
love Avith him. for she writes sev
eral a day sometimes.
Do you think she just says this
so I will not think so much of him?
WORRIED.
I can jiot 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.
MOST DECIDEDLY. NO.
