•‘Very well, .sir," resumed Pembroke.
“Mr. Jones. 1 am not in the habit of doing
business through hirelings. Your VVirson,
your secretary, is represents himself
to be, and whose Impertinence, by the
way, is beyond description, has had the
audacity to sta.e ihat I should have to
do business through him or not at all."
Into the fare of the other Broadway
smiled blandly.
“Thos- wer.- my mstru.-lions exactly,"
he said.
I‘. mbrok* struck his palm with a fist.
«. 1,1.1: like to understand the reason
for so unusual in arrangement." he re- j
t< i■ ■ .arily.
“Very simple, very, very simple," re
turn Jd Btohilw v. with that same slow,
charming smile. "You’re trying to buy
something that 1 own. He’s the sales
man, that’s all. John Wanatnnker owns
a store, but he doesn’t wait on the cus
tomers. does he?" While Pembroke stood
with mouth open, amazed. Broadway
leaned over to YVallaee— "How was that,
old titan?”
"You’re immense- on the square.” an
swered Wallace. *
Pembroke's tone was sharp as he swift
ly continued:
"You are flippant. sir. You gave me
your word and hand thui tile deal would
be consummated at J o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The price was settled upon
and agreed to by both of us. I returned
by appointment with my lawyers and

iron, an insolent Luth r as to your where

you were on your way to Egypt, mid that

lady’s presence. Believing you to In a
man of integrity, unfortunately for me.
J had no witnesses present al the bind
ing of the bargain. Still I ask you, as u
man, Is your word worthless?”
Broauwuy leaned over the desk of his
ancestors, at which he was standing, and
thrust a linger .-dmost into the face of
Pembroke, as he shot out:
“When ( iMn dealing with unscrupulous
people, yes.”
To bis own stenographer Pembroke
turned, with:
"Have you got That, John?"
"Get that, Henry?” Jackson countered
to his own man. and then to I'embroke:
A GOOD SPEECH.
“When I fell for your football rush
business methods yesterday and agreed to

rotten tricks your company had stooped
to to put my uncle out of business. I

why I broke my word You didn’t think
that 1 could talk like that, did you?”
Then to Wallace, in one of their comical
asides, “How was It?”
"Great'." exclaimed Jackson, half to
himself and half to Bob: "It's wonder- j
fni: I never knew it was- in me."
Ili> added to Pembroke:
"Go on. say something else. 11l talk
y ’. for n thousand dollars a side."
Broadway looked across to Josie and
found a pair of swimming eyes directed
almost admiringly at his face.
But Pembroke was considering only the
practical aspects of the case.
"Then I'm to understand your price Is"
—he commenced.
Broadway broke in:
"The salesman will quote the prices-*
T’t- the owner.”
With a shrug of his shoulders Pem
broke walked over to the young advertis
ing man. Said lie:
"I don't consider any commercial trade
mark worth a million and a half dollars."

"Neither do J." instantly agreed Bob.
But Pembroke paid no attention to his

that said plainly: "AV ell, sentiment may

while we know and feel the price to 1,0
highly exorbitant, we have decided to talk

The temptation to Jackson to take the
center of the situation, particularly in
view of the fact that a certain pair >f
eyes were watching him intently, must
have been tremendous, but still be stuck
to his role of "owner." So it was Wal
lace who answered:
"Well, we're not prepared to sell."
"What? I’ve agreed to your terms." m a
• sort of agonized gasp.
"I heard everything you said. w. nt on
Wallace, while the judge interjected:
"Yes, and if I know anything of the
lav. he’s said just about enough to put

Vaguely to the roomful Pembroke s.*ld:
"1 don’t quit'- gather your meaning.”
"No, and you don’t gather In any
chewing gum, < ither,” said Wallace
sharply. "We’re not going to sell; we’re
going to fight. You haven't got a poor,
tottering old man to deal with, but a
youth full of tire and light and energy and
l ambition. Look."
Wallarc solemnly extended his hand
toward Jackson, and the latter turned to
Josie.
"Is he kidding me'.'" he inquired in an
aside.
But ’Wallace was now thundering on
in a manner that was forceful, mentally
and physically.
"We have an article," said he. "that
on its merits has stood up under almost
impossible competition. We have the
goods to deliver, and we're going to tight
you and beat yon at your own game. We
nrr- going to make you take your own
medicine, Mr. Pembroke. We're going to
make you compete with us. -Broadway
ami Josie were now smiling slightly, while
the judge looked on in wonder. "W«'r<

advertised before. We're going io post
am. plaster from on-* end of the country
to the other. We're going to mow you
under that's wlrat we are going t.. .io,
and we are in a po-ltfon to do it."
Pembroke’s tone was suave as lie an
swered:
We spend a million dollars a year ad
vertising, Mr. Wilson."
"No, •ou don’t," retorted Walla. e. in
stantly. "J know what you spend bet
ter than you do yourself. And my name
isn’t Wilson, and I’m not Jones' secre
tary. "There's my name, and there’s
my business."
Pembroke took in the taels upon the
card in a .-ingle glance.
A KNOCKOUT.
"You mean tire Empire Advertising
Company is behind tills concern?” I>< .-x
--cluiuied.
“ That s just what I mean, and we’re
Koing to do five limes as much ud vert Im
as you ever <ll*l, at almost one-tenth
the cost,” said Wallace.
’’Thon my people do no jnore business
with the Hmpire.” came from Pembroke
angrily.
Wallace only wished Clara wiie there
’to hear his response:
I “All right: then you don't get any out
i door advertising this side of the Uockj
mountains.”
Pembroke turned to ids stenographer.
“Come, John,” lie said, and then added
to Broadway: “You mark my words, Mr.
Jones, you'll be glad to do business with
me before Knottier year has passed.”
Broadway bantered back:
“You come around and see me In about
a year, I may bus’ the Consolidated.”
“Come, John. was Pembroke's only
reply as he left the room.
Broadway stopped the stenographer
with: “Say, John.''
As the latter turned. Broadway added:
“Put that last one I said down. It’s
a corker.”

"Yes, I think girb: -livuid be regularly

matter first of good iiealtll, and then a
kind, of mental discipline. It’s eertain
. ly tin art worth cultivating, for much of
the uiitievs.sary misery in the world
would lie eliminated it all women made
: *u point of being pleasant at home.”
Hrouablj Mrs. Julie tipp (•’in ersbam
is tired of being referred to as a statu
esque beauty, but certainly in the gar
ments of Portia, the wife of the noblest
Roman of them all. with a flowing veil
thrown around her, she looked like “a
daughter of the gods, divinely tall and
most divinely fair,” and one can hardly
believe that she feeds to make an effort
at being pleasant.
( "Os course, I think that amiability is
very largely due to good health. If we
were all born perfectly healthy there
would be fever excuses afic no reason
for much of the disagreeabloness of hu
man nature. But even so, 1 think being
pleasant Is an art that can .in.; should
be acquired.
“Oh, I frequently get up with the
wrong foot first myself, and feel that
everything Is wrong. Tim telephone
rings too often and annoys me. o • my
tea is not just igiit. and I’m retting in
to have ;< bad, um.i.'asant day. Then I

good health, you have to have brains to
• make a quick change like that. Lots of
j women haven’t the intelligence to know
| when they are being unpleasant. What ■
are you going to do about that?”
First Principles.
This was a “facer" even to the beau
tiful Portia, but as a practical woman
she went back to first principles.
“Never mind; we are beginning right,
anyhow. People are bringing healthier
and liner children into the world, and
they are taking more pains to build up
a proper physical foundation.”
And as if to Illustrate this, the two
youngest members of the Faversham
family, who had been allowed as a spe
cial favor to see their mother ami fa
■ ther in "Julius Caesar," came prancing
I into the room and announced gayly that
1 the. thing they liked the best In the play
: was Mr. Bellmore, the gleaming and
; lusty tlist citizen of Rome, after "Pad
dy,” of course. At mention of 1 faddy"
the interview stopped suddenly, and tile
star’s wife talked abort, her husband’s
work attd ambitions and her slian in ft,
until we had completly Jost sight of our
.school for pleasantness, and had to
come back with a jerk and a question
whether men didn't need to be trained
In this very necessary quality as well as
women.
| "Men are such dears," said Lady Por
tia Faversham, "and they’re all chil
dren, aren’t they?” And the same love
ly maternal light came into her eyes as
when she had looked at her two boys.
"You know I am a strong suffragist,
and I am sure that the material quality
that is in all women is going to be the
great thing to be reckoned with in the
future work. It’s only as woman sees
the best in man and brings it out that
we will really arrive at our ideals, po
litical and otherwise. And how won
derful men are! Think of the marvel
lous heroes of the Titanlj; it seems to
me that the world can never go back
to what it was before that example of
■ hivalry. and that we’ve all ue> n lifted
,Up .' little higher by .he b...\ery of

1 to talk of herself.
‘ But that’s a very difficult thing to do
for a woman who is interested, lirst of
1 all, in her husband ami his work, and
then in her own. Miss Opp's activi
ties are manifold. She is a real and
1 modern mother (modern in the highest
i sense of the word, please) to her sturdy
1 youngsters, and probably no role that
1 she .-ver played so suitably expresses ,
her own personality as that of the wife .
of Brutus, the large-souled Cato, who ,
combined a man's brain and a woman's .

"I love the part." said Mrs. Faver

“Some one asked him once what he

onlj one fault. She's about an inch too
short.’ You can imagine tny astonish
ment, for my height always seemed
such an obstacle.
"But Du Maurier believed, as I do,
that a perfect physique and health
should be the heritage of every child
and be the ground work on which a
contented, optimistic, courageous char
acter must be developed. Os course, we

Louis Stevenson, for instance—shed

a definition of the term "true friend"

true friend. It is Daysey Mayme Ap

The bride looked puzzled. Day Se y
Mayme talked long and earnestly. She
was giving the bride advice. She was
proving in her way the quality of h' e r
friendship.
There are some souls of such un
grateful natures they refuse to take
advice. But the bride was not of that
kind. As a result of the advice given
her by Daysey Mayme, a document
signed by the bride, and to the follow
ing effect, has been filed in the courts
"This is to certify that I married a
widower. His first wife is dead, and
she left the following: Two petticoats,
of cotton and one of wool, all badlv'
worn; one old corset, two pairs of host
two faded house dresses, two dress
skirts, threa shirtwaists, a thin gold
ring, a hair switch, a gold breastpin
one pair of shoes and a winter coat.'
I have had them carefully itemized, and
sworn to before a notary public, and
they are now sealed in the attic of our
home. 1 take this action to forestall an-*
future claim by my stepchildren that I
have taken possession of Mother's
Things.' If at any time they want
‘Mother’s Things,’ I will be glad, in the
presence of two Creditable witnesses, to
turn said sealed box and its contents
over to them,"
“It would be a wise thing.” sighed
Daysey Mayme, “if other women who
, have stepchildren would do the same.”
