A Thrilling Story of “The Great White
Way."
By BERTRAND BABCOCK.
TODAY'S INSTALLMENT.
“She insisted that she must see you and
talk, with you,” Rankin answered
“I won't see her. I won’t talk to tier "
exclaimed the youth.
There was calm "finality in the butler s
tone now as he said:
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
“But she's right up the road a bit
Tou must see her, sir. She's perfectly
reconciled, sir. believe me."
Weakly Jackson leaned against his
grandfather's elm. This was too much
“Reconciled'’' he gasped. “You mean
she understands—”
"C)IL yes, sir." broke in tlie suave Han
kin. “She’s already sent out a denial
of her engagement to you in the form
of another announcement."
"She's engaged to some one else?"
“Yes, sir: she's going to marry the earl
of ( ortland, Rankin answered, with what
seemed to the other a shade of an en
tirely foreign dignity.
Ihe earl of Cortland’’’ he ejaculated.
"Wha’s he? Where does he live? I'p in
the Van Cortlandt Park golf house'.”’
His triple inquiry was ignored by Ran
kin.
“Will you see her, sir?
1 hen, without’waiting for his master's
consent, he raised his hand, waving it as
he stepped into the road, and giving a low
whistle.
There was instant response. A little
figure stepped from the darkness of the
path, several hundred feet away, and
trudged toward them. It seemed to
Broadway that he was dreaming.
"Gad!” he commented. "You've got her
trained like a good little doggie!"
MRS. GERARD ARRIVES.
"Yes. sir," said the butler.
No other words were spoken during the
short interval that Mrs. Gerard's advances
upon them Broadway saw that she was
smiling.
"Has Rankin told you?" she • asked,
without a trace of resentment.
"Yes. Mrs. Gerard, he has told me."
The triple widow sighed, and In that
sigh mingled all her old regrets and new
er aspirations. Then she explained:
“I'd never be happy if New York should
imagine that I'd been jilted, or the sub
ject of a practical joke. My excuse for
throwing you over was my engaement to
the Earl of Portland. After a few hours'
lalk with Itanklin T became convinced
that our marriage would never have been
a hapy one: hence my decision to marry
tre earl.” She laid one hand upon Jack
son's arm, and for the first time that
youth failed to shudder at the contact.
"I've played fair with you. Jackson, and
now I want you to do the same by me.”
A quick involuntary step backward
carried Broadway away from Mrs. Gerard,
while equally without reflection h.. clapped
both hands over his pocket. Thrift had
at last been born in the spendthrift. In
the old days he would have turned his
pockets inside out. Nevertheless, he was
lot ungenerous.
"I'll do anything you ask within reason,
Mrs. Gerard." he said quite in the tone
bad used in his interview with the vice
president of the gum trust.
Mrs. Garard did not seem to have no
ticed his caution, which had been purely
Instinctive, and not at all due to mean
ness.
"Very good," she said. "All tlvat I ask
s that you'll keep my secret."
THE BUTLER-EARL.
I'or answer she pointed to Rankin.
Then site added words to her gesture:
“Maj I present the Earl of Courtland?”
"What!”
"It's true.' she went on," we've had a
thorough understanding, and Rankin has
agreed to become an earl. Don’t be sur
prised. It's not at all unusual. It's being j
done—it’s being done in New York. I
know three dukes who were butlers, and
a French count wiio was a chauffeur less
than two years ago. Have I your solemn |
promise that you will not divulge the se- ;
< ret?"
"1 give you my word of honor." said
Jones.
Then he led Rankin aside.
“You remember, Rankin," lie said,
"that when I gave you that furniture I

tie two men exchanged grips.
Broadway, in his delight at the turn of
events, almost hissed into the ear of his
former butler in a mixture of tragedy and
comedy.
I ou mean to tell me that you'd do such
a low. contemtplble. despicable thing as
°,roarry a woman for her money?”
Yes, sir, and thank you for the oppor

English inflection.
"Como, Earlie,” said Mrs. Gerard, and
Broadway was at last alone with a great
happiness.

BOB’S TURN NOW.
For fully five minutes—which was an
infinitude for him—Jackson stood bare
headed in tlie road where the “earl” and
his bride-to-be nad left him. Slowly
through his whole being a glow diffused
itself. Beginnig in the innermost re
cesses of his consciousness, it grew and
expanded in ail directions, so that first
the heart beat faster, and then, as he
realized that this strange feeling was real
haplpness, the quickened pulsations sent
the blood stirring through all the veins
and arteries of his body. In the end, his
< leeks glowed as his joy emerged to the
i surface of his knowledge.
In ,an instant more Broadway was
(running at full speed for his own house.
, I' did not slacken his pace until he
in - ,! he Srounds before the house
ob Wallace. In by no means pleasant
I intercourse with a man whose definite re
semblance to his own friends proclaimed
the stranger the father of the young ad

"That's what I’ve come here for—to find

unresponsive hand.

"By gracious. I'm awfully glad to meet

from the strong resemblance. And then
Bob has spoken of you so often and told
me so much about you that I feel that 1
know you as well as he dues. Did you
know he was coming. Bob?”
"No,” the son answered, almost sul
lenly.
Uh, a little surprise?” continued the
voluble and radiant Jackson. "Well,
why didn't you tip me off? I’d i lave
dinner for you. Conte along inside and
, meet the folks. M'e're having a bully
j time, aren't we. Bob?”
"Yes, line," answered Bob, heartily.
"This is Jackson Jones, guvnor. You've
heard me talk of him.”
' "I believe 1 have," said the elder Wal
lace.
His tone was courteous in the extreme,
but there was a lack of that quality re
served for dear and near friends.
THE ELDER WALLACE.
"Isn’t it strange that we never met be
fore,” went on Jackson, his own inner
happiness acting as anything save a
check upon his tongue, "Bob and I be
ing such good friends? But we're go
ing to get acquainted now, all right,
| aren't we? Come into the house and be
j comfortable."
“No, thank you. I'd like to speak to
my son alone if you have no objections,”
said the father evenly.
“Why, of course,” answered Broadway,
his monner still that, of his happiest mo
ment. "and I’ll expect you in as soon as
you're through with your little talk.
Don't let him get away, Bob. I’ll prepare
a nice little lunch for him."
"You needn't trouble, sir,” came from
the elder Mallace. who seemed deter
mined to break no bread at Jones Manor.
"Oh, it's no bother at all, and I’m only
too glad to get a chance to entertain.
This is my first day in a regular home,
anil I’m having the time of my life. Don't
you let him get away. Bob.”
Finally father and son stood facing one
another, and then the elder threw re
pression to the winds and spoke in all
the bitterness that his courteous instinct
had veiled before Jackson. He demanded:
“Now, sir. perhaps you'd like to ex
plain the meaning of all this damned non
sense.”

there was a grin about his lips.

The Way of a Man
By Beatrice Fairfax
“Out upon it! I have loved
Three whole days together;
And am like to love three more,
If it proves fair weather."
—Sir John Suckling.
“Broken-Hearted" writes:
“I am keeping company with a
young man for tlie last four years.
I am a girl of twenty-two. and he
is twenty-five. When I first met
him he was earning only twelve
dollars a week, and said he could
not marry on that salary, but
would us soon as lie got a better
position. He succeeded in getting
it. and has had it a year, but now
says he would like to get married,
but fears it would break his moth
er’s heart. He is not her sole sup
port, as she has four more chil
dren working for her.
"BROKEN - H EARTED."
THIS girl's story is one that lias
been told countless times in many
climes and many languages. She
loved a man; he loved her. He’couldn't
afford to marry, and she agreed to wait
for him.
Dong engagements have away of
weakening a man's love. He is sure of
the girl; courtship lacks the incentive
that uncertainty gives. He begins to
feel as bored as a married man. witli
this difference: There are no legal
bonds tying him.
He grows forgetful of her faithful
ness. His increased wages give him
wider opportunity for knowing other
girls who are younger, fairer and fresh
er. It may occur to him that the girl
who lias waited for him is too old for
him, and if he does lie is not the first
man to have this opinion, as thousands
of neglected sweethearts will testify.
He begins to delay’ the wedding day,
building vp one flimsy excuse on top of
another. The girl, after the manner of

her sex. is distressed, and shows it. In
away, it seems to her that the end of
the world has come.
She has spent the best part of her
girlhood in planning, hoping, waiting.
During all these years she has made
him feel so sure of her constancy that
he has grown to cherish It as lightly as
he cherishes the love of a sister.
It is all wrong. Every long engage
ment is an injustice to the girl for the
very reason that man so often proves
fickle.
And I claim that tlie girl is partly to
blame. She is so much in love she
makes all of love’s sacrifices. She
gives up the friendship of other men,
and often that of other women. She Is
waiting for him. He knows she is wait
ing; in is sure she will continue to
wait, and It is an unusual man who
will run to a destination, knowing that
the one waiting for him will continue
to wait though he lags on the way.
He lias made too sure of her! He is
lagging on the way. Little surprise
should there be if he never reaches her.
Let "Broken-Hearted” marshal her
pride, and tell him she will wait no
longer. When the man who has an
appointment knows that the one who is
waiting for him will wait not a minute
longer than a certajn hour, he doesn't
loiter on the way.
“Broken-Hearted” is only twenty
two, and at that age the human heart
shows a wonderful recuperative power
She has forgotten that there are other
men in the world. She must remembet
it now, and not for one moment con
sider that her life has been wrecked
because one man out of the many' this
world holds proved an ingrate.
Such an attitude will do more to
quicken tlie steps of this man than re
proaches and tears.
