Based on George M. Cohan's Play Now Running in New York
A Thrilling Story of '‘The Great Whits
Way.”
By BERTRAND BABCOCK.
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
‘•She insisted that she must sec you and
talk with you.” Rankin answered.
•“I won't see her. I won’t talk to her,’’
exclaimed the youth.
There was calm tinalitx in the butler's
lune now as he said:
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
‘But she’s right up the road a bit
You must sec 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 ”
“Oh, yes, sir,” broke in the suave Ran
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 Cortland,” Rankin answered, with what
seemed to the other a shade of an en
tirely foreign dignity.
“The earl of Cortland!” he ejaculated.
“Wha’s he? Where does he live? Up in
the Van Cortlandt Park golf house?”
His triple inquiry was ignored by Ran
kin.
“Will you see her. sir? ’
Then, without waiting for his master's
•onsent, 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 slit was
smiling.
“Has Rankin told you? she asked,
without a trace of resentment.
“Yes, Mrs. Gerard, l.e has told me.”
The triple widow sighed, and in that j
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. M\ excuse for ‘
throwing you over was my engaement to
h.u Earl of Cortland. After a few hours’
talk with Ranklin I became convinced
'hat «»ur marriage would never have been :
a hapy one: hence m\ decision to marry i
ire earl.” She laid one hand upon Jack- •
son's arm, and for the first time that
youth failed to shudder at the contact. |
•‘l’ve played fair with you, Jackson, and
now I want you to do the same by me.” |
\ quick involuntary step backward ’
carried Broadwax away from Mrs. Gerard. !
while equally without reflection lie clapped ,
both hands over his pocket. Thrift had ■
nt last been born in the spendthrift. In j
(lie old days he would have turned his i
pockets inside out. Nevertheless, he was j
m»i ungenerous.
• 1 11 do anything xuii ask w ithin reason, ;
Mrs. Gerard,” he said quite in the tone I
he had used in his interview with the vice •
piesident of the gum trust
Mrs. (Jara rd did not seem to have no- j
:!<■•»(! bis caution, which had been purely ,
Distinctive, and not at ail due to mean-I
”\ erx good.” she said. ‘All (hat 1 ask i
is ihat you'll keep my secret.”
THE BUTLER-EARL.
For answer she pointed to Rankin. ;
Thon she added words to her gesture: 1
‘Max I present the Earl of Courtland?'’ |
“What!”
It’s true,' she went on.' we’ve had a',
thorough understanding, and Rankin has I
agreed to become an earl. I‘••n’t be stir- *
prised. It’s nut at all unusual, it’s being ,
done-—it’s being dem- in Now York. I

a I’Ye.nch count who was a chauffeur less .
than tvv«» years ago. Ha\<- I your s< lemn |

“I give you my word of honor.” said
Jones.
Then he led Rankin aside.

Ottumwa. lowa. —“For years I was
almost a constant suffer from female
i trouble in all its
dreadful forms;
shooting pains all
over my body, sick
headache, spinal
weakness, dizziness,
depression, and
everything that was
horrid. 1 tried many
doctors in different
parts of the United

all the doctors. I feel it my duty to tell'
you these facts. My heart is full of
gratitude to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege

Harriet E. Wampler, 524 S. Ransom

Consider Well This Advice.
No woman suffering from any form
of female troubles should lose hope un
til she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's |
Vegetable Compound a fair trial.
This famous remedy, the medicinal in
gredients of which are derived from
native roots and herbs, lias for nearly
forty years proved to be a most valua

bear willing testimony to the wonderful I

you said you had?”
“Perfectly, sir.”
W ell, if you have a wife how can you
marry?”
‘I haven’t any wife, sir. When 1 said
I had 1 had hopes, sir. So saying that I
had a wife was just a little bit of a de
viation from the normal, sir.”
THEIR PLANS.
Rankin s manner was convincing and
Jackson believed him.
The trio exchanged good-byes.
I hope that you will be very, very hap
py.” Jones told Mrs. Gerard.
Thank you. We don’t expect to be,”
she returned cheerfully—then to Rankin—
“ Shake hands with Mr. Jones. Eearlie.”
The 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.
1 ou mean to tell me that you’d do such
a low, contemtpible, despicable thing as
to marry a woman for her money?”
es, sir, and thank you for the oppor
tunity, answered the butler in his rising
English inflection.

Broadway was at last alone with a great
happiness.

BOB'S TURN NOW.
!•’. >r fully five minutes—which was an
infinitude for him —Jackson stood bare
headed In the 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 all directions, so that first
the heart beat faster, and then, as he
tealized that this strange feeling was real
hapfpness, the quickened pulsations sent
I lie blood stirring through all the veins
and arteries of his body. In the end, his
hooks glowed as his joy emerged to the
surface of his knowledge.
11l an instant more Broadway was
; running ar full speed for his own house.
IHe <i,d no t slacken his pace until he

' ut there was a lack of that quality re
serv< d for dear and near friends.
THE ELDER WALLACE.
Isn t it strange that we never met be

| happiness acting as anything save a

I ing such g<vnl friends? But we’re g..-
[ ing to get acquainted now, all right,
i aren t we? Come into the house and be
comfortable.”

said the father even lx

th» ehicr Wallace, who seemed deter

too glad to get a chance to entertain.

b inally 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. Tie demanded:
“Now, sir, perhaps you'd like to ex
’ lain th# meaning <'f all this damned non
sense.”
What nonsense?” Wallace, the young
er. asked in a wondering tone, though
there was a grin about his lips
‘What are you doing here.”'
“Didn’t I phone you yester*lax that I

During all tins - years she lure made

l. has grown to cherish it as lightly as
lie cherishes the love of a sister.
It is all wrong. Every long engage
ment is an injustice to the girl for the
wry reason that man so often proves
fickle. . .
And I claim that the girl is partly to
blatne. Sh- is so much in love shv

will run to a destination, knowing that
tlie one waiting for him will continue
In wait though he lags on the way.
He has made too sure of her! He is
igging on tile way Little surprise
. hould then be If he never reaches her.
Let -Broken-Hearted” marshal her
pride, and tell him .she will wait no
longer. When t'no man who has an
appointment knows that the one who is
waiting for him will wait not a minute
longer than a certain hour, he doesn't
loiter on the way.
"Broken-Hearted” is only twenty

shows a wonderful recuperative power
She lias forgotten that there are other

Such an attitude will do more to
