THE GEORGIANS MAGAZINE PAGE BROADWAY JONES 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.

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. ’ ome.
