Arid How the Deficiency
Was Made Good.
By EUGENE A. VOGT
Copyright by Frank A. Munscy Co.
Don't fool yourself! Not every man
who Is broke is unworthy of his man
hood.
It's just the other way with the chap
worth while, and Jack Ituford was
almost as good, decent and clean a
fellow as his sweetheart thought he
was.
Mabel Alnsworth—that's the girl with
the unerring Judgment—had a father
when Jack failed In business.
Mr. Alnsworth Instituted proceedings
with his daughter, Mabel, who loved
Jack, broke or whole, and for reasons
known only to the feminine mind did
not hesitate to say so. Mr. Alnsworth
tried to l-eason.
Hjb was a lawyer In good practice,
and his logic was excellent. Mabel re
marked that she loved Jack. Her
father began to Intimate something
heavy about filial love, duty, obedience,
and so forth.
Mabel repeated that she loved Jack.
The father sought Jack and talked to
the young man In a manner for which
Jack would have knocked the talk out
of him had he not been Mabel's father.
"Look at this!" commanded Kuford
and thrust an open letter under the
proboscis of his reluctant father-in-law.
"Well, what Is It all about?" asked
Alnsworth after he had read t'..e type
written lines.
. -Ifs this." replied Jack, more In pity
than la Ire. 'The Wetmore Drug com
pany of New- York offers me the sole
agency for Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Iowa''—
"Yes. yes." Interrupted Mabel's fa
ther, with offensive impatience.
"Yes, yes—sir—when you talk to me.
Mr. Alnsworth!" corrected Jack stern
ly. "Yea. yes!" repeated Alnsworth
without a (firming anything in particu
lar.
"There you go again"' snapped the
potential conqueror of the drug trade
of four progressive states. "How many
times shall 5 have to tell you that it's
•yes. sir.' to me from you*? Please do
not forget that again, my dear Mr.
Alnsworth. By the way, how much
money will it take to buy your daugh
ter from you, with your aboriginal
ideas of paternal ownership?"
"Not an infernal red cent!" roared
Alnsworth. "Nor a yellow million
nor a stack of greenbacks as high as
this postoffice—from you, sir! I'll sit.
you! Even If yon had the ability to
make any appreciable part of It, yon
couldn't have my daughter now for all
the money In the world, sir!"
"Ar» you through?" asked Ruford
calmly. The lawyer nodded violently.
"All right, then." proceeded the young
man. 'Tm really surprised at you,
Mr. Alnsworth. And wlttT your legal
attainments too. Mabel is of age.
You know that, I know it and she
knows it Listen to me! 1 can walk
down this Main street three blocks,
turn into Locust and walk four and a
half more, stop at 416, enter, wait four
minutes for a certain young lady to
put on her hat and cant, walk out. up
Locust one and a half blocks, ring a
bell, enter house, emerge married. And
you know It!"
"I know It!" gasped the hapless fa
| ther.
"A man who can do that. Mr. Alns
worth," proceeded Jack unfeelingly,
"must be handled with care. Lot u.s,
then, try kindness."
• "1 always thought. jacK," saia tne
lawyer in his beat appealing voice,
"that at heart yon were a very decent
young feUov^."
"1 am," agreed Tffefc modestly. "My
purpose being to get down to a calm
discussion of the differences between
us. I shall not refer to your wonderful
restraint of expression of your good
opinion of uie."
Both men laughed at this sally.
"Now. Mr. A Ins worth." proceeded
the young man pleasantly, "you are
mostly right about me and wouHJ be
nil right it' you weren't so Infernally
vigorous in expressing yourself, I
have no right to marry Mabel in my
present circumstances, until I have
shown—mostly for my own satisfac
tion—that I can make money enough
to support her. Now, I shall be gone
a year. Wheii 1 come back. If I can
show yon So,000 will that soften your
heart?"
"Jack," replied Mabel's father with
deep feeling, "If yon ever show me
$5,000 of your own money, honestly
earned, and If 1 don't drop dead at
sight of It I'll consent"
"Mind you," said Jack as they shook
hnnds on It. "I i-.m dolug this thing out
of pure magnanimity of soul. You un
derstand that don't you?"
"Fully," acknowledged Mr. Alns
worth.
It was on the three hundred nnd fif
tieth night of his quest that Jack ar
rived at his hotel in St Louis, bub
bling over with enthusiasm. He Joked
with the clerk as he registered with
a flourish and staggered the bellboy
who escorted him to his room with a
fifty cent tip. After the minion had
bowed himself out Jack threw himself
isn a chair and exultantly opened his
suit case.
"It's all over, Mabelita!" he cried, ad
dressing that-young lady's photograph,
which he had pinned on his suit case's
Inner lid. "We've got It! We've got it!
The Wotmore Drug company owes me
S7.tttr.50. Those last seven orders In
Decatur give me $117.30 and make us
cross the llue, darling. Now for a run
home to dear old t'iillngsby to see yon
aim get you 10 uauie iue uuj.
j The bellbo.v entered and obsequiously
' tendered a telegram on a near sliver
salver. .lack looked uneasily first at
j tlie bearer, then at the message. He
1 tore open- the yellow envelope. He
Stared at ttie slip of paper be extracted
from it, bis eyes wide and incredulous,
j At last he roused himself, smoothed
i out the sheet and stared at it as
though he hoped the very fixity of his
; gaze would change its tenor.
I "No," he mumbled hopelessly. "It's
! no use—it's there, it's there! 'Wetmore
' Drug company asking compromise with
! creditors. Offer 20 cents on dollar.'
[ He repeated it stupklly and with inane
' commentsr
His head sank down on the table,
nnd he was lost in utter dejection.
Jack Ruford arrived In New York on
the second night after the receipt of
the crushing telegram, ne entered a
J modest hotel on a side street near
j Broadway aud scowled at the attentive
[ bellboy who relieved bim of his suit
I case.
I There Was nothing for him to do but
] to think—until the morrow, when. Jack
j hoped, the offices of the Wetmore Drug
j company would be open. He ordered
I the bellboy to escort hiir. and his bai<
I gage to the room assigvu-d to him.
I "What kind of a Joint Is this, any
| way?" snarled the distracted young
i man as the bellboy set the wrong suit
j case on the table of the room. "This
isn't my suit cas<\"
[ "Oh, beg pardon, sir!" npotogl:"fl
the bewildered boy. "Isn't it?" -
! "No, it isn't, isn't it." mocked Jack
! angrily. "Takp the thing away and
' fetch mine. Marked J. R."
The bellboy hastened away with the
I offending portmanteau, but soon re
I turned, saying: "Sorry, mister. I
| brung it to the wrong room. It look
I ed so much like yours."
"WeiU.then, why the dickens don't
you per rr:
"Tbat's the trouble." stammered the
bellboy. "The lady says for you t'<
come and get It yonrself. She won"'
give It to cie. sir."
"Won't, bey? She won't. wou't 8hev
demanded .Tack furiously. "Take mo
to It, kid. I'll set ber straight In two
seconds—just exactly two seconds,"
Tbe. dazed boy led the Irnte guest
down one corridor and up another and
stopped before a door marked 210.
Jack knocked authoritatively, and a
feminine voice called "Come In." Tbe
young man flung open tbe door.
"Madam." he began. Idly stern.
"Mad—I—I"
And then this prince of glib talkers
suddenly lost the power of articulation,
for .Mabel AJnsworth slowly turned to
i face him. confirming tbe first wild
guess, fenr and hope which the sight
of her figure had Inspired. ^
"I think. It very careless of you,
Jack," began Mabel reproachfully, "to
keep-yonr suit case unlocked."
"i-r
"Ob. ITs all right this time." she re
assured blm. "Thinking It was mine,
and as I never lock mine either, I
opened It and saw—this."
She waved her band toward ber pho
tograph resting in its conspicuous place
against the inner lid of the suit case.
"I suppose," he said gloomily, "that
all Is over, MabeL I shall have to
give you up, darling. Billy Wctmore"—
"What!" she cried indignantly. "Give
me up on account of $C.S0?"
"Six dollars and eighty cental I
don't understand!" gasped Jack.
"Of course you don't But that Is
all we are short on our five thou
sand."
"I— I"— stammered ber lover. Then
with infinite gentleness: "It's 20 per
cent, dear, one-fifth he offers. Under
stand? One-fifth of our Ave thousand
-Just one thousand, dear, just oue"
"Ob. no, it Isn't," she interposed Ini -
patiently. "You see. pupa"—
"What has be been doing now?"
asked Jack doubtfully.
"He saved the situation for you and
himself," she nssured him. "You see,
I told papa veryuauy uwi ai iue enu
of the year I would marry you any
way, money or no money"—
"Mabel, darling, I can't do It!"
"Because you do not love me any
more. Jack?" she asked cruelly.
"You know better than that Mabel,"
he replied reproachfully.
"Forgive me, dearest," she said con
tritely. "I do know It" She tender
ly placed one of her pink fingers on
her conspicuous photograph. "As I was
saying—and. please, let us talk busi
ness, dear—papa, being assured that I
would marry you anyway, proceeded,
lawyer-like, to save his face. When he
learned that you—poor, overtrustful
boy—were letting your monthly earn
ings stand with Mr. Wctinore .he
wrote that gentleman—whom, in the
first place, he had Induced to offer you
this place—all about why you were
working so bard and induced him to
send your monthly earnings to the
Pillincsby National bank, where the
money la now deposited in your name.
But tliere is only $4,093.20, and papa's
strong point as a lawyer always has
been technicalities. So I came to New
York—in some way—to get that SG.80.
And. oh. Jack—my own dear, splendid,
faithful Jack—we have to get it hon
istly or at least legally."'
One hour later (western time) Mr.
William Ainsworth sat in the morris
chair in his library, chuckling over the
following telegram:
Dear Papa—Jack is here at hotel. Ho
lust sold me his supply of drus samples
at sacrifice. Six dollars and eighty cents!
Please deposit that amount to his credit
In Pilllngsby National hank and charge
my allowance account We are leaving
for home on midnight train.
Tell Mary Smith she Will bo bridesmaid.
Jack sends his love. Hf is lookin ; well.

SCENE FROM "ON THE STROKE OF TWELVE."
HAVE those decrying conviction on
circumstantial evidence gained
anything In the years the ques
tion has been agitated? Does a man to
whom a felony has been fastened
stand a better chance of acquittal now
although the preponderance of mute
evidence Is against him? Suffice it to
say that even the most eminent stu
dents of criminal Jurisprudence today
will be swayed by circumstantial evi
dence. With such a situation as a nu
cleus a melodrama has been worked
up In "On the Stroke of Twelve."
Harry Dunklnson avows that George
Ade knew what he was talking about
when he wrote "The Fable of the Cold
Gray Dawn of the Morning After."
"Ade must have watched his charac
ter# pretty closely," said Dunklnson,
"for when I woke up In the morning
after my part In the play I had a head
ache that wouldn't come off, not even
with applications of ice water,"
Thomas H. ince's fob Is found. He
lost It last summer while directing ft
scene In "The Bargain/' A search at
the time failed to reveal the ornament,
but recently Mr. Ince went Into the
canyons to superintend a western dra
ma and by-chance stepped, on his long
lost trluket
When "The Perils of Pauline" was
started Pearl White was selected for
the role of Pauline, and certainly no
better selection could have been made.
She took chances that very few men
would have taken and today has the
reputation among movie actors as be
ing the nerviest woman that ever
worked in pictures. When the big new
serial, the "Exploits of Elaine," -was
first talked of It was early decided that
she was- entitled to the part of
Elaine. Miss White Jumped at the
chance. "Now I can Show people that
I can really act" she Is quoted as say
ing.
ROSEMARY THEBY.
In "The Hard Road" from .a he.iu
tiful woman Miss Rosemary TUeby
the film star, Is rcdnced to a shivering
handle asleep on the sidewalk. It l>
quite difficult to Imagine this loveb
favorite to be the same as the be.lrug
gled little body which fades out at the
close of the picture.
And now comes the news that an
other baty has been named after beau
tiful Rosemary Theby, this time from
Dallas, Tex.
Herbert Brenon, the well known pro
ducer of "Neptune's Daughter," "Ivan
hoe," "The Heart of Maryland" and
other successes, has written the screen
adaptation of "Kreutzer Sonata," In
which Nance O'Nell Is being starred.
