An Old Collego Friend.

I li *rout °' 0110 more daz
191 zllxig modiste's shops lie saw a
- -J limousine drawn up to tho
curb and In it Jack Paddock, friend of
his college days. Paddock leaped
blithely from the machine and grasped
Dick Mlnot by the hand.
"I'ou here?" he cried.
"Foolish question," commented Mr.
Mlnot
"Yes, I know," said Mr. Paddock.
"Been here so long my brain's a little
flabby. But I'm glad to see yon, old
man.'
"Same here." Mr. Mlnot stared at
the car. "I say, Jack, did you earn
that writing Action?'
Paddock laughed.
"I'm not writing much Action now,"
he replied. "The car belongs to Mrs.
Helen Bruce, the wittiest hostess In
San Marco." He came closer. "My
boy," he confided, "I have struck some
thing essentially soft Some time
soon In a room with all the doors and
windows closed and the weather strips
In place I'll whisper It to you. 4've
been dying to tell somebody."
"And the car"—
"Part of the graft, Dick. Here comes
Mrs. Bruce now. Did .1 mention she
was the wittiest—of course I did.
Want to meet her? Well, later then.
You're at the Pas. I suppose. See yon
there."
Mlnot devoted the next hour to sad
introspection In the lobby. It was not
until he was on his way In to dinner
that lie again saw Cynthia Meyrlck.
Then. Just outside the dining room
door, he encountered her, still all in
white, lovelier than ever, In her cheek
a flush of excitement, no doubt put
there by the most Important luncheon
of her life. lie waited for her to rec
ognize him, aud be did not wait in
vain.
"Ah, Mr."
"Mlnot"
"Of course. In the hurry of this noon
I quite overlooked an Introduction. I
am"—
"Miss Cynthia Meyrlck. I happen to
know because I met his lordship In
New York. May 1 ask—was the lunch
eon"—
"Quite without a flaw. So you know
Lord Ilarrowby?"
"Er—slightly. May I offer my very
best wishes?"
"So good of you."
Formal, formal, formal. Was that
how It must be between them here
after? Well, it was better to. Miss
Meyrick presented her father and her
aunt, and that did not tend to lighten
the formality. Icicles, both of them,
though stocky puffing Icicles. Aunt In
quired if Mr. Minot was related to the
Mlnots of Detroit and when he failed
to qualify at obce lost all interest in
him. Old Spencer Meyrlck did not ac
cord him even that much attention.
Yet all was not formal, as it happen
ed, for as Cynthia Meyrick moved
away she whispered, "I must see you
after dinuer—on important business."
And her smile as she said It made Ml
not's own lonely dinner quite cheery.
At 7 in the evening the hotel orches
tra gathered in the lobby for Its night
ly concert, and after the way of or
chestras It wus almost ready to begin
when Minot left the dining room at 8.
He sat down in a veranda chair and
looked ont at the courtyard. In the
splendor of its evening colors tt was
indeed the setting for romance, tn the
midst of the green palms and blooming
things splashed a fountain which
might well nave iwn me ime um
Police de Leon sought On three sides
the lighted towers and turrets of that
huge hotel climbed toward the bright
warm southern sky. A dazzling moon
shamed Mr. Edison's lamps, the breeze
came tepid from the sea, the very
latest In waltzes drifted out from the
gorgeous lobby. Here romance, Mlnot
thought must have been bora.
"Mr. Mlnot, "I've been looking every
where"—
She was beside him now, a slim
white figure In the dusk—the one thing
lacking In that glittering picture. He
leaped to meet her.
"Sitting here dreaming, I reckon,"
she whispered, "of somebody far
away."
"No." He shook his head. "I leave
that to the newly engaged."
She made no answer. He gave her
his chair and drew up another for
himself.
"Mr. Mlnot," she said, MI was ter
ribly thoughtless this noon. Bnt you
must forgive me—I was so excited. Mr.
Mlnot—I owe you"—
She hesitated. Mlnot bit his Up sav
agely. Must he hear all that again?
How much she o^red him for hia serv
ice—for getting her to that luncheon in
time—that wonderful luncheon.
"I owe you," finished the girl softly,

the face of a watch. Let us find some
plensaater topic. I believe Lord Har
rowby said you were to be married
soon?"
"Next Tuesday. A week from to
morrow."
"In San Marco?"
"Yes. It breaks anintle's heart that
It can't be in Detroit. Lord Harrowby
is her triumph, you see. But father
can't go north in the winter—and Al
lan wishes to be married at once."
Mlnot was thinking hard. So Har
rowby was auntie's triumph? And
was he not Cynthia Meyrlck's as well?
He would have given much to be able
to Inquire.
Suddenly, with the engaging frank
ness of a child, the girl asked:
"Has your engagement ever been an
nounced?" Mr. Miuot
"Why—er—not to my knowledge,"
Mlnot laughed. "Why?"'
"I was Just wondering—if it made
everybody feel queer. The way it
makes ma feel. Ever since 1 o'clock—
I ought never to say it—I've felt as
though everything was over. I've
seemed old—old!" She clinched her
fists and spoke almost In terror. "I
don't want to grow old. I'd hate it!"
"It was here." said Mlnot softly,
"Ponce de Leon sought the fountain of
youth. When you came up I was pre
tending the one splashing out there
was that very fountain Itself—
"If It only were!" the girl cried. "Oh,
you could never drag me away from
It! But it isn't It's supplied by the
San Marco waterworks, and there's a
meter ticking •omewhere, I'm Bur*.
And now, Mr. Mlnot"—
"I know. You mean the ?35 I paid
otir driver. I wish you would write
me a check. I've a reason." •
"Thank you. I wanted to—so much.
HI bring It to you soon."
She was gone, and Mlnot sat staring
Into the palms, his lips Arm, his hands
gripping the arms of his chair. Sud
denly, with a determined leap, be was
on his feet
A moment later he stood at the tele
graph counter in the lobby, writing In
bold, flowing characters a message for
Mr. Jolin Thacker on a certain seven
teenth floor, New York:
I resign. Will stay on the Job until a
substitute arrh-es, but start him when you
tot this. RICHARD MINOT.
The telegram sent, he returned to his
veranda chair to think. Thacker would
be upset of course. But. after all.
Thacker'a claim on uim was not such
that he must wreck his life's happV
ness to serve him. Even Thacker must
see that
The red glow of a cigar near by drew
closer as the smoker dragged his chalz
across the veranda floor. Mlnot saw
behind the glow the keen face of a
man eager for talk.
"Some scene, Isn't it 7" eaia tne
stranger. "Sort of makes the musical
comedies look cheap. All It needs Is
seven stately chorus ladles walking .
out from behind that palm down to the
left and It would have Broadway lath
ed to the mast"
"Yes," replied Minot absently. "This
la the real thing."
"I've been sitting here thinking," the
other went on. "It doesn't seem to me
this place has been advertised right
Why, there are hundreds of people up
north whose windows look out on tun
set over the brewery—people with
money, too—who'd take the first train
for here If they realized the picture
we're looking at now. Get some good
hustler to tell 'em about it"— He
paused. "I hate to talk about myself,
but say—ever hear of Bunker's Ink
eraser? Nothing ever written- Bunker
can'-c erase. Will not soil or scratch
the paper. If the words Bunker has
erased were put side by side"— « . ^
"Selling It?" Minot Inquired wearily.
"No. But I made that eraser. Put It
on every desk between New York and
the rolling Oregon. After that I land*
ed Helot's bottled sauces. And then
Patterson's lime juice. Puckered every
mouth In America. Advertising is my
specialty." t „\
"So I gather." ;
"Sura as rou sit here. .Have .a rtgwr.

Qoottng from my letterhead." Ho lean
ed clo«cr. "Excuse a personal ques
tion, but didn't I see you, talking with
Miss Cynthia Meyriek a while back?"
"Possibly."
Mr. Trimmer came even closer.
"Engaged to Lord Harrow by, I un
derstand"
"I believe so"—
"Young fellow"—Mr. Trimmer's tone
was exultant—"I can't keep lh any
longer. I got a proposition In tow bo
big It's bursting my brain cells, and It
tajces some strain to do tbat Mo; 1
can't tell you tbe exact nature of it,
but I will say this—tomorrow night
this time I'll throw a bomb in this ho
tel so load It'll fce beard roand the

"An anarchist?"
"Not on your life—advertiser. And
Pre got something to advertise this hot
February, take It from me. Maybe
you're a friend of Miss Meyrlck. Well,
I'm sorry. For when I spring my little
surprise I reckon this Harrowby wed
ding Is going to shrivel up and fade
away."
"You mean to say you—you're going
to stop tbe wedding?"
"I mean to say nothing. Watch me.
Watcb Henry Trimmer. Just a tip,
young fellow. Well, I guess I'll turn
In. Get some of my boat ideas In bed.
See von lafpr."
And Mr. Trimmer strode Into tbe cir
cle of light, a flue upstanding figure
of a man, to pass triumphantly out of
sight among the palms. Dazed, Dick
Mlnot stared after him.
A voice spoke his name. He turned.
The slim white presence again, holding
toward him a slip of paper.
"The check, Mr. Mlnofc-$35. Is that
correct?"
"Correct It's splendid, because I'm
never going to cash It I'm going to
keep It"—
"Really, Mr. Mlnot I must say
good"—
He came closer. Thacker and Jepb
son faded. New York was far away.
He was young, and the moon was
shining—
"going to keep It—always. The first
letter you ever wrote me"—
"And the last, Mr. Mlnot Really I
must go. Good night"
He stood alone with the absurd check
In his trembling Angers. Slowly the
memory of Trimmer came back. A
bomb? What sort of a bomb?
Well, he had given bis word. There
was no way out; he must protect old
Jephson's Interests. But might he not
wish the enemy success? He stared
off In the direction the advertising wiz
ard had gone. . . .
"Trimmer, old boy," he muttered,
"here's to your pitching arm!"
