CHAPTER A’TTl - T -Me noints out to
Broadway that hv selling tbi plant to the
trust he wHl ruin the town built by his
ancestors and throw 7uo employes out <>f
work. Broadway d.-eid.-s that be will not
sell. Wallace receiv. ... an offer of $i,F,no.ono
from the trust and is amazed when
Broadway turns it down.
'Broadway had his high triumphant
moment when it became apparent that
Wallace would of necessity go to the
village barber shop. Having come
away in flight from Mrs. Gerard with
i out bags or luggage of whatever kind,
he had no razor with him.
“My whiskers are so whitish that
they will not begin to show until the
afternoon!” Broadway exulted. ‘‘By
that time Rankin will be here with
bags.”
‘‘I’ll Avail for him. I won’t see any—”
“You’ll be sure to see the judge’s
daughter. All the Jonesville girls that
wor k at the gum factory get up at six
o’clock. The idle, aristocratic class,
like Clara, stay in bod till seven.”
“Well, wuere is it, then?’’ said Wal
lace in an evil temper.
‘ What? The village barber shop?
Next door.” Broadway wrung his
hand. "Good-by old chap; good-bv. '
I’ll—”
Just give my love to Broadway,
Wallace begged.
Jackson Jones grew sober in an in
stant. “I don’t expect I’ll see much
of it for a while.”
“It must be permanent!” said Wal
lace. “It has lasted through the long
est night the world has ever known.”
The day already was well under way
at the Jones factory. Josie had been
at her managerial desk not less than
an hour and probably an hour and a
half when Wallace started for the bar
ber shop.
It w’as a very trying morning for the
girl. The events of the night before
had much upset her, and her sleep had
been as much disturbed as Broadway's,
although, perhaps, less physically
painful.
She had been terribly* in earnest in
everything which she had said to him
about his duty to the village which had
made him rich, his duty to the family
whose name he bore, his duty to him
self; she had been intensely worried,
still was intensely worried, lest all
which she had said might go for
naught, failing to impress him perma
nent ]y.
He had doubtless meant well when
he left her, but would that good inteu
tion siand the test of Wallace's ridi
cule (she felt certain Wallace would
oppose her plan) and his own contem
plation of the future for a night?
She had a hazy notion of what the
life of idle rich youth in New York
must be, but imagined that it must
attract with vivid power, and she could
guess that Jonesville did not. Would
he hold firm in the determination
which she felt sure he had formed?
When the judge came in he found
her wondering and worrying as she
waited for some papers she had sent a
clerk to get. Already she had almost
finished the statement of affairs which
she had promised to give Broadway.
“Weil, I just came over from the
Grand hotel,” the judge began.
"Did you see the young man?”
“Only for a minute.” The judge
laughed indulgently. “He w. s eating
breakfast in his room, and his valet
had just borrowed some hot flat-irons
and v, as pressing out his clothes.” The
j :«!.••• s laughter became very hearty.
L .1 Josie smjied; bm the fact .that
they had brought a vaiet with them
was a bit of news to her. She ex
pressed surprise.
The judge laughed again. “Oh, he
just got here this morning. It seems
they both came off without any bag
gage. so they telephoned the valet, late
last night, to bring them on some
clothes.’’
"It must have been very late, for it
was almost eleven when they left your j
house, wasn’t it?”
“Oh, those New York people—they !
don't think a thing of sitting up till :
all hours- midnight, sometimes later!”
The judge preened himself a little
after this sensational statement, and
Josie, though she had heard such wild
tales in the past, was much impressed
by this one. It seemed so much more
possible more real, now that she had
seen Broadway in his maturity. How
exciting it must be to stay up, right
along, till midnight! But it must
strain one's health. She hoped he
would not do it ofien in the future!
She was beginning to feel a definite
persona’ interest in the youth's health i
Such a nice young man! For him tc
dissipate his life away by staying up
at right, that way—
"He promised to be here at ten fif
teen," she ventured.
"Yes: that’s what brought me over:
He asked me to tell you that he'd be a
little late. I guess he didn't sleep very
well. He says he had a lot of herrible
dreams. What sort of a talk did you
have with him last, night, anyhow?”
“Didn’t he tell you?”
"No; he left the house soon after,
you did. You must have said some- j
thing that upset him. He acted dread- ;
fully worried.”
Josie bent above her work. She !
could not tell even the judge of the
intensity of feeling which she had put
into that long conversation with Broad
way.
She had not slept so very well her
self. She had wondered if he thought
her bold, officious, to have given him
advice so freely, to have told him what
i she had about what she believed to
be his duty. She knew that, now and
then, she had been almost impassioned
in her plea for Jonesville and its
people. She wondered if he thought
her silly, over-earnest. But she told
the judge none of these things. They j
were hidden in her heart. That heart
had known a lot of turmoil since
Broadway had come back.
I simply told him the true state of
affairs and explained to him what the
plant meant to ’the town,” she said
and bent above her papers on the
desk.
"\v hat did he say?" asked the persis
tent iudge.
Much as she loved the judge, she
wished that lie would go away and
question her no further. There was a
little feeling in her hpart that she must
file that talk with Broadway among
the things which she held sacred. All
women have a secret file of memories
of that sort. She could not talk about
it.
‘‘He said nothing very mueh.”
Then a detail of his talk which had
intensely puzzled her came back to
her. and she decided to discuss it with
the judge.
"He kept inquiring how much cash
we had.” She smiled, not critically.
"He doesn't seem to be much of a
business man.”
“He struck me that way, too.” the
judge said gravely. “Did he say the
trust made him an offer?”
She sighed. "Yes.” Ah. if she had
failed to move hint! He might al
ready have accepted it. and then what
would be the fate of Janesville! This
thought made her very nervous.
The judge nodded wisely. “That's
what I thought.”
She sighed again. There was a long
silence, full of troubled thoughts.
“Did he talk as if he intended to
sell?" the judge asked Anally.
She worked at her papers nervously
a moment before she framed the words
o* her reply “I'm afraid that’s what
he's thinking of. judge.” After a si
lent moment, site straightened out
more patters, and then looked up again.
“We must do ail we can tc* influence
him against it."
The judge nodded, then rose, and
after a worried turn about the great,
hate room, approached her and stood
facing her with eyes intently on her
face. “You have Influence with him,
Josie.”
She could not meet his eves, yet was
not certain why. She hoped that what
1ip said was true, yet scarcely dared to
think it "Do you think so?" she asked
somewhat weakly.
The judge answmred in a hearty
voice, full of real confidence. “I know
it. You made a great impression on
him. He likes you, Josie."
This was entirely unexpected. It
confused her, even in the office where
she had so trained herself to business
that nothing ordinarily could affect
her. Sht felt that she could rightly
show rejoicing at the i ws, for it
well lux Jonesvilh. but. a,t the
same time, she was inwardly aware
that it was not because it boded wo'.l
for Jonesvilie that she really was
pleased by it.
"Oh. nonsense, judge!”
But he was very much in earnest :t
was plain enough that he attached io
ignitieance other than commercial .o
his liking of which he spoke, it u,a
* fortunate fact, and that was all.
“He thinks you know your busine.-;- ”
he declared.
Clara Spotswood.
Somehow she was intensely disap- '
pointed. For this she criticised her
self. What could be better than to
have the owner of the enterprise of ;
which she virtually was manager think [
she knew her business? This was cer- j
tainlv good reason for congratulation. ■
She must not be silly. Confidence in : i
her ability at business might even help j
to influence him toward refusing to j ■
sell out. If she could but impress him | |
with the fact that she was able, might j i
it not be possible that his confidence ;
in large future profits would weigh
powerfully? | ,
To her surprise she heard a chuckle
from the judge and when she looked
at him discovered definite amusement i
on his face.
“And after you had gone last night, !
he just raved about your eyes!” the old
man happily informed her.
“My eyes!” She felt the blood I
I mounting to her cheeks and tried to 1
hide them with an industry which kept j
' her bent above her papers. If he had j
raved about her eyes then the impres
sion she had made on him was not en- J
tirely commercial!
“That’s what he did! He said you |
had tlie bluest eyes he’d ever seen!”!
Now the judge laughed heartily.
Site flushed with sudden wrath.
“Why, judge, my eyes are gray!”
The judge himself wras now’ sur- <
prised. He had believed them brown.
"Are they?” He arose, went to her,
and, through His thick-iensed specta
cles, peered at her face. “Why, so
they are!" He walked away, non
plussed. “Well, what do you think of
that!”
“I think—”
•‘Perhaps he’s er’or blind," the judge I
said hopefully. "1 guess 1 have been." |
“Maybe that is it.”
They were interrupted by Sara Hig- i
gins. The foreman, it appeared, wished |
to talk to Josie. Sam had a way of al
most shutting both Jiis eyes and throw
ing back his head when he announced
tilings of this kind.
“Yes," said Josie, with the indiffer
ence of tiie business woman who has
long been of authority, "I'll see hint in
just a few minutes.”
Sam whirled slowly, went to the door
and loudly delivered her message, as
if his voice must reach to the factory's ;
farthest end.
This focused the judge’s attention !
upon something he had been consider- '
:ng. He leaned above the desk and |
poke to Josie confidentially. "1
hought of somethiifg on the way over.
Josie. Nobody but us knows that the '
oung fellow is in town. He registered !
it the Grand, you know, under the '
ianie of Jackson. Maybe the people
n the plant are getting nervous.”
“Yes, they are," she granted. "There -
lave been so many rumors of the sale. ;
I’m worried."
“Well, then, don’t you think it might
tie a good tiling to spread the news
around among the%ien a little?”
She evidently agreed, for she vigor
ously nodded and tapped a bell. "Per
haps it would be a good idea."
Noting that she had rung the bell,
the juuge held up a warning hand i
“Don’t do it that way. You leave it to j c
me. I won't have to ‘tell more than I
one or two of them.” lie chuckled. "I”) i
step in on my way out and tell you
what effect it has.”
“Yes, do, judge."
“Are you ready for Higgins?”
"Yes: tell him to come in.”
Going to the door, the judge beck i
oned to the man, who was waiting in t
the shop beyond, and the gangling, i
plainly heavy-minded and exceedingly 1
Intense foreman entered. i
“How do you feel today, Joe?” 'the '
judge asked kindly. i
1 don’t fee] very well," Higgins an- I
swered gloomily and frowning. <
The judge looked at him, smiling, .
not entirely w ith approval. “You nev
er do. do you, Joe?” Higgins made no 1
answer; the judge laughed and disap
peared _ _ - .
Well, what is it, Higgins?” Josie in
quired without delay, looking tip at the
unpleasantly fared creature as if Bhe
had no time to waste.
He came forward lttrchingly, nerv
ously twisting his cap in powerful
hands; hut there was nothing of th«
suppliant about him; rather he seemed
almost to be inclined to threaten. "I
want to ask you a question, Miss Rich
ards.”
“Go right ahead.”
"I'll expect you to tell me the truth
now! ”
She flashed an angry look at him.
Tin not in the habit of lying.”
He gazed at her with lowered head
;ind frowning face. His words cam#
slowly, as if he found it difficult to find
them; but he did not speak with hesi
tation; indeed, there was that about
him which hinted at the labor unioa
srator.
“I'm talking for every man in the
n'ant," he began, with rising voire, en
deavoring to be impressive. ' We had
* meeting this morning, and we want
to know whether this eoneern is going
into the trust or not! Wo decided that
were entitled to some information,
and that's what I'm here Tor; to find
aut what you know about it.”
This naturally angered her. Sha
was not one to he browbeaten, and ha
was plainly trying to browbeat her.
She flushed vividly, I don’t know
anything about it.”
His voice reached a tone higher In
its pitch. “Well, if you don't, who
iocs?”
"I'm sure I don’t know.”
Now, he was definitely bullying.
Well, we must have an answer, one
way or the other. It's our work and
our living, and we've got to know
where we are at.”
She paid no a*tention to his definite
y offensive manner now. • you'll have
,o get your information from the man
who owns the plant.”
“Well, where's he?”
“Right here in town.”
He was amazed. Ho had not dreamed
f this. “Yct,”*v There (a town?”
“tos; he's stopping at the Grand
tot eh”
“When did he get here?”
“Last evening.”
“Have you seen him?"
“Yes."
It was plain' enough that Higgins'
nost vivid suspicions were aroused,
le looked at her accusingly. His voice
vas even louder than it had been. "He
;ot here last evening, eh? Then that
lettles it!” He went to her desk and
eaned across it as if indicting her.
‘He came here wdth that trust fellow-,
lidn’t he?"
Now she, in turn, was rer’ly sur
prised. “What trust fellow?” <
"Pembroke: one of the head men of
:he Consolidated."
None but a fool could have doubted
her amazement and her worry as she
rose and walked closer to him. “Is
Pembroke here in town?"
"Oh." tie sneered. "You didn’t know
that, eh?”
“I certainly did not.”
He did not quite believe her. yet
took a certain pleasure in imparting
‘The Business Will Need Your At
tention."
he distressing news to her, on the
hance that she was truthful and had
tot before heard it. "Well, lie's here,
■several of the men saw him ami reeog
t inert him. I suppose lie's here with
lones to close us out. Is that ii ?”
"I don’t know any more about it
han you do. Higgins."
This did not impress or interest him.
Von say the young fellow's stopping
it the Grand?”
"Yes."
"Well, nobody here knows anything
»bout it." -
"I believe he registered under an
>ther name.” She could have bitten
>ff her tongue for letting this slip out.
Instantly the man assumed lhal this
‘onfirmed his most unfavorable prog
lostications. “Ah. ha! Well, what did.

"flow should I know?”
“Well," he shouted. "1 guess I <k>!

t's a rotten thing he's doing and lie's

ip and down the room in deep and
leavy thmight. "The men are not in.
