Sweethearts, that day in the .Tones
plant, would have scornfully rejected
sweethearts who showed any sign of
treason to the young proprietor; fa
| thers would have thrashed a son who
sneered at Broadway; mothers would
I have chided daughters (more likely
| would have spanked them fiercely)
I who offered slurs upon what had oc
curred. The capacity of mixers, eook
; ers, drawers, molders, cutters, stack
ers. wrappers, packers, boxers, ship
| pers increased as if by magic. For
their hearts were in their work; they
were hustling for the boss who had
declared his firm intention of hustling
for his workers.
Therefore in the works everything
buzzed and hummed and banged and
clattered with a pleasurable and con
tagious enthusiasm. In the office there
was a warm glow of satisfaction, hut
Broadway’s smile, after the ladies had j
departed. Clara and her mother to I
make calls and pass the joyful news j
about the town triumphantly, Josie to
attend to necessary details of her du
ties. became somewhat weaker than
it had been.
He had gone into the fight, but was
he going to win the fight? It was fine
."‘X
The Judge Beamed Happily.
P_V. undoubted!; it would be
painful to get licketT. l*is knowledge'
of the business world was amply rep
resented by the figure "0." The Trust’s
knowledge of the business world was
represented by the figure ‘'0" and then
another figure “0,” the two preceded
by the figure T.”
They knew 100 per cent, of that
game of which he knew absolutely
nothing. He had defied them, shied
his hat into the ring, and now was
obligini to chastise them drastically
He sighed, thrust his neck out stiffly
and said, trying to be cocky, but, now
mat the excitement had died down :
realising that it would be easy to be !
gloomy:
“Funny Pembroke isn't here.”
He proposed to seorn that person,
iie was keyed up to a mighty candle
power of hot contempt, but he wanted
to pet at it. gH it over with, before
uis. energy had oo/e/t away.
Ale’ll be along.' sa;u v. allace.
“Is it. eleven, yet?”
“.lust.”
Out came Rroadway's nock again
He was even rather nervous. “Who -
are we going to say to him when he j
gets here?"
‘ Remember that you promised to W
me handle him." said Wallace warn
ing!.''. “lie thinks I’m your secretary .'
The judge saw that they were wor
ril'd “If you hoys wanl to talk things
owoj: I'll skip along."
"No, sta# here, judge,” Broadway
urged. “We may need a lawyer."
The judge's face glowed with his
satisfaction.
"We're just waiting for Pembroke,"
said Wallace.
"Pembroke! Oh. yes; some of the
men told me that he is in town.
What's he coming here for?"
"To try to give us a whole lot of
money," Wallace answered. "But we’re
not going to take it." He grinned up
at Broadway. ■ We don’t need it, do
we?"
Jackson looked at him with mourn
ful eves, recollecting all the bills he
had left behind in New York city.
"Don't make me laugh. I didn't sleep
well.”
The judge sow- his young friend's
increasing discomfort. "You've made
the people of this town very happy to
dtty. jny boy. You ought to sleep well
after this. They owe you 'a great
debt."
Jackson passed th° compliment, but
winced. “Please don't talk about debts!
Hot's get on a cheerful subject." With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wallace. “How's the bar
ber?”
The judge seized this opportunity
to extol a local genius. “Ain't lie a
nice fellow, though?"
"Yes," said Wallace dryly, "he out
Taft’s hair once.”
"I shouldn't be surprise," the judge
assented heartily. “He's from Hart
ford." * ,
His remarkable appreciation of the
dignity and glories of the little cities
was a continual joy to the two friends
who smiled across his nodding head at
one another.
Wallace looked around appreciative
ly. "The old gentleman had pretty
nice offices here."
■‘Yes,'' the judge agreed. lie nod
ded toward the desk at which Broad
way had carelessly taken his position.
"S“ems strange not to see him sil
ting at. that desk." He sighed. "First,
old Oscar Jones sat there, and In
died: then John sat there, anil he died:
then Andrew sat there, and he died:
now —"
Broadway, who had listened to the
brief hut tragical recital with expand
ing orbs, got up, and. as he edged
away from the too fatal piece of office
furniture, eyed it with suspicion and
distaste. "That’s the last time I'll sit
there,” he declared.
Put Judge Spotswood had not seen
the byplay and did not hear the youth's
resolve, lie was launched on reminis
cence. "Every man in the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty had. Just think l\e was alive
72 hours ago, and now tho whole
town's in mourning!”
It was at this juncture that Higgins,
a new and happy Higgins, entered,
cap in hand, respectfully. lie was
smiling genially. "Excuse me, Mr.
Jones, the men want to know if you
have any objection to their celebrat
ing tonight.” •
He bowed respectfully to .Tosie, who
entered at that moment
“They're thinking of having a torch
light parade ahd fireworks in honor
of your taking up things ut the works.
Is it all right?”
The judge beamed happily. What
could be more significant of the new
day which had dawned on Jonesvillo
than this speech from Higgins, erst
while the dissatisfied, the eomplainer?
“That’s a bully idea!” he exclaimed
enthusiast icallv.
Wallace and Jackson looked at one
another in a pleased appreciation. It
aa J-._-.ie who instinc'_'Jv * . tho
flaw which had escaped me norcte or
workmen in the shops and which now
escaped the four there in the office.
"Why, judge!" said she, shocked and
scandalized.
"What s the matter?”
Hut .losfe would not even look at
him. In a repro'#'iful voice she turn
ed to Higgins. "Tell the men to do
nothing of the kind." she said with
emphasis. "Don’t they realize what
has happened? How can they forget
so quickly?”
Now a light burst, even upon Hig
gins "Oh. that’s so, I’ll have to re
mind them of that!”
Wallace was still puzzled, but Rroad
way was beginning to understand.
“Hy George," said the judge, "1 for
got all about it myself!”
A bright light bursting upon Wal
lace, he went to Jones and slapped
him on the back. "The king is dead,”
he quoted, "long live the king!”
• Jackson winced. He reflected that
this showed the gratitude, the cherish
ing regard of the workingmen. His
uncle had just gone to his reward and
now, because he, the heir, in a mo
ment of decent impulse, had done the
square thing by them, the faithful la
borers were quite content to follow
their old friend’s obsequies by torch
lights borne in glory to the new one
while brass bands played ragtime!
Josie had looked up the correspon
dence with the Empire Advertising
Agency, and now gave the letters she
had found to Wallace.
He looked at them, frowned, shook
his head and bit his lip, very much
astonished, very much annoyed. "It’s
the Empire, all right," he was forced
to admit. Hut before he had a chance
to read the letters, Sam came in
tramping like a little elephant, threw
back his massive head, half closed his
eyes and roared:
“Mr.—1’rtnbroke—and—Mr.—Ix>ary—
■ o -see—Mr. Jones."
"Tell them to come right in.” said
Rroadway. His neck thrust this way
and that—two thrusts in honor of big
business.
Wallace smiled. “Judge,” he said,
did you ever see a man refuse to take
a million and a half?”
"Not yet."
“Well, watch the little professor,
over there." He nodded toward Rroad
way. Then, to tin- man of wliom he
had been speaking: “Sit at. that desk
and look business-like."
“In that chair?" asked Rroadw-ay
with determination. "Not. after what
he said! ‘And then he sat there, and
he died.’ No, I’ll die standing up.”
"Shall I go?" asked Josie.
"No: please don’t."
Then Pembroke entered, trailed by
a. ssIIonv person, young in years, old
In expression, and bearing in his hand
M
“We’re Not Going to Sell. We’re Go
ing to Fight.’!
a new stenographer’s notebook and a
little group of flnMy sharpened pen
cils, which he carried as if they might
have been small, very deadly weap
ons, to be used in time of need upon
his master’s enemies.
“How do you do, Mr. Pembroke,"
said Broadway with what he conceiv
ed to be great dignity.
“Mr. .Ior.es,” said Pembroke, bowing
formally.
1 (roadway waved him to the fatal
chair. “Sit right down here,” he
urged.
No, thank you," Pembroke coun
tered.
"He's on!" Broadway whispered to
Wallace.
Gravely Pembroke bowed to all the
others of the party, murmuring, as lie
Id so, their names. But as he bowed
o Wallace he said "Wilson."
“‘Wilson?’" said the judge and
osie in astonishment and coneert.
Bob winked at them. "Y.es; that’s
ight." he hissed. That's my name.”
This over, Pembroke turned to his
tenographer, who had found a seat
pon an office stool. "Take the en
ire conversation, John," he directed.
Tins feazed Broadway for an in
dent but he recovered quickly. Was
ite to he outdone by this emissary of
lie Gum Trust in presenting evidences
of suspicion? Not if he, Broadway
Tones, was kept informed of what was
going on, he wasn't. He pointed to a
youth whom he had seen about th«
office frequently, and asked Josie:
Stenographer, is he?”
Site nodded.
"What’s his name?” asked Broad
way, in a whisper.
"Henry.”
Broadway was content. With a
grand air and several protrusions of
the nock, he ordered: "Take the entire
conversation, Henry.” Outdone by
anyone like Pembroke! He thought
not! *
'Are we to talk in the presence of
alL here?” asked Pembroke calmly,
cndly. disapprovingly. lie was very
cautious.
■vi’in satisiW'd, if you are," Broadway
answered. "Sit down, ju*jge.’’
"Very well, Mr. Jones,” said Pem
broke gravely. "Mr. Jones. I am not in
U.e U-bit of doin^ business tbcotk:
hirelings." He cast a scornful glance
at Wallace, who smiled sweetly in re
turn. “Your Mr. Wilson, your secre
tary as he represents himself to be,
and whose impertinance by the way,
is beyond description, has hod the
audacity to state that I should hare
! to do business through him or not at
' all.”
“Those were my Instructions," Jack
son answered, never wavering.
“I should like to understand the
reason for so unusual an arrange
ment.”
"Well,” said Jackson, “you want to
buy something that I own. He’s the
salesman, that’s all." He paused,
| wondering at his own great brilliance.
! "John Wanamaker owns a store, hut
| he doesn't wait on the customers,
does he?”
This was unanswerable. It dum
founded Pembroke; it delighted all
the other ht arers. saving only ihe t ivo
secretaries, w ho were bent above their
tasks with nervous diligence.
Broadway himself laughed outright.
"How was that?" he asked Wallace
in a whisper.
"You’re Immense, on the square,”
said Wallace, with intense apprecia
tion.
Pembroke was not thus impressed.
He was offended. He was evidently
ready fpr offence from any quarter.
“You are flippant, sir," he said with a
grave scorn. "You gave me your word
•hat the deal would be consummated
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The price was settled and agreed upon
! by both of us.”
Jackson sat In silence, recard'ng
tim with an innocent, unwavering at
ention which very greatly disronce-'t
jd him.
"1 returned by appointment to your
\'ew York apartment, with my low
ers and napers ready to sign, and
vpon inquiring from an Insolent butW
| n;> ro your whereabouts 1 received the
information that > on were on your
way to Egypt.'’
“Good old Rankin!" muttered Broad
i way, and decided, then and there, to
1 raise his butler's wages once more,
"He said the only word that you had
i left for me was a prof a pee request
| 'hat I go to er— well, we ll not re
i pest it."
I "I'll make that raise a twenty, not
a ten," Brbadway reflected.
"Believing you to be a man of in
tegrity," Pembroke went on, "unfor
tunately for me I had no witnesses
present at our closing of the bargain."
Broadway continued to smile ex
pansively.
“Still," said Pembroke, "I ask you.
as man to man, is your word worth
less?"
Broadway looked at him with an
intensity of gaze which required three
stretchings of the neck to bring about.
"When I’m doing business with un
j scrupulous people, yes," he answered.
Pembroke, shuddering, turned to his
stenographer. “Have you got that,
John?” And John nodded.
"Got that, Henry?” Broadway de
manded of his map. And Henry nod
ded.
Then Broadway walked the floor,
keeping the astonished Pembroke fix
ed with a glittering eye. That care
ful, able, very modern business per
son was rather notably surprised by
| the young man. Somehow he seemed
I to have developed since the hour, so
short a time before, when first lie had
encountered him in New York cityv
"When I fell for your rush football
business methods yesterday and
agreed to sell,” said Broadway, his
voice assuming an extraordinary sing
song, to his friends unusual, to him
self astonishing, to Pembroke discon
certing, and. in later years, a cele
brated thing. "1 wasn't aware of the
law, contemptible tricks to which your
company had stooped in order to put
my poor old uncle out of business.”
His voice thrilled with feeling when
he used those touching words "mv
poor old uncle.” His "poor old uncle”
would have been emphatically' sur
prised had he been there to hear that
thrill.
"I didn't k-n-o-w it wan the result of
the business blows you'd dealt him
that sent him to his g-r-a-v-e." (I am
endeavoring, by means of hyphens, to
indicate the lingering, scathing em
phasis which Broadway. this day sat
urated in the soul of oratory, was giv
ing now to certain words.t "1 didn't,
k-n-o-w It was the purpose of the con
cern with which 1 was dealing to.
throw out of work hundreds of men,
that owed to that thing I was selling
their very means of livelihood, rood
for their babies, education for their
growing sons and d-a-u g-h-t-e r-s."
Kven Wallace looked at him amazed.
Tlie tremolo, the emphasis, the feeling
which Broadway was putting into this
extraordinary line of talk to the trust
agent were all new and beautiful to
him.
j "Lots of things 1 didn't know yester
; day, Mr. Pembroke,” said the young
man in •conclusion, "hut I've found
1 them out since then, and that, is why
I've broken my word."
Pembroke's impassiveness was ruf
fled; there was not. (tie slightest doubt,
of that.
On Josie's face there was a look of
admiration which was balm to Broad
, way's soul; the judge had listened
with a mouth continually opening
wider; Wallace was frankly triumph
ant.
"You didn't think that I could talk
that way, did you?" asked Broadway
of his adversary. Then, to Wallace:,
"How was it?"
"Great!"
"Great?" shld Jackson. “It. was
wonderful! 1 never knew it was in
me." lie was completely satisfied
with Broadway Jones, lie whirled
again on Pembroke. "Go on, say some
thing else."
L’ut Pembroke a stony silence.
