not to reveal the fact that the earl is h«s

f(*r bis son. Bob Broadwav declares his
'ove for Josie and is accepted.
“Well, here I am,” the erstwhile
perfect serving man announced. “1
suppose you thought you were never
going to see me again.”
“Hello, Rankin. When did you get
in?”
“Just now. I've a great degl to tell
you, Mr. Jones.”
"What detained you?”
Rankin, looking at the young ladies,
did not at once reply in detail. It was
evident that there were some partic
ulars to be divulged which he wished
Broadway's ears alone to hear. “It
was necessary.”
“Why didn’t you send me some
word?”
“I can exlpain all that.”
"Girls, will you excuse us?” Broad
way asked, and as they nodded went
slowly down upon the lawn with Ran
kin toward a clump of cedarB. It had
been planted in a circle, a favorite and
funereal form of lawn decoration in
those latitudes, and in the solemn
space inclosed there was. he knew, a
garden seat. “Just a few moments,"
Broadway pleaded as he went with
Rankin toward this deep seclusion.
"Then I'll walk home with you."
"All right.” Curiosity consumed
the maidens. All this seenjed exceed
ingly exciting to them. But. after all,
they were not sorry for an opportunity
to talk alone for a moment.
Broadway was very anxious, but
Rankin said no word until they were
within the leafy chamber. Even after
they had reached its solitude Broad
way had to urge:
“Well, come on; what's the news?”
‘ Surprising news, sir," Rankin an
swered hesitantly.
Broadway was all the more impa
tient. "Well, tell me; tell me! What
did she say? How did you get rid of
her?”
“1—1 didn't get rid of her, sir.”
"What? Where did you leave her
then?”
“I—didn’t leave her, 'sir. I’ve been
with her ever since."
“Where is she now?" asked Broad
way timorously, his voice weakening.
“She’s her'e, sir.”
. This.was terrifically shocking. The
worst had come to pass tnen those
i fears which were so had that thev
had been put aside as utterly unthink
able. ‘‘Site came back with you?"
There was a look of horror on the face
of Jackson Jones.
"Yes, sir.”
His master's wrath rose. “You idiot'
What did you let her do that for?”
j Rankin spoke slowly and reluctant
ly. "She insisted that she must see
you and talk with you, sir.”
Now rose a soul in wild revolt. "1
won't see her! I won't talk to her!"
"But she’s right outside the hedge,
sir. You must see her!”
"I—”
"Oh, she’s perfectly reconciled, sir:
believe me—”
Here was a shock as pleasant as
the other had been terrible. It was
almost too good to be true. "Recon
ciled! You mean she understands
that 1—”
"Oh. yes, sir. She’s already sent
out a denial of her engagement to
you.”
His hearer could have rent the air
with shouts of joy, but did not. He
only asked inanely: “Has she?”
“YTes. sir.” Now Rankin once more
hesitated. "In the form, sir. of—er—
another announcement.”
This nearly stunned bis master
"You mean she’s engaged to someone
else?”
“Yes, air: she’s going to marry the
earl of Cortland.”
The recently harassed youth bright
ened. Was life to be entirely smooth
and joyous after all, instead of only
partly merry, with the balance turned
into a tragedy by his ancient "Sweet
heart, dearie?” "The earl of Corf
land!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, sir; will you see her, sir? I
think it's best for all concerned."
“You’re sure, are you? It’s not a
dream, or anything like that? She
isn't trying to trap me?”
| "No, sir. May I ask her to come in?
She's just behind the hedge.”
“Did Boh see her?”
"No: he was so busy talking with
his father, sir, that he did not recog
j nize us as we passed. Seems to be
j most earnest, sir, his father.”
“Rankin, if you're certain, bring her
: in. But if—”
I “I'm unite certain, sir."
: Jackson waited for them near the
! entrance to the verdant circle. He
thought it bettei not to go back to
the house. Even if the lady was quite
reconciled there still might be some
details of her conversation which- he
would not care to have heard by the
girls—especially one of the girls.
Almost immediately Rankin re
turned with Mrs. Gerard, not onlv
walking by his side, but clinging to
his arm. Her voice did not sound
warlike as she greeted Broadway.
“How do you do, Jackson?” she said
quietly.
"How do you do, Mrs. Gerard?”
“Has Rankin told you?”
“Yes, Mrs. Gerard; Rankin has told
I me.”
one reaiiy seemea very mucn upser,
but not belligerently so. “I’d never
i be happy if New York should imagine
I’d been jilted, or the subject of a
j practical joke,” she began simply “My
| excuse for throwing you over is a very
good one—my engagement to the ear’
of Cortland.”
He bowed, too puzzled to find any
words.
"After a few hours' talk with Ran
kin I became convinced that a mar
raige between you and me never would
have been a happy one.”
Again Broadway nodded. He could
quite agree with that.
“Hence my decision to marry the
earl.” She went closer to him almost
pleadingly. "I’ve played fair with you,
Jackson; now I want you to do the
same by me.”
"I’ll do anything you ask," he for
vently assured her. “Anything with
in reason. Mrs. Gerard.
“All I ask is that yon keep my
secret.”
i “1 will. What is it?”
“You really don’t knowT?”
"No. Mrs. Gerard."
After another tiny hesitation sh«
held out her hand to Rankin. “May I
present the earl of Cortland?” she
said, leading the abashed butler for
ward.
“AVhat!” Broadway was astonished
almost to the point of physical col
lapse.
“It’s true,” she went on gravely.
“We’ve had a thorough understanding, j
and Rankin has agreed to become an j
earl.”
Again Broadway’s surprise was al
most more than he could quietly sup
port.
I "Oh, don’t be Astonished! It's my
only protection. H*ve I your solemn
promise that you'll not divulge the se ,
cret?” , '
“1 give you my w-ord of honor,” he
said fervently.
“Very well. Ooodby!”
He earnestly shook bands with her. ,
“Qsodby, Mnc Gerard. i hope you
will he very happy.’’
"It isn't a question of happiness.
Jackson." she said slowly, and in «
way that somewhat worried him. "i
simply don't want to he humiliated.
You understand?"
"Yes 1 understand, Mrs. Gerard."
She turned to the earl of Cortland
"Shake hands with Mr. Jonej, Ran
kin."
Jackson pulled him to one side, al
most indignantly. "See here. Rankin,
do you mean to tell me that you'd do
such a mean contemptible thing as
to marry a woman deliberately for her
money?”
"Yes, sir,” said Ranldn very gravely,
"and thank you, sir, for the opportu
nity.”
"Come, earlie,” Mrs. Gerard called
softly.
“Yes, Beatrice.” He dropped the
hand of his erstwhile employer and
took the arm of his affianced wife.
"We have just six minutes before
train time," she admonished him. and
turned to Broadway, who was stand
ing. dazed. “Goodby!”
He had gone back to the house and
was standing leaning somewhat weak
ly against a pillar of the porch, unable
even to make her presence known to
the two girls whose laughing, low
toned gossip he could hear from be
hind the vines, when Wallace came
up with his father. He listened to
his friend’s remarks mechanically.
“Yes." he was saying, “the entire
population of the town is about four
thousand. The plant employs about
seven hundred." Then, catching sight
of Broadway: “There’3 Jackson now.
Tell him what you just toid ine.”
Broadway went to meet them, glad
to have the opportunity to test life
and make sure that it was real, even
if the proof showed that the eider
Wallace was entirely hostile.
"They offered >ou a million and a
half, didn't they?" asked Bob.
"Yes, that’s what they offered—a
million and a half.”
"Mr. Jones,” said the elder Wallace,
not without enthusiasm, “my son has
been telling me of the grand, single
handed tight that you are making
against this giant corporation. 1 ad
mire your pluck, sir.”
Broadway looked at him with real
nrprise and hearty gratitude. It
seemed that even this was coming
out all right!
"You deserve all the encouragement
and assistance possible,” said this sud
denly delightful gentleman. “Your
loyalty to the people of this little
town is commendable, sir. You de
serve great credit, and I want to shake
your hand.”
"Thanks. Mr. Wallace, but the crpdit
really belongs to Bob.” The delicti*
'hieh Broadway fell was plainly aud
ihle in his voice.
Boh laughed. "I knew he'd say
thnt!"
“lie has told me of your modesty,”
said the elder Wallace. "1 am very
proud that you have taken him into
ihe firm, and If advertising Inis any
market value we’ll fight them to a fin
ish. I have promised my son to return
here Monday morning. I may have a
proposition to put before you. I’d
like to see him an equal partner in a
business with such a promising fu
ture."
"I don’t know what to say, Mr. Wal
lace,” Broadway answered, and he
really did not.
“Monday will be time enough,” the
?lder Wallace answered genially.

“Going to motor back?” asked Bob.
“Yes; I prefer ray motor car to the
railroad. See you Monday. Good
night!”
"Isn’t it like a dream?” asked Bob
ifter the last glimmer of glow from
he car's headlight had vanished down
he road.
"I can’t believe it's true.”
“He wants to buy a half interest in
four business. Did you get that?”
"All I want is enough to pay my
lebts.”
Bob laughed. "Don’t tell him that;

"But—”

"Go on. tell me."

Wallace took this in a gulp of joy.
"Honestly?”
"I just got the word.”
"A million congratulations, old pall”
j In a mad enthusiasm he shook hands
with Broadway. "Throe cheers for
everybody in the world!”
Broadway seized him and. in an ac
cess of perfect satisfaction with the
way the world was wagging they
danced there in the moonlight.
"The earl of Cortland?” Bob ex
claimed at length. “Who the deuce
is he? I never heard of him.”
"I have. I’ve seen him."
“You have? What does he look
like?”
Broadway paused, as if in thought.
"Well, he's the very image of—say,

"Rankin ?"
“Yes. Well, he loot s just Tke him.
You’d hardly know them apaiv.”
"You don’t say?"

laughed. “Come on. Let's go and get

“Oh. let's! Come on, Josie."
“We'll he right along." said Broad
way. "Yon go on ahead.”
Josie came down the steps vrith logs
precipitancy than Clara, but she did
not really hesitate. Broadway went
to her with hand outstretched to help
and that peculiarly earnest fare lie
always wore when thinking deeply,
even of (lie most delightful subjects.
“Do you care if I call you 'Josie'?”
he inquired. “He calls her ‘Clara’ and
she calls him 'Bob.' ”
“Why, that’s my name." said she
with the simplicity of the frank coun
try maiden.
He wasted not a moment's time.
"That's not the reason I’m ao anxious
to.” he said. “It's because I'm fond
of you. I love you. Josie."
"Why, how can you say Rtich a
