CHAPTER XTT Pembroke calls and
Broadway turns down the latest of
•he trust and announces that he intends
* • fiehl. Wallace intimates that his fath
r’s advertising agenov is backing .Tones
end plans .*• big advertising campaign.
Gerard arrives InoNng for Broadway
nd is shooed l>ack to New York by Wal
lace.
Then, „osjp, will you come to din
ner? I'll have .all the boys and girls,
including Judge and Mrs. Spotswood."
“I'll be glad to come," said Josie.
\nd she blushed.
That was not strange, but that
Broadway felt himself confused and
Iso blushing was a thing which had
.ot happened of late years. Sammy
anie in at the moment with a tele
ram for Wallace. Broadway, who
as very happy, as he looked at Josie'4
heck (half view, from tne bauK,
promptly invited him.
"I’ll — be — there,” said the mighty
child. “And — I — shall — bring —
my — banjo.”
Broadway did not notice how his
sweet young office manager involun
tarily shuddered.
It was a pretty evening. The sun
was setting in the midst of an extreme
ly gorgeous Turner sky, even if it was
on Jonesville that the wondrous color
fell in almost painful beauty.
Broadway, tired out, but rather
happy when he came to think of it,
went along the old, familiar street with
a light heart. It might not be so very
terrible to live in Jonesville. There
were- trains that ran to Broadway
when the longing became irresistible
and very possibly this might he better
as a steady diet, lie was surprised to
find himself admitting this.
Sammy was hard at it as the con
vert turned in between tlie two white
gate posts, each eight feet tall and
capped by a great wooden ball which
lie Itad used as target when the snow
had been upon the ground and “packy"
in ids boyhood days. Sammy did not
even look up as he entered.
"Say. Sammy,” lie inquired, after a
moment of attentive listening lo the
production, "I don’t want to interrupt
you, hut did you write that, yourself?”
"Yes — sir.”
“Well,” said the happy Broadway
very gravely, "I don’t think It’s at all
bad,”
Wallace, who had strolled along he
hind him, arrived in time to hear this.
"No, indeed, it was very good.”
“Very — good!” exclaimed the mod
est Sam. “1 — should — say — it —
was —i good!”
Mrs. Spotswood and the judge, hav
ing heard the voices, came out of the
house, where they had been awaiting
the arrival of the young men. The
girls followed them.
“Now —- I’ll — play — you — an
i other — tune — that — I — made —
u” — m.'3elf,”
The judge looked at his son with
tl’-at apologetic tolerance with which
he usually regarded him. He was not
| aehamed of him; but he refused to
take him seriously. He would not even
punish him. “Keep on practicing
Sammy. You’ll get there some day."
Sammy redoubled his slow and
mourniul efforts, knowing in his heart,
undoubtedly, what it was he meant to
play, but communicating to no one.
either by tlie spoken word or any
sound he made upon the strings.
“If you're doing (hat for me, Sam
my,’’ Broadway suggested kindly,
“don’t overtax yourself. I'm willing
you should stop at any time.”
"Well, ' said the good-natured youth.
"I—got—to — practice — anyhow,’’ and
kept on plunking.
Mrs. Spotswood was annoyed, isom
my sometimes got upon her nerves
“Well, go home and practice. Don’t
strum at that thing here.”
He looked up discontentedly as, with
the others except Jackson, ahe wen
up the porch steps and into the house.
He sat fingering the strings half
heartedly for a few seconds, while
Broadway watched him earnestly.
Then, from the interior, came the
sound of a piano. This stirred the
youngster’s ire.
“Say — keep •- that — piano —
H'liet — Will —. you? Gosh shows —
how - much you know ah ut
— music! You — can — hear — a —
piano — any — day. There — ain’t
■— leu — good — banjo — players —in
— Connecticut!”
“You’re all right, Sammy,” Broad
way told him reassuringly. “I don't
know how you stand with the rest of
the folks; but you're all right with
me.”
But the piano was annoying Sam. “I
— ain't — going — to — stay — and —
listen — to — that — darned — old —
! tiling. I'm — goin’ — to — take — my
— banjo — and — go -— home!”
Broadway, with a smile, left him.
and went to join liis guests within.
So did Sammy presently, in answer
| to the pangs of hunger, and they all
had a most extraordinary dinner,
j Sam was incensed after awhile
j That piano once more began to rattle:
no one wished to hear tits banjo, the
world was out of joint. He would not
! stay and sanction such mad judgment.
He would take his banjo and go home.
“Gosh!" he muttered. “That's— all
— the — thanks — I — get — for —
goin’ —^ lo — all — the — trouble —
of — hrlngln’ — inv Instrument —
along —•and — everything. Some —
day — they’ll — be — darned — glad
to — hear — me — play — when — 1
— get — it — down — gtod — and —
perfect!”
Sammy was at the gate between the
high balled posts when a great, lean
and powerful touring ear slid gently
up before them and came to a stand
still.
"Excuse me, young man." said the
linen-coated gentleman, who. upon
close inspection, proved (o he an elder
ly. clean-cut New York business man
accustomed to commanding.
“Well—what—do—you—want?’’ Sam
was very peevish.
"This is the Jones house, isn't il ?’’
“Yes."
“That’s Mr. Wallace playing the
piano, isn’t it?”
"Yes lie's- shovin' — off. He —
makes—me—tired.”
"Will you kindly tell him there’s a
gentleman here who'll like to see him."
"Tell- him yourself, 1 ain’t coin
—in—there. They- made—a—fool—o’
—me—once tonight—already!"
His voice rose and his mother
heard him through the open window.
Sammy, come here!”
He went reluctantly.
“Haven’t you got any better man
ers than to go without saving good
right, even if you are too ili teuipeieti
o remain all the evening?”
"My—feelin’s—are—hurt.”
“.Inst lor this you won’t get any

“Well — if — it — ain’t — any —

"Sammy! ”
The judge had heard and now joined
his wife at the window. “What's the
mafier, mom?”
“Oh, you've spoiled that boy! WUut
he needs is a good spanking.”
Tbe judge was not. impressed. Sam
my often got on his mother’s nerves.
Me rarely did on his. He smiled
: Smiling, he saw the waiting gentle
man in motor car and goggles.
“Who's the stranger?”
“I don’t know.”
But with fhe country woman's rood
ratured curiosity she left her piarn by
the open window and went out to the
porch.
“I bo0, mrdon ” ?9td “T

should like to speak to Mr. Wallace, If
! you don’t mind te’ling him.
“Won’t you come in?”
“Thank you; I’ll wait here.”
“Shall 1 give any name, sir?"
“Just say to him that his father is
here.-’
The judge and his good wife were ta
; ken much aback. So this was the
: great Wallace, the richest and most
! powerful advertising man in New York
city, perhaps in the linked States!
"Oh, certainly, sir," said Mrs. Spot’s
wood and vanished within doors
while the judge advanced genially.
”Ha\e I the honor of addressing Mr.
Orover Wallace?"
"I am Grover Wallace.’’
“I’m mighty pleased to meet you, sir.
My name is Spotswocd—Judge Si>ots
wood.”
"Pleased, I’m sure."
"Your son has told me all about, you.
You have a very line boy, Mr. Wallace
—smart as a steel trap. I’ve tahen a
great liking to him. Mr. Jones • has
; just opened up the old house tonight.
; and we all came over to supper—or
dinner, as he calls it." The judge
smiled tolerantly. “Perhaps you’d bet
ter come inside.”
“No; i’ll wait out here."
"Hello, gov'nor!" Hob cried heartily
—or tried to exclaim heartily; he was
more than a little worried as he sprang
'■ hrough (hr door, across the portli and
j down the steps. "Well, you have
handed rne a surprise!”
His father answered coldly. '“YJou’ve
handed me a surprise, also.”
“Why, what's the matter?” Bob
knew perfectly; but it is always best
to let your adversary state his gxiev
i auce before you try to answer lum. He
; may forget a point or two in his ex
' citement..
"That’s what I've come here to find
; out. I want to lind out what the devil
is the matter with you.”
Broad waj had heard the voions. Mrs.
I Spots wood had conveyed the mi's to
i him, and now he himself hurried down
] ibe steps.
| "Have your father come right: Jr side,
, Bob." he urged, "and make himself at
| home/’
, He went on to the elder Walhvce,
holding out h,s hand, and then, when
i it was not seized eagerly, gripping
I earnestly fot Wallace's.
I “By gracious. I’m awfully g!,vl to
see you! Bob has spoken of y<«i so
| often and told me so much about'.you
j that I feel as if I know you almost
! c<s weil as he does."
The elder Wallace showed no an
i nwering enthusiasm. He only tried to
get his hand away from Broadway's
cordial grasp.
"Did you know he was coming?”
Broadway demanded of the visitor’s
son.
"Oh, a little surprise, eh? Well, just
in time for dinner! Come along inside
and meet the folks. Having a bully
lime, aren't we, Bob?”
“Yes; tine. This is Jackson Jones.
Suv’nor. You've heard me speak of
i him.”
, "Yes; I've heard of him,” his father
; answered dryly.
"Isn't, it strange we never met !>«v
I ere?” said Broadway effusively. "l!ob
I lad I being sih h good friends. But
i ve’re going to ge>Jbetter acquainted,
i ’.ren’t we. Conte inside."
"No, thank you. I'd like to speak to
I my sou atone, if you have no objec
j tiona."
"Oh, why. of course.”
i As Wallace turned away Broadway
: *-:td a chance to whisper in Bob s ear:
I 'Anything wrong?"
it will be ail right Don't wturv.”
"Well " said Broadway cordially, as
| ’ e father and son began to move in
"once toward the gate. “I'll expect
vu in as soon as you're through with
■our little taik. We'll wait dinner for
! 'U.”
"Yeti needn't bo'her, sir.” sn'd Cm
or Wallace firm''.
"Oh it's no bother at all. i'm only too
| glad to get the chance to entertain.
; You know this is my first day in a
! regular home and I'm having t'v t.'-ne
ot my life" lie warned Boh playful
! ly: "Don't vou let him get aw*',
ih l>. I'll fix, up something cute. I
know what he wants."
rite elder Wallace looked ai him for
si anl two seconds with a glance
which indicated that he thought him
far too uninipottanf to receive more
copious attention. Then lie turned
severely to his son.
"Now, sir, perhaps you'd like to ex
plain the meaning of all this damned
nonsense."
"What nonsense?" Bob knew very
well that to which his father made
lii» very earnest reference, hut he was
sparring to gm time to think.
What are you doing here?”
"Didn't 1 phone you yesterday? I
fitn here on business.” The young
m in's voice was full of injured inno
cence.
"Business! Humph! Fine business!
Do you realize the sort of contract
you've sent in from this concern? Who
ever gave you the authority to sign
such an agreement for the Empire com
pany?”
"You told me over the phone that I
could use my own judgment in the
matter and then wired me.”
“Well, I didn't suppose 1 was deal
ing with a crazy man! Do you know
you've guaranteed to cover every east
ern and middle western state at a
price that wouldn't pay for Pennsyl
vania alone? What the devil do you
mean by making a statement to the
Consolidated (Sum people that the Em
pire is behind the Jones company.”
Bob was quite legitimately reaping a
fine whirlwind harvest. He knew that.
He had sown the wind. But he be
lieved that he might make this wind
w hirl mills, drive Bails, do stunts. Still,
explanation was a difficult matter.
"Well, I was bluffing them, lhat's
all.”
And to what purpose, sir? You have
bluffed us out of half a million dollars’
worth of future contracts that were
pending, and you have signed an agree
ment with this Jones, that, were it
given to the public, would make us the
laughing-stock of the advertising
world."
Bob saw that in his father's present
state or temper the best thing to do
was to impress him with the inevita
bility of It all. Once convince him that
what he bad done had been done be
yond recall, ar.d he- would bend the
wondrous resourcefulness which had
made him giant of tne advertising
world to the necessary task of mak
ing that which had been done success
ful. He had counted on this quality of
his father s intellect and disposition.
"Well, it's too late to kick now, guv’
nor; the deal Is made. And I have your
telegram authorizing me to sign the
contract.”
“Why didn't you answer my tele
grams today?'
"Because I knew you'd come here if
I didn't—and that's what 1 wanted you
to do. I wanted to talk to you—right
here, on the ground of a—a smashing
opportunity.’*
"(>o on, I in listening
"Well. it's » long story."
“1 dare say."
Hob looked Hboilt for somp place on
fhe grounds where they might have
quiet for a conversation. There was
none. The factory was locked up. the
hotel was impossible, and the house
was in disorder. He knew that only
the ground floor had been occupied
since Broadway's uncle had departed
on the voyage from which he never
would return.
"Come and take a little stroll with
me.' he Dually suggested. "No, don't
i let's take the car. I don't want the
i tnan to hear ns and I want to get you
into a good humor to hear all about,
it.. Wait a minute." lie went toward
the house to get his hat, and called
Broadway as he went. "Oh. Jackson!
Say Jackson!"
] Broadway appeared at the door,
j "The guvnor snd 1 are going for »
j Jftlle walk. We'ii be baek in a few
minutes.”
"Be sure you are. Were wailing
dinner for him. and the girls are just
crazy to nteel hitn."
The elder Wallace caught the word*.
Instantly he felt that his stisplclnm
had been justified. O'irls! Anri his
son and the young millionaire there
with them in the millionaire's own
house! "The girls!" he exclaimed
with hearty disapproval.
Wallace laughed at him. “Ob. not
what you mean—not what you menn.
guvnor! Regular girls. Nice people.
You understand.”
'‘Say, Bob, do me a favor, will you?
Show your father the plant while you
are gone,” Broadway called after him.
“I’m going to.” Then, as Broadway
gazed after them, half worried and ha.f
smiling, he heard Bob explaining
Jones Vi lie to his skeptical and dis
pleased parent.
"You see." he heard. "this is the resi
dential part of the town. Over there is
the business section—"
His voice trailed off into silence
(hey vanished through the gates
Broadway smiled. Somehow he was
beginning to reel faith in lire. Knr the
first time he was busy with real
things The joy of definite efTort in
nan's work had seized him. J|»> was
.urprisod to find himself absorbed in
wonder if. perhaps, he might not have
a happier life in Jonesville than lie had
had in New York oily. But lie oou'd
not lake existence very solemnly! He
