him to Jonesviile to consult Jr V Som.-p
wood, who was Uncle Abner's attorney.
“Say, what are you trying to do?”
said Broadway, not without resent
ment. “Run my affairs for me?”
“Yes.” said Wallace readily, and
then called loudly for the butler. When
he came he told him to pack, without
delay, a grip for Mr. .Tones, who, he
gravely announced, was going travel
ing.
“To—er—Japan?" inquired the hope
j ful Rar.^.n.
“Same thing. Connecticut.”
“Look here.” said Broadway wrath
fully, “1 don't intend—”
The bel. rang.
“Go see who that Is,” said Wallace
in a most peremptory tone.
“Say. I’m not working lor you, am
I?” asked Broadway peevishly.
“Go on: do as you are told.”
“Well, 1 11 be damned,” said Broad
way, but started toward the door.
Wallace, though, was thinking
“Wait! Hold on. It may be M s. Ge
! rard. Didn't she say she would be
1 back in half an hour?”
Broadway paused, dismayed. “That's
“We've Got tc Wake a Train,”
so!” He hurried to the window, anrl
' looked out: he turned back with a wo -
i rieri face. "Surest tiling you know. It'.,
her car, all right.”
“Got your hat,” said Wallace. “Is
I there another way out of this house?”
“The servants' elevator at the back.”
"Rankin! Oh, Rankin!”
Rankin, breathless, hurried in. ‘Til
have the grip packed in live minutes.
! sir.”
“Never mind the grip. We can’t
wait for it. We've got to make a train.
See who’s at the door. We’re going
out the other way.” He seized Broad
way’s wrist. "Come on!”
Jackson, departing in a somewhat
sideways fashion, owing tc the steady
pull of Wallace's strong arm, called
back to Rankin: “Oh. there'll lie a
party of gentlemen here at two o’clock
to see me, and—”
“What shall 1 tell them, sir?”
Wallace answered: ' i'ell them to
So to hell," said he.
CKAPTtR VII.
JonesviPe was in mourning. Broad
way’s departed uncle lia-i inspired not
much affection; he had not been one
to care to; but for many years, to the
workers in the factory, he had been a
sort of business deity—the semi-provi
dential hea l of the great enterprise
through which they gained their liveli
hood.
I Tlie folk of .Tonesville had ueithor
loved him nor revered him; he had
been a sort of elemental necessity to
tbti» I ■ e oT m'it i. 7„- \.u‘. *o
speak, lean d with a feeling of set ur- ■
ity upon lie stubbornness, knowing be
would nev< r seli out to (lie gum trust; I
i* he did not sell out to the gum trust
’he factory w;>ul-.l (operate; if the fac
tory kept rim ting ,Jo esville would
continue to eat. drink, and, in its
crude, untlevo!;; ,1 way, be merry. Now
that he was dea l a feeling of uncer
tainty spread a ruiid panic through the
little town.
The judge tvas waiting for the two
| men iu the hotel corridor. Jlis worry
over that the new owner of (he lac
lory might deri.k* to do about the per
fectly well known trust plans was
quite as keen as anyone’s, but his dig
nity forbade that he should make dr-:
play of it.
It was something of a relief to him
vh u Broadwav hurried to him from
the hotel efrie,- and held out his hand,
although the boy’s appearance was a
shock to him. lie remainb< red him as
Higgins’ mother had described hint
and as the dapper, boyish youth who
had aroused the wonder of the town
with patent-leather shoes and now
dance steps. This pale, extremely
urban man, young still, naturally, with
a face which old untoward’ rales of
night expert- res such as were not
written upon say fa s in .Toocsville, no
matter what its age, nonplussed and
confused him. He had expected nor
mal oliung.es: he saw metamorphosis.
“Judge,” said Wallace, who, although
n stranger, wins first to grasp his hand ;
"I'm glad to see you.” There was a
harassed look upon his face as if he '
might have had a difficult time with
Broadway on the train.
The judge took Broadway’s hand, j
"And this is little Jackson! Broad- \
wav. wo used to call you. Well, I'nt !
j glad to see you!”
“Thanks, judge.” Broadway really '
was glad, and shook hands heartily, al
; though the sybarite in him already
was in strong revolt against, the old
hotel.
“I'll go in and register, Broadway,”
said Wallace. “And I'll put you down
as Mr. Jackson. No use in—”
“Yes.” said the judge approvingly,
‘“he town is all upset. There might
hr - er—”
“I understand.”
"If it should get around that the old
mill would be sold to the trust.”
The desk was near the door which
led into the fiy-specked corridor and
'he judge was listening as Wallace
nade terras with the clerk.
■'What'll you take now, Mr. Wal
lace?” said the clerk, after careful j
■ tudv of the signature upon the regis
ter. "Or are you Mr. Jackson?”
"No; Wallace. I’m Mr. Jackson’s
- secretary. And we’d like two rooms
with—”
“Two!” said the clerk, astonished
Vi at was such extravagance as never
had before occurred in that hotel.
"Yes; two connecting rooms, with a
hath between, if possible.”
The clerk gazed, oj en-moutbed.
'Well, now,” he explained, "I don’t
t;ess I can do that. We got a bath
room. Years ago a barber leased the
hop and had it put in next to it.
Thought he’d rent it out to strangers.
• i h< lidn’t It’s still there but lord,
he's dead, and I guess th’ lead pipe has
been r d som’ers else. Know it has.
iu fact.”
“Well—”
"head pipe, ye know, is val’able.”
“Is it? Well do the best you euu for
* Telephones in the rooms, arc
there?”
"In the rooms? No. They’s one
a pros l the street at th’ liv’ry stable "
“Weil, we'll hare to make that do,
then, ^an we get seme dinner? ’
“Dinner’s overt two o’clock. Sup
er’s over now. Might fix up some
thin’, ! suppose.”
“All right, do the host you can for
is and send it to the rooms.”
"V. hat? Send it to the rooms! Wan:
I should corns along to f<Vd ye?” Tim
' ■ u ;c v. as definitely angry. These c; v
folks!
The -:wae stepped in. “I want yor
ar l Y.r.—er—er—Mr. Jackson should'
come to my house for your supper.” he
suggested.
"Wv’.l better not, tonight, judge. To
morrow. possibly.”
Broadway cast at Wallace a pathetic
• ’ nice. Could it be possible that h *
meant to stay in Jonesville till tomor
row night? Wallace sent him a look
of warning.
“Well, if we can'* have supper in
our rooms. I suppose we’ll take it j
v. here we can,” he granted, determined i
that if Broadway real!.' came back to ;
Jonesville, -as he intruded to compel.
him to, some changes should be mad -
ia the hotel.
"Minnie!" shouted the clerk, in a
reverb* rating voice, calculated to ex
press iU:-ii, though miles might inter
vene. “Two sui - i er-r-s!”
“All ri.’jht.” he said to Wallace.
“Want to v !. h? Wash basins-—”
“We’ll u.l that, anyway, up in cur
rooms.”
“W’-» wth?" - -claim- ’ the cV-k
- rlumphanUy. “They ain't no water
there.”
"T'i't couldn't—"
“Ain't ;>o water,” said the clerk In
•i *r- rentBy grandly, “ner r.o soap, ner
«v> Is. n.i pitrhere. ner no bonis
•i noih-.n’.*' He turned avay.
1 ‘-Pp.; 't; 1’ ^ 1(5V? '
“Aii>' no hey. We’re honest folkr
i- Junes ville. I'm goin' out.”
“i iu where are the rooms?”
' Head th’ stairs. One and two They
ain't no others; ” With no lurcher
words be went his way.
"My God, Hob." said Broadway, ap
proaching him appealingly, ‘‘you're not
going to rank* me live here, are you?”
"Yes: but I'rn going to build a new
hotel here,” Wallace answered.
The judge hovered close to Broad
way. “I wish you'd come up to the
house to sui, m i .''
“Mot tonight, judge, thanks."
“MTo," he granted sympathetically, "1
suppose you want a rest. Tired after
font hours on the train, of course. Gad.
it's yuhe a journe; ! liow’ve you been,
Broadwiy ?” The judge pronounced it
“bean,” as if it came in pods.
“Oh. so, so. judge.”
“Busy, I suppose, down to New
York—”
“Yes; busy every minute—night and
day.”
“Ift-huh, I s’pose so. What did von
“It Doesn’t Seem Possible It's You."
say the business was you've been fol
lowin’ ?”
Wallace answered before Broadway
had a chance. “Liquor business, prin
cipally," he said tersely.
“Broadway, s eyes flashed toward
him a lightning glance of sheer male
volence, which his caught without a
sian of anything but high amusement.
“Yes—er—judge,” said Broadway, “l
have invested quite a lot of money in
the liquor business.”
''Well,” said the cautious judge, anx
ious not to hurt his feedings, and, in
his heart, not shocked, “somebody’s
got to sell it. And I suppose it was
the wholesale business you were in.
That's always thought respectable."
"You bet il was the wholesale busi
ness," Wallace broke in cheerily.
Broadway began to feel intense dis
taste for the alertness of successful j
business men. They took a fellow up |
and make a monkey of him before he
had a chance to think. This wTlble trip
to Jonesville—
“Judgp,” said the energetic advertis
ing agent, “maybe you would like a
little nip..”
“My boy," the .nidge replied in
mournful tones, ‘you can’t get it here
at this hotel. 11 ain't been to be had
here since the Episcopalian that once
own‘d it was bought out by a Meth
odist.”
“Eve—” Broadway began.
"I've got some in my pocket.’’ paid j
Wallace, inti erupting.
“Now, Bob—-” Broadway began to !
protest, but the judge himself did not j
permit him to complete bis sentence. !
“J could show you to your room," he
said, "being as the clerk’s gone out." i
"By ail means. We—r”
"Er no." the judge said sadly. '
"’T wouldn't rally do. Mj wife "
Jackson was looking round'him for
his hag. Kaukin always— Suddenly he i
remembered that be did nor have his ;
bag. They ha*.’ fled without. It. as they
doiL-ed Mrs. Gerard. He gnashed his
teeth at Wallace.
But, even though the liquor question '
1 as in no way settled at the session,
be judge staved a little while to gos
ip, principally making inquiries about
he story which had been prominently
"luted in tin- lot a I papers t hat Broad
ay wav. to marry a rich widow.
Wcll’ce took command here, too,
ith lightning-like celerity. “Judge,”
aid he with gravity "if every widow
i New York who has confided to the
t wi papers that site would like to
viir Mr. Jones had married him he'd
he a modern Mormon."
“Yes. I suppose so—with the pros
pects of this business here in Jones
ville and a big wholesale liquor %usi- ,
ness of his ov.n there in the city. 1
bet they have been after him. But T
must go. You’ll be up after supper?” ,
“Very soon, if supper's wluit I think
it will be,” Broadway answered.
Mrs. Spot « ood was consumed with
curiosity when her husband arrived at
home.
"Why didn’t you bring him here to j
supper?” she inquired.
"Well, mother, you know they’ve
been on a railroad train four hours. 1
gn’e.-is they’re pretty tired. They'll get
rt yper at the hotel." He laughed.
\\ illyce, he's with Broadway,
asked to have it served up in thoir
rtonv ana Gilroy, the hotel clerk,
a Tea him if the-, wanted he should
food it to them." Bis laughter became
’violent. You know Gilroy’s very
witty.”
*TTpw doc?! P~mdwp“
‘ Ten years older? My, how that boy
has changed!”
”ly goodness, what a curiosity he'll
be to the folks here! Did yon tell him
we had read In the New York Herald
about his going to.gel married?"
"Yes; 1 asked him about that.”
"What did he p.ay?"
"Veil, he started to par «-orpr,thv-^,
but bis frieud broke in and told run
not te believe everything I read in the
New York papers. Broadwav didn't
have much to say. His frier.d did most
of the talking.”
“Who is he?”
‘ Name’s Wallace. He r.eeros to b*
a right nice chap. Wide awake, all
rtyht. 1 tried to pump him about what
Broadway means to do with the gum
plant, but be didn't seem inclined to
talk about it, so 1 dropped it. I'm wor*
riod about the matter, mom.”
She sighed, "i guess everyone in
town is. Would the trust close the
plant if they should buy it?"
"Why. of course. They don’t care
for those old shacks and their om
ebinery. What they're after is tho
formula and trade-mark. They do their
manufacturing out in Ohio. Where's
Clara?”
"I'll have Sammy find her. He'll lie,
through supper in a quarter of an
hour.”
But Sammy entered at. the, moment.
"I want yon to go find Clara and tell
her to come home. 1 think she’s at
Josie Richards'."
Clara bounded in immediately. Sam
bad found her in tho hammock. Sbo
had developed wonderfully since the.
''ays when Broadway had rnuglu her
new dance steps in the old power
house.
"£am said you wanted something,
pa ”
"Yes, 1 want you to be here this eve
ning. And now won’t you run over to
•osie Richards’ house and tell her 1
want to see h»r tonight about some
thing very important .”’
“You want to see her here?”
"Yes. Tell her it's something about
the plant. Did your mother tell you
who's in town?"
"No. Who?"
“The new owner. The young man
himself. Remember him? He’s been
away five years.”
“Remember him! When did he get
here?"
“On the five-fifty. Don’t tell it to
anyone but Josie, and toil her to keen
it quiet. He doesn't want anybody to
know it."
Clara nodded, but her face was
flushed. “I understand, pa. Shall f
tell her that he’ll he here at the
bouse?”
“Yes; and te’! her he’ll likely want
io know all about how things stand,"
"111 hurry." She star’etl rapidly
away, but a footstep on ihe creaking
porch outside arrested her. She
paused in an intense evcit.cnu.nt.
"I guess that's him now," her la
ther exclaimed, listening intently.
“I'll let him in, pa."
1 Half elated and half frightened, she
| hurried to the little entrance hall and
! opened the from door. A whiff of
cigarette smoke, very different from
any which the Jonescillo Itoys entitled,
caressed her nostrils as the door
swung open, and in the soft gleam of
the evening she saw two waiting fig
ures.
"Is Judge Spotswood at home?”
asked one of them.
“Yes, sir; he's waiting for you. Don’t
you recognize me, Mr. Jones?”
Broadway stepped with her into ;h«
lighted entry. “Why,” he said, as
tonished, as he looked at her develop*
ing beauty, "you’re not Clara. *r»
you ?’’
Slie could feel the admiration In M«
tone, rather than see it. on hi* fj»o^
for she could not look up. "Of coursa
I am.”
“Well, what do you think of that.!
You're—very different—why, you wera
a little girl lust lime I saw von!" He
pulled Wallace forward by the arm,
"This is my friend. Mr. Wallace. Boh.
this is tho judge's daughter. Mlsa
•Spotswood."
Now, she could see her old frle; /I’m
friend more clearly. Instantly she da»
elded that he was the handsomest of
living men. She had heen genuinely
glad to see Broadway. Now. immedi
ately. Hhe forgot that he exipt»d.
"I'm going to gei Josie." she ex
claimed and fled into the nigbt.
By hc*k, Broadway,” Wallace com
mented. “There’s a pretty country ghl»
I didn't know they qid it in such detail
in the rural districts.”
The judge came to them with a
hearty handclasp. “Welcome to th;s
bouse again, my boy,” said he. "Ire
been a long time since you hare seen
this room. Not changed much, eb ' Wo
don’t change much iu Jonasvllle." He
waved his hand toward Mrs. Siiois
wood, who was sitting In a flutter of
expectancy, but would not rise because
it seemed more elegant to remain seat
ed. “Remember that lady?”
Broadway hurried toward her. *'T
should say I do! Hello, Mrs. Sftots
wood: 1 rn awfully glad to see vou
