killed with one stone-he would be re-
venged and make money.
His plans would have been exactly as
he had contemplated had not Bore. the
photographer. interfered. When his
manager Informed him of the sale of
those pictures he was stupefed. He i'm
mediately grasped the weight of the sit
uation. This deal would be the downfall
of his years of toll The Four Hundred
would desert his establishment. Better
a thousand times to have lost the paltry
sum those pictures were worth than lost
the patronage of the Four Hundred. He
dispatched "a message next day to Julia
Jay informing her of the disposal of her
pictures and inclosing the address of
Albert Edouin.
Imagine her CONSERVATION when she
heard of the fate of her pictures. At first
she threatened dire vengeance on Bore
and his entire establishment She scolded
and fumed and cried and wrung her
hands in agony. What should she do?
And to think that it was Albert Edouin,
above all others, who had purchased
them. Julia Jay, when in her normal
state of mind, was what one would call
sensible and in spite of the horror of 1t
all, soon became calm and dispatched a
messenger for Jack Leland. She de-
cided to make a complete statement to
! him.
Jack Leland, the gay, handsome fell
low, that he was, hastened to her call
and when she had told her story, how
she had Tilted Albert Edouin in his favor,
he took her in his arms, and promised to
get those pictures if he had to fight
duel
| He found Albert Edouin and when he
| learned that Julia-his Julia's picture
was within a week to be placarded all
over town to advertise "Edouin's Blood
Purifier he was beside himself with
rage. But he was informed that $4,000
had already been invested, the printed
matter finished and all the contracts
| signed. Jack saw the uselessness of
further dispute. He realized that
Edouin had the legal if not the moral
right to use those pictures.
When Julia Jay heard that her pic
lures would certainly be used for ad-
vertising purposes, she tainted dead
away. Mrs. Jay was summoned and
Jack, much as he dreaded it. told her
the whole story. She carried on even
worse than her daughter. Oh, the shame
of it all! Was all her labor, all her hopes
| to be blasted by this imposter? How she
| regretted that Julia had ever met that
| pleban druggist What would the Four
Hundred say when they saw her
| daughters picture placarded about
| town? All afternoon the three talked
| together like cOnspira tors. Finally Mrs
Jay thought it best to see if they could
| not persuade him to discard the pic
| lures by a liberal offer.
Once again Jack Leland wended his
way to Al Edouin's apartments and once
again he begged mercy for his fiance.
| Albert Edouin at first treated him
haughtily but when he talked money, he
became more passive for that was his
ambition now, to make a start in life.
| After all he was only human and per-
| haps he even still had a warm spot in
his heart for the faithless Julia At any
rate after much pressure he consented to
change his trademark for 50 600.
| Thus was the famous name of the
| Jays saved from disgrace, the founda-
| ton of Albert Edouin's fortune laid, and
| the love of Jack Leland put to a severe
| test. And Julia Jay, the accomplished,
| the pretty, the aristocratic Julia, tri-
umphed once more-for the gossips were
cheated out of a scandal which would
| have given them food for reflection for
at least one week.
