BROADWAY JONES 3 3 By Bertrand

would not wait for him at the hotel. It
was not Pembroke, as the judge had met
Pembroke.
It's Mrs. Gerards lawyer" Broadway
whispered in an aside 70 Wallace.
THE GIRL ARRIVES.
Wallace was sure that ii was not and
that such Il aupposition was foolish, but
he suggested that he himself go to the
hotel and see who the man was. He
started to the door TO carry out his suE-
gestion, when Clara entered with IA de-
mure young woman clad in d trim tailor
made gown and plain but becoming hat
The girl stood quietly, self possessed,
while the judge gave Wallace directions
for getting to the hotel he had just left.
Something in Clara Spotswoods face told
him that she would like to point out the
way to him, and so he pretended to mis-
understand the directions Clara at once
volunteered, saying that she was going
that way anyway. So Wallace and
Clara set out, the young advertising man
with manner more jaunty than he had
worn in months.
The judge led the young woman, who
had remained near the door, toward Jack
son. Her eyes rested upon Broadway 5
somewhat worn face, and that youth re
ceved the first shock Of his life of this
unusual character. The eyes seemed to
him to be blue then they shifted to gray.
Her yellow hair, escaping from either
side Of her hat, framed the eyes in a
background of harmony. Upon her face
Jackson thought for moment that there
was bitterness, a contempt for the
man she was beholding for the first time.
He could not be sure, and when he looked
L., t.
face except a grave interest Beneath
the calm, piercing of those blue gray
eyes Broadway lowered his own. There
was sound of drumming in his ears
The voice of the judge seemed to come
from great distance. as, forcing him
self into the attention of Broadway, it
broke the strange influence over Jackson.
This is the little lady I've been tell
ing you about" said the judge, Miss
Richards And this gentleman is Mr.
Jones, Josie
Through force of a VIII that sometimes
seemed to be slumbering within him,
Jackson resumed his normal manner, II
not his normal poise
Delighted" he exclaimed, 1--WE been
hearing lot about you, Miss Richards "
Again the girls eyes met his with that
strange penetration. Broadway almost
shuddered at the Icy CLEAN he seemed to
see there.

she said,
And then Il strange thing happened TO
Broadway Jones. He saw her very words,

The girl, if she was conscious of her
power over Broadway, apparently did not
care to exercise it at that moment Her
tone and manner We're merely earnestly

THE CONTRARY HEART,
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
have kept company with nice
young man for about six months,
and until ,ately have thought a lot
Of him. MY mother likes him so
we'll that she talks about him from
morning until night, so now | really
believe l am beginning to hate him
l try not to feel that way but T
can not help 1t when l hear 1t so
often. r. e. c.
Your grief is really amusing, from 81
impersonal viewpoint. You mothes
likes him and Won love him, but YOU
are beginning to love him less through
hearing 50 much OF her praises OF him
1t is to your mother I make my lie
ply: You DO not know the eontray
heart Of a maid, my dear woman, and

that The judge hau explained to the girl
that he had sent for her that she might

owner, and that probably she wouidr' I

The thought of forty thousand dollars
was tonic to the sper1thrift. He heard
in fancy headwaiter at Speary's turn

table in the corner by the window, just
because Broadway bad made a certa n
signal to him.

son let his own eyes rest upon her face

The girl did not look al him

Impersoually She remarked to the two
men:

Still watching the girl with d shade Of
apprehension, Broadway said
well, that wasn't SO bad, was it?"
The eyes, indeed the whole face were
turned toward Broadway. He was sur
prised to lind that the face bore only
gentle expression, though the low, cfeaI
tones Of her voice still carried to him an
undercurrent as she said:
why, no; considering the fact that we
were fighting the trust, 1 think it was
perfectly remarkable
Jackson found himself seized with the
mad idea Of agreeing in all details with
positively everything the owner of those
eyes might have to say. SO half in pro-
test to himself he returned:
You do?" But try as he would he
couldn't keep a tinge of exclamation
from his tone.
The girl chose, however to consider his
words as a question

DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES
Iyos

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young lady OF eighteen
years
/. When and how should girl
ask a man to call upon her?
2. Should she have more friends
at her home when he does call?
3. What Is the proper way Of in-
Producing a girl and man? Should
you mention his name first?
I. G. T.
SO much depends on the length os
acquaintance, the attitude OF the girls
parents, her environment, etc, that no
rule has ever been known to fit all
cases
l. If her parents approve, she may
ask him to call some evening And it
would be proper to give him the invita- :
ton when he has shown by his atten-
tions that he cares for it.
,. That Is optional with the girl He
may enjoy meeting others on his first
call, but If he cares for her he prefers
to see her alone.

inclined TO RULE OUT
BRENNON'S TESTIMONY
Believes Graft Incidents After

for Conspiracy Charge
BLOW. FOR PROSECUTION
Exclusion of Detectives Story
Would Leave Schreiter's
Statements Unsupported

The prosecution OF the II aldermen
and E. r. Schreiter, Jr.. accused OF
conspiracy, struck a snag. Monday
afternoon, when Judge Jeffries ruled
out the testimony of Detective Bren-
non relating to his transactions with
the aldermen after July 1, the date
when Schreiter says, he washed his
hands" OF the transaction and so no
titled the aldermen, the conspiracy
being this dissolved.
After the cross-examination OF
Schreiter, Brennon went on the stand
and began to tell the details OF his
dealings with Gilman, the same story
on which Gilman was bound over to
the recorders court on the charge of
accepting q bribe. The defense OBJ
jected on the ground that Brennon
could not tell what dealings he had
with Gilman after July /, as evil
dence tending TO prove a conspiracy
among the aldermen. Special Prose
cutor Wilkins stated that what Bren-
non said about Gilman would not be
admissible as evidence against ali
the aldermen accused OF conspiracy,
but IL would be admissible as show
Ing Glinnan's part In the conspiracy.
He said he would ask Brennon to tell
fhis transactions with each of the
accused aldermen.
"I'll exclude the testimony" said
Judge Jeffries. In the first place
this relates to an Independent trans
action, something for which Gilman
has already been bound over to the

That is true, but he may not be

DISAPPOINTED IN Love,
TWO GIRLS TRY SUICIDE

The noise of the young woman s
falling body attracted her parents,
