Bisbee daily review., 1913-11-30

monds out Of my mind. But I'm sure. just the same, that 1 saw a buach of diamonds or something beside that door. You've asked me to tell you anything 1 might find about the Han ska case. And I'm telling. that's ali.
 Betsy. Barbara considered.
 Tt may not mean anything" sine said. "and 1t may mean a good deal. |" She considered again. Even if the diamonds were there, maybe it had nothing to do with our case. If any, body had been robbed that night, if there had been any signs of a burglar, this evidence would be very important But the police say that the house wasn't entered. Then again, what be- came Of the diamonds? It seems no one else noticed them"
 Well" remarked Tommy North cynically. there were a great many policemen in the house"
 Betsy-Barbara walked on, still think ing. Maybe. I'm afraid. though, that it might be only an alteration" she said finally.
 Perhaps" echoed Tommy North And now, having finished his introduc- ton, he approached the subject near est his heart
 "Of course, that's all," he said, "ex- cept that owe you an apology for for my condition last night"
 Tt is to yourself" said Betsy-Bar- bara, that you owe the apology. Mir. North, why did you do it-again?"
 Now it was in Tommy Norths im- pulses to tell exactly why he did it. to come but with the truth, aceompa- nied by his opinion Of philandering Spaniards. But that would have amounted to a declaration; and to de- clare his feelings for Betsy Barbara was leagues beyond his present cour- age.
 "oh," he said, carelessly, desperate ly, T got jolt. That's all. And l took it out in booze"
 You told me she other night it was because you hadn't anything better to do. Mir. North" she added, suddenly lifting her blue eyes to his, I'm going to ask a very personal question. I'm not asking it for curiosity. I've a req son, which I'll state later-have ycu saved any money?"
 Brace yourself for the shock" re- piled Tommy, but really have. in- herited three hundred dollars a while ago. And my mother made me prom ise one thing-that I'd save a little every week. have five hundred dol lars in the bank"
 Betsy-Barbara nodded her wise ard golden head.
 That will do beautifully for a start, {" she said.
 "A start at what?" inquired Tommy
 "At the Thomas ". North Adyertis- ing agency"
 At"
 "The Thomas W. North Advertising agency. It's founded now, I0l5 a. m. October sixteenth. at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street, New York"
 This is so suddenp!' exclaimed Tommy. But his heart leaped and danced.
 Nov, see, Mir. North" resumed Bet. sy-Rarbara, I've diagnosed your case. ! The trouble with you is that you've drifted. You need responsibility. When you're boss, you won't be loafing on the job. You'd discharge an empIoye who did that-aRG you cant discharge yourself Some day you'll wish you had @ business of your own. Then you'll look back ana be sorry you dldnJ start it when you were young. You can get business, cant you?"
 T ought to" said Tommy.
 And you can-fx up-the business ! when you get it?"
 T suppose l can. I never lost a place for incompetence"
 Then there's really nothing more ] to be said" responded Betsy-Barbara. Just get an office, and hang out your shingle, and go to work. You may fail, of course. But you'll be doing il ! for yourself, and that. Thomas w. l North, is what you need" ! Tommy North had been looking al | her as one who sees visions and hears | voices. Why, that's the way I used | to think. That's the way I used to talk" he said. T didn't realize until I heard it from you, how I'd got over 1 it."
 The first thing to do when you're ' starting in business is to find an of | flee" said Betsy-Barbara practically. There are lots of good cheap little l places in lower Fifth avenue" said Tommy North.
 Let's look at them right now!" ex ! claimed Betsy Barbara. And the new | ly-formed Thomas W. North Adyertis ing agency wheeled and started south ! ward.
 That afternoon, Betsy-Barbara and Rosalie Le Grange were sewing togeth CT in the sun. parlor. As they pulled hastings, Betsy-Barbara slipped in 2 remark which she tried srtfully to con ceal in general chatter. ''Mr North tells me-" said Betsy Barbara, that he is going to start 1T business for himself"
 That so?" exclaimed Rosalie; 'wel he's a nice, smart young man an i will be the very best thing for him She pulled hastings for ten seconds before she resumed:
 Tt will keep him straight. He won have to be helped up to his room fol some time, I hope"
