CHAPTER TX.

On the way to the hotel, after they
had left the judges house, Broadway
tried TO tell Bob Wallace what, in
deed, was the matter with him, but
could not, tor he had not the least
idea.
DO you really mean to keep the
plant?" asked Wallace specifically.
Yes, and pass 1t to my children -
said the dazed young gentleman.
You haven't any children, you con

THE trust would close the plant and

knew that the Jones gum was a dan

had been, unadvertised. 1t had been a
dangerous competitor to the trust,
then 1t was worth having-emphatica
ly worth keeping.
| And some day Broadway must do
something. He could not forever play
the idler on the Great White Way,
even IL his millions were unnumbered.
It was no life for an actual man, and
Bob was sure that hidden somewhere
in his friend were the true elements
OF worthy manhood. Nothing had &C
Cured to bring them out, that was all
He thought they might be coming now.
Reaching the hotel, they found the
place In utter darkness. Not q light,
even turned down for the night, was
visible at any window; not sound of
life came from the building save
rhythmic cadence of some sleeper soft

| never again would set foot In Jones'
vile. But he did remember Josfe's
eyes, and so began to hammer on the
door.
After quarter Of an hour of steady
hammering, some shouting and little
whistling, he was rewarded by a sleepy
and illtempered voice from a slowly
