year, I'll bet you that"
He was interrupted by the ringing
of the telephone.
'rll answer It," said he.
"You want to do everything, don't
you?" said Broadway peevishly.
It was the long.dlstance call for which
Wallace had some time before left or
ders. He gave a hurried, warning
glance at all Of them as soon as he
bad heard the voice which came to
nim along the wire.
Hello, guv'nor," he replied. Hello!
Hello! Yes; ! called you up.

Thanks. No; l won't be back

He hung up the receiver and turned
back to Jackson. That youth looked
at him In somewhat helpless curiosity

Bob" said Broadway with real fee

At that instant sam came in. Mis-

Thus Broadway's happiest nome
came to a sudden, tragic end. In Il

Broadway, with a smile, left him,
and went to join his guests within.
So did Sammy presently, in answer
to the pangs Of hunger, and they all
had a most extraordinary dinner.
Sam was incensed after awhile
That piano once more began to rattle;
no one wished to hear his banjo, the
world was out of joint. He would not

The judge looked at his son with
that apologize tolerance with which
he usually regarded him. He was not
ashamed Of him; but he refused to
take him seriously. He would not even
punish him. Keep on pr~acticing,
Sammy. You'll get there some day.
Sammy redoubled his slow and
mournful efforts, knowing in his heart,
undoubtedly, what 1t was he meant to
play, but communicating to no one,
either by the spoken word or any
sound he made upon the strings.

about something which she valued
highly and was willing to run hard to

heartily. What are you doing here?
All, l know! You're looking for Jack

station. He's going to make that elev-

She had scarcely Strengthened from
the stoop which had been impaired by
her hurry as she entered. Now she
much intensified It,, and without a
word dashed out.
But you'll have to run all the way"
cried Wallace after her.
Then he turned hurriedly to Rankin.
Listen! You follow her to the depot
