and then. again. he's liable to fall
away to almost nothing"
She laughed. delighted At his humor.
~OA. I ses what you mean! You're

found it. and stood swinging 1t. She
blushed. he laughed. He was really
burlesquing . Irritation. but she did
not know it. nor was the impulse of his
foolery entirely burlesque. He was
very much confused when an amused
cough from behind them told that
Josie had come in.
He whirled. "Oh. good morning. Miss
Richards"
How do you do. Mr.. Wallace!" She
smiled with definite satisfaction. "Mr.
Jones 10 causing quite . sensation In
the works"
80 I understand"
Shall tell him you are here!"
asked Clara.
Il wish you would, II 1t isn't too
much trouble, Miss Spotswood.'
Not at all. I'll be only too pleased"
She smiled at him. Nobody ever calls
ne anything but Clara"
Wallace felt that he was most en-
phatically in clover. "Oh. you Clara!"
He was 4 large young man, with .
large. smooth-shaven face, particularly
broad. 1t was one happy smile.
She was giggling as she hurried to-
ward the factory. "Ill tell him. right
away"
Wallace turned to Josie. Has Mr..
Pembroke called?"
No; Mr.. Jones was saying he ex-
pected him at eleven o'clock"
We'll. it isn't quite eleven. yet"
He told me Of the advice you gave
him. We have 4 good deal to thank
you for. I'm sure of that
Il don't see why" he protested.
Hes only doing what 10 right. Any
man with a conscience would do the
same. OF course my influence may
have had some bearing on his decision.
but. believe me, his mind was made
up when you got through with him last
night
She was very earnest. "Oh, 1t means
% much to % many"
ANY way, l think he'd be . fool to
SELL
You do?"
Certainly. A proposition which
showed the profit this did last year
without any Advertising! Why. it's
wonderful! l know what I'm talking
about. I'm with the bieeest sdver-
Using firm in New York city"
But We couldn't afford to advertise,
except in . small way" she said in ex-
PLANTATION Of what he evidently thought
their lack Of enterprise, and the big
Arms wouldn't take . petty contract"
why didn't you try the Empire
Asency!"
She shook her head. I'VE did. They
refused to handle Us at all. They do
most Of the Consolidateds work. yoa
go. I guess that was the reasoa."
He was quick to deny this. He did
not wish anyone to think that the
great Empire Agency would favor
ono concern to the extent Of shutting
out another in fair eompetitioa.
''Oh, no." he confidently asserted,
we don't make that sort Of agree
ments. No corporation can dictate to
us. The Empires my firm. Ny Guv'-
nor's its president"
"Oh. well, then, perhaps, you know
all about It," She evidently did not
care to be so firmly contradicted.
This dauEted him. You say they
refused to handle your work."
Absolutely"
For a moment he stood lost in
thought. then suddenly reached . res

your 'phone?" he asked.
Certainly"
"Give me long distance" he demand
