The dreams were not true night

slant of each period of peril a white
angel foated to him, rescuing him
from that which threatened him. And
this white angel, graceful, large-eyed,
smiling and beneticent, was always
Josie Richards. As soon as she had
rescued him each time, he spoke his
speech to her. and she wept on his
shoulder.
The result of such night of agony
was, naturally, that they slept later
in the morning than was the Jonesville
custom. When half past eight arrived
and they had not appeared, the wife
of the proprietor sent him upstairs to
paying for their rooms. or if, per
chance, they had not come there sui

She crept up behind her liege lord

der as he opened each unlocked door
peacefully asleep, she was both
shocked at such unheard-of Incidence,
and cheated at the lack of tragedy, so
she snorted, "Scandalous!" as she
crashed down each step.
She was very solid woman, widely
built. Wallace had noticed that the
night before when he had peeped in
through the door. Had she been aware
of that terrific episode, she would have
screamed for the village constable and
had him locked up in the calaboose.
Broadway had his high triumphant
moment when it became apparent that
Wallace would of necessity go to the
village barber shop. Having come
away in flight from Mrs. Gerard with
out bags or luggage of whatever kind,
he had no razor with him.

his father is at his disposal. Broadway
makes record time il heading Tor ms

New York friend, Robert Wallace, Broad
way creates 4 sensation by his CXtraVa-
ganCe on the White Way. Four years
pass and Broadway suddenly discovers
that he is not only broke. but heavily in
debt. He applies to his uncle for a loan
and receives a package Of chewing gum
with the advice to chew II and forget his
troubles. He quietly seeks work without
success. Broadway gives what Is in

a telegram announcing the death or ms

CHAPTER IX.-Continued.

Wallace made an effort to sit up
and discuss things further with Broad
way, who seemed to be entirely awake
though dreamy in a strange, unwonted
way. but there were two arguments
against this, the first that gnats and
moths swarmed merrily in as soon as
the oil lamp was lighted. bringing with
them more than one mosquito, the sec
ond being that he was worn out after
a long day full of various excitements.
I'm going to bed" he finally de-
cided.
Best place for you. Bob, this time
of night Folks who sit up"
ooh, shut up! Good night"
Good night See you in the morn
ing"
Now, why" asked Wallace, after he
had left his friend did that boy seem
so glad to have me go to bed? He act
ed just as if he wanted to kneel down
and pray. but couldn't while a vulgar
herd like me was looking on. Now,
what the devil!"
He got into bed.
Broadway did not go to bed. Instead
he found a pen and ink and some of
the soft, spongy hotel stationery in a
drawer of the bare washstand. He be-
gan work with them slowly, painfully.
The pen soon failing, he dug from a
corner of a pocket in his vest the pen
Gil of which he had been so proud
when Pembroke had called on him,
and continued. After an hours hard
labor for his brain, the pencil, the soft
paper and the tongue which he contin-
ually thrust into his cheek, he had
completed what he thought a master
piece. He was not sure whether he
would speak it, the next day, to josie
by herself, or to the assembled multi
tude of the mills employees, but he was
certain it was great.
Having written it he spent another
hour in carefully committing it to
memory Tor so he fondly thought and
then got into bed.
An hour later he tried to sleep the
night out sitting up, for the bed was
