The judge smiled ~satisfedly. "Ev-

"They ought to be-" said Jackson.
|. Have another cigar" the judge sug-
gested f~ervently.
This brought Broadway to his
senses. Those cigars! mo, I thank
you. I've got some gum here. But
1 wouldn't mind having another glass

The judge was pleased. "Why, GER

Broadway spoke up hurriedly. mo;
don't do that. Ask Mrs. Spotswood to
make it for me, won't you?"
Sure said the genial Judge. "And
I'll tell her that you asked me to. It'll
tickle her to DEATH"
At this point Wallace returned. He
went to Broadway with his business
air exceedingly in evidence.
Say" he said earnestly, "I've got a
real knockout surprise for you, young
fellow! Pembroke was waiting at the
Office of the hotel. That was his man
he sent here. He knew we were leay-
ing New York before we started. He
was telephoned to from the Grand Cen
trail station. That's how skiIfully they
work in these mad days of ~frenzied
finance. q

a Bible upon which to swear that he
eve again would set foot in Jonea-
vile. But he did remember Josie'm
eyes, and SO began to hammer on the
door.
After a quarter of an hour of steady
hammering, some shouting and a little
whistling, he was rewarded by a sleepy
and Mstempered voice from a SLOWLY
opened window.
@Heavensi Was his window closedY
And yet that snore got out to us!"

Well, what re want?" the angry
voice inquired.

Sure. It's always night before va

Well, the Grand hotel, it don't think

claimed, as he came down in bright
red dannels (and not much Of that) to-
let them in.
All night Iong!"
Amt it a quarter after 'leVen?"
After telephoning Rankin (much to-
the clerks disgust) to hurry to Con-
necticut by the first train in the morn
ing, with WelIpacked bags, the two
friends crept upstairs, abashed.
The clerk scorned such a menfal
service as attending them, and, in the
excitement left from the rebuke he had
received, Wallace stumbled into the
wrong room. All doors were partly
open, for the night was warm, and no
one feared the midnight interloper,
there in innocent and simple Jones'
vile.
Fortunately the moonlight fell upon
the bed, and warned him, otherwise
there might have been a scandal in

ried glimpse) would have been a sylph
of close upon two hundred and fifty
pounds.
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 we're 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 mi mosquito, the Sec
ond being that he was worn out after
a long day full of various excitements.
"Tm going to bed" he finally de-
cided.

Good night. See you in the morn

"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 deviI!n
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

 The stocking was the final straw. Next morning Smith hitched up old Bcss. aud he and his wife ploddcd to town again through the siush to get a bona Gde supply Of Christmas gifts.
 What they bought then had tue guar antce of the manufacturer the dealer and their own eyes, for by this time the Smiths were strictly from MissourL They had had their lesson.

 So he and his wife had a nice time filling out the yellow order slip accord, Ing to their needs and revenue.
 Then they sent it on it's way to the firm which promised them thrilling bar gains in all lines of merchandise from pins to palaces.
 The Smiths had made one trip to town. The day had been characterized by haste, burger and worry. They hadn't had time to buy what they wanted.
 So the catalogue seemed to solve the problem for them It seemed as If It were going to save themslOts of time, energy, money and brain flag.
 Shipment Arrives.
 It was beautiful pre-Christmns dream made up in four measures or comfort, confidence, curiosity and hope, The awakening came afterward' Ike wise the disinuSiOnment.
 Their shipment arrived two days be- fore Christmas. This was very reas- surfing But 1t necessitated a special drive or nine miles 10 the nearest eX- press office.
 The c. o. D. express charges were nnexDectedIy high. The first intma- lion of a mistake came with the real fzatfon that the express charges eX- ceeded the difference in price between home store and catalogue house aEd- cles.
 Traffic had been conEested and the passage rough. Damage was visible. Smith hoped 1t wasn't serious, but he took his stur home with unpleasant forcbodings. and that night when the family was asleep he and his wife opened the package in the kitchen.
 Caused Smith to Swear.
 There was a lot of excelsior to un- mack. but when the work was done and the contents stood revealed there was a verbal fireworks display on the part of Smith. who forgot for the moment that he was a deacon in the church, and Mrs. Smiths tears were bitter.
 The nurIor lamp was a scream. It's embellishments were livid enough to light a coDorrd Baptist church without the aid of acptvlene.
