"An right" said wallacs. Aet vssy
graciously. Go sheaA-think! lt's
about time you began to think"
He sank into Q chair. his g3Oo0y
face regarding Broadway with snail
favor, his angry fingers tapping O .
table top.
Broadway was very nervous Reali-
zation was becoming vivid of the fact
that he had not been wholly admirable
in his general course.
Don't you suppose I know IT'S .
shabby thing to do!" he urged. "Bst.
great Scott! look at the M In IN"
Wallace made . gesture Of negatioa.
1t was clear that he refused to grant
that anything could excuse his friead's
course with the widow.
You're not sore At me. Bob. aso

'Of course"

And Broadway did exactly - hs o..
dered. looking after him almost - .
child might after some one had a.
sumed full charge Of tangled. tuvsails
aiIairs.
Suddenly he realized that some out
standing bills would not be among the
mass which Wallace was examining.
He would try to get them in. He
wished to know the worst, now that
he was At 1t. He went over to the
telephone and called up . certain "a
nous restaurant. After he had told
the manager to make out his bill for
the previous evening entertainment
and let him know. the total, he cat
waiting. with the receiver glued tisht
to one ear, and. when Rankin entered.
called him to him.
You'd better look around for a.
other job. Rankin"
The butler almost tainted. Hasn't
my service been satisfactory, sir."
oh. yes; everything has been an
right: but. you see. Rankin. I'm going
to leave town. Ter-expect to do Q
lot Of travelling"
He gazed At Rankin anxiously. He
hoped this would be easy. The worry
on his face and the crsmped positioa
necessary to listening at the telephons
ard watching the butler closely gave
him . pitiful expressioa. He looked
- II IN pain.
When Rankin said. respectfully,
that. II Mr.. Jones was traveling -
should like to travel With him, Jack
son was annoyed.
"Td like to have yoa, Rankin" he
said weakly. but. you see. expect
to locate in-sr-in Japan. and rvs
got to have some one who undsrstaAAs
the language"
That was poser. He coagratulatsd
himself. That would settle RaAkfn
and get I'd q hin With NO hard fssl-
inga He was really rather fooA of
Rankin.
But 70! Il speak JapaAsss WI
well. STR" and the extraordinary but.
lei. with . calm which vouched for his
veracity. Il was in service With two
japanese for over I'VE years, and II
you think OF China, sir. or Russia-"
Fortunately for his masters dim
Guilty maintained composure. two
things happened to distract attention.
He got his message on the telephone,
and the ringing doorbell removed Ran
kin.
