SYNOPSIS.

Jackson Jones, nicknamed Broadway
because Of his continual glorification Of
New Yorks great thoroughfare, is anx-
lous to get away from his home town of
Jonesvtlle. Abner Jones. his uncle, is
very angry because Broadway refuses to
settle down and take q place in the gum
factory in which he succeeded to his
forms Broadway that $3.50, 900 left him by
his father is at his disposal. Broadway
makes record time in heading for his
1aVorite street in New York. With his
New York friend, Robert Wallace, Broad
way creates a sensation by his extrava-
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
with the advice to chew 1t and forget his
troubles. He quietly seeks work without
success. Broadway gives what Is in
tended to be a farewell supper to his New
York friends. and before 1t is over be-
comes engaged to Mrs. Gerard, and an
cient widow, wealthy and very giddy.
Wallace expostulates with the aged flirt
ter the situation. He learns that Broad
way Is broke and offers him a position
with his fathers advertising firm, but it
is declined Wallace takes charge of
Broadway's affairs. Broadway receives
a telegram announcing the death of his
Uncle Abner in Europe. Broadway is his
sole heir. Peter Pembroke of the Com
solidated Chewing Gum company offers
broadway 81 100000 for his gum plant and
Broadway agrees to sell. Wallace takes
the affair in hand and insists that Broad
way hold on for bigger price and rushes
him to Jonesville to consult Judge Spots

she came in, she evidently was re

tumble in it. Presently she found
what she was seeking, and produced a
small tin box, round and highly deco

BEATEN AT HIS OWN GAME
5ushman's Clever Strategy Saved Him
From Becoming a Meal for ProwI-
Ing Lion.

The little Bushman of South Africa
is not only small in size, but to the
Europeon he appears feeble in mind.
Yet there is the story of an encounter
between Bushman and lion which,
according to correspondent Of Har-
per's Weekly, shows man cool in
danger and fertile in resource.
The Bushman, who was a long way
from home, met lion. The animal,
sure that he had his victim complete
ly in his power, began to sport with
him with feline playfulness that the
little Bushman failed to appreciate.
The lion would appear at a point in
the road, and leap back again into the
jungle, 70 reappear a little farther on.
The Bushman did not lose his pres
ence Of mind, and presently hit upon
8 way to outwit his foe. Aware that
lthe beast was ahead of him, the Bush
man lodged into the jungle to the
right, and quietly awaited the next

CHAPTER TX.

On the way to the hotel, after they
had left the Judges house, Broadway
tried to tell Bob Wallace what, in
deed, was the matter with him, but
could not, for he had not the least
idea.
Do you really mean to keep the
plant?" asked Wallace skepticalIy.
Yes, and pass it to my children" >"
said the dazed young gentleman.

And they'll pass it to their chill
dren," said the coming magnate of the
chewing-gum trade.

Bob, it's a cinch. But let me tell
you" And he tried to, with but slight
success.
Wallace was shrewd young man.
rs it your conscience or the girl that
has driven you fnsane?" he asked.
I'm thinking about Jonesville. Ny
grandfather built this town"
Well, he made a blamed bad Job
Of it. Why didn't he build a place a
man could get decent drink in while
he was about it?''
And my father kept it going"
We'll, he didn't keep it going very
fast"
"And now I've got to keep my faith
with it. 1t is a sacred duty. / must
not abandon it."
Say" said Wallace, in disgust.
Where did you get that stuff? Have
you gone out and tried to get decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. 1t ought to be put out
of its misery"
"The trust would close the plant and
ruin all these people,"
You'd think they were first cousins,
to hear you talk about them"
Bob" Broadway chided in a soft
and earnest voice, they are far more
than that; far, far more than that.
They are charges placed by Providence
In the care Of the Jones family. And, |
Bob, I'm the last Of the Joneses."

I mean every word of it. There are

the man had suddenly disappeared
from the path, he was perplexed. He
roared. Then he espied the Bushman
peering at him over the grass
The Bushman at once changed his
position, while the lion stood irreso-
lutte in the path. following with his
eye the moving black man. The little
man rustled the reeds, vanished, and
appeared at another point.
The great brute was first confused,
and then alarmed. It began to dawn
on him that he was the hunted party.
The Bushman did not let the lion col
lect his startled wits. He began to
steal gradually toward the foe, who
now, in complete state of doubt and
fear, turned tail, and ran ignominious-
ly from the field.
