none. The factory was locked up. tAs
hotel was impossible, and the houss
vas in disorder. He knew that oaly
the ground noor had been ooeapisd
since Broadway's uncle had departed
on the voyage from which he never
| would return.

The elder Wallace caught the vocia.
Instantly he felt that his suspicteas
had been Justified. Girls! And his
son and the young millionaire there
with them in the millionaire's own

with hearty disapproval.

smiling. he heard Bob sxplaiaiag

Dental part Of the town. Over there b

His voice trailed Oh into silence a
they vanished through the eates.
Broadway smiled. Somehow he was
beginning to feel faith in life. For the
FIRST time he was busy with real
things. The Joy Of definite effort in
mans work had seised him. He vas
surprised to dnd himself absorbed in
wonder II. perhaps. he might not have
a happier life in Jonesville than he had
had in New York city. But he could
not take existence very solemnly! He
felt too good.
Say, Bob, show him the drug store,
too," he shouted after the departing
pair.
The Judge. who had watched the cpl
sode with interest from the house win
dows. came out to Broadway, some
what worried. Has he gone for

He was mad as q halter about
something. Did you notice it,"
Yes; and | think I know what IL
is"
Something the young fellow did!"
I'm afraid so."
Nothing wrong!"
Il hope not"
The Judge spoke with emphasis. and
he thought himself a really good Judge
OF human nature. "Oh. I'm sure it
can't be. II can estimate character
that young man is incapable of any
thing but good" He looked at Broad
way almost with = fatherly affection.

Broadway gased after them, wonder.
