ooh, don't be afraid, he assured
her. 81 meant exactly what 1 said to
Higgins
She sighed with real relief.
Il don't mind telling you, Miss Rich
ards. that when 1 came here yesterday
my intention was to sell this business
and get it of my hands at any price
or sacrifice"
The mere statement Of this evidently
past and gone intention was a shock
to her. He noted. and not without
emotion mind that: Broadway unpis-
takably was touched-that her face
blanched at the thought of that which
he had definitely decided not to do.
The young man was beginning to
think; he was forming some faint
realization of the fact that his own
troubles were but somewhat unimpor-
tant bubbles in q sea made up of
-everybody's troubles. The thought
was forming in his mind that, while
ne had been severely worried about
ways and means for getting luxuries
these people, here in Jonesville, who
had lived and probably would die with
out ever having heard the names OF
many of the things his sybaritic soul
had learned to crave, had felt them
selves confronted by the possibility OF
loss Of the necessities.
Indefinitely, but for the first time in
his life at all. he saw how grim the
struggle for a bare existence is with
the majority; how, although they
strain and strive to their limit of abiI-
ity, they never feel quite safe in their
possession Of the means for getting it
He acknowledged to himself a feeling
of embarrassment as he considered the
undeniable selflshness of his previous
existence.
But he frightened visibly, as be
went on. He had learned his lesson
and had learned it thoroughly.

morning" he said simply, eli he Of

Even the question was nervous

he shuddered slightly as he asked In
answer. How do look?"

Now his shudder was not slight

Now her soul paid tribute to that
subtle HAT of romance which was in
the air. You. too, Josie"

as the judge here?"
She knew perfectly we'll that he was
not; she had seen him through the
window Of his little one-roomed, peak
rooted office building just across the
street as she had turned into the
graVeled, f1ower-lined path which led
to the works entrance.
81 thought he might be here. We've
been-er- shopping, and were going
by, SO 1 thought I would run in and
have word with him"
Even Mrs. Spotswood did not shop
thus early in the morning, save for
groceries; moreover, she did not wear
her best black silk dress when she
went shopping for her groceries, and
the shopping district occupied the re-
giOn farthest from the works upon
the other side Of her own home-but
these things did not matter.
Then, as she saw Broadway's atten-
ton wavering, and that Clara was en-
deavoring to hold it long enough to
ask for Wallace, she turned beamingly
to him, although behind the beam
there was a genuine anxiety. "Any-
thing new, Broadway"
Clara's courage had augmented by
that time, and she gave him INSULT
cient time to frame an answer, so Mrs
Spotswood went to Josie, and, as
Broadway answered questions about
Wallace, assuring Clara that he'd be
there before long, out of the corner of
his eye he could make certain that
Josie was explaining things to Mrs
Spotswood. He rather thought and
hoped that she was explaining them
with real enthusiasm.
Clara was shyly excited over Wal
lace. and took full advantage OF this
chance to talk of him with his best
friend. The long standing OF her
friendship for Broadway made her feel
at liberty to gossip freely.
ST think Mr.. Wallace is an awfuIIy
nice fellow" she said gravely.

at her although he bitterly resented
her intrusion on his talk with Josie.

threatened.

ooh, he doesn't care what he does

indicated that asking twice for ice
cream and the purchase OF a box OF
chocolates represented to his mind the
extreme insanity Of spendo-mania.
Doesn't he?" she asked. her tone in
dicating that delightful horror which

eligible young men.

of one revealing something at once

CHAPTER XII.


Higgins, cratic. demazogic, cften
viciCaSs tempered, was. when o4ce his
championship had been enlisted, a en-
thusiastIc advocate As he himself hsS
said, his heart was in the right yzace, :"
and that morning, as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
Vile, Jones Pepsin gum and those res
ident in one and employed in manufac-
ture Of the other, Broadway lost none
Of merit through his defamation.
In that heart In the right place Hig-
gins had admired the way the smallish
city man had stood up to his five feet
ten OF Drawn and threatened to throw
him out Of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town if he did not cease threatening a
woman. He was sorry he had lost his
temper while with Josie
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings of the old-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage OF the
wheels of industry and the gathering
of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature Of that
news became known generally, the
much-relieved workmen, the working
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boys throughout the plant, be-
came instantly demonstrative of great
joy.
The first cheer, that which had
mercifully interrupted Clara's inqui-
sition of Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation Of the grinding roar
which was apparent, even in the office
building, when the plant was operat-
ing, showed that here and there
and everywhere machines were being
stopped by those who wished to leave
them so that they might hear the
news.
The Office building group stood spell
bound, listening. None knew what had
occurred. They might have been
alarmed had the uproar been less I'M
mistakably enthusiastic.
What is it?'' Mrs. Spotswood asked
excitedly.
81 don't know was JosIe's answer.
Clara certainly knew nothing Of the
nature Of what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told
Higgins, in a sentence wherein anger
very freely mingled with the news OF
his determination to retain and op-
crate the gum plant, could have been
accepted as good reason for such a
really notable demonstration OF the
Joy of gum makers.

CHAPTER LII

"Mr Harold Sarden.'
Hllda Wierum felt a little choking
sensation of mingled pleasure and
surprise as she read the card that her
maid presented.
For the three weeks that THE Road
to Everywhere" had been running she
had been devotlng herself ardently to
her work in order to improve her
part. The piece was overwhelmingly
successful. But still she was not sat
isf1ed that she had fathomed some of
its lines to their depths of meaning.
She had often wished that she
could talk to the author and know his
thought from his own lips-that she
might be sure.
And now he was here.
Hilda was a little bit frightened.
What would he be like? She felt sure
he was young and she OWNED that he
took things very seriously, in spite of
his light hearted PLAY.
She turned and faced Harold Sar-
den
A thrill of something akin to pain
went through her. Involuntary she
reached for a chair. 1t was not SO
much that he looked as he did as that
she had to admit to herself she cared
how he looked. She controlled herself
and hurried 10 greet him.
The hand that received hers was a
strong mans hand. But the man she
looked up was a eripple-a bunch
baCk-a man of at least 40 years
with nothing but his magnificent
head, mis- splendid. piercing gray eyes
and lofty forehead-to give him grace
in the eyes of woman.

look of sadness passed over his fea-
lures. She was instantly herself.
1T is an honor that I appreciate
very deeply-to have you come to see
me-" she said.
You can understand now, perhaps,
why I go about very little" he an
swered. His voice was deep and full
and fine. She felt the mastery be-
hind his weakness She was even a
little afraid of him.
They talked of casual matters-oi
his play, of the stage in general, OF
her pictures and porcelains.
You wouldn't dare, really. to tell
me, Mr. Sarden" said Hlda sudden
ly, that because-because YOU are
unlike other people physically you
shun other people intellectually"

WRONG!" she cried. Men like you
have no right to absent themselves
from the world of other men. They
are needed Their presence as we'll

He looked at her, astonished, CRATE
full.
II am going TO make YOU come to
New York and live in New York and

ask you about the play-the things
