Broadway take a silent oath to see

which he might find within his gift

long as he should live, should go to

added. as she cast at him an angry
glance: "You have to be polite to
people, don't you?"
With that she founced out Of the
room, and, to the distress Of Broad.
way, went alone. Then and only then
he realized that the Judge intended to
remain. He was actually intent on
talking business. Broadway wondered
II he might not have to give his legal
work to some more intelligent attor-
ney. Could not the gum business wait?
But no. The judge was purely bust
ness. There was no hope. The young
man reconciled himself as best he
could.

Women are sometimes accused OF
not being on time, so It may be sur
prising to some persons to learn that
London's champion timekeeper is a
woman. Miss Anita Belleville has an
ofloe unlike any held by a woman in
any other part OF the world. She acts
as purveyor OF the correct time in Lon
don.
With her chronometer, which is one
Of the most perfect in the world and q
triumph Of the watchmaker's skill. she
calls at the Greenwich observatory
once q week and checks her instru-
ment by that offlcIal time. then carries
It around to her clients. A great many
Of her clients are watchmakers, who
find her chronometer able to make
finer distinctions than any other In
strument known. Miss Belleville Is
found to be much more exact than the
electric clocks that are set from q
central station. When tested q few
days ago at the observatory, her chro-
nometer was found to have varied only

didn't understand you. He never had
the least idea that you'd take up the
wholesale liquor business down there
or take up any other business for that
matter. He feared you'd go squander
ing your money.
Il wish he had known the truth be
fore he died! But he was really very
fond OF you, though he didn't always
show 1t in a way you recognized, per
haps. Naturally he would be; never
married; no children of his own.
He used to feel hurt that you new
er came to see him; but he always fig
ured that the plant and gum belonged
to you. You didn't understand one an
other-you him nor him you. But he
did not forget 1t was your father that
first made the gum a real success
That was the real reason he never let
go to the trust" the judge continued;
that and his regard for this com.
munlty."
1T must be an immense fortune.
Judge, isn't it," asked Wallace.
THE Consolidated people offered
him twelve hundred thousand dollars
for the plant and trademark"
"Yes; we know that" said Jackson.
Mr.. Wallace means aside from the
gum business"
WELL" said the Judge refectively.
you see those trust fellows have been
30 anxious to get the Jones Gum that
they've been making business pretty
warm OF late. They knew. for instance,
that we had q fund for advertising,
and they killed that fund for US two
years ago with one of their shrewd
business tricks"
Wallace was interested. How was
that?"
well, they sent in such a demand
on us that we added to the size Of the
plant and spent the money for ma.
chinery. We thought 1t was the pub.
lie. We never realized that 1t was any
thing but a legitimate increase till
the smash came. They quit all their
fake orders. We went back to our nor.
NAL business, laid OF our extra force
and found ourselves with lot Of use
less machinery and half a dozen super
fiuous packing houses on our hands
and no advertising done at all that
year. Shrewd game, eh?"

Of his friend.
Just shows you," Wallace answered.

None at all, unless he's got big CAPT.

manufacturer"
What did uncle do them" jackson
asked, and he fingered for a second on
that word uncle" He was beginning
to have new ideas about both gum and
uncles.
Turned everything he personally
had in all the world into hard cash and
put 1t bang into the business.7
This was somewhat startling. You
mean that, aside from the actual chew
ing-gum business. he left very little?"
Nothing at all. Well, l won't say
that, for believe the plant did actual
