Jackson Jones went away early on
the following morning. As ignorant of
business and of business methods ~
baby, yet he tried to scheme some
way by means of which he might re
coup his staggering finances. Wild
ideas. all impractical, whirled through
his brain.
He must have money, that was GER
tain. He had not the least idea of
just how he had accomplished it, but
he had spent his patrimony-spent it
all and more than all of it. II he had
paid up the debts he owed-which all
the world seemed glad to have him
owe-that was the hard part of 1t;
everyone seemed anxious to have him
go in debt to them-he would have far
less than nothing left
For days he stewed above his fig
ures in room Of which he kept close
guard upon the key. He told Rankin,
who was curious, that he planned to
write book.
Indeed. sir! Fiction, sir!"
Fiction! Cad, no! Fact"
"A book Of travel, sir? I've Travelled

mo. Or yes. OF travel up and down
Broadway"
Splendid. sir, II l may be excused
Tor taking such a liberty. I'm sure no
gentleman in all New York is more
familiar with the subject. sir. 1 shall
be glad to read it. sir. I'm sure it
Will be quite = revelation"
Rankin" said Broadway earnestly. |
III l wrote what l really know about
Broadway It would be a revelation"
He grew very serious, for him 1T
would put some men on pedestals, and
they would not be those who now
stand highest. 1t would put some men
behind the bars, and among them are
some men who now are free to come
ana Co. with welcomes when they
come and invitations when they leave.
In every place where people gather in
this town"
He burst into sudden laugh. Great
stun, eh. Rankin? When you saw
Broadway you stir me up. love IT.

There's no street like 1t in the world"
