 CHAPTER XI-Broadwav makes speech to his employes who in their en- thusiasm carry him around the plant or their shoulders.
 What is it ?" Mrs. Spotswood asked excitedly.
 T 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 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.
 It was the judge, at this instant, bustling in, who made the situation clear to them.
 Great Scott" he said, aglow with genial satisfaction. Talk about ex citement! The whole plant is in ali uproar"
 What is it, judge?" the owner of the plant inquired.
 'Why, didn't you send message out there by Higgins?"
 "Er-yes, I did"
 Well, that's. what they're cheering about. The men are yelling themselves hoarse and the boys arc dancing with joy The judge was beaming like a full moon with gray tufts of hair above it's ears. You'd think Bealam had broken loose They're yelling for you. Broadway. Come out and let them see you"
 Broadway was in state of panic, of blue funk, of sheer, unspeakable af- fright He tucked and looked about as if endeavoring to find that avenue through which escape would be easiest.
 No; not now, please" he begged pitifully.
 They might have let it go at that had not the cheering within the works broken out afresh.
 Listen to that" the judge adjured him, and urged him with happy hand upon his elbow.
 His wife went to his assistance "Oh, do go out and say something, Broad way!"
 Yes" the judge insisted, come and make speech"
 T can't say anything said the mis- erable and frightened Broadway. 'I never made a speech in my lifei"
 Josie, smiling gently, turned from them. When again she faced them she held in her hand the paper she had thrust so recently into that sacred, secret place. Read this to them,' she suggested.
 He took it, but he did not see whence it had been extracted, although Mrs. Spotswood did. The eyes of matrons of her age are sympathetieally attuned 10 signS of this s0rt seeing them wher
