Do you realize the sort of contract you've sent in from this concern? Who ever gave you the authority to sign such an agreement for the Empire com pany?"
 You told me over the phone that could use my own judgment in the matter and then wired me"
 Well, didn't suppose I was deal ing with crazy man. Do you know ] you've guaranteed to cover every east ern and middle western state at a price that wouldn't pay for Pennsy!. vania alone? What the devil do you mean by making a statement to the Consolidated Gum people that the Elm pire is behind the Jones company. Bob was quite legitmately reaping a inc whiriwind harvest. He knew that. He had sown the wind But he be- lieyed that he might make this wind whirl mills, drive sails do stunts. Still, i explanation was difficult matter. Well, was bluffing them, that's all"
 And to what purpose, sire You have ! biuffed us out of half million dollars worth of future contracts that were 1 pending. and you have signed an agree ment with this Jones, that were it given to the public, would make us the 1 laaghing.stock of the advertising world
 Bob saw that in his fathers present | state of temper the best thing to do was to impress him with the inevita- | bility of il all. Once convince him that what he had done had been done be- yond recall, ard he would bend the Hondrous resodrcefulness which had made him giant of the advertising world to the necessary task of mak- ing that which had been done success l ful. He had counted on this quality of his fathers intellect and disposition. Well, it's too late to kick now, guy nor; the deal is made And I have your telegram authorizing me 10 sign the contract
 Why didn't you answer my tele- grams today?'

 Co on, I'm listening
 Well. it's long story
 T dare say
 Bob looked about for some place on l the grounds where they might have 1 quiet for conversation. There was none. The factory was locked up, the hotel was impossible, and the house was in disorder. He knew that only the ground floor had been occupied since Broadway,s uncle had departea on the voyage from which he never would return.
 Come and take a little stroll with me. he finally suggested No don't let's take the car. 1 don't want the man to hear us and I want to get sou into good humor to hear all about 1t. Wait minute He went toward the house to get his hat. and called Broadway as he went. "Oh, Jackson, Say Jackson,'' Broadway appeared at the ioo7.

 Be sure you are. We're waiting dinner for him. and the girls are just crazy to meet him..
 The elder Wallace caught the words. Instantly he felt that his susuicjons had been justified. Girls! And his son and the young millionaire there with them in the millionaire's own i house! "The girls," he exclaimed with hearty disapproval Wallace laughed at him. "Oh. not | guv'nor! Regular girls Nice people. You understand' Say. Bob, do me favor. will you? Show your father the plant while you are gone,' Broadway called after him.
 I'm going to-" Then. as Broadway gazed after them, half worried and half smiling, he heard Bob explaining | Jonesville to his skeptical and dis pleased parent
 You sec he heard. "this is the resi- dential part of the town Over there Is the business section
 His voice trailed of into silence as they vanished through the gates.
