 'I heard everything you said"
 'I don't quite gather your meaning"
 No; and you're not going to gather our chewing-gum either We're not going to sell We're going to fight You haven't tottering old man to deal with now, but a young man-full of fire and fight, of energy and ambi tion! Iook!"
 Bob himself knew this to have been fine flight He pointed with ges- ture full of drama at Broadway, who did the best he could to meet the situ- ation with an attitude which might have broken Pembroke's gravity had he been less absorbed and incensed

 Pembroke smiled. He had we'll trained face. He also was an egotist, both for himself and for his company. We spend million dollars annually in advertising, Mir. Wilson"
 No you don't,7 said Wallace promptly. T know what you spend better than you do yourself And my name is not MT. Wilson, and I'm not MT. Jones secretary" He pulled a card out of his pocket. Here's my name and here's my business
 Pembroke took the card, looked at 1t, and was really affected As far as he was capable of showing real uneasi- ness he showed it then.
 You mean the Empire Advertising company is behind this business9"
 The Empire Advertising company, it must be remembered, was the largest in the world.
 Wallace had not thought of that. He had not meant to say the Empire was actually behind Jones' Pepsin gum. But now that Pembroke had suggested 1t, it seemed to him to be a good idea. and, without taking into consideration the important fact that his father, not himself, was president of the Empire Advertising company, he took the plunge.
 That's just what I mean, and we're going to do five times as much adver- tenth the cost"
 Then my people do no more busi- ness with the Empire"
 "All right Wallace positively sneered, then let's see how much out door advertising you get this side of the Rocky mountains"
 Pembroke rose. He was not happy. but he did his level best to hide his worry.
 Very well, I'll take the 40 back to New York. Come, John" He turned. then, to Broadway, and spoke omin- ously. You mark my word, Mr Jones, you'll be glad to do business with us before another year has passed.'

It was not until the excitement was III over at the factory. until the cheer ng had died down and the whole place lad begun to buzz with industry for he long afternoon of happier labor han it had known of late years, that Wallace thought of lunch. He was not usually one to forget eating. It rather startled him.
 Broadway" he remarked, aston ished, do you know We haven't fed2"
 Do business men?'
 That doesn't make good sense Do business men?' We've just done one business man. Pembroke has gone jack to New York with his disposition a sling. But what did you think 'ou were expressing when you said: Do business men 9 2"

 They tried the first part of the luncheon. and it was just after they had tried 1t that Broadway, desperate ly worrying about the future. was smit- cen by happy thought
 Why live at the Grand?" he asked.
 You can't" said Wallace. It's not living"
 Why anything at the Grand when I'm the owner of house with IA rooms, three baths. root cellar and phonograph?"

 It was Mrs. Spotswood whom he called upon the wire, and gladly. nay. delightedly, she promised to take charge of the expressing task of get ting the Jones homestead ready for it's future master.

 ''If Mrs. Robinson's IS good house. keeper as she has always been, you could move in today"
 Within an hour she called him mp and told him that Mrs Robinson was just as good a housekeeper as ever, that the rooms had all been aired, that he had been expected hourly.
 Can we have dinner there tonight?"
 Why not?"
 You mean it9"
 "Of course'

 Well. 1 should say so'
