CHAPTER XIV.

Clara had run down the steps, leav-
ing the swing vibrating somewhat jerk
lily from the speed of her abandonment
of it, declaring that she wished to get
a sight of the elder Mr.. Wallace, even
if he did not choose to stop and talk
when he came up. She had noted that
the chauffeur, seeing the father and
son approach, had already started his
engine. Her desertion left Broadway
and Josie in the swing alone together.
He laughed. Did you notice that?
She calls him Bob l heard him call
her Clara 16 times today"
Josie smiled. Eyes; l noticed that.
Jackson was strangely intent upon
her answer. He was confused, although
he did not know the reason why. And
then, suddenly, he knew. Finding that
he knew, he found himself still more
confused. = r..

intense earnestness, knowing, some
how, that he vas an ass. 81 didn't
think you noticed it." ''
Josie thrilled, but found it hard to
smother l~aughter-not wholly that of
ridicule, mostly that Of joyousness. She
made no other answer.

Broadway had heard the voices, Mrs.

him, and now he himself hurried down
the steps. .

He went on to the elder Wallace,

it was not seized eagerly, gripping
earnestly for Wailace's.

Yes; fine. This is jackson Jones,

AS Wallace turned. away Broadway
had a chance to whisper in Bob's ear:
Anything wrong?"

The elder Wallace looked at him for
scant two seconds with a glance
which indicated that he thought him
far too unimportant to receive more
copious attention. Then he turned
severely to his son.

FAULT IN AMERICAN VOICE
Touch of Harmony Does Not Seem to
Be There, as It Is With Other
Races.

The American voice lacks cadence.
The touch Of harmony is lacking. In
depth or shrilIness, it's strongest quail
ity is monotony Of tone.
In conversation it is colorless, and
half of the our of the vocal
cords are unused or u~ndeveloped. A
strident, high-pitched, nasal voice fails
in saying any good thing we'll.
Every one has the power of speak
ing with sweet infection. Every one
can attain a r~eposeful utterance and
clear enunciation by training the ear
and voice to work together in avoid
ing harsh tones. and %cul:ivating the
middle and more mellow register in
every voice.
Excitement sends it up to a scream

again. and its playground should be
through the varying harmonies or ca

Now, sir, perhaps you'd like to e
plain the meaning of all this damned
nonsense"
What n~onsense?" Bob knew very
well that to which his father made
| his very earnest reference, but he was

mans voice was full of injured inno-
cence.
Business! Humph! Fine business!
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 CON-
pany?"
You told me over the phone that l

Bob saw that in bis fathers present
state of temper the best thing to do
was to impress him with the inevita-
bility of it all. Once convince him that
what he had done had been done be-
yond recall, and he would bend the
%wondrous resourcefulness which had
made him giant Of the advertising
world to the necessary task Of max
ing that which had been done success
full. He had counted on this quality Of

This lesson is closely connected
with that of last week; while spoken
especially to his disciples it was most
probably at the same time and In
the same atmosphere as that of the
other lesson. The teaching Is q con-
tinuation Of that Just given and which
grew out Of the hospitality Jesus re-
ceiyed In the Pharisee's house. The
heart of Jesus was filled with compass
sion for the needy multitude. He,
the. Good Shepherd, was seeking the
lost sheep. His anger was kindled
against the men whose love OF money
and of. show had calloused them In
the presence Of this multitude. It.
was in this spirit that he turned and
taught his disciples.

RUDE WADDELL DEAD
Famous SouthpaW Loses in
Battle With Tuberculosis. "

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April 2.-George
Edward Waddell, the famous RUDE. as he
was known wherever base ball is played,
died at sanatorium here late yesterday,
a victim of tuberculosis after a long
fight for life. Waddell, once one of the
greatest of base ball pitchers, came to
west Texas four months ago, already
weakened by pulmonary trouble. but
buoyant and hopeful that few months
would see him restored to health and
back in the game. He located on a
ranch near Boerne. but instead of i'm
proving. his strength grew weaker from
day to day until his condition became so
serious last month that he was brought
to a sanatorium here.
John Waddell, Rube's father, and his
mother arrived from Boerne two hours
after their son died A sister, who lives
here, is the only other surviving relative.
Interment will be here tomorrow.
