Dental head Of the great enterprise

The folk Of Jonesville had neither

been sort Of elemental necessity to

speak, leaned with feeling Of secur-

crude, undevolped way, be merry. Now
that he was dead. a feeling of uncer-
tainE spread mild panic through the
little town.
The Judge was waiting for the two
men In the hotel corridor. His worry
over what the new owner OF the fac
tory might decide to do about the per
fectly well known trust plans was
quite as keen as anyone's, but his dig
nifty forbade that he should make dis
play OF 1t.
1t was something Of relief to him
when Broadway hurried to him from
the hotel once and held out his hand,
although the boys appearance was a
shock to him. He remembered him as

With that he sprang out OF his chair
and rushed about the room with joy
upon his face and showed his deep
contempt for little things by breaking
several costly vases. throwing six
American Beauty roses in the waste
basket and tossing cushions here and
there. One of an especial elegance he
threw out on Broadway, never looking
to see whose head 1t softly lighted
