On the way to the hotel, after they
had left the judges house. Broadway
tried to tell Bob Wallace what, in

could not, for he had not the least

young advertising man He knew as
well as anyone that If the trust feared
and wished to purchase the Jones
gum it could be but because the trust
knew that the Jones gum was a dan
gerous competitor. If, managed as 1t
had been, unadvertised, it had been a
dangerous competitor to the trust,
then 1t was worth haVing-emphatic
ly worth keeping.
And some day Broadway must do
something. He could not forever play
the idler on the Great White Way,
even If his millions were unnumbered-
It was no life for an actual man, and
Bob was sure that hidden somewhere
in his friend were the true elements
OF worthy manhood. Nothing had oc-
Cured to bring them out, that was all.
He thought they might be coming now
Reaching the hotel, they found the
place In utter darkness. Not a light,
even turned down for the night, was
visible at any window; not sound Of
life came from the building save a
rhythmic cadence of some sleeper soft
| ly saving wood with a dull saw.

How do you know that is the
clerk?' asked Broadway, listening crit
ically to the snore.

a Bible upon which to swear that he
never again would set foot in Jones

eyes, and so began to hammer on the
door.
After a quarter of an hour of steady
hammering, some shouting and little
whistling. he was rewarded by a sleepy
and tIl-tempered voice from a slowly
opened window.
'HeavensI Was his window closed.

Wallace was shrewd young man.

has driven you insane?" he asked.
I'm thinking about JonesvilIe. Ny

We'll, he made a blamed bad Job
of it. Why didn't he build a place a
man could get a decent drink In while
ne was about it?''
And my father kept it going"
well. he didn't keep it going very
fast"
And now I've got to keep my faith
with it. 1t is a sacred duty. I must
not abandon it,"
Say said Wallace, in disgust
Where did you get that stuff? Have
YOU gone out and tried to get a decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. 1t ought to be put out
of its misery"
The trust would close the plant and
ruin all these people"
You'd think they were first cousins,
to hear you talk about them"
Bob" Broadway chided in a soft
and earnest voice, ''they are far more
than that far, far more than that.
They are charges placed by Providence
in the care of the Jones family. And,
Bob, I'm the last of the Joneses''
Let US hope thereu never be an
