PROLOGUE.

Did You eyer hear of a success
full combination of love and bust
ness? Probably not. Well, here
is the opportunity to learn just
how it can be done. The greatest
force in modern commercial life
has undoubtedly been shown to be
effective advertising, and in this
interesting narrative you will see
how this fact comes into oper-
alton. Based on one of the most
popular plays of the year, this
storywtU be read with interest by
the business man, the ambitious
youth and the hustful young girl
who looks at life with more or
less of perple*ity. 1t is story
that reveals how the spirit Of
hope overcon1es the deepest de-
SPAR, even when the outlook is
most disheartening. 1T combines
fhe practical with the sentimental
affairs of business and home life
and at the same time running
through it is a vein of hunaor ir-
resisfble in its appeal. The
characters are true to life, ard
the net result of their activities
is that you should never acknowl-
edge defeat while you have a
breath to breathe.

Robinson, Jr., of the Pine Hill Dye
Works company, who had brought in
orders that set the concern on it's feet,
there was good reason to believe, in
just the nick of time. Compare all
these and q good few others with his
own young hopeful, and which name
got the best of it?
The boy was attractive, too; his father
had always liked him. Perhaps that
was one of the chief troubles. Even as
a little child he had never flown into
tempers or had hateful ways. His own
winning and noncombative disposition
had been the chief means, no doubt, of
Warding off the disciplines of life. He
was amiable and good looking in an I'M
obtrusive way, and everybody liked
him.. To look at him impartially you
would not have thought he lacked char
acter unless you yielded too much to
your prejudice against slight lisp and
an otherwise somewhat finicky way of
talking. He did not run into debt now,
nor oTerdraw his allowance, or at any
rate not very much; he had never done
so much, and in college he had got
fairly good marks, as nearly as his
father could make out, and had won his
degree of A. b. without too obvious diff
ticulty. Didn't the precious sheepskin
hang framed on the wall of his room,
surrounded by veritable picture gal
lery of college glee clubs and elevens
and mines? Cyrus Martin had been
credibly informed that you could not
actually graduate from Harvard or Yale
or Princeton without some portion of
mentality. Where did it show itself in
Rodney? AS a boy he had had his
flashes of cleverness and wit; what
had been revealed in them?

could not remember what they were;
had they been merely the subjective
readings of fond parents minds? Why
was Rodney so different from old

A Rich Mans Son.

very cOntented frame of mind.
There was Il thorn in his desh
and he began to feel it more and more
1t was not an agreeable sensation, a
thorn IN the flesh, for soap king
whose cuticle was not accustomed to it.
He traced it more or less vaguely to
his meeting that morning with his old
friend and rival in the soap business,
John Clark. They had fallen in with
each other, as often happened, dt the
Directors club about lunch time and
had one of their half friendly, half hos
tile chats together. And to, make a
long story short, Martin had bet Clark
100000 that his son, Rodney Martin,
would be making more money in a
years time than Clarks son Ellery. AS
neither boy had ever made a penny la
his life, unless betting On a football
game or winning a jackpot could be
calaed making money, there was fair
ly sporty favor to the bargain.
The bits of business lore and anec-
dotes of sagacity and trade that Clark
represented as coming frsm the preco-
cious lips of the marvellous Ellery had
Iinally goaded old Martin into fury.
He at least knew that Rodney was
nineompoop in business, If he was his
son; he had no illusions about that
But the comparisons had reached a
point finally beyond which he would
not let them proceed unchalehsed, and
10 he had made his ridiculous wager
and must abide by it. The prospect Of
turning over $4,000 to John Clark in a
years fine and admitting Rodney's in
competence to boot was devilish.
What was the matter with rich
mems sons anyway? thought Cyrus
Martin. Rodney's father had not spoil
ed him, his fathers conscience was
clear on that point lat least. Perhaps
he had not spoiled him enough, his
mother used to think so. Perhaps his
mother, had she lived, with that nerv-
Gus way she had of prodding people
on, would have been of benefit when
mere sternness had failed.
The boy had spent more money in
college each year than the sum total
of HIS fathers and mothers expenses
during the first childless years of their
married life: not necessarily on fast
living, his father was reasonably sure
Of that. but for luxuries and gew-
gaws at which young men in the old
days would have turned up their noses.
Rodney's father had not gone to col
lege himself, though his parents could
have sent him. He was not altogether
self made man. His own father,
Rodney's grandfather, a country bank
pr in Connecticut, had left him the
heritage of a modest fortune and
thrifty habits, and in the soap kings
mind now these seemed more to be
thankful for than half dozen college
professors and their snap courses. Yet
there was nothing particular the mat
ter with Rodney's Inheritance and en-
vironment, there was just something
lacking i'm the boy himself.
Compare Rodney, for instance, with
young Rufus Plodman, son of old Eli
fu Plodman of the State Wire and
Iron works. Rufus was one of the
Iveliest young men in the business
world. married to a nice wife and with
family growing up already. His
name was beginning to be mentioned
more and more. Tlien there was
