Some people are going to Europe for
pleasure trips, and if they get into
trouble they understand it is the bust

you can't deny it," He hurled the words
at Hall
The latter tried to meet his accuser's eyes,
but failed disnally. He turned in despera-
ton to the directors. "Have we grown so
moral all of a sudden that can't take step
to cinch this franchise for the company with
out being abused and insulted?"
"You can't buy this franchise without
going to jail and wrecking the company!"
said Benton decisively.
why can't we?" demanded Hall.
Because III take the pages I've engaged
in the newspapers tomorrow and tell the
story of your croolSedness from start to
finish" He paused and swept the little cir
"You can take the opposite pages, if you
want to, and fill them with denials. But
even then will beat you; for l know my
business!'
An uneasy silence followed. Halls shifty
eyes sought out each of the directors in turn
and cast watery appeals at them; but they
avoided his glance.

THE official count on election night
I showed that the franchise had been ap-
proved by majority of 4,317 votes. Most of
the newspaper men agreed that it was the
1925, 900 Reward resolution passed by the
board of directors and advertised by Benton
that cinched the case for the company.
Smith of the Herald shrewdly deduced,
however, that it was the twelve-word post
script at the bottom of this ad that had
landed the winning punch. This read:

- BEAT THE FRANCHISE"
Continued from page II

P. S. Mr.. Robert Hall has resigned from
the Clifton Light & Power Company.
Benton paid his farewell call upon Moore
the next morning. The general manager
greeted him with a quiZzical smile.
"Well, you won the franchise for us, all
right"
II won more than that, Mr. Moore" said
Benton quietly Il won the friendship and
good will of the people for YOU
Moore drummed with his fingers on his
desk for moment THAT friendship stuff
is something new-I1l hardly know what
to do with it.
The general manager shot shrewd glance
at him. 3By the way he said, @what did
the campaign cost youo'
II haven't looked over all the advertising
bills yet" replied Benton: "but 1 imagine
my expenses will total somewhere around
five thousand dollars
"That gives you a profit of about fortv-
five thousand dollars" said Moore slowly.
Then the Notwithstanding" instincts that
had helped give him his reputation as one
of the most economical operators in the pub
lie utility field asserted themselves. "Don't
you think we're entitled to rebate, Ben
ton?" he suggested.
A hard look came into the young adver-
tising mans eyes. Il ought to have charged
you two hundred thousand dollars" he said
coldly.
Moore Strengthened up. 4Why?"
"To prove to you that honesty pays" He
paused, and then continued quietly, "You,ye
paid only fifty thousand dollars for that in
formation, Mr.. Moore, and the results will
be worth ten times that sum to you in the
next ten years."
Moore pondered "Maybe there's some
thing in that he said thoughtfully.

Jer1nyn made no reply for a moment.
Glancing into his face, Smith suddenly real
lied that he had blundered. He vigorously
launched into another subject.
"My mistake, no doubt. People gossip SO
in those small places. Now" he added, 81

Jerrnyn, to really good shirt maker. You

suggested. Il think my people are as good

They made some purchases together and
reached Jermyn's club at about twenty
minutes past one. When they were about
halfway through luncheon Jerrnyn stopped

Sidney he said, "you know everyone.
Tell me, where is Chalmers?'
LEFT for America this week, his friend
replied; "on the Lusitania, l think"
Smith was quiet man, of quiet manners
and impassive countenance. Nevertheless
he split a little VINE from the glass he had
been in the act of conveying to his lips. He
leaned forward across the table. His eyes
seemed to have sunk deeper into his head,
and his voice was scarcely pitched in its
natural key.
"Gone to America-Aaron Chalmers?"
"That's So" Jermyn's friend assented

"You gave us quite a surprise.
"I shall be glad of your support, Jermyn
answered.
SMITH finished his luncheon in more
~ silent mood. Directly they had reached
the hall he held out his hand.
"Sir Jermyn,' he began, Il am exceeding
ly indebted to you for your hospitality.
There is nothing | can do in return except
to assure you that whenever you find Your
self on my side of the water-well, | am
your debtor. But there is just one thing l
should like to remark. l don't want to al
lude to a painful subject at unnecessary
length, but that was terrible affair down
at your place when l was there"
Terrnyn sighed "Mr Smith, he said,
"you are right. I don't think we shall get
over the shock for sometime"
81 wanted just to say this" Smith con-
tinued emphatically. Il don't suppose its
likely that anything disagreeable to you
could ever arise from it; but if things turn
out that way, if things get somehow so that
you need help or advice-why, | want
you to remember that am a criminal law

though, and that is that you came into the
smoking room with me now, and over that
cigar and some very excellent brandy told
me just what those ideas of yours were"
Smith shook his head. NO. he said,
@that wouldn't quite fit in. I'd rather not
butt in on this affair at all, if l can help it
You see, he went on slowly, Justice, as the
law of your country understands it, and the
real Justice holding the scales between two
human beings, are not always quite the
same thing. l guess I'll have nothing to
say, unless, as suggested just now, matters
don't go altogether right. Here's to you,

Lucille had recovered herself to some ex-
tent, and held out her fingers. 3Of course

Termyn, am afraid l could only remember
that he was associated in my mind with

American replied, that | shall have no op-
portunity to efface from your mind that un-
fortunate impression. 1t was an ill-timed
visit of mine, beyond a doubt; but in its

great shock for me as for any of you.
"You must give us an opportunity Jer-
myn declared, "of seeing something more of

Smith answered. an the meantime expect

pleasure if you and the Duchess would do
me the honor of dining with me at my hotel,

@You are very kind, Lucille said. Il am
afraid, for the present, SO far as l am con-
cerned, it would be quite impossible. Jer-
myn knows how full of engagements l am

on the edge of the pavement.

Blackheads,
are a confession

of the use of the wrong method of cleans
ing for that type of skin that is subject to
this dishguring trouble.
The following Woodbury. treatment
will keep such skin free from blackheads.
Apply hot cloths to the face until the
skin is Redeemed. Then with rough
washcloth work up heavy lather of
Woodbury's Facial Soap and rub it into
the pores thoroughly-always with an up
ward and outward motion. Rinse with
clear, hot water, then with cold-the
colder the better. If possible, rub your
face for few minutes with lump of ice.
Dry the skin carefully.
Do not expect to get the desired result by
using this treatment for time and then neg
lecting it. But make it daily habit and 1t
ariH give you the clear, attractive skin that the
! steady use of Woodbury's always brings.

TIME OTHER day banker, =
railroad president, a manufac-
4 turer. and a newspaper man
fell into conversation on the probable
ftate Of Europe when the war ends.
Their opinions varied about which
side would win. or whether it would
end in a draw Of sheer exhaustion.
They agreed that however It might
end the people Of the nations on one
side or the other, and maybe the pe0-
pie OF the nations on both sides,
would find themselves ur er a bur
den Of taxation heretofore never SER

branches in several European capi-
tails and in the Levant He asked
the banker in what country he
thought a man could most safely IN

The bOndholder answered that he
had been studying that question for
two or three years, because Of British
legislative tendencies, and had con-
cluded that the United States and
Canada were "the best bets" He al
so ayerred that a very quiet but large
migration Of British wealth was
taking place.
Now if such was the effect Of the
social" legislation Of England some
years ago, what is going to be the ef-
