CHAPTER Kill.


TT was a sad and chastened little
company that met In the office
ii next morning. Peale was cast
down for once in his life. Mary
was pensive, and only Rodney knew
that inner glow that gives the silver
lining to the cloud Of III luck and pow
erty. Mary had kissed him. He must
put that In his book OF days.
Mary looked at him anxiously and
seemed relieved to find him not entire
ly cast down. She had been wretched
herself, she said, worrying over the
betrayal Of her lover to the old soap
king and began again to bemoan her
bad break.
"Oh, Rodney, Rodney" she said to
him, 1T was all my fault! Your IA
Their had no idea of the truth. I didn't
understand. told him about our COM
pany-I did 1t an-betrayed you"
But you didn't mean to. It's all
right, Mary" said Rodney, reassuring
her.
"You forgive me?" asked Mary, look
ing him in the eyes.
why, OF course-I love you" he said
simply.
"Oh. Rodney, I'm so sorryr Mary
began again.
But If father thinks just because he
laced into me I'm licked he's all
wrong" he declared stoutly. Maybe
I have been a fake, but, By George, L
won't be any longer"
You're really going on" Mary
asked.
when I've got you you bet I am -
declared Rodney. do you really think
a long speech from father and no mon
ey to work with are enough to stop
me? No. sir. What father said got
me for a minute, but I'm not a gutter,
and I'll prove it I'll get out of this
mess the best way can, and then I'll
shine shoes or sell peanuts. I'll start
at the bottom instead OF finishing
there. I'll make money-Iu'-
'0h, Rodney, Rodney, now I am
proud Of your Mary interrupted.
Good old Ambrose Peale had been
most sympathetic that morning too.
"Peale. I'm sorry" said Rodney, "but
you're fired"
"Oh. no. little boss" said Peale. you
can't fire me! I'm just going to stick
around. whatever happens"
Ambrose stuck. In fact. they all
stuck. They decided TO pay the bal

what's coming TO ME. and I'll take my

His father looked him over curl
ously.
well, maybe I've said a little too
much" be said, relenting little.
"No; it's all true" said Rodney.
But, see here. 1 don't want you dis
graced," said his father. ~
You told me never to come back to
you for a nickel" said Rodney brave
ly, land i won't"
Now. see here" began Martin.
