CHAPTER XIV.
Soap Bubbles.

"C KINS, skates, shirts. Where's
- soap?" Rodney recited to Mary
A. and Peale.
''Skylights, states, slides, -
echoed Mary over his shoulder.
"Smelters, smokestacks, snuff" went
on Peale.
"Ah, here it is-soap manufacturers, -
said Rodney at last, Swimming down
the page. "Two-seven-six Broad. Here
is one Of fathers factories
1--WE got one too-374 Schuyler" said
Peale.
$50 have I-4SO Audubon" Mary
chimed in.
With one accord they dropped the
book and darted to the telephones,
shouting all together:
"TwO-seven-siX Broad"
"Four-eight-o Audubon"
"Three-seven-four Schuyler, and hur-
ry, sweetie.'
It'll have to be old rose" said Rod
ney in an aside as he held the wire.
CASTLE is the cheapest" Peale sug-
gested.
'Order small cakes" said the prudent
Mary. And then they all began again
together:
Hello Is this the Martin Soap COM
pany? We want to get some soap
pink castile-small cakes-40,O 900 or go
900 cakes-immediate delivery. What's
the price?'
Hello, four-eight-o Audubon. want
to find out if l can buy a lot of soap
right away-Old rose-castile-j0,00
cakes. We want it this afternoon"
"HellO. son. | want to huv lot of
soap, 0U,UU0 cakes. GOT 10 nave some
of it today-smallest size CASTLE cakes
you keep. If you haven't old rose,
pink II do. Who am /? None of your
business"
This last message, with its bit of airy
persifiage, came from Peale, who look
ed at the others and gave large and
happy wink as he surveyed them wait
ing at their receivers.
The tide had turned.
They could hardly wait till the soap
came in and was shipped out again to
Chicago. All three of them were as
excited as children waiting before the
doors that open on a Christmas tree.
Fifty thousand cakes, If was an in
estimable, an infinite. an incredible
number. Rodney had not an idea
whether n row Of 10000 cakes of 10
Soap would reach from our earth to
the moon or only from the Union ho-

him upstairs with beating
heart.
If there is any time in the day when
retired business man should be al
lowed to enjoy himself in his own ma
ture and self chosen way, it is the
hour between > and 6. This hour "be-
tween the dark and the daylight was
not the children's hour in Mr.. Martins
house, for good and sufficient reasons,
his only son having been cast off and
there being no "grands" yet any way.
Neither was it o'clock tea hour, for
Mr.. Martin never had tea any more
since Mary GraysOn had gone. He had
had Johnson bring it in for her once
in awhile in the old days. to feed her
up but not now. His new secretary
was a goose. and he packed her off, and
now he found some letters to open with
his own hands today, which seemed to
annoy him. Disgruntlement still sway

she said to Rodney as she began put
ting on her hat.
"All right" said the president mildly.
Rodney too looked as if something
were working in his mind, and no Won
der, Mary thought, with their situa-
ton what it was. Mary knew him like
book, but this time she would ask no
questions and keep her own counsel.
She was going straight up to Mr. Mar
tins on Fifth avenue and have a long
talk and argument with him. He sim
ply must let them have those extra
$4,000 cakes of soap for Brown &
James.
She scurried over to the Third Ave
nue. elevated and climbed the stairs of
the station at Worth street, her brain
working all the time. In a curious,
detached spirit she saw her nickel
slide into the groove made by so many
previous nickels on the hard wood sill
under the office window and dropped
her ticket delicately in the ticket chop
per's glass box.
Several local trains passed, all crowd
ed, and, being tired and enjoying the
fresh air, Mary was disposed TO take
her time and wait till she got the seat
she wanted. 1t gave her a luxurious
feeling TO let the trains go by and not
run after them, as people usually did
in New York.
A woman came presently and sat
down beside her, with an evident in
clination to talk She was young.

Her neighbor was obviously the latter

ed Mary over thoroughly a moment as
if appraising her.
Are you business woman?" she
asked after little pause.
Mary was good natured and a good
mixer, and, seeing that the woman suf-
fered only from human curiosity. she
answered, Yes adding just for fun:

tary. Our company has offices on Broad

The woman looked quite impressed.

pursued.
