ut was all wrong, unnatural. Some
thing must be the matter between
old Rodney and his father, Am
brose Peale reasoned, and he be-
lieved he knew what 1t was. He
would go up and see old Mr.. Martin
at once, tonight, before 1t was too late.
No, not tonight, tomorrow morning,
Saturday, when the soap magnate
would be home and the coast clear.
No, Saturday afternoon after lunch,
when people were more apt to feel gay
and good natured.
That was how, as a consequence of
this mood and various meetings and
reflections. Ambrose Peale came to
give bis name to johnson at the soap
kings house next day.
Meanwhile in far away Chicago

"He says he's from Brown & James,

"Oh, a kick. l suppose. Send him

He had to confess, however, that Mr..
Bronson of Chicago did not look like
kick when he came in, though his first
words were ominous. He seemed very
full Of business, and his business. 1t
seemed, was about 13 Soap.
"Well, what about ItT' Mr.. Martin
demanded. not too graciously.
Mr.. Bronson took his cue and was

that the 10 Soap was made by Mr.. Mar |

same time as he wired he would be /
