Woolworth Building him an
ashenfaced man of thirty-fve, who
clutched the side of his roll-top desk
as if to save himself from falling.
"Whitaker!" he gasped MY God !"
''Flattered,' said Whitaker, I'm
sure.
He derived considerable mischievous
amusement from Drummond's patent
StupefactiOn. 1t was all so right and
proper-as it should have been. He
considered his a highly satisfactory
resurrection. Seldom does a scene
pass off as one plans it; but DrummOnd
played up his part in a most public
spirited fashion-gratifying, to say
the least
1t took him some minutes to recov-
er, Whitaker standing by and beaming.
He remarked changes, changes as
striking as the Improvement in Drum
monds fortunes. Physically his ex
partner had gone off a bit; the seden-
tary life led by the average successful
man of business in New York had
marked his person Enthusiastically. Only
his face seemed as it had always been
: sharply handsome and strong. Whit
aker remembered that he had always
somewhat meanly envied Drummond
his good looks; he himself had been
fashioned after the new order Of archi-
tecture-with 4 steel frame.
He discovered that they were both
talking at e-furiously-and,n not
without surprise, that he had a great
deal more enlightenment to impart to
Drummond than he had foreseen.
you've got an economical streak in
you when it comes to correspondence"
Drummond commented, offering Whit
aker a sheet of paper he had just
taken from a tin document-boX. That's
Exhibit A.
Whitaker read aloud:
Dear D.: I'm not feeling well, SO of
for a vacation. Burke has just been in
and paid $3.50 in settlement of our claim.
I'm enclosing herewith my check for your
share. Yours,
H. NJ w.

Fraid you won't get In, though"
Drumnond doubted darkly. Every.
thing in the house for this final week
was sold out month ago. Even the
spectators are cleaned out"
Tut" the manager reproved him
loftily. Hugh is going to see Sara Law
act for the last time from my personal
box-aren't you. Hugh?"
you bet l am'' Whitaker asserted
with conviction.
Then come along" Max caught him
by the arm and started for the door.

iced. I'm busy" he added, a trace
sullenly. "Tell him I've gone out"
"But he's got impeachment" the
boy protested. And besides, told
him you was in"
"You needn't fob him off on my ac-
count" Whitaker interposed. 1--WE can
finish our confab Observation-Disclosures
time. It's time for me to be getting
uptown, anyway"
st isn't that" Drummond explained
doggedly. "Only-ths mans a bore,
and"
SIT isn't Jules MAXI Whitaker ex-
citedly. mot little Jules Max. who
used to stage manage our amateur
shows"
That's the man." Drummond ad-
mitted with plain reluctance.
Then have him In. by all means. I
want to say howdy to him. IL nothing
more. And then I'll clear out and leave
you to his troubles
Drummond laughed trifie sourly.
Max has developed into a heavy
weight entrepreneur, you know"
Meaning theatrical manager7 Then
why not say so1 But I might've
guessed he'd drift into something of
the sort"
A moment later Whitaker was Wig
orously pumping the unreststing-In-
deed the apparently boneless-hand of
Jules Max. The hat that had made
Hammerstein famous Max had appro-
priated-straight crown, fiat brim and
immaculate gloss-bodily. Beneath 1t
his face was small of feature, and fat.
A pince-nez sheltered his near-sighted
eyes. His short, round little body was
invariably by day dressed In dark
gray mOrning-cOat, white-edged waist
coat, assertively-striped trousers, and
patent-leather shoes with white spats.
He had passion for lemon-coIored
gloves OF thinnest kid and slender
malacca walking sticks. His dignity
was an awful thing, as ingrained as
his strut.
He reasserted the dignity now with
a jerk Of his maltreated hand, read
tusted his glasses, and resumed his
stare.
Either" he observed, you're Hugh
Whitaker come to life or a deuced out
rage"
Both II you like"
"You sound like both" complained
the little man. Anyway, you were
drowned in the Philippines or some
where long ago. and I never waste
time on dead one. Drummond
-" He turned to the lawyer with a
vastly business-like air.
"No, you don'tr' Whitaker insisted,
putting himself between the two men.
II admit that you're a great man
you might at least admit that I'm
live one"
A Modified smile moderated the
small mans manner. THAT'S a bar
gain" he said, extending pale yell
low paw; "Tm glad to see you again,
Hugh. When did you recrudesce7"
IAN hour ago." Drummond answered
for him; "blew in here as large as
life and twice as important. He's
been running a gold farm out In New
Guinea. What do you know about
that?"
"1ts very interesting" Max con-
ceded. you've asked him, Of coursef"
he demanded Of Drummond, nodding
toward Whitaker.
Drummond flushed slightly. "No
chance" he said. II was on the point
Of doing It when you butted In"

Max delivered himself Of a startling
bit OF Information: "He's going to get
married."

HALF HOLIDAY.

d Most of the merchants who sign
ed the list to close their stores on
Friday afternoon during July and
August did so the very first week
and it is believed all of them will
close tomorrow and give their clerks
a breathing spell. 1t is quite GER
tain that the clerks in the few stores
that do not close will soon open
their eyes and will want the same
p .ivrIege extended them that the
clerks in other stores enjoy or there
will sooner or later be an insured
ton. No store will lose anything
by the movement. Suppose for ar
gument's sake a store takes in $50
on dry, dull Friday afternoon the
profits would be very little and yet
there are several, who will not do
that much business.
The trading public will think more
of the stores, we dare say, for this
generosity. so let all join hands in
this humane movement.
The list of those signing to close
has been published and the people
know who they are and certainly no
one can afford not to carry out the
and we believe they will.
