And I want to get down early tomor-
row. Conference with Mr.. Berg, and
Hupp." He tried not to sound too i'm
portant. 80
Emma McChesney took his head
between her two hands and kissed
him once on the lips, then, standing
a-tiptoe, kissed his eyelids with infin-
lite gentleness as you kiss a babv's
eyes. Then she brought his cheek up
againt hers. And so they stood for a
moment, silently.
Ten minutes later there came the
sound of blithe whistling from Jocks
room. Jock always whistled when he
went to bed and when he rose. Even
these years of living in a New York
apartment had not broken him.:of the
habit. It was a CHEERFUL disconnected
whistling, sometimes high and clear,
sometimes under the breath, some
sometimes ceasing altogether at crit
ical moments, say, during shaving, or
while bringing the four-in-hand up
tight and snug under the collar. It
was one of those comfortable little
noises that indicate masculine pres
ence; one of those pleasant, reassur-
ing, man-in-the-house noises that
every woman loves.
Emma McChesney, putting herself
to bed in her room across the hall,
found herself listening, brush poised,
/ lips parted, as though to the exquis-
it strains of celestial music. There
came the thump of a shoe on the
| floor. An interval of quiet. Then an
other thump Without having been
| conscious of it, Emma McChesney
! had grown to love the noises that &C
companied Jocks retiring and rising.
| His dressing was always signalized
| by bangings and thumpings His
! splashings in the rub were tfemen-
dous. His morning plunge could be
heard all over the six-room apart
ment Mrs. McChesney used to call
| gayly through the door:
Mercy. Jock! You sound like q
school of whales coming up for air"
You'll think I'm school of sharks
when it comes to breakfast" Tock
would call back "Tell Annie to make
enough toast, Mum She's the tight.
/ est thing with the toast / ever did
The rest would be lost IN finaI
surging splash.
i The noises in the room across the
hall had subsidized now. She listened
/ more intently. No, a drawer banged

They're as thick as advertising men
In Detroit on Monday morning. But
we knew that this Western branch
was going to be given an equal chance
with the New York Office. Those big
Western advertisers like to give their
money to Western firms if they can.
So we figured that they'd pick real
top-notcher-even Hopper, or Hupp,
maybe-.and start out with bang. So
when the Old Man called me into his
Office this morning / was as uncon-
s-ious as a babe. Well, you know

"'M-m-m-m, yes He drummed his
fingers on the table top couple OF

have you learned about advertising
in the last two and a half years?'
81 was wise enough as to Bathol-
omew Berg to know that he didn't
mean any cut4and-dried knowledge
! He didn't mean rules of the game
He meant tricks.
We'll l said, I've learned tc
watch mans eyes when I'm talking
business to him. If the pupils of his
1eyes dilate he's listening to you, and
thinking about what you're saying
When they contract it means that he's
only taking interest, even though he's
looking straight at you and wearing
a rapt expression. His thoughts are
miles away
THAT Sol? said Berg, and sort o.
grinned. What else?
I've learned that one negative ar
gument is worth six positive ones
that it never pays to knock your com

that joker known as editorial CO
operation
THAT SOP said Berg. Anything
else?'

member that one Of the speakers ut

so strong a bid for the support Of the

wave of Indignation surged through

including Mr.. Lind, repudiated the

them in no uncertain language. 1t

Washington, May 11.-Germany has

note, accepting Americas position in
the submarine issue. Ambassador
Gerard has cabled the State depart
ment that the kaiser has formally ad,

embassy when it became known there
that Ambassador Gerard had received
Germany's admission of guilt in the
Sussex case.
The pledge in the last German note
makes it self-evident there will be no
hesitation by Germany in disavowing
the act, it was said, and although no
official could forecast what punishment
would be given the commander the
opinion was expressed it would not be
too "len1ent." Discipline in the Ger

explained. The question of the
