He didn't wait for Ellery's answer,

In his present mood the meeting and

The sight of Ellery Clark completed
his disaste with the whole sorry

CHAPTER XVI.
Ambrose Peale.

nEALE took up the refrain next
~ and talked to Mr.. Martin about
N advertising.
But nowadays it isn't only
people who have stoves to sell or tooth
brushes that are spending money ON
publicity" he began Banks are adj
vertisiDg for money, nations for immi-
grants, colleges for students, cities for
citizens and churches for congrega-
tons, and you sit there thinking it
doesn't pay to advertise"
six hundred and sixteen million dol
lars We're spent last year in magazines
and newspapers, billboards and cleo
trio signs" recited Mary.
Bringing education and comfort and
fun and luxury to the people of the
United States" said Rodney. It's TO
nance, father the romance of printing
presses, of steel rails, of the wireless,
of trains and competition, the romance
of modern business, and it's all built
on advertising. Why, advertising is
the biggest thing in this country, and
it's only just begun"
We'll" said Mr.. Martin, when you
boys get through talking and you're
fat broke and down and out come
around and see me. I'll show you an
old business that has a lot of money,
that isn't radical and that manages to
keep going without wasting n fortune
in fool advertising"
'Then you won't let us get any
soap?" asked Rodney.
Risk my business reputation on a
silly scheme like dollar soap? | should
say not You may be crazy, but I'm
not
Eyes, you are" said Mary, beginning
to lose her temper.
ooh, come on" said Peale impa-
tiently. whats the use of talking to
man whose brain is deaf?"
The old sonp king only laughed.
And so to the accompaniment of his
scornful chuckles the three dejectedly
walked out. Poor Mary's mission had
failed. In the street outside she could
not help pouting a little, especially for
ROdney's benefit, and she scolded
Peale outright She was sure she
could have managed the old gentleman
if she had been allowed to do it in her
own intuitive woman's way, and she
told both the boys so fatty. What was
the use of spouting all those statistics?
What they wanted was $4,000 cakes
of soap. not 5000 words of advertising
talk. What impression had they made
on the soap king? Not the slightest.
Now, don't you be too sure" inter
rupted Ambrose. "Just let it sink In
and rankle bit and Wen see"
''Nonsense!'' said Mary GROSSLY.
Poor Ambrosel He wouldn't have
admitted it to anybody in the world.
