This wn his way of suggesting that ho protended to believe Dcrt had n choice K in me mnuer. IK "U depends on how much you offer Im. me." returned Bert, keeping up the flc- j'Bf tlor. inrnt'lllo iiiuuotiiui, t'luiiiiiuj stated Bozzpm. Bert laughed scornfully. "I can sell It for forty by subdividing It." he declared. "Poslbly," admitted Bozzam. "Hut advertising and selling will cost you a good stiff percentage, nnd will take up six mrths of your time. We'ro offering you a quick turn of five thousand profit." "Nothing doing," insisted Bert, but made a return step townrd his chair. "I tell you what I will do, though: close the deal today, and I'll make It twenty six." "I wouldn't closo today at any price," responded Bozzam. "I want a 30-day op tion." Bert frowned, genuinely concerned. "There's a chnnco that you won't com plete your pti'chnsc," he objected. "There's no chance at all," denied Boz zam, with pardonable pride. "If my outfit starts to organize a company, It's or ganized." "Then why not close for this property nt once?" urged Bert. "Against the rules." Bozzam truthfully Informed him. "Our capitalist won't htand for It. You don't need a diagram of that." Bert was silent, and for the second tlmo that morning, stroked an Idea from the surface of his mustache. 'VPhat will you give mo for a 30-day option?" he Inquired. "Five hundred dollars." "Over and above the purchase price?" "Well, yes," consented Bozzam, after a mome..i of reflection. "Twenty-five hun dred :. all." "All Isht." agreed Bert, and went out smiling:. He was a brilliant chap; full of ideas! , Downstairs he went to the telephone again, and called up the Marley residence. "Miss Molly still busy?" he asked. "Yes, Mr. Glider," the maid informed ' him. "She won't be going out for nn hour or so, will she?" "No, sir." "All right," returned Bert, thoroughly sntlsfted, and lie hurried back to Sledge's office, where he found Bendlx, nnd going over to the court house, they spent tho next hour and a half sealing, binding and deeding: the Porson estate to the shrewd juuns real estate speculator, who, after a vjslt to the bank with Bendlx, gave up twenty thousand sliver dollars for tho privilege. This ceremeny concluded, Bert hurried down to the telephone, but did not wait to have- Molly called. He onls directed the maid tu tell her he waj-coming straight out, and then he jumped on a street car, chuckling over his clever plot. Frank Marley, as he walked Into his awn residence, was by no means chuck ling over his coming interview with Mol ly, but he managed to save his face to himself by persuading himself that his serious trepldatlpn was grave fatherly concern. He called Molly Into his den at the end of the hall, and plunged numbly on to his undoing. .. "Molly. I wish to speak with you seri ously," he observed, sitting down, and motioning her to a seat In front of him. "What Is the matter?" she Inquired, In stantly ccnccrned. "Sledge,' he replied. She sat down, and her cheeks flushed. "He had been speaking ot me," she sur mised. "Bath last night and this morning," her father admitted, pleased with her quiet tone. "He Is extremely anxious to marry you, Molly," "What did you tell him?" she asked curiously, "That I had nothing to say In the mat- ter, of course," he promptly assured her.

THepfiAS PtAIH AS UFfi'.I SAW HIM OUST A3 FLAIH AS X CAN "Naturally, t know wnat a shock such a proposal would be lo you, Molly. But I nave too much of n father's crtre Tor yoil not to consider Very gravely niij Ihlng which might concern our welfare." "And nro u In fnvor of such n mar rlnge?" rho asked, so dispassionately thnt he mentally complimented her on her good tense. "Welt, yes," ho said again. "I'm not!" she blazed. "It may seem cruel In mo to Interfere with nnv ot your business plans, but it Is too lato to dis pose of me." She sailed nut of the room, nhd was confronted by the Mushed nnd excited Hrrt Ullder, who was loo full of Im portant plans to remember that ho hnd certain engagement formalities in ob serve. "f say, Molly," he Mnrled, "have you lold nnv ono of our cnKiiunniMit" " "Why?" alio returned, wondering nt his anxiety; It was scarcely engcrnt'ss "Well. I'll tell you," he chuckled. "A great stunt has turned up. Yoti know, I had a dicker nn with Sledge, t went to hint to close It, nfter I telephoned you my heart and hand, nnd ho had the nerve lo tell me Hint I'd better stay out of ho deal If I didn't keep nwnv from you. Molly, I beat him nt his own game. 1 closed the dcnl with him, nnd Immedi ately gave n 30-day option on tho prop erly. All wo have to do, for mo to mnko a nvc-thoiisnnd-dollnr profit. Is to keep our engagement n secret for 30 days." Molly opened her eyes In mnazemont. "Why didn't you tell mo our engage ment wns a business dealt" she suddenly flared "I'm sorry to bo tho benrcr of pad news. You're broke!" "Broke!" he exclnlmed. "You and father may conwnlo each other," she cheerfully told him. "l'vu lost money for both of you." "What have you done?" he demanded, beginning lo fear that something had gone wrong. "Onlv told Willie Walters," she care lessly stated. "I've promised him tho 'scoop' since forever. Is that tho Blade yon hnve In your pocket?" She took It, still folded, from where ho had thrust It, unopened just before he stopped on tho cnr. She opened It, and displayed to Bert's shocked eyes Willie's gleeful, three-column, hnlf-tone-lllus. trated announcement of the engagement. "Good lord!" groaned Bert. Tho telephone bell rang. "Mr. Sledge, Miss Molly," said tho inn Id. "Not here," retun.cd Molly, nnd laughed. "I'll answer," offered Bert, and she followe-l him in wonder tu the telephone. "Who Is this?" rasped thei voice of Sledge. "Bert Glider." "Oh, It's you, Is It? What's this I sco In the Blade about you nnd Molly?" "It's a mistake," said Bert. - "You'ie not engaged?" "No." When he returned from the telephone Molly dropped six dlnnmnd rings into his hand and started upqtairs. 'Don't any of them 111?" he asked re gretfully. "do home," she haughtily advised him. "But you don't ur.deif-tnnd!" ho called, running up the stairs alter her. "Let mo explain." The telephone rang again nnd the maid came to Molly. ".Mr. Walters on the teleDhone." nti- nounccd Minn. How npinpos!" rejolted Molly, and hurried eagerly to answer. "You're a quick woiker. Mollv," com plimented Willie Walters. "1 hear you've broken our engagement with Bert. Is that light?" "Yes!" .Molly enthusiastically Informed him. "Is Sledge authorized to deny It?" "Vch, anybody Is!" (die exulted, and carried ner exultation l,-ek to Bert. Ho tried for a solid hour to slip the largest of the dlnmoiida on her linger, but was giving up In dchpalr when Fern came running up tho stairs with the leg ular home edition of tho Blade. The picture of Molly was In the same ornate frame which It had embellished In the noon issue of the Blade, but, from the panel formerly occi.pitd by Bert, gloomed the funereal features of Sledge, and the three-column announcement had spread until It now covered tho front page, at tho top of which lan nn in tensely black line declaring thnt Sledge denied Molly's engagement to Bert. Molly grabbed all six rings and put them on her lingers. "I'm part of the deal, Bert!" she ex claimed. "No, you can't kiss me!" CHAPTER XII. Bert Gilder left Molly at tho gate at 11:30 In a high Btato of elation because Molly was now heart and soul with him In the project of fooling Sledge. "Don't worry about me. Bert," shi assured him. "I'll enact my part of tho farco, and In ths meantime bco If you can't figure out some additional way to get the better of him." "I'll brine jou his goat at the end of n pink ribbon." conlldently promised Bert. "I know some secret passages In the big thug's political history which I will pass over to tho Blade, nnd Wllllo Walters will nttond to the rest." Bert, planning big things In tho way of revenge upon Sledge for bringing him Into public humiliation, nnd, by the way, for humiliating Molly, and also gloat ing In his triumph, lode downtown and swaggered Into the Commercial Club, where Dicky Reynold and AVee Wllllo Walters were Just finishing a three-hour team fight against Paul Herschey and Gilbert Stokes at billiards, with Phillip Bossy as referee. At 2 o'clock Bert was circumspect enough to acknowledge, albeit with a bright eje, that this was tho saddest night of his life. At 2:30 he was led to confess that he mill had hopeB. At 3 ociock, tna worm now ueing his ojater, and he possessing a knife, liu was private ly advising each of his friends In turn to watch nnd wait; and at 3:30 he was promising Invitations to the great event, WHV, THAT AtN'T (x WARN VA SQUl ReT fOH'.

As this Interesting stage of his mourn ing patty occurred lh tho Occident Saloon, whero the tittle blonde, bartender kept yawning watch, nnd semlfrowsy midnight Icafors drank limitless beer to moisten their desperately Important conversation, several of Bert's friends quietly warned him that ho was talking too much, but Bert protested that ho was a free-born American citizen. CltAPTRIl XIII. Mltle Henry Peters, who conducted a fairly prosperous little tnllor shop, ate his breakfast In unusunt elation, nnd glanced fondly nt tho morning paper from time lo time, while equally smiling little Mrs. Peters kept his plate filled with hot corn cakes, and equally cheerful little Jessie Peters poured hot coffee for him. "If we did get a hired nlrt, she never would mnkc corn cakes like this," he de clared, ns he debated whether ho had room for more. "Mother would fiet herself to death," laughed Jessie, whose Jet-black hair nnil soft-biown cje.s and wnrmlv tinted cheeks mado her n particularly pleasant, brenk-fast-table ornament "I guess ou're Just feeling rich this morning, father." "IM ought to," ho complncently re turned, with another glance nt tho pnper, "Two thousand dollars' worth of street railway stock I hold this morning will he three thousand dollars' worth tonight." "I declnre 1 don't see why," puzzled Mrs. Peters, sitting down to snatch n bite, now that everybody ele wns supplied. "I don't understand why you get more stock without more money Just when tho compuny's going to such it heavy expense In building now trnck." "It's the undivided surplus," he told her sigely. "Besides tho 7 per cent, dividends, the company has made two hundred nnd fifty thousand dollars profit. Would It bo fnlr to let new stockholders sharo In that?" "No," his wife admitted, still looking puzzled, nevertheless. "So we old stockholders divide It among us, In the shape of stock, before wo let them In, then we stnrt nil over again," ho told her. triumphing, as did hundreds ot other elate Henry Peterscs that morning. "That's line; but I don't sco it yet. Do you, Jessie?" and Mrs. Henry lurned to her daughtcd with contracted brows. "It's (-oino sort of n hlgh-lliinnco nr rangement," ictuined Jessie, picking up the paper. "I'm not quite suro that I un derstand It, but It says here, quite dis tinctly, that President Marley promises it shnre and a half of stock In tho .Increased company for every old share now held, nnd Mr. Marley knows just whnt he Is talking about." "Ho'h u wonderful business man," agreed her father with enthusiasm. "Fif teen years ago ho didn't have a cent moro than wo have, but look at him today," "And look at Molly Marley," supple mented Mrs. Peters. "Just tho same ugo as our Jessie, nnd has maids and silk dresses nnd live s-ets of furs, nnd dia monds, nnd everything sho wants." "I'm n poor business man, Cnnlo," and a truco of self-reproach came upon his usually complacent features. "Marley and Sledge, and all these shrewd busi ness men make their money make money." "We get along nice enough," his wlfo comforted him. "Wo hao this home nnd your stieot car stock nnd money in tho bank, and every cent of It's honest. That's more than Sledgo can say." "It doesn't seem to worry him much," laughed Jessie. "I was watching him at Molly's party the other night. He looked as happy and contented as If ho hadn't a thing on his conscience, and I don't Believe he has. "Dicky i'.-ijs he's a plain thief," con tinued Jessie, her faco Hushing slightly at tho rcmembranco of Dicky Beynolds, and somo of the remarks which thnt Jovial young gentleman hnd poured Into her pink car. (CONTINUED TOMOBBOW.) Children's Corner PANSY FACES DOWN under the tiny green leaves ot a pansy plant, two pansy faces were hidden, hidden so snugly and so safely that unless you had stopped and hunted for them you would never have guessed they wero there. But tho Southwlnd knew they were there oh, dear me, yes! For the South wind knows everything about lloucrs und the garden. And the sunbenms guessed where they were hiding nnd begged thorn to como out and smile. "Don't stay under those green leaves so shyly, tho sun beams coaxed, "como out und smllo for us pnnsles, dear; won't you, pleuse?" Tho tiny pansy faces tucked down under tho leuves couldn't think of answering; they were too shy. And anyway, who can talk with his face all squeezed up into n hard ffreen knot? Can jou? No! and neither could tho pansles! Instead ot answering, thoy raised their heads Just the tiniest trifle, ns much as to say to tho Inqulsltlvo sunbeams, "we can't very well answer such a question, but won't you please talk some moro?" That was quite as much encouragement as tho sunbeams needed and they talked on gaily to the modest pansy faces. "Oh, you should open your eyes and see tho beautiful world around you," they said, "the dirt and grlmo of winter la all washed away. Things are beautiful and green nnd springlike. AH that Is needed Is your smile please, pansy faces, won't you open your eyes und Bmlle at us?" And the pansy faces, tucked up so tight and green, spoke not a word. But they raised their shut faces over so little, ns much as to say: "You would like us to smile? But are there any other flowers smiling on this clean spring world you tell ua of?" "No other flowers," replied the sun beams, "nono other is as brave as you! And wo need you In this clean, spring, Howerless world; wo need you more than when all the flowers of tho spring havo begun to bloom. Won't you open your eyes nnd smllo nt us?" But tho pansy faces stayed shut ns tight asevcr. "I don't believe wo can persuade them all by ourselves," said the blgcgst sun beam. "I think wo need help." "Then let's ask tho raindrops to help VILLAGE QUEEN IP tin," said another sunbeam. So quick aa could be, tho sunbeams went up to the clouds and coaxed tho raindrops to como down nnd tatk to tho pansy faces. All day long the raindrops fell caressingly on tho tight-shut faces; but, though they raised their heads a bit higher, tho pan slcs wero as tight shut nt night ns ir tho motnlng. "I think you had bolter try ngnin," the raindrops reported to tho sunbeams, 'wo havo done our best, but tho faces aro still unopened." Bo again tho Minbcams came to earth! again they coaxed tho panolcs to wake up nnd sco tho world. And whnt do you suppose? At tho Very first word from the sunbeams, tho two pansy faces opened wldn nnd smiled their most beautiful pansy smllo nt tho delighted sunbenms! "Now It's spring for suro!" exclaimed tho sunbenms, "wo coax, tho raindrops help, nnd the panslcs smllo!" Copjrlonf, I9ie Clara Inoram JtirfJon.
