0KB of them was a fnlr-complexloncd
man of middle age who waddled lllto
a duck. Ho had n. round face, round
brown eyes, round smile: not an angle,
nit curves and woll-upholstercd from his
fat legs to his plump well-manicured
hands.
His companion, heavy-framed with
i-hoe-button gray eyes, clean shaven ex-
cept for dark side whiskers and a long
drooping mustache. He had a scar over
his right eye, and exteriorly at least his
' nppenranee bespoke Latin-America.
Both men carried small handbags. The
one held by the big dark man was oddly
shaped, and had a tag of the Hotel
Seville, Havana. Cuba, pasted conspicu
ously on Its side. They had evidently
walked over from the Pcnnsy station In
West Philadelphia.
"Hero we are right at your doorstep,
Senor Velasquez," remarked the fat man
with a gesture of Impatience, denoting
unfinished huslness. They stood talking,
"Our minds' met some time ago. How
soon will our purses scrapo acquaintance?
It 'Is too big a proposition to let drag.
Then thoso other mnttcrs7"
"Bl, Senor Illrdscyc, caja particular, my
home for the present only," replied the
other, Ignoring tho dig about money for
tho moment. Ills grny eyes were unfath
omablc. Evidently he decided to parry off the
money thrust, for ho said:
"Have I not listened most attentively
In tho turner on tho magnificent train all
tho distance from your beautiful city of
Washington?"
"Yes! Hut I must have your definite an
swer. When I helped you preparo tho
blueprints of tho Iron works, textile mills
and shipyard, with tho Insldo figures of
the Montgomery properties, you said It
would take less than a month to got word
back from your partners In South Amer
ica. That was two months ngo."
An angry expression crossed the coun
tenance of Senor Velnsquoz. Ho con
trolled himself well. Ho said:
"I am over ready alrcvcrsc a cosnn
granites, what you clover North Ameri
cans say to undertake groat things, but
never alto dc dlnero, without money."
"But you did go Into speculations with
mo without money. I havo been a fool.
Como now, when will you hear?" Insisted
tho othor. "Everything seems to play Into
our ha ml 3. Since you have been away
they havo hod a bad explosion at tho Iron
works. Tho young heir will bo glad to lot
go when our tlmo comes.",
"An explosion, you say I do not under
stand." "Yes, and a bad ono; did $7o0,000 dam
age." "I am so sorry, my good Senor Birds
eye." "But It helps us. Can't you seo that?
Now, when will you hear from your peo-
Jplo about that J20.OO0.00O we need to swing
tho deal, and how about your end of our
formation that tho European war would
Joint speculations In Wall street? Wo are
short thousands of shares In a rising mar
ket. Business Is business, and I want to
know now."
"Soon wo shall have good news, my
very good friend. Then wo havo plenty
money. Twice I have written, and once
I have cabled. I suspect "
Senor Velasquez lowered his gruff voice
to a whisper: "I suspect the whole agree
ment signed and ready for you as well
as my drafts wero on the steamship Van
Dyck, which was captured by the Ger
mans. Pudenda Soon wo hear ngaln
from my partners In Bio Janeiro. I am
favorable to the plan, for Is It not mine
as well as yours" Is that not enough,
Senor?"
"Time Is money with me, Velasquez,"
flald the fat man, his face filling with an
Unmistakable terror. "I am no coward
when It comes to risking my own money.
I am used to swinging big enterprises,
but you havo done me In our side specu
lation. It was your supposedly Ineldo fil

now I havo been selling short a full line

I nm up against It. No -man wants to go

Thursday or mind you, don't write to

Not a day later."
"Mo alegro, Senor, very glnd you can
wait until then. I wilt surely hear before
Thursday. Bucnas noches, Senor Birds
eye." Ho cut short furthor conversation with
a low ceremonious bow, and lifting his
high hat after tho fashion of Spain, ab
ruptly scrowed round on his heel. His
rapid advance towards tho front door
must havo been observed by some ono
within tho house, for It was thrown back
by an extremely good-looking mulatto
mnld. Senor Velasquez entered. Tho door
slammed.
Although It was a rasping cold night,
Lomucl Blrdseye, left alono on the sltlo
walk, mopped a. perspiring brow with an
expanslvo pocket handkerchief. Ho then
waddled to tho corner and took a down
town trolley car.
He was a very poor sort of a support-
CHAPTER XVIII
An Unnatural Father
IT is astounding tho liberties a teller
seems to tahoi first to follow hard upon
the heels of the horo for a few chapters,
scratching down that principal person

Invincible resolutions and Infinite hopes,
as wctl as his prodigious deeds; then to
suddenly wander up strnr ',e by-pnths,
sown with tiew characters, and to relate.
wmi minuteness, tho most Intimate of
private conversations. No wonder the
long-suffering reader occasionally chokes
with choleric disbelief, for how could any
teller, save ono with supernatural powers,
an astral body and nlt-scclng eyes know
so much.
We gladly lift the veil and bare to the
scoffers tho mechanics of telling. All
histories are written after tho facts when
the actors havo played their parts, and
tho final curtain has been rung down,
nefore writing tho review the teller has
seen the complete human drama. Events
nre arranged and set down In their proper
scquenco from copious notes. When this
arrangement Is deftly made, then thelitis-
tory Is good reading; poorly done, It Is
uttor trash, and, kind render, lilnnio no
body but tho teller, and register a trust
that ho will do better next tlmo or find
another avocation.
Now, had Senor Enrique Velasquez re
mained wholly silent about his sidewalk
conversation with Lemuel Blrdseye. tho
unfaithful oxccutlvo of the John Mont
gomery cstnto, tho startling revelations
of tho preceding chapter would never
havo been made. Instead, tho mysterious

Instant ho entered tho drawing room of
his West Philadelphia house.
Curiously enough, once ho wns within

"It's nil right now let the Yankee

quez, In French, tho pollto language of

gllnty grny eyes.

FARMER SMITH'S
RAINBOW CLUB
THE QUESTION OF CLOTHES
At this season of the year there is more conversation about what we
hould wear and what we should not wear than at any other time of the year.
And why not?
The birds nre building new houses nnd getting ready for their little
ones, and the flowers are beginning to bloom, and there is no reason why wo
should not "blossom out" in -"omething new.
Did you ever stop to think about this question of clothes? They were
originally worn for the purpose of adornment. It is right and proper that
we should look our best, becauso it shows that we are careful of our ap
pearance. The principal point about a boy's clothes-are tho pockets and there nre
sometimes as many as 16 and they are not enough, especially in the summer
time, when one hns to carry bait and lunches and a few more things. On
the other hand, girls carry all their contraptions in little (or big) hand
bags, which nre far more interesting than the contents of boys' pockets
don't YOU think so?
Everything about a boy's raiment is necessary except his necktie. Even
his collar, linen or whatnot, is necessary, for that keeps his coqt collar from
rubbing his dear neck. But his necktie! No one has ever found out just
what that imitation of a clothes line is for.
It is well to remember that a clean and nent suit is more acceptable
than an expensive suit which is covered with spots.
Be sure to take care of your clothes and see that they are hung up
nicely at night so that they may AIR, and be careful of your shoes and put
them side by side under the bed so they will not get lonesome.
Above all, wear what i3 becoming to you, forN colors have a lot to dj
with the world around us and they are ALL IN THE RAINBOW.

FARMER SMITH'S DUCK HOOK
Dottie Duck's Bath
"Mother, dear, why Is It you are al
ways so good and kind to mo when you
put mo to bed?" asked Dottlo Duck ono
night.
"I try to bo good nnd kind to you al
ways." answered tho mother, "but Just be
foro you go to Dreamland, I want you to
havo thoughts of love and kindness."
"Oh!" said Dottle. Thmi sho added:
"Mother, dear, my feet are cold. Would
you mind getting mo the hot-water bug?"
"Not at nil, my dear," replied her
mother.
Soon Mother Duck returned with the
hot-water bag and put it nt Dottle's feet.
"Thank you ever so much," whispered
Dottle. "Now, there Is one thing I was
going to ask you: "Isn't 'Dottlo Dump
ling Duck' much prettier than 'Dottlo
Duck?' "
Mrs. Duck laughed as she replied,
"Very well. If you want to chango It. I
will gladly call you 'Dottlo Dumpling
"", uiny no not cnan?o it too often
laco could not conceal the pallor of her
cheeks, or tho hollows tinder her great
black eyes.
She murmured: "Whenever Is It nil
going to end? 1 am sick of It sick to
death of It. 1 cannot go on much longer."
The man shrugged his shoulders, Im
patiently. "Whero Is Murger?" he growled, sav
agely. She answered, angrily: "Don't nsk me.
Ho left several hours ago to enrry the
messages to the men you hire to blow up
mills, yet dare not fare."
Ills lips twitched: "Hero I nm almost
nt the zenith of my nmbltlon-a mnn of
monns-ntid my own child turns ngalnst
her father. For every share of stock tho
Yankee Blrdseyo sold In tho market I
havo bought nn equal nmotr.t. I nm
rich. Wo slmll llvo In Monto Carlo, Calls
had. Cairo, nnywhero fancy lakes us."
She answered, wlieiy: "Blcht And nt
what a price. I tell you I'm dono with
this drendful business. For yearn you
havo forced mo to do ns you willed;
a luro for men you would crush. But
you havo gono too far. I desplso you.
Whnt has this hoy MontJ Crlspcn dono to
you? Ho saved you from arrest that
night on tho roof. You plot his ruin in
return. Iflch! It hns been so ever since
I wns old enough to wear nn evening
gown, nnd play decoy In your gnmo of
Intrigue."
"Bo silent Zedn!" he roared, In anger,
"you aro silly, like nil women I I tell you
I will not bo crossed. You aro my child
nnd must act as I say. I never wanted
you; I wanted a malo offspring, to be
come a man, with red blood In his veins
nnd n hcadful of brains, ono to obey
gladly tho orders of n. parent nnd supremo
innstcr."
Sho sneered: "You serve only yourself.
It wns over so, as far back ns I can re
member. You nro paid to do work that
thoso who pay you would not stoop to
do. You havo no country. You nro a
mercenary, a hireling. You nro mon
strously wicked. Any sldo Is your side,
If you nro well paid.
Ho snld, "I warn you to be more care
ful what you say."
Sho rose, tragically: "What! Am I noth
ing but your chattel In this great frco
country, where In many States women
vote nnd speak out their thoughts?"
Ho walked across the floor nnd raised a
portlcro and scanned tho recesses of a
small adjoining room, ns If to seo If there
wero eyewitnesses about. In his rngo tho
mustache ho woro had fallen from his
face, revealing thlc . red lips. Ills np
pcaranco wns almost comical under tho
partial crumbling of his disguise.
"Curso you, Zcdn: this is -;o time to
rebel," ho bellowed.
Sho cried: "Thank God I nm not afraid
of you. I warn you now. Tnl.o care! I
havo a tongue that can spc: ;; It haa been
silent long." ,
Ho would havo taken anything clso but
a threat to betray him. J'o hoarsely
mumbled: "You dnro not."
Sho persisted: "Wo will seo."
Then ho seized her roughly by her round
whlto shoulders nnd shook her ns he
would have shaken a curtnln. Still sho
continued, struggling in his grasp: "I
shall speak."
Pushing her off to nrms-loncth ho
struck her, ns If sho had been a man.
She tottered, and ho rained blow after
blow upon her head and shoulders. She
groaned. Bruised and bleeding sho sank
to the floor, whero sho lay quite still, a
crumpled mass of pink nnd white.

AID JEFFERSON HOSPITAL
BY llUYIN'O "CAST-OFFS"
Sale of Hundreds of Articles Begins
Today
The lure of beautiful gowns, many of
which adorned Social leaders at the most
exclusive functions, attracted hundreds of
women to the rummage sale which opened
today In the Wldencr Building. In the
sale, which Is being conducted for the
benefit of l he Jefferson Hospital by a num
ber of prominent society women, are
hundreds nnd hundreds of bargains, with
which the greatest cut-rate store could not
hopo to compete.
And everything that goes with milady's
outfit went almost for a pittance. Wonder
ful hats from Paris almost loo pretty to
he described, shoes of all hues, dainty col
lars nnd filmy creations so diaphanous
they would seem to disappear almost
Under one's very touch, were among tho
most popular attractions.
It Is llttlo wonder that a throng of
women, yes nnd men loo. stormed this
citadel of bargains when the doors were
opened shortly before noon. Wives who
never before had opportunity to wenr nn
evening gown stood In line patiently for
hours. And the very fact that a cherished
ambition was about to bo realized gave
them strength to stand Iho ordeal.
Of course there was pushing nnd shov
ing by the restless, and several big re
serves were at their wits' ends to calm
the bargain hunters. The prcssuro be
came so great shortly before the doors
opened that the plate glass In tho door
cracked under the strain.
Tho buyers were greeted cordially
when they piled Into the big salesroom by
the society "shop girls," who did nil In
their power to satisfy every customer.
Uut the bargains wero not onlv con
fined to wearing npnrcl. There were
pretty household things, flowers, phono
graphs and numerous odds nnd ends which
find n place In the perfect home and all
wero within reach of thoso of slim
purses.
When two women reached for n bargain
at the same time, the saleswoman acted
as peacemaker, and In nearly every enso
brought nbout harmony through smiles
and diplomacy.

Goodyear is the favored tire with
the great majority of tire buyers.
The basis of this emphatic prefer
ence cannot be price; for many
brands sell for less than Goodyear.
It is Goodyear quality and Goodyear
features of construction which
make Goodyear Tires go farther,
last longer, and so cost you less in
the end.
