'T< >SS wide seas of spact, from God's own bay, A Straight to the shores of earth it plowed its way. And came, full-rigged, to anchor in the night. Its sails lie clean against the morning light; And on the bridge old Captain Time is standing. Proud of the brave new craft he is commanding. My heart runs dockward. crying, "Ship ahoy! What cargo do you carry—pain or joy? Before the crew of Days shall come ashore. Bearing c;:ch one his portion of your store— Tell me what things are hidden in your hold?" There is no answer. Yet I do make bold To prophesy some things Time keeps for me In that great New Year ship. First there will be Keen Winter mornings, when the sun and frost Wage bloodless battle, with their daggers crossed. The wind will act as second for the sun. While trees stand steadfast for the other one. Ah! such rare sport! There will be Spring's return, When in old hearts young blood again will turn. And young buds deck old trees; while in the skies Vast dawns and sunsets startle and surprise A waking world to wonder. „ , There will come ttoses so beauteous they strike one dumb, (A perfect rose is beauty's final word!) While in their scent old memories are stirred Of other scenes and times. oi ■< • „ Then Autumn's brush ishall paint the earth before the final hush That means a dying year. Ah!

That's why I've been able to go along and run head over heels in debt. I owe tailor bills, boot bills, Jewelry bills, flower bills, res taurant bills. I've got a stack of bills in that room there that would make Rockefeller complain of the high cost, of living, and I can't pay 'them be cause I'm broke. Fiat. . . . broke! It's hard to believe, isn't it?" "Why, you always led me to believe that you were a millionaire?" "Not exactly that. But I did not deny the stories that, somehow, got to going round. Maybe I lied a little. At that, t ■would be worth a million by now if I'd had any business ability, with the bank roll 1 had to start with." "When I came here to New York and started to burn up Broadway, five years or ao ago. I wan worth two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. There was cash, real estate and my small in terest in the chewing gum factory. First thing I did was spend the cash, then I sold the real estate, then I ■sold my interest in the factory. "I had no use for anything but cash. "My Uncle Abner bought me out «nd cheated me. He paid me just a hundred thousand, a measly hundred thousand, for my share of the prop erty out of which he's since then made a dozen fortunes. I hear the gum trust offered him a million dollars for the plant and the good will last year." "Jones' Pepsin!" "Yes; Jones' Pepsin, made in Jtmesville. It's the oldest gum on the arsrket. Ever chew it?" "No." "Don't. It's awful. It's terrible stuff!" "Well, go on. What happened, th«-n?" "I could scarcely wait to get hold of that money and get out of that town. I wanted New York; ncthinjr but New York. I had heard about New York; I had read about New York; I'd been down here as a kid on visits. I talked New York. I dreamed New York. Why, from the tim" I wa3 a kid, in knicker bockers, to the time I left Jonesville, everybody called me 'Broadway.' That's where It began." "I thought It started here." "No! when I was a kid in Jones ■ville. That was my name—'Broadway* —just because I wore patent-leather shoes and put on a clean collar, now and then. That's the kind of a town it Is. 'Tye lived up to the name, I guess. II know every newsboy, policeman, ac tor, ohorus girl, wise agent, gambler Bind bartender on the street. I've been to bed just one night in five years be fore six o'clock in the morning and that »as when I had a toothache and feny face was swollen. It waß not the ipain that kept me In; it was the look* pf the puffed ffu:e.'* WEDNESDAY EVENING direction so that I may truly be a little sister to all the world. To continually reach out for fresh interest's In my life, so that if one fails me 1 shall not he left bankrupt of resources of happiness. To work always and to realize that ii is as much of a shame for a woman to he a parasite as it is for a man to he one. To let no human being go from my presence without giving hiin or her a happier thought and a brighter out look. To bear in mind continually that it Is just as Important to lay up affec tion for my old age as it >• to lay up money. To keep my heart sweet and young, {purged of the bitterness and the nar ; rowness of old age. and so to grow old gracefully and beautifully. ' He drew his Dream m slowly, almost wonderingly. "Oh, what I haven't done to Broadway!" he continued. "Well, you've seen me. You've been with me. You know." Wallace nodded. "I always thought you were pretty speedy, but I thought you could afford it. The trouble with you is you've been too liberal." "Liberal! Why, when I go into a restaurant the waiters come to blows to see who'll get me. In barber shops as I approach you'd think some one had just yelled Fire!' the way the bar bers dash far the chairs. Oh, I've been the bright-eyed baby boy around this town, all right. It's cost me a fortune —all I had." His voice trailed into silence; Wal lace sat looking at him dumb. "But I've had a. wonderful time!" said Broadway finally. "How long have you been broke?" ! "About six monthii. My credit's car ried me on. When I first went broke 1 made up my mind I wouldn't run in | dobt, no matter wha happened. I put | on an old suit of clothes that morning, ! and started out looking for a job." "What Mnd of a job?" I "Any kind of a Jcb. Messenger boy, i elevator boy—i didn't care! I promised J myself I'd earn my living without beg- I ging, borrowing or stealing.'' He told Wallace of his stealthy ; search for the elusive job which was j to have paid up Lis debts end started | him again, this time as a millionaire 1 in process of cons!ruction of new mil lions. J "I started looking for a 'boy-wanted' j sign. It sounds funny, but it is a fact, | My intentions were the hp:t 'n all the I world. But I got io thinking of some I thing else, after 1 had walked a block j or two, and where do you suppose I I was when I woke up? In Delmonico's, j eating breakfast! Turned in there out j of force of habit. , "I made a dozen attempts to do the I right thing. I cut out automobiles and i rode in street cars for three days; I ! went to an opening right at a theater j and sat in the gallery; I bought a pair | of ready-made shoes; I ate meals at a j forty-cent table d-hoi.e and smoked • five-cent cigars—prancing, just prac . ticing, trying to get used to it. "But I couldn't. Tliat was all —I slm ! ply couldn't! All my good resolutions went to smash every time I took a look at Broadway. I knew my credit was good; the things I wanted were there; I could ha v e them; so—well. I took them, that was all!" "And now'," said Wallace, who had sat, at first incredulous, and, later, spellbound, during the recital, "you are fifty thousand dollars in debt!" "I don't know the exact amount, but that's a fairly good guess." "You've been pretty quiet about it. It hasn't seemed to worry you much!" "Hasn't worried me?" Broadway's voice was bitter. "Well, I don't mind telling you that I have Just come out of the first sound sleep I've had in weeks. I'll bet I walked to Chicago and back every night the first month I was broke." '1 don't understand?" "I mean if you had measured up my carpet by the mile. I thought so much and worried so much that I didn't dare trust myself alone. I had the weird est ideas; I did the craziest things. Do you know that I belong to the Salva tion Army?" "What!" "On the level. I went to NewarS> and joined one night." "What was the idea?" '1 thought it might help me forget my troubles. I played the bass drum for two nights and couldn't stand It any longer. Br—have you ever been fn Newark?"

"That's bad enough. Gness what I suffered! I got off the train! Oh, you can't realize what I've been through. Bob! I've made a bluC and pretended to be happy all the time; but, believe me, old pal, there have been times when I've started for the Brooklyn bridge—and I won't tell you about a bottle of poison and a gun full of lead which I considered using. I didn't care about the money I'd spent; what wor ried me was that running in debt, day after day, with no chance of repay ing." "But you kept OD accepting credit." "And it was wrong—dead wrong! But—well, I guess it must be in my blood. I couldn't help It." "How about your uncle?" Broadway laughed, a cackling, scorn ful laugh. "He's a rich man. Have you tried him?" "Yes; tried him and found him guilty. I wrote and told him I was short of ready cash, after I had spent the pittance that he paid me for my interest in the Jones' gum. I asked him if he wouldn't lend me, say, ten thousand dollars." "Did he answer?" "Sure, he answered. Sent me a pack age of the gum and the advice: 'Chew this and forget your troubles." He's in Europe now. He's worth a million, if he's worth a nickel, and he bought me out for practically nothing!" "Stingy?" "Stingy? He's no mean that every time he's asked to have a drink he takes a cigar and then saves up the j HARRISBURG ftfijjflg TELEGRAPH | cigars, puts them in old boxes, and ' gives them away for Christmaa pres ents." "Where have you been getting 1 enough for tips and pocket money?" ' "I sold that big French car I said | was in dead storage. And do you re | member that I said I'd lost a lot of ' Jewelry? I hadn't. I had pawned it. How's my work, eh?" "You're a wonder! I've got to hand it to you. But why didn't you confide in me long ago?" "I didn't have enough courage to confide in anyone. I could only keep on hoping that some miracle would ' happen. I've thought of nothing ex cept money and how to get it. "And, Bob, last night, at that ban quet table, I sat looking at Mrs. Ge rard, thinking of her millions and won dering what she'd say to me if I should tell my story, trying to pluck up nerve enough to take her into my confidence and see If she wouldn't help. That's how it started. I didn't realize what 1 1 was doing; but I must have been staring at her for ten minutes when she called a waiter who, presently, handed me a note." j "What did it say? Was it from her?" Yes, and it said: 'Why do you stare at me so?'" "Did you answer It?" "Yes." "What did you say?" "Oh. I couldn't help it—l was des perate. I said 'Because I love you J'" "And she answered?" "Yes; 'I love you. too'" "And you wrote?" " 'Not as much us I love you.' We had quite a corrubpondence. Seven jor eight notes eacn way." 1 "Who sent the lest one?" I j "She did, and it said: Will yon, knarry meT*" "She really proposed to you?" "On the level, and I didn't say a thing. The letter carrier lost his Job right there. For fear she'd change her imind before the next mail arrived I leaned across the table and yelled: Tea!'" "I'd gone, you know. Exactly what then happened 7' Wallace asked. "She fainted; general excitement; smelling salts; she slowly came back to her senses. Then the usual speech: "Where am I?" That was my cue of course—although it hurt! Embrace, hiss, announcement to the dinner par ty; wild applause. Then somebody ordered 20 caseß of wine. "And the next thing I remember ia old Rankin calling me when you came here today. What do you think of all of it?" "It's terrible! You cant afford to let it go any further." "I can't afford to do anything, with. ! out signing a tab for it," said Broad- ' way ruefully. "You can do something. Haven't you any 'get up and go?'" "That seems to be all that is left for me—to 'get up and go'—as far as pos sible—unless I marry her." "If you'd go to work you'd have the makings of a business man." If I went to work I wouldn't have the makings of a cigarette." "How do you know? You haren't tried. I'll get you a job." I, "Where?" i (To Be Continued.] f JANUARY 14, 1914.
