'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! Captain Time
■\ on cennot cheat me of these gifts sublime '
<And countless others that I have not told).
Whatever else you bring me—or withhold.

"Well, that's what they all thought
and still think. 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*

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

"I've been through there on the
train."
"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?"
