He is several years her senior, but

He has given the girl a ring, and de

Meantime, ho asks her to consider

to show her confidence in him by giv

Ho assures her that her refusal Is a

He hung up the .receiver and turned
back to Jackson. That youth looked
at him in somewhat helpless curiosity.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to show Pembroke we'ra
not bluffing. I'm going back tomor
row, and, as a starter, I'm going to bill
New York till you can't see the city
through the advertisements of Jones'
Pepsin Gum."
"Where's all the money coming
from?" said Jackson dubiously. "What
are you going to do? Ruin me?"
"I'll draw the contract," Wallace an
swered. "I'll give you a year to pay
for it. You'll be the best advertised
article in America a month from
now."
"But, great Scott! I can't afford to
take a chance like that! I don't know
anything about this chewing-gum busi
ness."
"Say," said Wallace in derision, "will
you give me all you make over a mil
lion in the next two years if I give
you the advertising free?"
"Over a million? I should say I
will!"
Wallace became serious and then
broke into smiles. "Shake hands with
your partner then. This will be the
quickest, sofLest and first important
money I ever made."
"Do you mem it?"
"You bet I moan it."
"Are you sure you mean it?"
"You bet I'm sure."
"Bob," said Broadway with real feel
ing, 'this is the happiest moment of
my life!"
At that instant Sam came in. "Mis—
sis Ger —rard —to see Mis —ter—
Jones!" he cried.
Thus Broadway's happiest moment
came to a sudden, tragic end. In the
mad whirl of recent hours he had for
gotten Mrs. Gerard —his little ray of
sunshine, sweetheart, dearie!
With a quick glance at Josie he al
most collapsed.
"Tell her to wait," said Wallace, the
quick-witted.
"The —gentleman—wants—to— see
—you—first," said Sam.
"Gentleman? What gentleman?"
"Mis—ter Ran—kin."
"Rankin!" cried Broadway with a
ray of hope. "Send the gentleman
right In, and tell the lady to wait"
Sam went away with these Instruc
tions.
"Mrs. Gerard! Where did she come
from! How did she know I was here?"
said the unhappy youth.
Rankin came in respectfully, cat
footed, gravely beaming, the ideal but
ler. "Mrs. Gerard's here, sir."

SATURDAY EVENING,
Copyright, 1913, by Star Company,
people regard the matter from his
standpoint, and that her conduct is
prudish and silly.
All over the world such men are to
be found.
It Is their method of testing the
weaker sex.
In many small country towns, where
American girls are unchaperoned and
unprotected by foolish parents, and al
lowed to go about freely with their ad
mirers, a Liotharlo of this order is not
infrequently able to engage several
trusting girls at one time, under strict
vows of secrecy and 011 the plea that
financial or family circumstances are
such that marriage is out of the ques
tion for years to come.
This type of man almost invariably
demands the full confidence and proof
of "love and trust," as he terms It,
of each of his secret fiancees.
And, as a rule, he never marries any
one of them.
Ho disappears from the town after
a time and establishes himself in pas
tures new.
The Rev. Richeson was a man of
this type, but he paid for his amuse
ment In the electric chair.
It seems a sad commentary on the
mothers of the land that any girl
could grow to a marriageable age and
not know the truths of life and the
facts of the relations of the sexes suf
ficiently to warn her from listening to
men of this type. No girl whose
mother talks to her familiarly, sweetly,
tenderly and purely on these themes
could believe such a man was honest
or to be trusted.
She would know from the moment
l Know," feu..- ..n,uunay hopelessly.
'Where did she come from?"
"She didn't say. Got to the hotel
about five minutes ago, and demanded
to be shown to you. I couldn't help
It, sir."
"What am 1 going to do? We've got
to get her away from here! We've got
to get her out of town!"
"I'll get rid of her some way," Wal
lace offered comfortingly. "Go on;
take It on the run."
"You bet I will!" said Jackson, and,
without more ado, grasped his cane
and hat and sprinted for the factory
exit. He almost collided at the door
with Josie, who was entering just then
with papers from an outer file.
"Why, where are you going, Mr.
Jones?"
"Any place. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to dinner."
He grabbed her arm, to her amaze
ment. "Come on; I'll go with you.
Let's go out this way. I love to walk
—er —through the works."
"All right," said Wallace to the fat
boy as soon as they were out of sight,
"show the lady in."
"Shall I go, sir?" inquired Rankin.
"Stay where you are."
Mrs. Geraru came In most hurried
ly. Indeed, her gait was almost that
of an elderly lady wonderfully well
preserved, who was very, very anxious
about something which she valued
highly and was willing to run hard to
catch.
"Why, Mrs. Gerard," said Wallace
heartily. "What arc you doing here?
Ah, I know! You're looking for Jack- :
son. Too bad! He's started for the
station. He's going to make that elev
en-forty for New York. I think you '
can catch him if you hurry." \ '
She had scarcely straightened from '
the stoop which had been imparted by ,
her hurry as she entered. Now she
much intensified it, and without a
word dashed out.
"But you'll have to run all the way,"
cried Wallace after her.
Then he turned hurriedly to Rankin.
"Listen! You follow her to the depot
and get her on that train if you have
to bind and gag her! Don't leave her
until you see her safely landed in New
York. You understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, go oh."
As he turned back from intent ob
servation of the man-servant's depar
ture, the noise of a new outburst of
cheering reached him from the works,
coming through the door the Judge had
opened as he entered.
"What, again? What are they cheer
ing about now?"
| "Broadway," said the judge, "is mak
ling another speech. He stopped in the
'works instead of going through."
"Maklnp another speech!"
They opened the door wide and, ]
wafted on the gentle breeze, ther«
came to them in Broadway's best and
most effective tones:
"Why, think of what I'd be selling!
The thing my grandfather worked for
and handed down to my father; the
thing my father worked for and hand
ed down to me; the thing that I should
work for and hand down to my chil
dren, aiul BO on, and so on, and so on."
CHAPTER XIII.
It was not until the excitement was
all oyer at the factory, until the cheer
ing had died down and Ihe whole place
lie made such proposal to her that he
was unworthy of her confidence, and
that he would in all probability desert
her as soon as he had gained the favors
lie sought.
The sexual fascination is a powerful
one, but that ulone never kept a man
and a woman happy comrades and con
stant lovers for life.
There must be other attractions;
other interests; other ties.
Most important of all, there must bo
mutual respect and absolute confidence.
There must be a strong and beauti
ful foundation of friendship In every
marriage which proves happy and last
ingly sympathetic.
About this foundation passion flowers
will prrow and twine: but when Aut
umn winds blow, and frosts come, and
the vines perish, the strong, beautiful
foundation remains.
This man is seeking to twine vines
and flowers about the fragile trellis of
youth, and the first wind will oast It
all to earth and there will be nothing
left.
And the vines he seeks to train about
this trellis are poison ivy.
Let the girl beware of such a lover.
He is not her friend. He is her worst
enemy. He does not love her. He loves
only his own appetites and passions.
The man who really loves a girl guards
her, not only from all men, but from
himself.
He does not despoil what is his own.
He does not strip the flowers from his
own beautiful plants.
Better die of loneliness and sorrow
than to yield to such a selfish and un
worthy lover.
haa begun to buzz with industry for
the long afternoon of happier labor
than It had known of late years, that
Wallace thought of iunch. He was not
usually one to forget eating. It rather
startled him.
"Broadway," he remarked, aston
ished, "do you know we haven't fed?"
"Do business men?"
"That doesn't make good sense. 'Do
business men?' We've just done one
business man. Pembroke has gone
back to New York with his disposition
in a sling. But what did you think
you -were expressing when you said:
'Do business men?"'
"I thought I was inquiring if busi
ness men took lunch. If they don't, I'll
not. lam a business man."
"You bet they do."
"If it's a commercial practice I'll Join
you. I'm hungry enough to eat on
Sixth avenue."
"No such luck," said Wallace.
"We've got to eat down at the Grand."
Broadway almost paled. "Excuse me,
but I've lost my appetite, come to
think about it."
"I know; but we've simply got to
eat."
They tried the first part of the
luncheon, and it was just after they
had tried it that Broadway, desperate
ly worrying about the future, was smit
ten by a happy thought.
"Why live at the Grand?" he asked.
"You can't," said Wallace. "It's not
living."
"Why anything at the Grand when
I'm the owner of a house with 14
rooms, three baths, a root cellar and a
phonograph?"
Wallace looked at him with an en
thusiastic light enkindling in his eyes.
"Shall you take boarders?"
"I shall take a boarder."
"Me?"
"You."
"When?"
"This afternoon."
"Would you be angry if I threw my
arms around your neck and told you
how extremely fond I am of you?"
"You may throw your arms around
the room, for all I care, if you'll keep
quiet while I telephone."
It was Mrs. Spotswood whom he
called upon the wire, and gladly, nay,
delightedly, she promised to take
charge of the engrossing task of get
ting the Jones homestead ready for its
future master.
"When shall I be able to move in?"
he asked.
"If Mrs. Robinson's as good a house
keeper as she has always been, you
could move in today."
Within an hour she called him up
and told him that Mrs. Robinson was
just as good a housekeeper as ever,
that the rooms had all been aired, that
he had been expected hourly.
"Can we have dinner there tonight?"
"Why not?"
"You mean it?"
"Of course."
"Will you, the judge and Clara dine
with me?"
"Well, I should say so."
"Tell Mrs. Robinson that I'll be early
enough to tell her how extremely fond
I am of her before we start to eat.
And I'll bring Bob and —er —Miss
Richards."
Mrs. Spotswood laughed. "And
who?"
"Miss—er—Miss Richards."
"You mean Josie?"

the apron launders well and easily. Per

Most Widows Are Left
Destitute, Says Clark
President Ernest J. Clark, of the
National Association of Life Insurance j
Underwriters, was guest of honor last
evening at a banquet of the Harris
burg Association of Life Underwriters.
The speaker complimented the local
organization for its splendid develop
ment and good work.
President Clark talked Interestingly
on the development of the Harrisburg
Association in particular, the growth
of the insurance business in general,
and concluded by handing out some
good advice to workmen of all kinds.
He touched upon the large number of
widows and children in the county and
the significance of this fact, in an in
surance way. In conclusion he said:
"Think of the millions of fatherless
and orphaned children whose intel
lectual, moral and physical natures,
have been dwarfed through poverty,
in consequence of the death of a father
who had neglected, through procras
tination or indifference or ignorance
(they all amount to the same thing)
to make provision for them against bis
death."
Following Mr. Clark's address half
a dozen new members were elected to
the Harrisburg association.
