"Seems he's alive and In business in
Chicago. The news excited me a bit,
old boy. I pictured George rushing in
here, and the word spreading that I
was not to be the Earl of Bay brook,
after all. I'm frightfully fond of Miss
Meyrick, and I want that wedding to
take place tomorrow. Then, too. there's
Jcphson. Understand me—Cynthia is
not marrying me for my title. I'd stake
my life on that. But there's the fa
ther and Aunt Mary—and considering
the number of times the old gentleman
has forbidden t#e wedding already"—
"You saw it was up to you, for
once."
"Exactly. So for my own sake—and
Jephson's—l boarded a train for Jack
sonville with the idea of meeting
George's train there and coming on
here with him. I was going to ask
George not to make himself known for
a couple of days. Then I proposed to
tell Cynthia, and Cynthia only, of his
existence. If she objected, all very
well —but I'm sure she wouldn't. And
I'm sure, too, that George would have
done what I asked —he always was n
bully chap. But—l missed him. These
confounded trains—always late. Ex
cept when you want them to be. I
dare say George is here by this time?"
"He is," Minot replied. "Came a few
hours after you left. And by the way,
I arranged a meeting for him with
Trimmer and his proposition. The
proposition fled into the night. It
seems he was the son of an old serv
ant of your father's—Jenkins by
RTfTC."
"Surely! Surely that was Jenkins!
I thought I'd seen the chap some
where—couldn't quite recall. Well, at
auy rate, he's out of the way. Now,
the thing to do Is to see good old
George at once"—
He went to the telephone and got
his brother's room.
"George!" A surprising note of af
fection crept into his lordship's voice.
"George, old boy, this is Allen. I'm
waiting for you in my rooms."
"Dear old chap," said his lordship,
turning away from the telephone.
"Twenty-three years since he has seen
one of his own flesh and blood! Twen
ty-three years of wandering in this
God forsaken efVufltry I —f bojrytWr par
don, Minot. I wonder what he'll say
to me. I wonder what George will say
after all those years."
Nervously Allan Harrowby walked
the floor. In a moment the door open
ed, and the tall, blond Chicago man
6tood In the doorway. His blue eyes
glowed. Without a word he came Into
the room nnd gripped the hand of Jiis
brother, then stood gazing as if he
Would never get enough.
And then George Harrowby spoke.
"Is that a ready made suit you have
on. Allan?" he said huskily.
"Why—why—yes, George."
"I thought so. It's a rotten bad fit,
Allan. A rotten bad fit."
Thus did George Harrowby greet the
first of his kin bo had seen in a quar
teer of a century. Thus did he give the
He to fiction and to Trimmer, writer of ,
"fancy seeing you aiter all these
years" speeches.
He dropped his younger brother's
hand and strode to the window. He
looked out. The courtyard of the De
la Pax was strangely misty even in
the morning sunlight. Then he turned,
amillng.
"I thought you'd come at me with
the title," said George"Harrowby, drop
ping into a chair. "Don't go, Mr.
Minot—no secrets here. you and
your wife must come out and see us.

THURSDAY EVENING,
all rrom down country way.
"You are Lord Harrowby, tbe next
Earl of Raybrook. Take the title, and
God bless you."
"Put. George," Allan objected, "legal
ly you can't"—
"Don't -worry, Allan," said the man ]
from Chicago, "there's nothing we j
can't do In America, and do legally. |
How's this? I've always been intend- j
lng to take out naturalization papers, j
I'll do it the minute I pet back to Chi- I
cago—and then the title Is yours. In j
the meantime, when you Introduce me 1
to your friends here, we'll Just pretend J
I've taken them out already."
Allan Harrowby got up and laid his
hand affectionately on his brother's j
shoulder.
"You're a brick, old boy," he said. !
"You always were. I'm glad you're
to be here for the wedding. Row did
you happen to come?"
"That's right—you don't know, do
you? I came in response to a telegram i
from Boyd's of New York."
"From—er—Boyd's?" asked Allan '■
blankly.
"Yes, Allan. That yacht you came I
| down here on didn't belong to Martin j
j Wall. It belonged to me. He made !
away with it from North river because j
he happened to need it. Wall's a
crook, my boy."
"The Lileth your ship! My ■word!" I
He explained briefly bow Wall bad
acquired Chain Lightning's collar and
returned a duplicate of paste in its |
place. The elder narrowby listened I
with serious face.
"It's no doubt the collar he was trail- i
ing you for, Allan." he said. "And ;
that's how he enme to need the yacht.!
But when finally he got his eager j
tigers on those dlnmonds, poor eld j
Wall must have had the shock of his
life."
"How's that?"
"It wasn't Wall •who had the dupli- i
cate made. It was—father—years ago, j
when I was still at home. He v^anted!
money to bet as usual—had the dupli- i
caie made—risked and lost."
"But," Allan objected, "ho gave it j
to me to give to Miss Meyrick. Surely
he wouldn't have done that"—
"How old is be now ? Eighty-two? I
Allan, the old boy must be a little I
childish by now—he forgot. I'm sure
he forgot. That's the only view to,
take of it."
A silence fell. In a moment the elder j
brother said:
"Allan, I want you to assure me j
again that you're marrying because:
you love the girl—and for no other j
reason."
"Straight, George," Allan answered, j
and looked his brother In the eye.
"Good kid. ' There's nothing In the j
other kind of marriage—all unhappl-j
ness—all wrong. I was sure you must j

be on the level—but, you see, after Mr.
Thacker, the lnsuruuce chap in New
York, knew who I was and • that I
wouldn't take the title, he told me
about that fool policy you took out."
"No? Did he?"
"All about it. Sort of knocked me
silly for a minute. But I remembered
the Harrowby streak—and If
you love the girl and really want to
marry her, I can't see any harm in the
idea. However, I hope you lose out
an the policy. Everything O. K.,now?
Nothing In the way?"
"Not a thing." Lord Harrowby re
plied. "Mlnot here has been a bully
help—worked like mad to put the wed
ding through. I owe everything to
him."

zSSgK 1,034 N Automatic /tfs§X!\ I
Aeleplione Subscribers p£oß©J
Are Awaiting the Installation of Their DIALS
WE'RE GOING AFTER 10,000 MORE
One thousand and thirty-four new Automatic Telephone Subscribers have already ordered Automatic Tele
phone Service!
One thousand and thirty-four people in Harrisburg and Steelton, convinced of the superiority of the Auto
matic Telephone Service even before the "Cut Over," have signed contracts to
"USE THE DIAL!"
So busy have we been with the engineering problems of cutting over the telephones already in service from the
out-of-date manual to the Automatic System, that it was impossible to install any of these 1,034 new telephones
before the "Cut Over."
But now that these problems are history and the Automatic System is running smoothly and giving our old
subscribers telephone service of a speed and accuracy such as they never before knew, we have begun the installa
tion of these 1,034 new stations.
Just as fast as our workmen can make the installations these telephones will be placed in service. ,
But like Perry of Lake Erie fame "We Have Just Begun to Fight!"
I 10,000 More Contracts Coming I
Ten thousand more new contracts are going to be procured so quickly it will take your breath!
All Central Pennsylvania already knows it need no longer put up with the inefficiency of the manual tele
phone system the tiresome waiting for the operator, the false "busy" reports, the "wrong number nuisance,"
the abomination of premature "disconnects."
i Soon All Harrisburg Will Be Using The Dial I
The same thing is bound to happen here that occurred in Youngstown, Ohio, where the Ohio State Telephone
Company increased its subscribers from 2,750 to 7,000 since January 29, 1916.
I WANTED—SO Salesmen ! WANTED—SO Linemen! 1 I
We want 50 live-wires to push this campaign for r „ ~ . . . „ .
the 10,000 new Dial users. If you are looking for a , We want oO more linemen to rush the mstallation
job with a future, join our forces to-day and start e new Automatic telephones waiting to be in
fringing home the bacon."' stalled. Good pay and steady work! Apply at once!
| Have YOU Used the Dial?
If you have yet the pleasure of using the telephone that goes straight through to the man you want, there's a
pleasant surprise awaiting you. Try out some friend's Automatic to-day.
Better still, Dial 2383, Automatic Sales Department, and a man will come to your home or office and show
you how it works!
And remember that not only is the service better, it is less costly!
Get in the swim to-day!
