"Aiid cents." added I'eale.
"That's a remarkably good showing,"
admitted Mr. Martin." "Well, I'll give

Rodney took a good hold of himself.

"Wo wish to continue in our chosen

"Well, suppose you take 25 per cent

"It's wonderful weather, Isn't It."
said Rodney; "these crisp, cold, bracing
mornings?"
"Well. I hardly thought you'd grab
at that," said Martin. "What will you
take?"
Rodney rose to the occasion quickly.
" no hundred thousand dollars cash,"
he said; "you assume all the contracts
and obligations of this company, give

said.

"Ye.-:, father, we'd much rather hae

m!i. much rather," echoed I'eale.
This imix.rtant deal was no sooner
azree l on than Mi-s Ibirke came in in
opportunely and conveyed to Rodney
the information that the agent of the
1 1 milord wanted to see him at once.
"Yes." said Rodney. "You see, fa

We'll be right back, father."
"Ye. father, we'll be right back,"

to a contemptuous tone, "Kllery

they were probably pretty straight.
He was glad to have the boy back any
way. And there would be no more
sandwich men parades.
Altogether he was in a. quite mellow
mood when Mary Grayson opened the
Joor and came in. From the look on
her face she was glad to see him and
extraordinarily relieved too. Alas for
the soap king! He did not realize how
short his satisfaction was to Ik?.
"Why, Mr. Martin!" cried Mary hap
pily. "ilfcliu, Miss Grayson!" he said.
"It's mighty good to see you again."
"Oh, Mr. Martin," responded Mary,
"I'm so glad Rodney finally sent for
you!"
"ent for me?" repeated Mr. Martin
in surprise.
"Have you talked to him?"
"Oh. yes. lie's just gone out for a
minute to see the agent of the land
lord." '"Oh, then he told you about that
too?".
"Y'es, he told me. Why not?" asked
Mr. Martin, puzzled.
"Oh, I'm so g'.-id you've settled with
him. You have settled, haven't you?"
"Y'es; sure."
"Oh. good! Isn't it wonderful for
him?"
The relief in Mary's voice was gen
uine, absolutely, as Ambrose Peale
would have said. Poor Mary had had
a trying da;. There had been that
dreadful man Jones to begin with.
Rodney's $2,r0O check must have gone
through the clearing house in double
quick time, Mary had thought, as the
advertising dun appeared again. The
fact was, it seemed that he had gone
to the bank to get it certified and was
furious to tied that there were no
funds there of the 13 Soap company to
meet it with. He roared loudly about
the sheriff. Unless the check was
made good at his office in an hour he
would have the sheriff round and sell
them out, cover up their billboards and
send them all to jail.
Mary didn't know rauch about sher
iffs, and they sounded terrifying. She
had heard about the law's delay, but
the law sounded swift and terrible as
interpreted by the irate Jones. She
couldn't laugh about it and chaff about
a cell with a sunny exposure, as Am
brose I'eale did. That awful countess
too! A woman swindler who had tried
to get into them for -. And tii-.
electric agent threatening to turn ou
the light from all their beautiful signs
if he wasn't paid at once. How un
reasonable people were! How could
you pay them when you hadn't any
money? And now, last of all. the rent
agent making a fuss. No wonder
Mary had begged Rodney to send for
his father and give in. She was sure
old Mr. Martin would help Rodney if
he was sent for. Very naturally Mary
thought on seeing Cyrus Martin smok
ing his cigar there contentedly that he
had come in answer to Rodney's sum
mons. She went on, sighing:
"Just think, without you he couldn't
have lasted out the day."
"Couldn't what?" ejaculated the as
tonished soap king; then, recovering
himself swiftly, he added: "Quite so.
Quite so. Oh, by the way. in our ne
gotiations the one thing Rodney didn't
go into fully was the nature of. the
assets."
"The assets!" laughed Mary gayly.
"They must have amused you. Why.
we haven't any."
"Ha, ha! Haven't any?" echoed Mr.
Martin, trying to laugh with her.
"I'.ut everything's all right now,"
went on Mary sweetly.
"Oh. yes! Great, great!" said Mr.
Martin. "Iy the way, there was a re
port on the street today that the An
dover Soap people were going to make j
a deal with Rodney build him a fac-
lory
"Oh. there's nothing in that," said
Mary innocently.
"Are you sure? As I got here I
thought I saw Ellery Clark."
"Oh. that wasn't business He just
came to try to borrow some money
from Rodney. Wasn't that funny?"
"Oh, yes, very funny," said Martin;
then, changing his whole manner, he
added angrily:
"The young scoundrel!"
"What!" said Mary.
"Thank you. Miss Grayson, for telling
me." said Mr. Martin. "Do you know
what he tried to do to me? Hold me
up for ?100,i0), and but for you he'd
have succeeded."
"Oh. what have I done?" cried Mary
in distress.
"You've saved me a lot of money and
kept me from being a fool. That's
what you've done. Thank you. Good
morning."
"You mean at last he had succeeded
iu getting you to back him?" cried
Mary.
"At last! So that was his scheme
all the time, was it? He didn't go into
businos on the level, but just for my
benefit? And you were helping him.
Well, he can thank you again for hav
ing failed."
j"It'9 all my fault," cried Mary, break-

ing down. "
"Yes, it was from the start. You got
up the plan of my pretending to put
him out of the house a mighty silly
idea."
"Oil, but I tell you you must help
him," pleaded Mary.
"Help him yourself. You've got $o,

own son think he could make a fool

"Rut hi is a good business man,"
leaded Mary bravely. "He'd make

If you'll just help him he'll make mon
ey, you'll see he will."
"Of course, you want him to make
money," said Mr. Martin brutally.
"You're thinking of that percentage
contract with me."
"I'm not oh I'm not!" cried Mary.
"I can't see him fail. I don't want you
to pay me. I'll try to give you back
what ydu've given me."
"Uy George, I believe you really are
in love with him, Mary."
"Y'es, I am now," admitted Mary
proudly. "But that doesn't matter.
We've got to save him save his busi
ness." ,
"I won't give him a nickel. Good by!"
"But you can't go like this," Mary
cried. "He'll be disgraced. He's in
debt in danger."
"Ret him get out of it himself, then,"
said this Roman father. "It'll do him
good. . I've been a sentimental fool.
I've made it all too easy for him."
"But that's your fault, too," persisted
Mary.

way through. We'll let him face the
truth now. Y e'll see what lies made

just sat and looked at him
quite limply, letting her hands fall
idle in her lap. What could she do?
To make matters worse she could hear
the rumble of men's voices outside as
Rodney and I'eale tried to soothe the
rent agent's righteous indignation.
Rodney and Peale came back, trying
to look cheerful, but really quite crest
fallen, as Mary could see very well.
"Well, we're going to move," said
Rodney.
"Yes,
nice chap, that fellow," said
I'eale.
"Well. Mary, have you heard about
our deal?" asked Rodney next.
"The deal's off," Mr. Martin inter
rupted brusquely.
"Y'es, oil," repeated Mr. Martin
brusquely. "Because you took me for
a bigger fool than 1 am. My own son
can't do that to me. I've found out
now that you're broke."
"Oh, Mr. Martin!' protested Mary,
crying.
But Mr. Martin stopped her.
"And all the time you were lying to
me about the Andover Soap people and
the factory they were going to put up.
Y'oii thought you could make a fool of
me get the best of me. did you? Well,
you can't. I'm finished with you and
your 13 Soap. You're u smart Alec.
You're a complete fake."

"I guess you're right," said Rodney.
"Ah!" said Mr. Martin.
"I did try to be smart," Rodney said.
"I was stuck on myself. I thought
business was a cinch. But you're
right. I have been a fake. This whole
thing never seemed real. It was Just
fun like a game. But I've waked up,
and now it's serious. I tried to get the
best of you, but I'll take my licking.
I don't want any charity. I know
what's coming to me, and I'll take my
medicine."
His father looked him over curi
ously. "Well, maybe I've said a little too
much," he said, relenting a little.
"No; it's all true," said Rodney.
"But. see here, I don't want you dis
graced," said his father. "I"
"You told me never to come back to
you for a nickel," said Rodney brave
ly, "and I won't"
"Now, see here," began Martin.
"Please, father," Rodney went on.
"It's up to me, and nobody else, to get
out of this. Please go."
He held out his hand.
"Goodby, son," he said gently and
went out.
"Oh, Rodney, Rodney!" cried Mary
when the office door had closed on the
old man's back.

There are some people in this com

with the business of others when it
does not concern them in the least,
and according to our way of thinking
it is a very poor policy to follow. We

we can do to look after our own busi

in the least about the other fellow.
If he makes a mistake that's his busi
