i CHAPTER XI I Continued.
"Wo'ro Just waiting for Pembroke,"
fluid Wallaco.
"Pembroke! Oh, yes; uomo of tho
men told mo thnt he la In town.
What's he coming hero for?"
"To try to givo us a wholo lot of
money," Wollaco answered. "But we'ro
not going to take it' Ho grinned up
at Broadway. "Wo don't need It, do
wo?"
Jackson looked at him with mourn
ful eyes, recollecting all tho bills ho
had left behind in Now York city.
"Don't mako mo laugh. I didn't sleep
well."
Tho Judga saw his young friend's
Increasing discomfort. "You've mado
tho pooplo of this lown very happy to
day, my boy. You ought to sleep well
after this. They owe you a great
lobt"
Jackson passed tho compliment, but
winced. "Please don't talk about debts!
Lot's got, on a cheerful subject." With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wollaco. ''How's tho bar
ber?" Tho Judgo seized this opportunity
to extol a local genius. "Ain't ha a
nlco fellow, though?"
"Yes," said Wallaco dryly, "ho cut
Tart's hair onco."
"I shouldn't bo surprise," tho Judgo
assented heartily, "Ho's from Hart
ford." Ills remarkable appreciation of the
dignity and glories of tho HtUa citioB

who smiled across his nodding head at
ono another.
Wallaco looked around appreciative
ly. "The old gentleman had pretty
nice offlceB hero."
"Yes," tho Judgo agreed. lie nod
ded toward tho desk at which Broad
way had carelessly token his position.
"Seems strange not to boo him sit
ting at that desk." He sighed. "First
old Oscar Jones sat there, and ho
died; then John sat there, and ho died;
then Andrew sat thero, and ho died;
now "
Broadway, who had listened to tho
brief but tragical recital with expand
ing orbs, got up, and, as ho edged
away from tho too fatal pieco of offlco
tunuturo, eyed it with suspicion and
distaato. "That's tho last tlmo I'll sit
there," ho declared.
But Judgo Spotswood had not saen
the byplay and did not bear tho youth's
resolve. Ho was launched on reminis
cence. "Every man In the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty bad. Just think ho was allvo
72 hours ago, and now tho wholo
town's In mourning!"
It was at this Juncture that Hlgglns,
a new and happy Hlgglns, entered,
cap In hand, respectfully. Ho was
amlllng genially. "Excuse mo, Mr.
Jones, tho men want to know If you
have any objection to their celebrate

Ho bowed respectfully to Joslo, who
entered at that moment.
"They're thinking of having a torch.

Tho Judgo beamed happily. What

than thiB speech from Hlgglns, erst
whllo tho dissatisfied, tho complalncr?
"That's u bully Idea!" ho exclaimed
enthusiastically.
Wallaco and Jackson looked at ono
another in a pleased appreciation. It
was Joslo who Instinctively saw tho
flaw which had escaped tho hordo of
workmen In the shops and which now
escaped tho four thoro In tho offlco.
"Why, Judgo!" said she, shocked and
scandalized.
"What's tho matter?"
But Joslo would not even look at
him. In a reproachful voico sho turn

Now a light burst, evon upon Hlg

Wallaco was still puzzled, but Broad

"By George," said the Judgo, "I for
got all about it myself! "
A bright light bursting upon Wal
laco, ho went to Jones and slapped
him on tho back. "The king is dead,"
ho quoted, "long live tho king!"
Jackson winced. Ho reflected that
this showed tho gratltudo, tho cherish

Joslo had looked up tho con-capon-.donco

Ho looked at thom, frowned, shook
his head and bit his Up, very much
astonished, very much annoyed. "It's

to admit But beforo ho had a chance
to read tho letters, Bam camo In,

Wallaco smiled. "Judgo," ho said,

"Not yet"
"Well, watch tho Hltla professor,

way. Then, to tho man of whom ho
had been speaking: "Sit at that desk
and look business-like."
"In that chair?" asked Broadway
with determination. "Not after what
ho said! 'And then ho sat thero, and
ho died.' No, I'll dlo standing up."
"Shall I go?" asked Joslo.
"No; ploaao don't" ,
Then Pembroko entered, trailed by

"How do you do, Mr. Pombroke,"
said Broadway with what ho conceiv
ed to bo great dignity,
"Mr. Jones," said Pembroko, bowing
formally.
Broadway waved him to tho fatal
chair. "Sit right down hero," "ho
urged.
"No, thank you," Pembroko coun
tered. "Ho's on!" Broadway whlsporod to
Wallaco.
Gravely Pembroke bowed to all tho
others of tho party, murmuring, as ho
did so, their names. But as ho bowed
to Wallace he said "Wilson."
"'Wilson?'" said tho Judgo and
Joslo in astonishment and concert
Bob winked at them. "Yes; that's
right," ho hissed. That's my namo."
Thlo over, Pembroke turned to his
stenographer,, who had found a seat
upon an offlco stool. "Tako tho en
tire conversation, John," ho directed.
This teazed Broadway for an In-

youth whom ho had scon about tho
omco fiequontly, and asked Joslo:
"Stenographer, is ho?"
Sho nodded.
"What'B his name?" asked Broad
way, in a whisper.
"Henry."
Broadway was content With a
grand ar and sovornl protrusions of
tho neck, he ordored: "Tako tho entlro
conversation, Henry." Outdono by
anyone like Pembroko! Ho thought
not!
"Aro wo to talk In tho presence of
all hero?" asked Pembroko calmly,
coldly, disapprovingly. Ho was very
cautious.
"I'm satisfied, If you aro," Broadway
answorod. "Sit down, Judgo."
"Very woll, Mr. Jones," said Pem
broko gravely. "Mr, Jones, I am not in
tho habit of doing business through
hirelings." Ho cast a scornful glanco
at Wallaco, who smiled sweetly In re
turn. "Your Mr. Wilson, your secre
tary as ho represents himself to bo,
and whose lmpertlnanco, by tho way,
is beyond description, has had tho
audacity to state that I should have
to do business through him or not at
all."
"Thoso wero my Instructions," Jack
son answered, never wavering.
"I should llko to understand tho
reason for lo unusual an arrange
ment" "Well," said Jackson, "you want to
buy something that I own. Ho's the
salesman, that'B all." He paused,
wondering at his own great brilliance.
"John Wanamaker owns a storo, but
ho doesn't wait on tho customers,
does ho?"
This was unanswerable. It dum
founded Pombroko; It delighted all
tho other bearers, saving only tho two
secretaries, who wero bent abovo their
toskB with nervous diligence.
Broadway himself laughed outright.
"How was that?" ho asked Wallace
In a whisper.
"You'ro Immense, on tho square,"
said Wallaco, with Intense apprecia
tion. Pembroko was not thus Impressed.
He was offended. Ho was evidently
ready for offence from any quarter.
"You aro flippant, sir," ho said with a
gravo Bcorn. "You gavo mo your word
that tho deal would be consummated
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Tho price was settled and agreed upon
by both of us."
Jackson out in Bllonco, regarding
him with an innocent, unwavorlng at
tention which very greatly disconcert
ed him.
"I returned by appointment to your
Now York apartment with my law
yers and papers ready to sign, and
upon Inquiring from an Insolent butler
as to your whereabouts I received tho
Information that you wero on your
way to Egypt."
"Good old Rankin!" muttered Broad
way, and decided, then and thero, to
ralso his butler's wages onco more.
"Ho said tho only word that you had
left for mo was a profanco request
that I go to or woll, wo'll not re
peat it"
"I'll mako that raUo a twenty, not
a ton," Broadway reflected.
"Believing you to bo a man of in
tegrity," Pombroko wont on, "unfor
tunately for mo I had no witnooses
present at our closing of tho bargain."
Broadway continued to emtio ex
pansively. "Still," said Pembroko, "I ask you,
"We're Not Going to Sell.

We're Go-
as man to man, Is your word worth
less?" Broadway looked at him with an
intensity of gnzo which requirod throo
stretchings of tho nock to bring about
"When rro doing business with un
scrupulous poople, yes," ho answered.
Pombroko, shuddering, turned to his
stenographer. "Havo you got that
John?" And John nodded.
"Got that, Honry?" Broadway de
manded of his man. And Honry nod
ded. Then Broadway walked tho floor,
keeping tho astonished Pombroko fix
ed with a glittering eyo. That care
ful, able, very modem business per
son was rather notably surprised by
tho young man. Somehow ho seemed
to havo developed slnco tho hour, so
hands aro nearly equal In strength and
their attention Is keen and well sus

feet but tho valuo of a typist depends
rather upon a combination of good
points than upon a great superiority In
one particular.
Men exhibit greater uniformity than
women, but tho difference between
good and poor typists are, neverthe
less, well marked. In general, men
surpass womon In rapidity of auditory
action and consequently in speed of
work, but aro inforlor to women, per

short a tlmo beforo, when first ho had
encountered him in Now York city.
"When I fell for your rush football
business methods yesterday nnd
agreed to sell," said Broadway, his
voico aBsumIng an extraordinary Bing
song, to his friends unusual, to him
solf astonishing, to Pembroko discon
certing, and, In later years, a cele
brated thing, "I wasn't awaro of tho
low, contomptlblo tricks to which your
company had stooped in order to put
my poor old undo out of business."
His voico thrilled with feeling when
ho used thoso touching words "my
poor old undo." Ills "poor old undo"
would havo been emphatically sur
prised had ho been thoro to hear that
thrill.
"I didn't k-n-o-w It was tho result of
tho business blows you'd dealt blm
that sent him to his g-r-a-v-o." (I am
endeavoring, by moans of hyphens, to
lndlcato tho lingering, scathing em
phasis which Broadway, this day sat
urated In tho soul of oratory, was giv
ing now to certain wordB.) "I didn't
k-n-o-w It wns tho purposo of tho con
corn with which I was dealing to
throw out of work hundreds of men
that owed to that thing I was selling
their very means of livelihood, food
for their babies, education for their
growing sons and d-a-u-g-h-t-e-r-B."
Even Wallace looked at htm amazed.
The tremolo, the emphasis, tho feeling
which Broadway was putting into this
extraordinary lino of talk to tho trust
agent wero all now and beautiful to
him.
"Lots of things I didn't know yester
day, Mr. Pembroke," said tho young
man in conclusion, "but I'vo found
thom out slnco then, and that is why'
I've brokon my word."
Pembroke's impaaslvcneBs was ruf
fled; thoro was not tho slightest doubt
of that
On Joslo's face thero was a look of
admiration which was balm to Broad
way's soul; tho Judgo had listened
with a mouth continually opening
wider; Wollaco was frankly triumph
ant "You didn't think that I could talk
that way, did you?" asked Broadway
of his adversary. Then, to Wallace:
"How was It?"
"Great!"
"Great?" sold Jackson. "It was
wonderful! I never knew It was In
me." Ho was completely satisfied
with Broadway Jones. Ho whirled
again on Pembroko. "Go on, say some
thing else."
But Pembroko kopt a stony silence.
"Toll you what I'll do," cried Broad
way, "I'll talk you for a thousand dol
lars a Bide."
Pembroko scorned this proposition.
Plainly ho was not a sport. "Then I
am to understand tho prlco Is "
"Tho salesman will state tho price.
I'm tho owner."
"I don't consider any commercial
trade-mark worth a million and a halt
of dollars," Pembroke Bald with em
phasis. "Neither do I," Bald Wallaco cheer
fully. "Still," said Pembroko slowly and
coldly, "even In business wo some;
times deslro to satisfy our prldo. It
has always been tho ambition of our
company to control this output. For
ten years wo have tried to absorb It
Into tho Consolidated without success.
I have communicated with my people
in Ohio, and, whllo wo feel and' know
tho prlco to bo highly exorbitant, we
have decided to take it over. I am
prepared to. buy."
"Well, wo aro not prepared to sell,"
said Wallaco slowly and emphatically.
"What! Ivo agreed to your own
terms!"
"I heard everything you said."
"I don't quite gather your meaning."
"No; and you're not going to gather
our chewing-gum cither. We're not
going to sell. We're going to fight
You haven't a tottering old man to
deal wlU. now, but a young man full
of fire and light, of energy and ambi
tion! Look!"
Bob hlmsolt know this to havo been
a flno flight. He pointed with a ges-
turo full of drama at Broadway, who
did tho best ho could to meet the situ
ation with an attitude which might
havo broken Pembroke's gravity had
ho been less Absorbed and Incensed.
"Wo havo An artlclo which, on Its
own merits, haB stood up under almost
Impossible competition," Wallaco con
tinued In a tone of triumph. "Wo
havo the goods to deliver, and we're
going to light and beat you at your
own gamo. Wo'ro going to mako you
take your own medicine, Mr. Pembroke.
Wo'ro going to mako you compete with
uo. We're going to advertise as no or
tldo was ever advertised beforo.
Wo'ro going to post and plaster from
ono end of tho country to the other.
Wo'ro going to enow you under, that's
what wo'ro going to do, and wo'ro In a
position to do It."
Broadway was as proud of Wallace
as ho had been of himself. "What do
you think of that?" ho asked tho
startlod Pembroko.
Pembroko smiled. Ho had a well
trained faco. He also was an egotist,
both tor himself and for his company.
"Wo spend a million dollars annually
In advertising, Mr. Wilson."
"No you don't" said Wallase
vromptly. "I know what you spend
better than you do yourself. And my
namo Is not 'Mr. Wilson,' and I'm not
GROWING CHILD NEEDS REST
According to Eminent Authority, Hours
of Study Should Be Restricted
With Much Care.
As soon as tho child begins to grow
rapidly all intellectual exertion should

Dr. C. Morcler, tho famous English au

artlclo in tho London Lancet. Espe
cially when thero is any family tend

rapidly growing children should be

Mercler does not think that intellec

to either boys or girls as long a food,

Mr. Jones" secretary." ITo polled A
card out of his pocket, "llero'a my
name and hero's my business."
Pembroko took tho card, looked at
it, and was really affected. As far as
ho wns capable of showing real uneasi
ness ho showed It then.
"You mean tho Empiro Advertising
company Is behind this business?"
Tho Empiro Advertising compnny, It
must bo remembered, was tho largest
In tho world.
Wallaco had not thought of that Ho
had not meant to say tho Empiro was
actually behind Jones' Pepsin gum.
But now that Pombroko had suggested
it, it seemed to him to bo a good ldor.,
and, without taking Into consideration
tho Important fact that his father, not
himself, was president of tho Empiro
Advertising company, ho took thb
plunge.
"That's Just what I mean, and wo'ro
going to do five times as much adver
tising as you over did, and at one
tenth tho coat"
"Then my people do no more busi

"All right," Wallaco positively
sneered, "then let's see how much out

to Now York. Como, John." Ho turned,
then, to Broadway, and bpoke omin
ously. "You mark my word, Mr. Jones,
you'll be glad to do business with us
before another year has passed."
"All right," Broadway answered,
"come around and seo me In about
twelve monthB. I may want to buy
your company."
"Como, John," said Pembroko with
out answering.
"Say, John, take down that last ono
I said," Broadway called after him. "I
thought It was a corker."
The Judgo rose from tho chair In
which ho had been sitting In a sort of
Joyous trance. "I'd givo ten years of
my life rather than havo missed that."
Joslo, who, as spellbound, had been
watching from tho side, sighed hap
pily: "It was all wonderful!"
Wallaco smiled at her. "Havo the
stenographer mako carbon copies of
all that Pembroko said tho entire con
versation. We may need them."
"Incriminating, nearly, every word
of it," tho Judge agreed.
"Didn't I tell you I'd scare tho llfo
out of him?" Wallace asked in boast
ful tones.
"Did you?" Bald Broadway. "I wasn't
so bad myself, was I?"
Tho Judgo grinned at him In com
mendation. Then: "I'll tell Hlgglns
that Pembroko has gone about his
business. Perhaps they'll ralso anoth
er cheer. It will mako thom all feel
Just a llttlo better If thoy could feel
any better. Hell spread the news in
a Jiffy."
"Well, what did you think of It?"
Wallaco asked of Jackson. "How
about It, now that it's all over?"
Broadway was a llttlo dubious. "It's
a good plot, but how aro we going to
play lt?"he inquired, reverting to the
atrical slang of that street ho had
loved and lost so much on.

Elephants and Their Young.
Very little Is known of tho breeding
habits of elephants or their manner
of caring for their young. A gentle
man whom wo became very well ac
quainted whllo on tho Mount Kenla

hunter, nevertheless he bad killed eov
oral elephants on Kilimanjaro. Onco
by mistake ho shot and wounded a
cow elephant that ran some distance
boforo falling. On overtaking hor ho
found that sho had fallen In a kneel
ing position. A llttlo olf was pinned
under her kneo by a log that was driv
en deep into tho soft earth. A close
examination of tho route over which
tbo old elephant had passed failed to
roveal any of tho llttlo one's tracks.
This, together with the fact that tho
calf was not hitherto seen and the pe
culiar manner In which it lay, might
bo taken as proof that tho mother was
carrying It In her trunk, or perhaps
resting It on her tusks, with her trunk
holding It In position. Outing.

wero told that we were to march to
Gettysburg, tho thought of the army
getting out of Virginia Into free coun
try being a very bright ono.
"As wo came nearer wo could hear
tho firing and as wo marched on wo
met A. P. Hill, who had Just como
up with troops to Seminary Ridgo and
had had a lively fight for four hours.
"My regiment stood against tho en
emy until wo had flred all our am
munition nnd then fought with clubbed
muskets and bayonets.
"Wo wero then ordered to charge
on Iverson's North Carolina brlgado
and as wo went forward many of tho
rebels shook their handkerchiefs in
tho air as a signal that thoy would
quit and camo toward us.
"In tho excitement, somehow, my
comrades had gotten away from mo
and suddenly I discovered that I was
alone In tho bunch of Confederates
who had given up. Wo had been
talking for some little tlmo and tho
rest of my comrades had evidently
fallen back.
"I started to get away, but tho Con
federates, seeing that I was alone, or
dered me to halt I started to run
and they flred. At this tlmo a cross
flro was coming In from tho Union
soldiers and as I ran I was struck In
tho groin, tho ball passing through to
my hip.
"I lay thero and saw the nrmles
Bway back nnd forth and after a tlmo
was carried Into thp homo of Rev.
Mr. Baugher, near by, by the Confed
erates. I was there during tho battle
and for five days afterward. I was
placed on the floor of the front hall
and received good care from tho Con
federate surgeon, Doctor Fraser, who
used to remark, 'We'ro all human,
don't be afraid.'
"I remember ono Incident as I lay
on tfio floor. General Lee came Into
tho houso to watch tho progress of
the battlo from tho upper floor of tho
houso nnd In passing through the
house ho stopped over me very care
fully. "As I got a little strength I could
shift myself about and look out onto
the field of battlo. I saw Pickett
como out of tho forest into
tho open and mako that famous
charge. Out of tho din of battlo I
heard a mighty cheer go up from the
Union soldiers and I knew what that
meant. Then I saw Pickett's men
como straggling back carrying their
wounded with them."
Mr. Kimball visited Miss Baugher
in 1883 when a member of a commit
tee sent to mark out various spots
on the battlefield. Again In 1885 he
visited the place and paid a visit
OFFICERS TO DISCARD SABER
Weapon Considered Out of Data aad
Will Be Replaced by Straight.
Sword for Stabbing,
Tho cavalry of the United States is
to lose a weapon which hns been as
sociated with that military arm in all
countries since time Immemorial. It Is
the Baber that is to go.
Tho saber, as everybody knows, Is a
sword of curved shape, meant for a
slashing blow. Under earlier condi
tions of warfare It did effective work.
It Is now considered out of date. To
take Its place tho cavalryman of tho
regular army is to be provided with a
straight sword for stabbing.
Tho new sword will be carried at the
saddle of tho fighting man on horse
hack, who, it is expected, will bo de
prived of tho revolver which ho has
hitherto worn In a holster at his belt
The reason for taking away tho pis
tol is that the cavalryman does uot
need moro than one weapon to shoot
with, namely, the riflo, which Is sus
pended In a hoot by his side. This
riflo is shorter than tho equivalent
arm with which tho soldiers of Euro
pean nations are equipped; but it Is
tho Bama weapon provided for the
American Infantry.
It Is considered that, with one
weapon for Bhootlng and another for
stabbing, the cavalryman Is adequately
armed. But the saber Is a back num
ber, and tho new sword Is expected to
provo much moro useful In practical
warfare

Diplomacy.

In keeping tho peace.
At a recent dinner In Juarez a Mex

tho story comes from a New York:
fruit rancher stared defiantly at Mr.
Edwards, raised his glass and said:
"To the Yankees. They aro all curs.
I make no exceptions."
"To tho Mexicans," Mr. Edward
tranquilly retorted. "They are all gen
tlemen. But I mako exceptions."

After Changing from Coffee to Poetum-
Many a talented person is kept back,
because of the Interference of coffee
with tho nourishment of tho body.
This is especially so with those
whoso nerves are very sensitive, as la
often the caso with talented persons.
There Is a simple, easy way to get
rid of coffee troubles and a Tenn.
lady's experience along these lines is
worth considering. Sho says:
"Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffeo It hurt my stomach. By
tho tlmo I was fifteen I was almost
a nervoue wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to enduro tho most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
"Thero was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with mo.
Tho llttlo I did eat seemed to give
mo moro trouble than It was worth. I
was literally starving; was so weak I
could not sit up long at a time.
"It was then a friend brought me n
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it
and after an hour I felt as though I
had had something to eat felt
strengthened. That was about flvo.
years ago, and after continuing Post
um In place of coffeo and gradually
getting stronger, today I can eat and
digest anything I want, walk as much
as I want My nerves are steady.
"I bellevo tho first thing that did
mo any good and gavo mo an upward
start, was Postum, and I use it alto
gether now lnsteud of coffee."
