1 . i MONDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1916. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PACE 5. i i 0 ; J.t f r. i 1 f A IT CHAPTER VIII. Business ar.d Love. ODXEY'S back was turned on his old life low-there was no doubt of thnt. The boy was usuailv the first after Mary to reach h ollice. I'eale was always late. "I say. jVale." Rodney would say, "you're late again. It's got to stop, lit re it is 10 o'c lock." "Don't scold, little boss," Fcale would nnwt-r as he hung up his coat. "That l.!;i;iu-l alarm clock first time in my life it tii.ln't go off." T:.i afraid that's old stuff." Rodney wo::M answer sternly. one morning Peale looked at the lit tle boss in great surprise. -II. .ly Pcur riper, you've shaved off your mustache." he ejaculated. "Yes." said Rodney, grinning, "I'm ji:.-t bt-riiiiiintr to get on to myself. IJy r.eorge, I certainly used to look t ft ft-:':--- By George, I certainly used to look like the deuce." the deuce. Do you observe the cl'-thes?" he added, rising and turning round. "Why. you're getting to be a regular business man. My tuition," said I'eale. "You bet your life. Business is great fun." i-aid Rodney. "I thought it would bore me, but it's immense; it's the best game I ever played. What's the news with you?" "Weil. I've been on father's trail," cnswereil IVale. "We only just got back from Buffalo this morning." "We?" queried Rodney. "Yes. your father and I," Teale ex plained, "lie went to the Intercolonial in Buffalo. I had all the billboards iu the neigbboard plastered thick and forty-tight street stands along the streets to the railroad station. From tLe time the old man got in until he got out he couldn't Ijk anywhere without seeing 13 Soap. I even found out the number of Lis room and had a small balloon floating 1.1 Soap Ftreniners right outside his window. I tok a pae in Jill the Buffalo papers, b;il.'d the hat boy to keep putting cir cai;ir in his hat every time he checked it .-ind t-ent him one of our new fold ers every mail. I came back with him on the train, and when he went into the washroom last Liuht I had the portor J-:iy, 'Sorry, sir. we ain't got no 1U Soap, but you can't hardly keep any u;i hand -it's such grand, grand soap.' " Another day Rodney calmly said to Pealc. "I have plans for our new fac tory." "I'lans for what? Have you gone dippy?" Here they are," said Rodney, pro ducing a large blue print. "Pretty real looking, aren't they?" You don't mean you've actually get tome nut to build us a factory?" shout- I'eale. No, no. They are to impress fa ther. I.on't you see?" "Oh. yes. Well, that Is an idea," ad mitted I'eale. If he ever does drop in to make a ial." said Rodney, "I thought we ;u--rlit to have something to make a fi-o nt something that looks like a plunr. Aii'l by the way, if we can let i; leak out that it's the Audover soap people who are backing us with unlim it '1 capital." went on Rodney. "The Andover soap people?" Teale inquired. "Sure! Father's always hated 'em in business." explained Rodney. "Ills eldest friend, though. Is John Clark, one of the big bugs in that company. Clark's got a son, Ellery. that father ili. likes because he's such a success In business always held him up to me as model son to pattern by. It would i.ske fatner wild if be .thought that 1 1J Clark was going to back us..!!, 5 ? 5 i It I V i a K FAY; Novelized by Samuel Field From the Successful Play by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter "Then that scheme ought to be good for a great rise out of father. Say, by the way, I put over a corner on him this morning," chattered Feale. "I ar ranged for a parade of sandwich men up and down In front of bis house; When be got to bis office there was an other bunch there." "Isn't it funny, though, that nobody's tried to buy any soap from us yet?" asked Rodney, with some anxiety. This was a very tender point with the soap company. Mary and Rodney worried over it, and Rodney dreamed at night about it. An occasional small order that might filter In from some remote outlying district or some small merchant whose credit was doubtful, was gazed upon as parents gaze at their first baby. "It takes time to create a demand." be would say, but admitted that the 200 cakes of pink castile tbey had In night looked swell in their old rose wrappers. It was a pity they hadn't got a couple of hundred thousand dol lars to go after this advertising thing on the level, instead of just for father. Neither he nor Rodney knew how much money they had left. "Don't ask me." said Teale. "I'm not a financier, Where's our worthy bookkeeper. Miss Grayson?" he added, looking at his watch. "It's nearly 11." "I'll bet she was here before either of us; she always is. By George, isn't she a corker?" began Rodney lyrically. "Oh, she's all right." agreed Peale in differently. "All right! Wby, the girls you read about don't mean anything compared to Mary," began the ecstatic lover. "She's got Juliet beat a mile. Every time I think of her I want to yell or do some other darn fool thing, and ev ery time I see her I just want to get down and kiss her shoes." Rodney said all this and could have said much more, but Feale's mind was on other things. "If we could only land one hard wal lop on father after that Buffalo busi ness." he reflected sadly, still on busi ness. "Didn't you hear what I said?" de manded Rodney indignantly. "Not a word," said Feale. "I was talking about Mary." "I know you were. That's why I didn't listen," said Feale delicately. "Speak of the goddess," he added, as Mary just then entered. She was dressed neatly and appropri ately to her new role, distinguishing letweeu the tone of the old Martin of fices and this new enterprise into which she had been drawn by such cu rious processes. To Rodney as always, this morning and every morning, she was a vision of loveliness, a refresh ment for tired eyes. "Ah, you're here!" he said joyfully. "Now everything's all right. It's a great world." "Don't be silly." said Mary briskly. 'This is a business office." "By George, Mary," began Rodney again. "Miss Grayson!" corrected Mary. "By George, Miss Grayson, you do look simply stunning. You're twice as pretty today as you were yesterday. and tomorrow vou'll be" "Hey, hey. change the record, or put on a soft needle," put in Feale good naturedly. Mary rewarded him with her approval. "Quite right in business hours only business," she said. "But you certainly are the prettiest thing." persist d Rodney. "Am I?" said Mary. "Well." said Feale. "it looks to me as If you two were going to play another love scene, so I shall attend to a little business. Exit advertising manager up staae," he laughed, going out. "By George, Mary, it seems a hun dred years since yesterday. I do love j you." Rodney began again, when they i were alone. j T lr t-oii rnnlli-V "Why. of course!" "It isn't that you're just in love with love." suggested Mary with a thought ful look, "and that I've been very blue eyed and baby faced?" "I should say not," protested Rod ney. "Why, you're not a bit like that." "Oh! Why do you love me, then?" "I don't know." "You see?' said Mary accusingly. "I mean. Why does anybody love any body?" Rodney expounded. "I can't explain. It's just that you're you. I guess. I can't talk the way they do in books. I wish I could. All I know Is that if you left here I'd quit too. I'd just want to walk around after you all the rest of my life and say. Are you comfortable, my love? Are you happy?' If there is anything on the wide earth you want let mo get it for you, Mary. What a wonderful name that is just like you, simple and honest and beautiful. Mary!" "And you really love me like that?" asked Mary. "No. A million times more." "Oh, Rodney. Rodney," she said, al most crying. "What's the matter?" asked her lov er anxiously. "You love me too, don't your Hackett "It means a lot to me to see you suc ceed." sighed Mary. "But it isn't just the success, just the money, is it?" queried the boy. Mary paused awhile and then an swered, "No. I don't think it is." ' "Then when will you marry me?" he began eagerly. "Not in business hours" "Very well, we'll wait till after 0." "No, you agreed not until you'd made good." "I know. I knovr, but it's mighty hard to be engaged and not to be al lowed to kiss you. You won't even let me come to see you much. It's all just business. Do you love me?" "Do you doubt that 1 do?" "No, but I'd like to hear you say yon do." "I won't gratify your vanity. We must stick to soap and advertising. Is that understood?" "I suppose so, for today anyhow." he agreed, then leaned over and kissed her suddenly. "Oh. Rodney!" protested the secre tary. "They say stolen kisses are sweetest, but I don't think so," he said, laugh ing. "They're so darned short. Won't you give me a real one?" Mary shook her head. "No. Now to business." Rodney sat down again with an air of resignation. "Well, then if this is a business of fice what do yon mean by not getting down here till nearly 11?" he demand ed sternly. He did not really think she had been remiss, lie was only teasing her. of course. lie was the optimistic one and knew things were Ml right. Feale had hypnotized him with his advertising magic. It had been great fun reading the ads. They had seemed so large and conspicuous and inescapable. You would have thought that every reader of the newspapers, every traveler iu the cars or busses in the special sec tion marked out by Feale for old Mr. Martin's benefit, would have ordered 13 Soap straightway next mornhig whether they needed more toilet soap cr not. Rodney had positive" a feel ing of self consciousness as he walked downtown in the morning. There was a half formed thought in his head that he might even be pointed at iu the streets as the president of the great 13 Soap company. Now Mary's grave face and her cool ways when he would have made love to her chased all such business reveries into thin air. "I was here at 1," said Mary. "I knew it. But where've you been?" "That's what I've got to tell you. I'm sorry it's such bad news." "It can't be very bad if it comes from you "But it is. I've been out trying to raise money." "Why. Mary, are you in trouble?' "No. but I am afraid you are." "If you wanted money, why on earth didn't you come to me?" asked Rodney. "Because you haven't any. This firm's broke. I was surprised, too. when I balanced the books this morn ing." said Mary, "but you've spent a Jot these last two days. Here's a state ment of assets and liabilities. You owe S22.S1S.0'J." "Great Scott, what are our assets? "One hundred and thirty-three dol lars and thirteen cents.' Rodney shook his head courageously. "That's quite a showing for month." he chaffed. "And Mr. Jones, the advertising man. was here this morning too. lie won't wait any longer for his money, went on Mary. "But we paid him So.OOO not long O "O " o nd we still owe him $!.400." said Mary. "Unless he gets $2,500 of it to day he says bo will put you out of business. "You didn't manage to raise any money while you were our. did you? Rodney asked, pocketing his qualm about the source of Mary's capital. "Not a cent." said Mary. "And you haven't heard from the countess since that day she signed the contract?" "Not a word," said Rodney, and add ed hopefully. "But maybe we shall soon "I don't know what we're going to do." said Mary, sighing. But Rodney was still hopeful and in clined to cheer up "The important thing is I've got you anyhow," he said happily just as Am brose Feale came in again "Well, well, well! Still spooning, eh?" said Fcale. "Say. sou. I've just learned a lot from that advertising agent downstairs. Great little guy; full of facts and figures. lie gets paid $."30.000 'a year for writing ads." I'eale was incorrigible, and today his talk in the face of their actual condi tion got on Mary's nerves a little. She interrupted iini a t ienlly. "Never mind him." she said t Rod ney. "We're broke." "Nonsense! ?ome mistake in the books." said Fcale. "Is it? Here's a statement of our liabilities." she saill, holding up a "pa-per-$22,S0S.09." "What's the 9 cents for?" Feale wanted to know, reading. ''Assets $133.13. That's a lucky hunch, thir teen. Well, why not change the head ings? Make the liabilities the assets and the assets the liabilities. See. like this," and he scribbled on a pink f ad that he carried with him: "Liabilities. $133.13; assets. $22.S1S.09. Merely a matter of bookkeeping." be added cheerfully, jabbing the pink paper on a hook." "You'd make a wonderful expert ac countant." said Mary scornfully. (To Be Continued.) LOUISVILLE.
