CHAPTER XIII.
The Turning of the Tide.
'IT w.-.s a sail an.l chastened little
C company that met iu the otlice
next morning. lVale was cast
tlowu lor once in his life. Mary
w;is ioiisive, ainl only Itoilney know
that inner plow that gives the silver
Ji-.ing in the cloud of ill luck ami pov
erty. Mary h:ul kissed him. lie must
Iut that in hi lok of days.
Mary l.i.kttl at him anxiously and
seemed relieved to tind him not entire
ly cat iIjwu. She had been wretched j
herself, she said, worrying over the ;
betrayal of her lover to the old soap '
kins and beyau again to bemoan her
bad break.
"Oh. Kodney, Uoduey," she said to
liim. -it was all mv fault! Your fa- !
ther had no idea of the truth. I didn't
understand. I told him alout our com
pany I did it all betrayed you."
"But you didn't mean to. It's all
right. Mary," said Ilodney, reassuring
her.
"You forgive me?" asked Mary, look
ing him in the eyes.
"Why. of course I love you," he said
simply.
"Oh, Kodney, I'm so sorry!" Mary
becan again.
T.ut if father thinks just because he
laced into me I'm licked he's all
wrons." he declared stoutly. "Maybe
I have been a fake, but, by George. I
won't be any longer!"
"You're really going on?" Mary
aked.
"When I've got you you bet I am."
declared Kodney. "Do you really think
a long speech from father and no mon
ey to work with are enough to stop
m? No, sir. What father said got
me for a minute, but I'm not a quitter,
and I'll prove it. I'll get out of this
mess the best way I can. and then I'll
shine, shoes or sell peanuts. I'll start
nt the lottom instead of finishing
There. I'll make mney I'il"
"Oh. Rodney. Kodney. now I am
proud of you!" Mary interrupted.
;....! old Ambrose Tealo had been
nv-f sympathetic that morning too.
"IVa'le. I'm sorry," said Kodney, "but
you're fired."
"h. no. little bos." said IVale. "you
cm n't fire me! I'm just going to stick
around, whatever happens."
Ambrose stuk. In fact, they all
stuck. The decided to pay the bal-
'You're really going on 7"
nni-p of the month's rent out of their
a. - ami gave a note to Jones to
slave him tnT, as I Vale said. Mary
protested that a mte was money ; that
it had to bo paid'sonie time, but IVale
deflated that time was money too. and
something was sure to happen in the
v.cxt thirty or sixty days. He felt it
in hi-- lnnes. He pegged away at his
advertising meanwhile. It was his
dissipation, the liquor in which he
ilrowned his woes, and it is even of rec
ord that one specially clever stunt was
instrumental in getting the redoubta
ble Jones to accept the 1:. Soap Com
pany's note.
He had books on the science of ad
vertising, too. spread on hi desk and
may or may not have read them all.
Mary's private opinion was that lie
hr-d not. but that he only drew moral
comfort from the outsides of them. At
any rate it was astonishing to see how
iaany there were. It was positively
pathetic. Mary thought, sometimes to
see him poring over this literature"
r sitting then scribbling his ads.
when the business of shining shoes,
which Kodney had threatened to
adopt, would have produced moif real
ii'-mey for hint.

carking care from Mary's shoulders,
should have been spent in two days in
advertising by Ambrose Peale. The
explanation of this $o,(J00 must be
made to Kodney some day too. livery
once in awhile he grew curious about
it. Hut Ambrose didn't measure it iu
dollars and cents, only in terms of
space, and still less did he care where
it came from. Truly he was a fiend
on copy, lie would study and expound
the sigus which they could see from
the otlice windows, while Mary, Kod
ney and Miss Burke would all listen
spellbound wheu there were no call
ers, as often happened. Not enough
white space, he would cry of one em
blazonment. Not big enough, he would
gay. Doesn't bring out the right
point, was another criticism. Ain't
clear not true no punch, et cetera,
et cetera.
If only they had just made soap,
Mary couldn't help thinking some
times, as all this talk rang in her ears.
If only they had just made soap and
made it good. Good wine needs no
bush, was an ancient proverb she came
to believe in. By the same token,
good soap would need no ads.
Now, the funniest part of the whole
thing, speaking of advertising, was
that the 13 Soap, the old family cook
book soap, was really good. Mary had
always been loyal to It from the first
time she had used it. She had given it
to some friends for Christmas, and
they had Hked it, too, and said they
would "talk it up." She had gone to
a store and bought a holly covered
box and laid three cakes in it neat
ly done up in tissue paper and red
ribbon, with a stamp showing Santa
Claus and a legend, "Not to be opened
till Christmas," on the outside.
"We must siell Christmas with an X
this year," said Kodney chailiugly.
"Lot X equal the unknown quantity."
"We'll see," said Mary, smiling.
She simply must go on hoping and
siniliiy? or she should die. It was
counting your chickens before they
were hatched no doubt, but, then, you
might never get a chance to count
them later, she told herself pathetical
ly. She had superintended the first
experiments at soapmakiug and fig
ured out the manufacturing costs.
They must be ready, she had always
maintained. She even bought a book
on elementary chemistry and had
dreams of a large soap works, like old
Mr. Martin's, where an army of self
supporting girls should be put to work
under the best hygienic and sanitary
conditions, and the minimum wage
should be a generous one. She did
succeed in getting a few gross of 1.1
Soap made after the old book formula.
In the loft there were a few piles of
it. the genuine 1.1, ranged alongside
the pink castile in old rose wrappers.
As a matter of fact she had had to
give up manufacturing on any large
scale, because their advertising took
all their money, but Mary cherished
the idea of taking up the work in
earnest some day again. She didn't
really believe much in the idea of
making old Mr. Martin buy them out.
Already she had more ambitious de
siuns than that for her man Kodney.
The darkest hour comes just before
the dawn, and dawn came with a sud
den burst of glory one morning when
Ambrose Peale flew into the office in
great excitement, interrupting Mary
and Kodney in a long embrace. Al
ways discreet and tactful, he coughed
and scraped his feet as a signal to
them to break away.
"Say, I didn't mean to interrupt." he
apologized.
Kodney kept his arms around Mary.
"Nothing in the world can interrupt
us." he said. "What is it?"
"A telegram," said Peale. "It's the
first we've ever had. I was afraid to
open it."
Mary came over to him and looked
at it nervously.
"What awful thing can it be?" she
queried.
"Gee. I wonder what it says!" came
from Kodney.
"Kead it. read it!" said Peale, afraid
to do so himself.
So then Mary opened it and read:
Rodney Martin, President 33 Soap Com
pany. 3T,0 Uroadway
"Go on. we know the address,"
Peale broke in impatiently.
Mary went on:
Ship at once, collect. 5 ,000 caliea 1", Soap.
Sisned. IlitUWX & JAilKS,
C'liitMgo.
A profound silence fell upon the trio.
The colossal number of TiO.ooO and the
magic name of Brown &. James had
overiK)Wered them. It was far too
good to be true.
"Somebody really wauls to buy some
of our soap." echoed Kodney stupidly.
"I don't believe it." said Peale.
"But here it is," said Mary, handing
the telegram to Kodney. so that he
might view it with his own eyes at
close range.
"Fifty thousand cukes," said Kodney;
"it s' true."
Then Peale burst out joyfully; the
tida luid turiud-
al s?r. . mm
" We've started we've begun!" he
yelled; "we're actually going t sell
tome soap."
"The tide's turned," aid Kodney;
"didn't I tell you advertising pays?
We'll sweep the country Europe Asia
Africa. Go in with father? Not for
a million dollars'."
"I'll wire Brown & James right
away," said Beale briskly.
"Go ahead, do." said Kodney.
But an exclamation from Mary made
thvm both turn.
"What is it?' asked Peale nervously.
"What's happened?" asked Kodney.
"That order is no good. We can't
fill it we-'vp never made any soap,"
said Mary with a sinking heart.
"What shall we do?" quavered Kod
ney. '"Let's think." said Peale hopefully.
They sat staring straight ahead dole
fully, till finally Kodney remarked
slowly:
"We must get some soap."
"Yes. I thought of that," said Peale.
"Where can we get it?" Mary asked
them deliberately.
"Prom a soap factory!" Peale sug
gested. "But they all belong to your father,"
Mary reminded him.
Meanwhile Kodney had a ray of
dawning hope.
"But he can't know about this Brown
& James order maybe we could buy
some soap before he'd have a chance
to stop them selling to us"
"Great idea let's get busy," said
Peale. taking him up promptly.
"How?" asked Mary.
"Where's the phone book? Kodney
asked, and grabbed the red classified
directory from his desk.
"We'll call up two or three of his
branch oflaces."
CHAPTER XIV.
Soap Bubbles.
KINS, skates, shirts. Where's
soap?" Kodney recited to Mary
and Peale.
"Skylights, slates, slides,"
echoed Mary over his shoulder.
"Smelters, smokestacks, suutT,' went
on Peale.
"Ah, here it is soap manufacturers,"
said Kodney at last, skimming down
the page. "Two-seven-six Broad. Here
is one of father's factories."
"I've got one too o74 Schuyler," said
Peale.
"So have I ISO Audubon," Mary
chimed in.
Wit it one accord they dropped the
book and darted to the telephones,
shouting all together:
"Two-seven-six Broad."
"Four-cight-o Audubon."
"Three-seven-four Schuyler, and hur
ry, sweetie."
"It'll have to be old rose." said Kod
ney in an aside as he held the wire.
"Castile is the cheapest," Peale sug
gested. "Order small cakes," said the prudent
Mary. And then they all began again
together:
"Hello. Is this the Martin Soap com
pany? We want to get some soap-
pink castile small cakes ln,000 or G'J.
(KXi cakes immediate delivery. What's
the price?"
"Hello, four-cight-o Audubon. I want
to find out if 1 can buy a lot of soap
right away old rose castile ."(akJO
cakes. We want it this afternoon."
"Hello, son. I want to buy a lot of
soap, oO.Oixj cakes. (Jot to have some
of it today smallest size cattile cakes
you keep. If you haven't old rose,
pink 'II do. Who am 1? None of your
business."
This last message, with its bit of airy
persiflage, came from Peale, who look
ed at the others and gave a large and
happy wink as lie surveyed them wait
ing at their receivers.
The tide had turned.
They could hardly wait till the soap
' came in and was shipped out again tc
Chicago. AH three of them were as
excited as children waiting before the
doors that open on n Christmas tree.
Fifty thousand cakes! It was an in
estimable, an infinite, an incredible
number. Kodney had net an idea
whether a row of .i.00 cakes of i:;
Soap would reach from our earth to
the moon or only from the Union ho
tel to the railroad terminal. They came
and came, an endless chain. But when
the influx stopped and had been care
fully counted by Mary. Miss Burke and
the office boy. pro teni. it totaled, not
Ao.OOO, though it seemed a million, but
only 5.000 altogether.
"Are you sure?" asked IVale and
Kodney in one breath. "Aren't there
any more?"
"Quite sure," said Mary.
"Positive," said Miss Burke.
"Are you certain sure there aren't
any more of them anywhere?" repeat
ed Ambrose.
"Search me." said the office boy.
It was true: only 5.000 of the lot had
been delivered.
The company's three officers made
a dash for their telephones. Peale got
274 Schuyler. Mary 4SU Auuuhon and
Kodney "JT; B:vad in a jilTy. only to be
to.il that thvre was no mere soap in
stock. lueatli instance the news was t
5
conveyed In a cool and uncordial tone
that gave them to understand there
was nothing more doing In that quar
ter. What was the matter?
Peale turned round and stared at his
companions and partners aghast.
."Well, wouldn't that get you?" he
ejaculated.
Kodney was the most crestfallen of
them aU, for an Idea had come to him
of the true reason of things.
"It's the pater," he said in a quiet
tone thai carried conviction. "He shut
down on us."
Mary set her Ihis and nodded her
head in her turn, for the same idea had
occurred to her. She was afraid it
was all too true. As one sometimes,
even in a nightmare, tells oneself this
horrible sensation is a dream, so she
told herself now this Cruel, horrible
refusal to give them more soap was
only a part of old Mr. Martin's bluff
to make Kodney work, one more of his
"scenes" in his grand scheme to trans
form Kodney from an idle rich man's
son into a real money getter; that to
morrow, in real life, the other cakes
would come.
In one mental flash she would see
the thing this way and now that.
Then she began to look on the more
practical side of things, to turn round
and see wJiere they stood. An order
for 5,000 cakes in itself was not so
bad. It was the very largest they had
ever received, at any rate. They
would ship the 5,000 promptly anil
Brown & James would pay cash for
them iu ten days. She made a rapid
calculation. They were giving old Mr.
Martin 3 cents a cake for them and
would get $3,000 back. That would
mean $2,S5o. She smoothed out the
frown In her pretty forehead and an
nounced aloud:
"Well, it means about $3,000 to us,
and cash too. After all, that's not so
bad."
Peale cheered up immediately.
"Cash," he repeated, rolling the word
round in his mouth and tasting it.
"The most beautiful word in the Eng
lish language."
"Except one," said Rodney, looking
at Mary.
"Which is?" Peale queried.
"Love," said Kodney.
"No, cash," said Peale. "Why, look
here. Think what this means $3,000."
"We'll discount Jones note," said
Mary resolutely.
"And it's only a beginning," went on
Peale. "Give me back that telegram.
It'll be my letter of credit, my pass
port and all the rest of it. I'll show it
to the advertising agents. They'll
trust me on the strength of that."
It proved a help indeed, this cash,
when it came on in due course, but
not a cure. It vanished like smoke in
thin air, like cream before a set of
kittens, like snow upon the desert's
dusty face. Their joy in it was short
lived, because it was so soon gone.
Again there came a day when the end
of the month, with its next rent pay
ment, seemed much nearer than the
first, a day when time, which Peale
said was the same thing as money,
seemed very much like time, and short
time at that, and very little like .real
money. To make matters worse Peale
meanwhile had swung round the circle
again, waving his "letter of credit"
and running up a lot more in the way
of bills on new advertising. lie had
scooted otT for a week and never let
the office know by so much as a tele
gram where he was. Then, as cheer
fully as he had gone, he blew home
again one da announcing that he had
contracted for about $30,000 worth of
advertising in Boston, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Washington and a Apw other
eastern metropolises. He declared it
was the greatest advertising campaign
ever undertaken since George W. Ad
vertising was a young man.
For a self respecting bookkeeper it
was all dreadfully disheartening; Mary
sighed and found it very difficult. Mak
ing five go into two was nothing com
pared with the effort to make $2-,.S18.0l
go into $133.13. '
For a little while the days passed un
eventfully, drawing nearer the inevita
ble end. Then came the last day of the
month, and Mary's blue devils were
very large and blue. The day passed
quietly enough in the 13 Soap com
pany's offices, so far as outward signs
revealed it; there were 'few callers.
Jones being out of the way. though
Mary knew he would be heard from
tomorrow If his note was not properly
met at the bank. How was she ever
going to get a check certified to meet it!

and then, and used his rubber stamp,
but its impact on the pad and paper
lacked the usual vigor. Even Peale's
head, Mary noted, drooped a little a3
he wrote his ads. ads. that would be
born to blush unseen if money could
not be raised somehow, somewhere, to
pay for them.
As the hour of 3 drew near Mary
began to make some long drawn out
preparations for going home. This last
quarter of an ho?r ,of time, must bo
killed and done to death by fair means
or by foul. A resolution had been
slowly forming iu her head and now
took definite shape. She shut down
her desk with a delightfully loud noise
and stood up.
"I may be a little late tomorrow,"
she said to Ilodney as she began put
ting on her hat
"All right," said the president mildly.
Ilodney too looked as if something
were working in his mind, and no won
der. Mary thought, with their situa
tion what it was. Mary knew him like
a book, but this time she would ask no
questions and keep her own counsel.
She was going straight up to Mr. Mar
tin's on Fifth avenue and have a long
talk and argument with him. He sim
plv must let them have those extra
,000 cakes of soap for Brown &
James.
She scurried over to the Third Ave
nue elevated and climbed the stairs of
the station at Worth street, her brain
working all the time. In a curious,
detached spirit she saw her nickel
slide into the groove made by so many
previous nickels on the hard wood sill
under the ofilce window and dropped
her ticket delicately in the ticket chop
per's glass box.
Several local trains passed, all crowd
ed, and. being tired and enjoying the
fresh air, Mary was disposed to take
her time and wait till she got the seat
she wanted. It gave her a luxurious
feeling to let the trains go by and not
run after them, as people usually did
in New York.
A woman came presently and sat
down beside her, with an evident in
clination to talk. She .was young,
though her peroxide hair made her look
older. There were two types of wom
en with dyed hair like this, Mary had
noted the fast and the sentimental.
Iler neighbor was obviously theMatter,
and Mary's looks had probably appeal
ed to her. Without insolence she look
ed Mary over thoroughly a moment as
if appraising her.
"Are you a business woniau?" she
asked after a little pause.
Mary was good natured and a good
mixer, and, seeing that the woman suf
fered only from human curiosity, she
answered, "Yes," adding just for fun:
"I'm a vice president and a secre
tary. Our company has offices on Broad
way." The woman looked quite impressed.
"What line are yoi folks inV" she
pursued.
"Soap," said Mary.
"Married?" asked the woman.
."Not yet," said Mary.
"Well, you'll get a husband if you
want one," said the woman, with a
crisp laugh. "A pretty girl like you
usually gets what's coming to her."
"I'm engaged," said Mary, amused.
"You see?" said the woman. "Now,
I'm a bachelor maid, as they call them
nowadays, myself. Most of my girl
friends have too much trouble with
their husbands. None of your married
life for mine. No, sir. No matter how
swell a little home I might have, it
wouldn't appeal to me! When are you
going to be married?" the woman in
quired. "Oh. I don't know," said Mary. "I
suppose we'll go down to the city hall
some day and have it over with."
"You'd like a nice wedding, though,
wouldn't you," the woman continued
sympathetically, "with white satin and
a wedding A"eil and all? 1 know one
girl who's never got over it because
she was married in a brown dress."
The woman with the dyed hair j-ush-ed
ofif presently, shrieking, "Oh, there's
Maynie," and Mary was left alone
again. The local that she waited for
came along, and she got aboard at her
leisure.
Mary alighted at Seventy-second
street, keeping her courage at the strik
ing point, and pressed the bell button
on Mr. Cyrus Martin's front door.
Johnson, looking surprised, but pleased
to see her, let her in and showed her
into the little reception room down
stairs to wait while he took her name
up to Mr. Martin.

The Girls' Glee Club gave a delight
ful little recital during the chapel
hour on Wednesday. Many remarked
that they had never heard the girs
do so' well. Miss Nelle Craig of Falls
City sang a solo entitled "Mighty Like

The Syracuse basket ball team met
a great defeat at the hands ot the
Peru team last Wednesday evening.
A cloe game was anticipated, as the
Syracuse team had twice defeated the
San Franciscoans, and the latter team
is the only one which has won from
Peru this year. Nevertheless, the
game was an easy one for Peru, the
score being 4(5-18. The visitors f-eeir,ed
to be skilled on their o'.vn floor only.
The San Franciscoanj retained to
Peru lor a second game Monday nipht
and were defeated, the final s'-ore be
ing 22-17. The game was decidedly
spectacular. During the nvt half the
scores of the two teams never differed
more than two points. Both teams
displayed artistic team work. How
ever, in the second half the vis'ting
team gave up forward ulavs almost
entirely for the sake of guarding. This
is the last game on the home flijor.
The team wiii play in several places
over the state during the next month.
On Saturday evening the senior
girls defeated the junior girls in one
of the most entertaining games of
the season. There is some mighty
good material on each team, and tlr
girls did faster, harder work than
is often seen on girls' teams. Between
halves a group of girls gave an exhi
bition of one of the dances used in thc
advanced gymnasium classes, his
exercise was very pietty and effects e

that the girls were obliged to repeat
it.
