By FRANKLIN O. KING
Do You Itomenibpr Tliat Old Story about
Robert Hruco and tlio Spider? Robert was
Illdlmr in a Cuve. I'ts Enemies Had Him
"In tlio Hole," Tctnporu'-lly, So to Speak,
As It AVere. Wlillu Itcllectlng on tlio llockv
Ilotul to Royalty, Robert, the Uruce, Espied
u Spider Spinning His Web Over the En
trance to the Cavern. Nino Times Did tho
Spider SwIiik Across tho Opening In a Vain
Attempt to Effect ft Landing, but tho Tenth
Tlmo ho Touched the Homo Plate, and
Robert, admiring tho PerslHtenco of tho
Insect. Cried Out Loud "Ilravo," Two or
Three Times, One Right
After tho Other. Shortly
After That Uruce Got
Husy nnd Captured a
Kingdom.
All of This Preamble
Is Intended to Point a
Moral, which Is "If At
First You Don't Suc
ceed, Slap on Mor
Steam, and Sand tho
Track." In This Con
nection I want to In
ciulru about Your New

to Ask If You Havo

Therefore, let Us Rc
naive, and Keep Resolv
ing until Victor) Is
I'erchcd on our Ilanncrs.
Remember, You Havo
Fought Many n Victor

World Knows Nothing
About. The Man who

sations, and It Shall Follow ns thn Night

How Much Uetter Off are You than Last
Year, or tho Year Heforo That? Perhaps
Your Wages uro a Llttlo Higher, but Have
not Your Expenses More than Kept Pace
with That Increase? Aren't You Paying a
Little More for Your Clothes and Your
Meals, nnd don't You Smoke Moro Expen
sive Cigars and more of Them than For
merly? If It Isn't Cigars, It may bo Some
thing Else Somo Moro Expensive Habit.

nnd tho tlmo may como when a Younger
Man perhaps u Cheaper Man will 1111 your
Job. Tho Man Who-Looks-Ahend will pre
pare himself for that tlmo by getting a
Home, My advice to You, therefore, Is to

' Yes, I know, 1 know ! ' ' she murmured,
fumbling nervously with a fold of lier
dress.
When lie spoko again it was to nsk
abrujitly: "Katherine, havo you any
bromitlo here?"
"You know I never take anything
like that. I 'm afraid of growing to need
it too much."
"That 's right, you shouldn't take it.
Hut tonight I 'm going to give you some
beforo I go. You 're all aquiver, nnd I
can't havo you awake all night." He
smiled. "You know, you're going to get
well nnd strong now, so wo can afford to
steal this one night's sleep."
SI10 smiled faintly. "It 's good to be
waited on and looked after."
Ho crushed back the answer that came
to his lips. Any expression of his own
love would only distress her. Then ho
said good night very quietly, without any
further referenco to the morrow.
That night she slept deeply, delicious
ly tho sleep of one utterly wearied.
IT was after nino when she awoko with
11 startled feeling of something pend
ing, something momentous that was be
fore her. What wns it? Bewildered, she
gazed about tho room. Then in n Hash it
all swept back.
It was today 1 IIo would probably see
him today! And now she was full of"
fears, of apprehensions. Her whole life
depended on that interview. With all
Will's tact and delicncy, still might he
not make mistakes'! IIo knew so little of
tho man ho was 'to approach, and yet he
was to approach him about tho most dilli
eult and delicate tiling of which one man
can speak to another.
It was ten when she called up his office;
ho wns always there at that time. Hut
tho stenographer answered that Mr. Ben
nett had been iu nnd gono out again, nnd
had left no word as to when he would
bo back.
Slio waited half an hour and then called
again. But he had not returned. By this
time sho was feverishly anxious and un
strung. Again she called; and then be
gan hurriedly to dress. Sho would go
down to his office. Action of any kind
would bo easier than waiting here.
She took :i taxicab to a subway station
and an express train from there. To reach
his office ns soon as possible her mind
held no other thought. She had had no
breakfast, which increased tho feeling of
sick, trembling weakness.
"Air. Bennett just 'phoned ho would
bo in at 11:30," his stenographer in
formed her when she entered. "Ho said
lie had an appointment hero at that time,
and it 's almost that now. Will you
wait!"
Katherine nodded and turned toward a
small reception hall thnt lay between the
main room and his private office. She
waited thero a few moments nnd then
opened tho door on the ground glass of
which was tho word "Private." For
a second she hesitated, then entered, clos
ing tho door after her.
He would havo wanted her to como in
here, she assured herself. He would not
hnvo wished her to wait outside. Sho sank
into the revolving chair beforo his desk.
Her head ached cruelly, nnd sho was
trembling with sheer nervous weakness.
Sho suddenly realized that her rushing
down hero had been very foolish and
wholly unnecessary. Sho had only to leavo
word, and he would so willingly havo
come to her.
Thero were voices now in tho outer
office. Had he comot Sho rose and
turned toward tho door. Then sho stopped
and caught blindly at 11 chair.
IH11 voice !
"Mr. Bennett nsked mo to bo hero at
11:30," curtly. "It 's ten minutes past
that now."
Then the stenographer's voice: "He Ml
bo hero in 11 moment, I 'm sure. He 's
always punctual about his appointments."
Wildly she was looking around for somo
1 means of escape. Ho was just outsido
I the door sho had entered. There was an
other door sho sprang toward it! But
it was only a closet liued with shelves of
files nnd papers.
Then Will's voice:
I "I am sorry to havo been detained."
