The Signal 1 Ml IIIU iJOV I A Girl Who Had Every I thing She Wanted By AGNES G. BROGAN David Ilonrno turned from the wild commotion of Uiu "lilt," with it babel of nigh keyed voices, mid punned out 111 to the morning sunshine. "Ho old Illchards ban won again." Failure Hcemed a word unknown to this wiz ard In the world of flnuuee. How did bo do It? What "sod of fortune" wait ed upon this great speculator, giving him Infallibly the proper cue? And what new extravagance would this later victory bestow upon I'uula l'auhi, the daughter of whom her fa thwr ho proudly boasted, "She Hhall havo everything she wuuts?" "The girl who has everything she wants," Bourne thought of tier now ii8 he strode along, uud an Inner light panned over bis feutureH, eruHlng all weariness. It hud been u mistaken kind ness upon the purt of the doting father, currying out thin humble clerk In bin employ to upend delightful duys at his famous home on the Hudson. Uud It been an lntcutlonul kindness, David wondered gloomily, or merely tbo lusu tlable desire of the mun to Impress another with lib) greulncss? And the daughter, who wus beautiful, hud also been kind. David pictured her now moving with a sort of Htutely dignity, her little dusky bend held high, her lure and radiant smile. And Hbe bud douo Justice to the generous udvuutugu of her training; her touch upon the pi una wuh u Joy, her voice u charm to bo remembered. David sighed abruptly, "The girl who bus everything Hbe wants." lie recalled hulf bitterly tbo luxury of bur surroundings, the rich draperies which clung ubout her slender llgure, the little Jeweled lingers l'uulu Rich ards, only daughter of the king or llnance and ho, David Itourne, loved her. Sometimes he bnd funded u ten dorness in the girl's eyes uprulscd to his, a wlstfulness answering to his own unspoken longing, liut David put these dreums resolutely from him. lie oven laughed contemptuously us he squared his shoulders. "You poor, simpleton!" lie breathed. Ullll It wus growing the little hoard In the bunk growing, oh, so sJowly, with such painful self sacrificing, with almost hopeless desperation. Yet thero wero times when the hopelessness vnn Lined, and David smoked on in sub dued excitement as ho planned Ills one plunge, bis II rat venture in the pit of I ho Stock Exchange. And if he were successful, If ho could follow the lead f his great employer, If his money t.liould come buck Increased a hun dredfold, why, then she might be his n ud still continue to be "the girl who bud everything she wanted." Until thou he must worship ut her feet us long us she should be kind. She met him that evening with her usual sweet gravity. lie bad always admired this pretty seriousness, light ened by her rare smile. Tonight the sinllo seemed more rare tlinn ever. She glanced at him with concern. "You nro tired," said I'aulo, "or troubled." David laughed shortly. "Troubled, I think," ha replied, "Will you play for wo?" With her characteristic understand ing tbo girl seated herself ut the pliino. Throughout the "Love Symphony" he wondered wildly if a millionaire's duughter might not possibly llnd hap piness In u small apartment, If ro mance might not be made to ntoue for the absence of a retinue of serv ants, If and If A song of Curuso's brought him back to the opera and l'uulu thero In her father's box, with her the people of her kind. "I'aulal" he cried ubruptly. The girl quietly arose and stood before- hlm David pointed a tentative linger at the dlumonds upon her bunds. "You love those things?" he asked. "Why, of course," she answered, wondering. "I love every tiling beau tiful." She smiled at the roses upon her breast "I cover myself with roses, uud I cover myself with Jewels." "And you muy have for the wishing anything which money can buy?" l'uulu nodded. "Yes," she suld. David Jumped to his feet. "If I could say that," he cried, "I'd be the Bnpplest man in tho world!" Iler voice came to him softly, "Is there something, then, that you wish for bo very much?" He laughed shakily. "The moon, I think," suld David. "And," sbo persisted, "would money purehuso this particular moon of yours?" "Perhaps not," he answered, "but It would ut least give me a chiinco to try." I'nsHlouately be swung annual upon her "I'm quite tuiid tonight, Puulu," he suld tensely. "You ami your niindc have sent 1110 up into u fool's pHrndUit of lio. I wunt to tell you something, not of my love for you, you Imvo always known ibtil. Your father's nm'crss tins gut Into my blood, I'vi' Ihoutfht t lint If I could iliukit odd dnil 1 1 lit his nluy JM darn to roli'tt bu longing (hut's tiiimuiiiliiK ID) limt I Jm nt'H wbli' to ut'u j Utile wiiiii')', wiid-aml I'm koIiik li uiu t piuimu ir Uf uf uiiiiw tibvy H UvuH win mil I'll try Again and again. If It flocsn't" David paused "then I'll say goodby to you a little sooner. That s all." i Paula motioned him to a scat at her side. Her eyes had tuken on n strange, calculating glint, which reminded Ilournc forcibly of her father. When ' uho spoke her tone was calm and Im personal, like his. i "If jfou,8Uccccd," she asked, "do you Intend to ask me to marry you?" Da vid nodded dumbly. "Then," she went on, "I nui naturally Interested. You . have heard my oft given name, 'The girl who bus everything she wants.' You will llrst understand that I wish to keep that name." j David was conscious of a keen thrill j of disappointment. "I am merely hon- ! est," tho girl nodded, with n smile to remove the sting from her words. j "So," she continued hastily, "I ask a favor. Will you let me give you a 'tip' before you unjke this plunge? I mean," , she replied to bis look of amazement, "to get Information from my father I which I shall Immediately pass on to you." An Inscrutable smllo played ubout tbo girl's Hps. "Old man Men urds cannot fail," she quoted. 1 Duvid stared, wondering that the knowledge that she wished him to win ! should be so unpleasantly overwhelmed by the fact of her shrewd plan. "A balcony runs across one end of the exchange," she went on. "Father and I shall be there. You must stand be- ' neath, and ut the psychological mo ment" A Hush of excitement dyed her cheeks; her eyes shone. "I shall drop u red rose," shu suld. "And I," David answered slowly, "shall stake my all at the fulling of that rose." l'uulu held her hands out to him. "If you nre honest in your wish for the moon," she smiled, "you must trust I me." "Trust you 1 will. Now tell me what Is your tip. Am I to sell short or long? What is the security to be put up or down? Is It to be manipulated by u pool or uu Individual?" ' "I don't know what you mean by all this," replied I'uula, "though I havo heard futher tulk ubout 'pools' and, ' 'squeezing the shorts and all such un intelligible tilings. I only know that j I asked him as a favor to me to tell me where there was a chance to make ' some money uud how to proceed. He bus told me to sell M. O. I. What ' that Is I don't know." "I do. Goodby." And he turned 1 to go. i Impulsively she followed him to tho door. "And, remember, If by chance . my signal should full" she paused , breathlessly "well, I'm like my fa ther," said l'uulu. "I'm 'game I'll marry you to atone." ".Marry him!" With a contradictory sense of Joy and pain David went homeward through the night. When ut her busty summons he stood iigulii In the "pit," the hurrying messengers, the darting, uncanny figures on the walls, seemed all part of a dream. I'uula alone wus real, l'uulu hi the balcony with a crimson rose ut her breast. With ilxed Intensity he wutch ed her fuee, forgetting to return her smile. A moment's cessation in the babel seemed like the sudden silence preceding n storm; then swiftly, noise lessly, a red rose fell at his feet. An Instant It lay crushed and fragrant. David wus culling wildly for a messen ger, mindly his pencil llew across the paper, and here In the tiny folded scrap wero the tireless savings of years. When he looked up again she was gone. Mke one dazed, he ruaheit through the streets. "Old mun Rich nrds cannot full," he repented, "nnd j tomorrow -tomorrow" When "tomor row" cunie he sat before bis humble desk In the great man's olllee. Be neath Dnvid's eyes wero the dark cir cles of u sleepless night. About his mouth were lines which had not been there yesterday. Mechanically he reached for the telephone; then the blood surged to his face. "Yes," he niiKwered, with dllllculty, "I recognize your voice, Miss Richards, but I fear that the engagement for this evening must be canceled. You are awure, of course, that the signal failed, the sig nal of the rose." And Paula replied evenly, "I would like to see you, Da vid, and shall expect you tonight ntS." There wus a bright happiness about the girl's greeting which, In face of his great disappointment, caused David's heart to contract painfully. "The signal failed," he said dully. "Do you suppose that your father sus pected your purpose and sought to frustrate It?" Puuln's eyes met his steadily. "I de liberately acted against my father's advice," she told hint. "I gave you tho only signal which could be the right signal, If you wanted me." With unexpected passion she threw out her hands. "Do you think," she cried, "that I wanted you to be drunk with the wine of triumph, to win and go on winning money until you be came the hard thing that he has be come? Do you think that 1 want to live through the life that my mother found loo hard to bear? Do you think that I could be sutlstled forever with mere 'things' purchased for me by a love which hud turned to a 'love of gain?'" Her voice broke tremulously. "The girl who 1ms everything she wants," she mocked, "when all inyllfo I have wanted the one thing which money can't buy!" Tallin."

Via I Kum Iwf in I" A mm SERVING A SUMMONS By JOHN Y. LARNED When 1 wus u young mun studying luw 1 secured a legal position, the principal duties of which wero to serve papers on those who were sued for debt I had one experience that made me the laughingstock of tho town, .luson Parke as a boy wns the dure- devil of the place In which he lived. He was up to ull sorts of pranks, much to the annoyance of the older citizens, but which umused the youngsters. He . wns afraid or nothing and had u bcud I capable of enabling him to look down I from Immense heights. Hud he been ! born In Switzerland ho would doubt I less havo been u mountain guide. As It was, becoming an Ironworker, ho ' was often engaged in Joining together j the steel framework of buildings, nnd. some of them being skyscrapers, he wns obliged to work up in the air. .Jason was u favorite among bis com panions. He wns tender hearted, gen erous to n fault nnd suffered, ns such persons generally do, from spendthrift proclivities. Instead of laying up money for a rainy duy he run Into debt. One of his creditors, to whom ho owed I several hundred dollars, after vainly trying to-recover. sued mm, anu l was directed to serve the summons upon him. I was told that he was working on a kbrldge ncros a river. I went to Arch- vllle, where ho wns engaged, nnd to the bridge. It wus n cnutllever struc ture ncross n broad river and had not yet mot In the center. Parke bad got wind of the suit brought ngulnst him, nnd n lawyer had advised htm to keep out of the way so long us possible so that service upon him could not be secured. This I did not know; but. of course, I never gave away for what purpose I wished to see a person on whom I wished to serve a numinous. Inquiring of a workman where I could llud .Inson Parke, he looked at me suspiciously nnd asked what I wish ed of him. I replied that I had a matter of business with him. Looking ui ut nn iron structure extending from the further shore nearly to the middle of the river and a couple of hundred feet above the surface, ho pointed to a mun on the outer extremity, saying that lie was the person I wanted. I wns young, hntl u good head for heights and snw an opportunity by climbing out to where the man was to corner him nnd secure service. Hiring n boat, 1 pulled myself ncross the river, climbed the bunk nnd, walking Inland till I reached what would eventually be the floor of tbo bridge, walked to the llrst pier, then worked my way to ward my quarry. Not wishing to be seen by him In the effort I was making, I wns glad to crawl along the untloored steel string ers. He did not apparently notice me, going on witli his work, which was riv eting. I dared not look down for fear of losing my head and fulling Into the water, nnd I kept my eyes fixed stead ily on my mun. I must get near enough for It I in to hear my voice while I rend the summons, nnd since if he suspected my purpose he could hammer enough noise out of the steel to drown my volco It was necessary for mo to get very close to him. When I was 100 feet distant ho caught sight of me. He seemed sur prised to see one not a workman In such a position, but after a glance went on with his work, iwiylng no further attention to me. I was quite assured by this that be did not suspect my pur pose and climbed on, though every mo ment I dreaded dizziness. 1 had reach ed n jwlnt not twenty feet from him when he stepped off the Iron beam on which tie wns standing utid went down feet foremost Into the wnter below. I hud been balked. Quite likely Parke hud received u signal from the mun of whom I hud Inquired for him that I was coming and had thus been enabled to give me the slip. I had bad enough of the Job climbing out to sucli a place and had no mind for following him down Into the river. The moment he Jumped a bout put out from the shore, and the moment he rose to the surface be swum towurd It, wus taken aboard and curried to the opposite shore. My return to terra Anna was even more trying than my outwnrd climb, for I wns becoming dizzy every mo ment, nowevcr, I reached the pier without falling, and after that the danger was much less. On going down to the margin of the river I found that the boat I bnd come over In was missing. 1 did not doubt that every workman on the bridge wns In league with his fellows to warn Purke and to render my duty ns diffi cult uh possible. After much delay I secured ferriage. As I approached the shore I saw my quarry sitting on some Ironwork at the base of tho pier on that side of the river. He hud evident ly got on some dry clothing or dried In the Kim what he hud worn and was looking at me with apparently no con cern whatever. I wits then n licet run ner, uud n soon as my boat's nose touched the Nlmnt I xpning out and run for him llcforo I could get within hearing iniiiicii he hud vpriing Into the op"H Ironwork of (be pier mid wu (limbing upward like n monkey Hit did not slop (HI be Inn) reached n plat form H blindriHl fed uhovt, Ii hvIiik Iii below unplug ut him ami uri'i'l"! wild iimiI ut fHiilNi by I'tiry vitrknian t'Miiuf (Mi tin lirblpn.
