A droll Idea entered Mansfield’s
I head. He was not without humor. So
he returned to his desk, looked into
I the telephone book, and called a num­
ber. A woman’s voice answered.
"I wish to speak with Mr. Cathewe."
"Just a moment, please.’’
Three or four minutes passed.
"Hello!
This is Mr. ^Cathewe.
What do you wish to speak to me
about?"
"I w’isn to ask you some questions,
I frankly. Why do you hate me?’’
"I do not hate you. My attitude is
absolutely impersonal.”
"That’s blunt enough. What would
you say If I expressed the opinion
! that you carried out your part of the
bargain, and that the hour hud ar-
i rived for me to carry out mine?’*
A long pause.
"Events have made that impossible.
I release you.”
I
"You do not hold me, then? Still,
I am a good loser. I will introduce
you to my daughter.”
"Between your daughter and me there
. is the space of two worlds. 1 regret
that folly on board the ship. More­
over, I am a poor man. Every dollar
I have in this world I earn by honest
labor.”
"I don’t quite get that. I have been
duly Informed that you have on de­
posit nearly half a million.”
Another pause.
"That money does not belong to me,
Mr. Mansfield.”
That was the end of the conversa­
tion.
Mansfield then wrote two letters.
The first was local. It was to the chief
of police. It demanded as quickly as
possible a good photograph of Brandon |
Cathewe. It did not matter how It was |
obtained. The second letter was di- i
reefed to a celebrated detective agency
in New York. The best man they had
was wanted Immediately.
"Dinner is served, sir," announced
the butler from the doorway.
"Is Miss Betty down?"
"She begs to be excused, sir.”
Mansfield ran upstairs and rapped
on tiie door of his daughter’s boudoir.
"It is father, Betty. Are you ill?"
"No, daddy. Just tired and head­
achy.”
"May I come in?”
He heard the key turn in the lock,
and ho pushed In the door. He saw |
Instantly that she had been crying.
“I ... 1 saw that article In the
Herald," she sobbed. "It made me
wild with fury. After you have done
so much for Bannister!"
A warm glow pervaded bls heart.
"You mustn’t waste any tears on
that twaddle, Betty. It's just politics;
it’s all a part of the game.”
“Come along to dinner. I’ve got a
surprise for you. I’m sending for your
aunt, your mother’s sister. You ought
not to be the only woman in this big
' house. Your aunt is a charming wom-
! an. And there Is one thing, little lady,
I want you always to remember: Your
j mother’s fortune makes you rich In
' your own right. Do as you please with
It. And when the day comes ami you
i find a man of your fancy,* marry him.
I 1’11 trust you to pick out one worth
while."
lie laughed, tucked her arm under
bls, and led her to the stairs.
Around about ten that night you
would have found her on the floor be­
fore her boudoir fire, reading her let­
ters. She would read so far Into a
letter, and then a picture would drift
in between: blue sky, blue water, the
vague scent of clover, and an odd
young man bending over flat stones.
She wanted to throw the letters into
the tire. It was Imposible. She knew
that she would have regretted the act
throughout her life. But to find some
way out of the thralldom!
She put the letters in a Florentine
i box, which she restored to a drawer.
She was about to close this when her
eye was attracted by a slip of paper.
It was a typewritten list of the bonds |
and stocks and ac< umulated funds of
v hlch her private fortune consisted.
Away down toward the etui she came
upon something which she had not
noticed previously: "Fifty shares the
Bannister Morning Herald I"
•‘The only way you can break an
editor,” she murmured, "is to buy his
Sheet and turn him adrift."
Thereupon a great and glorious idea
popped into tier head.
CHAPTER V
George Cottar.
Mansfield could not rend. He tossed
his volume upon the table and got up.
He lighted n cigar; then he went into
thr hall for hla hat and topcoat. He
left the house through the conserva­
tory doo?.
It was moonlight, and a stroll about
th«' gardens might settle this unusual
mental turmoil.
He passed along the aisles of rose
bushes. **nere were still s«une flowers
in blvom. He pushed through the
bushes to the next row, where there
was a magnificent pink Arends. He
cut It with his penknife and drew it
through hla buttonhole.
He threw
away his
-coussmed cigar. Ibea
he glanced again at Betty’s window.
It was dark.
In the very center of the gardens
was a marble basin, with a faun seat­
ed at one end, his pipes emitting thin
streams of water. The tinkle of the
water sounded pleasantly on Mans­
field’s ears. Pipe tobacco; and good
tobacco, too. One of the gardeners’?
No; they all smoked abominable weed.
"Who's there?” he demanded sharply.
The shadow began to move. Mans­
field, being in vigorous health and
sound of wind, run along the path. He
made a short cut. and arrived at the
sidewalk as the other ran across the
street diagonally. This maneuver set
his face under the full glare of the
street lamp.
Mansfield stopped. Cathewe, prowl­
ing around in the gardens? The fool,
then, was really in love with Betty !
He could give up the woman he loved
for the sake of an ideal—an ideal
which, if pursued unfalteringly, might
break her father.
Mansfield returned to the house,
his usually cold and precise brain off
its balance. The whole affair was so
absurd that It resembled a dream
rather than a reality. He hung up
his tint and coat mechanically, plucked
the rose from tiie buttonhole, and pro­
ceeded to his room immersed in
reverie.
He had missed something. No; It
wasn’t romance. He had had his fill
of that—in steel. He knew what he
had missed. It was the thing that had

and Prophecy.
of Punch
lured that fellow Cathewe to come
prowling Into the gardens, merely to
stand under Betty’s window. Love!
Slowly he rose, picked up the vase
in which he had placed the flower,
tiptoed Into the hall, and set it before
Betty’s door.
Next morning Betty came Into the
breakfast room with a joyous rush.
She was as pleasing to the eye as a
summer cloud; in a filmy white, a
pink boudoir cap on her head, and the
rose pinned to her bodice.
"Daddy Mansfield, did you put this
rose by my door?”
He could not answer her directly.
“I thought perhaps you had gone to
bed. There won’t be many more this
year."
She walked over tn him and stooped.
"You may kiss me for that." He took
her head between his palms and
kissed both her cheeks, soundly. She
ran back to her chair and began to
volley French at him.
Finally he
laughed.
“You’re too much for me. My French
Is motor truck style.”
"Daddy, I want to go back to
France."
"But I need you, honey!" he cried.
And as the words passed his lips, the
miracle lay revealed. That was it, he
needed her.
"Why do you need me, daddy?”—in
a kind of terrified whisper.
"Because I love you. Because I’ve
only Just found it out."
•

•
Cathewe’s newspaper, for all that It
was losing money daily, was a suc­
cess. Its editorial opinions began to
be copied far and wide across ths
land. He thought and wrote clearly
upon all subjects. His editorials wern
full of punch and prophecy.
But he was losing money. He had
heard tales about Moloch, and now ha
understood. Each additional boost to
his circulation made a corresponding
loss. Without the local advertise­
ments this ascending popularity was
becoming more and more costly. And
any day his stockholders might sell
out. This would not nullify his con­
trol. but it might add infinite confu­
sion, internal warfare.
So far he had won two big battles.
He had made the health department
an efficient organization and be had
blocked a deal by the local traction
company (Mansfield’s) to charge a
six-cent fare. And he had made the
last election of Mansfield's congres­
sional candidate extremely difficult.
At noon one day in October Cathewe
came down for bls breakfast, a frown
between his eyes.
"What is It, sonny?" asked h'«
mother.
"What Is what?”
"The meaning of that frown."
"Oh, well, I had a curious experi­
ence at the office last night. I heard
an ahem and looked up. Bang! w*nt
a flashlight; and before I could re­
cover from my astonishment, the pho­
tographer had vanished. Took a pic­
ture of me—stole It. But I can’t let
that worry me. I must get that new
book done. Our funds are getting low."
Shortly after, he entered his study
and closed the door. She saw no more
of him until four, when he signified
that he was off for a walk in the hills.
He had not been gone more than
I twenty minutes when Nancy’s smart
runabout stopped at the curb. Two
or throe times a week she carried
I Mrs. Cathewe off for a ride in the
country.
At the same hour today father’s
chariot of mercy rolled under the
Mansfield porte cochere. But more
of that anon.
Mrs. Cathewe had to change, so for
a few moments Nancy was left to her
own devices. She saw the study door
wide open and stepped across the
threshold. Books were scattered over
the floor, the air filled with the strong
scent of tobacco, a desk littered with
paper, a wicker basket filled to the
brim with closely written sheets, a
waste basket choked with crumpled,
discarded efforts.
The one thing that had a touch of
orderliness was the stack of blank
paper arranged before the empty
chair. She could see that something
had been written on the top sneet, so
she bent to see w’hat it was. A name,
repeated many times.
"George Cottar," "George Cottar,’*
repeated perhaps a dozen times.
"George Cottar!" She spoke the
name aloud. A pile of manuscript
and the name George Cottar! The
illumination left her temporarily blind­
ed.
The Brushwood Roy—George
Cottar—Brandon
Cathewe!
Why,
Brand was the novelist; and hiding
his light under the bushel like this!
What did that signify?
Impulsively she reached down Into
the waste basket and picked up one
of the crumpled sheets, and smoothed
it out. A rejected sheet; he would
never miss it. So she folded It and
put It in a pocket. Then she stole
forth, her eyes shining and her cheek«
a flame.
Mansfield had nn odd experience—
for him—that afternoon.
A repre­
sentative of the local merchants called
to ask him to release them from their
promise regarding the boycott of the
Merabi.
"We nre sorry, Mr. Mansfield." he
announced, "but we can’t carry this
on any longer. We don’t want to of­
fend you or lose the trade of the
thousands you employ, but we have
come to the conclusion that It would
be far more profitable for us to cater
to the other seventy-odd thousand and
let your people go. What answer shall
I carry back?"
"That they are under no further
obligations,"
answered
Mansfield
quietly.
“Our thanks. Mr. Mansfield. Wa
shall renew our co (tracts with t
Herald at once."

In the year 1819, two babies were
born whose lives were destined to
have a far-reaching influence. One
was born In a stern castle of Old
England, the other in a humble
farmhouse In New England.
Queen Victoria through her wis­
dom and kindliness during a long
and prosperous reign has become en­
throned in the hearts of the British
people. Lydia E. Pinkham through
the merit of her Vegetable Com­

homes.
Philadelphia, Penna.—Mrs. Caro­
line Nagy, of 2717 Sears St., in a
recent letter to the Lydia E. Pink­
ham Medicine Co., says that after
her child was born she was in a
very weak condition. She could not
seem to regain her health and went
to her mother for advice. She told
her to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege­
table Compound, as it had helped her
when in like condition, and it has
helped her mother also. So Mrs.
Nagy started taking it. She felt bet­
ter after taking the first bottle,—
after taking six bottles her weak­
ness and other troubles disappeared,
and she Is never done praising the
Compound.
In some families the fourth gen­
eration is learning the merit of

WHY
General Motors Cars
are sold on the
GMAC Plan
1 BECAUSE many people prefer
to purchase cars out of income
and General Motors wants you to
get value for your automobile
dollar—whether you buy for cash
or on credit.
2 BECAUSE, being operated by a
member of the General Motors
family, the GMAC Plan assures
sound credit service designed to
hold good will.
3 BECAUSE, under the GMAC
Plan, the cost of a General Motors
car purchased on credit is the
standard cash delivered price, plus
only the low GMAC financing
charge.
The GMAC Plan is available only
through General Motors dealers.
It may be comfortably fitted to the
individual requirements of buyers
with assured income. Your nearest
General Motors dealer will ex­
plain its advantages.
Tribute Seems Rough on Wedding Finery
Illee and confetti, for nse niter wel­
ding ceremonies, both hnve their op-
ponents. hut they seem preferable to
the coal dust which, we are told, was
thrown at St. l’ancras recently after
the wedding of a coal heaver and his
bride.
ltut the Idea of this occupational
tribute Is not quite new ; some years
ago a confectioner and his bride were
pelted with the little sweets which
are known as “hundreds and thou­
sands.” The Idea might be endlessly
extended—tea leaves for the grocer,
sawdust for the joiner, chopped suet
; for the batcher, buns for the baker i
■ buttons for the draper, orange peel
I for the greengrocer, and pllU fur the ,
doctor and chemist. In the case at
writing people and journalists, pv*.
sumably all their friends would turn
up and empty their fountain pens at
the bride and bridegroom.
