SYNOPSIS.
Jackson Jones, nicknamed "Broadway"
because of his continual glorification of
New York'?> great thoroughfare, is anx
ious to get away from his''home town of
Jonesville. Abner Jones, his uncle, is
very angry because Broadway refuses to
settle down and take a place in the sui*1
factory in which he succeeded to his
lather's interest. Judge Spotswood in
forms Broadway that $250,000 left him by
lits father Is at hla disposal. Broadway
makes record time in heading for his
favorite street in New York. 1
CHAPTER III.?Continued.
A year passed. Broadway carried
three bank accounts, two of them not
very large and seldom checked upon.
The third was in New York's all-night
bank. He kept busy. "I feel as if I
ought to see the sun rise often," he
explained. "Sunrises are so beauti
ful."
He seldom heard from Jonesville in
- these days. Judge Spotswood some
times wrote to him,'his uncle never.
For a time he had endeavored to keep
up a correspondence with the girls,
hut this had languished through his
own exceeding occupation at more
pressing matters and Josie Richards'
sorrowful conviction that he did not
tell her, in his brief, infrequent let
ters, about all the girls whom he was
meeting in New York.
His first shock came when the All
Night bank wrote him a letter, asking
his to call and talk of his account, and
this did not occur until four years
) had vanished in the haze of Broad
way's lights. It made him sit straight
in his'chair and blink as a eold dash
from a seltzer bottle sometimes had
^ when he had needed It. Rankin, en
tering, asked him if he had a pain.
"You bet I have," said he. "And
rm afraid It's serious."
"Shall I call a doctor, sir?"
"No, call a banker."
Rankin, puzzled,- withdrew carefully.
He ha^d learned to step with catlike
tread when he discovered that his
master was In serious mood. He had
no wish to anger him. No butler in
the history of butling had ever had
a place" so utterly Ideal. Pickings
nlmHfnl' Trnrlr +Hv5nl? nil Hfp had
"been congenial for Rankin since he
had encountered Broadway Jones.
The day of the. bank's letter was the
first after hej had reached New York
when Broadway did not go about his
gay and simple routine of up Broad
way in the afternoon and down'Broad
way at night, with movements to
timed that they made long pauses near
the Circle ' and near Forty-second
street seem natural. He went home
before five.
When Rankin ventured to express
surprise at his return to the apart
ment at that hour, he snarled at him.
"Go to the devil, Rankin!" he sug
gested when he lingered.
"Yes, sir; thank you, sir," said Ran
kin and withdrew.
He Teached the kitchen with a face
so troubled that the Japanese boy, who
had sought domestic iservioe here with
(judging from his vages) the eom
mendable intention of patriotically
aending home, each year, enough
American money to build a warship
for his nation's navy, showed interest.
1 "W'at iss matturr, Ranekeen?" the
aympathetic Oriental queried.
"I know men," said Rankin, "and if
> I didn't know that Mr. Jdnes is really
a millionaire?made it out of chewing
gum, his family, I'm told?I should say
he was hard up."
The Japanese boy stared politely;
he did not understand at all.
"Of course he's not hard up," Ran
kin continued. "No hard-up man could
have sworn at me as he did just now.
It can't be money, so it must be
women."
"Limmin," said the Japanese, who
had not mastered w's.
"Lemons," Rankin granted. "You're
almost right. I never saw a man
more popular. He spends his mpney
i like he didn't care for it, and does it
well because that is the fact He
doesn't care for it. I never saw a
bed, I had a chance to see his arm.
Quite muscular it is?Just as it felt
when he was Joking with me."
The next day, by chance, while visit
ing the kitchen, Rankin had a sudden
inspiration. "I wonder if he is in
love?" he pondered. "That Mr. Hen
riot that I attended Just before he
married that grass widow was as ab
* aent-minded?oh. quite absent-minded,
> quite! Now, which one?"
Rankin suddenly came to a stand in
horror. Even to the small and very
yellow cook it was plain that tragic
thoughts had flashed into his mind.
"I wonder," he soliloquized if it
could possiDly De that terrible Gerard
old woman. She's had her eye on him
ever since the first night that she got
a glimpse of him."

An early suggestion has to do with

AY or GEORGE
I ed, was talking with the first vice-pres
ident of the bank. The man seemed
} rather serious-minded, although on
j that previous occasion when he had
marked the beginning of their ac
quaintance, when Broadway had gone
to open his account with Just two
hundred thousand dollars, he had been
geniainy useii.
"I merely wished to have a little
talk with you?er?Mr. Jones," said he.
"You know your balance is?er?run
, ning rather low."
"Is what?" said Broadway, in amaze
ment.
"Is running rather low."
"You don't mean that I've?"
"You've drawn rather heavily
against it," ^ K *
"But it was strong enough to stand
a terrible strain."
"Not quite strong enough to stand
without a protest the strain to which
you have subjected it, Mr. Jones. It's
not exhausted, but it*B?"
"Getting-tired?" Broadway himself

"About that. You have not been

thought perhaps you didn't realize the
figures. I've had them all made out
for you."
Broadway took one swift look at
them, then sank back in his chair and
took a longer look at them. "Well, I'll
be ? ?!" he ventured.
' "I was afraid you'd feci that way.
I only thought you ought to have a
hint of just how things are running.
Young men lose track of things some
times. I've known it to occur before."
Jackson scarcely saw Broadway
when he went out of the gray build
ing, and it was the first time he had
ever trodden Broadway without see
ing and admiring It
"Hello, Broadway!" cried a merry
voice from just beyond the curb. It
was a Monde voice, and issued from a
natty little motor car with a sedan
chair top. Broadway had bought that
motor car and given it to the blonde
voice. "Let me put you down some
where V
'I'm not. feeling very fit. You might
take me to the morgue."
i "JumD in: well make it the Knick
erbocker."
But the Knickerbocker had no
charms for Broadway a,t that mo
ment. He made his stay as brief as
possible in the bright restaurant
"Dollie, darling," he said gloomily,
"I don't need a restaurant,- todays I
need a hospital. How would you like
me, Dollie, honestly, if I was broke?"
"You? Broke?" She laughed.
"No; seriously. How would you like
me?"
"It's nonsense; but you know what
Shanley does to broken dishes."
"The ash can. Eh?"
"It wouldn't be. for you, of course;
but?what's the use of being Mr.
Grump? Brace up? Come on up to
Churchill's and we'll drinky-crjnk It
outy-out," .
But Broadway would have none of
such a plan as that He went to his
apartment, and. rummaging in every
drawer and pocket, collected every
bill which he could find. These were
a hundred of them, ranging In all
sorts of figures. and for all sorts of
articles, from diamonds to gasoline,
from .charity to faro. The arrival of
the sympathetic Rankin, who believed
his master had a headache, with a
note from Mrs. Gerard, interrupted the
bo>kkeeping which, for the first time
in tiiNiife, Broadway had begun. It
had noi" been encouraging, as far as
he had gone.
' He read the note and found it to be
an invitation. Deciding to accept it,
he decided, also, that it must be the
last one of the sort he must accept.
It had become intensely plain to him
that now had come the time when he
must cease his gaieties and find more
money.

Broadway defended rather hotly. An
idea, so terrible that it was fascinat
ing, had occurred to him.
"She might have gone to school with
your grandmother. It makes me sick
to see her ogle you. I think she wants
to marry you."
Broadway burst into a laugh which
he was well aware was quite too loud,
too cackly and too hollow; he feared
acutely that his friend would recognize
its falseness.
'To marry me! Ho, ho!" Instantly
his manner changedA "But I don't like
the way you speak about her, Bob.

"Now, Bob!"
Wallace burst into a laugh. '1 be

"You are trying to make others happy.
You smile on her as you would throw
a dollar into a Salvation Army cash

"Bob, I'm thinking about getting
married."
His friend sat straight and looked at
him in dumb amazement for a second.
"Married? And is grandma tn some
way related to the bride who may be?"
"Bob, I need?"
He stopped. Almost he had told his
friend he needed money; but he bad
not the courage. To confess poverty
on Broadway is like confessing mur
der in a church.
"Need what?"
"A rest. I'm going to?er?take
some sort of a vacation. Don't know
what Maybe back to the old home.
Anyway, you won't see me around for

could ogle you the way she did.
"Well, you won't see me for a week

"Drop me a line If you want any

Jackson Jonefi went away early on
the following morning. As ignorant of
business and of business methods as
a baby, yet he tried to scheme some
way by means of which he might re
coup his staggering finances. Wild
ideas, all unpractical, whirled through
bis brain.
He must have money, that was cer- <
tain. He had not the least idea of
just how he had accomplished it, but

i en In rleht to them?he would have far
less than nothing left
For days he stewed above his fig
ures in a room of which he kept close
guard upon the key. He told liankin,
who was curious, that he planned to
write a book.
"Indeed, sir? Fiction, sir?"
"Fiction? Gad, no! Fact."
"A book of travel, sir? I've traveled
quite a bit. Perhaps?"
"No. Or yes. Of travel up and down
Broadway."
"Splendid, sir, if I may be excused
for taking, such a liberty. I'm sure no
gentleman in all New York is more
familiar with the subject, sir. I shall
be glad to read it, sir. I'm sure it
will be quite a revelation!"
"Rankin," said Broadway earnestly,
"if I wrote what I really know about
Broadway it would be a revelation."
He grew very serious, for him. "It
would put some men on pedestals, and
they would not be those who now
stand highest. It would put some men
behind the bars, and among them are
some men who now are free to coihe
ana go, with welcomes when they
come and Invitations when they leave,
in every place where people gather in
this town."
He burst into a sudden laugh. "Great
stuff, eh, Rankin? When you Bay
'Broadway' you stir me up. I love it,
hate it; it always fascinates me.
There's no street like it in the world."
i "If your book is like' that, sir, it
will be a big success," commented
Rankin, spellbound. It's going to be
a fine bdok, Mr. Jones."
"It won't interest Broadway. There's
only one kind of book that Broadway
cares about"
"And what Is that, sir?"
"Check books, Rankin. Now I'm go
ing into?into-r-M He did not know
just what to call the room which he
kept locked. ,
"Your study, sir?"
JfThanks, Rankin. Yes; I'm going to
my study. Don't let me be disturbed."
'Til not, sir."
When he left that "study" he avoid
ed Rankin. His fingers were ink
stained from calculations, his hair was
quite disheveled, his eyes were wide
and rolling. He could see no hope
ahead. ^
He wrote a letter to his uncle ex
plaining that Investments had gone
wrong and that he needed a small loan
of fifty thousand dollars for three
months. He was sure that if he ?pt
this he would be enabled to find some
way out. By return of mail he had
an answer in an envelope which
strangely^ bulged. He opened it with
trembling fingers and a package of
Jones' Pepsin Gum fell out.
"Chew this and fnrcret it " nnlH the
cheerful note w^iioh Uncle Abner had
wrapped round it It said further:
"I'm going to Europe for five years.
Don't bother me again. You've made
you bed, now lie on It." ,
That was the last straw. Without
the least jdea of what he wished to
dp, the frantic Broadway started out
to find some work by which, at least,
he could earn honestly his board and
keep.
Wall street offered nothing, for when
he went down to see his friends there
his courage failed entirely and Instead
of asking them to find a place for him
he bought them, one by one, expensive
luncheons. v
He went to neighboring cities, hop
ing there to find some means of get
ting food to eat without getting it on
credit, and there he had some strange
experiences which lasted several days.
But, while he Just escaped the uniform
of the Salvation Army, he did not find
work and wandered back to Broadway,
the apartment and more debt.
He had no profession, knew no
trad a Half cra2ed with the obsession
that he must no longer run in debt,
he decided to sell out the fiat, dis
cbarge the servants and do menial
labor. Running through the list of
his abilities be decided, with frank
self-contempt, that abput the best
which he could do was help in a hotel
as bellboy. ' He knew top little absut
mathematics to keep b<oks; he never
would succeed as desk-clerk. But he
could not bring himself to try to get
a job of that sort?it would too often
bring him into contact with the folk
he knew.

an aimless funk upon a side street, he

Professor.
When Professor Vambery, the fa
mous Orientalist, whose death oc
curred recently, arrived at Sandring
ham on a visit he received a message
that Queen Alexandra panted to see
him.
He decided to wash his hands flrat,
so he went to his room and rang the
bell to ask Tor hot watef. No one
came, though he rang the bell repeat
edly.
Then there came a knock at the
door and a youth entered. "Do you
want anything, professor?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the professor, "I have
been ringing for some hot water."
"Wait a moment and I'll get you
some," was the obliging reply. The
boy disappeared, returning in a few
minutes with a large jug of hot water
which he placed on the washstand.
The professor thanked him and he
withdrew.
After he had washed the professor
nitely seized him in his tolls. The an
cient but yivaclous dame was very

was not motherly; she was flirtatious.
And she accompanied her coquetry by
a shrewd exposition of the magnitude
of her unquestionably enormous
wealth. It staggered him.
If he had not at the moment had a
Bimple little Josie Richards' letter in
his pocket he might have been swept
under. A thousand times he had dis
covered the necessity of assuring him
self, as he traveled up and* down
^roadway, that he did not care for
Josie Richards. She was not the sort
of girl who captivated one who knew
life as he knew it; she w$s dear, but
she was simple, unsophisticated and
what he most admired was wide so
phistication; he thought as little of
her as he could, but now she popped
Into his mind and made him edge away
from the aged, wealthy widow.
When he went back to the flat he
found awaiting him new sheafs of
bills, npne pressing him?mere state
ments. The rumor had not started
that he was not good pay. Broadway
still delighted in him, still endeavored
to induce him to accept its credit. This
gave him new distress; he knew him
self?hp knfiw hp would eo out that
night and ran more debts.
Suddenly he knew -what to do. It
came to him without an effort of the
brain. It was a-tragic Inspiration.
Without a word to Rankin, stealthily
and secretly, he went forth into the
afternoon in his smart runabout, still
driven by the taxi-cabman, who now
regarded him with something akin to
worship, and sought a gunshop and a
chemist's.
In the former he made purchase of a
large, grim, blued-steel automatic pis*
tol of the largest caliber they had In
stock, and secured one box of cart
ridges. It seemed a waste of money,
which by rights was definitely the
property of creditors, to buy so many
cartridges, for he should need but one!'
However, he feared that to ask for one
would pin attention to him and frus
trate what he had in mind, so he put
the heavy box into his pocket. It
madtf" it sag outrageously, which very
much annoyed him. No man on
Broadway was more careful of his
clothes. But what, after all, did a
sagged pocket matter now?
At the chemist's he secured an ounce
of bichloride of mercury, which had.
been fashionable of late among smart
suicides. He had no difficulty in ob
taining It This eased him and a fur
ther satisfaction grew out of the fact
that though it held potentialities as
deadly as the automatic gun and cart
ridges could hold It made a little pack
age, not' heavy In the least, and so
did not sag the other pocket, where he
placed it very carefully.
As he whirled uptown in the run
about he frequently felt of the deadly
things. '
He liked the feel of neither of them.
The revolver was so hard and busl
ness-like, the pill bottle was so slip
pery, bo cold and heartless! What an
end was this for Broadway Jones!
Again seated in the little study, he
solemnly reviewed his life. He sam no*
points at which he had mad6 very
great mistakes, save the important one
of thinking that a quarter of a million
is a lot? of money in New York.
"I've been nothing but a piker,* he
reflected, "and I've acted like the
trade-marked article. I oughjt to get
it in the neck and I am going to get it
in the neck." y
This unpleasantly reminded hjm and
he caressed the^ neck wherein he was
to get it Never,- in the past, when
he had used that slang expression had
it really suggested his own neck to
him or any other actual neck. Now
it made his fleBh creep and his blood
run cold behind his collar.
"Well, here goes!" he whispered,
and took out a pill, afterwards arrang
ing the revolver, which was already
loaded.
He held the pill between the fingers,
of a tremulous left hand; gripped in
his faltering right he held the weapon.
"Here goes!" he said again?and
Rankin rapped upon the door.
Hastily he hid the dreadful evi
dences of his dire intention.
"Come In!" he feebly called.

It seems a matter of universal desire
that poverty should be abolished. We

his "hot water" boy come up to the

"Ah, professor," Queen Alexandra

After that the professor nicknamed

May Investigate the Properties of

Columbia.?The committee appoint
ed by the general assembly last ses

phosphate properties in the state re
ported that it would not be profitable
for the state to operate the phosphate
properties at this time, but recom
mended that the state geologist and
commissioner of agriculture look into
advisability of the state's acquiring
limestone properties, in Cherokee
county and of operating them to the
advantage of the agricultural interests
of the state. The committee consists
of Senators McLaurin' and Hall and
Representatives McQueen, Wilburn
and Means.
The report In part'follows:
"On the 28th day of February, 1913,
the committee organized by electing
Hon. John L. McLaurin chairman, and
W. S. Hall secretary. It was deter
mined first to investigate the lime
stone properties around Limestone
Springs, in Cherokee county. It is
probably well known that the, most ex
tensive deposits of limestone in the
state are found here. The grade of
the limestone is high, and has . been
used for commercial purposes for
some 50 years or longer. The bed
runs northeast along Limestone creek
for about half a mile. Until recently
the deposit has been worked by the
Limestone Lime company and Gaffnay
Lime company. The former operated
three tubular steel kilns with a ca
pacity of about 300 to 400 barrels of
commercial lime per day. The latter
company owns two tubular steel
kilns, with a capacity of 250 to 300
barrels per day. The beds uncovered
in operating the kilns show an almost
inexhaustible supply of rock. The bed
operated by the Limestone Lime com
pany lies under an overburden of earth
ranging from 15 to 30 feet in depth.
At the lower plant of the GafTney
Lime company the rock lies from
three to six feet under earth. The
product was formerly hauled to the
railroad station at GafTney over a
dummy or dinkey line about a mile
