Rodney deflee hie father, and Mary la !
deeply touched at the lad's, genuine affeo- .
tied for her. Mary makes a financial bar
rels with Martin to encourage the son to |
so to work.
Ambroas Peale, press scent. meeU Rod
ney end agrees to go Into business with
the lad on s aalary baala Rodney haa
resolved to so Into the soap Industry and
buck the trust.
Rodney, Peals and Mary go Into the
soap trade together. Rodney then en
deavora to borrow flO.OOO as capital for
hie newly t ?
n?? of the "11 Soap company"
are opened, and they adverts It as "the
most expensive soap In the world." Psale
talks advertising continually.
The IS Hoap company finds lis expenaea
very heavy, and financial rocks loom
Their chief business seems to
kaVe been to spend money for advertising
under Rale's directions
An allseed oounteee. who has appeared
so the soens. desires to pureHkss the
French rights for ths sale of "11 8oap" I
and produces a draft for 930,000k which ahe
desires to have cashed.
"WbfTfou cheap grafter!" she cried I
IndlgnabUy, with a real Bowery ac
cent
"She spoke English !" cried Rodney,
and the countess suddenly covered her I
month with her hand, realizing for the
first time that the had given herself j
away.
"Suffering cats! She's a faker Rod
ney added. |
The counters agreed, shrugging her
ahoulders. - I
"So Is the draft Gee, you were
wjr ' J
"Well, you're frank anyhow," Rod
ney said to her. %
"Why not? It'a all cold now."
??What jvas the game, kid?" Peale
asked her taking a profeasional inter- ,
set |
"I was going to trim you for the $5,
00Q change from that draft," said the
countess. ? j
"But why pick on usT"
"I didn't start out to. You wished It
on yourselves," said the countess. "I
came to trim your' father. You re-;
member I wanted to see him. But I
looked no soft you thought yoh'd grab
me bff and sell me the French agency1
of your 13 Soap. I didn't think yonr
father could be as big a boob as you
were, so I changed my plana"
"Now I'm going to get the cops to
get jbuT snkl Peale kternly. I
*"I should burst into laughter!" cried
the countess. "Why, you pikers, I'm
on. Yoti're busted. You haven't got
any money, aud you have got a phony
company!"
"Now. see here,** expostulated Rod
ney. '
"Preserve It, preserve It." the count- 1
ese lbfsrfupted. "Don't forget I've uu.
derstookf everything yon two guys were
talking about." To Rodney she said:
"Kiss her hand; It's French stuff."
To Peale:
"Ah, there, you little lifo sarer."
To Rodney:
"The money wllb you? I'argent avec
?onst Gee. your French 1? rotten." !
To Pesle, who moved away from her:
"Shan r kiss her*"
Then she added arter a pause:
"Sehd'for the oops snd 111 hlow ths.
whole' thing to the papers."
She" rested her gloved finger* coolly
on hdr umbrella handle and surveyed
the two boys.
"Wtol, I guess we're quits. If you
had rfhy money I'd ask for s piece of
change to keep me quiet But as It Is
I esn'f waste tuy time."
"You're not Frcpcb at allT0* Rodney
queried.
"I was educated over there. Im
mense, wisn't I? You never tumbled
at all."
"But why the foreign stuff f* PeaK
Inquired.
"WeB. I can talk good French, bnt
my BngllAh Is punk," explained the
conntdds. ,
"Yod wou't say anything newT" Rod
ney pfeadeU.
"No, 1 ft>n't bit a fellow -when he's 1
down. Ahybow, we're sU In the same
elddg. Thfee fakes. I'D keep mom if
y?u do."
Oh, money, money] ' . '
So much for the $10,000. The $2,800
Wde no seerer. as wsi presently to
apreer. when Bllery Clsrti stuck his
hand In the door, grinning, and asked I
to see Rodhey a moment Peale could 1
hot help itettelng the change that kad
come over the countenance of Bllery. ?
Too seem very beeatiy pleased, Bl- 1

and promptly dropped her handkar

handing It to ber with a flourish.
"la tbere no one to take me to my
taxi?" abe cried next It waa a gen
eral Invitation, wlikh Ellery accepted
on the apot.
I "Theie American building* are ao big

marked accent tLan abe had used a
moment ago.
"Eliery, you take the connteaa/* aog

"Oh. I'd love to," aaid Ellery. "I

them. ^ . '?
"Thrtt Ukti. I'll k??p mum if you do.*

"So mn 1," mi id Ellery, adding audi
bly, "Hipping llule filly."
"You Hp?*ak the French?" the count

"No, Dot at all." gnld Ellery.
"A pltee."
"But I can spcuk German."

"Verguuegeu?"
"Yes," suld Ellery, relieved, "that's

"Au revolr, Mr. Martin," aald the
countess, look lug back at Rodney over
her shoulder. "Voum etes trop almable.
Je vou? rcmercie beau coup de votre
polltessc. Au revolr." Then In her
American accent ahe added to Peaio In
an undertone. "So long, kid, call me
up sometime."
And cliatteriug a stream of Germnu
to Ellery, she went out.
In fact, Itrull went, the $2,.V?0 and $10,
000 together. I'eale viewed the two
depnrtlug figures sadly with mixed
emotlous. She was a ripping littlo Ally
indeed, that "countess," as that silly
was Clark had said, but the silly bbs
was having a ride with her now in
a taxi, and the clever man, Ambrose
Peale, was staying behind worrying
about hin advertising bills. Oh, money,
money!
CHAPTER XI.
A Visit From Father.
DURING this trying mouth old Cy
rus Murl In. the soap king, bad
sat in his library in Fifth ave
uue. or in hla swivel chair at his
office, aud wondered how tblugn were
going with the boy anyway. From
such information an reached him, be
waa not jo eucouraged as he would
have iiXed to be. A mouth waa not
long cuough to tell, of course. In Ue
normal course, of things, but thai fool
advertising made another matter of It
Those huge billboarda and electric signs
and balloons and sandwich men ? piffle '
all of it, but Martin knew what such I
things lost, and was sure that Rod

noyed too. These abominable sand !

arrested that afternoon ^Th the avenue.'
He couldn't stand it. People might
know who were in this ridiculous 15
Soap company, and he should be well
laughed l
Another and contradictory thing waa
the rumor he had befi*d downtown yes
terday that the An trover Soap people
were backing Rodney's company, go

he deckled he would drop dowu ami
give the boy n call at his office. It
wouldn't be bad to see him again, and
Mary Orajson too. So he presented
himself at the new soap company's of
fice, on Broadway, and was kept wait
ing for hla pains. A Miss Burke took
In. bis uame. and he guessed that It
caused some excitement, for be could
