Miss Sophie, hi* Puritanical ii/ni, is highly incensed--until «he learns that Die establishment pays }jrhfin a huge rental. Paul visits the p/are incognito, falls for a hostess, pfadpJcine MrG one gal,'and takes her Wiome. Madeleine is unaware of Paul's mvealth, thinking he is merely a tcellfo- do farmer. Paul makes an appointment to meet the girl the following day to buy her some clothes. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The next afternoon, Paul took filadeleine to Dulcey's to have her >utfitted. "Mom said I was to be very re- • jepectful, Mr. Vanderkill," She said, she greeted him, "But to watch V"*°u 'i'te a hawk--especially cn a etaircase." Her eyes wandered over . to the steps leading up to the show v 'X' room. Then, gingerly, she extract- ' • ed the thousand dollar bill from her . ... J)urse. "And Mom said I was to * . {give you this." v ; Vanderkill closed'her hand ovet : ,;rtt gently. "My dear child--that's ~*vV; yours."' ' ,v-:' j "Mom said I was to insist." i 'Well., you've insisted." '• • «;s;. | "And Mflm said if I insisted an' you still wouldn't Wke it. to* put it back irt my bag--aii' bring, it hojrie ko her tonight---and be darned care- .K'yjful not to lose it." Paul chuckled. "Always obey your mother." He 'pushed the money '• -. Into her purse as she looked ap'at jhim with a twinkle in her eyes. "Okay. Paul." As they reached'tM steps, Madef Jeine remembered her mother's in ' junction and drew away a bit to jsee just whit a gentleman did on the stairs. Then she walked up at , jhis side. The next few hours were spent in jselecting a wardrobe for Madeleine, who thought the prices far too high and declared that bargains could be 1 'obtained on Fourteenth street. Paul insisted upon having her fitted at ; . Dulcey's and at Dulcey's she was outfitted. That completed, he took her to a penthouse apartment for • . dinner--and such a dinner it was! why it is and I don't want%) know, why it is. There's no rhyme nofj reason to it, and it's grand! It's--» I'm in love with you." | 'Oh--you mean--you want marry me?" j > Paul shook his head, "No." | "No!" she exclaimed. "I did**|j hardly think so " ' Vanderkill was solemn. "Yon ought to marry some nice, hardworking young fellow, and If you ask my advice, I'll tell you to do just that. But I hope you won% because I want you for mine." "I wonder why 1 love you SO much?" she asked. ( So Madeleine went to live wltlr Paul. Of course her mother could not understand, neither could hef < brother and sister; but who can understand love? For if Made!eii»« became an outcast from her own » home, of course her home was only a tenement .without many comfoft*. . She had moved into a palace with luxurious surroundings., There wer* no more nights at the dance hall.; For a -while her new life rkn smoothly. Her cup of ITappineM: was filled to overflowing. Each day She grew to love Paul more and more, and he likewise became more : and more i Actuated with ., thim" »trange girl, who gave up ev«*ything for him. , Then Madeleine was taken ill. Sbis' sent for the doctor. )He examined her and sm|led. "You ' should b® very happy,' he smiled. "Yeah?" Madeleine looked at him, "Well, what's one woman's good news is another gal's poison." "You mustn't be so rebellious, my dear. -Soon you'll be (lad, glad." "Mebee. I hope ao, -Doc," she said dully. "That's more like It- After all, the heavens won't fall down because of this. It's the most natural thine in the world." "Ain't it juSt?" "I'd like to talk to year husband in the morning^--for a moment or two ** * ' "111 tell him." . * \ "Now don't yo(l worry, my d«ar. "I'm in Jove with you!" said Paul ^ • (Posed by Xattcy Carroll attK. JoMi Bolti) Madeleine had never seen anything as luxurious. She ate heartily, for chopping had made her hurley. "Now I feel a lot better," she declared, as she finished. "So do I--Just being with you triages me feel better." Paul re- ' plied. Madeleine was radiant. "Honest?" She looked at the check, which the ; »waiter had presented. "Say, you've got a nerv-»!" She turned to Van- , flerkill. "Some jernt this--look! , Two dollars for ersters--they ehoulda thrown in some poils with .that!" Vanderkill smiled and gently took the check from her hand, and gave the money and check to the waiter, who went out, leaving them alone. Madeleine made herself comfortable . Dn a couch and Paul came over and stood near her. "You know, Madeleine, It was rather a coincidence--your asking for a pearl with your oysters--because here it is." He handed her a box with a large soiitaire pearl ring. She whispered in awed surprise. 1 • "Gee! You're spoilin' me." "Probably It's fun--^^being able ; to spoil people--if they're un- ,. spoiled." Madeleine held out her left hand and the rinjg. "Put it on--and make a wish---" «=* He obeyed. They kissed and looked into each other's eyes. At length Paul broke the silence. "J didn't know which you'd like better "--a white or--" He .drew another . box from his pocket. It contained a twin ring with a black stone. "I don't know which one is the. prettiest. Can I have my cherce?" He smiled and nodded as the girl examined thp rings and thought aloud. "The white one's me. and the black one's you." "The pure heroine and the deep' dyed villain," said Paul. She looked up at him. "round-eyed. "Are you a villain?" He smiled at her, "What do you ? think?" She held up the two rings, "Well --I think--I think I'll keep you*" She handed him the white pearl, holding the black one admiringly. He slipped the white one on her •.finger. * * "Don't separate us. Keep them both." , Madeleine tot up and walked to the piano. ' "Can you play?" he inquired. • Madeleine shook her head. Paul s;it down on the bench and started f the mechanical player. Then he lifted the girl and sat her on the piano. For a while he stared at her. She faltered a bit; "What--what is it ?" Paul spoke evenly, as though hypnotized. 1-je had his ey'es fixed on the girl. "I'm in love with you-- absolutely, completely, and insanely in love with ybu. 1 don't know Everything will be alb right. Qood night." . ' ' „ As he went into the other room, he met Paul just entering. "So this is the lucky man. Congratuto* tions." "Thanks! And what make* mfe SO lucky--eh--mister--er • " "Dr.--Dr Schultr." Paul, was alarmed. "Doctor!" He glanced involuntarily at Madeleine's room. "What's wrong, doctorT Anything serious9" "Dear me, no. No, indeed. What they refer to in the newspapers as a •" He snapped his fingers for remembrance, "eh--a blessed event." The doctor was quite pleased with himself for his wit. Paul was surprised and shocked. "Blessed event! This is a surprise." "Now, them's notRing for you to worry about." TITe physician chuckled. "I've been very successful with fathers. I never lost a one. a.'yVe've just got to humor tte little lady. She may be a little trying at tilnes." He patted Vanderkill's arm comfortably. "But it's nothing--nothing. Believe me. it's worth all the trouble and annoyance --take my word for it--well worth it." ,n -v- - The door opened and Madeleinecame but slowly. She dreaded to face Paul. "Just huifior the little iady--it"# best. • Congratulations--and good night."" * "Er--thanks. Good nights" The physician left. Paul closed the door after him. He pondered a whiie over the news and then, looking up. he beheld Madeleine. She was frightened at the .reception she would receive at his hands. Her face quivered as she faced him. He said nothing. She turned and rah to • the couch. She threw herself, upon it. face downward, and burst into tears." Vanderkill walked over to heh "Darling-^don't." "I'm so unhappy." she sobbed, liftiptr hor head and looking at him beseechingly. She took his hand and put it against her cheek. "I didn't want this to happen-- you gotta believe roe. Paul. I'm so .ashamed I know it makes It look like I was try in' to get a hold r>n you. but I wasn't. Paul, honest, I' wasn't! 'Yeu gotta believe me. 1 just--didn'f know no better---1 didn't know nothin'--anything, 1 mean, ex* cept I loved you." Vanderkill stroked her hair back from her forehead. "My poor child." "That's why I've been so afraid to tell you and all--because I knew you'd think I done it on purpose--" "Of course I don't think so." "An' if you'll find Out something for me--what I'm to do " Her voice fell. She rose abruptly and walked away.

ON IN WALL STREET "M&ii of Hour" Defies Power of Morgan. New York.--It looks like the banker's "battle of the century" maj be brewing In the Wall Street financial district. ' . ' A new "man of the hour1' has arisen to challenge the supremacy of the great house of Morgan, long king-pin of the country's banking system and -nenrby observers are predicting the greatest struggle of money titans in the history of American finance before the smoke of battle has cleared away. A "fight to a finish" is the foreword. The author of the startling defi is Winthrop W. Aldrieh, chairman of the governing board of the biggest individual bank In the world, the Chase Na.; tional, and a front rank captain of the Rockefeller Industrial-financial dynasty, generally acknowledged as the only worthy competitors of the Morgans on this side of the Atlantic. The challenge was couched in the form of a program designed to purge the commercial banking business of the taint of speculative leadership, aiming at , th(» complete separation ok deposit banking and investment banking even to the extent of forbtMin* pfivate bankers to take deposits dr.to be directors of banks of deposit. f\'V ... Aimed at Moreaii. It "did not take a second glance for Wall Street to recognize; the Aldrieh program which was promulgated directly in the wake of some of the most sensational exposures of the senate's investigatiob Into banking practices here as a blow aimed directly at the position of J. P, Morgan L Co., the meqibers of which are directors of some of the largest commercial hanks of the city and who hold Important foreign and domestic deposits. Three Treasures for curbing the power of the large private investment banking firms were proposed by Aidrich. 1. By depriving private investment. banking firms ff the right to accept deposits, mAe it necessary for the private banks to obtain credit from the commercial banks In flnanemg their security flotations. 2. By doing awny with the security -affiliates of the commercial banks, the proposed regulations would take away from the private banks outlets for the syndicating of their securities which in the past have been of such tremendous importance. 3. By removing all private bankers from their positions as directors of the commercial banks the changes would greatly reduce the jtrestige. Influence, and "inside information" available to the partners of investment houses at present. vWell informed students of the situation say that legislation applying these' innovations to Morgan & Co. and simy ilar private bankers would virtually strip them of the control- they have so long wiplded over the commercial banking system. # * J. P. Morgan & Co. does not accept Individual deposits but specialise* rather In big corporation accounts for foreign governments. At one time It is reputed to have held as much as a billion of »Uijlted States Steel corpor* ation money. Other' sa called Morgan hanks, like the Guaranty Trust company, Bankers' Trust company, and the First National also attract big doposits and wield tremendous power la the financial world. Obviously the "Morgan crowd" MB not lack ammunition for any defense it tnaf be called upon to make of It • politics, at least none that money caa command. Backed by Rockefeller. Nor will Its opponents go into thff fray--If one there Is to be--shabbily equipped. In its last annual statement, the"Chase National bank reported r<>- sources totaling $1,856,290,000 as of December 31 last, with deposits to the amount of $1,466,000,000. ~ In addition tp these mighty re1* sources of the, bank itself* must be reckoned the vast wealth of the Rockefellers, including their holdings in thfc great Standard Oil concerns. "Wall Street gossip has it that thfc Rockefellers have been girding "for eventualities," such as that envisioned in the present situation for the last two years. They have been liquidating doubtful assets and converting thfcr proceeds into good hard cash or gov* ernment bonds. On the other hand the value of th# so-calied "Morgan stocks," h^ve been: melting down steadily in the long receding sweep of the share market for the last two and one-half years. Winthrop Aldrieh was born ID THF purple in America's plutocracy. Hi* father was the late Nelson W. Aldjlch, senator from Rhode Island from 1S81. to 1911 and popularly rated as the senatorial custodian of capitalistic^ enterprise.
