HOWARD BETTINGTON ('Betty1). "FLOYD UNWIN ('Tubby'). "ALFRED GIBBONS ('3 Brass Balls')." Gibbons handed it back to Unwin. "It's interesting," be admitted, "but not legal. It would have no value in a court of law. I tore my copy up years ago." Bettlngton reached for it and scanned the document "I'd forgotten all about it," he said. "Had you?" Gibbons said with a neer. "It may not be legal," he heard saying nervously, "but In a matter of old friendship the spirit counts, not the letter." "Which shows yon to be as foolish at forty as you were at twenty," said Unwin the financier. Bettlngton was conscious more fully jthan ever of Unwln's dejection. The hope which had sustained him seemed cow to have left him dull, broken and speechless. Bettlngton put his arm about the bowed shoulders. "Oh, Tubby," he cried, "are yon so poor a Judge of human nature as to come to Gibbons for help? If I had known yon were In need you might not Within have had this humiliation. this very week I've bought a camp and paid for it I conld hare deferred payment easily enough.

Gibbons would advance enough money to get them where they want to be. I'd pay it off little by little. I see I was wrong. He Is not the man we knew." Gibbons moved a little uneasily. The years he had almost forgotten awoke in bis mind with a peculiar distinctness. He did not tike to re member that he was the author of the document and executed it with the feeling that he was a beneficiary un der Its terms. He had thought noth Ing could stay Howard Bettington Id his fight for fortune. Even Tubb. Unwin, distinguished scholar, seemed more likely to make a name thar the undistinguished Gibbons.

"She knows a lot about his private affairs, I suppose. 1 wondered how you learnt ef the Memphis and Toledo road. Ion got it from her. Look here, Tubby. Tell her the chances of bright women in business are enormous ; they far exceed any jobs colleges offer. I may make a place for her In my organization if she is as bright as yoa say. Send her to see me tomorrow. If she's bright she'll make more nuney than her father." "This is one of the times 1 wish I had taken to commerce instead of art," Bettlngton commented. He had every sympathy with a girl who wanted more education; apparently Gibbons had none. "You'd have failed at it." Gibbons retorted. "Men of your kind always seem to think any fool can make a success of business and get where I am. I'm the sort who wins. Where would you be in a situation where supreme courage and resolution were required? I'll answer. You'd be found wanting. You've lived a remote life. If you haven't liked a place or a cli mate you've gone somewhere else, looked for something easier." Bettlngton smiled a little. "I don't know," he said. "I've been in some tight places in far corners of the earth and I have not always lost After all. Gibbons, what do you know of me or Unwin?" "I know," said the capitalist hotly, "tfiat one soets the security of a trumpery Job and the comfort of a pitiful pay envelope, and the other gets out of the fight by daubing canvases." His manner became less bellicose. "Don't forget to send the girl around. Ill see that she is sent right into my private ofljee and that's a privilege some would pay high for." His guests understood that the audience was over. Alfred Gibbons had no more Interest in them. In a sense, they were dismissed.

Among other activities the House passed senate bill No. 2, by Irvine, providing an appropriation of $15,000 for improving the capltol grounds. The House revenue and taxation committee refused to accept the Burton cigarette bill and the Fuller oleomas garlne bill, amending tax and sale provisions, on the ground that thej were not correctly drawn. The House passed the Leatham bill appropriating $12,000 for publishing constitutional amendments and $10,000 for the governor's contingent fund to entertain the conference of state governors in June. The House also passed the Smoot resolution providing that the state prison may be removed from Fait Lake county by a constitutional amendment.
