satisfaction that nothing else can." Walter said, "Robert, you always drift back to Marie and her eyes. Those beautiful black eyes that you talk about may be wonderful, but you remember the old saying, 'Can you be true to eyes of black or brown, when blue has smiled on you?' You will find that a change will come sooner or later if Marie doesn't show up and you will be the better for it." But Robert was sure that no eyes could ever take the place of Marie's and Robert handed Walter the following poem to read: HEAL THYSELF If any brown-eyed girl has changed her mind And left you sinking in the consommé, Calmly smile and let her go, you'll forget about your woe-- (There's a lot of consolation to be found in eyes of gray.) If any brown-eyed girl has left your heart In forty-seven pieces at your feet, Then the proper thing to do is to gaze in eyes of blue-- (And perhaps you'll find the same are twice as sweet.) If any brown-eyed girl has given you Your "exit cue," the "go-by" and "the air," And your heart in glad amaze'll heed the lure of eyes of hazel-- You can sing that song of Tanguay's, "I Don't Care." If any brown-eyed girl has--well, she did; Above, you'll find some good philosophy; It may do for you, I guess, but I really must confess It has never been a bit of use to me! Ben Warren. "The last verse expresses my sentiments to a T; no other eyes will ever have any attraction for me except Marie's." A few days after New York's reception to Colonel Lindbergh, Robert decided to get down to business. He visited his brokers in Wall Street, talked over the market situation and found that they did not agree with his ideas and views. Decided to open an office at 69 Wall Street, and Walter was to work with him when he had time from his studies. They consulted about a stenographer or office assistant. Walter had met Miss Edna Quinton, a very talented girl, whom he thought was the most competent he had ever known, so Robert gave her a position in his office. Walter was anxious to keep Robert cheerful so went sight-seeing often and to see all the latest plays. Robert was very much interested in the play, "The Student Prince." Was impressed when the old servant told the young King the old saying, "A promise keep, right well you sleep; a promise break, all night you wake." Robert knew that this was what caused the King to return to his former sweetheart, but when he gave her up and married the Princess, he was disgusted and disappointed. Told Walter that he would never break his promise for anyone; and knew that if he did, he would never be able to sleep soundly again. CHAPTER XVI Robert Gordon's Great Campaign in Cotto
