"Slip me the recipe; | can use some myself,” returned Ripley languldly. His tools needed no arranging. They were all upon his drawing board, scattered about where he had left them the night before. “Well, the fundamental principle of it is to discover an economic waste and stop it,” explained Dick, rubbing vigorously the edge of his T square, “That's a grand idea, but scarcely & discovery,” commented Ripley, with the kindly superciliousness which any extremely wise man bestows upon youth and inexperience, “It's one of the two standani ways, though; the other one is to steal your fortune under the full protection of the law, What's your economic waste?” “Milk delive.,,* stated Dick, and paused to enjoy Ripley's surprise over the simplicity of this road to wealth, There deing no surprise to enjoy, Bowever, he presently went on, & @tfle disappointed: “I counted seven afk wagons passing my window this ‘@erning, It took all those seven wagons to deliver probably not over even pints of milk in our block, Pat's an atrocious waste!” My. Ripley threw back his shov'- “@ete and protruded his most impor- tant ourve, while the light of a great Qatelitgence dawned tn his cye. “That business,” he said impres- aively, “should be 60 aystematized that one wagon would deliver those eeven pints of milk.” “Exactly,” agreed young Vale en- thusiastically, “And think of the ex- tent of the business! I saw the fig- ures the other day. A thousand milk dealers deliver thirty-six thousand dollars’ worth of milk every day in thia city.” Both of them etopped to contem- plate those fancy figures as one might eye @ juicy peach before biting into it; young Vale with sparkiing eyes, ang Mr, Ripley with the grave frown of a man of tremendous business af- on tidy Uttle total,” declared the entieman; “a commerctal eral worth looking into, Of course, I have other projects in mind, Vale; but I'm very glad you brought this to my attention, I car see that I shali enjoy the promotion end of “Ppat's the part which scares me,” confessed Dick, “Have you had avy lence in promotion?" ae I” exclaimed Mr, Ripley, expanding his chest. ‘I don't like to brag on myself, Vale, but promotion fs the real business for which I was cut out. Some of these times I'll tell you about a few of the rich schemes Y've pulled across; but just now go ‘on with your plan of action, and I'll tell you whether it'# any good or not.” Young Vale paused to realize what ‘an amateur he must seém to thie nipely experienced commercial jug- ay plan, at first, was to form a milk dealers’ exchange,” he sald, with considerable diffider “Each deal- er would furnish a list of his deliv. eries, and, by comparing these lists they could trade customers, so that each man would get all his calls bunched in one neighborhood.” Mr, Ripley shook his head. nd quarrel about their “They’ \ be declared, “and your could make his deliveries in half the time, “Tine, alwaya remember, Vale, ts money,” announced Mr, Kipley, with complacent air of having invented that eplggam upon the instant; and hanging @ fat thumb in the armpit of his shirt, he thumped Mis fat fingers over the apot where his heart beat true, “How did you propose to cul. ject ™ expected to charge every dealer $5 per year per wagon; but I wave up that plan when I came to figure tho total income, I suppose there are only about fifteen hundred wagona, It would scarcely be enough to make the attempt worth while.” Mr, Ripley paused thoughtful figuring, “Why, boy, you'd only have sevan- ty-flve hundred dollars a year Bross income if you collected your five upoa every wagon now in use," he pro. tested, in pity, “Deducting for ex- venses, you'd have scarcely more thar five thousand .. year, or a paltry little hundred dollars a week." “I'm only making forty at present, * Pick reminded him. “1 could get married on a hundred; but 1 think @ good organizer could make more than that by vonsolidating the of the city.” “Consolidating the dairtes!"” claimed Mr. Ripley. “By Jove, thats @ good idea! You're right, Vale, man can get married on anything, but he could have some lugs of a wed- ding on five hundred a week."* “Five hundred!” protested Dick. “Do you think {It would amount to that much?" “Kive hundred a week," repeated Mr. Ripley, and smiled in a most superior way. “Five hundred aplece; &@ thousand a week all told; Afty-two thousand @ year, net profit, tor just little us,” and Mr, Ripley beamed eeraphically at the ceiling. “Leave 't to me, Vale, I don't deny that you've evolved the germ of a great scheme; but to milk it of its full possibilities requires the finivhing touch of a com- for @ome dairies el WHAT'S WRONG Now 9 | Vitor JS /é294, He. cons ex: in knowing you at this crisis in my ' life,’ “We are both lucky,” admitted Ripley graciously. “I have been hunt- ing a long time for an opportunity worthy of my mettle, and you have brought it to me. Where you win is that its possibilities run inte the millions, and 1 could not tamper with less." A short, thin, nervous man, with a hard eye and a bristly mustache and pugnacious cheek bones caine bus- tling into the office and jerked from his pocket a narrow portfollo filled with neatly folded documents, most of them soiled upon the edges, “Is Mr. Ripley in?” he demanded. The commercial expert cayt one glance at the hurd eye and the tell- tale portfolio, mercial expert,” and here Mr. Ripley Bazed into his vest-pocket mirror “Ripley was discharged yesterday,” with fat complavency. he said, squashing his forward aro “Yos, I realtze that,” admitted young Vale, ashamed now of the timidity of his expectations, “I'm glad you think the discovery a good one, though, How would you set about to organize it?” Mr, Ripley pursed his lips and cocked his head to one side in mas- terful thought, “Consolidate the entire dairy tn- terests of the city,” he replied; “con- trol the consolidation and eventually own it." He paused a moment to Himself admire the simplicity of this solution, “A business handling @ gross revenue of $36,000 a day—let's seo; how much as that @ year?” With shining eyes and eager fingers young Vale made the necessary mul- tiplication, “Thirteon million one hundred and forty thousand dollars!” he announced In awe, ; "Very good,” approved the com- mercial expert. “Let us disregard the trifling three million odd, A busine handling, say, conservatively, $10 000,000 a year is well worth my ef- forts and yours, And I may say right now, my boy, that that business 1s ours, Yours and mine, my boy, every shred and scrap of it; ours from this very minute," and he clapped his hand in fatherly responsibility upon his young friend's shoulder, “You don’t mean it!” gasped Dick incredulously, “Not actually ou and at once! I seems Imposslb “Perfectly ." declared Mr. Rip. ley, now thrusting both thumbs in his armpits and twiddiing his eight sausage-shaped fingers, “Give me three months and I will deliver the entire dairy business to this city into our hands, I guarantee this, Dick, Within ten years wo shall be worth $10,000,000 aplece;” and he thruat forth his good right hand tn token of a solemn vow. In deep gratitude, Dick grasped as much of that hand as he could, “Ripley,” he ) In a voice trem- bling with emotion, “I cannot be suf. Aclently thankful fos my good luck agers of theis own plants, and got Upon the edge of his table, placing his spherical hands upon the far cor- ners of it, and beaming courteously upon the stranger, “He sald he was going to Chicago." “He did, eh?" snapped the nervous little man, making a hasty memoran- dum upon the back of one of bis doc- uments, “Well, the Pinkling Collec- tion Agency will get him there as well as hero if he goes into this busi- ness. He owes the Hubbard Laundry four-elghty, and it’s a four-months- old bill’ He popped out of the room and slammed the door bebind him, and W. J. Ripley amiled ® reassuring stile straight into the shocked ooun- tenance of Mr, Vale, “That's the way to serve ‘om,” he declared, as one having a just griev- ance, “Got the money right in my pocket; but they're so impertinent about their cheap Httle bill that I'm going to make them all the trouble [ can, But now about this milk scheme, To do this right needs polit.cs, and that's another reason you were lucky in coming to me, You may not know, it, but I have a strong pull in this town. I know Sledge.” “Sledge!” ejaculated Dick, repeating with awe the name of the notorious Political leader, who w: aid to have the city by the throat; and the State too, for that matter, “Close personal friend of mine,” as- serted Kipley glibly, “Calis me Rip. Well, I'll see the Big Boy this noon and fix it all up. Of course I'll dope out the actual operating plan on my way down to lunch, and while I'm talking with Big Ben himself; but you may tell me what you had thought of doing in the way of organigation, It might give mo the germ of an Idea for some trifling detail at le a “L guess I'm very presumptuous,” stated Dick diffidently, “but [ had thought of organizing a big consoli- dated dairy company, buy out all the dealers, and pay them with stock in the corporation, leaving them as man we Mie Wie We lita Mig Vaeigy ie ‘ We el, Ulmes - Wie! eatel naendiacvm)) pate BING Bust IT! iS SHB ONS 1@ 3 1 + C3 them to make me general manager 4nd voto me some stock for my aer- vices in organizing and promoting. I should think that I could be logitl- mately pald for having conceived such @ company and having brought it together.” “The usual price for that service Is 51 per cent, of the stock,” immediately replied Ripley, who knew all the muckraking articles to heart. “There'd be some class to Gl per cent of &@ $1,000,000 stock company.” “I hadn't thought of one that large,” returned Dick, startled, “Outside of Armand, the one big dealer, the entire property value of all the dairies now supplying the city Is not over $800,000, according to the newspaper article which I mentioned.” “Then it will have to be a $2,000,000 company,” Ripley informed him, again having in memory his muckraking lit- erature, “It would have to be that large to allow for the proper amount of water, The usual formula is about six parte of water to one of cash value,” “I guess that about right, from what I've read," agreed Dick, with @ troubled frown, “I had hoped to form this company, though, without any water in it; but in that case I don't suppose I could get any stock for pro- motion, The company wouldn't need to be as big as you say, howover, be- cause a lot of the dairies would not come in at all, Wo'd have to freere them out, which would be @ food thing, I know, for they are conducted most unhyglenteally, We would con- centrate the rest of them, and, by this concentration, save the labor of many men whose tline ta neither fully nor systematically occupied. We would be able to furnish a better quality of milk at a lower price, through our systematized delivery and other econ- omies, and still mako more money than the aggregated dairies do at present.” “Why lower the price of milk?" protested Ripley, already resenting the loss of any of his wealth, “We could even raise it if wo possessed @ monopoly, and begin rolling to wealth at once. Did I say ten mil- Mon aplece? A hundred million, my boy! Not a cent less, for we'll ex- tend our plan of operation to other cities, form tho Consolidated Dairy Company of the United States, spread to other countries with the Interna- fenal Dairy Products Company, and why, my boy, did I say a hundred million?
