Excerpt: ...house, Jeff. You ought to know that. Your father is far from being Judge Rossmore's friend. Surely you have sense enough to realize that there are two reasons why he would not raise a finger to help him.

His life has been devoted to money making and he has made a greater fortune than any man living or dead. He is only what his life has made him. He has a good heart. And he loves you-his only son. But his business enemies-ah! those he never forgives." Jefferson was about to reply when suddenly a dozen electric bells sounded all over the house. "What's that?" exclaimed Jefferson, alarmed, and starting towards the door. "Oh, that's nothing," smiled his mother. "We have had that put in since you went away. Your father must have just come in.
