luiKli, while crossing a Chicago
street, cuuscs the vrck of an auto,
whose clitiulTcur disables It trying
to avoid running him down. In
pity tho occupant of the auto, u
young girl, saves him from nrtust
and gives hi in a dollar, telling him
to buy soap, and wash. Ills boiiho

CHAPTER VI.
FItzhugh began to fret nnd fume nt
his Irksome employment. Ho was
coming to believe he had made a mis
take In adopting such slow means to
an eagerly desired end, when, In the
fifth week, something occurred that
dispelled his growing pessimism. It
Was a warm Suturday night, and
when lip came from the broiling
kitchen with his coat under his arm,
dripping with perspiration, his em
ployer met him and handed him eight
dollars, five of which he promptly
placed between the leaves of his sav
ings bankbook, which now showed a
balance of twenty dollars.
As ho nodded good-night to his em
ployer ho noticed a hatchet-faced man
In a checker-board suit on ono of the
lunch-counter stools. Before FItzhugh
reached Van Duron street this man
confronted him and, smiling as cor
dially ns his hard face would penult,
asked :
"How much does the Greek pay
you?"
"According to my desert, my solicit
ous friend. I draw the munificent sal
ary of eight dollars each week."
The questioner pushed back his hat
and chewed his cigar. And his head
bobbed up and down as he scunned tho
dishwasher from top to toe.
"I s'poso you'll do," he finally do-,
clJed. "Come 'long to the next block.
Got Kome'ln' I want to show you."
He led tho way up State street, and
near Jackson boulevard stopped be
fore a gold-and-whlto restaurant, glit
tering with electric lights, brand new
and spick and span. Across tho plate
glass window In letters three feet high
was the name, ".Max's."
"See that? That's me. I'm .Max."
He tapped his chest proudly, "You've
got to make that name famous. Un
derstand me? Famous 1 Come I Como
'long Inside and I'll tell you all 'bout
It."
They went In, and Mr. Max outlined
his plan. ISrletly, it was this: FItz-
hugh, after a visit to a barber, was to
apparel himself In distinguished garb,
and with mi aristocratic demeanor,
was to promenade State street for live
hours dally. Painted in white letters
on the back of his frock-coat would
be the mime "MAX'S."
"Urn-hum," observed FItzhugh,
drawing rellectlvely on Ids cigar. "How
much do I get for this?"
"Well, let mo set say fifteen a
week. How's that strike you?"
"Not favorably. Make It thirty and
tho deal' closed." And even as he
spoke FItzhugh was wondering If his
beard sufficiently disguised him. Ho
decided It did. llesldcs, there were
the theatrical possibilities of tho
thing, and this appealed strongly to
tils lovo for' make-believe.
After some further bargaining it was
agreed he was to reccivo twenty dollars
the first week and, If employed longer,
thirty dollars each for all subsequent
weeks.
Ho roportcd for work Monday morn
ing. Accompanied by Max, he went
to a barber's shop and afterward to a
clothing establishment where ready
made apparel of the hotter class was
sold. About eleven o'clock he stepped
from the restaurant, paused In tho ves
tibule, took n pair of now chamois
gloves from a pocket and began draw
ing them on. When he stepped out
Into tho mornlug crowd and strolled
up, State street, swinging a gold
headed cane, his gllutenlng hat tower
ie hldi above tho mass of heads, hs
started a furore far greater than his
sanguine employer expected.
When he reached Adams street
there was In his wake a Jostling num
ber of more curious ones, anxious to
keep him In sight, yet loath to betray
their eagerness. He stopped at tho
corner, mounted a metal refuse box
near the curb and, removing his silk
hat with n sweeping gesture, shielded
his eyes with his hand and stared
straight Into the zenith. A minute or
more lie remained thus, the human
Jam thickening about him with every
second. The sidewalk became speedily
choked. A policeman shoved his way
through tho congestion, reached up,
Jabbed his knuckles In Fltzhugh's side.
"Come out of It, professor," advised,
he. "It's the closed season for stur
gazln'."
FItzhugh put on his hnt. stepped
down from his pedestal, nodded silent
ly to the olllccr, and with tho pomp
nnd dignity of n lord mnyor, retraced
his steps down the street, tho crowd
following.
In the afternoon he again sallied
forth nnd the success of the morning
was repeated. He Btopped (his time
"Come Out of It, Professor," Advised
the Officer. "It's the Closed Season
for SJar Gazln'."
at' Monroe street for his skyward
gaze. Again the crowd surged about
him, and again his poise wns Jarred by
a heavy hand. Instead of n police
man, however, ho turned to And n man
of his own helgnt, but of larger bulk,
regarding him with favor rather than
of lll-wlll. lie was fashionably at
tired and there seemed to envelop him
an atmosphere of Cash.
The strnifger placed his hand on
Fltzhugh's shoulder and lowered his
voice to a whisper. "I've something
for you, friend, tliat'll make life wortli
living."
FItzhugh whispered Jrack: "Lead on,
major. I'll follow straight."
In a little while they wero seated In
a cool place, where largo fans whirred
softly overhead and where dark bot
tles and tall glasses were placed be
fore them. Tho breezy one Hipped a
card across the tnble, with the cryptic
remark :
"I'm Qulgg."
The card fell face up. FItzhugh
read :
QUIGG & PEEVY,
STOCKS IJONDS GRAIN,
and then briefly Intimated:
"Ami I'm Fltzhugli."
"Greetings. FItz I Greetings nnd salu
tations I What docs this sandwich
man stunt bring you In?"
"Such Impertinence, Qulgg, merits n
reprimand, but I'll give you a truthful
answer: thirty dollurs a week. Com
mencing next' week."
Mr. Qulgg placed his glass on the
table with elaborate precision. His
puffy eyes narrowed.
"FItz," said he, "I'm 'going to take a
chance. I've watched you twice todaj,
and 1 think I've found the man I want.
I'm no bad judge of a man, either.
Ho produced a fat morocco wallet anil
slipped therefrom a treasury nolo
which he passed across the table.
"There's your first week's salary In ad
vance. When you're ready for work I
am."
FItzhugh glanced at tho bill, and
saw It was of u hundred-dollar denom
ination. Ho rested both arms on the
table and, leaning across, looked his
vls-a-vls steadily In the eye.
"Would you mind telling tne," he In
quired pointedly, "what sort of a game
you're playing?"
Qulgg chuckled nnd raised a fat,
gloved hand in protest. "I beg to be
excused until I've seen my attorney.
Here, boy I" A waiter came hurrying.
"Get mo a taxi, I've twenty minutes to
spare. We'll hustle, over to my tailor
Tliat's a bum outfit you're wearing."
FItzhugh, In accordance with prior
arrangement, imported to Ids now em
ployer at nine-thirty Wednesday morn
inc. Ho had given up his room In
Illinois street, nnd had taken an un
pretentious upartment In a pretentious
hotel farther north.

Ills correct morning attire, fault
less, well-tailored, expensive; his Hue
ly pointed beard utid inustnche brushed
away from his lips In n French fash
ion, even the red llower In his button
hole, lent to his lixihes an air of dis
tinction foreign to Chicago's higgledy
piggledy financial district. He was
acting perfectly tho ixipuhtr conception
of a "gentleman of leisure," and
quick, sidelong glances of surreptitious
Interest were cast his way by the hur
rying clerks and traders, pressing
down I.u Salle streottoward tho board
of trade, as he entered the building
where was the abode of Qulgg uud
Pcevy.
On n narrow platform before tht
blackboard which extended the length
of the "customers' room" u phlegmatic
youth walked up and down chalking
mystical figures, while the telegraph
Instrument In u little box at one end
chattered Its Interminable tale. In
the three rows of chairs, also spanning
the room's length, sat men, well
dressed and nondescript, the hitter Jot
ting In dog-cared memorandum books
with stub pencils, the former watch
ing the blackboard and conversing
earnestly about "market conditions."
Messenger boys scuttled to and fro
across the floor, clutching ut their
caps, slapping their books shut, enter
ing and leaving some Inner olllcc
whence Issued tho cllckcty-cllck-cllck
of a battery of typewriters.
And In all this feverish animation,
there was something vaguely nrtlllcial
too subtle for the ensual onlooker,
perhaps, but there nevertheless.
As FItzhugh entered, casting a bored
glance around the place, he wns met
by a uniformed negro, who said : "Mr.
Qulgg says tell you please, sub, st.'p
Inter his private office at once, sub."
Tho preceding night, in Qulgg's
rooms In n hotel, FItzhugh had been
thoroughly apprised of the nature of
his post There had even been "re
hearsals." He was therefore not un
prepared for what followed his en
trance Into Qulgg's sanctum.
Mr. Qulgg, lurge nnd prosperous,
held a large clgar'ln a large hand, ntid
occupied a largo chair before a large
desk, near which sat a colorless, com
monplace, Inconspicuous man whose
weak face was at once inquiring nnd
impressionable. Near by a stock
ticker unwound Its tnpo Into a wicker
waste-basket, und from n partly-open
door came the furious clattering of
many typewriters. And here, ns In
the outer room, there was nn un
natural note faint, almost Indistin
guishable, but discordant all the
same.
As FItzhugh entered Qulgg glanced
up, then leaned toward the colorless
one und said something In a low voice.
Not so low, however, but that 'FItz
hugh caught some fragments: "Put
ttngton . . . Eastern capitalist . . .
Worth ten millions if he's worth a
nickel."
This was Fltzhugh's cue. Instantly
his bearing changed. Ills tired air
vanished. Ills eye, languidly super
cilious a moment before, became cold,
arrogant, alert. He was no longer the
blaso aristocrat. Ho was now tho
hlgh-teiisloncd financier, whose min
utes were diamond-studded. He stood
nt tho door, a Blight scowl gathering
between his brows, his right thumb
nnd second linger snapping Impatient
ly. Thus until he received his next
cue.
"Ah, good-morning, Mr. Pnttlngton."
Qulgg rose, smiling deferentially, ut.d
motloneil to a chair. "Won't you s't
down? I shall bo at leisure presently."
Fltzhugh's frown grew n little heav.
