"Yes I" he said thickly. "Yes! You bet I could I" "And you wouldn't be nfrald to keep on working for me? That Is. If we got this Sllverbow scheme nil laundered olean beforo we started something else?" "Not If you " "Then listen 1" .The broker's voice was soft and homlletlcal. "You've thought some linnl things about me. Maybe you had some cause; I'm not disputing that. But I guess you've for gotten something. Something I told you when we tlrst got together. I told you If you got mo what I wanted I'd liclp you get what you want. Well you've done your best. I got to give you credit. And maybe you've changed some of my Ideas too. Maybe you've sort of worked me around to believing I haven't given you a square deal. Well let the past bury Its dead. I've got more than one string to my bow; I'm sort of tired of the old line of stuff; I'm thinking seriously of cut ting It all out and going In for the safe and sane. It Isn't so Juicy, but It's safe. Am I right or am I wrong? All the cards on the table I'm no fool. HUIInrd and the bottom's falling out of this promotion gnme. So If you think you can blossom out Into n legit imate salesman of high-grade bonds of course there wouldn't be nearly as much In It for you I've got more than linlf a mind to give you the chance. It's a risk, but I guess I owe It to you." Ho slid his pudgy hand across the table and smiled pacifically. "I've taken a strong fancy to you. son let's 1)0 respectable together. What do you say to that?" In his feverish joy nilllard was will ing to Ignore the obvious fact that the broker's repentance wns considerably overdue, and that It was founded on expediency nnd not on principle. The thought of working longer for Har mon even If the securities he had to sell In future were most conservative filled him with nausea; but If that were the only way to save the situ ation how could HUIInrd decline? now In his duty to himself, could he refuse to work again for Harmon, If this were the only means to1 save bis friends their money already lost? He felt his reins throbbing to his agitation. "Is ... is that a bona fide of fer?" he faltered. Harmon's hand slapped the table for emphasis. "Straight as a string. To tell the truth you're sort of on my conscience. You're with me? All right! Then as far as I'm concerned the 'contract's canceled hero and now. Got It with you?" "No, I" The broker's face darkened. "Where Is It?" Hllllard was disinclined to tell how and why he had Intrusted It to Cullen. "It's safe," he said. He could hardly contain himself; be looked nnd looked at Harmon, trying faithfully to recon cile the man and his appearance nnd his principles, and he failed but here was the great reality confronting him nnd the millionth chance had magically come true. It wns warped honesty but It wns honesty no less. Harmon licked his lips. "Well, we'll clenn up the whole transaction today and start with n new deal. That's settled. Oh, don't carry on like that, HUIInrd. Now about this chap, Waring" "Oh, you still want to see him, do you?" Harmon hesitated. "Sure I Give him n little surprise, eh? If he's the man who's been bombnrdlng us we'll spike his guns first. What?" He laughed noisily and HUIInrd was al most too excited to dislike the laugh. "Don't bother to telephone the Onon daga; we'll Just walk over." "But I thought you wanted to stny away from there?" Hllllard was dis playing many of the symptoms of In toxication. "Oh, not when everything's going along so smooth nnd nice I We enn go up In your room nnd hnve Waring up there and be Just as private ns anywhere else." Accordingly, nnd to the chagrin of a hovering waiter, they quitted their booth nnd went out to the open air. They reached the Onondaga ; they ar rived at the mezzanine floor; they were snfe In Hllllnrd's npnrtment. "Myl" snld Ilnrmnii Jocosely. "I wish I could nfford to live like this I But you've got n rich bncker. nnd I haven't." He rubbed his hands In great good nnture; his eyes were spar kling nnd his fnt body wns n-qulver with vanity. "Well, the first thing to do . . . Where did you sny you keep that contract of ours hidden?" "Is there any hurry about tlmr now?" nilllard was fairly beside himself with Joy. ..Well-" The sudden whirr of the telephone buzzer seemed to rullle the broker's nerves, for he started vio lently. "Who's that?" "Just n iiMHiM'itt. . " HUIInrd took down the recover. "Yes? . . . Oh, yes, hnve film . . . an; hold the wire He beckoned hilariously to Hnrmon tv-'V lon tn'rx now I ors ok ok n t ok You're ready to ec him, aren't you?" The broker was suddenly plunged Into uncertainty. "Yes no I Nol" "What's wrong?" HUIInrd wns vis ited by an unwelcome chill; he tried to analyze It and couldn't. The big man was breathing with dif ficulty. "I . . . you go down and . . . no, that wouldn't do either. . . . I want to see him alone. I want to get him to call off his Investigator, so when we begin a new cnmpnlgn we won't hnve nny verified report ngnlnst us on the old " "No, sir I" Hilllnrd shook his hend smilingly. "I'm the man who's bad to stand the gaff so far; I'm going to be In on any conferences. That's my play I" Harmon licked his lips again and swallowed repeatedly. "Well . . . It's ... If you let me do the talking then . . . or . . ." HUIInrd turned bnck to the trans mitter. "Ask him to come right up," he snld. He replnced the Instrument and looked alarmedly at the broker. "You're not well 1" "Yes, I nm. . . . Now let's get nt that contract I There's no sense talk ing business until that's canceled, Is there?", As HUIInrd stnrcd nt him nn ley wnve of suspicion swept him from head to foot. "What's your hurry? It's my fu neral, Isn't It?" "You nro anxious, though I Hnr mon. I " "No ... no hurry nt nil. Oaly as long ns I'm hero . . . nnd the game's played out . . . as a favor to mo . . . let's cancel It. Where Is It? I . . . Good God, son, don't you want that thing out of the wny? It's no good with nn alias on Itl I'll put up the money I " A shnrp rnp on the door stopped him short. Hilllnrd turned the knob ; War ing nnd Mr. Cullen burst In. "Why, Mr. Cullen 1" he snld In as tonishment. "They didn't tell me you were here I Hello, Rufus." "Hllllaral" Cullen's fnce was red and excited. "Ob, I beg your pnrdon 1" He hnd seen Hnrmon. HUIInrd, tnken utterly by surprise, begnn to phrnse the introductions; ho hnd only Just begun when Hnrmon In terrupted Harmon with a set jnw nnd blnzlng checks. He wns standing by the writing table, and one hand wns resting heavily upon It. Ills manner was curiously apprehensive, curiously desperate. "Ah I . . . Mr. Cullen . . . most happy, I'm sure . . . and Mr. Waring . . . delighted 1" nis voice wns silken In Its throntlness. "Gentle men, I have the honor to he presi dent ... of the Sllverbow Mining corporation . . ." He pnused; his hnnds weaved nlmlessly. "Of Mon tnnn. . . . Gentlemen. ... I hear there's been some ndverso criti cism of our property . . . you're stockholders, I understand . . . not used to criticism . . ." He flung his head erect. "I offer you personally . . . to relieve you ... of any nnd all obligations . . . nnd pny bnck penny for penny." Here his knees shook nnd he swnyed nppreolnbly. Ho was holding himself upright only by tremendous, visible effort. "The man's sick I" Cullen 'stepped townrd him. Waring nnd Hllllard were standing fascinated. The broker warded off Cullen with both hnnds. "No, I'm not slckl . . .

Call tlio office l Get the house doc tor r Cullen hnd raced to the bathroom for a glass of water; ho raced back again, spilling half of It. Hllllard was chafing the broker's wrists. The threo men strained at the unwieldy, unresist ing bulk; while leaden fear clutched at their hearts. The fiouso physician bustled In to find tho broker lying on tho bed In n profound coma; his reflexes had gono from him ; ho couldn't bo roused. Thero was no need of a stethoscope. "Order nn Ico bag," snld tho man of medicine sharply. Ho himself was rat tling nmong his vlnls for tho calomel. Rufus was nt tho telephone. "Anything I can do?" asked Hllllard earnestly. Ills suspicions had crys tallzed; and he was bitterly awaro that tho broker had planned not Jus tice, but some new brand of perfidy; nevertheless, tho man was unquestion ably In danger and revengo could wnlt. "Nothing Just glvo me plenty of room." As tne threo stood watching pain fully, Cullen put out his hand to HU IInrd, nnd spoko under his brenth. "Henry when did ho come?" "Only Just now. An hour ngo." "Hadn't ho told you? Or hadn't you heard?" 'Tleard what?" Cullen motioned to Wnrlng. "Give It to him, Rufus . . . Oh, I see; I see " The law student, without n word, produced a yellow blnnk nnd thrust It nt nilllnrd. no Unshed a glance of Indescribable contempt nt tho supine broker; his eyes hnd lost somo pf their nnxlety. ' "Oh, tho big crook I" ho enld boy ishly. "The big crook I" "Sh-h-h! Rufus!" Still, HUIInrd, at henrt, ngreed with him to tho letter. Tho boy stood closo to tho mnsquernder. "I'm sorry, nilllnrd ... It camo nt four tills nfternoon . . . we'd been hunting for you ever slnco . . ." HUIInrd wnsn't Interested. "I'll wait until" Cullen signed to him peremptorily. "Rend It, I tell you I . . . It'll glvo you n slnnt on him I" HUIInrd peered over tho foot of tho bed ; Hnrmon wns still lying Inert. Tho physician nodded sldewlsc. "Nothing for you to do," ho snld grimly; nnd HUIInrd, only partly aware of what ho was doing, gave heed to the yellow blank. The fourth telegram of tho day wns from Butte, Mont, addressed to Wnr lng. "Arrived here Inst night after delay In Chicago. This morning's papers con tain Information ns follows: Tho fnulted vein on XLNO property ad joining Sllverbow claim number one hns been located about twenty feet from Sllverbow boundary.

Tho lump In his throat was choking him; tho moment was so big that his feelings were primitive; his expression of them were very simple. He only smiled; the meaningless, vacu ous smile of an Infant. That smllo em braced tho entire universe; It was In dicative of a happiness so limitless, so perfect, that it wns almost foolish. So Hnrmon, knowing from his own sources of tho sudden strike, hnd rushed to Syracuse to pose as n man of honor 1 So Harmon had wanted to meet War ing nnd find If Wnrlng hnd yet henrd tho news, nnd, If ho hadn't, stop tho In vestigation by apparent frankness nnd rendy restitution. So Harmon had been eager to destroy tho contract, to promise Hilllnrd nnythlng nnd every thing, to repay tho money thnt was subscribed alrendy and then, ns solo owner, to tnko an enormous profit for himself. No ono In tho wholo world nnd least of all, Waring nnd Cullen could hnvo remotely fnthomed tho thoughts thnt were eddying In Hllllnrd's bruin. They were not for his own aggran dizement ; th?y were for the Cullens and ljurwts nnd for tho others who nerd never know tho acid of dlslllu HloiiTtuMif. They were for tho ldenls he had struggled townrd; they wero for the friends who hnd stood by him. And thero was one very especial and very manly thought for Jack Arm strong, wh hnd been no courageous tn his defeat, and so neutral In his be havior afterward, and who now hnd sent tho generous news winging east ward, with Uio request thnt Hllllard should learn nt onco of his vindica tion. And as Hllllard snt there, smiling out Into tho silent room, and strug gling to visualize tho extent of fortuno which had so abruptly smitten him, thero was n dry murmur from tho bed where Harmon lay, nnd n resulting si lenco so pregnant with meaning that tho smllo faded, nnd Hllllard wns on his feet, open-eyed with tho present horror brought bnck to him. Tho physician was rising slowly from cramped knees. "It's nil over," ho said; pnused, nnd added : "Apoplcry." Tho only man In nil America who could hnve testified to Ullllard's simu lation had ceased to breathe. CHAPTER XIV. As Dr. Durant, having nlrendy given counsel this morning to seven pntlcnts, appeared at tho door of tho ante-room to signal to tho eight, ho was pal pably astonished nt tho presence of the young man who sat next to tho door. Tho Doctor wns very human; the Doctor was very ndaptnblo; but for thirty yenrs ho had managed to keep the social and professional phases of his life entirely apart, nnd at the very first glanco ho was aware thnt, HU IInrd hndn't como to consult with him professionally. Nevertheless, ho raised his finger In tho usual sign; Hllllard followed him to tho Inner room. It wns Hllllnrd's Introduction to the Doctor's morning mnnner; nnd even In his own exalted spirit, ho yielded slightly to tho restraint In tho at- Thero Waaa Dry Murmur From tho Bed. moRpherc. The Doctor was blnnd, smil ing, approachable, and yet not nt nil tho snmo mnn ns ho appeared nt tho house on Jnmcs street, no seemed dc tnehed from tho hnmperlng littleness of n household ; thero wns no nlr of ln tentlonnl repose nbout him. HUIInrd, In spite of the Importance of his mis sion, felt npologctlc; ho felt as though ho wero unwittingly robbing sclenco of Its most vnlunblo asset, which Is time. "I know this Isn't exactly the proper thing to do," ho said, "but I'm lenvlng town In nn hour or so ... I thought you might snaro mo flvo minutes, Doc tor, even If It Is a little Irregular. Can you?" "What seems to bo tho trouble?" Tho Doctor's tono wns a mild Invltn tlon to squnndcr nothing on prelimi naries. "Mr. Cullen nnd I nro running down to New York todny . . . You've seen tho morning pnpers, haven't you?" "Yes." The Doctor nodded. "And Cullen telephoned me last night. Wns Mr. . . . whnt wns his nnmo: Hnr mon? . . . was lie a closo friend of yours, Hllllard?" "No; Just a business associate . . . I didn't know him very well personal ly soclnlly, I should sny. But It chnnges somo of my plnns . . . Mr. Cullen and I havo to go to Now York for n few days and after that wo'ro going out to Montnnn together." The Doctor tapped his desk thought fully. "On account of this?" "Partly, and pnrtly not Tho wholo perspective's changed; wo'vo got to get to work. Now, the last tlmo I saw you . . . why, that was only yester day I" ne broko off, laughing nt him self. "It seems so much longer than thnt J Why, you said then that if I ever needed any ono of several dif ferent things, ' Including .seventy-flvo hundred dollars, to como to you. And you spoko ns though you really meant It, Doctor ... So I'vo comol" Tho Doctor regarded him steadily for a moment and resumed tapping tho glass pad on his desk with n medl tatlvo forefinger. "You've reconsidered, havo you?" "Not thnt so much but wo' hnd fresh Information. Jack Armstrong's out there, Indirectly representing Mr. Cullen, nnd we've heard from our own lnwyers besides. So on tho whole, I'm willing to lot you In If you'ro willing to come, In splto of what I Buld at lunch yesterday. Tho Doctor hesitated. "Not that I doubt yon at nil," ho said, "but when Cullen telephoned mo last night, ho said that you and he hnd raised all tho money you need ed In half nn hour after you went out to look for It. You see, I havo somo channels of Information myself I So I cun't holp wondering why you need this now." Nevertheless, ho was hunting for his check-book. "Wo don't need It I simply Insisted on keeping a place open for you, on tho chnnco that you hndn't changed your mind." "You'ro fully satisfied It's tho right thing for me to do?" "Yes, Doctor, 1 nm." The Doctor held his pen poised tn tho nlr. "I'm net sure I'm rcnlly en titled to It Doesn't It really belong to somo ono who wns on tho spot last' night?" Hllllnrd's eyes twinkled. "You'ro fond of tnlklng nbout mo tives, Doctor. . . . You'd hnvo lot mo hnvo thnt money yesterday, wouldn't you?" "Didn't I offer It to you?" "Yes, sir; you did. But wns It bc cnuso you thought you'd mnko n big profit, or wns It Just to help mo?" "Why" "You see," said Hilllnrd cheerily, "If you'ro going to havo theso merco nnry motives, you'vo got to let mo hnvo some, too. I'vo let friendship Interfere with business twice In two days. And you'ro not tho only ono I held a place open for Rufus nnd Jnck aro In It, too. It wns my privilege to mnko that condition and I did." Tho Doctor scribbled rapidly. "Then I'll keep my promise . . . But would you mind telling mo what It Is I'm buying?" "Here's your receipt, Doctor." Hil llnrd Inld n slip of pnper on tho desk; took up the check, nnd scrutinized It carefully. "Whnt you'vo bought," ho snld, "Is n twentieth Interest In a new syndicate formed Inst night. We'll as sume tho stock control In New York, when wo got there, by paying somo more cash (nnd wo'vo got more than we need already) and after thnt, wo mny possibly sell out, or we muy go ahead nnd develop tho mlno ourselves. I don't know yet which; Hint's what Mr. Cullen and I are going West to de cide. But you'll be protected anyhow; I'll see to that. And If you'ro In nny hurry to get your money bnck " "How soon do you think It'll bo?" Hilllnrd hiughcd outright; a laugh of utter happiness. "Right now, If you sny so." The Doctor puzzled. "You don't make It clear," ho said. ''Then I will. Mr. Embree, down nt the Trust nnd Deposit company, was one of tho men who wanted to get In with us, nnd couldn't. Ho wns Just too Into. But when I told him what I was saving out for you, ho authorized me to make you nn offer. I'm acting ns his agent, that Is, and I've got a check hero, nnd If you want to en dorse thnt receipt over to him, you enn hnve this." He presented tho banker's check; tho Doctor stnred; It wns pny ablo to himself, signed' by Entbreo, nnd written for fifteen thousand dol lnrs. "Why, nilllnrd!" ho snld, blnnkly. "Is thnt good business? For Embree? Whnt's behind this?" HUIInrd fairly beamed his delight "Well, If you wnnt my ndvlco, don't tnke itl I told him I'd have to explain It to you, nnd he ngreed." He sal stralghter, prldcfully. "Jack Arm strong sent another wire this morning and the XLNC crbwd, who own tho property next to ours, know that I've hnd this contract for nil tho Sllverbow stock, nnd thcy'vo mnde us a lint proposition of" ho cnught his brenth "four hundred thousand dollars for tho contract I And your twentieth sharo would bo worth twenty thousand dollars If wo took Itl But wo'ro not going to because It's worth still more, and we know It. Lots more twice as much so " The Doctor's expression altered slightly; his chin sank a llttlo, and ho sighed, nlmost In regret "That hardly seems fair," ho wild slowly. "Thnt hardly seems fair." Ho smiled fitfully, nnd sighed again. "For years and years," ho said, "ever slnco I first began to practice, I've been working and wnltlng nnd hoping to reach tho point where I could give up ofllco work nnd do somo research, . . , And here, In a few minutes, you dan gle a two yenrs' Income In front of mo for no services of mlno nt nil . . . for no labor on my part . . . not, ns I'd hoped, the result of service, but " "I own n qunrter of tho mlno my self," snld HUIInrd, with cqunl grav ity. 'tAnd I'm not thinking how I got It, Doctor; I'm thinking how much good I enn do with it . . . enn't you look nt It thnt wny, too?" Tho Doctor nodded presently. (TO IJE CONTINUED.) Plots and Scots. In his Dlctlonnry of Phrase nnd Fnble, the lenrncd Rev. Dr. E. Coin hnm Brewer, writes upon Plcts and Scots: "Plct is not tho Latin plctl (painted people). As Plcts nnd Scots nro always mentioned together, thero Is no reason why ono name should bu Latin and tho other Gaelic. Scot Is tho Gnellc 'sgod ( a dweller In woods nnd forests), nnd Plct Is tho Gaelic plct-Ist (freebooters), tho two being equivalent to foresters and free booters." Proof That Quality Counts. Blschoff, tho great Ruslnu scientist nnd nnturnllst, onco said "women aro Inferior to men because, their brains nro smnller nnd lighter." But when thnt mnn died his brain was weighed and found to bo lighter tliun tho nvcr ngo woman's. So It Is not weight or size or box, hut quality, that makes superiority, as tho presumptuous Bla choff proves. Exchange. Flr6t Missionaries to Islands.
