Tho call closed amid animation; but
tho oxcltcmont wau nothlnc com
pared to tho Bcono thnt had followed
tho fall in tho morning. Omega Btood
nt eighty asked, and sovonty-elght bid,
and tho ship of tho Btock gamblers
was again Balling on an ovon kool.
Tho hosbIoii was ovor nt last, and
Wallbrhlgo and Kppnor handed mo
their momornnda of purcluiues.
"You couldn't pick Omoga oft tho
bushoB thin afternoon,. Mr. Wilton,"
Bald Wnllbtldgo, wiping hla bald hoad
vigorously. "Thoro's fools at all times,
and sonio of 'om woro hero and ready
to drop whnt thoy had; but not many.
1 guthorcd In six hundred for you, but
1 had to light for it."
I thanked tho merry brokor, nnd
gavo him n check for his balance.
Kppnor had dono bottor with n
wider margin, but all told I had added
but thrco thousand ono hundrod
shares to my list. I wondered how
much of this had been sold to mo by
my omployor. Plainly, if Doddrltfgo
Knapp was needing Omoga stock ho
would havo to puy for Ir.
'Ihoro was no ono to ho aeon na I
reachod Hoom 1G. Tho connecting door
was ciosou nnir locked, nnd no sound
camo from behind It. I turnod to nr.
rnngo tho hooka, to keep from n tmd
habit of thinking over tho lnoxpllcublo.
An nour paBsod and no Doddrldco
Knapp. It wub long past olllco hours.
JiiBt as I wns considering whether my
duty to my employer constrained mo
wnit longor, I caught sight of an on
volopo that had boon Bllpnod tindor
tho door. It wob In cipher, but It
yiomed to tho key with which Dodd
rldgo Knnpp hnd provided mo. I
mndo it out to bo this:
"Como to my houao to night. Brine
your contracts with you. Knnpp."
I wao thrown into some perplexity
by this order. For a llttlo I BUBpoctod
a trap, but on aocond thought this
uoomod unllkoly. Tho olllco fnrnlshod
as convlcnlont a placo for homicidal
diversions aa ho could wish, If theso
woro In his Intention, nnd poBslbly a
visit to Doddrldgo Knnpp In his oWn
housQ would glvo mo a bettor cluo to
his habits and purposes, and n butter
chanco ot bringing homo to him his
awful crime, than a month together on
tho Street.
Tho clocks woro pointing past eight
whon I mounted tho Btepa that led to
Doddrldgo Knnpp'a door, I hnd some
thing ot trepidation, after all, iib I rang
tho boll, for I wns far from being Bitro
.hat Doddrldgo Knnpp was above cur
rying out his dospornto purposes In
his own house, and I wondored wheth
er I should ovor como out again, onco
I wrb behind thoso maaslvo door. 1
hnd takon tho precaution to find a
Btnallor rovolvor, "suitable for an ov
entng call," us I assured myself, but It
did not look to bu much ot a protoc
Hon iu caBU tho house hold n dozou
rulllans ot tho Terrlll brand. I low
over, I muHt rlalc it. I guvo my name
o tho sorvant who opened tho door.
"This way," ho said quietly, and In
a moment I wns ushered into a small,
plnlnly-furnlshcd room; and at a desk
covered with papers sat Doddrldgo
Knapp, tho picture of tho Wolf In his
dou.
"Sit down, Wilton," Bnld ho with
grim affability, giving his hand. "You
won't mind if an old man doesn't got
up."
I mado somo conventional reply.
"Sorry to disappoint you thla after
noon, and tnko up your ovonlug," ho
said, "but I found somo business that
MSB
3
needed nioro immodlnto attention.
Thero was a llttlo matter that had to
bo looked aftor In person." And tho
Wolf's fangs showed In a cruel smile,
which assured mo that tho "llttlo mat
ter" had terminated unhappily for tho
other man.
1 airily professed myfiolf happy to
bo at his service at any time.
"Yes, yes," ho anld; "but lot'a seo
your momornndn. Did you do well
this nftomoon?"
"No-o," I returned apologetically.
"Not bo woll as I wished."
Ho tdok tho puporB and lookod ovor
them carofully.
"Thlrty-ono hundrod," ho said re
flectively. "Thoso Bales woro all
right. Well, I was afraid you couldn't
got abovo throo thousand. I didn't got
moro thnn two thousand In tho other
Hoards and on tho Street."
"That wns tho hoBt I could do," I
Bald modestly. "They avoraged at
Blxty-flve. Omoga got away from us
thlK afternoon Ilko a runaway horse."
"Yes, yes," said tho King of tho
Street, studying his papers with drawn
brows. "That's all right. I'll Jiavo
to wait a bit beforo going furthor."
I bowed na becamo ono who had no
idea of tho plans nhcad.
"And now," said Doddrldgo Knnpp,
turning on mo a koen and loworlng
gnzo, "I'd llko to know what call you
havo to bo spying on mo?"
I opened my oyes wide In wondor.
"Spying? I don't understand."
"No?" said ho, with uomethlng be
tween n growl and a snarl. "Well,
mnybo you don't undoratnnd that, eith
er!" And ho tossed mo n hit of paper.
I felt sure that I did not. My
Ignorance grow Into amazement as I
roau. Tho slip bore tho words:
"1 havo bought Crown Diamond.
"What'a tho limit? Wilton."
"I cortnlnly don't understand." I
aald. "What does It moan?"
"Tho man who wroto It ought to
know," growled Doddrldgo Knapp,
with hla oyes flashing nnd tho yollow
gray mustachu standing out llko brls
tloH. Tho fungs of tho Wolf woro In
ulght.
"Woll, you'll havo to look some
Avhero olao for him," I suld firmly. "I
uovor saw tho noto, and novor bought
a sharo or Crown Diamond."
Doddrldgo Knnpp bont forward and
looked for an Instant iih though ho
would lenp upon mo. Hla eyo was tho
oyo of a wild boast In nrigor. If I hod
written that note I should havo gono
through tho window without stopping
for oxpjnnntlons. As I had not written
It I sat thoro coolly and looked him
In tho faco with an easy conaclonco.
"Woll, woll," ho said at laBt, relax
ing his gaze, "I almost bollovo you."
"Thoio'u no uao going any furthor,
Mr. Knnpp,, unless you bollovo mo al
together." "I soo you understand what I waB
going to Bay," ho aald quietly. "But
If you didn't Bond that, who did?"
"Woll, If I woro to uinko a guess, I
Bhould say It was tho man who wroto
this,"
1 tossed him In turn tho note I had
received In tho afternoon, bidding mo
sell everything.
Tho King of tho Street looked at It
r
20
carefully, and his brows .drew lower
and lowor as Its import dawned on
him. Tho look of angry perplexity
deepened on his face.
"Whoro did you get this?"
I detailed tho circumstances.
Tho angor that flashed In his cyca
was more eloquent than tho outbreak
of curses I expected to hear.
"Urn!" ho said at last with a grim
amlle. "It'njucky, after nil, that you
had something besides cotton In that
akull of yourH, Wilton."
"A fool might havo been caught
by It,"! said modestly.
"Thero looks to bo trouble ahead,"
ho said. "Thoro's a rascally gang In
tho mnrkct theso days." And tho
King of tho Street sighed over tho dlB
honesty that hnd corrupted tho stock
gamblers' trade.
I smiled inwardly, but signified my
ngrcomont with my employer.
"Well, who wroto them?" ho asked
almost fiercely. "Thoy seem to como
from tho samo hand."
"Maybe you'd bottor nBk that fellow
who had his oyo at your kcyholo whon
I left tho ofllco this noon."
"Who was that?" Tho Wolf gavo a
startled look. "Why didn't you tell
mo?"
"Ho was a woll-mado, quick, lltho
fellow, with an oyo that reminded mo
of a Bnako. I gavo cliaso to him, but
couldn't overhaul him. Ho Bqulrmcd
awuy In tho crowd, I gucsB."
"Why didn't you tell mo?" he said
in a Btoady voice.
"I didn't Bupposo it was worth
coming back for, aftor I got into tho
streot. And, besides, you woro busy."
"Yes, yes, you were right: you aro
not to como of course, of course."
Tho King of tho Street looked at mo
curiously, and then Bald smoothly:
"But this isn't buslncBS." And ho
plunged Into tho papers onco moro.
"Thero wero ovor nlno thousand
shares sold this afternoon, and I got
only ilvo thousand of them."
"I suppose Decker picked tho others
up," I said.
Tho King of tho Streot did mo tho
honor to look at mo in amazement.
"Decker!" ho roared. "How did
you" Then ho paused and his volco
dropped to Its ordinary tone. "I reck
on you'ro right. What gavo you tho
Idea?"
I frankly dotnllod ray conversation
with Wallbrldgo. Aa I wont on,
fancied that tho bushy brows dMw
down and a llttlo anxiety showed bo
noath them.
I hnd hardly finished my account
wnen tnoru was a knock at tho door
and tho servant nimeornd.
"Mrs, Knnpp's compliments, and shu
woum into to seo Mr, Wilton when
you nro done," ho aald.
I COUld With difficulty rmirnns nn
crumatlon, and my heart climbed into
my throat. 1 was readv
Wolf In his don, but hero was n differ
ent mattor. I recalled that Mrs. Knapp
was a moro lntlmnto ucmiidn-tnnrn t
Henry Wilton's than Doddrldgo Knupp
nau ucon, auu I saw Niagara ahead

"Yos, yea; qulto likely," aaUl my cm-
pioyor, rerorrlng to my iitory of Wall
bridge. "I hoard something of tin
Kinu tram my mon. I'll know to-mor-
row for curtain, I expect. I forgot
toll you that tho ladles -would want

door whoro tho servant wnitted.

CHAPTER XII.
Luella Knapp.
1 wo women tobo to greet mn.. as 1
entered tho room.
"Good evoalug," said tho c?dortjwom
nn, holding out her hand. "You nova '
neglected us for a long time." Thero
was something of reproach na woll aa
civility In tho volco.
"Yes," I replied, ndjustlng my man
or nicely to her, "I havo boon very
bUBy."
"Busy? How provoking of you to
say so! You should novor bo too busy
to tako tho commands of tho ladles."
"That 1b why I am hero," I Inter
rupted with my best bow. But she
continued without noting it:
"Lilclla wagered with mo that you
would make that excuse. I oxpected
something moro original."
"I am very sorry," I said, with a
reflection ot tho bantorlng air sho had
assumed.
"Oh, Indeed!" exclaimed tho young
er woman, to whom my eyos bad
turned as Mrs. Knapp spoko her name.
"How very unkind of you to say bo,
when I havo Just won a pair of gloves
by It. Good evening to you!" And
sho held out her hand.
It was with a strong effort that I
kept my self-possession, as for the
first tlmo I clasped tho hand of Luolla
Knapp.
Was it tho thrill of her touch, tho
glanco of her oyo, or tho magnetism
of her prcsenco, that sot my pulsos
beating to a now measure, and gavo
my spirit a breath from a now world?
What over tho caBe, as I looked into
tho clear-cut face and tho frank gray
oyes of tho woman beforo mo, I was
swept by a flood of omotlon that was
near overpowering my self-control.
I mnstored tho emotion in a mo-
mont and took tho scat to which she
had waved me.
I was puzzled a little at tho tono in
which sho addressed mo. Thoro was
a suggestion of resentment In her man
ner that grow on mo as we talked.
Can I describo her? Of what uao to
try? Sho wns not beautiful, and "pret
ty" waa too potty a word to npply to
Luolla Knapp. "FIno looking," If said
with tho proper emphasis, might glvo
somo idea of nppearanco, for sho was
tall in figure, with featuros that woro
lmpresslvo in their attractiveness.
Through all tho conversation the
idea that Miss Knapp was regarding
mo with a hidden disapproval was
growing on me. I decided that Honry
had mado somo uncommon blunder
on Ills last visit and that I was suf
fering tho ponalty for It. Tho admira
tion I felt for tho young woman deep
ened with every sentence sho spoke,
and I was ready to do anything to re
Btoro tho good opinion that Henry
might havo endangered, and in lieu
of apology exerted myself to tho ut
most to bo agreeable.
I was unconscious of tho flight of
tlmo until Mrs. Knapp turned from
sbmo other guests and walked toward
us. .
"Come, Henry," sho said pointedly,
"Luelln is not to monopolizo you all
tho tlmo. Besides, thero's Mr. Inman
dying to Bponk to her."
I promptly hated Mr. Inman with
all my heart and felt not the slightest
objection to his demise ; but at her
gesturo of command I roso and accom
panied Mrs. Knnpp, as a young man
with eye-glasses and a smirk camo to
tako my placo. I loft Luolla Knapp,
congratulating myself over my clever
ness in escaping tho pitfalls that lined
my way.
"Now I've a chanco to speak to you
at last," said Mrs. Knapp.
"At your servlco," I bowod. "I owe
you something."
"Indeed?" Mrs. Knapp raised her
eyebrows in surprise.
"For your kind recommendation to
Mr. Knnpp."
"My rccommondatlon? You have
a llttlo tho advantage of mo."
I was strlckon with painful doubts,
and tho cold sweat started upon me.
Perhaps this was not Mrs. Knapp after
all.
"Oh, perhaps you didn't mean It,"
I said.
"Indeed I did, if it was a recom
mendation. I'm afraid it waa uncon
sclous, though. Mr. Knapp does not
consult mo about his business."
I waa in doubt no longer. It was
tho injured prldo of tho wlfo that
spoko in tho tone.
"I'm nono tho less obliged," I Bald
carelessly. "Ho assured me that he
acted on your words."
"Whnt on earth nro you doing for
Mr. Knapp?" she asked earnestly,
dropping her halt-bantering tone.
Thoro wns a traco of apprehenBou In
hor oyes.
"I'm afraid Mr. Knapp wouldn't
think your recommendations were
qulto Justified If I should tell you. Just
get him In a corner and ask him."
"I suppose tt Is that droadful stock
market."
"Oh, madam, let mo say tho chicken
market. Thero la a wonderful oppor
tunity Juat now for corner In fowls."
"Thero aro a good maay to bo
plucked in tho market that Mr. Knapp
will look utter, sho said with a smile,
But thero was something of a worried
look behind it. "Oh, you know,
Henry, that I enn't bear tho market. I
havo Been too much of tho misery that
has como from it."
Sho shuddered as sho looked about
her, as though In fancy sho saw her
self turned from tho palaco into tho
streot.
"Mr. Knapp Is not a man to loso," I
snld.
"Mr, Knapp Is a strong man," sho
snld with a proud stralgtoning of hor
figure. "But tho whirlpool can Buck
down tho Btrongo8t swimmer."
(TO HE CONTINUED.)
Coin and Compliments.
"What would you do If you woro n
multl-mllllonalro?' nskod tho serious
man.
"Oh," answered tho flippant friend,
"I suppose I would got to yearning
for a few kind words, and endow col
logos, like tho rout of thoin."
