Four-year-old Clydo was a preco
cious youngster very tnlkntlvo and a
close observer. Ho and his father woro
strolling through the moadows ono
morning when Clyde observed, for tho
first timo, somo tadpoles In a pond.
Ho waded In and cried out In dollght:
"Oh, father, what are thoy?"
'Tadpoles, son," tho father replied.
"Please, father, let's tako them all
homo with ua, then como back and
And tho mamma and papa, and wo'll
havo tho wholo family In our pond at
homo."
Tho father explained how Impossi
ble this would ho, and as ho walked on
a fow stops a largo ugly frog hopped
across their path. Clydo's father said:
"Look, son, perhaps thoro Is tho papa."
Clydo was very thoughtful. Ho
looked at tho frog, then at his father,
then at himself and exclaimed:
"Woll, father, was thoro over bo
much dlffcrenco between mo and .
you?"

CHAPTER XV. Continued.
"Then tho mine Is yours?"
"Tho directors will he."
"But you wero huylng shares this
morning."
"A mere optical Illusion, Wilton,
was in fact a seller, for I had shares to
spare."
"It was a very good Imitation."
"I don't wonder you wero taken In
my hoy. Decker wns fooled to tho
tuno of about $1,000,000 this morning
I thought it was rather neat for a
clean-up."
I thought bo, too, and tho King of
tho Streot smiled at my oxclnmationa
over his cleverness. But my congrat
ulations woro cut short as a small
dark man pressed his way to tho cor
ner whero wo stood, nnd whispered In
Doddridge Knapp's ear.
"Was ho suro?" asked tho King of
tho Street.
"Thoso woro his exact words."
"When was this?"
"Not live minutes ago."
"Itun to Caswell's. Toll him to wait
for me."
Tho mcssengor darted off and wo
followed briskly. Caswell, I found
was an attorney, and wo worq led at
onco to tho Inner ofllce.
"Como In with mo," said my em
ployer. "I expect I shall need you, i
and It will savo explanations."
Tho lawyer was a till, thin man,
with chalky, expressionless features,
hut his eyes gave life to his faco with
their keen, almost brilliant, vision.
"Decker's playing tho Jokor," said
tho1 King of tho Street. "I've beaten
him In tho markot, but he's" going to
mako a last play with tho directors.
Thero's a meeting called for 12:30.
,Thoy aro going to glvo hfm. a two
years' contract for milling, and they
talk of declaring 20,000 shares of my
stock invalid."
"How many directors havo you
got?"
"Two Barber and myself. Decker
thinks ho has Barber."
"Then you want nn Injunction?"
"Yes."
Tho lawyer looked at his watch.
"Tho meeting It at 12:30. H'm.
You'll havo to hold them for half an
hour maybe an hour."
"Mako It half an hour," growled
Doddridge Knapp. "Just remember
that tlmo Is worth ?1,000 a second till
that Injunction Is served."
Ho went out without another word,
and thoro was a commotion of clorks
as wo left.
"How's your norvo, Wilton?" In
quired tho King of tho Street calmly.
"Aro you ready for somo hot work?
"Quito ready."
"Havo you a rovolvor about you?"
"Yes."
"Very good. I don't want you to
kill any one; but It may come In handy
as an ovldcnco of your good lntcn
tiona."
Ho led tho wny to California streot
below Sansomc, whero wo climbed a
illght of stairs and went down a hall
to a glass door that boro tho gilt and
pnlntcd Icttors, "Omega Mining Co.,
J. D. Storoy, Pros't,"
'Thero's Ave minutes to sparo," said
my employer. "Ho may bo alone.
A stout, florid man, with red side
whiskers and a general air of good
living, sat by an over-shadowing desk
In tho hntidsomo olllco, nnd looked
sourly nt uso as wo entered. Ho was
not alone, for a young iiuiii could ho
seen in a sldo room that was lettered
'Secretary's Ofllco."
"Ah, Mr. Knnpp," ho said, bowing
deferentially to tho millionaire, nnd
rubbing his fat red hands. "Can 1 do
anything for you today?"
"I reckon so, Storey. Lot mo Intro
duco you to Mr. Wilton, ono of our
coming directors."
I hnd an Inward stmt at this In
formation, and Mr. Storoy rogardod
mo unfavorably. Wo professed our
selves charmed to boo each other.
"I supposo It wns an oversight Mint
you didn't sond me a notice of tho di
rectors' meeting," snld Doddrldgo
Knnpp.
Mr. Storey turned very red, and tho
King of tho Streot said In an under
tone: "Just lock that door, Wilton."
"It must havo been sent by mnll,"
stammered Storey. "HI, thero! young
man, what aro you doing?" ho ex
claimed; Jumping to his foot ns I
heard, and tho knob was tried ngaln.
Then tho door was shaken and, pic
turesque commonts woro made on tho
dilatory president.
Doddrldgo Knnpp looked grim, but
seretio, ns ho sat on tho desk with
his foot on tho protstrnto Storey. I
breathed softly, nnd listened to tho
rising complaints from without.
Thero wero thumps nnd klckB ou
tho door, nnd at last n volco roared:
"What aro you waiting for? Break
it In."
A crash followed, and tho ground-
glass upper section of tho door fell In
fragments.
"I bog your pardon, gentlemen," I
snld, ns n man put his hand through
tho opening. "This rovolvor Is loaded,
nnd tho first man to como through
thero will got a Httlo cold lend In
him."
Thoro was a pnuso and then n storm
of oaths.
"Got in thorol" cried Dockor's volco
from tho renr. "What aro you afraid
of?"
"He's got a gun."
"Woll, got In, thrco op four of yon
at once. Ho can't shoot you all."
This spirited advlco did not scorn to
find favor with tho front-rank mon,
nnd tho enemy retired for consulta
tion. At last a mcssengor enmo for
ward.
"What do you want?" ho askod.
"I want you to keep out."
"Who Is ho?" nsked Dockor's voice
"Thoro's another ono thoro," cried
another volco. "Why, U'b Doddrldgo
Knnpp!"
Decker mndo use of Bomo lnnguago
not Intended for publication, nnd thoro
was whispering for a fow minutes,
followed by sllonco.
I looked nt Doddrldgo Knapp, sitting
grim nnd unmoved, counting tho mln
utos till tho injunction should como
Suddenly a man hounded through tho
broken tipper section of tho door,
tossed by his companions, nnd I found
myself In a 'grapplo boforo 1 could
rnlso my revolver.
Wo went down on the- floor togothor,
nnd I had a confused notion Mint tho
turned tho koy In tho lock. "Open that
door again!'-'
"No you don't, Storey,' enmo tho
florco growl from tho throat of tho
Wolf. "Your game Ib up."
"Tho dovll It is!" cried Storoy, maki
lng dash past Doddrldgo Knapp nnd
coming with a rush strnlght for mo.
"Stop him!" roared my employer.
I sprang forward and grappled Mr.
Storoy, but I found him rathor a largo
contract, foV I had to favor my loft
arm. Then ho suddenly turned limp
and rolled to tho floor, his head thump
ing noisily on a corner of tho desk.
Doddrldgo Knapp coolly laid a hard
rubbor ruler down on tho desk and I
rocognlzed tho sourco of Mr. Storey's
discomfiture.
"I reckon he's safo for a bit," ho
growled. "Hulloo, what's this?"
I noted a very pale young man In
tho doorway of tho secretary's ofllco,
apparently doubtful whothor ho should
attempt to ralso an alarm or hldo.
"You go back In your room and
mind your own business, Dodson,"
said tho King of tho Streot. "Qol" ho
growled florcoly, aB tho young man
still hesitated. "You know I can mako
or break you."
Tho young man disappeared and I
closed and locked tho door on htm.
"Thoro thoy como," said I, ns stepB
sounded in tho hull.
"Stand by tho door and keop them
out," whispered my employer. "I'll
see that Storey dooBn't get up. Keep
still now. Every minute wo gain li
worth $10,000."
I took station by tho door us tho
knob was tried. Moro stops woro
or flvo
door swung open and four
others rushed Into tho room.
I squirmed freo from my opponont
and sprang to my foot In tlmo to seo
tho wholo pack around ' Doddrldgo
Knnpp.
Tho Kng of tho Street sat calm and
forceful with a rovolvor in his hand,
and all had halted, fearing to go farth
er.
"Don't como too closo, gontlemen,"
growled tho Wolf.
Then I saw ono of tho mon ralso a
six-shooter to aim at tho defiant figure
that faced thorn. I gave a spring and
with ono blow laid tho man on the
floor. Thoro was a flash of 11 ro as hq
foil, and a deafening nolso was In my
ears. Men nil nhout mo woro striking
at inc. I scarcely folt tholr blows aB
I warded them oft and returned thorn.
for I wnB half-mad with tho dosporato
senso of conflict ugnlnat m.Mb. But
at last I folt myself seized In nn Iron
grip, and In n moment wns edited be
sldo Doddrldgo Knapp on tho desk.
"Tho tlmo Is up," ho said. "Thoro'B
tho sheriff nnd Cnswoll with tho writ."
"I congratulato you," I answorod,
my head Btlll swimming, noting that
tho enemy had drawn back at tho com
lng of rolnforccmotitH
"flood heavens, man, you'ro hurt!"
ho cried, pointing to my left sleeve
whoro a blood stain was spreading.
Tho wound I had received In tho night

tho struggle.
"its naming, snm i. "xust n

"Hero! get n doctor!" cried tho
King of tho Street. "Gentlemen, tho

CHAPTER XXVf.
A Vision of the Night.
"You nro a very lmprudont porson,"
said Luolln, smiling, yet with a most
charming trnco of nnxtoty undor tho
smile.
What havo I boon doing now7" I
asked.
That is what you aro to toll me.
Pnpn told us a Httlo about your saving
his llfo and his plans this morning, but
ho wns so very short about It. Wns
this tho nrm that was hurt?"
I started to glvo a bi lot description
of my morning's ndventure, but thoro
wns something in my llstcnor s fnco
that called forth detail after dotal!,
and hor oyes kindled ns I told tho talo
of tho battlo that won Omega In tho
stock Board, and tho fight that res
cued tho fruits of victory In tho ofllco
of tho company.
"Thero Is something flno In It, after
nil," sho said when 1 was through.
"Thoro Is soinotlilng loft of tho spirit
of tho old adventurers nnd tho
knights."
I took hor hnnd, nnd sho lot It lio n
moment boforo sho drow It awny.
"I think I am moro than repaid," I
said.
"Oh, yoB," sho said, changing her
tono to ono of comploto Indifference.
"I'npn Bald ho mado you a director."
"Yes, I said, taking my cuo from
hor manner. "I have tho happiness
to shnro tliu honor with throo othor
dummies. Your father makes tho
llfth."
"How absurd!" laughed Luolln. "Do
you want to provoke mo?"
"Don't mind mo, Henry," Interrupted
tho volco of MrH. Knnpp,
"But I must," said I, giving hor
greeting. "What sorvlco do you ro-qulro?"
"Toll mo what you havo been do
ing?"
"I havo Just been telling MIsb Lu
olln."
"And what, may I nBk?"
"I wns explaining this morning's
troubles."
"Oh, I hoard n Httlo of them from
Mr, Knnpp. Have you had any mora
of your adventures at Borton'a and
other dreadful placos?"
I considered a moment, nnd then, ns
I coulri seo no reason far keeping si
lent, I gnvo a Bomowhat abridged nc
count of my Ltvcrmoro trip, omitting
reforonco to tho strango vagaries of
tho Doddrldgo Knnpp who trnvolcd by
night.
I had, renBon to ho flattorod by tho
attention of my audleuco. Both women
leaned forwnrd with wldo-opcn eyes,
nnd followed ovory word with eager In
terest.
"That waB a dreadful dangor you
escaped," said Mrs. Knnpp with a
shudder. "I am thankful, Indited, to
seo you with us with no greater hurt."
Luella said nothing, but tho look sho
gnvo mo sot my heart dancing in n
way that all Mrs. Knapp's praise could
jiot.
"I do hopo this dreadful business
will end soon," snld Mrs. Knnpp. "Do
you think this might ho tho Inst of It?"
"No," said I, remembering my noto I
had received from tho Unknown on my
return, "thoro's much moro to bo
dono."
"I hopo you nro ready for It," Bald
Mrs. Knnpp, with a troubled look upon
her fuco.
"As rendy as I over shall bo, I sup
poso," I ropllod. "If tho guardian
angel who has pulled mo through this
far will hold on to his Job, I'll do my
part."
Mrs. Knapp raised a melancholy
smllo, but It disappeared at onco, and
sho seemed to muso In sllonco, with
no very pleasant thought on hor mind.
Twlco or thrlco I thought Bho wlfihod
to speak to mo, but If so sho changed
hor mind.
"I wonder at you," snld Luella Boft-
ly, as wo stood alono for a moment.
"You havo Httlo cnuso."
"What you havo dono is much. You
havo conquered difllculUos."
I looked In her calm oyos, nnd my
soul enmo to tho surfaco.
"I wish you might ho proud of mo,"
I said.
"I I am proud of such a frlond
oxedpt Sho hoBltated.
"Always nn 'oxcopt,' " I said half-
bitterly.
"But you havo promised to toll

"Somo day. As soon ns I may."
Undor hor magnetic Inlliienco I should
hnvo told thou had sho urgod mo.
And not until I waB onco moro out-
sldo tho houso did I recall how Im
possible it was that could ovor toll
her.
"Horo'B somo ono to seo you, air,"
said Owens, as I roached tho walk und
Joined tho gunrdu I had loft to wait

"Yes, sor, you'ro wantod nt Mother
Borton'B in a hurry," Bald another
volco, and a man stoppod forward.
"Thoro's tho dlvil to pay!"
I rccognlzod tho ono-oyod man who
had dono mo tho sorvlco that enabled
mo to escape from Llvormoro.
"Ah, Brodorlck, what'H tho matter?"
"I didn't got no orders, sor, so I

"Ib sho In dangor?"
"I reckon tho thought was heavy on

Ono of tho men wns eont to bring
