THE "IRON KING,
II
By DAVID G. HARTLEY.
Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso
ciation.
Hooker, tho "Iron king" of Now
York, was tin lrrltnble..uinu and a
stingy one. Ills business was spec
ulating In Iron, nnd to do this success
fully lio was obliged to sccuro infor
mation from all parts of tbo world as
to tho production, consumption, stock
On band nnd such other Items as tend
ed to fix tho prlco of tho metal.
Hooker gavo bis sister's son, Edward
Earlo, n position In bis ofllco. At twenty-five,,
though tho young man was
manager of that branch of tbo busi
ness which pertained to Information,
bo was paid but twclvo hundred a year.
On this ho supported his mother, a
wlfo nnd two llttlo children. Ho
chafed under his uncle's stinginess and
on one occasion asked for more salary.
Ho was Informed that if bo could do
better clscwhcro ho was welcome to
go. Tho young man appreciate tho
proverb "A rolling stone gathers no
moss" and remained fbero ho was.
Ouo day Hooker Informed bis clerk
that ho wished him to go to England
to Investigate the condition of tbo
market there. Ho furnished tbo young
man with a second class ticket on an
ocean liner and bnrcly enough money
to pay his board and travel third class
botween tbo principal English Iron
manufacturing towns.
Ono morning Earlo, who was in
Sheffield, aroso and while breakfast
ing with his paper before him saw a
notlco of the failure of an Iron firm
located In the neighboring town of
Birmingham. Tbo concern being n
small ono Earlo attached little impor
tance to tho failure, but during tho
day a business acquaintance who had
an interest in favoring him gavo him
a bit of secret information that caused
him to chnngo his mind. It was be-
Moved that tho falluro wonld involve
a larger firm, that firm would involve
a number of others, and tho wbolo
community of iron firms in England
would go down llko card houses. Thl.4
would throw a larco lot of iron on
tho market that bad been held spec
ulatively for a rise, and consequently
tho prices would fall considerably.
Thero was no Atlantic cablo in thoso
days, so Earlo wroto tho information
ho had received, giving bis opinion
that a crisis was at band and advising
his employer to sell nt onco all tho
iron ho bad on hand. Tho ship bear
ing tho letter had no sooner sailed
than tho second firm in lino failed
This caused Earlo to feel still greater
confldenco In tbo information ho bad
received, and ho had no donbt that
all bo bad beard would bo realized.
Tbo young man proved himself ad
mirably fitted to assumo responsibil
ity. Ho took a risk that would mako
or break him. In tho namo of Hooker
'& Co. bo was not authorized to sign
the firm name, but it was not known-
bo contracted to deliver thousands of
tons of iron at a flguro below tho mar-
kot price, tbo iron to, bo delivered in
ninety days. This done, bo took tbo
first steamer that sailed for America.
tbo ouo tbnt boro tho news of tbo Iron
panic In England.
On tho morning of Iris arrival bo
wont straight to tho office. There
sat Mr. Hooker at bis desk with a
morning paper beforo him. Earlo
caught sight of largo headlines an
nounclng tho tumblo of iron in Eng
land. It hnd been sent from Sandy
Hook. Hooker was whlto as a sheet.
"You worthless scampi" cried the
bend of tho firm to bis. employee.
"Why didn't you wrlto of tho begin
ning of all this? I'm ruined! 1 had
nn immenso stock on band, and, learn
Ing of a shortago on the continent, I
bought more."
"I wroto by tho last steamer, giving
you Information that pointed to this
result and advised you to sell out all
tho stock you had."
"Your letter never came. You should
have brought tho information your-
Gclf."
"Aro you suro about tho letter?"
"James." called Hooker to a clerk,
"aro there nny lottcrn that have not
been delivered to mo?"
Then wns ouo came, Blr, a fow dayfl
ago. y. .. know that you ordored all
letters on which tho postage was not
paid In full to bo loft at tho postoflico,
Thero was 8 cents. duo on thts one, and
I refused to pny it."
"Oh. heavens!" groaned nookcr."
"Was It from England?" asked Earle
of tho clerk.
"I thluk It was."
"it must have been a mtstako of tho
clerk's at tho British postoflico. 1 put
on Btamps to cover tbo cost as ho quot
ed It to mo."
Hooker's bend dropped on his desk.
Irritated somo timo beforo at receiving
unstamped lottors (at thnt time sucli
lottors wero delivered), ho bad given
orders tbnt all mall on which any
mouoy was duo should not bo taken
from tho liostofllco. For refusing to
pay 8 cents ho hnd been ruined.
"How much iron bavo you on hand?"
asked Earlo.
"A hundred thousand tons," groaned
tbo speculator without taking bis bead
off his desk.
"Well, Mr. Hooker, cheer up. It's
not so bad, after all. I took a big risk
wbllo abroad. I Bold In your namo
Just as tho panic bogan 125,000 tons to
bo delivered in ninety days."
"Wlintl"
"I sold for you 125,000 tons nt about
what your stock cost you. Thero'll bo
sotno low figures today on tho nubllcn
tlon of this news. Terhaps I'd better
go on to tho exchango nnd buy u part
or it in."
Hooker fell on his nephew's neck.
Thero wns a profit on tho transaction
of many thousand dollars, and from
that day Earlo took bis utfeU's plods
as mo "iron wng."
