A Brilliant Campaign. Jnmcs Blake yet longed for specula tlvo laurels. lis one ambition was to achlovo somo swooping conn, and tnato tho inward Joy of triumph sweeter far than tho undeserved fame which had umasscd half a million of dol lars tho temptation to risk It was too strong to ho resisted. John Hurt had Just terminated a cnnrpnlgn which hnd netted him nearly a million In profit, and John Hawkins hnd been equally successful. Blako saw a chance and took It. With nerve anil skill ho forced a stock to a point whore vic tory seemed certain; hut an unfore Bocm event ruined his chances at the moment when tho spell of Ill-luck ee,mrd broken. Thu market turned, but by a series of moves, brilliant as If Inspired by success Instead of dis aster, Blako saved himself from a complete rout, and emerged with one half of his capital A few dayB later he hold an Inter view with John Hurt an Interview destined to mark an epoch In his ca reer. "Can you arrange your affairs so as to go to New York for me, starting on Saturday?" asked John Hurt. "I can start tonight If necessary," replied Blake. "Saturday night will be better," said Burt. "Two important railroad stocks will decline heavily next week. They aro now bouynnt, and the public Is eager to buy them. I shall have dis posed of my Interest In thorn beforo you reach New York. Two million dollars will bo placed there to your credit. Proceed at once, on your arrival, to sell short one hundred thou sand shares of each of theso stocks. You should bo able to do this In three days without seriously breaking tho market. You hold In your name be tween flvo" and six million dollars' worth of stocks and bonds, which nro listed on tho Now York exchange. Ex press them to New York at once. I propose to convert them into cash. When I wlro you. throw them on the market and sell more of the railroad utocks. This is our Introduction to tho Eastern mnrkot. We'll dlscubs the details before you leave, and I havo absolute faith In your ability to conduct tho campaign." It was a proud moment for Blake. There was no shadow of envy or Jeal ousy In his thoughts as ho looked Into the faco of the companion of his boy. hood, and heard him speak cnltnly of millions and of launching them ngalnst the .giants of Wall street. "I can do It! I will do It!" ho ex claimed. "I see your plan, and its magnificent, John, magnificent! It will win win boyond a doubt." John was silent for a moment, and a far-off look camo to his eyes. "I havo two important personal com missions for you, Jim," ho said. "Whllo in Now York ascertain for mo If Arthur Morris Is alive. Find out what he Is doing, and learn what you can about him. The second task is a more dollcato one. It concerns Miss Carden. I wish to know " "I know exactly what you want," In terrupted Jim Blako as John hesita ted. "You want to know where she Is, how she Is, If sho loves you, and " "You need not attempt the latter task," said John rather shortly. "You are likely to undertako too much. For tho present I do not care to acquaint Miss Carden, or any one In tho East, with my whereabouts, or even with tho fact of my existence. Be caroful In this matter, Jim. Of course you will go to Hlngham and visit your kinsfolk. You can easily learn all I caro to know from tho Bishops, or per lhaps from Sam nounds. If not, go to Boston; but get the facts without calling on Miss Cnrdon. You under stand, don't you, Jim?" "Certainly I do. old fellow," said Jim heartily. "I'll bo as cautious as a dlmc-novol sleuth." After repeated conferences every de tail of tho Wall street campaign was agreed upon, and James Blako set his lace toward3 tho East. Ho arrived In Now York on Friday ovonlng. Early tho following morning he nppearcd In Wall street and pro 79nted letters of Introduction to tho viuks nnd brokers who had boon se lected by Jr.hn Hurt as agents In tho pending operations. On Monday morning ho opened ac counts with Brokers and began selling 2r FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS "Colonel Monroe's Doctrine," Etc. COl'TUHllIT, 1003. 11T A. J. Duaxni, 1U1)DL small blocks of the two railway stocks. The market was strong, nnd all offer ings were eagerly absorbed. In three days ho had sold one hundred thou sand shares of each stock, nnd tho market was stationary. Ho wired the fact to John Hurt and received In structions. Tho following day he be gan tho cash sale of tho stocks and se curities. When half of them were sold the mnrkct began to weaken. On Thursdny morning ho received a cipher telegram which, when trans lated, read as follows: "Sell remainder of securities nt mnrkot price, and then ofTer railroads A and H In live thousand lots. "J. H." lluncnth the weight of these offer ings tho market trembled and then bioke shnrply. 1-ate In the afternoon catuo the news of tho resignation of powerful directors on railroads A and H; the organization of a competing line, and the passage of a resolution for enormous bond Issues. When Jnmes Hlako went to bed late Saturday night It was nftcr fifty hours of work without sleep. Ho had prac tically concluded one of tho most de cisive campaigns ovor waged on tho street. Heroro turning out tho lights ho again read u telegram received a few hours befote, and his handsome face flushed with pleasure as ho read: "Accept my congratulations on your superb handling of our campaign. Mr. Hawkins Joins In snlutatlons and we drink your health. J. B." " 'Our' campaign?" snld Blake, half aloud. "That's tho highest of com pliments. John must havo won tor tunes, and I'm a millionaire at last. Wonder If I can sleep. Hero goes." Ho dropped Into a slumber deep and untroubled as that of a child. James Hlako found himself the Wall street hero of the hour. He was ac claimed the young flunnclnl giant from the I'ncltlc slope a mnrkot lvanhoo who hnd driven his lance through the armor of famed knights nnd warriors. He drank deep of the glorious ncctnr of victory. The day had dawned when he could ncccpt honors fairly won. Whllo ndmlttlng that John Burt was the master-mind of the campaign, Blako know that he hnd played no small part in its consummation. He hnd Invested every dollnr of his own. He had carried his Mock to the bot tom of tho market and covered In time to profit on the reaction. In a week of furious conflict he hud not made a mistake. New York thiew open her gates as to a victorious genernl, proud to bo looted In honor of his fame. She be came the opulent nnd willing mistress to his pleasures. She fanned his fevered brow and whlspeied soft words of praise Into his ears. He banqueted with money kings In staid old clubs; he met us an equal tho dashing young scions of wealth around the boards in fashionable cafes; he drifted through drawing rooms brilliant In light, and looked In to tho admiring faces of radiant women; he mingled with tho jeweled throng In playhouse and opera: he read Ills iiamo and the story of his fame In tho public prints nnd ho for got John Burt. Ho spent an evening In a Fifth Ave nue Club the guest of a young bank er and broker who had profited from tho coup. Blako was faultlessly dressed, and his fine face was more liandsomo than ovor. He goodnatur odly declined to discuss his triumphs In California, but told with spirit, frankness nud humor the tales of suc cessive reversos and modestly at tributed his recent run of success to luck. "You must transfer your activities to Now York." advised young Kings loy, who had been willed several mil lions and a banking business. "San Francisco Is too small and provincial for you. Ah, hero comes a fellow you must meet!" A thick-sot young mnn had ontered tho room. Ho stood nnd listened with a bored expression to a friend who was enthusiastic over somo matter, and persisted In repeatedly Bhaklng hands. "That's Morrlj Arthur Morris," ox plained Klngsloy. "Son of old Ran dolph Morris don't you know. Pore Morris retired from buslnoss two weeks ago nnd turned everything over to Arthur. Ho was a wild one, but I HUB BUIUUU UUYWl. 1UU illUlllO 1U1I- lions won't shrink In his hnuds I want you to know htm, Blake." When Morris' name was mentioned Hlako started nnd gazed Intently nt tho stolid faco and heavy flguro In the far corner of the smoking-room. With shnmo ho recalled that he had made no Inquiry concerning this mnn, whose denth or existence meant so much to John Burt. For a moment his nerves tingled, nnd ho longed to walk across tho loom nnd choke Morris for John's sake, but ho reflected that this was folly, ft was enough to know Hint Morris lived. John Burt was dead so far us Arthur Morris was concerned nnd Blake, as John's reincarnation, threw himself on guard, determined to profit to tho utmost by tho Incident. "Glad to see you, old man!" ex claimed Klngsley, rising to greet Mor ris. "I wnnt you to Know my mend, Mr. Blake Mr. James Blako, of San Francisco Mr. Arthur Mortis. You certainly have heard " "'Pen my word this Is unexpected luck!" Arthur Morris thrust forward a soft hand nnd winced as Blako clasp ed It with simulated heartiness. "Delighted to meet you, Mr. Blnko!" Morris exclaimed. "Been looking for you everywhere! Sent my card to your apartments this evening. By Jove, you're a corker, don't you know, Mr. Blako! Walter, a bottlo of Pcrler Gouot, Til. 1 want to drink your health, Mr. Hlnko." "Glad to meet you, Mr. Morris!" said Jamc3 Blake, looking him full In tho eyes. "I've heard of your father, and tho famous old firm, and learned only today that you've succeeded him In business." Two yenrs spent by Arthur Morris In an apprenticeship to tho trndo of monov urasnlnc nnd holding had seamed the puffed, round faco with hard Hues. Tho onco dull eyes glow ed with the newly-lighted fires of avarice. Tho sensuous lips dropped at tho corners with n cruel curve. Tho former air of Indifference was re placed by tho alertness of defenso nnd aggressiveness. Close observers predicted a great en icer for Arthur Morris. His father was delighted with tho transformation nnd did not hesitate to glvo to his heir the keys which unlocked tho Mor ris treasurer vaults. The hours glided by to the music of clinking glasses and tho rising clatter of conversation. And as James Blako talked and listened and drank, his aversion to Arthur Morris relaxed. He loved John Burt and was eager to espouse his cause, but John had not commissioned him to nunrrol with Arthur Morris. Perhaps tho affair of the years before was only a boyhood dispute? He glanced at tho white expanse of Morris' shirt front nnd wondered If tho scar of John's bullet showed over his heart. Morris lived, and tho thought came to Blako that tho score was even between John and the young million aire. The feud had made John rich why should John complain? And Arthur Mm lis did not seem to be such a bad sort of a fellow after all. Thus reasoned Blake as Morris took his arm and led him nway from tho noisy club men. "Say we get out of this?" said Mor ris, proffering a cigarette case. "You'll bo my guest to-night, Blnkc! Won't listen to a refusal, iny denr fellow! I've bachelor apartments, and anything you nsk is yours. I want to have a quiet chat with you. Let's make our excuses and stroll to Delmonlco's for a bite of supper. Then wo'll go to my rooms." Blako .accepted the Invitation and after supper they drove to tho Morris apartment. "I'm rather fond of these quarters,, don't you Know," said Morris, as ho' showed his guest through a sulto, worthy of a Lucullus. "Picked up somo of this stuff abroad, and the governor, contributed the rest of It. Knmmohun, servo us that 1809 brandy!" The Indian servant bowed nnd moved noiselessly away. Morris open ed a writing-desk and glanced at a number of unopened letters. (To bo continued.) SHIRTS MUST HAVE SHRUNK. Red Flannel Garment Wife Mistook for Coral Necklace. "Jim" Sullivan tells of a friend, a sufferer from rheumatism, who, hear ing during the early part of tho win ter thnt red flannel worn next to tho body was a remedy for that comi plaint, purchnsed several undershirts made of that material. The clerk as sured him that tho goods were guar anteed In every particular. About two weeks afterward Mr. Sullivan's friend revisited tho shop where he had innight the red flannel shirts and registered a big kick against the perpetuation ngalnst him of what ho termed "a fearful swindle." "What's the matter?" asked tho proprietor. "Have the shirts faded or shrunk?" "Faded! Shrunk!" howled tho man. "What do you think my wife snld to mo when I came down to brenkfast yesterday with ono of them on? Well, sir. she smiled sweetly and asked: " 'Why aro you wearing my pink coral necklace around your throat, John?'" New York Times. Russia's Army.

AUTO FOR THE NORTH POLE. Proposal to Drive Over Arctic Ico to the Goal of Explorers. It Is probable that for nges yet to come the quest for tho north polo will continue. Successive failures to And It merely room to whet tho doslro to "make a dash" for It. The newest Idea In tho direction of nrctle exploration Is for the uso of tho motor car, ns was, of course, only to bo expected. It Is a Belgian ex plorer, Hondrlk Arctowskl (tho namo is decidedly appropriate), who has boon tho first to consider it seriously, nnd his hopes nud fears aro discussed In a French contemporary. Ills nm billons nro centered in tho south pole, which, as wo know, Is guarded by land or wnlls of perpetual Ice, Impassable for ships. The uso of dog sledges Is also prevented by the fact that food for the dogs must bo carried, which definitely limits the distance that can bo covered. M. Arctowskl believes that by the uso of a sufficiently strong nnd bIiii pic motor, which will run In the cold est weather nnd consume very much loss weight of stores per mllo thnn would dogs, tho polo can bo reached. His present Idea Is to uso Canadian sledges, to which aro to bo nttached "spurred" wheels.

Bartlett, fish commis sioner, lately entertained Ople Rend down at Quincy. Rend has n passion for fishing nnd Colonel Hnrtlett took him to fish to his heart's content. Ople sat on a sort of ltorch and throw his hook out into tho pool. A man was placed under tho porch who was doing some fishing himself. Ho hnd a long polo with a hook at tho end, and ho fished the fisherman's bait In and secured a bountiful bass to It. Right away Oplo took in tho lino fel low. He cast again nud In a llttlo whllo tho hired mnn hnd fnstened tho samo bass to tho halt, and In that way tho delighted novelist mndo a dozen hnuls lnsldo of an hour.
