Kdlth Hancock's cheeks wore rd

into her cousin's mom. "Mr. Rlako

looked closely at Jessie Carden.
"I I llko him, IMIth. It wouldn't
do for both of us to loe him, would it,

"He loves you." protested Kdlth.
with a blush. "I know ho does. Are
you sure you don't love him. Jessie.
Just a little bit?"
"Quito sure." laughed Jessie, as the
roses came to her cheeks. 'I can only
Invo ono man at a time it's conven

"You still love John Hurt? What a
foolish little sweetheart you are. wast
ing your life, on a man -.on haven't
heard from for years! You're jesting,
Jessie; don't reject Mr. Make."
"It's not likely 1 shall have a
chance," said Jessie. The little lace
had grown very serious. "1 imeerely
hope not, Kdlth. John Hurt Is not j
drail,' and ho has not forgotten me.
He will return, am', ilch or pi or, my
tnlth Is in htm. I know he'll come
back, and when he does he'll llml me

There wns a trustful light In the
ileip brown eyes and a longing smile
touched the tender lips. lMith's face
was lighted with Joy j she clasped

You ,wou't will yon, Jessie?"
"Why?" asked Jessie In surprise.
"Because " nnd Edith faltered.
She lowered her eyes In confusion,
hut when she looked again In Jessie's
tnco they llamcd with passion.
"Oh, Jessie, can't you undersand?
I'm jealous of you. horribly, madly
Jealous." and she throw herself sob

It's not your fault that bo loves you,

ho would love me. Tell hlm till him

"What can 1 tell him?" asked Jes
sie In nmazomont. "I can't make him
propose and then commend him to an

When Jessie could command heisolf
she asked If Kdlth really loved Jim.
"I loved him the moment I saw him,
and ho fell In lovo with you nt tho

you can. Oh, why aio people always

Jessie could not answer that world

when Jessie knocked at her door a
few minutes later thcro was no re

Theio was no outward sign of ex

Morris & Company. Morris took per
sonal command of his brokers on the
tloor of the Stock Exchange.
It won't be much of a shower," he
wild to his followers, with airy bra

we'll pass those ordinances yet. 1

protect It against all the liars and
swindlers from finti Francisco to New
York."
Cosmo; Milan opened at a loss of
several points, hut tho selling by
Make brokers was not so heavy as
had been expected, and tho stock ral
lied when given support by Morris
nnd others interested with him. Tho
young millionaire speedily regained
Ills courage.

It wns only a moment past ten
o'clock when General Carden walked
briskly up tho marble steps and en
tered the Morris building. He btopped
nt tho outer railing and addressed
Mr. Mason, the Vice-President of the
company.
"I hold an option on ten thousand
shares of I,. & O. stock," said the gen
eral, producing an envelope from an
Inside pocket.
"Yes?" Mr. Mason raised his eyes
with a faint show of Interest, and
tapped tho brass rail with a pencil.
"Ho I understand, General Carden."
"Under its terms I can take up tho
stock at n stipulated figure, provided
the market price la nbove twenty-six
dollars a share."
"That Is tho agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock, Gen
eral Cnrdon. Do you wish to pay it
to-day?"
A sarcastic smile played around tho
corners of Mr. Mason's mouth.
"I do. I demand the stock and will
meet the terms In cash."
"Vory well, Goneral Carden, It enn
quickly bo arranged."
There wns no chnngc of expression
on tho grave face of tho banker as
ho turned to a clerk and ordered him
to produce tho stock from the vaults.
Mr. Mason i lanced at the option und
nindu n rap! 1 calculation.
"Two bur, Ired nnd olghty-two thou
sand, four hundred and sixty-seven
dollars and seventeen cents," ho snld,
passing ovc n slip of paper. "Is that
your figure". '
General Carden bowed and mo
tioned to one of his companions, who
placei1 a satchel on tho counter. From

the i .oney demanded and exchanged
It f.:r the stock.
"I trust your faith In tho value of
the certificates may not prove

, sir ' . "I bid you good day. sir."
I feneral Carden bowed gravely nnd
tir ictl to tho door. Ah ho did so Ar
I tb'ir Morris entered, his faco flushed
j with triumph. In his hnsto ho ran
Into General Carden.
"I beg your pardon! Oh, It's you,
In It?" and an evil light came to his
eyes. "What In holl nro you doing
hero? You're- discharged fired; d'yo
understand? Get out of hero and
keop out!"
Morris stepped bohlnd tho brass
railing and from that retreat shook
his hand threateningly at tho man
who had aroused his rago. General
Carrion deliberately removed his
glassed and walked towards lilca.
"You are a cur and a coward, Mor
ils'" ho said, looking at tho youngei
man with blazing eyes. "Ijiy n hand
on me If you dare!"
With a muttered oath Morris turnet
and left tho old soldier standing dell
nntly by tho tailing. A minute latci '
General Garden entered a cnrrlagi
nnd was driven rapidly to tho office!
of James Make & Company.
In the meantlmo Morris had fol
lowed Mr. Mason to his private office
I'd like to punch old Garden's

"He itemandcil his I &. O. stock,'
replied Mr. Mason.
'His U. & O. stock," repented Mor

wish me to make him a present ot It

tell lilm to dig up about three hun

Morris laughed as ho stepped to the
ticker.
"Ho showed his option, demanded
the mock, nnd paid over the money,"
said Mr. Mason slowly, "and I gavo

"Old Garden took up his stock nnd i t is C0()j mlli ( t tho brandy In

Is back of General Carden In this
transaction."
"Make'. Make!" gasped Morris.
He clutched the arm of his chnlr
and the muscles of his neck twitched
nervously. Pacing up and down tho
room ho burst Into a storm of Inco
herent profanity. v
The ticker, which had been silent,
spluttered rapidly, and tho ominous
sound did more to call Morris back
to his senses than had tho sober
words of the broker He lifted tho
tape and eagerly scanned the charac- j nowadays go to make up n well-turned-tors

ris yazed at tho figures llko one In a
trance.
There came a violent rapping on the
door, and, without waiting for n re
sponse, a broker entered. His collar
was torn open and his hair was
rumpled and moist with perspiration.
'Make & Company are bidding up j
L. & O.!" he exclaimed. "I ve sold
them four thousand shares up to 35,
and they aro veiling for more. How
does It stand now?" j
Ho took the tape from Arthur Mor-1
rls' nerveless hand. I
"Thirty-nine! Thlrty-nlno and a
half! Six hundred nt forty! A thou
sand at forty-one! Something's up, I
tell you! What shall we do, Mr. Mor
ris?" Morris gazed hopelessly at Mr. Ma
son. "What can wo do?" ho asked, weak
ly. His brain wns in a whirl.
A heavy stop was heard in tho hall
way nnd Handolph Morris entered
the room.
"You've raised hell, haven't you?"
was his greeting to his son nnd heir.
"I told you to keep your noso out of
this Cosmopolitan business. You'vo
made a fine mess of it! I suppose you
think, because the bottom hasn't fall
en out of Cosmopolitan, that you're
all right, don't ye? Heen supporting
It, haven't ye? Of course you have.
You'ro an ass! Admit It, and take
your losses. I'll bet this damn fool
piny will cost more than a million."
"Tell hlm about this business," said
Arthur Morris, sullenly turning to
Mr. Mason.
In a few words the latter explained
what had occurred In L. & O. The
old millionaire's face was a study
during this hunted recital.
The look ot anger chnngod to ono
of perplexity and then to fear. The
millions amassed In a Hfetlmo were
menaced in his old age, nnd tho fires
ot defense and doflanco blazed again
in the eyes of Randolph Morris.

The Salt of the Earth.
It was a damp day, when evil spirits,
held high carnival. Many things went
crosswise under tho spell of their
witchery, but they exorcised n partlciy

Tho man opjKislto sat amazed at
this truly feminine expedient for run

on tho point of remonstrating, but ho
