It wns thus that he had made him
self Important enough to advance
rapidly In his firm. And ho had put
a largo shnro of his snlnry every
week Into u savings bank. With his
extra commissions and bits of unex
pected luck ho hnd bought securities
of Impregnable value. These he had
locked nwny In n safe-deposit vault.
They paid him only four or Ave per
cent, but they were ns sure as any
thing mundane. And twice a year
they granted him tho lofty emotion
of tho coupon cutter.
IIo had paid cash for what mer
chandise ho bought nnd demanded
special discounts for It. In time the
many mlcklcs mado a mucklc. He had
five thousand dollars' worth of bouds
In his safe deposit box.
And then ho married pawned him
self at the marriage shop. IIo kept
his hoard n secret from Leila.
Now he saw n chanco to use the
talents that ho had burled In a nap
kin. Ho filled tho ears of Clay and
Daphne with his market Jargon. Ho
was as unintelligible to Daphne ns n
mad Scot tnlklng golfcsc.
"Look at Q. & O.," ho would say;
"flold at clghty-flvo a year ago.
Friend of mine bought It. People
who were In tho know said It was
going up. It ought to have gone up,
but It didn't. Dropped slowly nnd
slckcnlngly to forty-three. Today It
is forty-six. If I had gono Into tho
mnrkct the other day with live thou
sand dollars and snapped It up at
forty-three I'd have cleaned up three
hundred nnd a half In no time."
I "First catch your llvo thousand
dollars," said Clay.
"I've caught It," said liayard. "I've
hnd It nil nlong."
"You have?" Clay groaned. "If I'd
known that I'd Imvo borrowed It to
get married on."
"Not In a million years," said liay
ard. "When I've mado n killing wltli
this money I'll make you all n pres
ent, but you couldn't pry this out of
mo with a crowbar. I wish I knew
where to borrow more. If you can
ralso any money, Clay, .don't you
spend It In matrimony. A fellow can
get married any time, but It's only
onco In ten years that you can climb
aboard a market after a panic and
ride In with tho tide."
IIo went to his safe deposit vault,
took out his bonds, carried them to
tho vice-president of his bank, nnd
borrowed all that ho could ralso on
the securities. Tho bonds hnd fallen
below par on account of the depres
sion, but liayard was granted SO per
cent of their faco value, minus HO
days' discount ntiC per cent.
His anemic bank ncount was sud
denly swollen by three thousand nine
hundred nnd seventy-nine dollars and
eighteen cents.
Ho sought out a broker, a college
friend whom ho could trust, to advlso
him honestly. They conferred on tho
stocks to buy. Tho old dilemma
could not bo escaped: thoso that of
fered tho most profit offered tho most
iriBK. J.u uuy Mil imirKiiia ivua iiiiiiiui
danger with promise of further profit.
Yet, after all, Bsyard felt, to buy
outright, however wise, was tame.
Even If ho doubled his money ho
would have only eight thousand In
place of his four. And eight thou
sand was no fortune.
Tho question of what stocks to bet
on wus a thrilling one, requiring a
long war council, but at length tho
disposition was mado and ho gavo his
broker tho command to go forward.
Tho market crept up and up. Hay
nrd turned his profits back Into his
speculation. Ho was growing rich.
Ho was planning works of Invlsh
charity, works of art, tho purchnso
of n great reservo fund of securities.
Some years before, when, President
Tnft was Inaugurated, every omen
was fine. Tho weather bureau prom
ised fair weather. Thcro was not a
hint of storm anywhere upon tho con
tinent. And then a blizzard "backed
In" from the ocean and played havoc
with the throngs. So upon the era of
good feeling nnd democratic equality
and civilized peace tho European war
backed In from nowhere.
A young mnn from Serbia shot n
grnnd duke of Austria, nnd the world
heard of Sarajevo for the first time,
but not the last. Tho bullet that slew
tho Austrian heir multiplied Itself ns
by mnglc into billions of missiles. A
young shoemnker from Bavaria, to his
great surprise, killed nn old Belgian
schoolteacher ho had never heard of.
Tho schooltencher fell Into n ditch
still clasping his umbrella. The shoo
maker moved on with n strange ap
petite for shooting.
Refugees In hordes filled tho roads
with n new I'hnraonlc exodus. So
many children plodded along In hun
gry flight that Herod might have been
hunting down the Innocents again.
With tho moral cataclysm went a
financial earthquake. The European
exchanges Hung their doors shut. The
American exchanges tried to keep
their shop windows open, but had to
close them down.
Unyard Kip was among the first cas
ualties. Before he could put In a stop
order his margins wcro gone. Ho had
said that prices having struck bot
tom, could go no 'lower. Now the bot
tom Itself wus knocked out.
Prices stopped falling nt last be
cause of the closing of the markets.
Europe established a general morato
rium. America established ono of
sentiment. Everybody owed somebody
else, and everybody gavo tolerance be
cause everybody needed It.
Night fell on tho commercial world,
a night Illumined by horrors unknown
before. Bayard's factory could not
meet even Its diminished pay roll. Tho
president of the concern could not
borrow a penny at the bank of which
ho was a director. Thu factory shut
down, sending all Its workmen Into
the hordes of the unemployed. The
olllce forces were reduced to a mini
mum and the salaries of the minimum
further reduced. Clay was thrown
out of even his half-Job and.Buynrd
was put on half-pay.
Bayard's sober thoughts concerned
themselves with extricating himself
from the wreckage. It was not pos
slhlo to debnrrass himself of every
thing, lie could not give up bis ex
pensive apartment. It was leased for
a year and a half more. He could not
dismiss his expensive wife; she wns
leased for ninety-nine yenrs. Ho
could not give up his character, bis
costly tastes, his zeal for front, the
maintenance of a good facade.
Tho Instinct of lovable bluff was
seen In bis telegram to Leila. He
wanted her nt home to comfort him,
now that ho had no' busbies'? for her
to hamper. Besides, ho could not af
ford to keep her at Newport. Out of
his ominously small funds be tele
graphed her a liberal sum to pay her
bills and her railroad fare and parlor
car fare. Ho mot her anil found her
astonishingly beautiful In her million
aire uniform.
IIo felt llko tho pnuper who received
a white elephant for n present. But
she wns gorgeous In her trappings.
They embraced with mutuul approval.
Ho laughed:
"I was going to begin economy by
cutting out tho taxi business, but I
couldn't carry a Cleopatra llko you In
the subway. You look llko all tho
money In the world. And you're worth
it." In tho tnxlcab ho crushed her to
111 tn ngalu In n dismal ecstasy and
sighed gnyly: "You're too grand for
me, honey. I'm busted higher than a
kite. You didn't bring homo any
change, of course."
"I did better than that," she beamed,
and, being married to him, made no
bones about bending and disclosing
ono entire silk stocking most ele
gantly repleted. It was transparent,
translucent, Indeed, like gossamer
over marble, and of a saplng sym
metry except for ono unsightly knob
which she deftly removed and placed
In the hand of Bayard.
IIo did not need to glance at his
palm to tell that It was full of bank
notes. "What's all this?" ho snld.
And she, prim nnd proper again,
chortled. "That's the money you tele
graphed mo to pay my bills with."
"But"
"This Is no time to pay bills."
"You're a genius," he snld.
And sho was, In her wny.
When they were nt home again ho
told her of his ruinous speculations.
She did not reproach him. Sho was
gambler enough to thrill at the high
chance, nnd sportswoman enough not
to blame him for losing his etnkes.
"Don't you worry 1" she said, from
his lap, as from n dais. "We'll be
rich yet. You mustn't lmnglno any
thing else. There's everything In
thinking n thing Is going to happen.
I'm too sensitive to bo n Christian Sci
entist about pain, but I am one about
good luck. You must Just tell your
self that you're going to come out nil
right and you will.
"And wo must keep up nppcarances
so that other people will believe In
ma. It's the only way, too, to keep
your credit good. I learned that nt
Newport. People who are people up
there never pay their bills. That's
why they get trusted everywhere, nnd
huvo plenty of ensh. Their creditors
don't dnro Insult 'em or suo 'em. Tho
only people who get sued are tho poor
little dubs that pay cash most of tho
time and then ask to bo trusted when
they're hard up."
Bayard had rebuked Leila for
spending money on clothes nnd on
amusements. But she had had the
fun: she still hnd the clothes; nnd
where were the fruits of his years of
self-denlnl? Where were his hoarded
earnings? His few bonds were Irre
deemably In pawn. And on the roads
of Belgium nnd East Prussia myriads
of wretches who had kept thrift nnd
bulldcd them houses were staggering
nlong in hungry penury, fugitive from
shattered homes nnd wondering about
the next day's bread.
CHAPTER XV.
Bayard tried Leila's recipe for n
time, but there wcro expenses thnt ho
could not charge, and even the wnd of
money sho hnd smuggled out of New
port did not last long. Other people
were no more willing to pny bills than
he. Moneys thnt were owed to him ho
could not collect He could not re-

Arms About Him.
spond to the multitudinous appeals for
charity. This was a real shame In
times of such frantic needs. He could
not do any of the honorable, pleasant
things that ono can do with money.
Ifu had to do many of tho dishonor
able, loathsome things one without
money must do.
In his desperation Bayard's thoughts
reverted to his original rescuer, his
father. Ho never appealed to tho old
man In ynln. Bayard had often prom
ised himself the delight of sending
homo n big check ns a subtraction
from his venerable debt. But It was
a promise easy to defer, in tho faco of
nil tho other temptations nnd oppor
tunities. Ills father never pressed
him, never expected n return of tho
money be hnd been Investing In the
boy. For n child Is n piece of furni
ture bought on tho Instalment plan to
go Into somebody's else house as soon
ns It is paid for.
Bayard put off tho appeal to his fa
ther as long ns he dared, hut at last
sat down to tho hateful letter.
He hated to trouble his poor old
dad at such a tlmo (bo wrote with
truth) but bis very life depended on
raising soma Immedinto money. Ho
was young and husky and ho would bo
on his feet In n Jiffy. Ho would pay
bnck every cent In n short while, even
If ho had to borrow U of some ono
else. Anyway, In n few wcck3 the
panicky conditions would be over and
business would return to tho normal.
He knew, he wrote, that "Old Itcliablo
By
RUPERT HUGHES

Kip" could perform his usual miracle
and get blond from some of those
Cleveland turnips,
He was so sure of his fnthcr that, he
ended his letter with nn udvnnco pay
ment of thnnks. This wns tho first
payment he had mado In advance for
u long time.
He sealed the letter, put a special
delivery stamp on it, nnd took It to
the brunch post ofllco so that it would
reach Cleveland without fall tho next
morning.
When bo got back to tho house
there was a telegram from home.
"Leaving beaver due tomorrow n.
m. don't meet mo but be home must
see you Important mumma well love.
"FATHEIt."
The next morning Bayard rose be
times to meet bis father at the train.
And Daphne went to the Grand Cen
tral station with film. She ran to
her father and Hung her urms about
him, and Bayard hugged him nnd car
ried his suitcase for him. It was no
time to be tipping n porter. Nor to be
making use of taxlcabs with the Jit
ney subway at hand. Bayard lugged
his father's suitcase along Fifty-ninth
street. Tho hall boy, who had not been
tipped for' some days, observed a
strict neutrality. Ho was feeling the
pinch, too.
When breakfast was ended Wesley
noted that Leila herself carried the
dishes away, with Daphne's help.
When the table was clear she closed
the door on the two men and said:
"We'll leave you two ulouo to talk
business."
The two men regarded each other
askance, ns uneasily ns two wrestlers
circling for a hold. Wesley was the
first to speak. Ho said :
"Well, my boy?"
"I wrote you n long letter Inst night,
dad," Bayard said.
"You did? What about?"
Bayard had guessed the situation;
ho saw tho cruel Joke of it. He
thought he could dull the edge with
mockery, no snickered, rather crav
enly: "I wrote to nsk you to lend me some
money. I guess I wnsted tho postage."
"And I guess I wasted the fare over
here. ' I thought I oughn't hnve.tnken
n berth In tho sleeper, but your moth
er Insisted snld I'd not been feclln'
any too well."
Bayard laughed outright a laugh
wet with vinegar tears.
Wesley sank Into a chair with the
little whimper of a sick old man.
Bayard went to his father and put
his nrm about him and regretted his
Wall street disaster with a ferocious
remorse. He could not speak, and
there wns n long dumbness before
Wesley sighed:
"I guess wo got to lose tho home,
then."
That "then" was a history In a
word.
Bayard bent his head in shnrae nt
his helplessness. As usual, It was
Wesley who found a shabby comfort
In tho situation found It for his son.
"Don't you think anything more
about It, my boy. I'm kind of relieved."
He giggled with a pitiful senility. "I
been so ashamed at tralpsln' over here
to bother you Instead of rushln' over
to help you like I ought to being
your father that I'm kind of glad you
can't help me. I got no right to add
to your troubles. I'm supposed to
take care of you."
Bayard kept groaning:
"To lose your homo! To think of
you losing your home I And me stand
ing by I"
"Why, It's nothing, Bnyard. After
all, we're not In Belgium. We've got
friends. And relations. There's no
danger of nnythlng happening to us."
Daphne and Leila overheard this con
versation while listening In the hall.
Daphne clung to Lclln and burled
her fnco in Leiln's bosom to smother
her frenzied grief. Leila, mopping
Daphne's cheek with her own hand
kerchief, caught tho glint of a dia
mond on her finger. It glistened like
a grent, Immortal tear.
It Inspired her with n new hope.
Sho had often consoled herself with
tho thought of her Jewels as n final
refuge, but she bad put off the evil
day. Now she felt that tho time had
come. Sho threw open the door und
spoko Into tho gloom with a voice of
seraphic beauty:
"I couldn't help hearing what you
were saying. You needn't be down
hearted, though, for I'vo Just thought
of n wny to help daddy out." Ho was
"daddy" to her also.
Bayard nnd Wesley turned nnd
stared at her In amnzement. She
went on In n kind of ecstasy.
"My rings I" sho cried. "Don't you
seel My dlnmonds nnd rubles! And
I've got a necklace or two, and some
chnlns nnd brooches. They're worth
a lot of money. And you're wclcomo
to 'em, daddy,"
Tho men were confused with too
many emotions to know what to feel,
much less what to say. Leila's mis
sion wns so divinely meant that It was
sacrilege to rccelvo It with reluctance.
And yet for Wesley to let this new
daughtcr-ln-lnw pnwn her trinkets for
him was post-graduate humiliation.
Tho end of It was that Bayard de
manded the melancholy privilege or
visiting the pawnshop himself. Leila
made a heap of her adornments. Last
of nil sho took from her neck the littlo
plnquo he had given her with It's star
dust of diamonds frosting a platinum
filigree.
He kissed her mournfully nnd hur
ried nway to the pawnshop. Ho
skulked In nnd out like a burglar, and
ho brought awny a pack of tickets aud
a lump of money. Tho pawnbroker
npologlzed for lending him less than
half tho value of tho gems; so many
people were looking to the pawnbrok
ers for salvation, be said, that he could
not find cash enough for nil. Times
were hard Indeed when the pawnbrok
ers were overworked.
Bayard went home and surrendered
to Leila her funds. Sho pnsscd them
over to her father-ln-luw. Poor Wes
ley peeled ofT the minimum that would
serve as n sop to his creditors nnd
said he would take the afternoon train
home.
CHAPTER XVI.
Daphne bad watched Leila's littlo
scene with ns much confusion ns tho )
other two Kips. She felt n normal j
amount of Jealousy, of course, as worn- j
nn to woman, but rfo more than u -healthy
amount, for the liked Lclln J
and she wns grateful to Leila for lie-
lug able to rescue her father and for
being willing to. It wns a line thing j
for Lelln to strip herself of her last
splendor to help nn old fnther-ln-law
pay tho Interest on u mortgage on n
house In another town. Daphne gavo .
Leila full meed of applause for that. !
What "embitter 1 D.iphne wns that
It had to be Leila aud not herself thnt I
saved her father, and that Leila hnd i
to do the deed by spending things she
had not paid for herself ornaments, ,
gewgaws, gifts. j
Leila had collected from life perhaps
three thousnnd dollnrs' worth of Jew
els and Daphne had collected a llfty- I
dollar check, framed and that check
was in lieu of work. As soon ns slio
remembered thnt check she ran up to .
her room and took it down from tho
wall, ripped off the back of the frame
nnd removed the check from the mat. .
She studied it and thought, "Tho
first money and the last." Then a
vigor aud determination clenched all
her muscles In n kind of lockjaw. Sho
came out of the spasm in n tremor of
hysterical faith. She spoke her
thought aloud In a fury : "It sha'n't be
the last, it sha'n't, It sha'n't, by golly 1"
The feebleness of the expletive dis
gusted her. Sho tried to be powerful
by way of powerful langunge. Before
she knew it she ripped out u resound
ing oath that would have pleased good
Queen Bess. 'By G , I'll pay my way 1 ,
honestly I llko a man!"
All her powder exploded In that ono
detonation.
She fell over Into a chair In horror. '
The blasphemy seemed to rattle about
the little room. It terrified her. Mrs.
Chlvvis ran down the hall, carrying her
everlasting sowing, and tapped on tho
door and askod :
"Did you call me, my dear? Are
you 111?"
"No, thank you. I'm nil right. I
didn't say nnythlng."
Thnt was doubly false. Sho had
said something. In the slang of tho
hour she had "said something." She
had "said an earful," also a heartful.
Mrs. Chlvvis supposed that what she
had heard was some voice from the i
street, nnd went back along the hall, j
stitching ns she walked. J
Daphne took the check nnd went
down to Bayard's apartment. Bayard
was on his way to the pawnbroker's.
Leila was In his room. Old Wesley
sat In n chair facing n wall. He seem- j
cd to see through It. Daphne went to
him and put the cheek In Ills hand, ex
plaining what it was. I
"It's all I ever earned, dnddy, and 1
want you to have It."
He looked at It and smiled nnd tears '
fairly shot out of his eyes. He patted
her hand between his nnd snld: 1
"Why, honey, I couldn't take your
poor little earnings I Not for anything
In this world."
"Please, daddy; It would make me'1
ever so happy I" j
"But It would kill me I You don't
want to do that, do you? You must
spend It on yourself. Buy yourself
something nlco with It." '
Daphne becomes a real
"working girl," and she ex
periences some of tho trials
that beset the path of the work
ing girl In a city like New
York. Go on with the story In
the next issue.
