The man who : .idiniiteii Wheaton to the
Porter hou.se : : lt l him elect between the

ntni : I Jiiul move aplrolll'iate' for an l : tcr-
\-\v ! basod on his dual social and busi-
h ' - relations : ; with the Porters. \Vhei-
toji heard the swish of Evelyn's skirts ! in
tho hall with a quickening heartbeat. Her
black pown intensified her fairness ; he
had : never seen her in black before , and
it gave- a new accent to her beauty as
she came toward him.
"It was a great shock : to us down town
to hear of your father's illness. lie seem
ed as well as usual yesterday. "
"Did 3-011 think soV I thought he look
ed worn when he came home last evening.
He has been working very hard lately. "
Wheaton had never seen her so grave.
lie was sincerely ; sorry for her trouble ,
and ho tried to say so. There was some-
thing appealing in her unusual calm ; the
low tones of her voice were not wasted
on him.
"Father asked me to send for you this
morning , but he. had grown so ill in a
few hours that I took the responsibility
of not doing it. But something in par-
ticular was on his mind , some papers that
Mr. Feuton should have. They are in
his box at the bank , and I was to give
you the key to it. It is something about
the Traction Company. You can attend
to this easily
"Yes , certainly. Mr. Fenton spoke to
me about the matter this afternoon. It
is very important and he wished me to
report ! to him as soon as I found the pa-
pers. No doubt they are in your father's
box , " he said. "He is always very me
thodical. lie smiled at her reassuring-
ly and rose. She did not ask him to stay
longer , but went to fetch the key. It
was a small , thin bit of steel.
"I'll return the key to-morrow , after
I've found the papers : : \ Ir. Fenton wants. "
"Very well. 1 hope you will have no
I
difficulty. Father evidently wished all the :
papers he has concerning the company to
be given to Mr. Fenton. Now , this prob-
ably is of no importance whatever , but
several years : ago father gave me some
stock in the street railway company. It
came about through a little fun-making
between us. We were talking of railway
passes-you know he never accepts any"
Wheaton blinked - "and I told him I'd
like to have l a pass on something , even if
it was only a street car line. "
She was : ; smiling in her eagerness that
he shculd understand perfectly.
"And he said he guessed he could fix
that by giving me some stock in the com
pany. I remember that he made light of
it when I thanked him , and said it wasn't
so important as it looked. He probably
forgot it long ago. I had forgotten it
mj'self-I never got the pass , cither ! but
I brought the stock down thinking that
Mr. : Fenton might have use for it. " She
went over to the mantel and picked up a
paper , while he watched her ; and when
she put it into his hand he turned it
over. It was a certificate for one hun
dred shares , issued in due form to Evelyn
Porter , but was not assigned. .
"It may be important , " said Wheaton ,
regarding the paper thoughtfully. "Mr.
Fenton will know. It couldn't be used
without j-our name on the back , " he said ,
indicating the place on the certificate.
"Oh , should I sign it ? " she asked in
the curious fluttering way in which many
women approach the minor details of
business. Wheaton hesitated ; he did not
imagine that this block of stock could be
of importance , and yet the tentative busi-
ness association with Miss Porter was so
pleasant that he yielded to a temptation
to prolong it.
"Yes. you might sign it , " he said.
Evedyu went to her father's table and
wrote her name as Wheaton indicated.
"A witness is required and I will sup-
ply that. " And Wheaton sat down at
the table and signed his name beside hers ,
while she stood opposite him , the. tips
of her fingers resting on the table.
"Evelyn Porter" and "James Whea
ton. " He blotted the names with Porter's
blotter , Evelyn still standing by him ,
slightly mystified as women often are by
the fact that their signatures have a
value. He felt that there was something
intimate in the fact of their signing
themselves together there. He was thVill-
ed by her beauty.
On his way down the slope to the car ,
Wheaton felt in his pocket several times
to be sure of the key. There was some-
thing the last bit uncanny in his posses-
sion of it. Yesterday William Porter
would no more have intrusted the key of
his private box to him than he would
have burned down his house. He read
into his errand a trust on Porter's part
that included Porter's daughter , too ; but
he got little satisfaction from this. He
was only the most convenient messepger
available. His spirits rose and fell as
he debated. He went to the side door
of the bank and knocked for the watch-
man to admit him.
"Going to work to-night , Mr. : Whea
ton ? " asked the watchman.
"There are some papers in Mr. Porter's
box that I must give to Mr. Fenton to-
night. They are m the old vault. " This
vault was often opened at night by the
bookkeepers and there was no reason why
the cashier should not enter it when he
pleased. The watchman turned up the
lights so that Wheaton could manipulate
the combination , and then swung open the
door. Wheaton thanked him and went in.
Two keys were necessary to open all of
the boxes ; one was common to all and
was kept by the bank. Wheaton easily
found it , and then he took from his
pocket Porter's key which supplemented
the other. His pulses beat fast as ha

felt the lock yield to the thin strip of
steel , and in a moment the box lay open
before , his eyes. Ho had flashed on the
electric ; light bulb in the vault and arecog-
nized instantly Porter's inscription
"Traction" on a brown bundle. lie then
opened his own box and took out his
Traction certificate I and carried it with
Porter's into the '
packet directors' room.
He sat playing with the package , which
was scaled in green wax with the plain
oval iiisignium of the bank. The packet
was larger than lie had expected it to be ;
he had "ho idea of the amount of stock
it contained ; and he knew nothing of
the bonds. lie felt tempted to open it ;
but clearly that was'not within his In-
structions. He must deliver it intact to
Fendon and he J would do it instantly.
He hesitated ! , though , and drew out the
certificate which Evelyn had given him ,
and turned the crisp paper over in his
hand. Eachxof th&m owned one hundred
shares : of Traction stock : he was not
thinking of this. hut of Evelyn whose
signature held his eye. It was an angu -
lar hand and she her
( ai ( ran two names to-
gether with a long sweep of the pen.
His thouglfts ! were given a new direc
tion by the ! noise of a colloquy ) between
the watchman : and some one at the do'or.
lie heard his own name mentioned , and
thrusting the certificates into his pocket
he went out to learn what was the mat-
ter.
'
' "Mr. Wheaton , " , called the watchman ,
who held 1 1 the door partly closed on some :
one. " : \1 r. Margrave : wishes , ; to see you. "
As " 'heatonllked toward the watch-
man. Margrave : strode in heavily on the
tile floor of the bank.
CHAPTER XV.
"Hello Wheaton , " said Margrave , I
cheerfully. "I've had a hard time finding ! I
you. Let's go into the directors' room ;
I want to see you. "

and made a row. I was about to turn
him over to the police when he began
whimpering and said he knew you. He
wasn't doing any particular harm and I
gave him a quarter and told him to get
out ; but he wanted to talk. lIe said- "
Margrave dropped his voice and fastened
his eyes on 'heaton-1Ie was a long-
lost brother of yours. JIc was pretty
drunk , but he seemed clear on your fam
ily history , Jim. lie said he'd done time
once back in Illinois , and got you : out of
a scrape. He told me his name was Will
iam Wheaton , but that he had lost it in
the shuttle somewhere ! and was known as
Snyder. I started him toward Porter's
where I knew you were doing the society
act. I heard afterward that he found
you. "
"And so you sent that scamp over
there to make a row. I didn't think yon
would play me a trick like that. "
"XO.Hm. , " Margrave continued mag
nanimously , "I don't care about your
family conllecti n : , ; . You're all right.
You're good enough for me. you under
stand , and you're good enough for the I
Porters. My father was a butcher and '
I began life. sweeping out the shop. and

WROTE HER SAME WIIEATOX INDICATED. I
The main bank room was only dimly
lighted , but a cluster of electric lights
burned brilliantly above the directors'
mahogany table , around which were
chairs of the Bank of England pattern.
"Have a seat , Mr. Margrave , " said
Wheaton formally. He had left the door
open , but Margrave closed it carefully.
Porter's bundle of papers in its manila
wrapper lay on the table , and Whcatoa
sat down close to it. v
"What you got- there , greenbacks ? "
asked Margrave. "If you were , just leav
ing for Canada , don't miss the train on
my account. "
"That isn't funny , " said Wheaton , se-
verely.
"Oh , I wouldn't be so sensitive , " said
Margrave , throwing open his overcoat
and placing his hat on the table in front I
of him. "I guess you ain't any better '
than some of the rest of fem. "
"I : suppose you didn't come to say i
that , " said Wheaton. He ran his fingers
over the wax seal on the packet. lIe
wished that it were back in Porter's box.
"We were having a little talk this af
ternoon. Jim , " began Margrave in a
.
friendly and familiar tone , "about Trac-
tion matters. As I remember it , in our
last talk , it was understood that if I
needed your little bunch of Traction
shares you'd let me have 'em when the
time came. Now our friend Porter's

Wheaton sharply with his small , keen
eyes. ,
eyes."I
"I don't know that it's so serious. I
was at the house this evening. "
"Comforting the daughter , no doubt , "
with a sneer. "Now , Jim , I'm going to
say something to you. The chances are
that Porter's going to die. I guess he
won't be able to vote his stock to-mor-
row. I suppose you've got it or know
where it is. " He eyed the bundle on
which Wheaton's hand at that moment
rested nervously. I want that stock ,
Jim , and I want you to give it to me to-
night. " ,
"Margrave , " said Wheaton , "you must
be crazy , or a fool. "
"Things are going pretty well with
you , Jim , " Margrave continued. "You
have a good position here ; when the old
man's out of the way , you can marry the
girl and be president of the bank. It's ;
dead easy for a smart fellow like you. It !
wquld be too bad for you to spoil such
prospects right now , when the game is all
in your own hands , by failing to help a . .
friend in trouble. I gave you your first .
job when you came here - "
"I appreciate all that , Mr. Margrave , "
Wheaton broke in. "You said the word
that got me into the Clarkson National ,
and I have never forgotten it. "
"Well , I don't want you to forget it.
But see here : . as long as I recommended
you and stood by you when you were a
ratty little train butcher , I think you
owe something to me. One night layt :

ship. One day , so the story goes , a
friend entered the room to find POQ
writing busily with both hands.
"What are you doing ? " asked the
friend.
"Writing with both hands , " said
/
Poe.
Poe."Both
"Both hands ! ' exclaimed the friend.
"But how on earth can you make any
progress in that way ? "
"Easy enough. It is a theory of
mine that it is a waste of time not to
be able to use both hands at the same
time. Both hands and brain may be
trained , with care and attention , so
that each hand may do its full share
of work-each hand being employed
on a separate task. It is not really an
affair of the hands at all , in the last
analysis , but an affair of the intellect. :
'I am training my hands and brain
now so that I can do twice as much
work as the ordinary person in a giv- I
en period of time. At the present mo- ,
j
ment I am writing a poem with my
right hand ; one that I confidently be-
lieve will startle the world. And with
my left hand I am blocking out a
wonderful story ; a story which should ,
capture thousands of readers.
"It will only be a short time before
I will be able to take my examina-
tions in this manner and dispose of
two subjects simultaneously. It will
save time and will give hands and
brain their full duty. "

hogs sold at $8.75 a hundred weight.
The prevailing high prices are due to
unusually light receipts/of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing
centers , the extremely high price of
grain last year prompting many farm-
ers to dispose of stock rather than
pay for feed stuff. Receipts of hogs
at the nine leading markets of the
;
West were 29,000 head less than for
the corresponding day last week , and
32,600 less than the receipts a year
ago. As a result of . the scarcity of
hogs , the price of provisions is now
toe highest In many years.
