CHAPTER XV.- ( Continued. )
Wheaton's hand rested again on the
packet before him ; he had flushed to the
temples , but the color slowly died out of
his face. It was very still in the room ,
and the watchman could be heard walk-
ing across the tiled lobby outside. A pa
trol wagon rattled in the street with a
great clang of its gong. Wheaton had
moved the brown parcel l a little nearer
to the edge of the table ; Margrave no-
ticed this and for the first time took a
serious interest in the packet. He was
not built for quick evolutions , but he
made a sudden movement around the ta-
ble toward. Wheaton , who was between
him and the door.
"What you got in that paper , Jim ? "
he asked , puffing from his exertion.
Wheaton did not speak , but ho picked
up the parcel and took a step toward the
door , Margrave : advancing upon him.
Wheaton reached the door , holding the
package under his arm.
"Don't touch me ; don't touch me , " he
said , hoarsely. Margrave still came to-
ward him. Wheaton's unengaged hand
I
went nervously to his throat , and he fum- I
bled at his tie. The sweat came out on
his forehead. It was a curious scene , the
tall , dark man in his evening clothes ,
pitiful in his agitation , with his back
against the door , hugging the bundle
under one arm ; and Margrave , in his
rough business suit , walking toward
Wheaton , who retreated before him.
"I want that package , Jim. "
"Go away ! go away ; I" ! The sweat
shone on AVheaton's forehead in great
drops. "I can't , I can't-you ; know I
can't I" !
"You coward ! I" said Margrave. "I
want that bundle. " He made a gesture
and Wheaton dodged [ and shrank away.
Margrave laughed again ; a malicious
mirth possessed him. But he grew sud-
denly fierce and his fat .fingers closed
about Wheaton's neck. Wheaton huddled
against the door , holding the brown pack-
et with both hands.
"Drop it I Drop it I" ! blurted Mar-
grave. He was breathing hard. :
A sharp knock at the door against
which they struggled caused Margrave
to spring away. Ho walked down the
room several paces with an assumption
of carelessness , and Wheaton , with the
bundle still under his arm , turned the
knob of the door.
"Hello , Wheaton ! " called Fenton ,
blinking in the glare of the . lights.
"Good evening , " said Wheaton.
"How're you : , Fenton , " said Margra p ,
carelessly , but mopping his forehead with
his handkerchief.
"Here are your ; papers , " said Wheaton ,
almost thrusting his parceJ into the .law-
yer's hands.
"All right , " said Fenton , looking curi
ously from one to the other. And then
he glanced at the package , as if absent-
mindedly , and saw that the seal was un
broken.
"Good night , gentlemen , " he said. "Sor-
yj to have. disturbed you. "
"How much Traction was in that pack
age ? " asked Margrave , closing the door.
"I don't know , " said Wheaton , smooth-
Ing his tie. The watchman could be
heard closing the outside door on Fen-
ton.
"No , I don't think you do , " returned
Margrave. "You'd fixed it pretty well
With Fenton. If he'd only been a minute
later I'd have got that bundle. I didn't
realize at first what you had there , Jim ,
until you kept fingering it so desperate-
ly. Now there are those share you own ,
Jim. I hope we won't be . interrupted
while you're getting them for me. "
Wheaton hesitated.
"I'm going from here to the Gazette
office. You know they do what I tell 'em
over there. They'd like a little story
about the aristocratic Wheaton family of
Ohio. Porter's girl would like that for
breakfast to-morrow morning. "
Wheaton hung between two inclina-
tions , one to make terms with Margrave
and assure his friendship at any hazard ,
the other to break with him , let the con-
sequences be what they might.
"Hurry up , " said Margrave : impatient-
ly ; "this is my busy night and I can't
wait on you. Dig it up. "
Wheaton's hand went slowly to his
pocket. As he drew out his own certifi-
cate with nervous fingers , the certificate
which [ Evelyn Porter had given him an
hour before fell upon the table.
"That's the right color , " said Mar-
grace , snatching the paper as Wheaton
sprang forward to regain it.
"Not that ! not that ! That isn't
mine I" !
Margrave stepped back and swept the
face of the certificate with his eyes.
"Well ! I knew you stood next , Jim , " 1
he said , insolently , "but I didn't know I
that you were on such confidential terms
as all this. And you witnessed the sig- I
nature. How sweet and pretty it'all is I" !
The paper exhaled the faint odor of
satchet , and Margrave lifted it to his
nostrils with a mockery of delight.
"I must have that , Margrave. I will
ao anything , but I must have that You *
W'ouldn't- "
Margrave watched him maliciously ,
thoroughly enjoying his terror.
"How do you know I wouldn't ? Give
IB the other one , Jim. "
Still Wheaton held his own certificate ;
1e believed for a moment that he could
radc the one for the other.
"I'm not going to fool with you much
onger , Jim ; you either give me that ( cer-
: ificate or I ' go to the Gazette office as
) trai&'ht as r : can walk. Just sign it in
) lank , the way the other one is. I'll
itnsss it all right. "
Wheaton wrote while Margrave stood
) ver him , holding ready a blottsr which

hfi applied to 'Wheaton's signature with
unnecessary ! care.
"I : hope this won't cause you any in-
convenience with the lady , but you're un-
doubledly a fair liar and you can fix that
all right , pa1"ticularly"-with a chuckle
.
- "if. the old man _ cashes in. * '
"Wheaton followed S rgra '
( a ton \ Margrave's move
ments as if under a spell that he could
not shake ; off. Margrave , walked toward
I tlyj floor with an air of nonchalence ,
"
J pulling bn his gloves. !
"I haven't my check-book with me ,
Jim , but I'll settle for your stock and
Miss Evelyn's , too , after I get things re
organized. It' ' ! be worth more money
then. Please give the young lady my
compliments , " with irritating suavity.
lIe stopped , smoothing the backs of his
gloves ! placidly. "That's all right , Jim ,
ain't it ? " he asked , mockingly.
"I hope you're satisfied , " said Whea-
ton , weakly.
"I'm never satisfied , " said Margrave ,
picking up his hat.
Wheaton wished to make a bargain
with him. to secure his own immunity ;
but he did not know how to accomplish
it. Margrave had threatened him , and he
wished to dull the point of the threat , but
he was afraid to ask a promise of him.
Wheaton did not follow him to the door ,
but Margrave seemed in no hurry to
leave. The watchman went forward to
let him out at the side . entrance.
"If he'd only been sure the oold man
would have died to-night , " he reflected
as he walked up the street , "he'd have
given me Porter's shares , easy. " He
went to his office , entertaining himself
with this pleasant speculation. "If I'd
got out of the . bank with that package
he'd never dared squeal , " he presently
concluded.
CHAPTER XVI.
John Saxton was a good deal the worse
for wear as he swung himself from a
sleeper in the Clarkson station and bolt-
ed for a down-town car. Coal mining is
a dirty business , and there are limits to
the things that can be crowded into a

long strides , but it did not open es he
grasped the knob. He kicked it sharply ,
but there was still no response from with-
in.
In."What time is it , Saxton ? " he asked
over his shoulder , without abating his
pounding or knocking.
"Five minutes of nine. " Saxton was
aware now that something important was
in progress. He did not know Fenton
well , but he knew that he was the attor-
ney for Porter and the Clarkson Nation
al , and that he was a : serious character
who did not beat on doors unless he had
business on the inside. Fenton now called
out loudly , demanding admission. There
was a low sound of voices and a sharp
noise of chairs being pushed over an un-
carpeted floor ; but the knob which Fen-
ton still held and shook did not tuni.
On the inside of the door Timothy
Margrave and Horton , the president ,
Barnes , the secretary , and Percival , the
treasurer of the Clarkson Traction Com
pany , were holding the annual meeting
of that corporation , in conformity with
its articles of association , and according
to the duly advertised notice as required
by the statutes in such case made and
provided. They had , however , antici !
pated the hour slightly ; but this was nbt ,
Margrave said , an important matter. His
notions of the proper way of holding
business meetings . were based on his long
experience in managing ward primaries.
Horton , the president , called the meet-
ing to order.
"Well , boys , " said Margrave , "there
ain't any USB . waiting on the other fel
lows. Business is business and we might
as well get through with it. I vote
twenty-five hundred and ninety-seven
shares of the common stock of .this com
pany ; you gentlemen haven't more than
that , have you ? " The fact was that the
three officers present owned only one
share each.
"I move , " said Barnes , "that we pro-
ceed to the election of officers for the
ensuing year. "
"And I move , " said Percival , "that the

suit-case. He had been crawling through
four-foot veins of Kansas coal in the in-
terest of the Nepons'et Trust Company ,
and had been delayed a day longer than
he had expected. He continued to be in
a good deal of a hurry after he reached
his office , and he kicked aside the mail
which rustled under the door as he open-
ed it , and knelt hastily before the safe
and began rattling the tumblers of the
combination. He pulled out a long en-
velope and then with more composure
consulted his watch.
It was half-past eight. He took from
his memorandum calendar the . leaf for
the day ; on it he had posted a cutting
from a local newspaper announcing the
annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Clarkson Traction Company. The meet-
ing was to be held , so the notice recited ,
between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m.
of the second Tuesday lof November , at
the general offices of the company in the
city of Clarkson. The Exchange Build-
ing was specified , though the adminis-
trative offices of the company were on the
other side of town. Before setting forth ,
Saxton examined his papers , which were
certificates of stock in the Clarkson Trac-
tion Company. They had been sent to
him by a personal friend in Boston , the
trustee of an estate , with instruction 'to
investigate and report. Having received
them just as he was leaving for Kansas ,
there had been no opportunity for con-
sulting Porter -or Wheaton , his usual ad-
risers in perplexing matters. , Traction
stack had advanced lately , despite news-
paper attacks on the company , anu he
hoped to sell his friend's shares to ad-
vantage.
Saxton had never been in the Ex
change Building before and he poked :
ibout ! in the dark upper floors , uncer-
uncer-j
tainly : looking for the rooms described in
he : advertisement. Another man , also
[ peering about in the hall , ran against
lim.
"Beg pardon , but can you tell me - "
"Good morning , Mr. Saxton , are you
icquainted in this rookery ? " It was
! ? enton , who carried a brown parcel un-
ler his arm and appeared annoyed.
"No ; but I'm learning , " John answer- ,
d. "I'm looking for the offices of the
rraction Company. Its light seems to be
lid under a busne } . "
"I'm looking for it , too , " said Fenton.
' 'Some ' humorist seems to have changed
: he numbers on this floor. "
They traversed the hails of several
tours in an effort to find the numbers
; pacified in the notice. Fenton occasion-
lly kicked at a door in his rage. Sax-
on called to him presently from a dark
: orner where he held up a lighted match
o read the number 'on the transom.
"Here's our number , but there's no
ame on the door. "
Fenton advanced upon the door with

ly.
Steps could be heard in the outer hall : ,
and Margrave looked at his watch.
"I niove that we adjourn to meet at
my office at two o'clock , to conclude the
election of officers. " He gathered up hig
certificates and prepared to leave. ,
( To be continued. )
Too Wise to Be Hasty.
He was an unruly youngster. A
writer in the New York Sun says that
he had not been in the car five min I
utes before all the women present and
most of the men were explaining to
anybody who would listen what they
would do with the boy if he belonged
to them.
To the general babel there was one
woman who contributed nothing. She
was a gentle , gray-haired body , who
remained unruffled by the small tem
pest raging.
"If that child belonged to me , " said
the woman beside her , "I'd make him
mind if I had to half kill him ,
woul a't : you ? "
"I don't know , " said the quiet wom I
an. "I don't know what I should do. "
I
"You don't ? " exclaimed the positive
woman. "Well , I know. But then , I
maybe you are not used to children ?
Maybe : you never had any of your I
"
own ? _
"Oh , yes , " said the little woman , "I' i j '
brought up thirteen. That's why I
don't know what I should do. "
Similar Symptoms.
It was the open season for baseball
as a man limped into the police ' sta.
tion , with a black eye and one arm in
a sling.
"Say , captain , " he said , addressing
the officer in charge , "I want protec
tion. "
"Oh , you do , eh ? " queried the offi.
cer. "Are you a married man or an
umpire ? " N .
Some System.
"I'm hunting up all my famous an

in spite of my handicap. " - Cleveland

II I I The Senate Monday adopted the
Brown resolution providing for the
submission . , of the income tax amend-
' - - -
ment to State legislatures. Senator
, Rayner made a fight against : the cus
toms court feature of the lidmTnlstra-
' tive a ne dme 1. He declared that the
I court would be found to be unconsti
. tutional because , while dealing with
I questions at common law , It makes no
I provision for trial by jury , which
every suitor under common law has a
I right to demand. The provision > , after
being defended by Republican lawyers ,
was accepted without division , but not
until It had been amended in accord-
ance with Rayner's suggestion to ex
clude criminal cases from its opera-
tion. There was only a small part of
the membership present when the
House met. Chaplain Couden offered
a prayer expressing patriotism appr.o- ;
priate to the day. A message from the
President recommending an appropii
tion to pay the claim 'of a subject tI
Montenegro , for the loss of certai
property in Texas , In 1865 , was read
and referred to the committee on ap -
propriations. ! At 12:10 the House ad.
journed until Thursday.
. . . .
Consideration of the tariff bill la
committee of the whole was completed
Tuesday and that measure was report-
ed to the Senate. A finance commit-
tee amendment fixing the tobacco du
ties was read , but was taken back by
that committee on protest of Senator
Daniel of Virginia that the minority
members had not been given a fair
chance to consider it. Among amend-
ments adopted was one exempting la
bor organizations , fraternal benefi-
ciary societies and organizations ex
clusively for charitable and educa -
tional purposes from the corporation
tax. At 3:32 o'clock the Senate ad.
journed to allow the bill to be printed
and the Senators time to look It over.
The House was not in session.

The finance committee forces com
pleted arrangements Wednesday for
the final vote on the tariff bill in the
Senate Thursday. The straight in-
Income taxers were afforded the oppor-
tunity they have so long been working
for , a chance to vote directly in favor
of the income instead of the corpora-
tion tax , and they were defeated 28 to
47. The corporation tax amendment
was thus finally made a part of the
'
tariff bill and Senator Clapp , of Min
nesota succeeded in having it amend
ed so as to include holding companies.
After a hot debate on the customs
court the . finance committee's provis-
n. .
ion was accepted. Senator La Follette
offered several amendments , but they
were rejected. The House was not in
session.

After a long speech by Senator La
Follette and repeated attempts at
amendment , almost all of which were
failures , the Senate passed the Payne-
Aldrich tariff bill shortly after 11
o'clock Thursday , and adjourned at
11:18 at night. Senator Bradley of
Kentucky succeeded in amending the
tobacco schedule so as to remove thg
free sale of tobacco "in the hand. "
This clause is said to have caused the
forays of the night riders. Free hides
and free boots and shoes were again
defeated. The House held a session
which was largely formal. The at-
tendance was large.

During a session lastir.g nearly foui
hours the Philippine tr.riff bill and
the bill automatically continuing the
Porto Rican budget wore passed by the
Senate Friday. Only a nominal re
.
sistance was offered by he minority to
these measures. An amendment by
Senator Johnson ( Ala. ) declaring the
intention of the Unitp-l States even-
tually to grant independence to the
Philippines was onpoeed as being out
of place in this bill. and was rejected.
Senator Culberson sought to limit the
operation of the Porto Rican act to
July 1 , 1910 , but his amendment for
that purpose was defeated. The Sen-
ate entered upon an agreement to ad-
journ three days at a time until the
conference report en the tariff bill is
ready for consideration , and also not
to enact any legislation when it does
convene. After a < ! 'bnte of an hour
and a half the Hourp referred the tar-
iff bill to the conferees disagreeing to
all of the 847 amendments of the Sen-
ate , by a vote of 178 to 151. Eighteen
Republicans : voted against this action
and one Democrat voted for it. ChaIr-
man Payne's plea to have the conferees ! :
sent , to the conference unhampered
wifh instructions was granted. At 3 : 26
the House adjourned to Monday noon ,
when the joint resolution proriding
for the submission tp the several
I
States of the income tax amendment
to the Constitution will be considered. -
BRIEF : 2JTSWS ITEMS.
According to an official statement
given out by President Frank M. Mil
ler of the Louisiana Game Commis
sion , 5,500 deer were killed in that
State during the season just closed.
Adolph Deutsch , Sr. , of New York , ,
refused to obey an order of the chil
dren's court to whip his boy as an al- i
ternative to paying a fine of $2. He
also refused at first to pay the fine , but
paid it under protest.

Last autumn an American in Paris
jumped into the Seine and rescued an _ _ _
old man from drowning. The specta-
tors applauded , the old man was duly
grateful , but soon after his return to
his hotel for dry clothes the America I
was waited upon by a police official.
The rest of the story is below , as L *
Figaro printed it.
"American energy is amazing ! Mar '
velous I" ! the official began , very polite- .
ly indeed. "But when monsieur drew
the old one from the Seine just now ,
monsieur should have observed that
there were great dogs on the banks of
the river , being led up and down bj )
policemen. "
"I did see them , " said the American.
