THE DELUGE

CHAPTER XXI Continued.
"Do Bot put me to the test,' I
pleaded. Then I added what I knew
to be true: "But you will mot. You
know it would take some one stronger
than your uncle, stronger than your
parents, to swerve me from what I
believe right for you and for me." I
had no fear for "to-morrow." The
hour when she could defy me had
passed.
A long, long silence, the electric
speeding southward under the arch
ing trees of the West Drive. I re
member it was as we skirted the low
er end of the Mall that she said even
ly: "You have made me hate you
o that it terrifies me. I am afraid
of the consequences that must come
to you and to me."
"And well you may be," I answered
gently. "For you've seen enough of
me to get at least a hint of what I
would do, if goaded to it. Hate is
terrible, Anita, but love can be more
terrible."
At the Willoughby she let me help
her descend from the electric, waited
until I sent it away, walked beside me
into the building. My man, Sanders,
had evidently been listening for the
elevator; the door opened without my
ringing, and there he was, bowing
low. She acknowledged his welcome
with that regard for "appearances"
that training had made instinctive.
In. the center of my our drawing
room table was a mass of fresh white
roses. "'Where did you get 'em?"
I asked him. in an aside.
"The elevator boy's brother, sir,"
he replied, "works in the florist's shop
just across the street, next to the
church. He happened to be down
stairs when I got your message, sir.
So I was able to get a few flowers.
I'm sorry, sir. I hadn't a little more
time."
"You've done noble," said I, and
I shook hands with him warmly.
Anita was greeting those flowers
as if they were a friend suddenly ap
pearing in a time of need. She turned
now and beamed on Sanders.
"Thank you, she said; "thank you."
' And Sanders was hers.
"Anything I can do ma'am sir?"
asked Sanders.
"Nothing except send my maid as
soon as she comes," she replied.
"I shan't need you." said I.
"Mr. Monson is still here," he said,
lingering. "Shall I send him away,
sir. or do you wish to see him?"
"I'll speak to him myself in a mo-
meat." I answered.
When Sanders was gone, she seated
herself and absently played with the
buttons of her glove.
"Shall I bring Monson?" I asked.
"You know, he's my factotum."
"I do not wish to see him," she
answered.
"You do not like him?"
After a brief hesitation she an
swered. "No." Not for worlds would
she just then have admitted, even to
herself, that the cause of her dislike
was her knowledge of his habit of
tattling, with suitable embroideries,
his lessons to me.
I restrained a strong impulse to ask
her why, for instinct told me she had.
some especial reason that somehow
concerned me. I said merely:
"Then I shall get rid of him."
"Not on my account." she replied
indifferently. "I care 'nothing about
him one way or the other."
"He goes at the end of his month."
said I.
8he was now taking off her gloves.
"Before your maid comes." I went on.
"let me explain about the apartment.
This room and the two leading oat
of it are yours. My own suite is on
the other side of our private hall
there."
She colored high, paled. I saw that
she did not intend to speak.
I stood awkwardly, waiting for
something further to come into my
own head. "Good night." said I fi
nally, as if I were taking leave of a
formal call.
She did not answer. I left the
room, closing the door behind me. I
paused an instant, heard the key click
In the lock. And I burned In a hot
flush of shame that she should be
thinking thus basely of me and with
good cause. How could she know,
how appreciate even if she had
known? "You've had to cut deep,"
said I to myself. "But the woun Js'H
heal, though it may take long very
long." And I went on my way. not
wholly downcast
I joined Monson in my little smok
ing-room. "Congratulate you." he
began, with his nasty, supercilious
grin, which of late had been getting
on my nerves severely.
"Thanks," I replied curtly, paying
ao attention to his outstretched hand.
"I want you to put a notice of the
marriage in to-morrow morning's Her
ald." "Give me the facts clergyman's
aame plaoe. and so on." said he.
"Unnecessary," I answered. "Just

You'd better step lively. It's late,
and it'll be too late if yon delay."
With aa irritating show of delib

told hint I was already there, but he
wouldn't believe it until he had come
iato my private den and with his owa
eyes had seen me. "Well I'm jig
gered!" said he. "It seems to have
made less impression on you than it
did on us. My missus and' the little
un wouldn't let me go to bed till after
two. They sat on and on, question
ing and discussing."
I laughed partly because I knew
that Joe, like most men, was as full
of gossip and as eager for it as a
convalescent old maid, and that, who
ever might have been the first at his
house to make the break for bed,
he was the last to leave off talking.
But the chief reason for my laugh was
that, just before he came in on me,
I was almost pinching myself to see
whether I was dreaming it all, and
he had made me feel how vividly
true it was.
"Why don't you ease down. Black
lock?" he went on. "Everything's
smooth. The business at least, my
end of it, and I suppose your end,
too was never better, never growing
so fast. You could go off for a week
or two, just as well as not I don't
know of a thing that can prevent
you."
And he honestly thought it, so little
did I let him know about the larger
enterprises of Blacklock and Com-

pany. I could have spoken a dozen
words, and he would have been
floundering like a caught fish in a
basket There are men a very few
who work more swiftly and more
surely when they know they're on the
brink of ruin; but not Joe. One
glimpse of our real National Coal ac
count and all my power over him
couldn't have kept him from showing
the whole Street that Blacklock and
Company was shaky. And whenever
the Street 'begins to think a man is
shaky, he must be strong indeed to
escape the fate of the wolf that
stumbles as it runs with the pack.
"No holiday at present. Joe," was
my reply to his suggestion. "Per
haps the second week in July; but
our marriage was so sudden that we
haven't had the time to. get ready for
atrip."
"Yes it was sudden, wasn't it?"
said Joe. curiously twitching his nose
like a dog's at scent of a rabbit
"How did it happen?"
"Oh. I'll tell you sometime," replied
I. "I must work now."
And work a-plenty there was. Be
fore me rose a sheaf of clamorous tel
egrams from-our out-of-town custom
ers and our agents; and soon my an
teroom was crowded -with my local
following, sore and shorn. I suppose
a score or more of the habitual heavy
plungers on my tips were ruined and
hundreds of others were thousands
and tens of thousands out of pocket
"Do you want me to talk to these' peo
ple?" inquired Joe. with the kindly
intention of giving me a chance to
shift the unpleasant duty to him.
"Certainly not." said I. "When the
place is jammed, let me know. Ill
jack 'en up."
It made Joe uneasy for bm
to talk of using my "language"
would have crawled from the Battery
to Harlem to keep me from using it
en him. So he silently left me alone.

room. I looked ail round until. I had
met each pair of angry eyes. They
say I can give my face an expression
that Is anything but agreeable; such
talent as I have in that direction I
exerted then. The instant I appeared
a silence fell; but I waited until the

said, in the quiet tone .the army ofllcer

powerful interests behind Textile

A wave of restlessness passed over
the crowd. Many shifted their eyes
from me and began to murmur.
I raised my voice slightly as I went
on: "The speculators, the gamblers,

ever been."
Again I looked from coward to cow

hundred strong to three hundred
weak. Then I bowed and withdrew,
leaving them to mutter and disperse.
I felt well content with the trend of
events1 I who wished to impress the,
public and the financiers that I had
broken with speculation and specula
tors, could I have had a better than
this unexpected opportunity sharply
to define my new course? And as
Textiles, unsupported, fell toward the
close of the day.my content rose to
ward my normal high spirits. There
was no whisper in the Street that 1 1
was in trouble; on the contrary, the
idea was' gaining ground that I had
really long ceased to be a stock
gambler and deserved a much better
reputation than I had.
I searched with a good deal of anx
iety, as you may imagine, the early
editions of the afternoon papers. The

until the last few weeks but little at
tention has been paid to the impor

Characteristics ef "Jack.-
He Is a big man physically, six feet
in height aad weighing 208 pounds.
From his college days he has been aa
athlete, and, although football, golf
and riding have at various times ea
gaged his attention, his chief delight
is in yachting. In 1903, when he was
working in the London branch of his
father's firm he returned to this coun
try for a few months chiefly to see the
international yacht races.
.."Jack" Morgan has none of the bad
habits or frivolities that so oftea char
acterize the sons of the very wealthy.
He Is exceedingly methodical, and
during the years when he worked as a
clerk in his father's office and lived In
New Rochelle, he caught the 8:24
train to New York as regularly as
clockwork. Though he goes about in
society a good deal to please his wife.
he cares but little for the pleasures
of the "smart set." Even if he does
not prove as able as his father' he is
certain to make as many friends, for
he lacks the brusque manner for
which the elder Morgan is so noted,
and which has grown upon him with
years. Young Morgan is an affable
man and is far more democratic in his
manner than the organizer of the
Steel trust Although he lived in
England for quite a time and is said
to have introduced the custom, so 'un
usual in this country but common
enough among English bankers, of
taking afternoon tea ia business
hours, he is nevertheless considered
thoroughly American.
His devotion to the British bever
age is shown ia oae of the best pic
