A curious story went the rounds
ome little time ago about a lovely
foreigner, one of whose verbal slips
gave King Edward occasion fwr a
hearty laugh. A very lively person
age, with a delightful accent, she
in;ide such a favorable impression
upon the king that he asked her to be
his partner at bridge. "But. sir," she
said, "I really don't know how to
play." The king would take no de
nial, however, and she became rather
embarrassed. "I assure you. sir." she
said. "I don't know the difference be
tween a king and a knave." There was
an awkward silence, and then she real
ized what she had said, and was cov
ered with confusion. The king, of
course, laughed it off, and now tells
the story with gusto.
Marine Insurance.
Marine insurance is the oldest kind
of modern insurance. Its principles
were first employed in the fourteenth
century by the merchants of Barce
lona, in Spain, when that city was
the capital of the kingdom of Cata
lonia and when its hardy mariners
were second to none in the world.
About the same time, and also at
Barcelona, the famous code of mari
time laws known as the "consulado
del mar" was promulgated, which is
the foundation of the present shipping
laws of every country.
It Came Off.
The fair bather was in ihe greatest
danger when the heroic rescuer seized
her by the hair. It came off. Puffs
and coils and waves and rats it
strewed the shuddering sea.
For a moment the rescuer was
dazed.
Then he grasped the tiny knob of
real hair that remained on the lady's
head and drew her into shallow water.
Did she thank him for saving her
life?

CHAPTER XX. Continued.
"It's much better of ou to wish me
to come." I said with all my heart,
taking her hand.
"Come on Saturday." she said at
last.
"I'm at your service at any time."
I murmured.
"Don't." she said. "That's conven
tional. If you are to be conventional
you're not to come." And she laughed
nervously.
I looked into her eyes, and then on
impulse stooped and kissed the hand
1 still held.
"It was what I meant." I said.
She snatched her hand away, and '
as she did so I saw in the dim light
that hid the further end of the hall
the figure of the Wolf, massive, dark,
threatening, and my mind supplied it
with all the fires of passion and hat1
with which I had twice seen the face
inflamed.
Luella's eyes grew larse with won
der and alarm as she caught on my
face the reflection of the Wolf's corn
ins. But as she turned to look, the
figuie faded away without sound, and
there was only Mrs. Knapp appearing
in the doorway; and her alarm turned
to amusement.
''Oh. I was afraid you had gone."
said Mrs. Knapp. Would you mind,
Luella. looking after the guests a
minute?"
Luella bowed me a good night and
was gone.
"Oh. Henry." said Mrs. Knapp. "1
wanted to ask you about. Mr. Knapp.
Is your aid absolutely essential to his
success?"
"I presume
not. Though it would
probably embarrass him somewhat if
I should take ship for China before
morning."
As I held in the bank securities
woiih nearly J3.000.000. I believed that
I spoke within bounds.
"1 suppose it would do no good to
try to dissuade him from his plans?"
"It would take a bolder man than I."
said I. with a smile at the audacity of
the idea.
Mrs. Knapp smiled sadly in re
sponse. "Do you think. Henry," sh asked
hesitatingly, "do you think that Mr.
Knapp is quite himself?"
My mind leaped at the recollection
of the Wolf figure in the opium dens.
But I choked down tlte thought, and
replied calmly:
"He certainly has a vigorous busi
ness head on his shoulders."
"I wish you could tell me about his
business affairs." said Mrs. Knapp
wistfully. "But 1 know you wont."

said. "But 1 mustn't keep you stand- j

new thought and feelings to examine.

Street. He was ca-ryins en the fight f
with the smaller capital, yet by his
attack anil defense he employed his
resources to better lesult. The weak
ness of the syndicate lay in its bur
den of Confide ice and Crown Dia
mond. Doddridge Knapp had sold out
his holdings of both at a handsome
profit, bat. so far from ceasing his
sales of these stocks, as I had ex
pected, he had only begun. He sud
denly developed into a most pro-
nounced "bear." and sold both sr;iS j
for future cr ivery m gretu 'i.icks.

his assaults, r:. 'rown Diamond were

Yet in spite of their efforts to buy
everything that was offered Crown
Diamond "futures" fell to 40, CO, 25,
and even 20. closing at the afternoon
session at 20vi.
But the King of the Street was less
successful in his manipulations of
j Ome-;
The speculating public as
well as Decker and Company were
reaching out for the stock, and it was
forced up 10 and 20 points at a time,
closing on Saturday afternoon at 325.
"This is merry war," gasped Wall
bridge, at the close of the last session.
"I wouldn't have missed this for five
years of my life. Doddridge Knapp is
the boy for making the market hum
when he takes the notion. By George,
we've had a panic this week! And
last Monday I thought everything was
dead, too!"
"Doddridge Knapp!" I exclaimed.
"Is he in this deal, too?"
Wallbridge looken at me in a little
confusion, ami mopped his head with
comical abandon. Then he winked a
most diabolical wink, and chuckled.
"Of course, a secret's a secret; but
when the whole street's talking about
it. you can't exactly call it a close
corporation secret," he explained
apologetically.
I joined Doddridge Knapp at the
office and confided to him the fact that

the cat was out of the hag. The King
of the Street looked a little amused
at the announcement.
"Good Lord. Wilton! Where are
your ears?" he said. "The street had
the whole story on Friday. Decker
was sure of it on Wednesday. But I
kept under cover Ions enough to get a
good start and that was as much as I
expected."
"How do we stand now?" I asked. 1
knew tint our purchases had not been
progressing very well.
"There's TiOO shares to get," said the
King of the Street thoughtfully; "536,
to be accurate."
"That's not a very promising out
look." I sugse-ted. remembering that
we had secured only 100 shares in the
whole day's struggle.
"Well, there'll be an earthquake in
the street if we don't get them, and
maybe there'll be one if we do. Decker
is likely to dump all his shares on the
market the minute we win. and if will
be the devil's own job to keep the
bottom from falling out if he does."
The Kins of the Street then gave
some brief directions.
"Xow," he continued, "you are to be
at the Kxchange without fail on Mon-
day morning. I'll be there to give
! you your orders. Don't be one minute
hphinil iwnrf -,- thorn tvl- lr Tliot
to pay." And he emphasized his words
with an impressive growl that showed
the Wolf's fanes.
"I'll be on hand," I replied.
"Well, then go," he growled; "and
see that you come with a clear head
on Monday. Keep your thirst until
after the game is over."
A few hours later I was at the house
of the Wolf, but I forgot to ask for
Doddridge Knapp. Luella received
me with apparent indifference that
contrasted sharply with her parting,
and I was piqued. Mrs. Knaim was
gracious, and sailed between us be
fore I had received a dozen words.
"Where are your spirits to-night?"
she asked railingly. "Have you left
them in lower Pine street?"
"I have a heart for any fate." I re
turned lightly. "Am I too grave for
the occasion?"
'You're always under orders to be
cheerful," Luella broke in, "or at least
to explain the reason why."
"He can't explain," retorted ?ier
mother. "Mr. Knapp won't let h:"m."
But presently we found a suSject
in which Luella roused her interest,
and her bright mind and ready wit
drove away the fancy that had first

assailed me. Then some caller claimed
the attention of Mrs. Knapp, and I
was content to monopolize Luella's
conversation for the evening. At last
I was constrained to go. Mrs. Knapp
was still busied in conversation with
her visitor, and Luella followed me
once more into the hall.
"Can't you tell me won't you tell
me?" she said in a low tone that was
the complement of the silent speech
of the eyes.
"I wish I could." I whispered.
"I know it must be right it is
right," she said in the same tone. "But
I wish that I might know. Will you
not tell me?"
"I will tell you some day," I said
brokenly. "Now it is another's, and
I cannot. But it shall all be yours."
"All?"
"Everything."
In another moment I know not what
I should have done, so stirred and
tempted was I by her tone and look.
But in an instant her manner changed
and she exclaimed in a mocking voice:
"Now I have your promise, so I'll
let you go. You'd better not linger,
or mama will certainly have some
business to talk over with you." And
before I could touch her hand she was
gone, and her laughing "good night"
echoed down the hall.
I was puzzled by these changes of
mcod, and decided that Luella was a
most unaccountable young woman.
Yet under the subtle influence that
she cast upon me I felt the bonds of
duty relaxed and slipping away. I
had now to confess to myself that I
loved Luella Knapp. And she? And
; trying to untangle the skein, I was a
good deal startled to feel a touch on
my arm as I reached the sidewalk.
"Oh, it's you, Porter, is it?" I ex
claimed, on recognizing my retainer.
"Is Barkhouse here?"
"Yes, sir. An' here's Wilson with
a message for you."
"A message for me! From whom?"

Wilson took me aside and thrust an
envelope into my hand.
"That come to your room about !
o'clock, I reckon," he said. "Least
ways, that's the first we saw of it.
An' Mother Borton was there, an' she
says she must see you to-night, sure.
She wouldn't stay, but says you was
to come down there before you goes
to bed, sure, if you wants to keep out
of trouble."
J looked at the envelope, and in the
f'ekering light from the street lamp
I could make out the address to Henry
Wilton. By the handwriting and by
the indefinable scent that ose from
the paper I knew it for a message
from the Unknown who held for me
the secrets of life and death.
CHAPTER XXI.
At the Bidding of the Unknown.
The windows of Borton's shone
cheerfully, although it was past mid
night. At our cautious approach a
signal was given and with the an
swering word a man appeared from
the obscurity.
"All safe?" I inquired.
"It's all right," said Barkhouse.
"There's a dozen men in the barroom, i

in
I owned a black and tan terrier from
1ST! to 1SS1. I recei.ed him when
quite a puppy and he was with me
through part cf my university and the
whole of my seminary terms. In 1SS0
I married and in 1SS1 ray first child
was born. The first time she was
brought down into the sitting room I,
like a proud father, took the little one
in my arm. The dog came in and ex
pressed his jealousy by a series of
growls and an attempt to get at the
child by jumping. I gave him a hint
with my foot and he walked out of the
house. We saw nothing of "him for
over three months. One day while
walking near the outer part of the
town where we lived we saw old
Croaker, as we called him. Ke took

the hounds amongst them. But you're
to go in the side door, and right up
stairs." "Two of you may keep at the foot
of the stairs, just inside the door," I
said. "You may stand watch outside,
Barkhouse."
There was sound of rude song, and
the clink of glass and bottle in the
bar and dining room as I passed
through the side hall. But the door
was closed, and I saw nothing of the
late revelers. In the upper hallway
Mother Borton stood by an open door,
silhouetted dark and threatening
against the dim flickerings that came
from the candle in the room behind
her.
I had but opened my mouth to give
her word of greeting when she raised
a warning claw, and then seizing me
drew me swiftly into the room and
closed and locked the door.
"How air ye. dearie?" she said, sur
veying me with some apparent pride.
"You're safe and whole, ain't ye?"
"I am safe," I said, "though I had
a close shave in Chinatown."
"I heerd of it," said Mother Borton
sourly. "I reckon it ain't much good
to sit up nights to tell you how to take
keer of yourself. It's a wonder you
ever growed up. Your mammy must
'a' been mighty keerful about herdin'
ye under cover whenever it rained.'
"I was a little to blame." I admitted,
"but your warning was not thrown
away. I thought 1 was well-guarded."
Mother Borton sniffed contemptu
ously. "I s'pose you como down here
alone?"
"Xo." And I explained the disposi
tion of my forces.
"That's not so bad," she said. "Tljey
could git up here soon enough, I reck
on, if there was a row. But I guess
you didn't think I sent for ye jest to
tell ye you was a fool in Chinatown."
I admitted that I should have ex
pected to wait till morning for such
a piece of information.
"Well." said .Mother Borton, "that
ain't it. Something's up."
"And what might it be?" I inquired.
"The moon?"
Mother Borton did not take this
flippancy kindly. Her face grew dark
er and more evil as it was framed in
the dancing shadows behind her.
"You can git a knife in ye as easy
as winking if I'll jest keep my mouth
shut," she cried spitefully.
"Yes," said I repentantly, putting
my hand upon her arm. "But you
are my very good friend, and will tell
me what I ought to know."
The creature's face lighted at my
tone and action, and her eyes melted
with a new feeling.
"That I will," she said; "that I will,
as if you were my own boy."
She seized my hand and held it as
she spoke and looked intently on my
face.
"I was a-listening to 'em," she con
tinued in a low, earnest tone, glancing
around fearfully as if she had the
thought that some one else might be
listening in turn. "I was a-listening,
an' I heerd what they says."
"Who said?" I inquired.
"The ones you knows on," she re
turned mysteriously.
"What ones?" 1 persisted, though I
supposed she meant to indicate some
of my energetic enemies.
Mother Borton paid no attention to
my question, and continued:
"I knowed they was a-ta!king about
you, an" they says they would cut your
liver out if they found ye there."
"And where is there?" I asked with
growing interest.
"That's what I was listening to find
out," said Mother Borton. "I couldn't
hear, much of what they says, but I
hears enough to git an idea."
She bent forward and hissed rather
than whispered:
"They've found out where the boy
is!"
"Are you certain?" i asked in sud
den alarm.
"Pretty sure," she said, "pretty sure.
Xow you won't go near the place, will
ye, dearie?" she continued anxiously.
"You forget that I haven't the first
idea where the boy is hidden," I re
turned. "Oh. Lord, yes! I lcckon my mind's
going." grunted Mother Borton. "But
I'm afeard of their knives for ye."
"I wish I could give warning," said
I, much disturbed by the information.
"The protector of the boy ought to
know about this. I'm afraid I have
done wrong."
Mother Borton looked at me fixedly.
"Don't you worry, my dear. She'll
know about it all right."
Again the feeling stole over me that
this woman knew more than she told.
But I knew that it was useless to
question her directly.
"I suspect that she knows already.
I got a note to-night," said I. drawing
from my pocket the envelope I had re
ceived from the Unknown.
Mother Borton seized it. looked for
a moment at the firm, delicate hand
of the address and drew out the sheet
that it inclosed.
"Read it, dearie." she said, handing
it back after a scrutiny. "I can't tell
anything but big print."
I suspected that Mother Borton was
trying to deceive me, but I repeated
