Never fear,” ho assured. “Thin will

will have to pay more.” _

“Suppose father should iind it out,”

sho whispered, and a ahado of awe crept into har tones. Sho was a little afraid of this father, who was one of the ilnancial kings.

“Ho would probably hold up the mar- ket and clean mo out," ho concluded. f".l'hcrefore ho must not know."

“Tell me all about it again,”, sho

pleaded. "I ain:ao__alow."

Pstfiently he went"into the details again. F. and V. stock was steady at 78. Ho had reason to know that there would bc a drop in a week. Bo would purchase "calls," tho right to sell with- in ten days, shares of tho stock at-78. The proiit would come if the stock was selling lower than that. If things went well, the stock should fall to 65, leav- ing him a profit of $8 on every sharo _that ho sold.‘

Soma large operators had combined

to force down the stock, and ho was to profit by his knowledge of that fact bo- fore the break came. Two days before _ Morton Harvey had refused his cou- sent to the marriage of his daughter to Chester Vernon and had suggested that

inspiration, and he determined to stake his entire fortune in an effort to show what he could do.

For two days ho worked industrious-

ly buying- "puts," or permissions, to sell certain' blocks of stock at stipulat- ed prices. » If tho price did not fall bc- low that price he would ba reduced to practically nothing. If it fell below lic could demand the difference between the prico and the actual selling price in cash. ' Beyond a hurried telephone call ho

did not hear from- Dorothy, for after the exchange closed he was busy-with his agents settling their ilgures.

It was not until tho third day that

he placed his ‘block -and in jubilant tones invited- Dorothy, to lunch with him. "I'vo won,” ho axulted; “there is nothing to do now but to sit still. and watch~__tho_ stock fall. I don’t even have to bother about depressing- it. The-other fellow kindlyj doel_tliat~ for lime." H - ' `

it was a haggard faced man whopro- sented himself at tho restaurant. “lt’s all up," he said in answer to Dorothy'l eager questioning. "I have just had word that- tho pool has . boon aban- doned."

“Cleaned out?" laughed Vernon. "Why, it's juetthe other way around.

Sho I looked bravely into his face.

"Yen," sho said quietly, “I did know. I knew that you were there and that you would hurt Cheaters deal if you could." “And fooled me into putting the mar- ket down to help him out?' he laugh- ed.

Dorothy hung her head. Ho crossed the room and raised tho dimpled chin.

"Daughter," he said tenderly, “I guess i'd better confess that I om beaten. I think I'm getting to be too old a man to play the game all alone. I think I shall form A partnership of Harvey de Vernon."

‘_‘You and Chester?" she cried, spring- ing up and throwing hor arms about his neck.

"No," he corrected, "myself and Mrs. Chester Vernon, nee Harvey. Chester won't need me if he has you. You may form a matrimonial partnership with him. That would bc satisfactory."

\ A Jewel ll m Wife.

A certain Russian nobleman visiting

Paris was noticed to be constantly plunged in deep sadness. ‘Ho wore on his finger a very remarkable ring. large enough for a bracelet, and which ex- tended over his hand like a buckler for thc ring finger. it was of a greenish color and was traversed by red veins.

A lady, mectinghim in public, von-

tured to say:

"You wear a vary handsome ring.” "lt is not a ring," llo answered, "brit

“This jewel," ho continued, “ia my

wife. I had the misfortune to lose her some years since in Russia. Bhe was an italian and dreided tho bed which awaited her after this life. I carried her body to Germany, where I was ac- quainted with a celebrated chemist, whom I directed to make of tho body a solid substance which I could carry about _with mc. Eight days after he sent for mo and showed me the empty coiiin amid a horrid collection of in- struments and olemblcs. The jewel was lying upon tho table. Ro had thi-ou means of some corrosive mb-

Iovol Uno For a Cigar.

Tho stout man stood puihng at an

unllglited cigar, bsudsged tightly with a series of rubber bands. Wrapped in this manner the cigar gave the appear- » ance of a fractured limb fresh from the hands of a surgeon.

“I leo you getting ready to ask tha

question," said the stout man. “You r want to know what I have my cigar done up in these rubber, binds for. -Well, 1’ll tell you. It is a littlotrlck of my own invention. I was a cigar fiend for several years, but I have now broken oi! the habit-liavon't-smoked one for several years. I am now try- ing to break myself of tho chewing habit. This cigar, -you see, gives me a dry smoke and an imitation chow at ` the some time. If something does not

happen to it this cigar will last mo two weeks. Those rubber bands keep It from failing to places."-New York Paola. .
