Never fear,” ho assured. “Thin will

thing for more than you expect to pa
for it, while the other man expects you
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 _

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

‘fl never could understand those

“Didn’t you know that the library
door was open and that I .was sitting
there?" ho demanded. 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-

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

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-

his neck.
"No," he corrected, "myself and Mrs.
Chester Vernon, nee Harvey. Chester

\ 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
a scpulchcr. _
“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

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
