lent terms. so far as Harmon could see
He did not have a pleassnt time The
talk was largely shop" and although
Nettie changed the subject several times
in order TO include him, she was evidently
interested In Mr. Bonds explanation of
certain business points. and somehow the
topic continually recurred, operating to
Harmon's exclusion from the chat. Mr..
Bond showed no intention Of leaving. be
ing apparently well entertained where he
was; so that when Harmon departed, the
intruder was still there. No, he did not
have pleasant time. And, what was
worse, this trifilng affair suggested some
TX remedy dlsagreeble thoughts. How
could he expect that Others should not
appreciate Nettie as well rs himself and
wnat could he do to prevent their ad-
vanccs, having not the slightest claim
upon herr Yet how could he venture to
attempt to establish such claim, situ-
ated as he was' He couldn't. Therefore
be came to the conclusion that something
must be done at once, that by great risks
he must attain great results, and hasten
the slow accumulation OF dollar on dol
lar. Time was at once money and happ!-
ness to him.
A few days later II became generally
known among Baalbec's merchants that
young Curtis was plunging so recklessly
that make or break was the sole altern-
Gtive for him. Nettie heard the directors
telling each other how. expect
M an immediate advance. he had put
every dollar of his capital into flour, pay
ing in draft at thirty days. If flour
went down, she heard them say, Curtis
must infailibly go up-as If -four and he
were the two ends of a balance.
