better so that you can stop before your

have been my first work to find out who
was against me. "
But, " said her husband, don't !
tell you that didn't know there was
anybody on the OTHER side of the mar
ket?'
ooh, " said his wife impaticntly,
"you can always count on somebody be-
ing on the other side of the market. SO
you can't find out who it isl"
1--WE can't, said her husband.
Every well, " she said Now listen
to me- You have got g., SEQ i'll this,
and if you can get all the money Of Sir
Caesar and his friends to help you will
guarantee that you will come out with
doube-that is, $50, coo.
"Do you mean it," cried her husband
eagerly,
Il mean it, " said his wife solemnly
And may | tell Sir Caesar that you
said so?" he asked.
mo Whatever information | wish
Sir Caesar to have will give him my
self. You will tell him that you have
had to mention the dealers name. "
Very good, " said Madax, with an
intense relief in his face
"DO not let it get out, continued his
wife use all your force and see if
you can raise the market, and as soon
as the price gets up sell out at once.
Have all your plans made for selling
out Promptness is the thing i'll these
matters. Now | must go. ! will drop
you down at your Office.
Mr.. Madax knew what his wife said
about the markets generally came true,
| so he, i'll great jubilation, tclegraphed
| Sir Caesar Camp and others to meet him
ut his Office, and they did so. He told
| him that he had private information
about the market, and after some slight
hesitation they all went in. He arrang-
ed with them that the sale would be
made at once after the rise
Next day it was announced that a
million of money was put against the
corner, and wheat sprang up few
points, but not as much as they expect
ed it would. Madax could have sold
out without loss, but saw that he would
not double his money, for the corner
was stronger than any OF them had
thought, but after the slight rise down
went the price of wheat again.
The very bottom seemed to have drop
ped out of the market. Madax's e2J, 900
were swept out of sight, and so was the
million that his deluded friends had
put III with him. All confidence that
Madax had put in his wife had now de-
parted, so he merely telegraphed to her
that he was ruined and went home a
broken man.
About o'clock that night n carriage
drove up to the door, and his wife
Fpraug out and let herself into the house
with her latchkey When she entered
the room, her husband never looked up,
but she crossed to where he sat and pat
ted him gleefully on the back.
Come, come, my poor infant. Cheer
up!" she said.
Madax's only answer was a groan Of
anguish.
And so your little e25, 600 has gone
with the rest?" she said
You told me that | would double
my money, he said, "and | believed
you.
"Of course You believed me, and her,
it is, =" she said, taking Il check from
her purse There's my check for $50,
900, so you have doubled your money.

her husabnd, looking up.
