spite his protestations. It made him able to meet his loans. make good all his obligations, hold on to his stock, and thus save his fortune. Grierson con- trolled the market and knew that at 8 o'clock the next day Delafield, safe from harm, would be again i'll his office to repay that loan. The man of stocks had kept his word.
 MT. Delatield had gone through so much during the last few hours that he was somewhat dazed and had not even stopped to reason about the matter when he received an urgent note from Miss Huntingdon requesting him to come at once to the house on Sixty-first street. He found Miss Huntingdon waiting for him in the drawing room sland he per ceived that her manneE>7as hesitant and nervous as she bade him be seated.
 ''No doubt, MT. Delaficld,' she be- gan, 'you are surprised at so summary a request to come here tN tN,night.
 None the less at your service. how ever, Miss Huntingdon.
 The young woman bowed. Delatield was a little taken aback at the abrupt ueSS OI Gne question, nave you brother, MT. DelatieldT'
 II had brother" he replied, with a slight frown, as if the recollection were not altogether pleasant. He is dead. "
 Was that his name?" she queried, holding yellow and creased paper be- fore him.
 Delafield looked carefully at the words written on it. He took the pa per from her hand and moved nearer the light. Why, yes, that was his name-Junius Delatield.
 Miss Huntingdon caught her breath quickly and eagerly asked, Are you sure that the name is not James Della. field, your nalne!'
 "Quite sure. The name was evident ly written by one whose hand trembled, for the 'u' is almost closed, resembling an "a, and the 'i' not being dotted and the last two letters slurred gives the name the appearance of something else James, as you suggest. But the name is 'Junius. What does all this mean?" turning suddenly. What has this to do with my brother or myself?'
 MT. Delafeld, did you know my fa' ther, Silas Huntingdon" not needing his questions.
 "No. But 1 believe understand now." Delafeld was a trifie embar- rassed. You are thinking, l believe, of my unfortunate brothers connection with your fathers affairs.
 Miss Huntingdon shook her head sad ly, saying, "Then l have done you 8 great wrong" She bowed her head and hid her face in her hands. Delafield looked at her perplexedly. "Mr. Della field," she continued, lifting her head but not meeting his eyes, 'the name ol that paper was written by my father 1 few moments before his death, when his voice failing him, he took tha means to let me know the name of tn one who had figured so cruelty in hi story of disgrace. Through all thes years I have believed that you were tn man who-your brother. It. .s througl my influence that you M,ir <" ntarl. ruined in the street today. That was t.

And yet, believe ne. good as we'll as i'll. Woman's at best a contradiction still.

Miss Huntingdon, can't I induce yOu to
 Sell me yO'tr interest il CGrlOttG7" now that you have made such a paying investment you can afford to sell out high. The truth of the matter is that l want a controlling interest ill this mine, which, as more or less of an oper- ator yourself, you will readily appreci- ate."
 Miss Huntingdon nodded. Well ?" she interrogated.
 When you invested in Carlotta, the stock was at 70. You have made neat sum out of it, and the dividends are paying handsomely, yet" he conclud- ed, attentively regarding the young wo- mans face, "in return for your hold ings l can offer you such properties as will accrue immensely to your benefit, infinitely more so than Carlotta shares. ''
 As Miss Huntingdon listened to the bankers words a curious expression passed over her face and was gone the next moment. Rehectively she traced with the tiny point of her slipper the figures in the rug at her feet. Bending toward the inancier in a confidential way. she spoke:. : ~
 Really, MT Grierson, have every confidence in your dealing literally and justly with me. Still, ," raising her dark eyes to the inscrutable orbs of the banker and tapping the arm of her chair with her forefnger, II want controlling interest in Carlotta myself. |"
 The man of the street opened his eyes suddenly; then the lids dropped over them again, and they were as inscru- table as before. Really, my dear Miss Huntingdon, and he laughed soft little laugh, II fear that cannot be- with your 5, 1000 shares of the stock and none to be bought.''
 Miss Huntingdon was impatiently tapping the floor with her foot: "Oh, no, not impossible returned she. For instance" and she raised her finger to insure Grierson' s close attention, my 5, 900 shares, together with your, say, 10, 900, would enable me to bear Car lotta, to-er-slump things, as it were. /" she finished, with smile.
 "Am to understand, then, that you wish to purchase my interestf" asked Grierson, with wicked grin, for he thought she was making game of him.
 Well, no, not at present. answered the fair operator in stocks, leaning back and calmly surveying him, "but you must not be surprised at receiving an offer from me at any time"
 Perplexed to know what she was aim- ing for, the banker rubbed his chin with his chubby hand. Then you will not sell, even in the light of my liberal pro- posal?"
 Listen, MT. Grierson, edging for ward again in her chair and speaking very earnestly. We may both secure what we desire. Let me propose so1ne- thing to you. Suppose we mass our forces, under the condition which shall name, and you shall have control of the Carlotta mine. l will sell if'--

In short, my dear Miss Hunting don, l wish to make you an offer of marriage. have long admired you, and l feel confident that you would make me charming wife.

 The banker stopped, and leaning for ward looked eagerly down into the young woman's face. What he saw there did not please him, for her expres- sion of astonishment was succeeded by one of impatience.
 ''Mr. Grierson, cannot" said she. quickly rising and facing him.
 Why not?" he asked, for a moment disconcerted, but thinking only that he had been too abrupt, too confident.
 "For the simplest of all reasons. MT. Grierson, she returned petulantly, "I do not love you. Really, am surprised that you should take this time to speak of such thing. did not come down here to listen to proposals of marriage. | came to'--
 "Go on." quietly urged Grierson, a cunning light creeping to his beady eyes.
 II regret that you have broached this subject, MT. Grierson. Miss Hunt ingdon replaced her wrap about her shoulders and began moving toward the door. Grierson saw her bite her lip in vexation and fancied he detected sus- picious moisture in her eyes. ''It is of no use, she was thinking; he would never forego the deal now.'
 "One moment, Miss Huntingdon, !" said the banker, with what struck her as tantalizing infection in his voice, II have word to add. l have been thinking of the ruin you propose to bring upon MT. Delafeld. Mir. Della field has never injured me-" Miss Huntingdon started. A singular light came into the eyes partly hidden by the long flashes.
 Do you mean to say that you de- cline to carry out that part of the con- tract?' she asked.
 II fear shall haveto decline."
 You will save him?" 1T think SOL
 "How?"
 By furnishing him the means with which to pull through
 It was plain to Miss Huntingdon that MT. Grierson's act was one of petty spite. He did not say to her in words, You will not marry me, and I will not do your bidding,' but the cause of his refusal to carry Out that part of their agreement was as evident to her as if he had spoken it in words. Con- cealing her pleasure at the unexpected turn of affairs, she cast glance at him in which she concentrated all that would still further irritate his wounded pride. Ut is no more than I might have ex- pected from such as you," she said, "but you dare not do what you threat en-"
 You shall see,''' said the banker quietly.
 "And you shall see, she replied de- fiantly. Turning upon him another con- temptuous glance, she swept out of the room.
 HI mi" muttered MT. Grierson. "A clear case. She loves that man, and doubtless he has tilted her. Nothing but his ruin will satisfy her. Ten to one before this time tomorrow she will have dropped the principal part of her fOrtune !"

CHAPTER V.

At 9 o'clock that evening, when MT. James Delafield entered his carriage,
 with few words to the driver, he was in a very different frame of mind from that in which we last saw him. At the close of the market that day Carlotta was moving upward again, almost as readily as it had fallen. At the very moment when he had given up every thing for lost he had received, to his great astonishment, a note from MT. Grierson, insisting on his. immediate presence at the Empire bank if he wanted help. Once in Grierson's 8 sanc- tum, an immense sum of money had been pressed upon the youn9 man, de-

CHAPTER W.

It was but few moments after this that the tall figure of Miss Huntingdon tripped up the steps of the Empire bank into the office of Grierson 6 Co.,, bank CTS and brokers. Not finding the sen- for partner in. she was ushered into his private room to wait for him.
 Miss Huntingdon. too, knew how the market was falling. Carlotta was now at 84. She heard man in the outer office say, There will be nothing left of Carlotta by n1ght.' Miss Hunting don drummed nervously on the desk with her fingers and bit her lip. Her face, far from expressing the satisfac- tion Griersoh would expect to see there, was pale and anxious. All night long she had fought her battle. Wavering between her purpose and the feeling she experienced for Delatield-for the truth had been forced upon her that she loved him-she had worn the long night through. The woman in her had tri- umphed-love had gained the fight.
 But what now did love avail? The blow was struck. She read the news in the later papers with sick heart. Grierson was doing his work. Dela- field would be ruined. Ruined! Was there no way to save him. even now? She must see Grierson!
 And now she was waiting. oh, so anx- iously. If there were any way to save Delafeld, she was determined that no effort on her part should be spared, but the utter hopelessness of inducing Grier- son to see matters in any other light maddened her. Why should he change when now everything was going his way? What if--
 Grierson came in.
 ''Ah, Miss Huntingdon, you are the identical person want to see. Been waiting long? Carlotta is now at 80, and you will have your wish fulfilled in a very short time. Delafield is on the ragged edge. His loans have been call ed, and he has been given until o'clock to meet. the advances on his stock. What little money he has outside of his Carlotta shares is tied up. and even that would not suffice him. We caught him just at the right time. All the morning I have been forcing the stock down by floating the shares in small lots at time. Just as quietly have been buy ing them back. Delafield can't help himself, h.. can't get any money now, and he will go down. By tomorrow morning at II o'clock he will not have enough money to buy half dozen shares of Carlotta If he wanted them. for Carlotta will be on it's feet again, and the work will be done.
 "And now, Miss Huntingdon, con- tinued the man of stocks, lowering his voice and speaking more slowly. II

 Pope. Well, Mir. Grierson, 1 am glad to see you, greeted Miss Huntingdon as she entered her drawing room. Wont you be seated?" waving her hand to- ward 8 chair. Taking seat herself, she began drawing on a pair of long white gloves. II believe your call is one of business, '' she continued, smoothing her fingers into the left hand glove, "at least inferred so from your note. You will pardon me if seem abrupt, but as am about to leave in few moments for the opera we must come to the point at once." And Miss Huntingdon smiled apologetically at Mr. Grierson.
 Just so, assented he suavely. II called to see you in regard to the Car lotta mine.
 ''Oh, perhaps you wish to know my opinion concerning stocks, y interposed the young woman, with quizzical look at her vis-a-vis.
 Well, hardly that, " was the reply, with some hesitation. Then, quickly and bluntly; Miss Huntingdon, can't induce you to sell me your interest in Carlottar You have some 5000 shares, believe"
 An arching of the eyebrows indicated mild surprise. II do not know that l care to sell, answered she. "Carlotta was quoted at 110 at the close of the market today, was it not?''
 You are correct, Miss Huntingdon. However, stand ready to give you that figure in return for your stock. There is much in it for me-" he went on ten tatively, "and little for you-that is,

Miss Huntingdon s heart, whose pulsa- tions hitherto had been increased main ly ly the rise or the fall of the stock market. beat very fast now with far different emotion. Why should she be so moved at the sound of this mans voice, at the warmth of his regard, when her heart should have been filled with hatred for him? Perversely her thoughts ran back to that day in the glo- rious summer time-the excitement of the great race and the gay party aboard the little vessel that followed the con- testing white wings far down the bay. She remembered how she had met him and whither was she letting herself drift? No, no, this would not do. She must answer him now. There could be only the one thing to say, ot course, and he was waiting.
 ''Mr. Delafield," she said, turning very white, ''you have pained me-but not in the way you think" she added quickly, seeing him shrink back. IT. I-oh, no, l can never say what you want me to say. The thing is impos- sible. impossible. think, MT. Dela- field, think--oh, go, beg of you, go. You don't know-Mr. De1afield, go. l can't say any more." She was all un- nerved. She had not calculated on this. and the sight of this man standing there with that hurt look in his eyes was too : much for her to bear.
 Delafeld bent his head, and it was some moments before he spoke. Then he raised himself proudly and steadily regarded her. In low voice he said:
 am very sorry, Miss Huntingdon. do not understand, but perhaps have no right to an explanation. Good night and the young man turned and left her.
