he was in consultation with the execu-
tors of the estate.
In the meantime a check for the full
value Of the bonds, e240, 900, had been
made out. 1t was drawn ON the Chem
ical bank and was, in fact, similar to
those always given between bankers ON
bond transactions.
Brea had drawn his own check for
$240, and had it in his hatband along
with the $240, 900 dummy check. The
plan is palpable enough. When the mes
senger brought the bonds, Brea, or New
man, was going to say: "All right, l
have the check here. Bring the bonds,
and we will go to the Chemical bank
and get them to certify my check. |"
Then when at the bank he would take
out both checks, letting the messenger
only get glimpse Of one, and that one
would be the small $240 one, which
Brea would pass in through the window

would be done, and when handed out Of

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
CHATTER 1.-The writer describes
his boyhood. He lived in n happy
home. Later he obtaiued a situation
with a sugar broker. He soon began
to speculate in stocks in small way
and led fast life. getting into debt.
In partnership with Weed, he sets up
for stockbroker, bnt does little
business, and the firm is soon dis
solved. Meeting detective Urving)
he is introduced by him to two other
detectives STANLEY and White all
three being rascals. They offer the
writer 10000 to 90 to Europe and
negotiate stolen bonds. He accepts
and sails for England. u-Tells

satlon he overheard. However, neither
his curiosity nor suspicion would have
been of any consequence or concern to
us had . it not been that in going out
Brea left on the table with some papers
the memorandum or pro forma bill Of
the bonds given him the day before by
the bankers. Strangely enough, the body
of the bill alone was intact. The head
ing bearing the name of the firm and
purchaser had been torn off and de-
stroyed.
Elder picked it up, and having some
vague suspicious of plot somewhere he
determined to so around among the
hundred or more bankers and brokers
in and around Wall street and investi-
gate quietly, without making any re-
port to his superiors, his Immediate su-
perior being of course our honest friend,
the worthy chief of the detective force,
who was anxiously looking for his per-
centage of the deal The whole force
was split up into cliques, each intensely
jealous Of every other, each with its own
stamping grounds, and each strictly pro-
tecting his own preserves.
At $50 the next morning Elder start
ed around, carrying the fragment of the
memorandum he had picked up from
bank to bank and from one broker to
the other. He had spent over an hour
making inquiries and walked into Jay
Cooke & Co. s Office just as the mes
senger was leaving with the bonds for
James office. Fifteen minutes more,
and the game was ours. Elder produced
the memorandum. and they ut once rec
ognized it as their own. Elder asked
them if they knew their man and We're
sure it was all right.
They said it was perfectly right, that
Mr.. "Newman" had been introduced by
the head of the firm in Philadelphia and
was also client of Edwin James, but
then it was strange the bill should be
mutilated. Elder averred his belief that
a fraud was intended and suggested that
he and the manager should accompany
the messenger with the bonds. This
alarmed the manager, and he directed
Elder and tho messenger to await his
return. Selling his hat, he started for
James Office to investigate. James was

81 suppose you ariU pan currency for the
bOndsf"
there, and Brea, the pseudo Newman,
was in the private office with two checks
ready. anxiously awaiting the arrival Of
the messenger with the bonds.
Myself and all the other members Of
our party were near by, watching and
awaiting Developments. The manager,
considerably perturbed, entered the
Office, and James saw at once the bust
ness was failure, for he knew of course
that any suspicion as to good faith
would be fatal to the success of the plot.
Brea, hearing the voices and supposing
it was the messenger with the bonds,
opened the door of the private office and
was vexed to see the manager, who,
shaking him by the hand, told him the
bonds would arrive soon, at the same
time saying, II suppose you will pay
currency for the bonds:" Towhich Brea
replied, ''Iwill go to my bank with You
now and get my check certified for tho
amount and give it to you, or leave it
until the messenger comes with the
bonds''
This offer, along with Brea's cool
ness, apparently disarmed all suspicious,
and he said: "Oh, all right. Tho mes
senger will go to tho bank with you. !"
He left the Office, but stopped in the
hall for a moment, then turned and
hastily re-entering said. by tho way,
Mr.. Newman, please draw the currency
from the bank and pay the notes to the
messenger upon delivery Of the bonds F"
So the grand coup had failed, igno-
miniously failed, and through what ap-
peared a trivial accident, but this was
fate. More such accidents at critical
periods will appear before tho history is
done that changed the whole course Of
our lives.
The dummy check was still in our
hands, and was at once destroyed, 80,
with nothing to fear, we coolly walked
up Broadway.

Mr.. Roses Challenxc,

That the course Of Lord Dunraven in
Withdrawing from the International yacht
races has not met with the entire approval
of the English sporting public is demon
strated by the receipt Of d challenge from
a member Of the Royal Yacht Squadron by
the New York Yacht Club. 1t Is yet too
early to calculate the chances of meet
ing Of representative yachts Of the two na-
tions next season. as certain formalties
and preliminaries must be observed in the
matter of all contests for the America 8
cup, which Mr.. Charles Rose of London
now seeks to rescue from the hands of the
yachtsmen on this side Of the water. Yet
the fact remains that the action Of the
American committee in charge Of the races
in declining to yield to the demands Of
Lord Dunraven has not frightened off all
foreign sportsmen from these fields. In
deed. the literature on the subject, which
Is becoming alarmingly voluminous, Is
proving more and more conclusively the
absurdity Of Lord Dunraven's position and
the wisdom Of the stand taken by the cup
committee. II now. in spite of all this dis
agreement. race between the two nations
can be pulled of, to sporting phrase,
there will be little reason for the American
people to regret the unfortunate episode
Of 1898. which serves to show that even a
noble sportsman can get the sulks.
