and Had Serious Results.
From the New York Sun

The veteran UNFINISHED his long legs,
folded his hands back of his head, tilted
his chair and yawned, That was a sure
sign OF agitation within him, the only Wis
ible evidence of emotion that this expert
enced gambler ever gave. Three of the
other five men in the brokers' office moved
uneasily also. The other two pulled pla-
cidly at their long black after-luncheon
cigars. They appreciated the feelings of
the other knowing that they had taken
the desperate chance Of selling short at a
critical moment in a bull market; but be-
ing themselves those rare birds, brokers
who do not speculate and being sure of
their commissions in any event, they could
afford to be cool.
The ticker clicked and the veteran
showed his splendid nerve by assuming an
expression of absolute unconcern. He held
his chair suspended, while he looked al
most dreamily out of the window. He did
not even yawn again. One of the other
spectators, the youngest in experience of
those present. could not restrain himself
any longer but with an impatient ex-
clamation, jumped up and seized the tape
The hard, anxious look in his eyes disap-
peared, and a CLEAN of intense JOY lowered

Stunning an air of Indifference, he dropped
back into his chair.
"How much has it dropped?" asked the
veteran, slowly.
Somehow nothing ever escaped him.

frowned at having betrayed himself.
The partners exchanged quick smiles,
and the veteran relaxed for a moment also
