ginal remark that this was small world
after all. and asked if he might walk with
her. as their paths lay in the same direc-
ton. He was further amazed to hear that
she rarely took a street car, even when
it rained. for she was fond Of walking,
and it turned out that he, too, was de-
voted depestrian. She believed what he
said. as women will when they have a
liking for man, and if his conscience did
not check him for his mendacity, it must
be remembered that his was conscience
nurtured in the wheat pit, and
let the lightning strike where it would.
She had foreseen no such test as this
when she gave her promise to the man
ager. Old Grimwood himself came to
the counter with a message, and his
i, baleful eyes seemed to search her CON
sience as it fell upon her. He made no
remark and turned away as she took
the telegram. 1t was to his Chicago agent
and was terse enough. Everything going
ur way it said She sighed as she sent
he four words flying over the wires.
Elinor hoped her strength would not
be put to a strain it could not stand,
and on leaving the building she went up
ng rapidity, and avoiding her accustomed
QUITE tnat she might not meet her lover.
AS she turned out of the wide avenue
into by-street she heard quick steps fol-
lowing her, and she was greeted by a
well-known voice that sent a tremor
through her frap4e.
| Hello, Elinorr What is the meaning
of this? Are you trying to escape me?

II thought" murmured the girl,
breathlessly, that you had such an ex-
citing day you might not-might not be
at the corner"
THE corneri'' he cried, his eyes open
ing wide, and she thought she saw a
trace of alarm in them, but the next
moment they danced again, and he
laughed. 20, yes, Of course, the street

fellow said to Noah, and authorities now
are convinced he was wrong"
The insistent electrical machine called
to the girl and she turned to it, but all
the while the abhorrent phrase kept tap
ping at her mind, "Then We'll have him
foul" If she could without telling what
she knew, give him a hint, but that would
merely be doing indirectly what she had
promised not to do directly, yes,
or indirectly either, for Sandys had
trusted her completely. Even if she
resigned : Immediately and warned her
lover, it would be a breach of confidence
to reveal what she learned while in the
employ of the telegraph company
There was nothing she could honestly
do. but resolutely hold her peace and
were no complaints that informa ton now
reached ears not intended for it. But
even had she done her work less honestly
or less eXpertly, he would have been a
brave man who found fault with her con-
duct of business, for the whole board Of
trade, with the possible exception of old
Grimwood, was avowedly in love with
her Some of the older men said they
liked her for her fathers sake, but popu-
lar as he had undoubtedly been, this
hardly accounted for the universal admir-
alton bestowed upon his daughter, and
the stock exchange would have risen as
one man to protest against her removal
and Mr.. Sandys proposed such a thing.
For the first time in history an action
of the Western Union received unstinted
appreciation. But they all recognized
that Howard had the lead as far as the
fair telegraphist was concerned, and that
he was the man to keep it. The reluctant
introduction which he had practically
forced from the manager had given him
an advantage at the beginning, and many
of his young rivals maligned their luck
that this advantage had not been theirs.
Howard sent many telegrams,a and lin
gered over the counter as he handed them
in, turning away often to find the cold,
critical eye of old Grimwood fastened
upon him, which made him rave inward
ly and wish the ancient broker would
attend ITO his own business; a complaint
which few had ever urged against the
hardened speculator.
One evening, as Elinor was walking,
home, young Howard met her at street
corrSr and expressed great surprise at the
coincidence He told her he was on his
way to see a sick friend, who lived on
10th street, and was quite taken aback
when he learned that she also lived on
18th street He made the brilliantly ori-

nipulation Of her pretty fingers, and there
perhaps somewhat out of working order
because of the jars received there. And
! before we, who are happily perfect, blame
him overmuch, it is well ITO take into ac-
| count the fact that he was alerady deeply
| in love with the girl, and much may be
be forgiven young man in that disturb
| ing, but delightful condition.
| The illness of Howard's friends proved
to be a case that apparently baffed the
medical skill of DisopoliS, for the young
man was compelled often to visit him,
and, of course, as the hours when he was
safree to do so conceded with those when
Miss Elinor was ON her way home, it is
not surprising that the two often met
and walked toward 10th street together.
AT first the girl was seriously alarmed
about the illness of the ill-fated friend,
for her memory was better than How
ards, and she was astOnished when the
invalid developed several new maladies
each week, bidding fair to become the
| most complicated instance Of human mis-
fortunes that ever appealed to harassed
physicians in vain. But at last the hap
less patient became mo longer necessary,
and was allowed to depart 10 the oblivion
from which he had been conjured the
pleasure of meeting and walking together
forming its own excuse for doing so. Once
they encountered old Grimwood taking
his shuffing constitutional stroll, ordered
by his medical advisers, and he leered at
them, lifting his hat as they passed, with
polite ostentation, but nothing he could
do seemed acceptable to Stillson Howard,
who scowled at Grimwood's perpetual
wink and neglected to return his saluta-
ton.
II suppose it is wicked Of me-" said
Elinor, "but | cannot help disliking that
man. Perhaps it is because l know it
was his opposition that caused the bank
ruptcy of my father, although that should
be no excuse for me"
Howard replied in rhapsody which
need not be here recorded, for he was
prejudiced against Grimwood, and made
no real effort to do justice to the distin-
guished talents of the shrewd old man; /;
talking instead of the impossibility of
angels baving anything but loathing for
beings of an exactly opposite nature,
whom il would not be polite to specify.
One day there appeared to be a little
furry in the wheat market, and Elinor
was kept more than usually busy in the
receiving and sending of kilograms. Most
of them were in cipher, and the others

might as well have been so for all the
impression they made ON the mind of the
fair operator. But once, when excitement
on the board was at its highest, ard the
noise at its loudest, two words caught
her attention, as an obtruding nan ar
rests a trailing garment. She found her
self writing the words "Stillson Howard, "
as the instrument clicked off the letters.
Then she read the finished dispatch, and
for moment her breathing stopped:
sc. L. Grimwood, Board Trade, DISC
polls:
"Induce Stillson Howard TO buy wheat
in large quantities. Then we have him
foul"
The signature was that of Grimwood's s
agent in Chicago, from which city the
message came. Many time every day
since she had been there the same sigma
ture had come over the wires.
For one brief instant arose the tempta-
ton to suppress the dispatch, but, with
trembling hands, she quickly folded it,
put it in an envelope and wrote the name
| of Grimwood She stood and watched the
telegraph boy threading his way through
| the excited throng to give the message
10 the OlQ man, WHO Iedu ~, SiuShS" eiiN
paper in his hand and thrust it into his
pocket. Then his malign eye rested on
young Howard with an expression OF such
intense hatred that Elinor shivered as she
who, a head taller than his fellows,
had his right hand appraised, and he shout
| ed in a triumphant voice that rang
through the hall:
| "I'll take 10000 bushels"
He was buying then, the girl knew that
much, and he needed little inducing. Old
Grimwood watched him, keeping aloof,
and taking no part in the struggle. And
many others watched Grimwood, whose
immobile face told them nothing.
/ you look a little tired, Miss McClin-
toch," said a member, coming up to the
counter. "Does the hubbub worry you?'
20, no; I'm used to that What is ii
all about?'
There's a little futter in the wheat
market, some queer rumors floating about.
! I've thrown up my hand myself. Some
body's going to get nipped, and think it's
first-rate time to go fishing"

She looked at the paper.

II think" she said, smiling, and
crumpling the paper in her hand, 'that
as Mr. Sandys has been so kind to me,

Exactly right-on this occasion. AS

Their eyes met caressingly.

with a little sigh of contcntment.
