most frantic, hysteric money mar.
ket in the world. Horton and his
supporters held on with bull-terri
er grip.
The papers head-lined the fight OF
the new conner in a strange market
as something phenomenal OF this
kind. They even went SO far as to
predict victory for him. Wright's
blood went into the battle. There
was no withdrawing now. To win
menJ an accretion to his wealth far
beyond his pectations Originally
he went into the fight only to pro.
tect himself Now the love Of fight
grlpped him and all his bellcose at
tributes were put on razor edge.
The market sea-sawed for several
days. Then came the crisis. Two
millions of dollars were needed by
the Westerners to put them on rock
foundation. They had taxed their
strength too early. The securities
could not be obtained. The combIna-
ton was blocked, and Horace Wright
and five Of his friends were ruined
men. The long, powerful, financial,
arm of The East had reached out and
cut short the impudence of the West.
1t was at noon when Wright gave
up All his friends had gone the
limit of their fortunes. They were
wrecked men in a foreign mart.
Limp, used-up, beaten, Horace
Wright sat in the Wall street Office
of an X-Western Senator, the tape
i'll his fingers but his eyes on the
ground. One hope remained-it was
not founded on reason, but vague
Providence, for it was the impossi-
ble-that his enemies would quit too
soon.
Just then the ticker began to
sound and the tape to move. Wright
with his mind on the daughter and
his wrecked fortunes sounding all
the depth and shadows of despair
did not hear or see. Suddenly with
out exercise of will Oh his own part
he grabbed the tape and read the
meaningful dots and dashes. Fear
took hold of him for he could not
believe what we saw before him.
He became terrorized. Point by
point his stock rode the waves of
resurrection. He was saved.
1t took day before the storm
surging through the body OF Horace

living. They found it in the firm
Hunt & Clark. Of which Robert
Horton was a silent. but heavily
Interested partner.
A mouth later Horace Wright
broke down utterly by the strain
of his last bat greatest financial
contest and died in the rooms OF the
Holland House. His daughter had
nursed him TO the last. On his
deathbed the dying man sent for
Horton. His last words were:
