Frank Ellison adjusted a gold mon

CHAPTER XIII.
I'RICKED.

I1SlChEO.
James Ellison was so surprised at
the sudden turn of events, and the
thought of how neatly he had been
tricked, that he could only stare at
the door through which Hendricks
had taken his triumphant departure.
He had been congratulating himself
on his cleverness in securing possess
sion of the agreement, only to find out
that it was but copy.
thoughts by the clicking of door
latch, and his brother entered the
room, waving paper gayly in the one
hand, while he hummed a song.
We'll. James. my boy, you see that
l am good for something after all!
How neatly we tricked the old fellow"
dancing up and down the room.
You are an asst" exclaimed his
brother, sententiously, turning with a
scowl, as if he resented his compan-
IONS ill-timed hilarity. The other
came over to him and looked at him
In wonder. He was much younger than
his brother, and good looking in reck-
less way. In his smart clothes and
smooth-shaven cheeks, 1t would have
been hard to recognize him as the wild
ragged being who few days before
had claimed his brothers hospitality
at Eaton.
What's the matter, Jimmy?" he
asked, fumbling the paper in his hands
nervously.
Matter enough" growled the elder.
"The rogue fooled us with a copy, and
that is what you are now holding in
your hand. He had evidently made
arrangements to fool u.s."
THE deuce!" and the brother UNI
rolled the document and examined 1T
carefully. Bless me if you amt right"
and then. tearing it up with gesture
of rage, tossed the pieces In the CRATE.
This done, he dropped down sullenly
into chair near his brother, and for
some minutes neither of the men said
word. Finally James Ellison rose,
and, coming over to where his brother
was seated, said in an earnest voice:
Il tell you what it Is, Frank; this fell
low annoys me, and / wish you would
take steps to relieve me of such an in
cubus-that is. mean to get possession
of that paper. don't want him

is" replied the other, thoughtfully.

that reason 1 am interested in clipping
his claws. Actually, have not enjoyed

Ne knew Very Little.

New York, Oct 16.--When the ship

the stand He became a director OF
the United States Shipbuilding compa.
ny in 1902 at the request Of Mr.. Deming
of Alexander 4 Green. The witness
could not say why Deming wanted him
to act. The witness said he had acted
as an incorporation for from fifty e
seventy-fve companies while he was
employed by the Corporation Trust
company. He had acted as director
for ten or fifteen Of the companies.
Mr.. Untermyer examined Seward al
length as to the circumstances attend

certificate of stock upon which be
qualified as a director. The purpose OF
the extended showing as to the acts
of the SO called dummy directorate
