One by one the directors Of the
bank had entered the room where
Randolph Morris. was making his
hEht against overwhelming odds.
Some he recognized by an almost i'm.
porecptibie bow. but no words came
from his lips as he bent over the tarc.
The faces Of the directors were pale
and drawn from tension.
when l. & o. had mounted TO
eighty dollars share. Randolph Nor
ris changed his tactics and attempted
TO check thp rise by throwing all his
holdings on the market. In less than
an hour he hurled thirty.hve thousand
shares into the speculative ~h.ri-
pool.

For an instant Appleton's heart
seemed to stop. Then his hand in
stinctivcly went to his side, where he
usually carried q revolver when on
duty ut night. He had forgotten it on
this trip, of all times the most need

realized that he was face to face with
the notorious rObbCr gang, but was
helpless But a possible hope flashed
through his mind just as the yawl
bumped against the side of his boat.
He dropped the steering oar and ran
to the endge of the deck, where there
was hole large enough to admit a
