John Burt detected a flaw in this
conspiracy. He set aside three bat
talions of million dollars each. and
held them in reserve against the en-
trenched wealth in the Morris vaults.
Then he again scanned the field of
action, and with unerring judgment
placed his finger on the weakest
point in the Morris defenses. The
Cosmopolitan Improvement Company
was rampant on paper. John Burt
proposed to enflade it. The highest
legal authority assured him that the
franchises already granted to the Cos
mopolitan were invalid.
AS the crisis in his affairs neared,
John Burt took more direct charge
OF affairs. The trusted employees of
James Blake & Company were in
formed that John Burton" was a ST.

California interests, and that his or

In response to James Blake's mes
sage, Alderman Samuel Rounds called
and was conducted to the private Of
Ace of the famous operator.
Blake had anticipated with zest the
meeting between John Burt and Sam
Rounds. 1t had been contemplated
foi several weeks, but now that the
nour was at hand. he took little in
terest in it. He found it difficult to
respond to Sans hearty greeting,
and terminated the interview as soon
as possible.
"Heou are ye, Jim heou are ye."

Measuring Iances.

When Randolph Morris retired In
favor OF his son he transferred no
small burden of responsibility to the
shoulders of the latter. Arthur Nor
ris inherited his fathers money and
his ambitions. but not his mastery
grasp of affairs. Arthur Morris had
little sympathy with that fine old con-
servatism which stops short of direct
participation in corruption. He be-
lieved, as has been stated, that every
man has his price, and was willing to
pay it, provided it promised returns.
Ambitious to pose as a Wall Street
leader, Arthur Morris had assumed
n enormous load of stocks, and the
cuccess of his ventures had given
him the following which ever attends
the leader in rising market. In ad-
dition to this speculative risk, Nor
ris had secured several valuable
franchises, and was confidently in
expectation of others at the hands of
the city officials.
1t will be sufficiently accurate to
designate the Morris enterprise by
the lame of The Cosmopolitan I'm
provament Company" and to state
that its assets consisted in it's &C.
luir. {. and prospective franchises.
While purporting to afford relief
f,om existing monopolies, it was in
fact nothing more nor less than a
wellplanned attempt to acquire COM
petitors. In the parlance of finance
it was a "sand-bag."
Arthur Norris took up the work so
auspiciously begun by his father
the wreckirg of the l.. G o. railroad
company. In this campaign, General
Garden and many others had lost
their fortunes. Morris held control
Of the bonds, and looked forward to
the day when the stock would be
wiped out and this splendid property

The moment for action had arrived
for James Blake. He compressed his
lips. strobe through the room and a
moment later entered Johns Office.
In the final struggle passion was tri-
umphant. and he nerved himself as
best he could for the ordeal.
John Burt looked up. The haggard
expression ON Blakes face alarmed
him.
What's happened, jim? You're
pale as a ghost."
Its a TOOTH" said Blake, rubbing
his hand teuderly over his face. I'm
all right now, but it gave me bad
right. The dentist drew it this morn
ing dined with General Garden.
i suppose"
Has Jessie returned? Did you see
her, Jim?"
Miss Garden has not returned. but
she is expected to sail next Tuesday
said Blake, nervously lighting CT
gar. Il had hoped to bring you bet
ter news. John, but this is the best l
can do. | thought it would be indeli-
cate to ask General Garden for her
address. since nothing but cable
gram could reach her before the sail
ing date"
A shade of disappointment passed
over John Burt's face when Blake
spoke, but a smile chased it away
when he mentioned the time of her
departure.
You did right, jim" he exclaimed.
Lets see: Tuesday is the thir-
teenth. I'm glad Jessie isn't super
stitious. That should bring her to
New York on the twentieth. That's
thirteen days from now"
Blake turned ashen when the sec
ond thirteen was announced, but
Johns eyes were fixed on the inno-
cent calendar, his thoughts were four
thousand miles across a heaving
ocean, and he didn't notice the SUI
perstitious agony imprinted on the
others face. :.
John Burt leaned back in his chair
and half closed his eyes.

Obituary.

Marshall Smith Petty, who died
at Belleview April rs, 1904, was
born in Roanoke county, Va,
August Is, 1915. With his parents
he came to Missouri in 1854. Two
sisters of the deceased survive,
Mrs. David Palmere, of Belleview,
Mo-, and Mrs. Imboden, of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Petty was married
June s, 1870, to Miss Margaret
Irvine. To them were born five
children, one died in childhood,
while one of the daughters married
Mr.. Carty and soon after died leav-
ing one child. Mrs. Petty died
June IL, 1881, and Mr.. Petty was
again married October 10, 1882, to
Martha Williams. Four children
by the second marriage are left to
mourn the loss of an affectionate
father. In early life Mr.. Petty
professed saving faith in Christ,
and has in all these years been o
faithful member of the Methodist
Church. 1t mattered not whether
as superintendent of the Sunday
school, trustee or steward in the
church, he always sought to the
best of his ability to do his duty
to the church, his neighbor and
his God. The esteem in which he
was held was manifested by the
large concourse of friends and
kindred who pressed their way to
the Methodist church, where suit
able services were held by the
pastor, and then the long process
sion followed from the church to
the Wilson cemetery, where we
laid all that was mortal of this
good man to await the resurrec-
ton. The widow and children we
commend to Him who doeth all
things for the best. L. H. D.
