When Miss Myra Kelly began to write
her little stories about pubic school lie
in poor quarter of New York she had no
idea that they were destined to become
noted. She saw the funny side of that
phase of existence, as it appealed to her IN
her daily work. and she studied the dialects
of the children and reproduced them with
such fidelity and portrayed her characters
SO wildly that her copy soon became
eagerly sought by the publishers. Now,
after a period of serial publication, these
stories of Little Citizens" are assembled
and offered as book. They are well worth
the treatment. Some of the youngsters
have been quoted throughout the land. The
stories tax the tongue. for the dialects are

lieved, as has been stated, that every
man has his price, and was willing to
pay 1t, provided it promised returns.
Ambitious to pose as Wall Street
leader, Arthur Morris had assumed
an enormous load of stocks, and the
success 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
provement Company" and to state
that its assets consisted in its ac-
quir, { and prospective franchises.
While purporting. to afford relief
from 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 Morris took up the work so
auspiciously begun by his father

company. In this campaign, General
Garden and many others had lost

Of the bonds, and looked forward to

wiped out and this splendid property
fall into his hands. 1t was an open
secret in railway circles that the L.
& o. would then be absorbed by one
Of the two powerful companies which
inters ected its lines.
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

The moment for action had arrived
for James Blake. He compressed his
lips, strobe through the room and
moment later entered Johns Office.
In the final struggle passion was trt-
umphant, and he nerved himself as
best he could for the ordeal.
John Burt looked up. The haggard
expression on Blake's face alarmed
him.
whats happened, jim? You're
pale as a ghost!"
cts TOOTH" said Blake, rubbing
his hand tenderly over his face. I'm
all right now, but it gave me a bad
night. The dentist drew it this morn
ing. I dined with General Garden. l
Il 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 a CT
gar. 81 had hoped to bring you bet
ter news, John, but this is the best |
can do. l 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.
