banking house of Randolph Morris &
Company has suspended"
CHAPTER XXI.


One by one the directors OF the
bank hal entered the room where
Randolph Morris. was making his
fight against overwhelming odds.
Some he recognized by an almost i'm
perceptible bow, but no words came
from his lips as he bent over the tape.
The faces of the directors we're pale
and drawn from tension.
When L. & o. had mounted to
eighty dollars share, Randolph Nor
ris changed his tactics and attempted
to check the rise by throwing all his
holdings on the market. In less han
an hour he hurled thirty-fve thousand
shares into the speculative whirl-
pool.
1t was like stemming Niagara with
a straw. The price did not sag. The
powerful interests back of l.. az o.
pledged three millions of dollars for
this stock and clamored for more.
In response to a demand for mar
gins, Randolph Morris deposited sew
ties. Alarmed by rumors, patrons of
the bank formed in long lines and de-
manded their deposits. There was no
CLEAN of hope, but grim in defeat the
old banker stood by the wheel and
watched the ship of his fortunes as
she swiftly neared the reefs of ruin.
A clerk entered and handed to Ran
dolph Morris the yellow slip of paper
containing the bulletin. He read it
slowly. crumpled it in his hands and
threw it on the floor.
Grasping his massive gold-headed
cane, he brought it down on the glass
dome which covered the delicate
mechanism of the ticker. One of the
flying fragments cut his cheek and a
few drops of blood slowly trickled
down his face.
1.-THE corporation of Randolph Nor
ris & Company is bankrupt" he said,
rising to his feet and looking into the
faces of his astounded associates.
'The Beard of Directors will convene
at once and take formal action to that
effect. Be seated, gentlemen, and
come to order. You may make the
motion for suspension. MIR. Mason"
When Randolph Morris adjourned
the directors meeting he looked about
for his son. but he was not in the
room. He found Arthur Morris with
in the Gagged enclosure occupied by
the paying teller In his hprds were
several packages of money.

1t was only moment past ten
O'Clock when General Garden walked
brisldy up the marble steps and err
tered the Norris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
Mr.. Mason, the vice-President of the
company.
Il hold an option on ten thousand
shares of L. & o. stock" said the gen
eral. producing an envelope from an
inside pocket.
"Yes?" Mr.. Mason raised his eyes
with a faint show of interest. and
tapped the brass rail with pencil.
$50 l understand, General Garden"
Under its terms I can take up the
stock at stipulated figure, provided
the market price is above twenty-six
dollars share"
That is the agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock. Cen
eral Garden. Do you wish to pay it
to-day?"
A sarcastic smile played around the
corners of MIR. Mason's mouth.
Il do. demand the stock and will
meet the terms in cash.
Very well. General Garden, it can
quickly be arranged"
There was no change of expression
on the grave face of the banker as
he turned to a clerk and ordered him
to produce the stock from the vaults.
Mr.. Mason glanced at the option and
made a rapid calculation.
1.-TWO hundred and eighty-two thou

dollars and seventeen cents" he said.
passing over slip of paper. ''Is that
your tigure?"
General Garden bowed and mo-
toned to one of his companions, who
placed a satchel on the counter. From
its depths General Garden produced
the money demanded and exchanged
it for the stock.
81 trust your faith in the value of
these certificates may not prove
amiss." said Mr.. Mason with an icy
smile. 81 bid you good day. sir"
General Garden bowed gravely and
turned to the door. AS he did so Ar
thur Morris entered, his face flushed
with triumph In his haste he ran
into General Garden.
Il beg your pardonl oh, it's you,
is it?" and an evil light came to his
eyes. What in hell are you doing
here? You're discharged-fred dye
understand? Get out of here and
keep outl"
Morris stepped behind the brass
railing and from that retreat shook
his hand threateningly at the man
who had aroused his rage. General
Garden deliberately removed his
glasses and walked towards hici.

Shortly before noon news agency
made public a statement which
FASTENED the crisis. 1t read:
THE deal in l.. & o. was engineered
by Mr.. James Blake, the dashing
young operator whose advent in New
York was signalized by the recent up
heaval in prices. For several weeks
Mr.. Blake has quietly been absorb
ing blocks of L. e o. To-day he Sc
cured ten thousand shares from Gen
eral Marshall Garden, which, with the
holdings of Mr.. John Hawkins. gives
the syndicate of which Mr. Blake is
the head absolute control of this valu-
able property. Another railroad com
pany has been a bidder for control,
but the Garden stock gives Mr.. Blake
the coveted advantage.
1T is rumored that a well-known
and powerful banking house is short
this stock to the amount of nearly
forty thousand shares. 1t opened at
29k and rapidly advanced to rs, and
then by leaps and bounds reached 125.
1t is believed that only a few scat
tered shares are yet in the market,
and that the stock is cornered.

Causes of Nervous Prostration.

Believe me-" said a Spruce street
physician who makes a specially of
treating nervous disorders, "it isn't
ovorwork that superinduces nervous
prostitution. The men who succumb
to nervous strain are not the men who
work continually under high pressure
The man who has ne relaxation has
no time to brood over his health, and
brooding is fatal to a man whose
nerves are highly strung. If a man Is
constantly busy in mind from morning
until night he isn't in any danger of
nervous trouble. It's only when he re-
lakes and gives himself a certain
amount of leisure that he is danger

be proud OF you. But, Jessie, you
must not let Mr.. Blake propose to you.
You won't will you, Jessie?"
''Why?" asked Jessie in surprise.
Because" and Edith faltered.
She lowered her eyes in confusion,
but when she looked again in Jessie's
face they famed with passion.
"Oh, Jessie, can't you understand?
I'm jealous of you, horribly, madly
jealous" and she threw herself sob
bling on her cousins breast. u know
it's not your fault that he loves you.

When Jessie could command herself
she asked If Edith really loved Jim.

and he fell In love with you at the

truth. MAKE him stop Jessie; you
can find some way to do it; ! know
you can. oh. why are people always
falling in love with those who don't
love them. and are blind to those who
love them to death?'
Jessie could not answer that world

socthe her. In anger and mortifica-
ton Edith rushed from the room. and
when Jessie knocked at her door
few minutes later there was no re-
Spouse but the mufiled sound of sobs.

What are you doing there?" de-
manded Randolph Morris.
'Cashing a check" was the sullen
reply.
You are a thief as we'll as a fool"
roared Randolph Morris. his hand on
the door and his features convulsed
with passion. mo officer of bank

He grabbed Arthur Morris by the
shoulder and dragged him through the
narrow doorway.

he shouted, his face convulsed with
rage. You have dragged me down
to shame and poverty in my old age.
I hope, by God, that everything you
buy with that money will give you

His voice was choked, the blood
surged to his temples, his hands
clutched at his throat. and with a
gasp for breath he fell heavily to the
floor.
Before Arthur Morris realized what
had happened. others were by his
fathers side. The stricken old finan-
cier partially recovered consciousness
before q physician arrived, but again
sank into a most alarming condition.
"Apoplexy," said the physician, in
answer to question. "'Is this his
first attack" he asked Arthur Nor
ris.
81 don't know" was the reply. i've
seen the governor SO mad he couldn't
speak, several times. but never SO bad

AS he spoke Randolph Morris
opened his eyes and they rested on
his son.

his eyes. Take him away, and give
me chance to live"

Arthur Morris, as the doctor gave him
a signal to stay out of sight. Keep
