Wheaton went to and from his work
with many misgivings. Several of
Wheaton's friends had confided to him
their belief that he ought to have been
appointed receiver instead of Saxton,
and there was little that he could say
to this, except that he had no time
for it. He had become nervous and
distraught, and was irritable under
the jesting of his associates at The
Bachelors. There was a good deal
Of joking at their table for several
days after Saxton's appointment over
Margrave's discontinue, to which
Wheaton contributed little. He felt
decidedly i'll at ease under it. Thomp-
son, the cashier, had come home, and
Wheaton found his presence irksome.
He had seen Margrave several times
t at the club since their last interview
at the bank, and Margrave had nodded
distantly, as If he hardly remembered
Wheaton. Wheaton assumed that
sooner or later Margrave would offer
to pay him for his shares Of Traction
stock. But while the loss of his own
| certificate. under all the circum-
stances, did not trouble him, Mar
graves appropriation of Evelyn Por-
ter's shares was an unpleasant fact
that haunted all his waking hours.
One evening, a week after the re-
ownership incident, he resolved to go
| to Margrave and demand at any haZ-
ard, the return of Evelyn's certificate.
The idea seized firm hold upon him,
! and he set out at once for Margrave's
house. He inquired for Margrave at
the door, and the maid asked him to
go into the library. They were en-

John Saxton, Receiver.

At o'clock Wary Raridan sat on
a table in the United States court
room, kicking his heels together and
smoking cigarette. A number, of re-
porters stood about; the ex-president,
the secretary and the treasurer of the
Clarkson Traction company loafed
within the space set apart for attor-
neys and played with their hats. The
court was sitting in chambers, and
those who waited knew that in the
judges private room something was
happening. The clerk came out pres
emily with his hand full of papers, and
affixed the official file mark to them.
Raridan was waiting for Fenton and
Saxton and when they appeared to-
gether, he went across the room to
meet them.

IF you put one short end of long
heavy see-saw boarut over a fence you
can hardly lift the other end. If
you shove it along until one-half Of

you can raise or lower the board at
will. This is matter Of balance.
Now, If that board were on the ground
you could not, perhaps, raise either
end of it. The fence across which
the board lies makes the lifting easy
by imparting what Is known as lever
