CHAPTER xv.
A Brilliant campaIan.

James Blake yet longed for specula-
tive laurels. His one ambition was to
achieve some sweeping coup. and taste
tho inward JOY OF triumph-sweeter
far than the undescrved fame which
had nmasscd half a million OF dol
lars the temptation TO risk II was too
strong to be resisted. John Burt had
lust terminated campaign which had
netted him nearly n million In profit.
and John Hawkins had been equally
successful. Blake saw n chance and
took II. With nerve and skill he
forced stock to a point where Vic
tory seemed certain:' but an unfore-
seen event ruined his chances at the
moment when the spell Of illluck
seemed broken. The market turned.
but by series of moves. brilliant as
II inspired by success instead OF dis
aster. Blake saved himself from
complete rout. and emerged with one
half OF his capital
A few days later he held an inter
Wow with John Burt-an interview
destined to mark an epoch In his ca
recr.

II was proud moment for Blake.
There was no shadow of envy or jcal-
ousy In his thoughts as he looked Into
the face OF the companion Of his boy
hood. and heard him speak calmly of
millions and OF launching them against
the giants OF Wall street.
'1 can do 1t! I will do III" he ex-
claimed. II see your plan. and its

and"
"You need not attempt the latter
task" said John rather shortly. You
are likely to undertake too much. For
the present do not care to acquaint
Miss Garden, or any one In the Fest.
with my whereabouts. or even with
in this matter, Jim. OF course you
will go to bingham and visit your
kinsfolk. You can easily learn all I
care to know from the Bishops, or per-
haps from Sam Rounds. If not. go
to Boston; but get the facts without
calling on Miss Garden. You under.
stand, don't you. Jim?'
Certainly do. old fellow" said
Jim heartily. III be as cautious as a
dime.novel sleuth."
After repeated conferences every de-
tail of the Wall street campaign was
agreed upon, and James Blake sot his
face towards the East.
He arrived in New York on Friday
evening. Early the following morning
he appeared in Wall street and pre-
sented letters of introduction to the
banks and brokers who had been Sc.
,ected by John Burt as agents in the
pending operations.
On Monday morning he opened ac'
counts with brokers and began selling
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1904-08-05

small blocks Of the two railway stocks
The market was strong. and all offer
inss were eagerly absorbed. In three
days he had sold one hundred thou
sand shares of each stock. and the
market was Ltationary. He wired the
fact to John Burt and received In
structions. The following day he be'
gan the cash sale OF the stocks and SO
curities. When half OF them were
sold the market began to weaken.
On Thursday morning he received
a cipher telegram which. when trans
lated. read as follows:
"Sell remainder of securities nj
market price. and then offer railroads
A and II In fiye thousand lots.
-. B."
Beneath the weight OF these offer.
ings the market trembled and then
broke sharply. Late in the afternoon
came the news OF the resignation OF
powerful directors on railroads A and
Il: the organization Of competing
line. and the passage OF resolution
for enormous bond issues.
When James Blake went to bed late
Saturday night II was after fifty hours
of work without sleep. Hc hnd prac'
tIcaily concluded one of the most de-
cisive campaigns ever wnged on the
street. Before turning out the lights
he again read a telegram received a
few hours before. and his handsome
face flushed with pleasure ms he read:
Accept my congratulations on your
superb handling OF our campaign. Mr.
Hawkins Joins In salutntions and We
drink your health. J. D."
Our campaign" said Blake. half
aloud. That's the highest Of com.
pilmcnts. John must have won Tor
tunes. and I'm n millionaire at last.
Wonder II l can sleep. Here goes"
He dropped into slumber deep and
untroubled ms that Of n child.
James Blake found himself the Wall
street hero OF the hour. He was ac-
claimed the young financial giant from

who had driven his lance through the
armor OF famed knights and warriors.
Hc drank deep OF the glorious nectar
of victory. The day had dawned when
he could accept honors fairly won.
While admitting that John Burt was
the mastermind of the campaign.
Blake knew that he had played no
small part In its consummation. He
He had carried his stock to the bot.
tom of the market and covered in time
to profit on the reaction. In n week
of furious conflict he had not made a
mistake.
New York threw open her gates as
to victorious general. proud to be
looted in honor OF his fame. She be-
came the opulent and willing mistress
to his pleasures. She famed his
fevered brow and whispered soft words
OF praise into his ears.

throng in playhouse and opera: he

fame in the public prints-and he for
got John Burt.

KILLED At CENTRAL.
Fatal Accident In the Cook Shaft on
BobtaiI Hill.

patch last night says: Robert NJ.
Vaughn. a graduate Of the School Of
Mines, class OF 1904. who was captain
and pitcher Of the ball team represent.
ing the school this year. and Martin
Swanson. a well.known miner. were
killed in the Cook shaft on Bobtail hill
at 4:40 this afternoon as result Of .
mysterious accident.
Swanson was n machine man and
Vaughn was his helper. They were
coming of the day shift. The cause
OF the accident may never be dis.
closed as they were the only persons
in the cage. II is believed that in
some manner Swanson's left foot
caught between the side Of the cage
and shaft and that he was dragged
between the timbers. II is thought
that Vaughn either attempted to
catch him or was caught by Swanson.
Both were crushed between the cage
and side OF the shaft. their bodies
falling to the bottom OF the shaft, q
distance Of over 600 feet.
This theory is supported by the
fact that Swanson's left boot was
crushed in such u manner Us TO indi.
cate that It had caught between the
timbers and cage. and the hoel was
torn of the boot. Both bodies were
horribly mangled, the tops OF the
heads Of the two men being torn of

Russja's ARMY.

1t has been estimated that the to.

after calling out all the reserves
amounts to 5,250,O0O men, or more
than ten times that of Japan. The
soldiers are drawn from the ignorant
peasant class and the officers from
the governing ranks of society.
Should Russia call out all her troops
she will have 7S.S27 officers, $780,

cannon. Germany is the only nation
that exceeds Russia in its military

when the doors opened at O'Clock
Yesterday morning. There was a hum
of voices and general scramble tna1
was something new to the ordinarily
quiet Honolulu sales; all of Which
might go to show that Honolulu Wo-
men are not greatly different from
those in the East.
