Certainly | do. old fellow said
Jim heartily. "I'll be as cautious as
dime-noyel sleuth.''
After repeated conferences every de-
tail OF the Wall street campaign was
agreed upon, ard James Blake set his
face towards the East.
He arrived in New York on Friday
evening. Early the following morning
he appeared in Wall street and pre-
seuted letters of introduction to the
banks and brokers who had been Sc
pending operations.
On Monday morning he opened ac-
counts with brokers and began selling
small blocks of the two railway stocks.
The market was strong. and all offer
ings were eagerly absorbed. In three
days he had sold one hundred thou
sand shares of each stock. and the
market was stationary. He wired the
fact to John Burt and received in
structions. The following day he be-
gan the cash sale of the stocks and Sc
curities. When half of them were
sold the market began to weaken.
On Thursday morning he received
4 cipher telegram which. when trans
lated, read as follows:
Sell remainder of securities at
market price, and then offer railroads
\ and B in five thousand lots.
81. 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
B; the organization of a competing
line. and the passage of resolution
for enormous bond issues.
When James Blake went to bed late
Saturday night it was after fifty hours
of work without sleep. He had prac-
tically concluded one of the most de-
cisive campaigns ever waged on the
street. Before turning out the lights
he again read telegram received
few hours before. and his handsome
face flushed with pleasure as he read:

superb handling of our campaign. Mr.

aloud. That's the highest of com

James Blake found himself the Wall
street hero of the hour. He was ac-
claimed the young financial giant from
the Pacific slope-a market Ivanhoe
who had driven his lance through the
armor of famed knights and warriors.
He 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 master-mind of the campaign,
Blake knew that he had played no
small part in its consummation. He
had invested every dollar. of his own.
He had carried his stock to the bot.
tom of the market and covered in time
to profit on the reaction. In week
of furious conflict he had not made
mistake.
