"Wheat's gone a-whizzin'," he said.

vice, Mr.. Hillyer, an git out while you
kin. I've got Georges interest at heart
the same as you have, an it's better
Ter young men to go slow an be on the
safe side"
Hillyer smiled broadly and rubbed
his hands together with an air Of in
tense satisfaction. You were jest as
badly ratified when it hadn't reached a
dollar" he said. ''Now, you let George
alone. Eff I'm willin' to resk his judgt

investment, why can't your"
Kenner shrugged his shoulders and
made no reply. George was coming in
at the door. Hello, young Could"
the cotton buyer cried out iovially
"Are you weak at the knees?"
"Oh, you mean wheat" said Buckley
indifferently as he went to his desk.
"That's Mr. Hillyer's affair."
mo, it hain't, my boy, not by jug
full" said Hillyer, almost tenderly
"Yore judgments held good so far;
what do you think we ought to dor
"Why, If l wanted to realize" re-
piled the young man, I'D telegraph for
the best offers right away. You can't
rely on those printed reports like Ken
ner has. My opinion is that it has
gone higher since that circular was
sent OUT
"Higher" exclaimed Kenner with a
cold smile of derision my boy, yoii

lator that ever grabbed the whip am
jumped in the arena. You never let

Hillyer's next remark surprised Ken
ner.
THAT'S Jest what l have done. my
boy. don't say intend to SELL but
wired Jacobs & Co. fer Their best offer
on my way down."
Just then a messenger boy came In
with telegram. Hillyer opened 1t
with shaky fingers, but when he read
It he laid it ON his desk quite calmly. a
CLEAN of triumph in his eye.
Jacob offers $1.121a," he said i'm
pressively as he looked at the cotton
buyer.
Kenner stared and then spat against
the wall behind the stove
somebody's crazy" he grunted.
"Wheat can't stand at that"
Hillyer was gazing at George with
hearty smile on his face.

Mr.. Hillyerw Bob cried out as the
merchant was leaving the office, but
the old man did not look round.
Let him alone!' said George Buck
ley to his friend. IF you had lived

her niece on the street corner. II won
