A DEBT OF HONOR

ooh, so you're prudish are you?" She tossed
her head defiantly. >"You don't have to come if
you don't want to. Drive on, James. No. wait a
minute" In a second her whole demeanor had
changed "By the way, Bobby, that little affair
of the five thousand is cancelled. | can't have
you in debt to me-"
Carruthers drew himself up stiffly. "You forget
that it is a debt of honor. Besides, can't allow
myself to be under obligations to woman
''Now, Bobby, don't be foolish" she began.
'I'vc got to meet man down the street now, y
interrupted Carruthers. 'Ill send the money up
this afternoon. Goodbye" And he lifted his
hat and walked away.
The lady pouted little and moved as if to call
him back, but finally gave an order to her coach
man and drove on.
When Carruthers returned to the offices of
Snyder & Co. the slump was on in earnest. *.
T. was falling, and falling rapidly. Depression
was general and everybody was in fever to get
rid of the stock as possible.
In spite of the fact that his deal thus promised
to be successful, Carruthers got more and more
moody as the day progressed He sat for while
in Snyder's private office absorbed in gloomy med
itation Then he got up and wandered restlessly
out to look at the quotations again. and then he
was back in the Office chewing nervously at the
end of his cigar Snyder laughed at him, think
ing to ridicule him into better humor, but all
to no purpose. He got nothing but grunts in re-
ply to his remarks, and after while he gave
it up and let him alone
just before three o'clock Snyder bought Car
ruthers stock in and brought him fat roll of
bills.
cts twenty thousand" said the junior partner
triumphantly.
"Al right. Thanks. Ring for messenger boy,
will you--Jimmie, if you can get him" So saying,
he sat down at his friends desk and began to
write rapidly.
Snyder looked up little hurt, but neverthe-
less, did as he was asked. Jimmie arrived and
was entrusted with package, of which he was
cautioned to be very careful, When he had gone,
Carruthers got up and prepared to take his own
departure.
dold man." he said, "I guess III say goodbye
now"
The seriousness of his tone caught snyder's at
tention.
"Good bye" he repeated. "What do yo,
mean? What's up now"
Nothing much, except that I'm off for Arizon,
this afternoon and don't expect to be back"

and instead of that | obliged to listen to

you in the least. Hang it all, Snyder"
You must remember that I'm friend of yours,

Carruthers appeared to cool down little, and
after minute or two was able to continue the
conversation quietly.
Snyder, I've got myself in precious mess,
and | came in here to get some advice about get
ting out of it,"
What's the trouble, old man."
We'll you know I've been playing cards good
deal lately, and the last month or so luck's been
dead against me-"
How much do you owe?"
Five thousand dollars" replied Carruthers,
with a gesture of despair
Five thousand dollars! Five thousand for
cards? Oh, that's impossible."
Fact"
why, to whom do you owe all that?"
We'll keep the name out of the transaction,
if you please" said Carruthers sullenly.
Snyder looked searchngly, suspiciously, at his
friend, but Carruthers was staring moodly at the
opposite wall.

moment, but | haven't got that much at pres

Don't want to borrow it, was the ungracious
rejoinder.
"But think | can put you in the way of get

How much money have you got?"
Five hundred dollars"
Five hundred" repeated the other reflective
". After moments consideration he said, "You
let me have it, and think that the chances are
that you'll make twenty thousand by three o'clock
today"
Impossible" sncered Carruthers, half getting
up.
Now, wait Just one moment" said Snyder
soothingly. There's going to be big slump in

he said.

''Well let me have it, and I'll go right out and
make arrangements for getting your order in as
soon the market opens"
Carruthers took out his wallet, counted out
some bills and handed them to the junior part
ner. Snyder not gone long, but when he re-
turned the hubbub of tickers, excited voices, tee
graph saunders and telephone bells was in full
swing in the Offices of Snyder Co. The junior
partner closed the door, but the partition was
thin and totally unable to deaden the babel with

Carruthers' only reply was a grunt.
Doesn't it make you any more cherefu to
know that you are about to get out of your
mess"
Much good it will do me-" growled the other,
Probably get in another one before long"
Bob said Snyder suddenly, "do you know
what I'd do with the fifteen thousand you'll have

Carruthers followed his friend outside, and
stood for while watching the boy write the
quotations on the board, which soon began to in,
dicate a fall in X I. His sour, forbidding aspect
safeguarded him against any intrusions upon his
privacy; few attempts at desultory conversation
with him failed because he replied only by grunts
or an unbroken silence. After little while he
strolled out into the street. He had not gone far
when he saw a stylish brougham drawn by a
handsome pair OF horses coming down the street
towards him, It's occupant, pretty, fashionably
dressed young woman, recognized him at once
and gave orders to her coachman to stop.
"Helo, Bobby" she called. "You look pretty
seedy this morning. Was last night too much
