Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-02

body who has got any of 1t ever wants to part with 1t. But it has always been our policy to interest the people In the bank by letting them hold some of its stock. So good deal of 1t is held in | small lots around town, and now and then one of these is put Into my hands for sale. I have four shares now to sell. It belongs to tug captain who is down on his luck just now and must | sell He wants more than the market price, but the bank has lent him money on it nearly up to its face value, and so can do pretty much as I please with 1t. Ordinarily should buy it myself, but I'm in so many things just now, and, besides, I'd like to have you with us."
 Tandy did not say that since he had seen Temple in the afternoon he had taken in these four shares of stock for debt at 3 per cent below par, with the fixed purpose of selling them to Tenn pie at per cent above par.
 How many shares did you say there HTc OL IL dskeu 1eHplt. ..-
 -Four, if remember right. really oughtn't to let it slip through my f1n- gers, but-well, I'll tell you what I'll do. If you care to subscribe for few shares of the barrel company-say one or two thousand dollars worth-Tll let you have the bank stock at 103.
 Temple was eager to close the bar gain, but he resolutely repressed his eagerness. He asked score of ques. tions, as If in doubt, and at last he hesitatingly agreed to make the pur- chase. The details were to be ar ranged on the next day, and so Handy took his leave, and Temple lay awake all night, as he had done on the night before. ..- ,..
 At 4 o'clock the next afternoon Tenn pie strolled into the Hallam office to report results. He threw the papers upon a desk and sank into chair like one exhausted. He was, in fact, al- most in state of collapse.
 When he entered the Hallam offices and laid the papers before the head of the house he said only:
 i've secured the stock" When he sank into the chair Hallam was quick to see his condition.
 GO up to Duncan's rooms and go to bed" he urged. You've not been sleeping"
 Recovering himself quickly, Temple answered.:
 No, think I'd rather not. If you've no further use for me. think I'll go home by the train that starts an hour hence. There'll be time enough be- tween now and then for me to render you an account of money spent and give you my check for the balance in Tandy's bank don't want to see Duncan just now" .-.
 Hallam understood Very wei" he answered as Temple turned to a desk. You've saved Duncan, and there's nothing more for you to do here. But you must come back for the final grand tableau just a week hence. I'll leave this stock in your name till then, and you shall walk with me into the stock holders meeting and help me salivate old Napper Tandy. Wen teach him not to play tricks"
 Captain Hallam spoke no word of commendatlon for the way in which Temple had done his work. Words were unnecessary.
 "I hope I made no mistake in sub scribing for that barrel company stock" said Temple as he passed the completed papers over to Hallam. At any rate, I'd like to keep that my self, if I may. whether it ever proves to be worth anything or not. I've ac- cumulated enough money to pay for it."
 "Oh, as to that" answered Hallam lightly. "the stock will be good enough. I'll make it so by taking majority in- terest in the company and consolidat- ing it with my own. You see, we simply must do something for old Nap per Tandy."
