of the next two months. If you do as I tell you, mind, no matter what you hear, and if you don't talk"
 Mrs. Wybert meditated.
 MT. Bines, I'm-it's natural that I'm little uneasy. Why should you want to see me do we'll, after our lit- tie affair? Now, out with 1t! What are you trying to do with me? What do you expect me to do for you? Get down to cases yourself, MT. Bines!"
 T will, ma'am, in few words. My granddaughter, you may have heard, is engaged to an Englishman. He's next thing to broke, but he's got title coming. Naturally he's looking fur money. Naturally he don't care fur the girl. But I'm afraid she's infat- uated with him. Now then, If he had a chance at some one with more money than she's got, why, naturally, he'd jump at it."
 Aren't you little bit wild?"
 Not a little bit. He saw you at Newport last summer, and he's seen you here. He was tearing the ad- jectives up telling me about you the other night, not knowing, you under stand, that I'd ever heard tell of you before. You could marry him in a jiffy if you follow my directions"
 But your granddaughter has for tune"
 You'll have as much if you play this the way tell you. And-you never can tell in these times-she might lose . good bit of hers"
 Its very peculiar, MT. Bines-your proposition"
 Look at what brilliant match it would be fur you. Why, you'd be Lady Casselthorpe, with dukes and counts takin' of their crowns to you. And that other one-that Milbrey- from all hear he's lighter'n cork cut his galluses and he'd float right up into the sky. He ain't got any, thing but his good family and a thirst"
 q see. This Mauburn isn't good enough for your family, but you reck- on he's good enough for me?. Is that it, now?"
 Come, Mrs. Wybert, let's be broad. That's the game you like, and don't criticise you fur 1t. It's a good game if that's the kind of game you're huntin' fur. And you can play it bet tern my granddaughter. She want meant fur it-and I'd rather have her marry an American, anyhow. Now you like 1t, and you got beauty-only you need more money. I'll put you in the way of 1t, and you can cut out my granddaughter"
 T must think about 1t. Suppose I plunge in copper. and your tip isn't straight. I've seen hard times, MT. Zines, in my life. I haven't always wore sealskin and diamonds"
 Mrs. Wybert, you was in Montana long enough to know how I stand there?"
 q know you're A 1, and your words as good as another mans money. I 'uOu ' QucSliOH yOuE 6OOu lutcutIouS.
 "It's my judgment, hey? Now, look here, won't tell you what know and how I know it, but you can take my word that know I do know. You plunge in copper right of, without saying . word to anybody or maxim any splurge, and here"
 From the little table at his elbow he picked up the card that had an nounced him and drew out his pencil.
 You said my word was as good as another mans money. Now I'm going to write on this card just what you have to do, and you're to follow direc- tions, no matter what you hear about other people doing. Therell be all sorts of reports about that stock, but you follow my directions"
 He wrote on the back of the card with his pencil.
 Consolidated Copper, remember and now I'm a-goin' to write some- thing else under them directions.
 Do this up to the limit of your capital and I will make good anything
