Gruffly repulsing the news
gatherers, Gilbert rushed to the
cab stand, but she was nowhere to
be seen. He accosted a cabby
and demanded to be driven i'm
mediately to the Majestic Build
ing. The driver, who had been
eagerly soliciting other arriving
passengers. looked him over
superciliously, noted his greasy,
blackened garb, and remarked
that the fare was half a dollar
REFRESHING his rising anger, the
young man handed him a dollar,
told him to make double time
and keep the change, and leaped
into the waiting vehicle.
Lemuel w. Griggs, attorney
at-law, was in. Well, my good
man, what can ! do for your"
he asked Gilbert.
Gilbert handed his card to the
lawyer, with a quizzical smile, and
drawing from an inside pocket
the option and a neatly banded
stack of bank-notes. laid them
on the desk.
AS he scrutinized the card,
Attorney Griggs's jaw fell about
an inch. Plainly, he was some
what flustered. Take a chair,
Mr.. Gilbert" he said. Il cannot
truthfully say l am overjoyed to
see you; but l might have expec-
ted it. Do you fellows in New
York always leave little matters
like this till the last horn blows? :"
Hardly" retorted Gilbert,
with grin; !" but the unforeseen

floor, it is finished. IN
der the circumstances,
what man could carry
through such a deal as
this, except at the
sacrifice of every atom
of his self respect? The
property isn't worth
the price"
Griggs whistled soft
ly as he surveyed the
f1uttering fragments.
The business instinct
within him revolted at
a proceeding which he
regarded as a crown
ing act of folly, despite
the extent to which it
benefited his client.
Young man, he
observed, g if you are
going to handle all your
opportunities like that,
l see your finish. ,,
But he didn't see it;
for it was Thomas Lee
roy Gilbert, specula-
tor in oil and mineral
lands, and not Lem
uel w. Griggs, attor-
ney-at-law, who ulti-
mately conducted the
negotiations which led
to the transfer of the
Pierce estate to the 7.
NJ. Guffey Petroleum
Company for a con-
sideration of five hum
dred thousand dollars.

sometimes upsets our most prudent calcula-
tons have made 1t this time by the skin of my
teeth.
Evidently So YOU have decided that you want
our piece of ground in Texas?
Gilbert pointed to the notes Money talks, he
replied " I've heard from the field
Il thought much. Your coming is a great
disappointment to mel had every hope that YOU
were going to let the option lapse; for too have
had very interesting reports from Dallas. I'm
afraid I've made ruinousy bad bargain for the
owner but there's way out of it now. III just
draw up an acknowledgment of the payment and
if you wait here little while believe can get
the necessary signature to transfer the title to
you at once. / am expecting my client at any
minute.
The lawyer was still busy with his documents
when the Office boy summoned him to the outer
room. Excusing himself he retired; and over the
low partition separating the two offices his voice
could occasionally be heard in one-sided CONVEX
sation with some one whose replies inaudible
Presently the door opened and Gilbert seated with
his back toward it. thought he heard the rustic of
skirts He turned and sprang to his feet. Griggs
had reentered, but in the background was a more
familiar figure
Mr.. Gilbert, said the lawyer Il want to present
you to my client Miss Lorraine. This Miss Lor
raine is the fortunate young who"
He halted abruptly, looking from one to the other
IN perpleXity For Alma, with extended hand
smilingly awaited Gilbert's advance; but he stood
motionless, unable for the moment to think, or
speak, or act. A great lump rose in his throat; he
went alternately red and white, poised there like
a great awkward school-boy, tightly clutching the
back of his chair staring blindy utterly bereft of
his wits,
Miss Lorraine" he gasped, at last, striding
forward and taking possession of her offered hand
with fervor that babe fair speedily to make up
for lost time
Well said Griggs, as the girl, visibly embar-
raised, gently disengaged herself from his eager
clasp " you two seem to be old friends"
So you the owner of the Pierce estatel"
exclaimed Gilbert, ignoring the attorney. You?
Do you know that oil has been struck close by
that it is rated at almost twenty times the price
l have agreed to paw"
Mr.. Griggs telegraphed yesterday that it
had become very valuable"
And you brought me here in time to take it
from you almost for nothingl You brought me
here to rob youl Without your aid that option
wouldn't have been worth the paper it was written
Why didn't you allow me to lose the game when
acquainted with the terms of the agreement-you
knew was wild to get here-surely you must have
known why?"
"No, 1 didn't know, though I more than half
suspected. But would you have had me put
money above the claim of that poor fireman
whose life wasting away for lack of proper
carer"
Just let me have that option moment please,
replied Gilbert.
The lawyer handed it to him.
He folded the paper twice and deliberately tore
it across and across and until it reduced
to the minutest shreds.
There' he said, strewng the scraps over the
floor it is finished. IN
der the circumstances,

the services OF so inexperienced
a fireman, ] shall be proud to
do the shoveling," he replied.
It's not the cleanest kind of
work, she smilingly warned
him, with a glance at his immac-
ulate garb. She had noticed
how painstakingly he kept him
self free from the stains of
travel, and his extreme solicit
tude for his appearance half
amused her. But he retorted
that where she dared to lead he
had no hesitation to follow; and
together they made their way
toward the locomotive, amid the
plaudits of admiring fellow-pas-
Sengers.
Alma climbed up into the cab
with an agility surprising to her
muscular companion, and di-
rected Gilbert to lay aside his
cuffs and coat and brace him
self for a couple of hours of
back-breaking labor. Then,
with a few words of instruction
about the quantity and proper
distribution of the coal to be
used, the operation of the
blower, and the general manage
ment of the draft, she called
in the rear brakeman with four
long blasts of the whistle. The
passengers, some crowded about
the engine and others strolling
beside the tracks, scampered for
their cars, and the conductor
signaled, Go ahead"
