Washington and rumor had the cab
met members, senators, and congress-

rates to $50 per cent and a crash
seemed inevitable, Bob suddenly
smashed the loan market by Offering
to lend one hundred millions at four
per cent; and by buying and bidding
up prices at the same time, he put
the whole Washington crowd and it's

rout and caused them to lose millions.

Strange stories of Bob's doings be-
gan to seep into my Office. For long
periods he would disappear. Neither
the nurses in charge of his wife, nor
his brother, mother, and sisters, for
whom he had purchased mansion a
few blocks above his own, would hear
a word from him. Then he would
return as suddenly as he had disap-
peared, and his wild eyes and hag-
gard face would tell of prolonged
and desperate soul struggle. He
drank often now, habit he had never
before INDUCED in.
For ten days before the second an
niversary of his marriage he had been
missing. On the morning ofNthe ami
versary he appeared at the Exchange,
wild-eyed and daredevil reckless. The
market had been advancing for weeks
and was at high level. Tom Rein

my opportunity to do something for
you who have done so much for me,
so here goes" He threw himself into
the Union Pacific crowd first giving
an order to group of his brokers,
who jumped for a number of other
poles. Almost instantly the panic
was stayed and stocks were bounding
upward two to five points at a leap.
Bob continued buying Union Pacific
and his brokers other stocks in un-
limited quantities. Nothing like such
a quick turn of the market had been
seen before. His power to absorb
stocks seemed to be boundless. It
was estimated that personally and
through his brokers he bought over
million shares before he joined me
and left the Exchange.

What is it good for to me? To-day

one-man killing in the history of the

five millions richer in gold than was
this morning, and I had enough then
to dam the East river and a good

CHAPTER VIII.

A number of times during the fol-
lowing year, and finally on the ami
versary of the Sands tragedy, Bob
carried the Exchange to the verge of
panic, only to turn the market and
save the Street, in the end. His
profits were fabulous. Already his
fortune was estimated to between two
and three hundred millions, one of
the largest in the world. His name
had become one of terror wherever
stocks were dealt In. Wall street had
come to regard his every deal, from
the moment that he began operations,
as inevitably successful. Now and
again he would jump into the market
when. some of the plunging cliques
had a bear raid under way, and would
put them to rout by buying every
thing in sight and bidding I'd prices

His friends never met his wife. Oc-

the beautiful woman was Mrs. Brown

IL seemed quite natural that his wife
should choose seclusion after the aw-
tul tragedy at her home in Virginia.
But they could not understand why,
with such cause for mourning, the
exquisite figure beside Bob in the
victoria should always be garbed in
gray. After while it was whispered
that there was something wrong in

He yelled for his brokers, and several
brushed to him from different parts of
the room. He sent them back into
the crowd while he dashed for the

saved. ~
Presently he came back to me.
"Jim, I must have a talk with you.
Come over to- my Office" When we
got there he turned the key and stood
in front of me. His great eyes looked
full into mine. In college days, gaz-
ing into their brown depths, by some
magic seemed to see the heroes and
heroines of always happy-ending tales,
as the child sees enchanted creatures

eyes that day.

Shortly after the first anniversary
of his wedding Bob gave up his office
with Randolph & Randolph and open
ed one for himself He explained that
he was giving up his commission busi-
ness to devote all his time to personal
trading. With the opening of his new
Office he again became the most active
man on the floor. His trading was
intermittent. For weeks he would not
be seen at the Exchange or on "the
Street, Then he would return and,
after executing series of brilliant
trades, which were invariably success
full, he would again disappear. He
soon became known as the luckiest
operator in Wall street, and the begin.
ming of his every new deal was the
signal for his fast-growing following
to tag on.
