tragedy. On the intervening anniver-
sary 1 had been compelled by self
interest and fear that he would really
pull down the entire Wall street
structure, to rush in and fairly drag
him off. But with his growing madE
ness my influence was waning. Each
raid it was with greater difficulty that
got his ear.
Finally, on the fourth anniversary,
in a panic that seemed to be running
into something more terrible than any
previous, he savagely refused to ac-
cede to my appeal, telling me that he
would not stop, even If Randolph &
Randolph were doomed to go down In
the crash. 1t had become known on
the floor that I was the only one who
could do anything with him in his
frenzies, and my pleading with him In
the lobby was watched by the MEM
bers Of the Exchange with triple eyed
suspense. When 1t was clear from his
emphatic gestures and raised voice
for he was in reckless mood from
drink and madness and took no pains
to disguise his intentions-that
could not prevail upon him, there was
frantic rush for the poles to throw
over stocks in advance of him. Sud-

ear, goodbye. In ten minutes you

had plunged knife into him, struck
his forehead a resounding blow, and
into his wild brown eyes came a sick
ening look of fear.
"Stop, Jim, for Gods sake, don't
say that to me. My cup is full now.
Don't tell me am to have that crime

for all the money in the world, not
even for revenge. Wait here, jim"
He yelled for his brokers, and several
rushed to him from different parts Of
the room. He sent them back into
the crowd while he dashed for the
Amalgamated-pole. The day was
saved.

Thrice Told a1es
Had a Clear Conscience

During the famous Congress of Vienna,
each of the several monarchs present was
the guest of some nobleman. On one
festive occasion Baron Rothschild was
invited par exception. He modestly went
to take his place, not among the more
exalted guests. When they discovered
Rothschild, however, they all rose, one
after the other, and saluted him, except
the king of Prussia. Some one asked
the king why he did not salute the great
European banker. "Did I not?" he
replied. "Well, I suppose it was because
I was the only one who did not owe him
anything"
