November LIST had come and gone,
and the books showed no change in
Beulah Sands account. There was
the poor little $4,000 balance; no
other entries. One afternoon Beulah
Sands had asked for a meeting be-
tween Bob and myself in her office.
She could hardly have asked Bob to
come without me, but | knew 1t was
Bob she wanted to see, and | felt that
the best thing | could do for them was
to leave them alone. So | made some
excuse for a moments delay at my
desk telling Bob to so into her office,
and promising TO follow shortly. He
went in, leaving the door partly open.
/ think that from the moment he en-
tered the room both of them utterly
forgot my existence. From her desk
Beulah could not see me, and Bob sat
so that his back was half toward me.
81 dislike to trouble you about my &C
count" | heard her begin in a voice
trihe uneven, but as l must so back
to father Christmas week, | wanted to
get yolr advice as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of writing him that though there is
still a chance for doing wonders, | do
not think we shall be able to save him.
OF course ! won't put it in just that
blunt way, but it seems to me l should
begin to prepare him for the blow. l
have not talked over any more plung-
ing with you, Mr.. BROMLEY, since the
unlucky one in Sugar, and"
Miss Sands, | understand what you
mean," Bob broke in, and l should
apologize for not having consulted
with you about your business affairs.
The fact is, have not been quite clear
as to the best thing to do. hope you
don't think have forgotten. Never
for moment since l took charge of
your affairs have forgotten my prom
Use to see that they were kept active.
Truly l have been trying to think out
some successful plunge, but-but"-
there was a hoarseness in his voice
Il have not had my old confidence in
myself since that day in Sugar when
killed your hopes and destroyed the
chance of saving your father-no,
have not had that confidence a man
must have in himself to win at this
game"
: There was a silence, and then
heard an indescribable fiuttering rush
that told as plainly as sight could have
! done that a woman had answered hel
hearts caIl. Looking up involuntarily
saw a sight that for long moment
held my eyes as If had been fas
cinated. 1t was Bob bowed forward
with his face hidden in his hands ant
beside him, on her knees, Beulal
Sands, her arms about his neck, hi
head drawn down 10 her bosom. Bob
! Bob" she said chokinEfy. Il cannO
stand 1t any longer. My heart is break
ing for YOU. You were SO happy whel
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1907-07-25


Bob figured to leave her capital OF
100000 intact, we felt some comfort
BeuIah Sands had watched the figuring
with the keenness of an expert, and
when Bob announced the final figures,
which showed that she still had what
she started with, she drew the sheet
containing the totals to her. Il was
willing to accept your assistance" she
said, when the deal promised profit
to all of us, because l appreciated your
goodness and knew how much it would
hurt your feelings if we're churlish
about the division; but now that we
all lose l must stand my fair share; l
must" She said this in way that we
both knew precluded the possibility
of argument. I'VE owned together
10000 shares. l was to have had the
profits on 10000 shares. Our total loss
is $2,775, 900, of which I must bear my
just proportion. Mr.. BROMLEY, you
Will see that $4,000 is charged to my
account. shall have $4,000 left. If
our cause is as just as we think, God
In His goodness will make this ample
for our purposes"
Though Bob and / were in despair
at her determination to strip herself
of what Bob had worked so hard to
accumulate, we could not help feeling
/ q reverence for her faith and her
sturdy independence. She now showed
us in her delicate way that she wished
to be alone; as we went she held out
her hand to Bob. "Mr. BROMLEY,
! Y,Io ho 10 IF no unrk VI
have to do, look on the bright side of
| this calamity, for 1t has a bright side.
| You wanted me to send word to my
I father that we were about to grasp
! victory. Think if we had sent it-then
! you will know that God is good, even
when we think He is Christening us
beyond endurance"
Bob took me into his Office. "Jim,
you see what woman can do, and we
are taught women are the weaker sex.
Now listen to what you must do. Ac-
cept my notes for the whole loss, less
one hundred thousand which have to
| my credit. and which l will pay on &C
count. won't listen to any objection.
| The deal was mine; you came in only
to help us out, and l ought never to
have tempted you. If remain in my
present busted condition, the notes
will be blank paper. Therefore you
do me no harm in taking them. If I
should strike it rich, l should never
feel like a man until l made up the
loss"
1t was no use arguing with him in
his infeXible mood, so / took his de-
mand notes for $2,405,0 900. l begged
him to go home with me to dinner, but
he insisted that he could not face my
wife with his last nights break still
fresh in her mind. Next day he did
not turn up. Along in the afternoon
received a telegram from him, saying
that he was on his way to Virginia,
that he needed q rest and would be

CHAPTER ~.


The following week Bob returned to
the office. He had not changed, and
yet he had changed greatly. Rest had
apparently done much for him. His
color was good, his step elastic as of
old, and his head was thrown back as
if he were buckled up for the fray and
wanted all to know it. Yet there was
something in the eye, in the setness of
the Jaw. in the hair-trigger calm, yet
fiercely savage grip in which he closed
his strong hands on the arms of his
chair, that told me more plainly than
words that this was not the optimistic,
soft-hearted Bob BROMLEY | had
known and loved. | could not help
feeling that if I had been leader OF
the Russian terrorists, and this man
who now sat before me had come TO
my ken whensI was selecting bomb
throwers. ! should have seized upon
him of all men as the one to stalk the
czar or his marked minions. Surely
the iron that had entered Bob's soul
week before had affected his whole be-
ing. think Beulah Sands had some
such thoughts. For l saw Il shadow
of perplexity cross her broad, low fore
head after her first meeting with him,
shadow that had not been there
before.
For days after Bob's return / saw
little of him. I think Beulah Sands
saw less. During stock exchange hours
he spent most of his time on the floor,
but he executed few of our orders. He
merely looked them over and handed
them out to his assistants AS far as
l could learn, he spent much of his
time there yesterdaying through
hopes graveyards, a not uncommon
pastime for active exchange members
whose first through specials have been
open-switched by the System" tower
man. So strong had become this habit
of going about from pole to pole with
bent head and far-off gaze that his
fellow members began to humor and
respect It. They all knew that Bob
| had gone up against the Sugar panic
hard. No one knew how hard, but all
| guessed from his changed appearance
and habits that 1t must have been a
bone.smashing blow. Nothing so
quickly and so deeply stirs a stock ex-
change mans feelings for his brother
member as to know that They" have
ditched his FL Dorado fiyer-that is, II
he has been a good fellow. They viii
hpmor his every within and patiently
await the day when he shall be again

twice to draw Tim out, under preccnse
of insisting upon his accepting my
wife's invitation to dine with us. He
always had ready excuse for me to
take to Kate, but that was all. Appar-
emily he had no idea that l took any
interest in his movements after bust
ness hours.
AS for Beulah Sands, there was but
one change noticeable in her. When
ever footstep stopped in front of her
office she looked UP from her work
with an expectant, almost appealing
gaze, as though she were always walt
ing for some one. l had not seen Bob
in her Office since that disastrous
Sugar day, and as he went directly to
the exchange every morning and left
there every afternoon without return
ing to the office, doing all his business
by messenger or over the wire, there
was but little chance of his meeting
her. -.
