published the story that l am buying
for Randolph & Randolph, and they
for the insiders; that the new tariff
is as good as passed; and that at the
directors meeting tomorrow the Sugar
dividend will be increased, and that 1t

going until she crosses 200. I've been
obliged to take On only $4,000 Of your
$4,000, and at present prices there Is
over two hundred thousand profit in
them. / think I could go back there
and In 30 minutes have It to $50. Then
II rested on It until about one o'clock

cover of them, let slip about half our
purchases, and tomorrow open her
with whirl and let go the balance.

/ agreed that his campaign was per
feet, and Beulah Sands said in her
usual quiet way, 1T is entirely in your
hands, Mr.. Brownley. / don't see how
any advice from us can help"
Bob went back to the exchange and
/ into my Office. Bob had been right
again. In ten minutes the tape began
to scream Sugar. With enormous
transactions it ran up in Is minutes to
1873, in three more it dropped to 1871,
and then steadily mounted to 1851,
dulled up, and was healthy steady.
Presently Bob was back and we sat
down again.

Jim, on that bulge. I've $4,000 in all

me, Mr. Randolph, won't you, when l
say-God bless you and every one
whom you hold dear, God bless you?
What could l or my father have done
but for you and Mr. Brownley?"
She turned her big eyes full upon
Bob, filled with light such as can
come only to a woman's eyes, only to
a woman before whom, as she stands |
