Egypt Very Much Married.

Egypt has some queer marriage sta
tistics 20 offer. The customs of that
country are decidedly at a variance with
ours in regard 10 marriage and divorce
over there marriage IS universal. it is
claimed by those who have investigated
tie matter, and it Is difficult FOR q
young man to win the confidence Of the
community wherein he dwells. or 10

until he becomes a party to a marriage
contract. The old maid is rarely seen.

any length Of time, as a rule. The nu-

try where the people simply do not live
In single blessedness, affords no end of
amusement to the traveller passing
through the land Of the Pyramids. There
are very few men 70 be found in Cairo
who have passed the age Of twenty
E.tbout having been married at least
twice, and IN most cases the women Of
sixteen summers have been even more
fortunate than their brothers In having
made half a dozen or more matrimonial
experiments. These startling statictics
are to a degree accounted for by the
fact that IN Egypt there is no disgrace
whatever attached to divorce. When ad-
miration for ones partner ceases. or
begins to get slack, the first thing to
enter the Egyptian mind is the necas-
sary steps to remedy the dissatisfac-
ton existing, and then another trial

for Rogers and Rockefeller. and the rumor is getting in its work. Even Barry Conant Is growing bit anx. ious. The latest talk is that Reinhart Is borrowing hundreds of millions on Anti-People's, and that his loans are being called in all directions. Do you know Reinhart is at his place in Vir- ginia and cannot get here before to- morrow night? If Bob breaks through Anti-People's peg. 1t will be the worst crash yet"
 "All right, Fred" answered. T will go over to Bob's right now. I hate to do 1t, but there is no other hope"
 dropped the receiver and started for Bob's office.

CHAPTER VII.

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 bear raid under way, and would put them to rout by buying every. thing in sight and bidding up prices
 until 1t looked as though he intended to do as extraordinary work on the upside as he was wont to do on the down. At such times he was the idol of the Exchange, which worships the man who puts prices up as it hates him who pulls them down. Once when war news flashed over the wires from Washington and rumor had the cab inet members. senators. and congress- men selling the market short on ad
 vance information. when the Stand ard oil' banks had put up money rates to 150 per cent and 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 its New York accomplices to disastrous 'rout and caused them to lose millions. He continued his operations with in crossing violence and increasing prof. its up to the fourth anniversary of the

different stocks involved in the deal, and 1t was common knowledge that upon its successful completion Rein. hart's fortune would be in the neigh borhood of billion. On October 1st the certificate of the Anti.People's Trust. $l2.00o. .0oo. 900 capital, 120.ooo.- 900 shares. were listed upon the New York. London, and Boston Stock Ex- changes, and the German and French Bourses. and trading in them started of fast and furious at 106. The claim that one billion of the twelve billions capital had been set aside to be used in protecting and manipulating the stock in the market, had been 50 wide ly advertised that even the most dar- ing plunger did not think of selling 1t short.
 It was evident to all in the stock gambling world that this was to be the Systems" grand coup. that at its completion the masses would be rudely awakened to realization that their savings were invested in the combined American industries at vast. ly inflated values. that the few had all the real money, and that any at tempt upon the peoples part to regu- late and control the new system of robbery, would be fraught with un- paralleled disaster-not to the "Sys- tem," but to the people.
 Since Bob's return from Europe I had seen him but a few times Up to October 1st he had not been near the Stock Exchange or "the Street" Shortly after the listing of the "Peo- pie Be Damned" as the Street" had dubbed the new trust, he began to show up at his office regularly. This was the condition of affairs when Fred Brownley called me up on the telephone, as I related at the begin. ming of my story which did not real. ize I had been so long in telling.
 My thoughts had been chasing each other with lightning-like rapidity back over the last five years and the 15 be- fore them, and each thought deepened the black mist over my present men, tai vision. In the midstsof my re, factions my. telephone rang again.
 "Mr. Randolph. for Heavens sake have you done nothing yet?" It was Fred Brownley's voice. Things are frightful here. Bob's brokers are sell ing stocks at five and ten thousand lot clips. Barry Conant is leading Reinhart's forces. It Is said he has the pools protection order in Anti. Peoples and that 1t is unlimited, but Bob has the Reinhart crowd pretty badly scared. Swan has just finished giving Conant hundred thousand off the reel in 10000 lots, and he told me moment ago he was going to get Bob himself to face Barry Conant. They're down 20 points on the aver. age. although they haven't let Anti. Peoples break an eighth yet. They have 1t begged at 106, but there is an ugly rumor just in that Bob, under cover of general attack. is unloading Anti-People's on to the Reinhart wing
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-24

Inwardly thanked God that Bob was in his office instead of on the floor of the Exchange. His whole appearance was frightful He showed in every line and lineament that he was a man who would hesitate at nothing. even at killing. if he should find a human obstacle in his road and his mind should suggest murder. He was the personihcation of the most awful mad ness. Even when he caught sight of me. he hardly moved. although my coming must have been a surprise.
 50 it is you. Jim Randolph. Is it? What brings you here7" His voice was hoarse, but 1t had a metallic ring that went to my marrow. Bob Brown ley in all the years of our friendship had never spoken to ne except in kind and loving regard looked at him, stunned. | must have shown how hurt I was. But if he saw it, he gave no sign. His eyes. looking straight into mine, changed 10 more than if be had been addressing his deadliest enemy.
 Again his voice rang out. What brings you heref Do you come to plead again for that dastard Reinhart after the warning I gave you!-

Re venge her and her father, revenge yourself It is impossible to give 1t up. Jim. I must have revenge.

Jim. don't think do not know that I have literally turned into a hend. Whenever of late I see myself in the mirror, shudder. When I think of what was when your father stood us up In his office and started us in this heartshrivelling. soul-cal- lousing business. and what I am now, cannot keep the madness down ex- cept with rum. You know what 1t means for me to say this. me who started with all the pride of a Brown ley; but it is SO, Jim. The other night I vent home with my soul frozen with thoughts of the past and with my brain ablaze with rum, intending to end it all I got out my revolver. and woke Beulah. but as 1 said Bob Is going to kill Beulah and himself she laughed that sweet ehild's Iaugh and clapping her hands said.

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
 Presently he came back to me.
 "Jim, must have talk with you. Come over to my oflce." When we got there he turned the key and stood in front of me. His great eyes looked full into mine. In college days, gag ing into their brown depths, by some magic I seemed to see the heroes and heroines of always happy-ending tales, as the child sees enchanted creatures far back in the burning Yule log flames. But there were no joyous be- ings in the haunted depths of Bob's eyes that day.
 "Jim, you gave me an awful scare" he said brokenly Don't ever do 1t again. I have little left to live for. To be sure have some feeling for mother, Fred. and sisters. But for you I have love second only to that I should have felt for Beulah had been allowed to have her. The thought, Jim, that I had wrecked your life, with all you have to live for. would have been the last straw. My life is purgatory. Beulah is only an ever present curse to me-a ghost that rends my heart and soul. one minute with blind frenzy to revenge her wrongs, the next with an icy remorse that have not already done so. If I did not have her. perhaps in time I could forget; perhaps might lay out some scheme to help poor devils whose poverty makes life unendur- able, and with the millions I have taken from the main shaft of hell might do things that would at least

 black Melton cutaway coat, thrown back from the chest, and a low, turn-down white collar formed the setting for throat and head that re- minded one of forest monarch at bay on the mountain crag awaiting the coming of the hounds and hunters.

tragedy. On the intervening anniver- sary had been compelled by self. interest and fear that he would really pull down the entire Wall street struc- ture, to rush in and fairly drag him on. But with his growing madness my influence was waning. Each raid it was with greater difficulty that I got his ear.
 Finally. on the fourth anniversary, in q panic tha, seemed to be running into something more terrible than any previous. he savasely refused 10 ac- eede to my appeal. telling me that he would not stop. even if Randolph G Randolph were doomed to go down in the crash.
