The burglar answered that this was
an old story, that he was after money
and that he wanted her to tell him
where it was, iLtimating that while he
did no wish to do her harm, it would
be well for her to disclose where she
kept the family funds.

CHAPTER VIII.

A number of times during the fol.
flowing year. and finally on the ami
lyersary Of the Sands tragedy, Bob
lcarried the Exchange to the verge of
lpanic. only to turn the market and
lgsve "the Street in the end. His
lprofits were fabulous. Already his
lfortune was estimated to between two
land three hundred millions one Of
IRhe largest in the world. His name
had become one of terror wherever
Iatocks we're dealt in. Wall street had
come to regard his every deal, from
Iahe moment that he began operations,
as inevitably successful. Now and
again he would jump into the market
lwhen some of the plunging cliques
Aad bear raid under way, and would
hut them to rout by buying every
] thing in sight and bidding up prices
Until It looked as though he intended
10 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
met members, senators, and congress-
men selling the market short on adj
vance information, when the Stand.
ard Oil" banks had put up money
rates to $50 per cent and a crash
seemed inevitable, Bob suddenly
smashed the loan market by Offering
70 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
New York accomplices to disastrous
rout and caused them to lose millions.
He continued his operations with in
creasing violence and increasing prof
its up to the fourth anniversary of the
| tragedy. On the intervening anniver-
sary l 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
got his ear.
Finally, on the fourth anniversary,
in 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 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

"ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL"

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause disordered stomach does not per-
NIT the food to be properly dlgested, and
its products assimilated by the system,
On the other hand the blood is charged
with poisons which come from this dis
ordered digestion, and in turn the nerves
are not fed on good red blood, and we see
symptoms of nervousness, sleepleSsness
and general breakdown. 1t Is not head
work that does 1t, but poor stomach work.
With poor, thin blood the body is not
protected against the attack of germs of
grip, bronchitis and consumption. Fortify
the body at once with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery--a rare combination
of native medicinal roots without par
ticle of alcohol or dangerous drugs.
No man is stronger than his stomach.
Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Phys
zeal strength is derived from food. If
man has insufficient food he loses
strength. If he has no food he dies.
Food is converted into nutrition through
the stomach and bowels. 1t depends on
the strength of the stomach to what
extent feed eaten Is digested and 6ssinlil-
ated. People can die of starvation who
have abundant food to eat, when the
stomach and its associate organs of di-
gestiOn and nutrition do not perform
their duty. Thus the stomach is really
the vital organ of the body. If the
stomach Is 0weak the body will be weak
