ear, "good-bye. In ten minutes you
will get word that Jim Randolph has
cut his throat" He stopped as though
I had plunged knife into him, struck
his forehead 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
on my SOUL" He thought a moment.
Il don't know whether you mean it,
Jim, but I can take no chances, not
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 oface.' When we
got there he turned the key and stood
in front of me. His great eyes looked
full into mine. In college days, gaz-
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: :

CHAPTER Viii.

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 a bear raid under way, and would
put them to rout by buying every
thing In sight and bidding up prices
until it 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
met members, senator's, and congress-
Willmar tribune., 1907-11-06

1t is in coloring, rather than in con-
tour, that the changes which Fashion
has ordained for the coming season
are to be noted, and while the general
outline and scheme of our garments
are those with which we have become
pleasantly familiar during the past
few months, everything will be trans
formed in effect by striking and mani
ft'ld contrasts of color. No longer is it
to be our aim to show the one chosen
shade in practically every detail of
our costume from hat to shoes-on
the contrary, the more colors are clep-
erly combined on gown and headgear
the more cleverly will the up-to-date-
ness of the wearer and the skill of
the maker be proclaimed, and, in
deed, much skill is invariably demand
ed if the result is to be altogether sue
cessful, while discretion will occasion
ally be the better part of-fashion-
when choice has to be made.
Peacock blue is one of the colorings
which will be very much to the fore,
and it certainly looks wonderfully
we'll in the chiffon velvet (or vel
veteen) which is to be much IA
vored. fabric, while the deepest and
richest shades of purple, and plum and
wine red, promise to bring a welcome
brightness into dull days and months,
and there are also available for choice

Willmar tribune., 1907-11-06

The whole thing seems incredible to
me. Never was a human being in
such perpetual living purgatory-un-
limited, absolute power on the one
hand, unfathomable, never-cool-down
hell on the other.''
"Jim, how does he do what he does?
cannot make out anything have
read or you have told me, how he
creates those panics and makes all
that money = .~
mo one has ever been able to fig
ure it out" I answered. Il under
stand the stock business, but can
not for the life of me see how he does
it. He has none of the money pow
ers in league with him, that's sure,
for in the mood he has been in dur
ing the past two years it would be i'm
possible for him to work with them,
even If his salvation depended on it.
The mention of any of the big 'Sys-
tenn men drives him to a fury. He
has to-day made more money than
any one man ever made in day since
the world began, and he had only COM
menced his work when he quit to
please me- AS stand in the Exchange
and watch him do it, it seems COM
monplace and simple. Afterward it is
beyond my comprehension. At the
gait he is going, the Rockefeller, Van
derbilt, and Gould fortunes combined
will look tiny in comparison with the

WIDE TIRES.
The Proc and Cons Concerning rhoJv
Utility on Country Roads. {


This is question which has re'
ceived great deal Of attention and
about which there has been much dis.
CUSTOM: Whether or not wide tires
are the most satisfactory depends
upon number of things. For ex'
ample, on hard roads, wide tires do
not pull any heavier than narrow
tires, but on some country roads, and
especially where the dirt "rolls up"
1t is difficult to use a wide-tired
wagon. Many states have legislated
on this subject, but the question is
still unsettled. Let lis look for a mo-
ment at some of the problems.
One of the most convincing tests,
which has been referred to often, was
that made at the Missouri agricul-
tura1 college several years ago. A
load weighing 1865 pounds was used
in the test. The tires of the wheels
were ~ inches and three iches, re-
spectively. The draft of the, narrow
tires was 439 pounds, or 41.6 per cent.
more than the wide tires. Estimat-
Ing the wagons to weigh 1000 pounds,
thus on broad tires 3,248-pound load
would be drawn as easily as 1000
pounds on narrow tires. The broad
wheels do not injure the turf, while
the narrow wheels go through.
Under some circumstances, the mar
row tires evidently draw easier. This
is true on a dirt road which is muddy.
Then, too, as a rule, broad tires have
been used on low wheels. Generally
speaking, low wheels pull heavier
than high wheels, particularly where
the road IS rough. In a recent inquiry
sent out to users of low-wheeled, wide
tired wagons, the consensus of opin.
ion was that wide tires we're much
more satisfactory; first, because it
was easier to put on the roads; Sec
ond, because the reads were injured
less by these wide tires. Where mar
row tires tended to cut up the surface
of farm roads, wide tires tended to
pack the surface and make it hard.
A few years ago some very COM
plete tests were made at South Bend,
Ind. The conclusions were as fol-
lows: On hard roads, block pave
ments and other permanent and sub
stantial roads, there was no argu-
ment, so far as actual draft is con-
cerned, the effect being rather against
the wide tire and in favor of the mar
row tire. In the effect on hard roads,
wide tires have the advantage, and
this benefit should be appreciated by
turnpike and macadam companies.
In soft mud, slush and other similar
circumstances the advantage is
against the wide tire and in favor of
the narrow. On the other hand, on
sod and soft ground, where the wide
tire does not cut in and the narrow
one does, the advantage is on the
side of the wide tire.
A test was made at the Ohio state
university and the results were SINH
lar to those in Missouri. Two horses
could easily draw heavy load on a
grass sod where the tires used were
used
It will thus be seen, says Orange
Judd Farmer, that the matter of wide
tires is very important from the
standpoint of the man who is inter
ested in better highways. There are
however, two sides to the question
and every state must fully discuss and
Investigate before attempting rules
and regulations.
