Swindler Rolled the PoI,c.

singular adventure with A swind1ar mas been reported by the Swiss noIice At belllnzona. A traveller of distin- euished appearance made open show or having about his baggage foretgn ponds In such quantities that the hofeI proprietor warned the police. who in Vlted the stranger to account for him self. He then declared himself as Lieutenant Colonel Hannewsky. of inc Russian general staff, and produced a six months leave signed by General Sakharof. dated Moukden, which he said he left in February 1905. His ex- planatton of his presence there was that he had left France where he had been employed as chief of the espionage staff, owning to dispute as to charges for information obtained. Tn his grip were genuine bonds. chiefly French and American. to the value of s350 900 The police so far believed in him as to give him $50 for expenses to Milan to consult the Russian consul. He has however. never been seen at Milan. and the news has since reached Bellinzona that the pretended colonel has a con viction recorded against him at Lyons for swtndling. However, the bonds are still held.

COPPERING CAVERLY.
Nv pen.op Graydon.

(Copyrisht, 1907, by P. C.. Eastment)
 q don't care what it costs" declared Caverly. This mans father nearly ruined me once with his speculatlons Now comes his son who not only fol- lows his fathers footsteps in the street, but he clandestinely wins my daugh- ters heart"
 Those Newtons always were greedy" agreed Tait. flaming the flames of the others anger. T don't suppose you want to figure in this mat ter?"
 Caverly shook his head Not yet" he explained. "Time enough to tell him when he is ruined"
 Trust to me- said Tait confidently. We will jolt the young man consid- er2bly.'
 caverly went out chuckling. The night before Emory Newton had had the audacity to demand Belle Caverlys hand in marriage, He made light of the old enmity that had existed be- tween his father and Caverly and sug- gested that Kentucky feuds or Corsi- can vendettas were out of fashion in New York. Caverly had ordered him from the house and now he was scheming with Tait to ruin the boy.
 For a week or two Newton did not suspect that his brokers were betray- ing him to Tait. Runs of hard luck were common enough on W all StTeSt and he simply seemed to have struck an unusually bad one, that was all. It was Belle who gave him the hint when they met.
 Are you having bad luck with your stocks?" she asked as they sat in the Hargrave conservatory.
 Who told you? he smiled. Since when did you busy your pretty head with stocks and things?"
 "T heard fathar follxipc ovar al ephone," she explained. T don't know just what he meant but it seemed as though he had hired some one to make your stocks go the way you didn't want them to-"
 T see.' he said with a laugh q thought it merely a run of luck I shall have to get even"
 T th4nk it's mean of dad" she went on He won't let me marry you and he wants you to lose your money"
 Don't worry" he replied. q think I can teach him a lesson. There's the music"
 They went back to the ball room, and Belle forgot the incident If 1t bothered Newton so little it could not be very serious. But 1t did bother Newton more than a little. It ex- plained to him how 1t was that when he bought for a rise his stocks fell When he sold short" in the expecta- tion of prices being lowered they took an upward move. If it was Caverly behind the scheme, it meant a finish fight unless he wanted to quit the street.
 Newton did not need to speculate His income was ample. but he liked

you," said Newton. As you are to be my father-in-law some day, I hate te see you lose control of the P. & N. [ bought a put for 1000 shares at s7 Is. In trying to stick me you sold to my agent shares that you were forced 10 deliver. If you want to purchase them back. they are in the market"
 Your agent" echoed Caverly. "sie- grist your agentY"
 My agents broker" he explained. T knew that my man was selling me out to Tait. By coppering my opera tfon have won double what have lost. Siegrist is honest; besides he didn't know"
 Caverly sank back in his chair. He had been happy in the thought that he was running Newton. Instead New ton had been informed, and he had really been the gainer. Caverly was an old man, and suddenly he felt very worn and feeble.
 T think I'm getting out of the game" he said with a sigh. What is your price for this stock?"
 'Belle." answered Newton. "she's worth every share and script in the market"
 For a moment Caverly hesitated. It was hard to surrender, but in the end he knew that Newton would win in his love affair as he had won in the street. He was the son of Caverly's ancient enemy, but nothing mattered He touched a bell and the butler entered.
 Send for Miss Caverly," he ordered. and Newton knew that he had won.

the excitement and he had inherited his fathers stubborness. He would not be driven from the field. He took his losses p1acidly and smiled at every fresh blow
 If Caverly found his revenge ex- pensive, he at least found 1t worth while. Through Tait he obtained from Newton's broker an accurate account of the losses sustained and the sum was growing we'll into seven figures.
 But even Caverly almost baked when Newton went in for P. & N. This was Caverly's pet stock. For almost a year he had acquired blocks Of 1t here and there until it looked as though at the next election he might gain control
 Newton sold put at ten points rise To depress 1t some of Caverly's holding must be offered at lower price. It was a stiff fight. Most spec ulators held of, but there was some who eagerly bought at the low price. Seven thousand shares were sold be- fore Newton dropped the market. He had promised to buy 1t at sT 1-8. It had dropped to S1 IA. He stood to lose and Caverly chuckled.
 Cant even win on P. & N.," he jeered to Tait. T guess that ought to finish him."
 "siegrist and Platt want that P. & N. stock" said the head clerk inter rupting. we have none."
 "Of course not" agreed Tait. Didn't suppose thST wanted actual delivery.
 well, t..ey do," said the clerk. MT. Siegrist is here himself. and he re- fused a check for the profits. Wants to know if we keep a bucket shop" Send him in," said Tait in husky voice. It looked like trouble. After Newton had been trimmed the stock had been permitted to rise a few points. Tait had supposed that check to cover the increase would be sufficient If Siegrist insisted upon actual delivery of the stock and he could neither buy nor borrow, he would be expelled from the exchange for "bucketing" the stock. Before the broker entered he turned to Caverly.
 You will have to make good with your stock" he snarled. If you don't I'll tell just how it happened"
 Caverly knew that if he offered stock with no intention of letting 1t go he was in the same boat with his broker, and in the end he had to send over to his office for the necessary shares. There was a heated session between the two men after Siegrist left, but that did not bring back the stock The registry books closed the. following day. and Caverly had lost control by some 2,0G0 shares which he could not possibly replace in time for tfe meeting.
 That evening Belle was surprised to see Emery Newton passing through the hall into the library. Evidently he was expected, for Caverly looked up coldly.
 You asked for the interview" he snapped. What is 1t you wishY'
