mans ears. All at once TrueSdell
rushed into view. almost overturning
1is distinguished visitor, and without
even an apology shouted in voice
that seemed peculiarly disagreeable;
Here. Goodalel Get move on and
sell all you ean-10o00.000 bushels to-
day. Keep cool head, man.
Having given his commands, Trues-
dell turned to his visitor. "Youll have
to excuse me-" he said. Il expected
quiet day, but the bulls are on the
warpath, and Pm having the fight Of
my life. Goodale will be back present
Iy, and he'll tell you all about it. Come
in tomorrow and III blow you to that
luncheon-if have money enough left
to pay for It."
The excited operator was away be-
fore the startled young man could put
In word. He couldn't understand
why so rich man as TiuesdelI was
supposed to be should agitate himself
over his business. What was amiss?
The idea was 80 irritating that he
found a trifing consolation in the
fact that his wooing had gone no fur
ther.
just then Goodale retdfned. and Van
Ingen felt 1t due to himself to learn
something Of the condition Of affairs.
His ideas of business were exceeding
ly vague. but he nerved himself for
The undertaking.
''Mr. Truesdel seems to be unusu.
ally excited today" he began. 81
SAINT help thinking something must be
up"
Something is up" Goodale admitted
quietly. Wheat Is down"
"Oh, see" said his rival, with a
dazed look which beIied his assump-
tion Of intelligence. "Mr. Truesdell
has been dealing very heavily lately,
believe"
Very heavily indeed" Goodale
agreed promptly.
MANY People win be very hard hit"
'Very hard indeed
Van lngen concluded that he had
solved the problem. He thanked his
informant, rose languidly and proceed
ed to his club. inwardly grateful that
be had escaped a terrible possibility.
While he was eating his luncheon a
man whom he knew emerged from
behind his paper and came over to his
table.
"Beastiy panic in the wheat mar
ket," he observed rather dolefully'

have just dropped cool $4,000 In the
pit If your man TruesdeH has been
equally out or luck he must be looking
forward to a rather gloomy Christ
mas. It means millions to him."
An hour later Van Ingen went into
the writing room and penned a note to
Mr.. Truesdell to the effect that some
unexpected and important business
would compel him to fOrego the pleas
ure OF further discussion Of the con-
templated alliance.
On Christmas eve Goodale ana Van
Ingen met face to face on the street.
The latter would have passed without
sign Of recognition, but GoodaIe
grasped his hand and greeted him cor
daily.
II am afraid you people must have

Van Ingen stammered.
