come North cleaving the air in the in
| vention which was to change the world.
But think, my dear sir" protested
| Mr.. Craighead, "of the untold millions
in the Broom idea-aerial monopoly
Even II Theodore should be only -four
clubs and q spade, We still hold the
aces, my dear Mr.. Waddy. Do moi
grind your teeth thus, SO long as the
| American Nitrates and Air Products
Company remains as the Arehimedian
lever with which to pry up and dump
| the world. We are ahead, whatever
! happens 10 the aeronef end of the DEAL
well, the aeronef end" said Mr..
| Waddy, had better come to the centre
or I'll see what law there is for getting
money by false pretenses."
And Craighead sent another frenzied
query as to whether the tardy Theo-
dore really had n aeronef; Carson,
meanwhile. being oblivious of it all
in his effort to be a well-behaved
uncle TO Virginia down among the
pines.
The two men were the best of travel
ing companions. Mr.. Waddy insisted
on going in the smoker; Mr.. Craig
head took the state-room while his
money lasted; and then borrowed of
Mr.. Waddy.. In New York Mr.. Waddy
stayed at the Mills, and would not let
Craighead go to the Vathek. because
they ought to be where they could on
suit. This necessitated Mr.. Craig
heads sneaking TO the nearest subway
station every morning and going up
town to make the start for the day.
Here he would enter the Vathek's lob
by. solemnly fee a boy, buy a cigar,
and rejoin Waddy in the street. This,
he explained, was to get the proper
psychological aura for financial opera
tons; to complete which he took an
electric hanson to Wall Street, and
awaited in the anteroom OF a friends
office the appearance of Mr.. Waddy,
who came by car, sc~rutinizing the
buildings like a prospective buyer. Yet
they got along swimmingly.
MI. C~raighead had advertised for
people able to organize a rapid business
campaign covering the civilized world
to meet him in West Twenty-third
Street at the studio of an acquaintance,
TO whom he had neglected to inn
part any knowledge of the tryst with
the specialists. Waddy and Craighead
arrived somewhat late, on account OF
the time consumed in adjusting MIR.
C~raighead's aura, and, found a crush
of people entirely alien to the fine arts,
filling the studio and the hall outside.
Craighead's sculptor friend. with a
lady model, escaped the angry moi
into the scaffolding of ain equestrian
group representing an Indian maiden
in a stampede of ~buffaloes. The model
had beer posing for something-an In
dian maiden. perhaps-and had feath-
ers in her hair. The sculptor was dis
putting a~crimoniously with a Roman
nosed captain of industry, who wore
sa ndals and no waistcoat. as to
whether he would or would NOS contri-
butte a nickel with which to free the
telephone for the purpose of calling the
police that he might be "pinched" for
putting in them ads"
Craighead broke through by imper-
sonating an officer. shouting, MAKE
way for the policei" and upper-cutting
the crowd with his elbows.
Hello, De Land!' said he, uodding
TO the sculptor. Most beauteous
princess of the Apaches, how?''
.'That you, Craig?" called down the
sculptor. What, not sober? Go after
the police. Turn these people out,
please, Craigi"
Friends Of NINE said craighead
II advertised for EN-. Hope you
haven't been incommoded, old mani
mot at aii!'' replied the sculptor
sarcastically. But get them out. SC
