about it till a little while ago, and I
don't understand all the detailsrye4; but
the idea is that my fathers made
Henry trustee OF everything. Henry's
the whole shooting-match at homo now,
you know. So I guess II wouldn't do to
try the old gentleman. No. I've got In
too deep, like a fool, and I've got to
get out by myself or else drown; one of
the two. But IL l can only get by this
time, you can bet I'll never be such an
ass again. You see, Jim" he added, rue
fully enough, 81 wanted to show peo-
pie
Turner laughed, though without
amusement. Yes, / know" he said
dryly, you wanted to come the young
Napoleon racket. There've been others.
You needn't kick yourself for being h
only one But there must be some one
that would help you out, Jack. Why
couldn't you go to your uncle himself? ?"
He made the suggestion casually
enough, yet with a shrewd eye on the
younger mans expression. Carleton
frowned. Well he answered doubt
fully, I'D hate to do that. You know
what Henry and / think of each other.
| suppose | could. though, II I was dead
up against 1T. But I'm not going to
worry yet" He glanced onc more at
the tape; then added. Things really
have %steadied, haven't they, Jim? 1
guess we're all safe for today"
Turner did not at once reply. b
events of the last three days had TO a
large extent discouraged him from haz-
arding further prophecies. Cant
tell" he answered guardedly, at length,
can't tell these days. but they've GER
tainly steadied quite a bit; that's sure;
perhaps they'll begin to pick up now"
AS he spoke, a clerk entered with a.
bundle Of papers in his hand. For

and Turner, taking them. departed into
his private office. One or two quick
luncher5, tie vanguard of the returning
stream Of regular patronss came in at
the outer door: the first, thin, pale and
dyspeptic looking. making hastily for
the ticker. with no attempt to conceal
his anxiety; the other, stout. red
faced, and philosophic, following more
calmly, his hat on the back OF his
head, making leisurely exploration with
a toothpick the while, evidently with d
certain not unpraise-worthy desire TO
show that even in the throes of a
panic a man could still be game. As
they approached, Carleton glanced first
at the tape then at his watch, then
at the patch Of blue sky. The tape said
that Akme Mining was seventeen and
q quarter. and that Suburban Electric
was slxty-four and a half; the watch
said that II was twelve-fifteen, ana
that the twelve-thirty train would get
him to the Country Club in time for
lunch; the patch of blue sky said
Come" With a rather guilty haste
he walked quickly toward the door,

1t was championship cup day at the
Country Club, and the locker room.
when Carleton entered it two hours
later. was crowded with excited men
in various stakes of dress and undress;
men who had entered the Club Ave
minutes before as respectable doc
tors, lawyers, bankers and business
men, and who, five minutes later, were
to emerge in a common indecorous garb
of faded annel shirt. dingy gray trous-
ers and shapeless felt hats. making
their way toward the first tee with an
eagerness which in fulfilling their pro-
fessional engagements they were sell

tered golfng clothes. He affected not
to see Henderson. thin and spare and
brown. seated on a bench with knees
drawn up undea~ mis- chin and clasped by
bare. sinewy arms.
Presently his rival rose and sauntered
over to him across the room. He stood
