Ol Flld1Gc, dS SGdHutLllE1I fnanciers insisted him to be-the one of which Barr himself was proud. es. was that he ever referred to laugh jDglv as the corner in matrimony
 The street called 1t the deal in suburban Trolley and ranked il among the lesser accomplishments of the daring western operator But Barr, who had a more intimate knowl- edge and juster appreciation of the de tails. clung to his corner in matri- manv." and placed it first.
 Perhaps the fact that he shared he glory-and the spoils-with two part Ders one of them the only woman, young or old, he ever enthused over. swayed his judgment.
 At the beginning of the winter sea son the stock exchange house of Wii- lis. Barr & Co. had opened a branch office at Palm Beach for the convent eDee of it's customers who were win tering at the Florida resort. John Mar shall. whose father had been one of Barr's stanehest friends i'll the old Chicago days, was transferred from the New York office, where he had been placed by Barr after the fathers death, in straitened circumstances, to the Palm Beach branch,
 John Marshall, who was always Young John to Barr in spite of his six feet of aggressive manhood, had viewed this estracism with conflicting emotions. While he recognized the opportunity presented, under Barr's keen eye. to prove his ability as man aeer of the office q stepping stone to higher place. there were personal rea- sons. which, however. were not entire ly personal. since be believed them 10 he shared by one other, for which he would gladly have accepted New York, even as winter resort.
 To Palm Beach he went. feeling more or less like martyr, but the season was hardly under way before he received a convincing proof of the virtue of selfdenial IL was in the form of note. in wide, mannish hand, from Elizabeth Rogers, the daughter of Morton Rogers. the presi- dent of the United Trust company, and head of the Urban Traction system, announcing her near departure for Palm Beach in company with her mother.
 Johns thoughts on receipt of the note underwent series of fluctuations curiously like those of some harassed stock under the manipulation of Joseph W Barr
 For Morton Rogers had views as to EHaabeth's future which had so far failed to run parallel with those of John The president of the United Trust company, bulwarll of the old school of finance, had opinions of Jo- seph W. Barr which included, impar- tially, everyone connected with the western operator
 In his estimation anyone who ae- cepted employ with Barr might fairly be regarded as one of the crew ef 2 pirate, ready at the word of command 10 scuttle and quite sink the fairest ship aloat on the financial seas.
 While all this was a matter of regret to John it troubled him les than il might have had Elizabeth seemed to take q different view of the situation. She was young woman Of riotous in dependence and determination, who might be counted on, under proyoea- ion, 10 take her fathers stubborn will as she had often taken five bars in flight across country with hounds.
 She accepted the young westcrner frankly as a good eomrade She liked him because he never sawed his mounts mouth into bleeding patches so that she might get in at the death first, he won if he could. He worked earnestly to beat her eighteen up oil the links although it was seldom more than two finally, for her drives and brassie shots were those of a St. An dfews' professional
 On the night before his departure Tor Palm Beach, John had called on Elizabeth, and under the influence of the coming separation had spoken more freely than usual of their plight.
 It's no use, Bess." he said, finally. 1h mock despair after they had touched lightly from many sides the parental hfmness. I've got to put through some kind of deal that will establish me as the Napoleon of finance. and then I'll win recognition don't care Tor the money"
 intend to be syndicate member h that sa.ne deal retorted Elizabeth.
 Yes, i. will be syndicate of two babes in the financial woods, said John, And they laughed, perhaps not quite heartily.
 As it turned out however, it was syndicate of three, and as for the habes-it is difficult to believe that Jo sePn w Barr ever tolerated swaddling clothes of any sort.
