This was the fourth or fifth time
since he had first come into the Of

such dire predictions, and in spite of
the fact that, except for the growing
scarcity Of actual currency. there was
no hint or trace of trouble to come.
Henry Galleon began to be trihe i'm

"She is fine girl" admitted Kelvin.
"1sn't it startling, though, to think
how much her mother must have look

"No." stoutly maintained Rensselaer,.

was worse than sluggish. Now, how
ever. q certain "bull'' coterie Of tho
railroad crowd, seeming here DELHI
crate attempt to force the market,
combined in more or less aggressive
counter attack and within another
week did actually succeed in forcing
up the entire line some ten points.
This action. however, had no effect
upon Phillip Kelvin. Every morning
he sold the monotonous 1000 shares
of each Of the twenty stocks which
had been chosen for attack. On the
day that the bull movement had forced
stocks the highest Galleon remon-
strated
Look here, Mr. Kelvin" said he:
''you arc bucling up against some of
the biggest men on the street, a group
of half Il dozen men, each Of whom
could probably swallow you whole in
financial way. If they get after

losing tremendous amount Of mon

"You have everything margined fifty

Galleon frowned. "There prevails at
