NONSENSE replied Rensselaer,
"Why"'
Because he alone aided by Breeds
money, was able to destroy a ire
mendous institution like the Stock Ex-
change" returned Blagg heatedIy. "It
should have been wiped out Of exist
ence, no doubt, but in the process Of
breaking it up thousands Of helpless
poor were thrown out Of employment
and faced starvation, and these are
the people who invariably suffer. Then
Kelvin, by merely opening his mouth
with Breeds consent, stops the panic.
What does he do? He issues to the
press this morning an announcement
that the cash drain has stopped, that
Breed no longer requires shipments of
actual money for his bread. and that
500, 100000 of currency, very small
percentage Of what he has taken in, IS
to be put back into circulation. What
happens next? Immediately confidence
will be restored; people will go back
to work. Don't you see the monstrous
thing in this? The very lives of hun
dreds Of thousands Of men, women
and children have depended upon this
mans word! It is monstrous! Some
day that system will be swept away,
and with it must be swept young KEEL
win and all his kind"
"You talk like Kelvin himself used
to talk out on the RANCH" Rensselaer,
remarked. "Kelvin has his own dreams
of reform. You ought to compare
notes."
II doubt If our dreams would be
found to be of the same stuff" return
ed Blagg grimly '"The only ones ben
Gifted by his activity are very few
chiefly. Take the gardener out there.
He and his family would have starved
had not Kelvin personally secured
them these places, because he used to
board with them when he was poor"
"See the sunshine and hear the little
birds twitter," f1ippantly interrupted
Rensselaer, In the meantime would
it not be pity to sweep out Of ex-
istence such a tall, well built, good
looking, decent sort of chap as KEEL
vin?'
Phillip and Elsie had by this time
left the garden and We're now walking
slowly toward the house.

and it makes it all the harder when
you see so beautiful girl as that look
Ing up at him with that amount Of
alteration"
Lillian Breed, coming from a cross
path just behind Phillip and Elsie and
half concealed by shrubbery, stopped
instantly as she saw them, clutching
her hand upon her breast and half
crouching.
"Look at that girlv' said Rensselaer,.
''In figure she is positively the most
| beautiful creature 1 have ever seen.
! But she is beautiful like cat, like a
tigress."
He glanced at Blagg's face and half
recoiled. 1t flashed upon him instant

were blazing, and his lips were parted
in almost a snarl as he viewed the
succeeding tableau. Lillian suddenly
advanced upon Kelvin and Elsie,
startling them both. They found her

see her give some brief but peremp-

Just what I'm telling you. He cares
for no creature in this world but him

Rensselaer,.
