It's a hard problem, Elsie, TO hHt

with no especial training" he told her
~Stenogyaphers earn good pay II the,

takes half a year to learn, and ever
then the advancement in wages is verJ
slow"
II know" she replied. II shall appi!

Phillip shrugged his shoulders. Tn

What else is there to dor she de-

81 don't know" said Phillip. Il rath'
er think, however, THAI the best way
for me to help you would be to secure
something for your father"
Hes difficult to manage. He has
been very unfortunate"
"NevertheIess I think can place
him." he said
IF you only couldr she replied
eve would all be so grateful"
Her eyes spoke her gratitude as she
looked up at him, and they spoke of
something else-at least so Rensse-
laer judged as he came upon them.
On their way home Rensselaer,, who
had resumed his ranch bluntness In the
presence of a ranch friend, spoke Of
the girl. ''Miss White Is beautiful
young woman, beautiful In mind as
well as In face and figure" he declared.
"She has developed remarkably" ad-
mitted Kelvin. ''Sbe was a little girl
in shoe top dresses when boarded at
their house. Even then thought her
pretty, but never suspected that she
would become such q beautiful WON
an"
"She Is much more than beauti-
fui.' insisted Rensselaer,. She fS the
sort of woman who would spend her
whole life IN the endeavCT to make her
husband happy. ana she would sue
coed. | would swear that she Is Of
even temper and unfaitertng steadfast-
ness. Moreover, she Is intelligent
enough to keep pace with her husband,
no matter what his progress"
aShe b fine gill;" admitted Kelvin.
~Isn4 &C. startling, though. 70 think
how much her mother must have look
ed IKE her at the same ageT
NO." stoutly maintained Rensselaer,.
..Her mother is only a pitiful example
Of what worry and hard work ana
damnable poverty viii do for a WON
an. Right now the girl would marry
you In a minute. and you would In
sure yourself a life Of happiness"
You have rather a romantic tmag-
nation, Bert" laughed Phillip, where
upon Rensselaer, gave up the topic
with disgust.
1t did not take long for the street to
know that there was a new bear" I'm
fUence at work. When on the first
some twenty stocks were sold
In 1000 share lots no attention was
paid When, however, on the second
and third and fourth mornings the
days business was opened by the offer
Of 1000 shares Of each OF these stocks
the coincidence began to be noticed,
and when the same phenomenon oc-
CURED on the fifth and sixth and sew
enth mornings it began to be not a CO.
incidence, but a design, and all the
floor was talking Of it.
The stocks had been disposed OF
without difficulty, though there was no
particular eagernees. for the market
was worse than sluggish. Now, how
ever. a certain "bulr' coterie OF the
crowd. seeming here a deftb-
crate attempt to force the market,
combined in q more or less aggressive
counter attack and within another
week did actually succeed in forcing
mp 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-
gtrated.
Look here. Mr.. Kelvin" said he:
you are bucking up against some of
the biggest men on the street, a group
OF haiti dozen men, each of whom
could probably swallow you whole in
q financial way. Ii they get after
your scalp Pm afraid you are In for
losing a tremendous amount of mon
ey."
"You have everything margined fifty
points"
Yes. But have known this same
group to manipulate the market to a
seventy point rise"
Young Kelvin was quite eomplacent
about it. They are doing me a serv-
ice." said he. 1.-The margins l have
put up on the stocks previously bought
are ample. They are not going to
force prices far enough to make you
call for more margin, but II they do
the margin will be forthcoming. In
the meantime, however. they are en-
abling me 10 sen at much higher
price. They are playing my own game
for me-"
