q was afraid of it,' he said hEsk- fly, then sEddenly flared out again. "You fellows have done this. tell your'
 'No doubt we precipitated the break nt this particular moment" agreea Ashburn. but you and your kind ara responsible for the break itself. It was bound to come. for Wall street Is diseased This thing will turn out right. Peliman. In the end you will find it to have been good medicine for business at large"
 "To hades with business at larger exclaimed the other. grown vicious in his big rage. What do l care fof business at lavge if I go bankrupt When are you going to stop this in. fernal massacre?"
 "I don't know" said Ashburn calm ly. "Orders do not come directly from me. They merely go through me-"
 .sThey come from Forest Lakes," asserted Pellman. Ashburn only sm1l- ed
 You're actually gloating over it.! charged Pellman. white with anger. saThe whole thing is carefully made panic by which Breed and you head bakers of his profit. Well. there are ways to make you do something, and intend to evoke them"
 Ashburn shrugged his shoulders. Go ahead and evoke" he invited. Tn the meantime I would like to call your at tention to the beautiful little fact that Il have personally cleaned up over $1,OOO,OO0 in the past week, and 1 stand to make another handsome profit If all you manipulators don't go to pieces before l can collect it"
 Pellman returned again and again to the attack. but finally was compelled to give up in despair. As he walked away he was impeded by two men car rying an iron bound wooden packing ease. and his eye mechanically noticed that there wa0 a cut in the edge of one of the sheet iron bands. the point of this cut turning up in an ugly fash ion. He called up Henry Galleon to ind out the status of his affairs there. MT. Galleon was very cold about it.
 ~I must have more margin at once - to protect your purchases" he declar- cd. "Your balance with me is now less than $50.OOO. and it will be wiped out in an hour unless you send me a check"
 ~Who is my principal creditorT ask ed Pellman.
 "Young Kelvin. He has been buy Ing outright all day and demanding ab- solute delivery of stock. I think 1t is his intention to force delivery upon all purchasers to whom he has previously sold"
 ~Where is he to be foundr'
 'ln his apartments at the Espla- nade," replied Galleon.
 Pellman hung up the receiver and hurried over to the apartments of young Kelvin. He found Phillip checking of certain items from a thick pile of memorandum slips. Seen here. he suddenly looked ageless. Pellman had given him credit only for youth and consequent inexperience. He ,moistened his lips before he spoke.
 "I understand you sold me 10000 shares of N. P.," he said.
 Kelvin consulted a card index and nodded bis head "Yes." he replied Through Henry Galleon & Co.,"
 If you force delivery on that stock said Pellman. 'T can't save breakfast money out of my operations in Gal Icons office I have come to ask of you a big favor. Let me close that deal now: let me give you my note for the difference between selling price and present market price. you to hold the stock as security"
 Impossible, Mir. Pellman," Kelvin announced. "No compromise can be made on this stock. l have just pur. chased for spot cash 10000 shares o1 N P. at sixty-four. You purchased from me at 12S. You must take the stock at that figure and you can sell il for sixty-four if you hurry. Or will keep the stock and you can pay me the difference in cash"
 T can't possibly do it." said Pell. man.
 'T can't possibly do anything else" replied Phillip dryly.
 Pellman, desperate to try some other Reans of Deotecting himself. was turn ing away when two men came into the room with a small wooden packing case bound with sheet iron Pellman might not have noticed this circum stance but for his recognition of the men His eye for smaller detail saw a cut upon one of the sheet iron bands and an ugly upturned corner.
 "Now I understand" he said. "I see how you came to be called the Cash Bear That box is full of money col lected by Breeds company and fur nished to you to conduct this cam paign- We in the financial field should have known what you were. You are Breeds puppetr'
 Kelvin looked at him calmly. 'T can not prevent you from supposing any. thing you like. MT Pellman, but would like to impress upon you the fact that I am very busy"
 Dangling and dancing upon the strings that Breed pullsr' declared Pellman with hot contempt.
 Kelvin smiled aggrS~atingly. "Ti seems to me that you. too. are danglin. and dancing upon the strings that MT Breed pulls" he charged with cool in science 'rBut you might as we'll calm down. for since you have been talking to me your firm has been announced As bankrupt"
 "It's Hep declared Pellman. though D. Nnor fv, bfu hoe <Io< trr,o
