whipped US houndly IN mat AIlair'
Daratona. He, likewise, struck Day
light as a man Of power, though he
was puzzled in that he could tind no
likeness to Dowsett. Except in the
matter of cleanness--a cleanness that
seemed to so down TO the deepest
fibers of him-Nathaniel Letton was
unlike the other in every particular.
Thin to emaciation, he seemed cold
flame OF man. Not more than fifty,
matched with a sparse growth of iron
gray hair, he looked several times the
age of Dowsett.
They drank-that is, Nathaniel
Lection took mineral water served
by the smoothly operating ma
chine of lackey who inhabited the
place, while Dowsett took Scotch and
soda and Daylight a cocktail. Leon
Guggenhammer arrived in the midst
OF the drink, and ordered Scotch. Day
light studied him obviously This was
one Of the great G1ggenhamtner FAM
lily; younger one, but nevertheless
one of the crowd with which he had
locked grapples IN the North. Nor
did Leon Guggenhammer fail to NEIL
ton cogni2ance OF that old affair. He
complimented Daylight on his prov.
ess-"The echoes of ophir came down
to US, you know. And l must say, Mr..
Daylight-er, Mr.. Harnish, that you
whipped us roundly in that affair.""
Leon Guggenhammer was young and
fat. Not day more than thirty, his
face save for the adumbated puff
sacks under the eyes, was as smooth
and lineless as a boys. The talk
soon centered down to business. Dow
sett preached the plan, aided by an
occasional remark from the other two,
while Daylight asked questions. What
ever the proposition was, he was go
ing into 1t with his eyes open. And
they filled his eyes with the practical
vision of what he had in mind.
"They will never dream you are
with us" Guggenhammer interjected,
as the outlining of the matter drew to
a close, his handsome Jewish eyes
flashing enthusiastically. They'll
think you are raiding on your own in
proper buccaneer style"
"0f course, you understand, Mr.. Har-
nish, the absolute need for keeping
our alliance In the dark" Nathaniel
Letton warned, grayely.
Daylight nodded his head
"And you also understand" Lection
went on, that the result can only
be productive Of good. The thing is
legitimate and right, and the only ones
who may be hurt are the stock gam
bIers themselves. 1t is not an attempt
10 smash the market. AS you see your
self, you are to bull the market. The
honest investor will be the gamer"
YES, that's the very thing" Dow
set said. "The commercial need for
copper is continually increasing. Ward
Valley Copper, and all that 1t stands
for-practically one.quarter of the
worlds supply, as have shown you
is a big thing, how big, even we can
scarcely estimate. Our arrangements
are made. We have plenty of capital
ourselves, and yet we want more,
Also, there is too much Ward Valley
out to suit our present plans. Thus
we kill both birds with one stone.
Not only will you bull Ward Valley,
but YOU will at the same time gather
Ward Valley in. This will be OF ines
Unable advantage to US, while you
and all of us will profit by it as well.
And as Mr.. Letton has pointed out,
the thing is legitimate and square,
On the eighteenth the directors meet,
and, instead of the customary diyi-
dend. double dividend will be de-
clared."
There will be all sorts of rumors
on the street." Dowsett warned Day
light, but do not let them brighten
you. These rmors may even origin,
ate with us. You can >see how and
why clearly. But rumors are to be
no concern of yours. You are on the
