 In spite of Stuart's contempt for the mere possession of money in spite of bis traditional contempt for Bivens' an tecedents character and business meth Ods. he found himself unconsciousfy paying homage to the power the fttle, dark, swarthy figure today 1ncarnated Bivene had become more difficult of approach and carried himself with quiet, conscious priGe.
 Stuart was scarcely prepared for the hearty. old fashioned cordial way in which he went about the business for which he had asked him to come
 Now Jim, this is your day; those fellows out there in the reception hall can wait. You and 1 must have the thing out-man to man. heart to heart. You can talk plainly and I'll answer sQuarely.
 I've got . proposition to make to you. so big you've got to hear it, so big you can't get away from it. because you're not fool. You're man of gen jus. There is no height to which you cannot climb when once your feet are on the ladder And I'm going to put them there. 9:
 The assurance in Bivens voice and. t1AO COAIdSEOO0 C1ILuASAdSAA @ALH W hASA he spoke impressed Stuart.
 Bivens was quick to recognize it and strike at once.
 Before present my plans want to show you that can make good my word have caused these reporters to be sent here today for the purpose of giving the widest publicity to the facts about my fortune Another run has been planned tomorrow on one of my banks I have placed my money and securities in the next room, go arranged that you can verify my statements, and at the proper moment shall ask these reporters into the place and let them see with their own eyes. There can be no more run1ors in Wall street about my financial status. Come in here
 Bivens led the way into the. room beyond, which was the meeting place of Ehe directors of his many corpora tions ..5s s.-..
 Stuart had scarcely passed the door when he stopped, struck dumb with amazement. In the center of the great office was sight that held him spell bound. An immense vernilion wood table, six feet wide and fifty feet in length filled the center On it the wiz ard had placed his fortune of ninety millions of dollars. Twenty millions were in gold, it's heavy weight sustain ed by extra stanchions. The coin, ap- parently all new from the national mint, was carefully arranged around the edges of the table in solid bull wark two feet high.
 Behind this gleaming yellow pile. of gold he. had placed his stocks and bonds-each pile showing on its top layer the rich green. gold or purple eolors of its issue, each pile marked with a tag which showed it's total amount. The effect was stunning.
 Bivens approached the table softly and reyerently, as priest approaches the high altar, and touched the gold with the tips of his slender little fingers.

 When the doctor had gone and Nan was left alone with Stuart an embar- rassed silence fell between them.
 She was quietly wondering if he were fully unconscious when she was sob bfng and saying some very foolish things. Above all, she was wondering whether he knew that she had kissed him.
 When her car stopped at South Washington square and Stuart insisted on scramblfng out alone. she held his hand tight moment and spoke with trembling earnestness: You will see me now, Jim. and be friends:"
 He answered promptly
 'sYes. Nan. I will The world is nev. CT going to be quite the same place for me after today. There was one moment a thousand years.
 A hot flush stole over the woman's beautiful face as she looked steadily into his eyes and quietly asked:
 What moment was that?' ''The moment looked down that gnn barrel, saw the stupid hate in that fools eyes and felt the thfob of the in- sane desire to kin in the people behind him. the people for whom I've been giving my life joyous sacrifice"
 Nan smiled q sigh of relief
 ttOh. l see. Well. you've made me very happy with your promise. I know you will keep your word.'
 He pressed her hand firmly.

shine. A fearless officer of the
 law had struck blow for jus tice that marked the beginning of a new era of national life. Slowly but surely. the prices of stocks began to mount
 Incidentally a corner in wheat was suddenly developed. and the price Of bread rose 20 per cent. Bivens was found to be the mysterious power be- hind the deal. and before the old timers in the wheat pit could marshal their forces to crush him he closed out his holdings at profit of five millions. The little financier awoke next morn- ing to find himself the most famous man in America. His picture now ap- peared everywhere and all sorts of writers began to weave marvellous sto- ries of his achievements.
 Nan was insisting again that he make Stuart an offer to become his associate in business
 s'I'm sure he will consider your offer now
 Bivens looked at her moment curi- ously and she turned her eyes away.
 s'Why do you think he has changed his attitude toward me:''
 From something he said. That mob has written question mark before his life

 ''I'1l not try-I'll do it.
 I've an enemy somewhere among the fa1Ien,'' Bivens went on musingly, ''who is dying hard. In spite of the fact that I hare unlimited resources, this man is constantly circulating re-
 
 finances. He uses the telephone principally and he has started two runs on my bank within the past month Another is pending. I'm go- ing to ask Jim to preside over an in vestigation of my resources in the presence of a dozen newspaper re porters.
 Nan stopped and kissed him.
 When Stuart reached Biyens new offices in Wall street he was amazed at their size and magnifcence- The first impression was one of dazzling splendor. The huge reception hall was trimmed from floor to dome in onyx and gold,
 Stuart nodded to a group of reporters waiting for the chance of word with the great man. Looks like a. futt house, doesn't itt'' he said.

moved.
The girl had been driving over the
lawn for several minutes when she IN
advertently grasped the lsver that put
the flying mechanism into play. In
stantly the craft started heavenward.
Miss Muller was frightened. She
ierked furiously at one lever after an
other, but in twinkling the plane was
20 feet in the air.
Then the girl OF twenty-five, realiz-
Ing that she was powerless to stop up
ward flight, decided to take chances
on coming down and shut off the mo-
tor.
The machine, with the motor stop
ped, dropped earthward like a spent
rocket. The girl made no attempt to
guide the downward plunge, but just
when another instant would have seen
her crushed amid the wreckage OF the
steel car. she seemed to gather her
wits. The bystanders heard little
cry and then the girls body shot out
and landed few feet from the mono
plane. just as 1t crumbled into a
twisted mass OF steel, She had tried
to jump clear OF the wreckage and her
success had saved her life.

MEAT SHIFTS DOG FROM BOY
Mad Shepherds Attack Stayed Just
Long Enough to Rescue Lad
From Possible Death.

Coatesville, Pa.-The fact that he
was delivering meat for his father
saved James, twelye-year-old son of
William Snyder, from the fangs OF
mad shepherd dog which had start
ed to attack the lad.
When the dog sprang at young
Snyder the boy with quick wit seized
an order from his express wagon and
tossed it to the ravlng animal. This
diverted the dogs attention to the
load of meat, but instead of eating
any he merely went into canine
hysteria over It,
Albert Flahardy. clerk in a Main
street store, saw the boys plight and
with a brick struck the dog in the
head, and Charles Dunleavy, con.
tractor, ended the animals life with
a pick. Before attacking the boy the
dog ran amuck and bit number of
other dogs.

Old Bexhill stands inland. The ma

Ruins Of Portal, Psvensey Castle.
ployer. one comes to the wonderful
ruin Of Peyensey castle, the ground
upon which it stands having history
extending back for close upon 1000
years. 1t Is pretty certain that the
walls which are of Roman construc-
tion, encompass the spot where stood
the city OF Anderida. one of the nine
great fortresses which guarded the
southern shore.
Until the thirteenth century the sea
encroached so far inland that ships
rode at anchor beneath its walls. Un-
der the shadow Of the castle is the old
Mint house, under whose roof Edward
vi. has slept. About five miles away,
on clear day, can be seen the mellow
brick ruins of the castle Of Hurstmon-
ceau, one of the finest specimens Of
medieval brick ruins in England, and
dating from the reign of Henry vi.
Besides Its advantageous proximity
to these historical spots Bexhill has
an extraordinary charm and individ-
uality of its own, quite unlike most
south coast seaside places.
