I'll give up my music, go to work
and help you right away"
The father placed his band gently
over her lips. and the tears sprang into
his eyes In spite Of his effort to keep

The older man grunted contemptu-
ously.
| "les, that's what ails you, I know.
| You've been getting them for some
time. That's why you owe me for
your rooms. That's why there's some
thing the matter with your accounts
| Il swear to you, doctor, my accounts
| are clean. I've bought few stocks.
I've made a little and lost little.
I've got the chance now I've been
waiting for. I've a real piece of in

secretary. The little weasel has mGde
millions on this break. and he has
been selling the market short for two

1t will jump FIVE points in ten min
utes when it turns the other way.

trick. It's lie. Take my advice and
do just the opposite from what you

meet that note somehow. and I've got

before the market closes and make
$4,000"
"I'll drop into a brokers' Office and

The next day the more optimistic
