Every year certain number OF

Of Joshua asked, as they saw the me-

I am reminded of an example Of pa

Up among the Berkshire Hills there is
a modest shaft that marks the grave
of another gallant leader of negro
troops. I refer to Colonel Chauncey
Bassett, of the Bassett Grand Army
post of Michigan, the grandfather Of
my children and the father of that
elect lady, my wife. How Colonel
Bassett inspired his men is illustrated
by the heroisln of negro lad who
was the color-bearer. AS Colonel Bas'

this charge: "My boy, bring back the
colors or tell to God the reason why"

by the smoothly operating ma
chine of a lackey who inhabited the
place. while Dowsett took Scotch and
soda and Daylight cocktail. Leon
Guggenhammer arrived in the midst
of the drink, and ordered Scotch. Day
light studied him curiOusly. This was
one of the great Guggenhammer fam
lily; a younger one, but nevertheless
one of the crowd with which he had
locked grapples in the North. Nor
did Leon Guggenhammer fail to men
ton cognizance 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 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, ne was go
ing into 1t with his eyes open. And
they filled hts 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
close, his handsome Jewish eyes
flashing enthusiastically. They'll
think you are raiding on your own In
proper buccaneer style"
''Of course, you understand, Mr.. Har-
nish, the absolute need for keeping
our alliance in the dark" Nathaniel
Letton warned, gravely
Daylight nodded his head.
"And you also understand" Letton
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
blers themselves. 1t is not an attempt
to 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
sett said. "The commercial need for
copper is continually increasing. Ward
Valley Copper, and all that it stands
for-practically one-quarter of the
worlds supply, as have shown you
is 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 we'll.
And as Mr.. Letton has pointed out,
the thing is legitimate and square.
On the eighteenth the directors meet,
and, instead of the customary divi-
dend, a double dividend will be de-
clared"
There will be all sorts Of rumors

there, and another man whom Day
light recognized before the introduce
ton was begun. 1t was Nathaniel Let
ton, and none other Daylight had seen
his face a score of times in the mag
azines and newspapers, and read about
his standing in the financial world,
and about his endowed University of
Daratona. He, likewise, struck Day
light as man of power, though he
was puzzled in that he could find no
likeness to Dowsett. Except in the
matter of cleanness-a cleanness that
seemed to go down to the deepest
fibers of him-Nathaniel Lection was
unlike the other in every particular.
Thin to emaciation, he seemed a cold
flame of a man. Not more than fifty,
matched with a sparse growth of iron
gray hair, he looked several times the
age of Dowsett.

last stroke, when the directors declare

And one other thing, Mr.. Harnish,"
Guggenhammer said, "if you exceed
your available cash, or the amount you
care to invest in the venture, don't
