T 1ei2 BY EMERSONEHOUGH

Rawn stood engaged In his regular
nightly devotions--he made no pray
ers Of eventide beyond that to his mir
ror. But now nething he saw
caused him to ding nself into seat
at a smaller glass, where the light
was better. He gazed into this also,
intently. Something seemed strange
about his eyes, about his mouth. He
turned his face slightly sidewise and
studied the deep, triangular lines at
the corner Of the chin. He saw roll
Of fat at the back of his neck, and OBJ
served certain throatiness, a volu-
minousness Of flesh below the chin.
The latter stood out distinct, pushing
forward the rich mans chin, the old
mans chin. He lifted finger and
touched the arteries on his temples.
They were frmer to the touch than
once they had been. He looked at the
veins on his hands, and realized that
they stood fuller than was once the
case His nose, large, just a trifle
bulbous, seemed to him to have gained
somewhat in color in late years. He
looked at his eyes in eager question
ing. Yes, they belonged to him! But
for some reason they lacked brilliance
and fire. They were colder, less i'm
pressive, less responsive;-the rich
mans eyes, the old mans eyes. He
looked at his hair, now almost white
at the temples. He hesitated for mo-
ment, then picked up hand glass and
deliberately turned his back to the
mirror. Yes, it was there, shiny
spot of naked epidermis. He knew
that, but always he Stunned the
knowledge and the proof. For many
years his thick name Of wiry hair had
been his pride.
John Rawn turned and put the hand
mirror on the dresser top again. He
looked full into the glass at his image
once more. His pendulous lower lip
dropped, tremulously. He saw his
eyes winking. He saw something
else. Yes, to his wonder, to his gasp
Ing horror, he saw something strange
and revolutionary! A tear was stand
ing in the corner Of his eye! 1t
dropped, it trickled down his cheek.
John Rawn for the first time in his
life was learning what the one game
is-and learning that time is the one
winner in that one game! He was old.

standing for that! That IS, unless we
can stand from under, somehow"
yes, seemingly" ventured the last
speaker. But how is that somehow
There isn't any market for Interna.
tional."
The gray-bearded man laughed jubi
lantly at this Have you found that
out?"
Eyes, l certainly have found it out
OF course, the market has been Van
yonder. But he won't take on over
a certain amount. He wants to break
the control, Of course. But he's going
TO wait until he gets up to the point
and then do something quick. He's
not going to hold our bag for us-oh
no! Not him!"
"Well, I've a suspicion" said the
older man finally, that that secret
we've been after has been in the hands
Of our superintendent for long time. ''
"Why didn't Rawn tell US, then?
demanded one Of his companions,
HAS he sold US out?"
"No, Rawn hasn't sold us out At
least I don't think So"
who has, them"
II don't know The young man who
made the wheels go for Us whenever
Rawn wanted MIN to-he's the real
key to this situation, if I'm a good
guesser. There's your contraband,
and you can locate him somewhere in
this particular woodpile, or I'm no
judge"
"Rawn's pretty we'll spread out in
the general market" quite Irrelevant
ly suggested Standley.
81 should say he was:" growled Ack-
erman. Hes been in on all the good
things in the last two or three years.
He must have made millions-I don't
know how much
"In the general market-not Inter
national, of course. He's got all his
holdings in that. He has been spend
ing money, thought" Standley wagged
his head.

CHAPTER XVII.
An Informal Meeting.

It must surprise those simple folk
Messieurs Washington, Jefferson, and
their like, were they to return to life
at this advanced day and gaze upon
the admirable republic which they fan
cied to be founded on immutable pr1n-
ciples. AS in politics to-day those
principles would seem proved to have
been not quite immutable, so, in COM
merce, men and methods would ap-
pear wholly different, from those
known in that earlier day. For in
stance. in commercial matters, the
men of that day would now find in
daily application fourth dimension
Of affairs once wholly unknown; the
sixth sense of the modern business
man, a delicately differentiated faculty
evolved in the holy Of holies where
events cast their financial shadows far
in advance of themselves. John Jay,
or any fnancier of Revolutionary time,
very likely lacked in that regard, and
had but five senses.
This keen sense Of prophecy, prop
erty Of modern leaders in finance, was
not lacking in the case of the directors
of the International Power Company
all and several; and more especially
several. Capitalists hunt in packs
but only up to a certain point. The
sauve qui peut has small chivalry
about it even in the holy of holies.
Within a few days after the turbu,
lent scenes which took place in the
quiet surroundings of Graystone Hail.
there was held, quite Informally, In
deed on a wholly impromptu basis, a
meeting of the greater portion of the
directors Of the international Power
Company. It was meeting not called
by the president, and the president
knew nothing of it. 1t was not set
for the usual headquarters in the
East; on the contrary, by meres'
chance, these keen-witted men met
by accident in the western city where
we're located the works and central
operating Offices of the International
Power Company. They made their stop
ping place, as usual, at the National
Union Club, where they were less Ger
tain to become the prey Of prylng re
porters-a breed detested above al
things by these and their like.
There was, this afternoon, casually
present, a certain gray-haired, full
bodied man, of full beard and rather
portly body. He was speaking with
President Standley, of st. Louis, who
also by merest chance happened to be
in town. To them presently came the
former general traffic manager Of Mr.
Standley's own road, Ackerman, also
present by merest accident. Two OF
three others, moreover, by mere acci
dent, joined them, figures which were
familiar at the long table in the New
York headquarters. They looked a
one another frankly, and laughed with
out much reservation.
WELL" said Ackerman, after time

mo; on the contrary, I can-if I
pay!"
"Then pay!" he snarled suddenly,
his voice harsh, half choking. Whats
the price-nothing worth mentioning.
But it's got to be paid, no matter what
it is. We're caught, and we're
squeezed! We've got to pay, no mat

"Is it no matter to you, Mr.. Rawn p
"How can it be? I'm almost crazy
tonight! Do it, that's all, and draw
on me to the limit"
"To the limit, Mr.. Rawn?"
'To the limit" He looked her
straight in the eye, and she met his
gaze fully. She shivered slightly
again, but her delicately clean-cut face
showed no further sign. Only she
shivered, and pulled her wrap trifle
closer about her shoulders.
VERY WELL" she said. 81 may have
to draw on you-and myself, too

eyes, it's game" she answered; !;
and so rose, and left him without fur
ther word.
: John Rawn followed her up the stair,
mumbttng some sort of conjugal affec-
ton. but she left him at the landing
and passed toward her own apart
ments down the hall, giving him hard,
ly even a look of farewell. He fol
lowed her with his eyes, standing a
little time, his hand resting on the
Intel of his own door.
Alone, Rawn seated himself in the
Elizabethan armchair devised by his
most favored decorator as fitting for
this Ehzabethan room. A vast oak
bed, heavily carved, with deep and
heavy curtains, represented the deco
rator's idea of what the Virgin Queen
preferred. The walls we're deeply
carved in wainscot and cornice. A
rude attempt was made at strength
and simplicity in this, the sanctum OF
the master of Graystone Hall. Grant
ed the aid of lively Imagination, this
might have been the apartment OF
some feudal lord of another day; as
the designer and architect had not
failed delicately to suggest to Mr.
Rawn.
It is possible that in the time o1
Elizabeth pier glasses with heavily
carved frames were not common IL
the size affected by Mr. Rawn in his
private apartment. He stood before
the great glass now and gazed at what
he saw; a face haggard and lined
shoulders STOPPING little forward
body little stopped, little heavy
little soft; the watch charm hanging
In free air-the figure Of man nc
longer athletic, if ever so.

lDr. Bek's Lecture on "A Boy"

Professor Bek, of the German Depart
ment of the University of North Dakota
delighted about eighty-tive OF the lecture
course patrons Friday evening.
His theme, "a Boys Biography
should appeal to anyone who concerns
himself with or about "the boy" That
beautiful portrayal OF the life of the
lad who came to America in early life,
then wasted some of his valuable time in
attending at a private school and finally
through his grit" and "nerve" dared
present himself for admission to a high.
or school OF learning, led all to believe
that many moro good things were tu
come. The "laconic" message home to
tell OF his passing Of the examinations,
his sense OF the value OF things, his
honesty OF purpose can only by regarded
as higher incentives in the growing life
OF the boy. His persistence In that
literary society, bis labor to support

himself and in spite of these handicaps
his "stick-to-it-we-ness" to his class work
so that he ranked as tenth in a class of
forty.six graduates show the metal he
was made of. Is it a surprise to hear
that he gained a scholarship, went to
Europe for three years of university
training and then returned to America
to teach in his Alma Mater? Is it a
surprise to hear that the U. S. govern.
ment used him or rather his brains in the
Panama achievement? And now he is
back again in the Alma Mater, a married
man, his wife cooperating with HIM in
helping the young men and women of
the institution in aiding the governing
forces of that school and in spreading
words of cheer and comfort about them
selves. No better example of success, of
true social service coulo be given man,
woman or child.
And so it was voted by the many
people present. DR.. Bek was very sue
cessful in entertaining his hearers; the
mock Rotations, the little stories, the
uuips all had a value not only in reliev-
ing a tense strain but also IN driving
home the lesson from time to time.
The only criticism n might make is
that too few of the patrons came to hear
an old theme presented in a very enter
tanning and instructive tanner.
