CHAPTER XIV.

I
IN oBIN had scarcely take" his
| leave when Williams was
again summoned by the per-
! cmptoIy peal of the bell This
| time Yorke seized the board with the
| the fire-screen, replaced the photograph
| in his pocket, and had seated himself
again in his chair by the desk when
| Williams announced:
"Mr. w. Sterrett Bradfield, Mr.. Ma
| thaniel Courtney"
Mr.. Bradfield hustled in, almost on
the heels of Williams, as Yorke rose.
He was followed more slowly by a tall,
smooth-shaven man of about thirty
five. whose thin, colorless face and
somber eyes semed at first glance
vaguely familiar to Yorke.
The name, however, did not recall
anything to his memory, and he dis
missed the matter temporarily from his
mind as he greeted the attorney.
Mr.. Yorke, I am fortunate in finding
you at last. Sorry ! missed you when
you called at my office yesterday. |
want to see you on a confidential mat
ter of the highest Importance to one
of my most prominent clients, a man
whose position in the world of finance
is second to none in this country"
Yorke raised his eyebrows slightly as
he motioned his visitors to chairs.
Your client, is. presume, aware that
your are consulting me, Mr.. Bradfield?"
he queried. Would it not be more sat
isfactory if he conferred with me per-
sonally?"
Mr.. Bradfield cleared his throat.
My client isis not in position to do
that" he replied cautiously. To be
quite frank with you, Mr.. Yorke, my
client is in very serious mental and
physical condition. and in his indisposi-
tion I have taken upon myself the re-
sponsibility of seeking your advice in a
most unfortunate circumstance. This
gentleman his companion
Mr.. Courtney. is the private secretary
of Mr.. Peter Lowndes.'
He paused dramatically. to let the ef-
feet of the illustrious name lie had last
uttered weigh to its full value with the
edgment of the introduction. and the
stranger bowed gravely in response
then folded his gloved hands over his
cane, and appeared to lose himself in
thought.
Yorke felt vaguely uncomfortable in
his presence. He took no part in the
conversation, yet he seemed to domi-
nate the situation by the sheer force of
his silent. potent personality.
Mr.. Bradfield continued:
You have, ] do not doubt read in the
newspapers of the rumOred indisposi-
ton of MI Lowndes?'
Yorke nodded again. Mr.. Bradficld
drew deep breath, and said with por-
tentious impressiveness:
Il need not insult your discretion by
representing to you the necessity that
strictest confidence be maintained con-
cerning what ! am about to divulge to
you. Mr.. Yorke. One whisper Of the
truth at this moment. and the financial
world would be thrown into one of the
worst panics its history has ever
known.
