btrong brown hair waving back from

born with achievement ready-made in

that morning a vice-president of the
Valiant Corporation-one of the great
est and most successful OF modern
day organizations: he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning. had
toppled to it's fall.
How solid and changeless 1t had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
- dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings, It had stood AZ a very Glib
raltar Of finance. q type and sign Of
brilliant organization. Now, on the
heels OF a trusts dissolution which
would be a nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like a card

the foods had come, and 1t had fallen!

loiterers along the primrose paths, and
John Valiant was but a decorative fig
urehead.
Valiant started as the other spoke at
his elbow. He had come to the win
dow and was looking down at the
pavement. How quickly some news
spreads!"
For the first time the young man
noted that the street below was filling
with a desultory crowd. He distin-

New York.--On the way from Pat

jolt. Passengers and crew hurried out
to find a ten-pound turtle blocking the
track.
The turtle almost bit in two an iron

Eventually the men got him into the
car. At the trolley mems supper tur

GENTLY familiar. To it, he stood a per-
feet symbol Of the elder ease and in
solent display of inherited wealth.
And the great majority of those who
had found place in that roomy cham
Der to listen to the ugly tale of squan-
dered millions, looked to him with a
resentment that was sharpened by his
apparent nonchalance.
Long before the closing session it
had been clear that, as far as indict-
ments were concerned, the investiga-
ton would be barren Of result. OF
individual criminality, flight and sui
eide had been confession, but more
sweeping charges could not be brought
home. The gilded fool had o brought
himself into the embarrassing puryieW

which lay a small black satchel with
q paddock on It's handle, whose con.

heavy hands with a look Of incredu-

among them.
The shock was still on his face when
q knock came at the door. and q man
entered. The newcomer was gray

A burn from sulphuric acid-vitriol.
ms it is often called-is one Of the most

When it touches the tissues Of the

10 dilute the acid as quickly as pos

A burn from ammonia, though not
