CHAPTER XIX.
They Who Water With Tears.

~
AS at last the news of John Rawn's
collapse broke full and fair-disas-
trous enough to please even his late
warmest friends, the stock markets
east and west, became scenes Of riot.
The truth, of course. had leaked out
regarding Rawn's fight in the last
ditch. The newspapers swarmed up
on Graystone hall, besieging any who
could be found. Halsey refused to
talk, and moreover Rawn could not be
found. This threw them upon their
own resources, and what they did not
know they imagined. Even thus. the
widest Of them all could not imagine
half; the shrewdest Of the journalists
could not get their hands on the Sin
side story" here. No one in or around
or back of the stock exchanges could
be found possessed of secret informa-
ton which he was willing to impart.
Throughout wild hours of hurrying.
telegraphing. investigating. the papers
kept up their frenzied search for the
truth, and found it not. and knew they
had not found it.
Halsey, one morning after sleep
less night, more than week after
Rawn's departure to New York, Sc
cured copies of each of the morning
papers. He stood uncertain. in the

after his arrival in the East, showed
himself more and more untidy in per-
sonal habits; and lastly, began to
seek the false strength of intoxicat-
ing drink. His demeanor in his rela-
tons with his urbane associates lost
its usual arrogance. John Rawn. late
dictator, became explanatory, concili-
atory--a change OF mind which had
visible physical tokens His eye be-
came weaker and more watery. his
shoulders more dropped. his voice
more quayering, his address less
abrupt and domineering.
John Rawn was a broken man. and
began to show it. Wherefore his late
friends exulted The wolves, ranged
in circle, lick their chops when the
wounded bull totters upon his uncer-
tain legs. Certain large financial fig
ures in the eastern city licked their

in contemplation of John Rawn as he
tottered.
Yet Rawn himself could get no d.
rect proof of the identity Of those
now secretly assailing him. At the
directors meeting of the International
he was received politely and respect
fully-with too much politeness and
respect, as he felt. although himself
unlike the man once wont to rule there
with an iron hand. He did not dare
tell them of Halsey's detection. could
not doubt that they already knew of
it; but he met no queries regarding
that or anything else in the conduct of
the western factory's business. No one
seemed to know that the most impor-
tant of all their factories was closed,
after tedious term spent in incom-
pletion. His associates all were as
polite as himself, indeed. more so; as
ready as himself to discuss gravely
and earnestly any detail of the BUSH
ness which now, as all politely agreed.

| somewhat delayed" No one offered
any criticism of the executive.
But, what was far more deadly to
him, the market seemed most oner-
ously and cruelty oppressive upon the
outside investments of John Rawn.
International Power was not ham
mered, for the reason that there was
little of it out to hammer. The Rawn
stock in International. of course, did
not come upon the market. Rawn in
tended to hold on to that grimly, fight
ing for it to the last gasp, trusting to
chance to mend matters for him at the
eleventh hour. But ruin in the general
market faced him: and he knew that,
with credit gone, the courts would
take for hts former creditors what
ever property he could be shown to
have. He saw the shadowy circle of
the wolves of high finance. Almost he
felt their fangs swapping at his ham
strings.
In these savage hours the mind of
John Rawn cast about for rescue, for
hope. No rescue, no hope, appeared
except one last desperate alternative,
purchasable not now with cash or
power or influence-since these were
gone-but with what other and dearer
things remain to man-things some
men, not rotted with the love of self,
keep through any or all disaster, prize,
even above life and all life's bust
ness success. Halsey! All! Halsey
was the savior of Rawn-ha1sey. the
man who had Inundated him In his
own home. How could Haisey be Sc
cured? There might be brought to
bear upon him one influence that of
a beautiful and fascinating woman!
What matter if the one woman was
his wife, Virginia Rawn? He had al
ready limited to her of her duty. He
wondered now continually whether
she had really and fully understood.
He wondered what she was doing with
Halsey.
AS to Halsey. who knew little or
nothing of all these turbulent emo
tons. all these crowding incidents. he
found his situation In the great house
of John Rawn one wholly to his dis
like. Ee saw little OF his wife Grace

THE CLASS OF MEN WHO
MAKE THE TOWN OOMER

The difference between q dead
tOWn and a live town is the
difference between dead mer-
chants and live merchants.
Some merchants are so dead or
free from enterprise tina tit
takes sizzling hot thrusts to
awaken enough life in them to
even penetrate the OutermOst
rim Of business progress.
They will sit around endeav-
oring to catch trade that comes
to town without trying o dray
business. They tell the public
that they do not advertise in the
newspapers, but give their trade
tn benefit of the little money they
might spend in advertising by
by giving them mere for their
money than the advertiser
which they know is falsehoOd.
The advertiser always gives
better goods for the money than
the merchant who doesn't adver-
tiSe, for the advertisers goods
are turned quicker and IRE al
ways new and np-tO-date. Be-
sides the advertiser is the town
boomer, while the nOn-advertis-
er is the town sponger.
The advertiser, through the
medium o fhis ads, is reaching
opt and bringing new people to
t0Wn to trade and is thus both
directly and Indirectly adyertis-
ing the town.
There is q way i (which every
person trading in this town can
help the town, and that is to en-
courage enterprise by patrOniz-
ing the merchant who does ad-
vertizing. That's one way to
