Why, he had spent more than that a

was poor!
What could he do? He could not

by an importunate tradesman. And
he had never tried to earn a dollar in
his life: as to current methods Of max.

"FAiled!" calculated John Valiant
blankly. and the hat he held dropped

figure. with wide-set hazel eyes and
strong brown hair waving back from

Never had his innocuous and but
ter-fy existence known a surprise
more startling. He had swung into
the room with all the nonchalant hab-
its. the ingrained certitude Of the man
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 its fall.
How solid and changelees 1t had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
30 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. 1t had stood as a very Glib
raltar Of finance, a 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 q card
board. The rains had descended and
the floods had come, and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
in his revolving chair and was looking
at the trim athletic back blotting the
daylight. with a smile that was little
short Of q covert sneer. He was one
of the local managers of the corpora
tion whose ruin was to be that days
