READING THE BIBLE THROUGH
One May Go Through Holy Book In
Sixty Hours at Ordinary Pulpit
Rate, Says Or. Morgan.

Dr. Campbell Morgan, lecturing re.
Gently at Sheffield, arrested his audi
ence by the statement that "the whole
Bible may be read through at ord;'
nary pulpit rate in 60 hours, OF in six
weeks, giving an hour and half each
day"
In proof, Doctor Morgan told a good
story. When staying in New York
his host the manager of the Manhat
tan bank. challenged the doctors
statement.
Il asked him to try it," said DR..
Morgan, humorously adding, "for 1t
would at least get my friend through
his Bible once"
Some time after the banker met
Doctor Morgan, and, referring to the
challenged statement, said: you
were wrong, you know"
How far was | out?" asked the
doctor.
Twenty hours" said the manager,

from end to end, and it took me ex-
actly 40 hours"
But replied Doctor Morgan, Il
said at pulpit rate, not bank man

me, and calls insistently for a well staged
performance. Surely our profession, Mr..
Mac, would be drab and sordid one if we
did not sometimes set the scene so as to
glorify our results. The blunt accusation,
the brutal tap upon the shoulder, what can
one make of such denouement? But the
quick inference, the subtle trap, the clever
forecast of coming events, the triumphant
vindication of bold theones,-are these not
the pride and the justification of our life's
work? At the present moment you thrill
with the glamour of the situation and the
anticipation of the hunter. Where would
be that thrill if had been as definite as a

We all had good reason to join in the as

one. Slowly the shadows darkened over the
long, somber face of the old house. A cold,
damp reek from the moat chilled us to the
bones and set our teeth chattering. There
was single lamp over the gateway and
steady globe of light in the fatal study.
Everything else was dark and still.
@How long is this to last?' asked the In
spector at last. @And what is it we are

BREAKING INTO WALL STREET
Continued from page 10

prices of their stocks. As the value of their
securities dropped, the banks were compelled
to sell out their loans 1t was not long be-
fore the mining men were stripped of their
fortunes.
PUT men and methods vary. Another
- character, in his personal habits and be-
havior quite as unconventional as the mining
brothers, broke into Wall Street. But from
the outset he played his own and not the
other mans game, and probably for that
reason he is playing it still. He has money,
brains, courage, and certain amount OF in
f1uence, welded through the fact that he is
an extensive operator in the stock market.
He wished to enter into the social life of the
men with whom he played the game of dol
lars; but there he met with opposition. His
friends proposed his name for membership
in one of the select New York clubs. He
was blackballed.
But the man who broke into Wall Street
says he doesn't care, and he continues to
lead life of uproarious pleasure, throwing
ffty-dollar tips into the faces of hotel wait
ers and otherwise enjoying himself after his
own fashion. The houses of many of his
Wall Street associates may be closed against
him; but he takes his revenge out of those
who exclude him from their social life. As
stock manipulation he plays all sorts of
pranks upon his false friends, gives them
misleading tips, then plumbers them, and
they do not dare to rebel against him.
I'm my own man, is the favorite phrase
of this man from the West; and it is an apt
one, for he has the strength of character to
remain in the camp of his enemies, and the
mental ingenuity to outwit them.
[Another of Mr.. Collman's Wall Street
articles aciH appear in an early issue.

those outside, until the aisles were jammed
tight and there was bargain-day overflow
clamoring on the sidewalk.
The salesman recovered his wits when he
saw the boys passing his samples about to
the crowd farther back and even outside.
@Herep he called to the proprietor.
@Wait minute on this rush. Your Gus
toners are selling these coats faster than
you're buying them of me. Well have to

your rush order, and then deliver the goods

EVENING was drawing in when we reas-

his manner, myself curious, and the de-
tectives obviously critical and annoyed.
"Well, Gentlemen" said my friend grave

We passed along the outer bounds of the
Manor House park until we came to place
where there was gap in the rails which
fenced it. Through this we slipped, and then
in the gathering gloom we followed Holmes
until we had reached shrubbery which lies
nearly opposite to the main door and the
drawbridge. The latter had not been raised.
Holmes crouched down behind the screen of
laurels, and we all three followed his example.

SEVERAL years ago, when the mackinaw
~ coat was just establishing its present
popularity, a salesman anxious to make
good was out in the interests of such manu-
facturer. He landed one winter afternoon
in an Indiana university town, and tackled
the biggest clothing establishment there.
The proprietor wouldn't listen to buy
ing the goods. They were too novel, too
gay, no one would buy them, and they'd
The salesman argued and wheedled, but
to no avail. The proprietor remained firm.
He had never seen such coat, and couldn't
be convinced there would be sale for them
in his town.
Finally, happening to glance out of the
window, the weary salesman noticed
university student passing by, wearing a
red toboggan cap and carrying skates over
his shoulder.
@There!" he thought. "A mackinaw
would just suit that boy, know. He skates,
and isn't afraid of color-he ought to want
one.'
He stepped to the door and called the
boy in. The student entered, one of those
bright-eyed lads always ready for a new
experience.
The salesman held up one of his sample
coats, in gay red-and-black plaid.
Ever see one of these?" he asked.
u should guess yes!' CALCULATED the boy.
@That's mackinaw. Some of the U. of
M. team were wearing them when we played
there last November. Say, how much is
that coat?" And he reached for his pocket
book.
The salesman named the retail price.
@Good! I'll take it. And, say, you just
wait till l get the bunch in here. They'll
all want EN-
He ran out on the sidewalk and began
calling right and left. @Hie! Stryker!
Come over here! Beals! Simpson! Davis!
Come over here! Beat it! Mackinaws for
sale!"
The students in the street gradually took
up the shout, 1Mackinaws! Mackinaws!"
They came running from all directions
Dellmell. Soon the store was full of merry
mob, all ordering coats.
4Give me a blue one!"
i Il want that green -and-black one!"
@Say, can't have a red one?"
@My size is"
@Toss me that red-and-black one and
lets have look at it!'
The proprietor and all his statesmen had
out their pads and pencils, taking down
names and sizes and colors as fast as they
could scribble them.
And still the student in the red toboggan
cap was at the door calling, @Mackinawsl
Mackinaws! Step right up, Gentlemen,
