shouldn't turn an honest dollar at the
expense Of MacGregor, is it?"
II is not, however, true, as alleged
in the bill in equity Timothy was after
ward induced by MacGregor agents to
file against Mark, that the said Truitt
falsely and fraudulently and with in
tent to deceive and defraud, repre-
sented to the said Wcodhouse that
said stock was of no value whatsoever,
the while knowing that said stock had
the value hereinbefore set forth"
Mark, who prided himself on his hon
esty, was always careful not to lay
his projects open to legal interference
In this case, that special Providence
which seems to guide the schemes of
men Of such honesty, graciously rem
dered legal fraud unnecessary.

their next meeting Timothy, with the
model before them, had explained his
plans for the new machine. by
George! 1t may bet may just be-
that you've hit it. 1t sounds plausible,
anyhow"
II prize your opinion" said Timothy
gratefully, the more because you've
done something mechanically yourself

think you'd care to finance this?"
Well" Mark returned to caution
after all, aerial navigation is hardly
in my line. l really ought to have
some security, don't you Think"
I'll give you," proposed Timothy
eagerly, "a half interest in the ma
chine"
Mark seemed to be fighting down an
impulse. But he shook his head. You
see, it's value would be scientific
rather than comRercial. And I'm just
plain money-grubber, you know"
Timothy sighed That ends it, /
guess. All I've got is mortgaged TO
the limit now. I'm disappointed,
though"
STILL" Mark went on slowly, I'D
like to do It. Haven't you anything
that would give business instinct even
an excuse to be silent?'
Nothing. Unless" Timothy ven
tured timidly, you could call Iroquois
Iron an excuse"
Mark grinned broadly. I've heard
of that bubble"
Timothy too, grinned, though un-
happily. Bubble, I'm afraid, expresses
1t exactly"
Mark spent minute in frowning
study OF the model. 1T would be

turn out to be the invention Of the
age. believe believe I'll take the

gesture. III do better I'll go the
whole hog and buy the stock. Mr..
Woodhouse. you would talk the birds
out Of the treesl"
II was ridiculously easy.
But the event had a sequel. Scarcely
a week passed when Timothy returned.
Timothy was. evidently excited
Have you discovered some new i'm.

Mark inquired.

turned to Mark. DO you accept the
agreement"
1T seems to be Hobson's choice"
Quinby rose and took Marks right
hand in both of his.
Let me be the first to welcome you
into the company. I'm sure we shall
be-harmonious."
Il can see." Mark answered with a
shrug, that harmony pays"
Quinby was gone. Mark, sickened
and saddened, watched man, for the
moment mad, belatedly giving voice
To his rage. He paced swiftly back
and forth across the room, like the
wild beast he had become. He cursed
incoherently the departed Quinby,
pouring forth a flood of coarse bias
phemies, He flung his arms about,
smote and kicked chairs and desk as
though they had lives to be taken.
This, with Quinby present. would have
struck a responsive chord in Mark s
barbaric soul. But this, with Quinby
gone. from the man who had sat silent
under threats, called forth only con

My success! My company! My
work." Henley stopped, painting and
glaring before Mark. MY God! Did
