An hour before Mark might have
quailed before Henley's wrath. Now
he did not quail.
See here!" he said sharply. pushing
away the fist under his nose. Prob
ably you're right. Probably I'll fall
into line. l hope not-for my own
sake. But you can talk to me like
that when give you the excuse. And
now you," he added coldiy, had better
pull yourself together. There are clerks
within hearing"
Henley dropped heavily into a chair.
Slowly the paroxysm subsidized. In ST.
lence Mark watched the white. still
working face.
1t was Henley who spoke first, and
surprisingly. What are you think
ing?
I'm wondering, does money make
towards of us all?"
Henley stared hard For moment
Mark thought that again match had

He Knew the Answer.

His name was Tommy, and he came
home from school looking SO down in
the mouth that mother asked him Sc
verely what was the matter? Out of
his little trousers pocket he fished a
note from the teacher, which said:
Tommy has been a very naughty
boy. Please have serious talk with
him." What did you do?" asked
mother. Nothing" sobbed Tommy
"She asked a question and was the
only one who could answer It."
Him." murmured mother. What was
the question:" who put the dead
mouse In her desk drawer7" an

zine.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-10-09

refused his assent, turning arguments
aside by the simple expedient of ig-
noring them. When Henley, at whose
suggestion Mark had demanded the
right to purchase stock. insisted with
rising anger, Quinby donned a frigid
dignity.
do you want the company to lose
Truitt?" Henley demanded.
II can not conceive" Quinby an
swered coldly, that any man who
owes as much to my company as Truitt
does could be SO lacking in loyalty
and all fine sensibilities as to desert
me-"
That" said Henley CURLY, "is
damned nonsense. The company owes
more to Truitt than the stock we ask
can ever repay, more than to any other
man-with one exception"
Il am glad" Quinby thawed slightly.
that you make an exception"
Yes. Myself"
Quinby's face was study.
And" Henley continued, you can
let him have this stock or lose Truitt
and me-"
Thereupon Henley wrote out and
gave to Quinby his ,signation from
the Craftsmanship. There was a tense
silence while Quinby studied the
paper.
Very WELL" he said at last He
tore the resignation into little bits.
But it was a graceful surrender.
During the pause Quinby had regained
his poise. He was once more the
gracious patron, apparently blind to
Henley's show of dislike.
"Ah! my dear Tom," he shook his
head smilingly, that was hardly fair.
You played upon my affection. You
know there is no sacrifice / would
not make rather than lose you"
"Humph!" grunted Henley. This is
no sacrifice"
"Of course" the philanthropist went
on, 'Truitt takes under our agree
ment."
And this launched another long ar
gument. For under the Quinby COM
pany agreement-borrowed, indeed,
from his friend and rival, MacGregor
any stakeholder, upon written de-
mand by three-fourths of the stock
holders owning three-fourths of the
outstanding shares, could be compelled
to surrender his stock at its book
value" provision from the threat
Of which Quinby, owning the majority
Of the stock, alone was exempt. Had
his own interest not been so deeply
concerned Mark might have relished
the spectacle Of the tremendous AFRO
CANT Henley hurting himself in vain
against the paternal Quinby. Mark did
not deceive himself as to Henley's
real purpose, which was not to serve
him but to set up precedent to
upset the agreement.
1T isn't fair to Truitt," Henley pro-
tested vehemently. 1T isn't fair to
any one but you. How can he, how
can /, how can any Of US, know when
you're going to make a deal with the
others to kick him out and cheat him
out of the real value of his stock?"
Tact was the one weapon Henley
knew not how to WELD. Quinby gave
him a panied glance
You know I'm not hard man. And
you know that is contingency not
likely to happen"
1T happened to Cauler and Stebbins
and New"
"Ah! But they" Quinby reminded
him, got an exaggerated idea Of their
importance to the company"
Henley glared. Quinby smiled.
The mellifluous voice flowed on.

CHAPTER XIV.
Stuff of Dreams.

When his spirit for 1t was dying,
Marks campaign of conquest came to
it's grand climax-he became a stock
holder in the Quinby Steel company,
one of the young partners" of whom
Quinby, in all things abreast of his
great rival, was wont to speak with
such paternal enthusiasm. Up to this
time he had been merely an employe,
handsomely paid but finding his chief
reward from Henley's profitable
friendship.
When, through Henley, Mark laid the
matter of partnership informally be-
fore Quinby, he was allowed to see
through the philanthropist to-Quinby.
At first Quinby unctuously but firmly
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-10-09

been touched to the magazine Of his
rage. Then the red of shame crept
into the older mans countenance. He
made a gesture of detection.
You're a witness that it does"
Mark limped slowly away from the
Quinby building.
Now, by all the rules of the game
he played, was the time to exult. The
monster was tanned, or at least for
ever baff1ed; it need not, looking upon
him, lick it's SOLDERING chops. Whether
or not the partnership-fina trophy
of Eldorado's conQuest-survived
Quinby's treacherous caprice, the ad,
venturer would never again know the
haunting fear that dashed the crowd.
He had no need to catch its hurrying
pace.
Yet he did not exult. He had what
he had set out to win, and he had 1t
not. His triumph was fact. But the
sense of it, the swelling of soul. the
surging passionate pride he had fore
tasted in his young dreams, were not.
Success was but figures on a balance
sheet.
He had succeeded in life in which
sentiment. brotherly kindness, mercy.
were the badges of failure; yet the
thought of a weak Timothy Wood
house, dead in an hour of recklessness
bred by a cheat, could drive sleep
from his pillow

in excess-very much in excess-of
what you paid me for it."
The less reason them" Mark smiled,

But" Timothy swallowed hard and

me. / have been careless-I may as
well speak out and say that l am a

almost everything 1 inherited. What

And which is now mine"
Which is now yours, through hard
bargain-an inadvertently hard bar
gain, of course" Timothy added hast

deepened. And now / come to you

you to release me from it."

inventor to another"
Get that stock" Henley COM
handed ACT quick and you can get
it cheap. We can't build that rail-
road. Or rather, we won't. Let the
other fellow blaze the PATH" This
sneering quotation was from the IL
lustrious but cautious Quinby. That's
what comes from working with cow
ard. But that's no reason why we
shouldn't turn an honest dollar at the
expense of MacGregor, is it?"
!, 1t 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 Trultt
falsely and fraudulently and with In
tent to deceive and defraud, repre-
sented to the said Woodhouse 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.
by George!" he exclaimed when at
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
lie MI,
anyhow"
II prize your opinion" said Timothy
gratefully, ''the more because you've
done something mechanically yourself.
l meet so much skepticism. Do you
think you'd care to finance this?"
Well" Mark returned to caution,
after all, aerial navigation is hardly
in my line. I 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 commercial. 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 I'M
happily. Bubble, I'm afraid, expresses
it exactly"
Mark spent a minute in frowning
study of the model. 1T would be
something" he admitted ut last, ito
contribute even money to what might
turn out to be the invention of the
age. / believe believe I'll take the
excuse" He made sudden reckless
gesture. I'll do better. I'll go the
whole hog and buy the stock. Mr..
Woodhouse, you would talk the birds
out of the trees!"
1t 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
portant principle Of your machine?"
Mark inquired.
NO." Timothy answered. Il have
come to buy back that stock"
'Oh, no! I'm satisfied with my bar
gain"
But" Timothy explained innocently,
