SYNOPSIS.

Kenneth Griswold. an unsuccessful
writer. because of socialistic tendencies,
holds up Andrew Galbraith, president of
the Bayou State Security, in the presi-
dents private office and escapes with $780,
600 In cash. BY original methods he es-

Galbraith's check in the bank. Charlotte
recognizes Griswold, and decides TO de-
nounce him She sees the brutal mate
rescued from drowning by Griswold. She
talks to Griswold and by his advice sends
letter OF betrayal to Galbraith anony-
nously. Grlswold is arrested on the ar
rival OF the boat at st. Louis, but escapes
from his captors. He decides on Wa
haska, Mimi, as a hiding place, and after
outhtting himself properly, takes the
train. Margery Grierson, daughter Of
Jasper Grierson, the financial magnate Of
Wahaska. starts campaign for social
recognition by the "old families" of the
town. Grlswold falls III on the sleeper
and Is cared for and taken TO her home
In Wahaska by Margery, who finds the
stolen money in his suitcase. Broffin,

suggested the smoking-room and a
cigar, and Griswold went willingly.
From that on the path to better ac-
quaintance was the easiest OF short
cuts, even as the mild cigar which
Raymer found In his pocket case
paved the way for a return of the
smokers zest In the convalescent.
Without calling himself a reformer,
the young ironmaster proved to be a
practical sociologist. Wherefore, when
Griswold presently mounted his own
sociological hobby, he was promptly In
vited to visit the Raymer foundry and
machine works, to the end that he
might have some of his theories of the
universal oppression of wage earners
charitably modified.
"Of course, / don't deny that we're
a long way from the Millennium yet"

ditions In his own plant. but I do

scalp, he might as we'll get ready to
wear wig, right now. I'll back her
to win, every time"
Accordingly, when Mr.. Edward Ray
mer came out of the presidents room
at the Farmers and Merchants bank
the following morning, he was tread
ing upon air. For In his minds eye
there was a fair picture Of great
and successful industry 10 be built

CHAPTER Xl-continued.


He amt the man to go to his
womenfolks when he gets into hot wa
ter. He'll keep it to himself; and
they'll go on bluffing you, same as
ever"
Miss Grierson pulled on her gaunt-
let's and made ready to go, leisurely,
as befitted her pose.
THAT is where you are mistaken, p"
she objected, coolly. at isn't very
often | can give you a business tip,
but this is one of the times when l
can. When John Raymer died, he left
an undivided half of his estate to his
wife, the other half to be shared
equally by the children. At the pres
ent moment every dollar the entire
family has is invested in the iron
plant. You will let Mr. Raymer get
himself into hot water, as you call it,
and then, when l say the word, you'll
reach In and pull him out"
When she was gone, the president
selected another of the overgrown CT
gars from box in the desk drawer,
lighted it, and tilted back In the big
armchair to envelop himself in a cloud
of smoke. 1t was his single expensive
habit-the never-empty box Of Brob-
dingnagian cigars in the drawer-and

derstand loyalty, they are loyal; part

you are enlarging?" said Griswold.
Raymer waited until the only other
man In the smoking den had gone
back to the drawing-rooms before he
said: Eyes; I caught the fever along
with the rest of them a few weeks
ago, and I'm already beginning to
wish that l hadn't"

ter of finances. / am an engineer, as
my father was before me. When it
comes to wrestling with the money
devil, I'm outclassed from the start. +"
There are a good many more of US
in the same boat" said Griswold, leav-
ing an opening for further condolences
If Raymer chose to make them. But
the young ironmaster was looking at
his watch, and the condolences were
postponed.
I'm keeping you up, when I dare
say you ought to be in bed" he pro-
tested but Griswold held him long
enough to ask for a suggestion in q
small matter of his own.
Now that he was able to be about,
he was most anxious to relieve Miss
Grierson and her father of the charge
and care of one whose obligation to
them was already more than noun
tain-high; did Raymer happen to know
of some quiet household where the
obligated one could find lodging and a
simple table?
Raymer, taking time to think of 1t,
did know. Mrs. Holcomb, the widow
of his fathers bookkeeper, owned her
own house in Shawnee street. 1t was
not a boarding house. The widow
rented rooms to two of Mr.. Grierson's
bank clerks, and she was looking for
another desirable lodger. Quite pos
sibly she would be willing to board
the extra lodger. Raymer himself
would 90 and see her about it.
at is an exceedingly kind-hearted
community, this home town of yours,
Mr.. Raymer," was the convalescent's
leave-taking, when he shook hands
with the ironmaster at the foot of the
stairs; and that was the thought
which he took to bed with him after
Raymer had gone to make his adieux
to the small person who, in Griswold's
reckoning, owned the kindest of kind
hearts.

Broffin's Equation.

Having Clerk Maurice's telegram to
time the overtaking approach, Broffin
found the Belle Julie backing and fill
ing for her berth at the Vicksburg
landing when, after a hasty Vicksburg
breakfast, he had himself driven to
the river front.
Going aboard as soon as the swing
stage was lowered, he found Maurice,
with whom he had something more
than a speaking acquaintance, just
turning out of his bunk in the texas.
Il took it for granted you'd be
along" was Maurice's greeting. What
bank robber are we running away
with now?"
Broflin grinned.
"I'm still after the one you took on
in the place Of John Gavitt."
"Humph!" said the clerk, sleepily;
81 thought that one was John Gavitt."
mo; he merely took Gavitt's place
and name. Tell me all you know
about him"
Il don't know anything about him,
except that he was fool enough to pull
Buck McGrath out of the river just
after McGrath had tried to bump him
over the bows"
"Of course, so far as you know, no
body on the boat suspected that the
fellow who called himself Gavitt was
anything but the 'roustie he was pass
ing himself off for? You didn't know
Of his having any talk with any of the
upper-deck people?"
"Only once" said the day clerk,
promptly.
when was that?"
ut was one day Just after the man
overheard incident, little while after
dusk in the evening. l was up here
In the texas, getting ready to go to
supper. Gavitt-we may as well keep
on calling him that till you've found
another name for him-Gavitt had
been clubbing for the pilot. saw him
go across the hurricane-deck guards;
and a minute later heard him talking
to somebody "a woman-on the
guards below"
you didn't hear what was said?"
II didn't pay any attention. Pas
sengers, woman passengers. especial
ly. often do that-pull up a 'roustie'
and pry into him TO see what sort of
wheels he has. But / noticed that
they talked for quite a little while;
because, when l finished dressing and
went below, he was Just leaving her."
Broffln rose up from the bunk on
which he had been sitting and laid
heavy hand on Matrices shoulder.
You amt going to tell me that you
didn't find out who the woman was,
Clarence-what?" he said anxiously.
"That's Just what I've got to tell
you, Matt" returned the clerk, reluc-
family. II was due at the second table,
and I didn't go as far forward as the
stanchion she was holding to. All
can tell you is that she was one Of
tho half-dozen or go younger women
we had on board; could guess at
that much"
Broffin's oath was not of anger; Il
was a mere upbubbling of disappoint-
ment.
