"Yes, Nellie, am" moodily replied
the president.
There were tears in the soft voice that
exclaimed, "Oh, Eddie, have things be-

leaning toward her. and speaking softly,
"it seems no more than right that when l

We two shall go abroad together"
Softly as he had spoken, however, his
last words were overheard by third per-
son who had hastily entered the office.
1t was old Addison Slyde who was in
great perturbation. The words of the
president, which he had overheard, dis
turbed him beyond measure.
"Eh?' he gasped. "Going abroad

SCREEN could indistinctly see the figure of
ii. b. Gorton seated in his private office.
The banker was considering the fotation
of a new industrial enterprise. He in
tended to unite six concerns valued at
S2OO, 100000, into one large corporation,
to be capitalized at $5OOOOO,OOO. This
was Gorton's characteristic system of fl
nance. Once in while it succeeded bril-
lianty.
One of the bankers partners entered
softly and spoke to him.
"What?" growled Gorton What i'm
pudence! Show him the way out"
The partner left the office with smile
but returned moment later and again
whispered.
Run him out!' said Gorton more mo-
rosely than ever. "What? He says it's
legal requirement? Well, if have to see
him" he added resignedly.
Wheeler, president of the Penn Rail-
road, appeared through the doorway.
"How are you, Mr.. Gorton?" he said
briskly.
The banker assumed forbidding ex-
preston and gave no sign of recognition.
81 understand that you refuse to lend
my railroad the $35, 600, 600 that falls due

"The Penn Company will be placed in

Wheeler, "that | and my board have de-
cided to abrogate the traffic contract be-
tween the Penn Railroad and the Great
Eastern. Your road gets 65% of the rate,
and we only 359o. It's not equitable"
The bankers face crimsoned with a
rush of angry blood; but he still controlled
himself.

view of connecting our line with the

retired from the office.

He passed his hand over his head several

1t was not long before that eminent pa
triarch, Schaefer, the international au-
thority on money values, appeared in
Gortons Office.
"What are you trying to do to me,
Schaefer?" demanded Gorton. "Are YOU
trying to steal my railroad?"
The money expert lifted his hand dep
recatingly. "Mr. Gorton, | steal moth

is the greatest of all properties. l keep
my capital liquid.

the banker grimly.

Gorton.
"If you object to that" insinuated the
money expert, "then let us, both together,

gloomily. "It's the only way out for me.

"He has the right deas-he has a young

"Schaefer, cried Gorton, shaking his
fist, II really believe you're acting as ar
bitrator for that rascal. He told me

each of us off against the other, to have
his own way!"
The two men stared at each other, and
then a chuckle was emitted from Schae-

"Lets help the boy out. MIR. Gorton,

angrily.
"Hs youth, his enthusiasm" said
Schaefer softly.

velvet-like footballs across the soft green
carpet, look of palpable concern upon
his face
"Gentlemen to see you, Mr.. Wheeler"
ventured the attendant in an insinuating
voice, as he laid handful of cards upon
the flat-topped desk.
The president looked up with an air of
startled displeasure. He cast passing
glance at the cards of the visitors, then
elevated his eyebrows and emitted short
whistle.

in. That will do, Miss Evans, for the
present"

THE young president rose as his visi-
tors entered, and greeted them with
pleasant SMILE
But the three men of finance who seated
themselves beside his desk wore grave and
portentous faces.
"Mr. Wheeler" began Worthy i'm

"Oh, that is true, replied the presi-
dent but with an air of evident uncon-

ties of the bankers.
"Those bonds must be met resumed
the speaker severely. "We appear before
you as a protective committee appointed
by the bondholders, who are gravely con-
cerned over the unfortunate situation in
which this property at present finds it.

"The credit of this company is high
and its financial resources extensive" be-
gan the president; but he was again in
terrupted by the other.
II differ with you," said Worthy.
"Owing to your management, the credit
of the corporation is at present low, de-
plorably low"
The president opened his lips to defend
himself from the aspersion cast upon his
management; but the speaker refused to
be silent
1--WE have been notified" continued the
banker "by H. B. Gorton & Co., hereto
fore fiscal agents of the Penn Company,
that they have severed all financial con-
nections with the property, and will not
advance the money to pay either the prin-
cipal or the interest of this issue"
"In your place, responded Wheeler
easily, 81 wouldn't give myself any con-
cern about the bonds. Wednesdays not
yet arrived.
Shott and Smathers couldn't contain
themselves any longer, however. Almost
simultaneously they said "Mr. Wheeler,
do you realize that default in these bonds
means a receivership?"
Worthy, however. took up the word
again. "I think that we have attended to
the necessary formality,' he observed,
and turning he spoke to the president in
severe tone. 81 wish you distinctly to

PIMA HAS MURDER
 MYSTERY
Body of Mrs.. Leah. Kerby, Wife of Frank Kerby, Has, Just Been Found

body of Mrs. Leah Kcrby, wife of Frank Kerby, Taa tC nd 1T the Pat teTrcn G!ech. Ues, of Pima, which T!ns 1ea~ her home situa. .ed north Of the Anderson ranch, where she lived with her scn. George.
 T Ie w0man was de"d and the body had been n the water for several hours. Tha tOI. vas removed to IT E.erby rome, where several wo- men nejghb5rs b"gen to prepare it .oT burial. when they discovered a fearful wound i2 70 left shoulder, caused by shot from a shotgun fired from close quarters.
 Death must have been instantan- eous. The murdere dragged the ! body to the ditch and threw it into the water, where il was found later by searching party.
 George Kerby, w2o had been working in the field north of his home, returned home about dark, and not finding his mother there, he went on to Pima. He returned home from Pima and finding his mother still absent, he went to his fathers place and told him that his mother was missing and that he had been unable to find her.
 The father, Frank Kerby, and sev- eral neighbors, accompanied George back to his home, from which place he began a systematic search. Final | ly the body was found in the Patter- son ditch near Mack's ranch, by MT. Kerby and Sam Lines.
 It was at first thought that the
 woman had fell in the ditch and
 drowned. That a murder had been
 committed was not discovered until the women at the house began fto prepare the body for burial, when the gunshot wound in the left shoul- | der was disclosed.
