lshness impaired by these sudden profits,
there could still be no doubt of his ingenu-
BUSINESS. He didn't embarrass the men
who had advised him--he didn't claim
any especial merit for catching his fish.
That was the beautiful, appealing feature
of it-he hadn't ceased to believe in the
sovereignty of luck. And, even in COM
munity where financial modesty is one of
the last virtues to flourish, he never as
sumed or imagined that he was clever.
But the possession of resources had its
effect upon him, nevertheless. When he
played golf in these days, he tipped his
faithful caddie quarter instead of fifteen
Helen Haynes he held her hand a full
second longer than the conventional. The
arrogance of the rich!
lie had set his heart upon a quarter
million. That, together with his salary
downtown, he thought might do for a
man of thirty or under. At least, they
could struggle along with it. He had
heard that one doesn't need to fear mat
rimony until after the third year of it;
and he hoped that three years would put
him beyond the necessity of living on a
bread-and-cheese income-in the mean
time, they might struggle along, provided
the bread were of the best grade obtain
able and the cheese were imported.
And so when he was hardly more than
twenty-eight, when he was utterly un-
conscious of anything remarkable in his
accomplishments was so young that
he rather expected nice things to fall into
l. 1o,> k,, el 81
he was entirely unapprecative of the fact
that six per cent on his original invest
ment was all that he had right or reason
to anticipate, he went into Coppers. He
went into it with both feet, which is to
say that he wrote an initial check for
fifty thousand. He needed ninety to
complete his quota. And that night, up
at the Haynes house, he told Helen that
he was tottering on the very threshold of
triumph.
"Oh, that's rice!" she said what is it
this time?'
Ewing shook his head.
cts too big to talk about. You see
I've got some absolutely confidential in
formation, and | can't afford to have
it leak out. Everybody in Kenilworth
would try to get in on it, and then
nothing would happen. That's the way
those things work. But if l have any
luck"
The next morning Coppers were up an
eighth, and Ewing wrote another check.
"The markets steady, isn't it?" he
asked Tanning.
STEADY" said Tanning. "It's aseep!'
But Coppers advanced a quarter and
Ewing wrote third check. Rumors of
general bear movement were common;
but Coppers fought up another eighth,
and Ewing bought seventeen hundred and
eight shares on the usual margin. That
left him sixty dollars in the bank-he
could have carried six more shares, of
course, but he was always conservative.
He realized how important it is to carry
balance in the bank.
1t must have interested him to note
how he had come to pose as mascot
People-some of them-actually cred
tied him with the inside knowledge he
was so fond of talking about. He could
almost have charged commission for

it to anybody"
For once, he had cast aside his old prin-
ciple of taking profit as soon as it was
apparent. He needed five-polnt gain;
five little points stood between him and
the summit of his ambitions. His in
formation was excellent; the pool was in
cidental bat it ought to help him. The
break was due in not more than ten days,
two weeks at the latest and after that
1t was during those two weeks that
Ewing neglected his Office duties for
the first and only time in his career. He
spent them in motoring around kenil-
worth with real-estate agent, and gath
ering together references and credentials
of the leading architects in New York and
vicinity. One of the architects, who had
friends in kenilworth, said that Ewing
was the most innocent client he had ever
dreamed of. He had inquired whether it
would be ethical to hold a competition
for a house that couldn't possibly cost
more than twenty-five or thirty thousand
dollars, including the plumbing.
And when Coppers advanced two
points, and then two more, Ewing stopped
looking at plots of limited extent, and
began to consider the desirability of eX-
pert landscaping You see, if the pool
really got behind Coppers, and showed as
hard as they knew how, the movement
might not peter out so soon-and Ewing
might have half million.
Of course, every one knew that some
violent activity in the market might be
looked for; else why did MIR. Haynes,
who had practically retired from the
Street, begin to take the 1856 to town
every morning, and stay in late at night?
And why did all the others complain so
bitterly if breakfast weren't ready at
least half an hour earlier than it had ever
been ready before? Ewing was the only
placid tinancier in Kenilworth-and he
had more at stake than all the Others put
together.
Why, on the day of the Copper panic,
when the Exchange was solid mass of
raving, disheveled maniacs, Ewing was
poking around the hills with his real-estate
man, no more concerned about his quarter
million, or his half, than if he had inher-
tied it overnight, and had utilized every
cent of it in those ridculously unproduc-
tive government bonds-as if any one
ever became rich and married an angel on
three per cent!
EWING got back to the Inn at four
o'clock, sunburnt and happy. Under
the door of his room he found at least
twenty kilograms and telephone slips
from his brokers; and, without waiting
to read them through, he jerked the re-
cever from the hook and called New
York. His face was radiant; it was the
face of man in that rare and exquisite
moment when success is certain and
prodigious, and yet when the last word
of verification is still to be uttered. And
after he got the brokers on the wire, and
talked with them two or three hectic
minutes, he went to the window and
stared out over the hills of Kenilworth as
if he had never noticed them before.
Then, because his youth hadn't quit him
without reserve, he changed perfectly
adequate tie for one almost exactly like
it, and went up to tell Helen.
"Why, Thaxter' she cried. al haven't
seen you for weeks!"
"No,' he said unsteadily; "I've been
pretty busy lately

versely, and then to take it fighting.
"ThaXter!" she said, with sharp intake
of her breath. .
He gestured, palms upward, toward the
sky.
"All gone!'
He turned aside, and then, because he
retained boys horror of appearing the
atrical or stricken in defeat, he returned
to meet her eyes.
"The whole thing he said "They-
they just managed to catch it. If | hadn't
been lucky, I'd be hit harder still--the
market broke four or five points more
afterwards. When it's all cleared up,
commissions and interest and all, ! may
have hundred dollars coming to me-not
much more than that anyway. | thought
I'd better come up and tell you before any
body else told you"
"All gone!" she whispered duly.
ooh, it's all part of the game
"But-nOW-"
"Now?" he said "Why-nothing.
"lsn't there-couldnt there be "a
mistake?"
Hardly" he said, with sudden husk-
ness. "l just came up to tell you. 1t was
beautiful dream while it lasted"
"Tsn't any of the-dream left, either?'
"How could there be? I've made such
fool of myself! Your father and Hen
derson and lots of the fellows said |
should, and hare. No; and because it
isn't likely that We'll see so very much of
each other for while"

Family, as if from great distance, she
heard herself saying: But are you sure
you knOp where you stand?"
The blood sank from his cheeks.
"Helen!" he said thickly. "You don't
understand"
"Y-yes, | dot
"But it's been a year-and I'm in en-
actly the same place
"But if didn't mind then-do you sup

Through the murk of his slaughtered
hopes he caught at the incredible, dazzling
truth.
"Why, Helen!" he stammered. "Would
it have been-any use to ask YOU ben?"
DiSoViliess, sic uOuueu. EWlnS, HIS
eyes very wide, came step closer to her.
"And you know how poor | am? And
we'd have TOTO live on what | have?
Nothing but my salary-and- one
little thousand dollars put away for in
cdentals? You know that?'
Again she nodded. Ewing held out his
arms.
"Oh, my dear!" he said brokenly. "lf
I'd only known"
SHORTLY before dinner time Mr..
Haynes, who had five or fifteen or fifty
millions, I've forgotten which, tore up to
the entrance portico of his four hundred
thousand dollar estate in twelve thou
sand dollar English tourng-car, and dis
missed chauffeur who got forty dollars
a week.
In the hallway he was met by two rap
turous young people who weren't thinking
OF currency.

side. There's life in the old dog yet. We

The designations Of the Austrian
ministers Of finance, commerce and
interior, following the kaiser's visit
to Vienna, point almost conclusively
to internal differences having made
necessary the meeting of the two en-
perors.
The minister of finance is the man
ager of the monetary situation in
Austria; the minister of commerce is
charged with the direction of the
country's economic condition, and the
minister of the interior is the chief
official responsible for the control Of
war prices, the regulation of food
supplies and the suppression of dis
orders. These are the subjects con-
corning which disquieting rumors
constantly are coming fom Vienna.

It is altogether probable, therefore,
that the domestic situation in AUS
tria is very threatening. Not other
wise would the kaiser have inter-
fered-as it seems he has done

three Austrian cabinet positions have
probably been selected by the German
government cor at least they will be
amenable to the direction from Ber-
lin.
The Germans long ago took from
Vienna the supreme direction of the
war and Austro-Hungarian victories
began to date from that time. It now
appears as, if the, Germans were also
to assume responsibility for, the in
ternal, government of the dual mon
archy. ...,- ;. - r. +,

Probably the economic financial
and foodsproblems of the central pow

German views prevailing on all i'm
portant points. This effort to sup

but only in limited measure. The
Germans can spare nothing from what
they themselves possess They can
prevent waste in Austria through
better organization and they can
make fair distribution, of the new
