"She's down to l63 now, an they're
swamping us with the stock"
"Sell, SELL Keep on selling!' shouted
the old factor, and thereafter, whenever
his broker came to the phone, he sent
him off with cries Of fury, "Sell, sell!'
His deafness was forgotten. With the re-
ceiver pressed to his ear, the desperate
old man tried to depict the scene that was
transpiring on the floor. A dull roaring
came to him, punctuated at times with
the shrieks and howls of the brokers.
The market was drawing to close.
The traders on the floor of the Stock Ex-
change were lashed into frenzy.
A cyclonic blast had swept Wall Street
with the announcement that Gorton was
out of the Penn Railroad. The dummy
president had beaten him. Gorton, in
his rage, had thrown the roads securities
over to the mercy of the wolves.
The laughter of early morning had now
changed to curses which came from pallid
lips and twitching faces. Prices on the
stock market sank lower and lower.
The Street had always denounced Cor
ton, it had reviled his management of the
railroad, the stockholders had grumbled,
the traders had sworn; but now, like chill
dren bereft Of a leader, they flung away all
the stock they had because it was no
longer Gorton's road, because it was no
longer controlled by the strongest man in
Wall Street.
ON the twenty-second floor of the Will
iam-Wall Building, in a large office,
whose three tall, imposing windows over
looked the second largest financial center
of the world sat Il young man talking to
young woman. He was about six and
twenty, and she eighteen. Like the typi-
cal young man of Wall Street, his eyes
were clear and penetrative, his lips smi
ing and his chin strong and firm.
The young girl, from beneath mass of
auburn hair, was gazing up with pair OF

along Broad street in conversation with
the factor
"How's the market?" was Slyde's
stereotyped question.
"Strong and active" said the broker
eagerly, desperate to madness to obtain
the truth Of the story about the Penn
Railroad. But he dared not risk the
chance of rebuff from so powerful man
by an indiscreet inquiry. "They say, Mr.
Slyde, that there's a feeling of uncertainty
about Penn Railroad shares?' He hung
anxiously on the financier's response, try
ing to gage even the blinking of his eye,
the motion of his hand.
penn Railroad shares are a pretty sem
sible thing to buy" said Addison Slyde
shortly. "An eight per cent. stock selling
at $50 is a good investment.
I'D feel highly honored, Mr. Slyde, if
you'd have luncheon with me- said the
broker, his face ablaze with enthusiasm.
a never have luncheon-good day.
ended the financier.
Fifteen minutes later the luncheon
clubs, the floor of the Stock Exchange,
and the news tickers had it that Addison
Slyde the authority on Penn Railroad
stock, was backing Wheeler the dummy
president, in the latters defiance of Cor
ton, and that he was bullish on Penn
shares.
THE aged fnancier, meanwhile, having
done his best to establish a favorable
market for himself, had turned into Wall
Street, and, walking for half block on
the north side of that thoroughfare, he
entered building. He went up to the
seventh floor, and traversed a corridor
that ended in an ell. At the extreme end
of the ell was an office, distinctive in two
respects. 1t was the smallest brokerage
office in Wall Street. 1t was patronized
by only one customer. That customer
was Slyde.
The name on the door was Washington
& Co. Slyde entered quietly A single
room had been cut in half by wooden
partition. The front half had again been
subdivided, and over the window in the
smaller partition wall We're the words,
deliveries and Comparisons. No one
was visible
Slyde noiselessly opened the door that
led into the inner Office. which was just
large enough to contain stock ticker, a
desk, and chair in front of it. The
chair contained the body of young clerk,
and the desk supported his feet. 4 dron-
ing sound seemed to be emanating from
the lips of the lad, who was unaware of the
visitors presence.
Slyde, owing to his infirmity, carried an
ear attachment. and this he put in place
and listened. The boy was humming the
words of Wall Street doggerel:
Oh how can I go the fine ponies to sec.
Oh how can hold big blond on my knee,
With the fifty month that's comm to me?
"Where's Washington snapped the
tinancier
The young clerks feet struck the floor,
and his head literally hit the ceiling
"He's over on the floor, Sir, he replied in
a hushed tone.
SLYDE preempted the chair, grabbed the
telephone in one hand and the ticker
tape in the other. The clerk faded away
into his little cubbyhole of a delivery
Office.
"That you, Washington" demanded
Slyde.
YES" came over the wire.
