Jacob Plutus was big man, and he played
and loved big game. He laughed in way
that showed the bigness of him.
"I'll lend you all the money YOU need,

"I always knew you were a big man."
Eaton burst forth; @but l didn't dream that

For minute the gaunt face softened and
flushed. Then it relapsed into its old set

gruff1y.

more show of emotion than had marked his

not all on one side. When l thought of
what l knew of Jacob Plutus and of what

something in his blood that he could not
analyze,-a vague, unfamiliar sensation
which he failed altogether to trace to its
foundation. He thought continually of
Sybil. There was something new between
them, some quality in her tone when she
spoke to him, something, even, in the frank
way she laughed up into his face, that
baffled him. He thought of their last part
ing, of the letters he had written her There
was nothing that could possibly be misunder-
stood. Yet something had happened.
And all the time there was a background
to his thoughts There was Lucille! The
book he had been reading slipped from his
fingers as he 1ounged in the chair, with his
eyes fixed upon the smoldering fire. He
went over his conversation with Sir James.
One by one those sentences came back to his
mind, so ponderously delivered, so weighty,
so charged with an insstent, minatory mean
ing. Lucille's face as he had seen her asleep
the previous evening haunted him. Some
where in one of the smaller galleries of Flor
ence he had seen a picture of an Italian
woman, a victim of the Inquisition, lying in
her cell, fresh from the torture chamber,
dreaming of the last night of terror. The
memory came back to him. There was the
same expression as he had seen in the curve
of Lucille's ips,-a woman in hell! He
moved restlessly in his place and, springing
up, began to walk up and down the room. 1t
was absurd, he told himself. His relations
with these two women had been carefully
thought out, with due regard to all the cir
cumstances, with due regard to everything
he owed them. Lucille was paying the price
of her own wickedness and deceit. Never

TERMYN rejoined his wife, paid the visit
~ with her that she had suggested, and
afterward wandered restlessly back to his
club. Lucille was dining out alone that
night: the date of his return from Scotland
had been uncertain, and she had accepted no
invitations for him during the week. He
entered the house just as she was leaving.
She paused for moment in the hail. a gilt

He dined in the library, trifled with some
new books, glanced through the reviews and

realized that Henry Eaton was as good as
ruined, and the all l-powerful hand of Jacob
Plutus was against him.
TT was just before noon that Henry Eaton
walked through Wall Street, without
hurry and without uncertainty; yet he was
bent upon the strangest and most dramatic
coup that the mysterious ways OF that 1nSt1-
tuition had ever known Those who had some
inkling of the real situation were amazed.
The others smiled cynically over the futility
of Eaton's making an appeal to Plutus.
l saw him go, and l tried to measure up
the strength of each man; for, beyond all
apprehension, the love of the hazard of sport
was inborn with me. knew that it was to
be mighty contest, and above all could
hear myself ask the question, Which wins!
Afterward Jacob Plutus confessed to me
that it was the greatest surprise of his life
when Eaton walked into his office. Eaton
told me that if Plutus was in the least taken
aback by his call he did not show it. He
was seated in swivel chair at his desk, and
beside him was window through which
full light fell upon him. He could see every
line of his face. 1t was of stone, hard and
expressionless. There is little difference be-
tween the national game with its cards and
chips and that which is played in Wall
Street. Eaton was no less self contained
than his adversary He had the calm of the
professional gambler, whose pride it is never
to show emotion when he plays for his high
est stake. He wasted few words.
@Mr. Plutus," he said, Il have come to
ask you to lend me million dollars and to
announce the fact. For reasons of your own
you have determined to ruin me. You have
me in a place where 1 am helpless. Within
few hours you can take from me every
penny have and leave me overwhelmed
with debts. You have done your work well. :"
He paused an instant, and then continued
3But if you drag me down, there will be a
panic in Wall Street. In the smash will go
not only my properties, but those of a dozen
others. You 7riH ruin not only me, but a score

Street, who examined them quietly. Then,

HUNGER AND THIRST

WHILE many men of science have con-
w tended that the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that of
thirst in the throat, the Italian Valenti
holds the view that the seat of both sensa-
tions is situated in the gullet He found
that a cocaine injection in the esophagus
(the channel from the mouth to the stom-
ach) resulted in immediate suppression of
the sensations of both hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the chew
ing of coca leaves renders the gullet insensi-
tive and destroys any desire for food or drink.

 BIG PACKING HOUSE

More than 100,00O,O0 pounds of dress ed beef, which it was rumored, was destined for the armies of the allies, will probably be spoiled and it is roughly estimated that the damage to the building and contents may range from $5O0,O0O to $75O,OO0.
 Oliver Bennett, an employe in full charge of maintaining uniform re- frigerator temperature, and Patrick Lyons, company fireman, were blown fifty feet and would have been killed had they not been dragged from the wreckage by Thomas Fox, chief of the company's fire department. Al though terribly burned, both will rrob- ably recover.
