CALDWELL'S THEORY
BY Harold Carter
=
q tell you" insisted Caldwell at
the club, there isn't a man in bust
ness or professional life who can't be
blackmailed if he's approached the
right way. Every one has done some
thing which he prays will never come
to light"
q repeat that I don't believe you"
retoTted Simpson. Human nature
is better than you imagine. Now
take Clay. Do you suppose anybody
could blaCkmaiI Clay?"
What, the multimillionaire? in
qUired Caldwell How do you sup
pose he got his millions? How did
he come to command the money
market? Of course he could be
blackmailed It may be he cheated
a partner once or he may simply
have stolen a purse from his land
lady. He had to get his start, didn't
be?"
Saved it, said Simpson.
BAH retOrted Caldwell.
Did you ever hear the story of the
Joker who sent a wire to the bishop,
Fly at once. All is discovered'?"
asked Caldwell warming to his sub
iect. Bishop disappeared. And
that's a fact"
well, why don't you get $4,000 |
out of Clay?" asked Simpson caus-
tically.
Ten thousand?" retorted CaId- |
well with a whitening look. Fifty |
thousand. Yes, I'll do it.
A bet was made, and four days |
later James Clay, magnate of Wall |
street, sat with pursed brows reading
a letter which had come to his pri- /
vate residence and was marked |
Strictly Personal"

sters
in little niche between two houses
on a certain street, at a late hour the
following night. If Clay played false
fearful things would happen to him,
said the writer.
Caldwell, slking quietly past the
niche on the evening appointed,
found nothing there. Simpson, who
had followed him on the opposite
side of the road, rallied him severely.
