few perfunctory words that he would
not be home that night. In the baize-
lined room the green-shaded electric lamp
burned till dawn.
Linton-os ostensibly the &C.,, in reality
kind of responsible foreman-was ad-
mitted to share his partners midnight
cOunsels.
at amt the Roanoke people," re-
marked Pennrhyn, savagely biting in two
the remains of an unlit cigar. "They' re
just set of spineless country millionaires
who think more about horse-breeding
than railroading, anyhow-no, don't see
their thumb-print in this hitch we've
struck, somehow But if you ask me"
"Who?"
"Grausteins."
Linton took in his breath with kissing
sound and surly nod of acquiescence.
The Grausteins were family of Penn
sylvania copper magnates who the year
before had fought Pennrhyn to a finish
for tract of mining property on the
shores of Lake Michigan. In the end
the duel had suddenly ended in defeat
for the Grausteins-a humiliating, costly
disaster. Pennrhyn, on the other hand,
had gloried openly over his triumph. And
the Grausteins bided the hour of their
revenge. Had it come?
Hast thou found me- o mine enemy?
From some unused fiber of his brain
the terrible words came thrilling into
Pennrhyn's consciousness. AS matter
of fact, this unaccountable defense that
Evening star., 1916-08-13

he had encountered, as dogged and as
fierce as his own assault, could be ex-
planned only as the work of some enemy.
Enemies? He had dozens of them, men
whose pride and whose purses he had
gouged, and who were ceaselessly prowling
on the outlook for their revenge. If it were
not for the hand of Grausteins behind the
unexpected, unexplainable opposition that
his Roanoke Central deal had suddenly
encountered, then it was the deliberate
work of some other enemy, as powerful
and as ruthless as they.
"I'll show them." repeated Black Jack
between his teeth.
ALL the metaphors of battle reach their
climax in the assault which, ON the
following morning, had been dashed
against the fated railway system. Not
only Roanoke stock itself, but the copper
holdings in the territory it served, had
been flung in wholesale blocks into the
ruthless melee of the conflict. For con-
bility, it had suddenly become.
Pennrhyn, the hidden brains and nerve
center of the attacking forces, found
himself suddenly expending his savage
aggression against a defense as highly or
ganized, as stubborn, and as secret as his
own. AS fast as his blocks of stock were
thrown out into the various markets Of
America, they were bought up at their
offered price and slid into security. At
the end of the financial day Pennrhyn sat
with tagging limbs and lolling tongue, like
used-up prize-fghter. His black eyes
Evening star., 1916-08-13

that the Pennsylvania had lately been
casting eyes of regard on the Roanoke
Central system.
With Pennrhyn, to think was to act.
Within two weeks, acting through dunn
mics, he had taken options on the copper
property, acquired controlling interest
in Roanoke Central, and sold it to the
Pennsylvania Company at figure based
on selling price of 81. Delivery was to
be made on May 20. And from the 18th
of May to the 18th the day on which we
now behold Pennrhyn seated at his desk
he had been engaged in battering on
the stock downward from so, the price
where, barring trifling fluctuations, it had
hung for the past six months.
The assault had been like that of SUBJ
marine-as masked as it was furious. In
every stock exchange in the United States,
blocks of Roanoke Central stock had been
flung simultaneously upon the market,
bought up by Pennrhyns agents. flung
on the market again, bought up, flung out
again, in ever increasing quantities;
while Pennrhyn, alone and unseen in the
baize-lined room that served him as
conning-tower, directed the operations
with long tried skill and murderous
audacity.
IN spite of the secrecy in which he had
covered up all tracks that might con-
meet him with the business Black Jacks
bludgeon-like methods We're too spec
tacularly original to go unsuspected.
Every day. in order to down the swelling
rumors, Pennrhyn, reeking with the sweat
of the battle, emerged from his lair; and
twenty breathless minutes later, his hulk
ing form clad in immaculate spring raj
ment, with an unlit cigar between his
teeth and battling, defiant smile lighting
his deep-set eyes, he would stroll in at the
Stock Exchange for an hour. Echoes of
the battle-excited buying and selling,
breathless discussion, suspicious glances-
surrounded him on every side. When
he returned to his thronged, sumptuous
offices. he was aware that he was being
shadowed. His black cords of eyebrow
knotted in the middle, and his breath
came quick, as after the New London
race long ago. So they were trying to run
him to earth? He'd show them!
But nevertheless, to his suffocating sur
prise and black rage, the difficulty of
showing them proved suddenly increas-
ingly difficult. In the early afternoon
hours of the fifth day Roanoke Central
which had been sliding down the scale as
surely and trippingly as grand opera
star, suddenly halted at 67 and stuck
there.
That evening the 60-horse-power car
waiting for Pennrhyn in the street twenty
five stories below was sent back to the
garage for the night; while the owner,
calling up Greenwood Lake on the long
distance wire, informed Mrs. Pennrhyn in
Evening star., 1916-08-13

ueSh--OT TaUueT before zeal
~ table with dictaphone to the
right, a telephone to the left, and ticker
in the middle Otherwise furniture there
was none, excepting the caned swivel
chair in which the millionaire sat, and the
double thickness of heavy green baize
that covered walls, doors. and floor.
On the other side of the sound-proof
door was the private Office with his name
on the door, with the antique Mir rugs,
the old Flemish paintings, and the carved
cinque-cento table where two secretaries
sat attending to the other ends of the
two instruments before him. Every two
hours the two confidential attendants
were changed, like the watches on a ship;
for Pennrhyn's pace, when he started in,
was a lightning one, and he was merciless
of errors.
His nickname had been given him on
the day when he had stroked winning
crew in the waters of New London. At
the end of grueling race, his black bullet
head and blue jowl had alone remained
upright, among the colapsing forms of
his exhausted mates. Black Jack he had
been dubbed; and Black Jack, after
nearly twenty years on the Street, he still
remained. In this interval he had con-
trived to increase his cash capital by
about 100000 per cent.-that is, from
the fifty dollars that the old Vermont
farmer, his father, had bestowed on him
the day he took his degree from Harvard,
to the fortune that was variously esti-
mated by friends and enemies, but that
was never placed below ten million dollars.
AS for the methods by which he had
grabbed so notable an amount of its
treasure from an unwilling world, perhaps
his nickname may best explain their ma
ture. In point of ruthlessness and pre-
cision he had nothing to learn from the
buccaneers of the old days; and when his
pirate flag was deserted Tapping in the
offing of deal, the lesser craft scuttled
to shelter and the other full-sized sea
robbers mounted their big guns.
OUCH a moment was this present; and,
like chief of staff in his secret bomb
proof cellar, Pennrhyn sat alone in his
baize-waled den and across the tenuous
thread of an electrolized wire turned his
siege guns against Roanoke Central.
The Roanoke Central was a little noun
tain railway which, for the first time in its
thirty years of existence, had become
interesting and important. Through pr-
vate sources of information the ever rest
less Pennrhyn had assured himself that
the long neglected copper workings in the
Roanoke Central territory might at the
present war prices for the metal, be re-
opened and worked at tempting profit.
A swift investigation carried on along
the same noiseless lines verified the report
