CHAPTER TX.
When Greek Meets Greek.

Smith allowed himself ten brief sec
onds for swift eye-measuring of the
square-shouldered stoclzily buiig man
with gray face and stubbly mustache
sitting in the chair of authority at the
Brewster City National before he chose
his line of attack.
1--WE are not going to cut very deeply
into your time this morning, Mr.. Kin
zie," he began when the eye-appraisal
had given him his cue. 'You know the
history of Timanyoni Ditch up to the
present, and-well, to cut out the de-
tails, there is to be a complete reor-
ganiZation of the company on a new
basis, and we are here to offer to take
your personal allotment of the stock
off your hands at par for cash. Colonel
Baldwin has stipulated that his friends
in the original deal must be protected,
and"
Here, here-hold on" interrupted
the bank president; you're hitting it
up a little bit too fast for me, Mr.
Smith. Who are you, and whereabouts
do you hold forth when you are at
homer"
Smith laughed easily. "If we were
trying to borrow money of you. we
might have to go into preliminaries
and particulars, Mr.. Kinzie We are
not alone In the fight for the water
rights on the other side Of the river,
as you know, and until we are safely
fortified we shall have to be prudently
cautious. What we want to know now
is this: VIII you let US protect you by
taking your Timanyoni Ditch stock at
parP' --- o. ~.

day and put million dollars behint
our reorganization plan in twenty-fou'
hours. You'd say so yourself if l were
ut liberty to explain. But again we're
lodging and wasting your time an(
ours. Think the matter over-abou
your stock-and let me know before
noon. It's rather cruel to hurry yoI
so, but time is precious with us and
"You sit right down there, younj
man, and put little of this precious
time of yours against mine" said Kin
zie, pointing authoritatively at thu
chair which Smith had just vacated
you mustn't 90 off at half-cocl, tina
way. You'll need bank here to de-
business with, won't you?"
Smith did not sit down. Instead. h,
smiled genially and fired his final shot
''No, Mr.. Kinzie; we shan't need &
local bank-not as a matter of abso
lutte necessity. In fact, on some &c
counts l don't know but that it woulC
be better for us not to have one"
"Sit down" insisted the bank presi
dent; and this time he would take M
denial. Then he turned abruptly upor
Baldwin, who had been playing hii
part of the silent listener letter-per
feet.
Baldwin, we are old friends, and I'd
trust you to the linton any PROPOSE.
ton that doesn't ask for more than
the straight-from-the-s honesty
How much is this young friend of ours
talking through his HAITI"
mot any, whatever, Dave. He's go'
the goods" Baldwin was wise enough
to limit himself carefully as to guam
tity in his reply.
Again the banker made a c0micaI
bristle brush OF his cropped mustache
Il want your business, Dexter; I've
got to have it. But I'm going to b.
plain with you. You two are asking
me to believe that you've gone outside
and dug up a new bunch of hackers
That may be all right, but Tlmanyon
Ditch has struck pretty big bone tina
maybe your new hackers know about
and maybe they don't. You've had &
lot Of bad lnck, so far; getting y0ul
land titles cleared. and all that; AND
you're going TO have more. I've"

You followed?" queried Stanton.

''You followed?" queried Stanton.
"Yes, and when I got there the
colonel was shut up in Williams of
flee with fellow named Smith. When
/ got place to listen in they were
getting ready to quit, and the colonel
was saying: That settles it, Smith /;
you've got to come over into'-I didn't
catch the name of the place-'and help
u.s."
Again the gentleman with the sharp
jaw took time for narrow-eyed reflec-
kion.
"Youm nave to switch over from the
colonel to this fellow Smith for the
present, Shaw" he decided, at length.
you look him up and do it quick
The young man glanced up with a
faint warming of avarice in his sleepy
eyes. It'll most likely run into money
for expenses" he suggested.
For graft, you mean" snapped
Stanton. Then he had it out with this
second subordinate in crisp English.
F'Im onto you with both feet, Shaw
every crook and turn of you. More
than that, know why you were fired
out of MaxwelIs office; you've got
sticky fingers. That's all right with
me up to a certain point, but beyond
that point you get off. Understand?
Shaw mede no answer in direct
terms, but if his employer had been
watching the heavy-lidded eyes, he
might have seen in them the shadow
of thing much more dangerous than
plain dishonesty: a passing shadow of
the fear that makes for treachery
when the sharp need for self-protec-
ton arises.
"I'll try to find out about the hobo"
he said, with fair enough lip-loyalty,
and after he had rolled a fresh ciga-
rette he went away to begin the min
ing operations which might promise
TO unearth Smiths record.
1t was ten o'clock when Shaw left
the real-estate Office in the Hophra
House block. Half an hour earlier
Smith had come to town with the
colonel in the roadster, and the two
had shut themselves up in the
cOlonel's private room in the Timan-
yoni Ditch company's town office in
the Barker building, which was two
squares down the street from the Ho-
phra house. Summoned promptly,
Martin, the bookkeeper. had brought

MOST DEADLY AERIAL BOMB
Will Explode Six Feet Above Ground
No Matter From What Height
1t May Be Dropped.

An aerial bomb which explodes
about six feet above the ground, re-
CARELESS of the he,ght from which II
is dropped, has been tested out by the
ordnance department, and probably
viii be manufactured in large numbers.
The novel feature Of the bomb,
which is described in Popular Science,
Monthly, is that it expl0des before II
hits the ground, whether it is dropped
from a height Of 1900 or 10000 feet.
The difficulty with bombs used is that
they have been fired by contact with
the ground, burying themselves in the
earth before exploding. Thus 80 per
cent of the force Of bomb dropped
on ordinary ground IS expended against
earth instead of scattering its fTag-
meIts over wide area above ground.
Inventors have been aware of this de-
ficiency of the pear-shaped bomb for a
long time. The idea uppermost in their
minds has been to develop bomb thar
would explode head high and whose
bursting fragments would cover wide
circle before reaching the ground. So
far as is knowa. 40 foreign country
has such a bomb in its possession.
The bomb which comes closest TO
realizing the maximum of efficiency as
the ordnance department interprets
that term. is this bomb, devised by
Mr.. Barlow.

guess I'll take chance on things as
they stand. NFll keep my stock"
The new secretary's smile was rather
patronizing than grateful.
"As you please, Mr.. Kinzie, OF
course" he said smoothly. "But I'm
going to tell you frankly that you'll
keep 1t at your own risk. / am moi
sure what plan will be adopted. but
assume it will be amortization and a
retirement of the stock of the original
company. The voting control of the
old stock we already have, as you
know"
The banker pursed his lips until the
stubbly gray mustache stood on!
stif1ly. Then he cut straight to the
heart of the matter.
'Yeu mean that there will be a ma.
iority pool of the old stock, and tina,
the pool will ignore those stockholders
who don't come in?"
Something like that" said Smith
pleasantly. And then: "We're going
to be generously liberal, Mr.. Kinzie
we are giving Colonel Baldwint
friends a fair chance to come in out
of the wet. OF course, if they refuse
to come inf they prefer to stay
out"
Kinzie was smiling sourly.
You'll have to take care of yom
own banker, won't you, Mr.. Smith?" he
asked. "Why don't you loosen up and
tell a little more? What have you
fellows got up your sleeve. anyway
At this, the new financial manager
Stacked off on the hawser of secrecy
little-just little.
"Ar. Kinzie, we've got the biggesl
thing, and the surest, that ever came
to Timanyoni Park; not in futures
mind you, but in facts already as goo(
as accomplished. If it were necessary

these mutual aid and benefit fea-
lures are not peculiar to the Centre

the other centres" have practically
the same features. OF all of them, the
Centre Gallego" is the largest and

$4,000, an annual income of over ST.

The second largest is the "Centro AS

tingent that is also represented on
the governing board. 1t has one of
>the handsomest buildings in Havana

have n clubhouse in addition to the
sanitarium.
In addition to the centres" Havana
has n large number of other clubs that
differ in no material respect from the
typical social, athletic and political
clubs of other large cities. For the
sake of convenience these may be di-
vided into city and country clubs.
Among the former the foreign clubs
occupy an important position, and Of
these the Spanish Casino is the ldrg-
est; second comes the American club,
founded in 1902, which has steadily
grown in membership until it has
something over 300. 1t occupies
well-uppointed building on the Prado.

YES! LIFT A CORN
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN! !
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up corn or caIius so it lifts
 otf with fingers.

You corn.pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because q few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore, ness at once and soon the corn o1 hardened callus looscns so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone cost very little at any drug store, but will posi- lively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried as it is inexpensive and is said not tc irritate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It if fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.
