hours. You'd say so yourself if were
at liberty to explain. But again we're
lodging and wasting your time and
ours. Think the matter over-about
your stOck-and let me know before
noon. It's rather cruel to hurry you
so, but time is precious with us and"
"You sit right down there, young
man, and put a little of this precious
time of yours against mine" said Kin
Zie, pointing authoritatively at the
chair which Smith had just vacated.
you mustn't go off at half-cock, that
way. You'll need bank here to do
business with, won't your?
Smith did not sit down. Instead. he
smiled genially and fired his final shot.
"NO, Mr.. Kinzie; we shan't need a
local bank-not as a matter of absO-
lutte necessity. In fact, on some ac-
counts 1 don't know but that it would
be better for us not to have one"
"Sit down." insisted the bank presi-
dent; and this time he would take no
denial. Then he turned abruptly upon
Baldwin, who had been playing his
part of the silent listener letter-per-
feet.
Baldwin, we are old friends, sad 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 hat?"
"Not any, whatever, Dave. He's got
the goods" Baldwin was wise enough
to limit himself carefully as to guam
tity in his reply.
Again the banker made comical
bristle brush of his cropped mustache.
81 want your business, Dexter; I've
got to have it. But I'm going to be
plain with you. You two are asking
me to believe that you've gone outside

CHAPTER TX.
When Greek Meets Greek.

Smith allowed himself ten brief sec
Onds for a swift eye-measuring of the
square-shouldered stOcllily built man
with a gray face and stubbly mustache
sitting in the chair Of authority at the
Brewster City National before he chose
his line Of attack.
eve 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-
ganizatiOn of the company on 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 1t
up 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

CHAPTER VIiI.-Continued.
You folIowed?" aueried Stanton.

"You followedT queried Stanton.
"Yes, and when I got there the
colonel was shut up in Williams Of
Nee with fellow named Smith. When
u 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 refec-
ton.
"You'l nuve to switch over from the
colonel to this fellow Smith for the
present, Shaw" he decided, at length.
''You look him up and do 1t 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.
Sim onto you with both feet, Shaw |;
every crook and turn of you. More
than that, know why you were fired
out of Maxwell's office; you've got
sticky fingers. That's all right with
41ne up to a certain point, but beyond
that point you get off. Understand"
Shaw made 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: passing shadow of
the fear that makes for treachery
when the sharp need for self-protec-
don arises.
''T'll try to find out about the hobo"
he said, with fair enough lip-loyalty,
and after he had rolled 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
cOloneps private room in the Timan-
y0ni Ditch COmpany's town Office in
the Barker building, which was two
squares down the street from the Ho-
phra house. Summoned promptly,

WAS BEYOND THE ADVOCATE
Counsel Could Think Of No Possible
Reason Why Judge Should Be
on the Bench.

1t was one of those tense moments
n crowded court when the prisoners
tate seemed to depend on the next an
iwer of the witness. There was an
sXpectant hush on all present, when
suddenly the opposing counsel butted
n with noisy objection based on
some obscure point of law, says Lon
Ion Ttt-Bits.
For ten minutes or more the pris-
)ner was forgotten while judge and
counsel were involved in tangle Of
'egal phrases and precedents. Although
the controversy was absolutely unin-
telligibIe to the crowd present, it was
clear enough to the dullest intelligence
that counsel was more than holding
his own in the argument. This was
also painfully apparent to the judge
himself who, in a desperate effort to
cecover his official dignity, snapped
out:
"What does counsel suppose l am
on the bench fOr?"

No Cause for Alarm.

The other Monday afternoon a wOm-
an rushed eXcitedly down an alley in
the poor quarter and, stopping at
house, knocked loudly. Receiving no
reply, she knocked a second time. Still
no answer
A third time she knocked, and then
a window flung open and a woman
whose appearance betrayed signs Of
q sudden awakening leaned out.
"Well, what is it?' she asked.
The woman below looked up and eX.
claimed with bated breath
Mrs. Skinner, yer ,'usband's got ten

"Dear. dear me. Mrs. Jones'" was the
reply, lis that all? How yer did I'M

His Iona Stand.

Percy, being down to recite at the
temperance concert, stood up to do or
die. He got along all right until he
reached the words, "He stood beside
the bier !" Then his memory failed
him
"He stood beside the bier!" he re-
peated, trembling.
The evil spirits on the back benches
murmured one to another.
"He stood beside the bier" groaned
Percy and he drew moist hand
across his dripping forehead.

A Boston girl who had been taking
her first lesson in bicycle riding ex-
pressed her satisfaction at home at the
result Of the experiment
"The man said" she repeated that
I had made most satisfactory progress
for a novice"
"Why, did he really. say that?" was
the surprised query.
"Well, no." answered the Boston
young woman, after a moments refec-
ton, "What he did say was, You'll

Modest Request.

One young man who was highly SEN
sitive about an impeachment which he
had in his speech went to a stammer-
ers' institute and asked for a course
of treatments. The professor asked
him if he wanted full or a partial
course.
"A Impartial c-c-course"
"TO what extent would you like a
partial cOurse?"

Kinzie met the issue fairly. 81 don't
know you yet, Mr.. Smith; but 1 do
know Colonel Baldwin, here, and 1
guess I'll take chance on things as
they stand. I'll keep my stock"
The new secretary's smile was rather
patronizing than grateful.
"As you please, Mr.. Kinzie, OF
course" he said smoothly. "But Frnl
going to tell you frankly that you'll
keep it at your own risk. 1 am not
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 out
stiffly. Then he cut straight to the
heart of the matter.
"You mean that there will be a ma
iOrity pool of the old stock, and that
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 Baldwin's
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.

asked. "Why don't you loosen up and
tell a little more? What have you
fellows got up your sleeve, anyway"
