A Business Journey.

Hazel hesitated. Her first instinc-

retrace the nerve-trylng trail. But
neither did she wish to be separated
from him.

But you won't have to stay there

For a second or two he drummed
on the table top.
'But Is there any real necessity for
you to stay on the ground?' She pur-
sued her own line of thought. 81
should think an undertaking of this
size would justify hiring an expert to
take charge of the actual mining oper-
ations. Won't you have this end of it
to look after?"
"Lorimer and Brooks are eminently
capable Of upholding the dignity and
Importance of that sign they've got

labor of the Office they've set up will
be to divide the proceeds. The work

enjoy yourself. I'll transfer some
more money to your account. l think
I'll drop down to the club"
She followed him out into the hall,
and, as he wriggled into his coat, she
had an impulse to throw her arms
around his neck and declare, in all
sincerity, that she would go to the
Klappan or to the north pole or any
place on earth with him, if he wanted

that intermlnablc winter. She was.
But not Eli. If she ventured to give
tea, he fed the house as II from the

But so long as Bill found Granville

She wished fervently that Bill would

him In touch with civilization. He had
Sthe capital, she considered and there
was no question Of his ability. Her
faith In his power to encompass what
ever he set about was strong. Other
men, less gifted had acquired wealth,
power, even measure Of fame, from
a less auspcious beginning. Why not
he?
But she could never quite bring her
self to put II In so many words to Bill
The cycle Of weeks brought them to
January. They had dropped into some
thing of n routine in their daily lives.
Bill's interest and participation in So
cial affairs became negligible. When
he was not absorbed in book or
magazine, he spent his time in some
downtown haunt, having acquired
membership in a club as u concession

aome with flushed face and overnight
eyes, radiatlng an odor of whisky.
Hazel had never seen him drink to eX-

Certainly" Hazel answered. "But
what Is the difficulty. Bill"
"Blll is opposed to the whole plan,"
he said, pursing up his lips with evil
dent disapproval of BIZ Wagstaff and
all his works. "He seems to feel that
we should not have taken this step.
He declares that no more stock must
be sold that there must be no enlarge
ment of capital. In fact, that we
must peg along In the little one-horse
way we started, And that would he
n shame. We could make the Free
Gold Mining company the biggest
thing on the map, and put ourselves
on Easy street."
He spread his hands in gesture of
real regret
"Bill's fine fellow" he said. "and
one of my best friends. But he's a
hard man to do business with. He
takes n very peculiar view of the mat
ter. I'm afraid he'll queer the COM
pany If he stirs up trouble over this.
That's why ! hope you'll use whatever
influence you have, to induce him to
withdraw his opposition"
"But"Hazql murmured, in some per-
plexlty, "froih what little / know of
corporations, don't see how he can set
up any difficulty. How can he stop
you from taking any line of action
whatever?"
"Oh, not that at all" Brooks hastily
assured. "Of course, we can outvote
him. and put 1t through But we want
him with us, don't you see? We've a
high opinion of his ability. He's the
sort of man who gets results; prac-
teal, you know knows mining to a Il.
Only he SHES at our financial method.
And II he began any foolish litigation,
or silly rumors got started about
trouble among the company officers, it's
bound to hurt the stock. It's all right,
assure you. We're not folsting a
wildcat on the market. We've got the
goods. Bill admits that. It's the reg
ular method, not only legitimate, but
good finance. Every dollars worth Of
stock sold has the value behind II.
Distributes the risk d little more, that's
all, ana gives the company fund to
opernte successfully.
"If Bill mentions II, you might sug-
gest that he look into the matter n
little more fully before he takes any
definite action" Brooks concluded, rls-
ing. 81 must get down to the office.
It's his own interests I'm thinking of,
as much as my own. OF course, he
couldn't block reorganization
we want to satisfy him In every par
ticular, and, at the same time, carry
out these plans. It's big thing for all
OF us. A big thing, assure YOU"
