TO repay you a hundred times over.
About year ago on a capital Of one
dollar, given to me, I made turning
point in my life. Today 1 am worth.
roughly, one hundred thousand dollars.
Some years from today I vii be worth
millions. 1t is coming as sure as fate.
What are you going to do. Hunt? Are
you going to stand by me, or are you
going to break with me? Give me your
answer nOw-this minute"
Hunt did not meet the speakers
eyes, but looked away, his gaze wan
dering about the gIittering grill. Then,
as the needle is drawn by the magnet.
he turned back and looked into the
powerful young face opposite. And
who shall say@perhaps, by some
flash Of prescience, he saw Fitzhugh
not as he was then, but as he would be
in after years, juggler of millions.
Perhaps he saw that here was a man
who was born leader of men. Per
.haps he saw in that momentary flash
another of those men who have made
Chicago the Wonder City-the City
of Purple Dreams of those
who, rising from the depths of Obscur-
ity, have amassed fortunes, achieved
power, beside which the most extrava-
CANT fiction appears pueriIe. He
thrust his hand across the table.
''Pm with you, DAN" he said.
It was in the following December.
during the height of the Christmas
holidays, that Fitzhugh was intro
duced to Symington Otis. This day
was notable one for renewing casual
acquaihtances.
The past year, although it had
added not a little to his capital, had
failed to carry F'itzhugh as high as
he had intended it should. He had
suffered many reverses, for his reck-
less habit of pIunging often carried
him backward as well as forward. But
these setbacks, if keenly disappoint-
ing, were not diScOuraging, nor were
they improbable. He learned by
each of them, using them as stepping
stones. He never made the same mis-
take twice
ALFRED faultlessly, a cigar between
his teeth, a malacca stick under his
arm, he was standing in the rotunda
of the Board of Trade that December
morning, reading kilograms just hand

panied by three or four men, among
