intended only to tease her; but all at
once her head came up. and he could
see that her eyes were big and soft
and frightened. She was hardly seven

ceased to be the child Of two years
ago. He bent and kissed her; her
lips were trembling, expressive.
"Now we've got to hurry" he said.

cause Of Hilliard's and Angela's delay,

He could not tell, Of course, whether
they had actually seen him. It was

was nothing in the manner Of any ono

reasonable person who had seen him

to be very Opaque.
No, the manner Of those three who
had stood on the threshold was aston

"And that balance Of 10000 shares"
he said. belongs to us three. The
brokers are making a market and es-
tablishing price; and in order to pro-
tect themselves, they can't afford to
let the stock sell under the price
they're charging the public-because
II they did. the public wouldn't buy up
the rest of what the brokers have to
sell, but they'd buy 1t in the open mar
ket. So the brokers protect the mar
ket. by what's considered perfectly
legitimate means, although some folks
call it manipulation. and they keep the
price up by main strength until the
first dividend is paid, and after that
they don't have to worry, because now
everybody sees what good thing 1t is,
and flocks in to take advantage of 1t.
and the quotations jump up to twelve
or fifteen. Evcrybody's made money;
the brokers have made theirs; the pub.
lies making theirs, and when the price
is right the syndicate sells in open
market the 10000 shares it had left.
and you and Angela and l have each
made a quarter Of a million dollars
without really risking single cent!

half In cash, and the balance In about
ninety days.
':Now then. We own 10000 shares
for which we've paid, and agreed to
pay $4,000. That Is. we've under.
written these shares for q dollar
apiece, and paid down half the amount.
Now let's begin to look at 1t from the
public's standpoint. Here's mine
with plenty Of ore; and a company
with cash enough on hand to begin
producing at a profit very soon-al-
though nobody pretends that it's ac-
tually producing now. 1t has 10000

and 1t does, and you and Angela and
I are still letting the former owners
manage 1t. but since we're in control
Of the stock, we either elect ourselves
as directors. or elect other people
whose names carry weight with the
public. so that we can always direct
the general policy, and see that it's
careful and conservative. From every
angle, then, financial and moral. the
venture looks like big success. So
you and Angela and I 90 to q good
broker, or to group Of brokers, and
make them proposition. We con-
vince them of the value we have; we
let them send their own engineers out
to make a report, and as evidence Of
good faith, we pay all their expenses; !;
we let them go over our books. Every
things fair and square and above
board. And we agree that these bro
kers will take some Of this stock of
our hands to sell to the public (be-
cause they've got selling organiza-
ton already established, and plenty of
customers who look to them for ad-
vice) and it's agreed that they'll pay
us-say, four dollars a share for what
they think they can sell. The brokers
then do some advertising, send out
their circulars and bulletins and
pamphlets to their customers, and sell
that stock to the public for anywhere
from six to eight dollars share. That
is. the public is glad enough, when the
prospects good one. to pay seven or
eight dollars (because every shares
going to be worth ten) for what cost
the broker four dollars, and cost us
one dollar-which we've already got
back from the brokers, and we've still
got the half of those 10000 shares of
ours left besides! So here's the final

TAYLOR.
Iaurette TAYLOR, since her appearance
bere several wears ago in Peg % My
Heart" has always been n prime favorite
with Wilmington audiences. Her pre-
sentafion in ''Out There" and later In
"Happincss," have served to heighten the
esteem of the local theatregoers. This re-
gard is destined for still further increasing
by the appearance at The Playhouse next

MARITAL COMEDY At THE GAHmcK.
NIismated matches and their conse-
u,lenees, entanglements and embarrass-
ments are emphasized in clever little
comedy slSit entitled Getting Unmar-
ricd," which is one of the features at the
Garrick Theatre this week. The princi-
pals in the cast, William l.. Gibson and
Regina Connelli, are live wire exponents of
al tnnt ~ N
natural 10 them-and the result is that
they give q true Interpretation of the in
tent of the author, Winthrop Parkhurst.
MABEL. NoRMAND AT THE QUEEN.
To Mabel Normsnd belongs the credit
of being one Of n very few stars who have
for years held popularity with public for
her comedy interpretations. Now an
other proof of the reason why such things
have happened is offered in Pinto,
the newest photoplay in which the star is
featured at the Queen the last four days of
this week. Pinto" makes Mabel wild
and woody western from the heels of her
boots to the top of her business-like SOM
brero.
TOM MOORE AT THE MAJESTIC.
''Toby's Bow" well-known stage
success, adapted for the screen and pre-
sented with Tom Moore in the leading
role, is at the Majestic Theatre. Smiling
Tom is one of the prime favorites with all
Wilmingtonians, his genial personality
radiates wholcsomeness and good cheer
always. The picture tells in detail the
story of a young author who lived IN the
Greenwich Village and of his redemption.
MARGUERITE CLARK Al THE RIALTo.
Marguerite Clark comes to the Rialto
Theatre today in Little Miss Hoover"
This picture is unmistakably fitted for
Miss Clark. Its tender little love story
has rather romantic setting in the Capt.

emphasize the fact that appearing with
Miss Clark is Eugene OBrien, now a
popular star in his own right.
