small position on McClure's Maya
zine, 1t was not many months until he
was the principal stan writer of that
publication. Eventually he became its
editor n maintained a connection
with 1T for eleven years. During that
time he advanced to a position as one
of the most popular writer's in the
United States. Today his work is fea-
tured by many publications OF national
circulation, while his books are in great
demand in all parts of the country.
Mr.. Turner's talents take an aston
ishing range. He produces novels,
short stories and poems and is one of
the clearest writer's of the day on finan-
cial and economical subjects; and he
has the singular ability of being able
to take a background of finance or
economics and combine it with faSci-
mating romance and dramatic qualities.
His mind moves in original channels
and there is always something out of
the ordinary in his stories. In the tale,
Held in Trust" he makes the central
figure a gigantic trust fund, just as
though it were a thing of life. In fact,
almost a thing of life-a hidden, mys-
terious thing, exerting powers for good
or evil, and pulling invisible strings
that dominate the lives of a number
of people.
Being able to give an inanimate thing
such as a trust fund the qualities of life,
it becomes evident that he can do
much with human actors. The charac-
ters in this story and their reactions
to the influences of the great, mys-
t~erious, merciless trust fund form a
fascinating study-the whole a singu-
larry thrilling narrative.

CHAPTER II

To Mary Manchester going home
home that night, life was not especial
ly promising. Indeed, in the small
undramatic way of the poor, she
might reasonably, perhaps, be called
desperate. 1t was herself, of course,
first and always, that she had to
blame in general-her lack of physical
strength; but in particular, too, the
time Of year and the new money-the
conjunction of the ferocious hot spell
and the attack of the new fat-fngered
ogresses-or so she saw them-with
the New Money. 1t was the period of
the year when SO many thousands are
absent from New York and so many
millions are not.
Mary Manchester in the country.
with the tonic of fresh air and trees
and flowers, would have been one
creature. Mary Manchester in the city
behind the counter, in the heat all
day, in that awful stale-aired fiat at
night, was quite another. Yet even
then, delicate as she was, she could
have held out, she thought, if it had
not been for the Wild Women-as
they were sometimes termed bv her
sister salesgirls-the Wild Women
with the New Money.
There has been so much of this new
money coming into the stores. as
everybody knows since the war-and
especially to the departments of sheer
luxury and extravaganza, like Mary
Manchester's own, in the fine dresses.
No one knew what unexpected boards
the Wild Women would develop from
somewhere about their persons to law
ish in the department where Mary
Manchester vas one who smiled and
bowed to them as they entered.
She was a good saleswoman-that
was generally admitted-in spite of

CHAPTER /

You would not have thought from
his face-from his meager face and
cold eyes and slightly oblique smile
that Jasper Haig, standing and then
sitting inside the broad plate-glass
windows with the other celebrities
in his greatly celebrated club on Fifth
avenue, was looking for a woman-a
young woman. Such things have been
done before, no doubt, from that same
high position-but not, you would
have said ~instinctively, by the owner
Of that face. And yet that was the
fact. Jasper Haig, most astute of law
yers, manager of the great Gorgam
Trust Fund-was doing that, it
seemed to him, forever.
