Within another five minutes the broker had
learned that his check was good and had put
through the sale. Sixteen hundred fifty shares
on a thirty-point margin. They were sold
at 140.
George sat down in a comfortable chair
in the board room to watch himself get rich.
Amianthoid stock was on the toboggan
Tobias Field was dumping his holdings just
as George had been certain that he would
He gripped tightly the arms of his chair as
Amlanthoid slid down the slope. Greed
grasped at his soul. If only he had had more
money with which to sell Amianthoid short.
In his bank was deposited three hundred
dollars, and he could pawn James ring for
two or three hundred Redeem it when he
cashed in tomorrow. He rushed from the
brokers' Office, returned in half-an-hour and
sold more Amianthoid. During his absence it
had dropped ten points. At closing time, it
had dropped from his selling price of 14O
to 10.
George calculated that Field had not had
time to sell more than third of his holdings.
In the morning the slump would resume. He
was sure Amianthoid would go below fifty
but, taking no chances, he had put in an order
to purchase at sixty which would give him
profit of thirteen thousand, plenty of money
on which to get married.
He was only slightly uneasy regarding the
ethics of his actions. He owed Broadbeam
nothing and, if he had been spitefu fellow,
he would have kept his mouth shut and
allowed Tobias Field to ruin himelf.
At pay station he phoned Jane at her
office. She'd take him back when she heard

And | just remembered an engagement. -
Field grasped his arm and pulled him back
on the wall bench. Don't get huffy," he
pleaded. IF you know more than do about
that stock, III pay for information.
Let's drop the subject, suggested George,
frightened. Maybe I'm wrong
Field drew check book from his pocket,
slapped it open on the table and produced
a fountain pen. I'm in for a Million" he
said anxously. IF you know something that's
really important, III pay-plenty How about
five thousand dollars?"
With incredulous eyes George saw the man
write check made out to bearer for five
thousand dollars. Two years pay! He tried to
speak, he couldn't. He tried again.
Cost of production of American Amian-
thoid is thirty-four cents per pound. Soviet
Amianthoid, just coming on the market, costs
four cents to produce and can be sold in this
country for eighteen cents, which breaks your
monopoly, And you have no tariff protection
wait a minute, exclaimed Field hoarsely.
Russian Amianthoid is no better than asbes-
tos Can't transmit sound in conjunction with

Two days ago." George said impressively,

statement"

Sorry. can't tell you." George hedged
Man, I'm paying your
Your idea, Mr.. Field"
He was almost sorry for Tobias; the man
looked stricken. Then his big underlip was
thrust out. He had made decision "Okeh," :"
he said curtly. Cant wait for lunch Here,
pay the check" He placed twenty dollar
bill on the table, which he almost knocked
over in his haste to depart.
George gazed spellbound at the bank check
which the man left behind. For long years of
faithful service, nothing. For getting stewed,
sassing the vice-president and barging into a
swank bar, two years pay.
George laughed softly and contentedly.
The precious part of it all was that he had
sold Tobias Field the gist of report from his
own agent in Russia. This report he had de-
coded and placed upon the desk of Tom
Field, with recommendation not to purchase
Amianthoid but to run, for the present, on
the supply in hand. And the polo player had
forgotten to pass along the report to the
president
Five thousand dollars and it was only the
beginning! George had always believed that,
if big opportunity turned up, he would
know how to take advantage of it. Field had
gone out to phone his broker to unload his
holdings of American Amianthoid If he un-
loaded, he would send the stock into the
cellar. The thing to do, for man with money
who had sure thing, was to play it.
Leaving the twenty dollar bill on the table,
he departed as the waiter was approaching
with the wine. In five minutes he entered a
brokers' office in the Waldorf.
Sell me Amianthoid short he instructed.

DISMISSED AGAINST
Nj. c. ID. ASSESSMENTS

Judge Arthur L. Hooper. sitting
by assignment in the Tuscarawas
county common pleas court. last
week granted the motion of Atty
A. b. Mercer, of this place, to dis
miss without prejudice the injunc-
ton suit pending for the last three
months in Tuscarawas county
against the Muskingum Copservan-
cy District assessments. Granting
the motion was opposed at several
hearings by Attorneys Arthur l..
Limbach and Cletus A. Fisher The
attorneys for the district contended
that they desired determination
OF the issues raised in the Injunction
suit to prevent similar suits from
belng filed when future assessments
We're made. Fisher stated in court
on two occasions that it was bv no
means certain that it would not be
future.
During the three months that the
Iuscarawas county injunction was
IN effect, taxpayers of the county
paid their real estate taxes without
paying any flood assessments.
In commenting on the dismissal
or the suit, Atty Mercer said that il
further assessments are made by
o1stflct, taxpayers committees in
Morgan county and Tuscarawas
county will refuse to pay the tax
and that thereby they will compel
the district to- file tax foreclosure
actions which will be tried to juries
In the respective counties. Mercer
said that valid legal defenses to fu-
ture assessments exist because the
FEDERAL government has assumed
control of the flood control program
OF the district and that there is no
necessity for perpetuating the large
staff on the district payrolls, at the
expense of the taxpayers of the Mus
valley.
