CHAPTER IX.
The Breaks.
THattorneStornsofwhicie
E sensatio the district
sprang the sudden
indictment th president of
the Iroquoi company was pro-
found and farreaching. The day before
the indictment was presented to the
grand jury stocks began to tumble
without any apparent cause.
When the warrant for the arrest of
the great man had been served, and
he was admitted to bail to await his
coming trial, there was a feeble rally
in the market, but the rats quickly be
gan to desert a sinking ship. Th
president under indictment had ceased
to be a power. There was a wild
scramble of his associates who were
equally guilty to save their own skins.
The press, which at first denounced
Stuart, now boldly demauded the mer
riless prosecution of all the guilty, and
they hailed the brilliant young district
attorney as the coming man.
For six consecutive days stocks had
fallen with scarcely an hour's tem
porary rally. Every effort of the bull
operators, who had ruled the market
for the two years past, to stem the
tide was futile. Below the surface, in
the silent depths of growing suspicion
and fear, an army of sappers and min
ers under the eye of one man were
digging at the foundations of the busi
ness world—the faith of man in his
fellow man.
Each day there was a crash, and
each day the little financier and his
unscrupulous allies marked a new vic
tim. In the midst of the campaign
for the destruction of public credit
which Rlvens and his associates, the
Allied Bankers, were conducting with
such profound secrecy and such re
markable results, when their profits
bad piled up into millions, a bomb was
suddenly exploded uuder their own
headquarters.
The Van Dam Trust company was
put under the ban of the Ne York
clearing house. Th act was a breach
of faith, utterly unwarranted by any
known law of the game. But it was
tone.
When the president of the company
walked quietly Into Bivens' office and
made the announcement for a moment
the little dark man completely lost his
oerve. Cold beads of sweat started
from his swarthy forehead.
"There must be some mistake."
"There's no mistake. It's a blow be
low the belt, but it's a knockout for
the moment. They know we are sol
vent, two doHars for one. But they
know we have $90,000,000 on deposit,
and we have some big enemies. They
know that the group we have support
ed have smashed this market, and
they've set out to fight the devil with
fire. They're determined to force a
showdown and see how much real
money Is behind us. We can pull
through if we stand together."
Bivens sprang to his feet, exclaiming
fiercely:
"Until hell freezes over!"
The banker smiled feebly for the
first time In a week.
"Then it's all right, Mr. Bivens.
We'll pull through. They'll start a
run on us tomorrow. Five millions in
cash will meet it, and we'll win bands
down. W have powerful friends.
Our only sin Is our association with
your group. We must have that five
millions in the safe before the doors
are opened tomorrow."
"Too shall have it," was the firm an
swer.
With a cheerful pressure of the hand
the president of the Van Da Trust
company left, and Bivens called his
secretary.
"W turn the market tomorrow—or
ders to all our men. Knock the bottom
out of it until the noon hour, then
torn and send it skyward with a
bound."
When Dr. Woodman returned home
that night from one of his endless
tramps among the poor Harriet opened
the door.
Something about the expression of
his face startled her. For the first
*lp In her life she a in its gaunt
lines the shadow of despair.
"What is It. papa, dear?" she asked
tenderly, slipping an arm about his
neck as she drew blm down into his
favorite chair.
"What, child?" he responded vaguely.
"You look utterly worn out. Tell me
what's the matter. I'm no longer a
child. I'm a woman now—strong and
well and brave. Let me help you."
"You do help me. baby!" he laughed,
with an effort at his old time joyous
spirit. "Every time I touch your little
band you give me new life. Some day
your voice will thrill thousands as it
now thrills my heart. You'll win fame
and wealth for your father. You shall
care for him In old age. I'm not mis
erable. I've really had a good day.
I've spent the whole afternoon super
intending the distributing of flowers
among the hospitals. I saved a kid's
life with a flower. Hi father used to
work for me in the old days. They
asked me to come to see him. There
as no bone. had been given up
to die. I gave him fragrant white

ecfit eagerly. In all his life he had
never held a flower in his hand before
pressed it to bis lips, his soul thrill
ed at its sweet odor, and the little tired
spirit came staggering back from the
mists of eternity just to see what it
meant. will live."
The girl's arms slipped around his
neck in a tightening hold, and she
pressed her cheek against his a mo
ment in silence.
"Papa. dear. It's no use trying to
deceive me. I've the right to know
what is troubling yon. I'm not a
child. You must tell me."
"Why. it's nothing much, dearie."
he answered gently. "I'm worried a
little about money. I've a note due
at the bank, and they've called on me
unexpectedly to meet it. Bu I'll
manage somehow."
"I'll give up my music, go to work
and help you right away."
The father placed his hand gently
over her lips, and the tears sprang Into
bis eyes in spite of bis effort to keep
them back.
"Don't talk sacrilege, my child. Such
words are blasphemy. Jod gave me a
man's body for he coarse work of
bread winning. gave yon the su
preme gift, a voice that throbs with
eloquence, a power that can lift and
inspire the world.
"Promise me. dear—it's the one wish
of my heart the one thing worth
working and struggling for—promise
me that you will never stop until the
training of your voice is complete
that no matter what happens you will
obey me in this. It is my one com
mand. You will obey me?"
"Yes. papa. I promise, if it will
make you happy."
"It's the only thing I live for. All
I ask is that you do your level best
with the gift of Cod."
"I'll try. papa dear," was the quiet
answer as she kissed him again and
softly left the room.
Harriet had scarcely reached her
room when Adams, the cashier of one
of the allied banks, who owed the
doctor for three months' rent, entered
the library with quick, nervous trend.
"I've news, sir," he said excitedly
"I've a big tip on the stock market."
The older man grunted con temp tu
onsly.
"Yes, that's what ails you. I know.
You've been getting them for some
time. That's why you owe me for
your rooms. That's why there's some
thing the matter with your accounts."
"I swear to you, doctor, my accounts
are clean. I've bought a few stocks.
I've made a little and lost a little.
I've got the chance now I've been
waiting for. I've a real piece of in
formation from the big Insiders who
are going to make the market tomor
row. I got it from Bivens' private
secretary. Th little weasel has made
millions on this break, and he has
been selling the market short for two
weeks. Tomorrow moruiug he Is go
ing to smash it for the last time and
at noon throw his millions on the bull
*lde. Th market will go down three
points on the break in the morning.
It will jump five points in ten min
utes when It turns the other way.
There are stocks on the list that will
recover ten points before the market
closes.1'
"Bivens Is going to do this?" the
older man interrupted. "Then it's a
trick. It's a lie. Take my advice and
do just the opposite from what you
understand. Bivens will sell out bis
partners In the deal."
"Man, he can't sell ont!" the cashier
Insisted. "It's his own deal. He' sin
It for all he's worth!"
The doctor rose with sudden excite
ment.
"Adams, this is the first time in my
life I've ever been tempted to buy
stocks. I'm In desperate need of
money. I've a note for $3,000 due.
I've $2,000 set aside to finish ray little
girl's musical studies. I've got to
meet that note somehow, and I've got
to have the money for her. It looks
like a chance. I'll go in and watch the
market tomorrow."
"If It don't act exactly as I say don't
touch It If It does, go in for all you're
worth. If stocks start down as 1 say
they will, sell short cover at noon and
they buy for a rise. Don't listen to
fools—just buy, buy, buy I You can sell
before the market closes and make
$20,000."
"I'll drop into a broker's office and
watch the market open, anyway.
Adams. Thank-yon."
Th next day the more optimistic
traders on the stock exchange expected
a change in the market. Stocks bad
dined for two weeks with appalling
swiftness and fatality. Every hour had
marked the ruin of men hitherto bul
warks of solidity. Experienced men
reasoned and reasoned from experience
that there must be a turn somewhere.
The bottom sorely had been reached.
The time for a rally had come.
Stuart slept late. was up until 1
o'clock writing a reply to a peculiarly
venomous attack on his Integrity which
a morning paper bad printed. Th
writer had boldly accused him.o be
ing the hired tool of the group of finan
cial cutthroats who were coining mil
lions out of the ruin of others In the de
stXB.ctiqn_of publicJaith.
"""His reply^waa"simple, and his con
ducting paragraph was unanswerable
except by an epithet
"My business Is the enforcement of
justice. I am the servant of the people.
If Wall street cannot stand the en
forcement of law so much the worse
for the street It Is no affair of mlue."
Dr. Woodman hurried downtown to
the office of.a friend on Pine street, an
old fashioned banker and broker whose
"If you've got a dollar, nail it up."
name had always stood for honesty and
fair dealing and conservative business.
It was bait an hour before the stock
exchange opened, but the dingy little
ofllce was packed with an excited
crowd of customers.
Th doctor followed old Dugro. the
bead of the firm. Into his private office
and asked his advice. got it—sharp,
short and to the point
"Go home, doctor, and stay there
This market Is no place for an am a
teur. It's all 1 can do to keep the wolf
from my door in these days."
"But I've received some Important
information."
"Keep it dark," old Dngro scowled
"Don't tell It to your worst enemy. If
you've got a dollar, nail it up and sleep
on the box."
"But I've some information 1 think
I'm going to act on and I want to open
a small account with you."
"All right. I've warned you," was
tbe grim answer. "1 wish you good
luck."
The doctor drew his check for $2,000
and smilingly took bis place among the
crowd before the board.
The ticker would tell the story in the
first hour. If stocks should sell oft
three points before noon, be would
know. determined to put this to
:le test first. would not sell tht
market short would be content
with tbe big jump the market would
make upward when it started.
As the noon hour drew near tbe doc
tor's heart was beating like a sledge
hammer. Bivens' program bad been
carried out to the letter. Stocks bad de
clined for the first hour a point and in
the second hour suddenly smashed
down two more points amid the wildest
excitement on the exchange.
Tb moment to buy bad come. The
doctor was sure of it Stocks had
touched bottom. Th big bear pool
would turn bull in a moment and the
whole market would rise by leaps and
bounds.
called old Dugro.
"Buy for me now Amalgamated Cop
per, the market leader, for ail I'm
worth!"
The broker glared at him.
"Buy! Buy in this market? Man.
are you mad?"
"I said buy!" was the firm answer
"What's the limit?"
"Not a share without a stop loss or
der under It
"Well, with the stop?"
"I'll buy you 400 shares on a four
point stop."
"And when It goes up five points?"
the doctor asked eagerly.
"I'll double your purchase and raise
your stop, and every five points up I'll
keep on until yon are a millionaire!"
The old broker smiled contemptu
ously, but it was all lost on tbe doctor.
"Do It quick."
Th order was scarcely given before
It as executed. Dugro banded tbe
memorandum to Woodman with a
grunt
"It don't take long to get 'em today I"
Th words bad scarcely left bis lips
when a hoarse cry rose from tbe crowd
hanging over the ticker.
Copper had leaped upward a whole
point between sales. A wild cheer
swept tbe room. For ten minutes every
stock on tbe list responded and began
to climb.
The doctor's face as wreathed In
smiles. Men began to talk and laugh
and feel human fe the first moment
in two weeks.
Dugro grasped the doctor's band,
and his deep voice rang above tbe
roar:
"You're a mascot! You've broken
the spell! For God's sake stay with
os!"
Suddenly another cry came from the
crowd at tbe ticker. The boy at the
board sprang to the Instrument with
a single bound, his eyes blazing with
excitement. His cry of "Down!" pierc
ed every ear in the room with horror.
Tbe panic bad come.
In ten minutes stocks tumbled five
points, and tbe doctor's last dollar was
swept Into space, while the whole mar
ket plunged down, down, down Into the
abyss of ruin and despair.
Men no longer tried to conceal their
emotion. Some wept, some cursed,
some laughed: but the most pitiful
sight of all was tbe man who could
do neither, the man with white lips
and the strange, hunted expression In
his eyes who was looking death In the
face for the first time.
A full quarter of an hour of the panic
had spent itself before the dazed
crowds in tbe broker's offices read the
startling news that caused the big
break. The ticker shrieked its message
above tbe storm's din like a little
laughing demon.
-"The, y_an_pam Truat^Company Has
WILLMAR TRIBUNE, W^DHfeSDAY,
Closet! Hs Doors anT AskedTFor the
Appointment of a Receiver!"
Bivens had not kept his solemn
pledge. The great bank had stood the
run for two hours and closed its doors.
And the work of destruction had Just
begun.
At 3 o'clock the doctor walked out of
Dugro's office without a dollar. He
felt almost happy by contrast with the
fools he left shuffling over the floors of
Dugro's office.
His own sense of loss was merely a
blur. The revelation he had just bad
of the mad lust for money which had
begun to possess all classes was yet so
fresh and startling he could form no
adequate conception of his own posi
tion.
It was not until he entered his own
door and paused at the sound of Har
riet's voice that he began to realize
the enormity of the tragedy that had
befallen blm.
