eyes blazed; tbe audacity
of the suggestion was obscured by the
possibility of honor that It contained.
•'Yea!’’ he said thickly. “Yea! You

“And you wouldn’t be afraid to keep
on working for me? That la. If we got
this Sllverbow scheme all laundered
clean before we started something
else?”
"Not If you—"
"Then listen !" The broker’s voice
was soft and horalletlcal. "You’ve
thought some hard things about me.
Maybe yon bad some cause; Fm not
disputing that. But 7 guess you’ve for
gotten something. Something T told
you when we first got together. I told
you If yon got me what I wanted I’d
help you get what you want. Well—
you’ve done your best. I got to give
you credit. And maybe you’ve changed
some of my Ideas too. Maybe you’ve
sort of worked me around to believing
I haven’t given you a square deal.
Well —let the past bury tts dead. I’ve
got more than one string to my how;
I’m sort of tired of the old line of
stuff; I’m thinking seriously of cut
ting It all out and going In for the safe
and sane. It Isn’t so Juicy, but It’s
vnfe. Am I right or nm 1 wrong? All
:he cards on the table—l’m no fool.
Rllllnrd—r.nd the bottom’s fnlling out
of this promotion game. So If yon
think you can blossom out Into a legit
imate salesman of high-grade bonds —
of course there wouldn’t be nearly ns
much In It for you—l’ve got more than
half a mind to give you the chnnce.
It’s a risk, but I guess T Owe It to you.”
ile slid his pudgy hand across the
table and smiled pnelflcally. "I’ve
taken a strong fancy to you. son —let’s
be respectable together. What do you
say to that?"
In his feverish Tlllllard was will
ing to Ignore the obvious fact that the
broker’s repentance was considerably
overdue, nnd that It was founded on
expediency nnd not on principle. The
thought of* working longer for Hnr
mon—even If the securities he had to
sell hi future were most conservative—
filled him with nausea; but if that
were the only way to save the situ
ation how could Tlllllard decline? How
in his duty to himself, could he refuse
to work again for Harmon. If this were
the only means to save bis friends
their money already lost? He felt his
veins throbbing to his agitation.
"Is ... is that n bona fide of
fer?” he faltered. Harmon’s hand
slapped the table for emphasis.
“Straight as a string. To tell the
truth you’re sort of on my conscience.
You’re with me? All right! Then as
far ns I’m concerned the contract’s
canceled here and now. Got It with
you?”
"No, I—”
The broker’s face darkened. "Where
Is it?”
Hilliard was disinclined to tell how
and why he had Intrusted It to Cullen.
“It’s safe,” he said. He could hardly
contain himself; he looked and looked
at Harmon, trying faithfully to recon
cile the man and his appearance and
htß principles, and he failed —but here
was the great reality confronting
him—and the millionth chance had
magically come true. It was warped
honesty but It was honesty no less.
Hannon licked his Ups.
"Well, we’ll clean up the whole
transaction todny nnd start with a new
deal. That’s settled. Oh, don’t carry
on like that, Hilliard. —Now about this
■rhap, Waring—“
"Oh, you still want to see him, do
you?”
Harmon hesitated. "Sure! Give
him a little surprise, eh? If he’s the
man who's been bombarding us we'll
spike bis guns first.—What?” He
laughed noisily and Hllllurd was al
most too excited to dislike thfc laugh.
“Don’t bother to telephone the Onon
daga ; we’ll Just wnlk over.’’
“But I thought you wanted to stuy
away from there?” Hilliard was dis
playing many of the symptoms of in
toxication.
"Oh. hot when everything’s going
along so smooth nnd nice! We can
go up in your room and have Waring
«p there and be Just ns private ns
anywhere else.’’
Accordingly, and to the chagrin of
a hoverlqg waiter, they quitted their
booth curt went out to the open air.
They reached the Onondaga; they ar
rived at the mezzanine floor; they
were safe In Hilliard’s apartment
“My!” said Harmon Jocosely. “I
wish I could afford to live like this!
Hut you’ve got n rich bncker, nnd I
haven’t.” He rubbed his hands In
great good nature: his eyes were spar
kling and his fat body was n-quiver
with vanity. "Well, the first thing to
do . . . Where did yem say you
keep that contract of ours hidden?”
"Is there any hurry about that now?”
Hilliard was fairly beside himself with
Joy.
“Well —” The sudden whirr of the
telephone buzzer seemed to ruffle the
broker’s nerve*, for he stnrted vio
lently. "Who’s that?”
“Just u moment. .” Hilliard
down the receiver. "Yes? . .

The broker was suddenly plunged
Into nncertalnty.
“Yes—nol No!"
"What’s wrong?” Hilliard was vis
ited by an unwelcome chill; be tried
to analyze It and couldn't.
The big man was breathing with dif
ficulty. “I . . . you go down and
. . . no. that wouldn’t do either. . . .
I want to see him alone. I want to
get him to call off his Investigator, so
when we begin a new campaign we
won’t have any verified report against

"No, sir!” Hilliard shook his head
smilingly. “I’m the man who’s had to
stand the gaff so far; I’m going to be
in on any conferences. That’s my
play I”
Hannon licked his lips again and
awnliowed repeatedly.
“Well . . . It’s . . . If you let
me do the talking then . . . or . . .”
Hilliard turned back to the trans
mitter.
“Ask him to come right up.” he said.
He replaced the Instrument and looked
alormedly at the broker. “You’re not
well I”
"Yes, I am. . . . Now let’s get at
that contract 1 There’s no sense talk
ing business until that’s canceled. Is
there?”
Ah Hilliard stared at him an Icy
wave of v suspicion swept him from
head to foot.
"What’s your hurry? It’s tny fu
neral, Isn’t it?”
“You are anxious, though I Har

"No ... no hurry at ail. Only

you want that thing out of the way?

A sharp rap on the door stopped hlin
Rhort. Hilliard turned the knob; War
ing and Mr. Cullen burst In.
“Why. Mr. Cullen I” he said In as
tonishment. "They didn’t tell me you
were here! rfello, Rufus."
"Hilliard I” Cullen’s face was red
and excited. "Oh, I beg your pardon!”
.He had seen Harmon.
Hilliard, taken utterly by surprise,
began to phrase the introductions; he
had only Just begun when Harmon In
terrupted—Harmon with a Ret Jaw and
blazing cheeks. He was standing by
the writing table, and one hand was
resting heavily upon It. His manner
was curiously apprehensive, curiously
desperate.
“Ah I Mr. Cullen
most happy. Fm sure . . . and Mr.
Waring . . . delighted!” His voice
was silken In Its tliroatiness. "Gentle
men, I have the honor to be presi

hands weaved aimlessly. "Of Mon

head erect. "I offer you personally
. . . to relieve you ... of any

back penny for penny.” Here his knees
shook and he swayed appreciably. He
was holding himself upright only by
tremendous, visible effort.
"The man’s sick!” Cullen stepped
toward him. Waring and Hilliard
were standing fasclnnted. The broker
warded off Cullen with both hands.

nt once he seemed to collapse; his
head hung low. and his breathing be
came stertorous. His cheeks puffed
queer Ly.
Hilliard sprang to him. “Rufus!
Call the office! Get the house doc
tor I”
Cullen had meed to the bathroom
for a glass of water; he raced back
agnln, spilling half of It. Hilliard was
chafing the broker’s wrists. The three
men strained at the unwieldy, unresist
ing hulk, while leaden fear clutched at
their hearts.
The house physician hustled In to
find the broker lying on the bed In a
profound coma; his reflexes had gone
from him ; he couldn’t be roused. There
was no need of a stethoscope.
"Order an Ice bag.” said the man of
medicine sharply. He himself was rat
tling among his vials for the calomel.
Rufus was at the telephone.
“Anything I can do?” asked Hilliard
earnestly. His suspicions had crys
tal Ized; and he was bitterly aware
that the broker hod planned not Jus
tice, hut some new brand of perfidy;
nevertheless, the man was unquestion
ably In danger—nnd revenge could
wait.
"Nothing—Just give me plenty of
room.”
As the three ’food watching pain
fully, Cullen put out his hand to Hil
liard, and spoke under his breath.
"Henry-i<-when did he come?”
“Only Just now. An hour ago."
"Hadn’t he told you? Or hadn’t
you heard?”
“Heard what?"
Cullen motioned to Waring.
“Give It to him, Rufus . . . Oh,
1 see; I see —”
The law student, without a word,
produced a yellow blank nnd thrust
It nt IIIIMnrd. lie flashed a glance of
Indescribable contempt at the supine
broker; his eyes had lost some of
their anxiety.
“Oh, the big crook!” he said boy
ishly. “The big crook I”
“Sh-h-h! Rufus!” Still, Hilliard, at
heart, agreed with him to the letter.
The boy stood close to the
masquerader.
“l*m sorry, Hilliard ... It camp
nt four this afternoon . . . we’d
been hunting for you ever since . . .”
Hilliard wasn’t Interested.
“I’ll wait until—”
Cullen signed to hltn peremptorily.
“Read It. I tell you I . . . It’ll give
you n slant on him!”
Hilliard peered over the foot of the
bed ; Harmon was still lying Inert. The
physician nodded Rblewlse.
“Nothing for you to do,” he said
grimly; nnd Hilliard, only partly aware
of what he was doing, gnve heed to
the yellow blank.
The fourth telegram of the day was
from Butte, Mont., addressed to War
ing-
" Arrived here Inst night after delay

who will not send separate report un
less you want It. This is wonderful
news and mine Is sure winner, even If
only a frnotion ns largo as reported.
Please show this message to Hilliard.
Slg. J. J. ARMSTRONG."
Hilliard sat down In the nearest
chair. The lump In his throat was
choking him; the moment was so big
that his feelings were primitive; his
expression of them were very simple.
He only smiled; the meaningless, vacu
ous smile of an infant. That smile em
braced the entire universe; It was In
dicative of a happiness so limitless, so
perfect, that it was almost foolish. So
Harmon, knowing from his own sources
of the sudden strike, had rushed to
Syracuse to pose as a man of honor!.
So Hannon had wanted to meet War
ing—and find :t Waring had yet heard
the news, and, if he hadn’t, stop the in
vestigation by apparent frankness and
ready restitution. So Harmon had
been eager to destroy the contract, to
promise Hilliard anything and every
thing. to repay the money that was
subscribed already—nnd then, as sole
owner, to take an enormous profit for
himself.
No one In the whole world—and
lenst of all, Waring and Cullen—could
have remotely fathomed the thoughts
that were eddying In Hilliard’s brain.
They were not for his own aggran
dizement ; they were for the Cullens
and Durants and for the others who
need never know the acid of disillu
sionment. They were for the Ideals
he had struggled toward; they were
for the friends who had stood by him.
And there was one very especial and
very manly thought for Juck Arm-
strong, who hail »een so courageous In
his defeat, and so neutral In bis be
havior afterward, and who now bad
sent the generous news winging east
ward. with the request that Hilliard
should learn at once of bis vindica
tion.
And as Hilliard sat there, smiling
oat into the silent room, and strag
gling to visualize the extent of fortune
which had so abruptly smitten him,
there was a dry murmur from the bed
where Harmon lay, and a resulting si
lence so pregnant with meaning that
the smile faded, and Hilliard was on
his feet, open-eyed with the present
horror brought back to him.
The physician was rising slowly from
cramped knees.
“It’s all over,” he said; paused, and
added: "Apoplexy.”
The only man In all America who
could have testified to Hilliard’s simu
lation had ceused to breathe.
CHAPTER XIV.
As Dr. Durant, having already given
counsel this morning to seven patients,
appeared at the door of the unte-roorn
to signal to the eight, he was pal
pably astonished at the presence of
the young man who sat next to the
door. The Doctor was very human;
the Doctor was very adaptable; but for
thirty years he had mannged to keep
the social and professional phases of
his life entirely apart, and nt the very
first glance he was aware that Hil
liard hadn’t come to consult with him
professionally. Nevertheless, he raised
his Auger In the usual sign; Hilliard
followed hltn to the inner room.
It was Hilliard’s Introduction to the
Doctor’s morning manner; and even

mosphere. The Doctor was bland, smil
ing, approachable, and yet not at all
the same man as he appeared at the
house on James street. He seemed de
tached from the hampering littleness
of a household; there was no air of in
tentional repose about him. Hilliard,
In spite of the Importance of his mis
sion. felt apologetic; he felt as though
he were unwittingly robbing science
of Its most valuable asset, which is
time.
“I know this Isn’t exactly the proper
thing to do,” he said, “but I’m leaving
town In an hour or so ... I thought
you might spare me five minutes. Doc
tor. even If It Is a little Irregular. Can
you ?’’
"What seems to be the trouble?”
The Doctor’s tone was a in lid Invita
tion to squnnder nothing on prelimi
naries.
"Mr. Cullen and I are running down
to New York todny . . . You’ve seen
the morning papers, haven’t you?”
"Yes.” The Doctor nodded. "And
Cullen telephoned me Inst night. Wns
Mr. . . . what was his name: Har
mon? . . . was he a close friend of
yours, nilllnrd?”
“No; Just a business associate . . .

ly—soclnlly, I should say. But It
changes some of my plans . . . Mr.
Cullen and I hnve to go to New York
for a few days nnd after that we’re
going out to Montana together.”
The Doctor tapped his desk thought
fully.
“On account of this?”
“Partly, and partly not. The whole
perspective’s changed; we’ve got to
get to work. Now. the last time I saw
you . . . why, that wns only yester
dny!” ne broke off. laughing nt him
self. “It seems so much longer than
that! Why. you said then that If I
ever needed any one of several dif
ferent things, including seventy-flvq
hundred dollars, to come to you. And
you spoke as though you really meant
It. Doctor ... So I’ve come I”
The Doctor regnrded him steadily
for a moment, nnd resumed tnpping
the glass pad on his desk with a medi
tative forefinger.
“You’ve reconsidered, have you?”
“Not that so much —hut we’v% had
fresh Information. Jack Armstrong’s
out there, indirectly representing Mr.
Cullen, nnd we’ve heard from our own
lawyers besides. So on the whole, Fm
willing to let you In If you’re willing
to come, In spite of what I said at
lunch yesterday. ,
The Doctor hesitated.
"Not that I doubt you at all,” he
said, "but when Cullen telephoned me
last night, he said that you nnd
he had raised all the money you need
ed In hnlf an hour after you went
out to look for It. You see, I have
some channels of Information myself I
So I can’t help *vo»dering why yon
need this now." Nevertheless, he was
hunting for his check-book.
"We don’t need It —I simply insisted
on keeping a place open for you. on
the chance that you hadn’t changed
your mind.”
“You’re fully satisfied lt’a the right
thing for me to do?”
“Yes. Doctor, 1 am.”
The Doctor held his pen poised In
the air. “I’m not sure Fm really en
titled to IL Doesn’t It really belong
to some one who was od the spot last
night?”
Hilliard’s eyes twinkled.
“You’re fond of talking about mo
tives. Doctor. . . . You’d have let me
have that money yesterday, wouldn't
you?”
“Didn’t I offer It to you?”
"Yes. sir; you did. But was it be
cause you thought you’d make a big
profit, or wns It just to help me?”
“Why—”
"You see.” said Hilliard cheerily,
”lf you’re going to hnve these merce
nary motives, 3’ou’ve got to let me
hnve some. too. I’ve let friendship
Interfere with business twice in two
days. And you’re not the only one I
held a place open for—Rufus and
Jack are In it. too. It was my privilege
to make that condition—nnd I did.”
The Doctor scribbled rapidly.
‘Then I’ll keep my promise . . . But
would you mind telling me what it is
I’m buying?”
“Here’s your receipt. Doctor.” Hil
liard laid n slip of paper on the desk;
took up the check, and scrutinized It
carefully. “What you’ve bought,” he
said. “Is a twentieth Interest In a new
syndicate formed last night. We’ll as
sume the stock control in New Y’ork,
when we get there, by paying some
more cash (and we’ve got more than
we need already) and after that, we
may possibly sell out, or we may go
ahead nnd develop the mine ourselves.
I don’t know yet which; that’s what
Mr. Cullen and I are going West to de
cide. But you’ll be protected nnyhow;
I’ll see to that. And If you’re in nny
hurry to get your money back—”
“How* soon do you think It’ll he?”
Hllllnrd laughed outright: a laugh
of utter happiness. “Right now, if you
say so.”
The Doctor puzzled.
“You don't make it clear,” he said.
"Then I will. Mr. Embree, down at
the Trust nnd Deposit company, wns
one of the men who wanted to get In
with us, nnd couldn’t. He was just
too late. But when I told him what I
was saving out for you. he authorized
me to make you an offer. I’m acting
as his agent, that is, nnd I’ve got
a check here, nnd if you want to en
dorse that receipt over to hltn, you can
have this.” He presented the hnnker’s
check; the Doctor stared ; it was pay
able to himself, signed by Embree,
and written for fifteen thousand dol
lars.
"Why, Hilliard!” be said, blankly.
“Is that good business? F*or Embree?
What’s behind this?”.
Hilliard fairly beamed his delight.
"Well, If you want my advice, don’t
take it! I told him I’d have to explain
it to you, and he agreed.” He sat
Btralghter, prldefully. “Jack Arm
strong sent another wire this morning
—and the XLNC crowd, who own the
property next to ours, know that I’ve
had this contract for all the Sllverbow
stock, and they’ve made us a Hat

—"four hundred thousand dollars
for the contract! And your twentieth
share would he worth twenty thousand
dollars If we took It I But we’re not
going to—because it’s worth still more,
and we know It. Lots more—twice as
much—so—”
The Doctor’s expression altered
slightly ; his chin sank a little, and he
sighed, almost In regret.
‘That hardly seems fair,” he said
slowly. “That hardly seems fair.” He
smiled fitfully, and sighed again. “For
years and years,” he said, “ever since
I first began to practice, I’ve been
working and waiting nnd hoping to
reach the point where I could give up
office work and do some research. . . .

“I own a quarter of the mine my

ity. “And Fm not thinking how I got

good I can do with It . . . can’t you

The Doctor nodded presently.

Piets and Scots.
In his Dictionary of Phrase and

Scots: “Plot Is not the Latin pictl
(painted people). As Piets nnd Scots
are always mentioned together, there
Is no reason why one name should be
Latin nnd the other Gnellc. Scot is
the Gaelic ’sgod ( a dweller In woods
and forests), nnd Piet Is the Gaelic
plct-ist (freebooters), the two being
equivalent to foresters and free
booters.”
Proof That Quality Counts.
BischolY, the great Russian scientist
and naturalist, once said “women are
inferior to men because their brains
are smaller nnd lighter.” But when
that man died his brain wns weighed
and found to be lighter rhan the aver
age womnn’s. So it is not weight or
size or sex, but quality, that makes
superiority, as the presumptuous Bis
