He Got Hold
Of the Wronc
Stenographer
By EDWARD T. STEWART
The president of the O. Y. and W.
railroad whs slttltiK in Ida ottloe at hla
roaowoixl ditsk when u oltK lal entervJ
In reply to a tap on his ullver UslL
Handing the aubordlnHte a letter, ha
an Id:
"Take that into the oftlee of the com
pany's attorney and tell htm to treat It
in the iistiul way."
The letter was from a young woman
who made her living by Bteuogrupliy
and typewriting. She had traveled on
one of the compauy'a trains, anil an It
nils msirlng the stallou stood at the
door, hriioliiB hors-lf iignlnst the car
end. The engineer atopiHHl the trnlu
anddtudy, aud tlie car door glmnmed
lualnst the girl's hand nnd crushed her
lingers. The Injury ended her ability
to uiake her living as she had Ikhui do
ing it. She naked the presUlent of the
road If he would Indemnify her. The
usual way referred to ty him waa
to get nu offer to Keltic, then pigeon
hole It. This waa done, and, the girl
having refused to settle for n song,
hoard nothing mort- from the com
pany's attorneys.
A few months after the pigeonholing
of the girl's offer the president sent for
his stockbroker and anld to lilni:
"Mr. Itarker, 1 have noticed a very
slow rise for a month past of the shares
i f our road. I know of nothing to put
them up. Our monthly statement shows
some fulling off in the earnings, and
there is some doubt about our main
mining the regular dividend. C an you
explain the rise In view of the facta?'
Mr. Barker could not explain the
rise. He thought that some person whs
manipulating the stock, putting It up
for the purpose of making money on It
w hen it went (low n again.
"Please sell a thousand shares for
my account," continued the president,
"and every point the price of tlie stock
ilsos, sell another thousand shiil'i'S."
The result of this order within a cou
pie of weeks was that the Btook went
up live points, and the president wns
short" of It o.ooo ahnres. That menus
Unit ho had sold slimes which lie did
not own at less than the market price.
When the stork declined to a figure he-
low what ho had paid for It he would
buy It and uialie the difference. As
Its president, he knew that the stock
was not worth what ho sold It for unil
did not doubt that he would make a
good thing of the transaction.
Hut the stisk did not go down. Iu
stead it continued to rise. The presi
dent, who hud good nerve, kept on
lolling stock that he did not own, and
one day having called upon his bro
ker for a statement of Ids account was
informed that ho was "short" 30,000
shares. This was somewhat unsteady
ing, and the president dlrecte-d the bro
ker to hedge by buying lil.lNM) abates In
I ds of one and two thousand.
The broker reported that his buying
of 3,000 shares hud put the stork up
'!Ti points. The president looked grave.
l'he road was a small one, and its out
dnndiiig stock was not luoru than
,,no,ooo shines, most of It iu hands thut
had hold It for years. If the seller
nuld not buy the atook he hud sold
for delivery he would lose a fortune,
lie put off taking uny action till the
next day, when there was a flurry In
i ho stock on the market, aud the
hares Jumped twenty point.
Then came a report that the stuck of
he Ii., Y. and W. Hallroad company
was "cornered." Thut meant thut some
person or pui'sons had bought up the
stock and there, wns none for sale.
Uue, three, four, six hundred per cent
was offered for It, hut no stock wus
brought out. Few persons hud boon
selling the stock except the president,
but ho wus ruined. In cases where a
spx k is "corneu'd" It Is customary for
the seller and the buyer to get together
and settle, agreeing on a certain flxi d
rice. The president sought hit un
known enemy for this purpose. He
found him to tie an enormously rich
perutor. 1 he president went to his
i. Hire in feur and trembling and asked
to what figure he was to lie tded.
First let us settle a little account
held against your company," said the
iperutor, "by a former employee of
mine. My stenographer bus ht-cu so
seriously Injured that she bus leen de
prived of making her living."
The president asked for further In-
lormatlon, w Id. h the operator gave
him.
"How much damage do you think
ur company should pay the ludyT"
.kril the president.
"What will give her an Income of
si."s a your. I think fifty of your
llrt mortgage brads would he aceept-
d "
The president telephoned for the
bonds, ami while they were waiting for
them be and the operator settled for
the stork the former had sold the lat
ter, l'ut the operator said Unit he
would not itu' t a fictitious alu for
the s 'in res he had Ixmght and mails a
"cttb'tneiit by w lib h the proHldent lost
nothing.
"Thank you very much." be ssld,
for letting me olT no cheaply. When
another woman makes a i laim against
our road I will iiopilre whore slit has
I wen employed."
"In this case you got hold of the
wrong stenographer."
"Most decidedly."
