“ Hallo!” he said, suddenly, and stop

The girl ahead had paused. She was

tremendous dray, piled with boxes,
Lore down upon her, and at the shout
o f the driver, who was striving to

sprang toward safety and reached the

Berenson let the dray pass. Looking
down directly on the spot where the
girl had hesitated, he saw that which
had arrested her. and bending quickly,
he pulled out of the thick, black, sticky
mud an absurdly small rubber, with
its wrinkles holding the arch of a high

He felt ridiculously elated.
So

“ Wheat gone up. Berenson?"
“ No—rubber!”
laughed Berenson.

This accusation could not be made

casement to discover If that particu

were within range o f bis vision that
his business began to suffer from such
erratic absences.
Not that Jack Berenson was bother
ing himself about business. Luring
those minutes he stood, absorbed In
day dreams, staring apparently at the
uninteresting wall o f an uninteresting
building, he was thinking for the moat
part how strange it was that he, who
had come gaily up the road of life,
heart whole and fancy free, until he
had reached his thirtieth milestone,
should all at once be beset by the

met the Indifferent glance of violet,
black-lashed eyes, looklDg forth from

that he could not bring himself to be

But when he had sallied forth with
his prize his courage almost failed
him. And when the elevator man let
him off at the eighth floor, as bidden.
It was an insane desire to make his Im

pulled himself together and went to

the physicians whose names were In

“ Hope I don’t run Into Norton, or

“ Hope I don't.”
But he did—all three o f them. They
and a few of their professional asso
