Hut he hardly noticed anybody. He was
really lost In his reflections.
He had, Indeed, good reason to be
thoughtful. A gigantic scheme, the float
ing of which would insure him very large
returns, had that very morning been put
by him before a syndicate of capitalists,
it was no less a one than the consolida
tion of the docking Interests of a great
French seaport. The plan was to bring
ill the owners together and form a trust
an what is known as the American plan,
ind then raise the dock tolls. With the
existing keen competition and the low
charges resulting therefrom, that property
it 'present yielded but a small return for
tbe capital invested.
The idea was a brilliant one. It would
aet the Mutual Credit and Trust Com
pany, if successful, three million francs.
nd the Mutual Credit and Trust Com
pany virtually meant the Vicomte de Va
llar. He had already enlisted considera
ble financial aid in support of the scheme.
Ho was that morning expecting an addi
tion to his forces in the person of M.
D'Auburon, the friend of that very useful
M. Chabot, who had introduced him to
the vicomte but a few days previously.
To sell this young man a big block of
lharea in the new enterprise, would, the
vlcomte thought, not be a very difficult
task. He bad entertained him at his
house only an evening or two ago. The
splendor of that occasion could not have
failed to properly impress him.
Then his wife, the vicomtesse, had so
lbly seconded his efforts to make D'Au
buron feel that he was in good hands. She
had talked glibly of their country place, a

De Valiar smiled as he thought how Chabot left the office of the Mutual

tors never dreamed. They were just as
dishonest then, if you call manipulation
dishonesty, which I candidly confess I
don't but their Ideas were smaller.
Hence the difference. Besides," he added,
laying bis hand impressively upon the
other's sleeve, "this thing must go
through. I think you, above ail others,
are aware of the necessity. The fact is,
my dear Chabot, there have been many
heavy pulls on the Mutual Credit bank
lately. One cannot offer eight per cent on
special deposits and always be sure of
making more by using the depositors'
money. Then there was the dividend on
the Ardennes Charcoal and Peat Com
pany. You know it was never earned:
but we decided that it would be best to
pay one."
"Well, the consequence was you placed
the bonds at par, didn't you?"
"At par to the public, of course, but

them all at eighty-five. I could not have
placed them to such good advantage."
"The interest comes due on the six

that bridge until we come to it."
"Before the sixteenth this dock com
pany will be floated. The bank's profit
on that will more than meet tbe interest
of the Charcoal and Peat Company
bonds."
"And if it isn't floated?" hnzarded
Chabot.
"If it Isn"t floated the inevitable crash

other way. my dear Chabot, about which
I cannot talk at present. But we will not

It was an hour earlier than usual, but
the clerk was glad to get away. He lived
in a small flat nnd had n wife and four
children to support. He could take bis
time now and walk homo instead of pay
ing for a seat in an omnibus. The hours
went by. It was past midnight when the
two men came out of the inner office and
into the street.
"I live on the other side. Student

"You must make it fifty thousand,"
said the small man, as they went along.
"That's cheap enough. Old friends

A fearful expression came over tho

along the river. Behind and in front of

over the low parapet they could see the

few who had come within their influence
had gotten away unscathed. A knock at
the door aroused him.
"Come In," he cried out, and Jules Cha
3ot entered the room.
"Where is your friend D'Auburon?"
was de Valiar's first question.
M. Chabot did not immediately reply.
He sank into a chair. He seemed anx
ious and worried, and out of sorts.
"What on earth's the matter with you?
You're not ill, are youV" ejaculated the
banker.
"It's my nerves. I think. They're not
o strong as they used to be."
"You haven't been yourself for some
rime, ever since that ugly affair at Ville
neuve," remarked dc Valiar, sympathet
ically. Chabot Bhuddered, and hid his face in
bis bands as if to shut out home horrible
sight.
"Don't speak of it," he almost whis
pered, so faint was his voice. "Yes, it
waH enough to upset anybody."
"It was a peculiar hardship on you,
Jules, just as you were on tbe point of
succeeding as you say with let me see,
what's her name Mademoiselle Emily,
wasn't it?"
"Let's change the subject. I came to
tell you something about D'Auburon. I
have discovered, on inquiry, that be is
even better fixed than I expected. How
big a block of stock had you put apart
for him in the United Dock Company?"
"A thousand shares I thought would be
imple. You know Collrt-Itemplin brings
us a large following, and there are Bom
pard and the rest. Still, some subscrib
ers will doubtless fail us at the laht mo
ment. Why do you ask?"
"It is not enough. He has some very
wealthy friends. Only last night he was
peaking of one, who, he says, follows his
lead implicitly. He is a Swiss. He pays
periodical visits to Paris, and it is said
Invests very largely in anything that
trikes his fancy."
"That's not bad news. What is this
Crcesus' name?"
"He did not tell me," replied Chabot.
He simply said if he thought well enough
of the venture to put hi own money in,
that he would advise his friend to do like
wise, if we needed additional capital.
What are shares to him 7"

Credit and Trust Company a small-sized
man issued from a cafe on the opposite
side of the street and walked in an ap
parently careless and preoccupied manner
in tbe same direction. He followed them
until they turned into a broker's office.
Presently they came forth again, nnd in
company with a third person continued to
walk In the direction of the Bourse.
This third person was Herr Max Gold
stein, one of the shrewdest dealers in se
curities in the whole of Paris. He was
tbe broker to whom tbe vicomte I had en
trusted the sale of the first mortgage
bonds of tbe Ardennes Charcoal and Peat
Company. He was a heavy, thickset fel
low, with little, cunning eyes, which had
been set together as closely as nature
would allow; had not an enormous none
grown between them, he would perhaps
have had only one large eye In the- center.
He bad a habit of cocking up his bead
when in conversation, and of listening
with his mouth wide open. He had com
menced life in Berlin as a bootblack with
a second-hand outfit. At the conclusion
of the first day's work he had accumu
lated enough to buy the best outfit in the
city. In a week be had concluded that
open air work was not to his liking, nnd
took his business off the street into a
basement, where be thrived apace.
Then the brilliant Idea struck him of
buying and selling theater tickets at cut
rates. From this he gravitated into lot
teries; from lotteries Into small curb
stone speculations. Hardly, able to write
his own name, the trading instinct was so
strongly developed in him that in ten
years he had accumulated a very consid
erable fortune.
Why Herr Goldstein had not continued
his uninterrupted career of prosperity in
Berlin was a mystery to his friends in
Paris. As be seemed to have plenty of
money, however, none of them had ever
dreamed of inquiring why he preferred
the French to the German capital as a
base for bis financial operations. After
all, was it any of their business?
Herr Goldstein was about forty-five
years of age, but looked considerably
older. Constant fighting with all sorts
and conditions of men bad left deep fur
rows across bis forehead. Ladies said
that without doubt he was a very unpre
possessing man. He seemed to have some
top of the low parapet nad whispered
hoarsely ;,
"I will send you where you won't need
the money."
Then he flung tbe blackmailer from him.
with the force of a catapult. The waters
received the detective and' closed over
bis head. He bad not time to utter n,
cry.
The broker passed quickly from the
bridge and, plunging into- a narrow street
which diverged from the main thorough
fare, soon gained bis apartments. Arriv
ed there, he threw himself, dressed as he
was, upon the sofa, and slept soundly till I
daylight.
Three days passed ; some1 workmen on a '
brick barge drew from tbe black and j

"Poor fellow !" he exclaimed, as be ex

"A tiger must have seized him. He was

river."

"Inwkes. honey, how so?" she asked.
"Because, Aunty," lie rejoined, "you
