M, dates hurried alonR. Those news

When that door opened I heard roars,

Thousands of poor millionaires wore

tee this danger of much wealth."

.dates. I am young, yet strong. My
(image Is thrice superb."
M. dates did then give to me those
shares. I gave to him one hundred
I'ollars with green hacks, in mere for
mality wllh the law.
"Look!" cried M, Gates, handing me
the tape of one ticker.
Quickly I looked. On this I read:
"foil Constrictor swells rapidly, No
blng con stop It. Tomorrow those di
rectors will raise the price to $100 a
.hare to outsiders, lambs, suckers, and
foreigners."
To-morrow! I reeled, Almost 1
swooned. I am the insider! I am the
it llllonalre!
."Try to bear up, M. Clam," said my
dear friend M. Gates. "Do not be
frightened. Remember, you will have
i.ntll to-morrow to prepare for this.
Now let us leave this excitement."
Wllh no delay we returned to the
tallest scraper. M. Gates conduced
me to his private office. Touching one.

"This," I replied, "Is the plan thrice
admirable. To-morrow I must hire
the agent, also."
M. dates did me the honor to be
pieatly pleased with this remark. With
laughter he replied: "Not before to
p orrow, M. Clam! Promise nic that! '
Instantly, of course, I give my word.
"Millionaires," said I, "must have hoji
or amongst themselves."
His reply: "That, M. Clam, is true.
Also it Is true. Also it takes one mil
lionaire to catch another."
With affection we parted, M. Gates
end I. Tomorrow I shall see him again,
my new friend. After I have escaped
that elevator and those crowds I find
fine to breathe nlone in one little res
tunrant. There, with my wine, I think,
think, think. All Is the great whirl of
i'ollars In my head. Soon I have plea
sure to see M. Van Bibber. He em
braced me with kindness. He take the
demi-tasse together, and talk much.
I said: "M. Rockefeller he has the

His reply: "Ah, yes! One year
