Inatead of putting the stock on a dividend paying basis the direct ors had decided at tbo last hour that It would not be conservative to do ao, whereupon the atock bad "broken" seventeen point. The lambs loat hun dred of thousand of dollura; the In sider gained a much. It waa a "nice turn." Ilayward remembered this, and when the stock, after soveral day of consplcuoua activity and steady ad vances, roNO to 52, be promptly sold "short" 0.000 shares, believing that the barefaced mnnlpulntlon would not rauw tho stock much oliove that figure, and Hint before long It must decline. Only a month provloimly It had aold at 85 and nobody wanted any of It Ho was all tbo more decided In his opinion that the "top" had been reached by prices, been u so Mr. Dorr, in a C'blcnRO paper, had stated that the stockholders would probably receive an entire year's dividend at one fell twoop by reason of the unexampled prosperity In tbo tteel rod trade. Such an action was unprecedented. It bad been talked about at various times In connection with other stocks, but It bad never come true. Why should it come true in this instance? Uayward, familiar with Dorr' rec ord, promptly, "coppered" his "tip" to buy, banking on Dorr's consistent mendacity. But William G. Dorr, abrewdeat and boldest of all western stock gamblers, fooled everybody-he actually told the truth. That week the director did exactly a he had predicted. When a speculator of his caliber He he fool only one-half-the foolish half-of the street When he tells the truth he deceives everybody. Before Wall street conld recover from tho shock the price of the stock was up 8 points, which meant that Bay Wflrd. M-Q"1 tSLSPO- on,jhqtjdeaJ :.:.;','. lotl: !;. i '.

But, in addition,' the general Hot wa carried upward sympathet ically. The teml-paralyzed bulls re gained confidence as they taw the sue ceNsful outcome of the Chicago gam bler! maneuver In Consolidated Bteel ltod. Money ratt and bear hopes fell; stock value! and bull courage rose! Ilayward began "covering" Btecl ltod. II "Iwtight In" 6,000 ! ret, and after ho finished bo had IokT $2fl,7M by the deal. He was still "short" about 12,000 shares of other stockw, on which his "paper" losses, at tho Inst quoted price, were over $35,000; but If he tried to buy back such large amount of stock in a market so sen sitive to any kind of bull Impetus, he would send prices upward in a Jiffy, Increasing bis own lotses very materi ally. He went to his office that morning In A tremor. He consulted the cashier and found he bad ouly 152,000 at tho bank, of which two-third belonged to his customers, Ho was already, moral ly speaking, an embezzler. He wus ruined If be didn't cover, and he was ruined If he did. Ills "seat" on tho stock exchange was worth possibly $40,000, not a cent more, and as be personally owed his out of town corre spondents nearly $3S,00Q he could not avoid being hopelessly ruined. More over, bis bankruptcy would not be an "honest" failure, for, as be told him self bitterly after tbo barm was done, "I bad no business to speculate on my own hook wlih other people's money." He bad felt It rather than had seen It coming, for, irauiblerllko, be bad closed his eyes and bad buried his bead In the sand of hope, trusting In luck to pro tect him from punishment But now ho was face to face wlih the question that every gambler drcods "If I stood to lose all, how desperate a risk would I take In order to get It back?" The answer Is usually so appallingly thief like that the numerous Ilayward of tho stock exchange nud the board of trade forthwith slop thinking with n suddenness Hint does credit to the rem nnnu of their honesty. But it haunt them, doe the ominous question and tho commeuced but unfinished answer. As ho left his office to go to the board roam he put to himself the futnl query. But he would not let himself answer It uutll he had stopped at Fred's, Ihe official barroom of the stock exchange, and had taken a stiff drink of ra w wblnky. Then the answer came. , Ho was ruined anyhow. If he fajled without further ndo-thnt Is, without increasing his liabilities, he would be cursed by twenty-five of hla customers and by fifteen of his fellow brokers who were "lending" stocks to him. But If be made ono last desperate effort he might pull out of the hole, or at worst, wby, the number of cursing customers would remain the same, but the fellow brokers would rise to twenty or thirty. He took another aliff drink. The market bud become undoubtedly a bull market The bears had been fighting the advance, and tbera still remained a stubborn short Interest in certain ttocks, as, for example. In American Sugar company stock. Now, it that short interest could be stampeded it might mean an eight or ten point ad vance. If he bought 10,000 or 15,000 shares and sold them at an average profit of four or five points, he would put off the disaster, and if be made ten points be would be a great oper ator. He bad, to be sure, no business to buy even 1,000 shares of Sugar; but then he bad no business to be on the verge of bankruptcy. The liquor was potent. Sally, said to himself aggrlevedly, "I might as well be hung for a flock aa for one measly old mutton." He walked a trifle unsteadily from Fred's across the narrow asphalted New street to the stock exchange. He paused at the entrance. There was no escape. Unless ho could make a lucky strike he would fall ignomlnl ously, "Pike's Peak or bust!" he muttered to himself and walked Into the big room. "Good morning, Mr. Ilayward," said the doorkeeper, nay ward nodded absently, caught himself repeating "Pike's Teak or bust!" and walked straight toward the Sugar post He bem to bid for stock. One thousand shares at 110; be got it. Another thousand; It was forthcoming at 110. A third thousand; somebody was glad to sell it at 111. So far so bad. Then he bid 117 for 2,500 shares and it was promptly sold. But when he bid "117 for any part of 5,000!" the crowd hesitated; the bankers vere not altogether sure Ilayward was "good for It;" his ability to pay for the stock wa not undoubted. So Sally, taking advantage of the hesitation, bid 117K and 117 for 6,000 Sugar, at which price Billy Thatcher, a two-dollar broker, sold It to him. It made 10,500 bare Hayward bad bought and the ttock bad risen only 1H points. , The shorts were not frightened a wee bit But Sally was. He rushed out of tho crowd to hi telephone and made t pretense of "reporting" the transaction to his office, as he would have . done ..had they Jbeeo. bona Jde November Tide Table. ' High Water.

Tbey saw him bold lb telephone receiver to his ear with an expression of great interest a if he were listening to an important mes sage. But the only message be beard was that of bis heart beats, that seemed to say almost articulately: "You have pluyed, and yon have lost; yon have played, and you have lost Therefore you are, that much worse off than before. You must play again and not lose!" . '" Ho left bis telephone 'and rushed back to the Sugar crowd. He wa less excited, less like a drunken man; his face was no longer flushed, but pale. And anon there flashed upon him, as If In caudent letters, the words, "Pike's peek or bust!" But Pike's peak glow ed dully, feebly, while the alternative was of a lurid splendor, And be blink ed his eyes snd made a curious Impa tient motion with bis band, as one wave away an annoying Insect lit gave an order for 5,000 Sugar to hi friend, Newton Hartley. "I this for yourself, Bally?" asked Hartley. "No. It's for one of the biggest men In the street, Newt It' all right Ab solutely O. K." And; thus reassured, Hartley bought the stock. The price wa 118. The seller would hold Hartley responsible for the purchase money if Uayward "laid down"-refused to pay. Solly wiped his forehead twice, quite unnecessarily. The short were not stampeding. Any attempt to soli out the 15,000 shares be bad bought would result ouly in depressing the price, Ave points at least It waa Wrse than bad the outlook for him. Ho gave another order to buy 5,000 shares to Billy Lansing, an old and reliable two dollar broker, bnt Lan sing declined It He tried another, but the order was not accepted. Tbey mis trusted bint, but be could not even bluster, for they excused themselves on the ground of having Important orders elsewhere. So be had recourse to an other personal friend J. G. Thompson. "Joe, buy 6.000 Sugar." "Are you sober?" said Thompson se riously. "See for yourself," answered Sally laughingly. He bad nerve. "Old man, I've got a very big order from one of tho biggest men In the street. Borne Importaut developments are going on." "Sally, are you euro you've got an or der for some one else?" asked tbe un convinced broker. His Incredulity was obviously In tbe nature of an Insult, but It was pardonable, for there was too much at stake. "Joe, come over to the office and I'll show you Really, I can't tell you. Bnt I can advise yon, as a friend, to buy Sugar for all you are worth." And a bo uttered tho lie he looked straight Into Thompson's eyes. "Hayward, are you sure? Are you sure you're not making a mistake?" He wanted the commission of $100, bnt he did not feel certain of bis friend. "Oh, hell, no, I've got a lot more to bay. It's all right Go ahead, Joe." ' And Joe went abead. He bought the 9,000 shares. The stock rose to 110V4. and Hayward, warned by his experience with Hartley and Thompson, did not aak either friend or foe to boy another 5,000 shares for him. What he did waa to distribute buying orders for 10,000 shares In lots of 500. Brokers now accepted his orders, for they were not so large as to be dangerous. And the stock rose to 122. A few shorts were frightened. He might win ont after all. He might make Plke'a peak. He began to bid up the stock. He even bought "cash" stock that Is, stock for wblcb be paid caslr, bad to pay cash outright receiving the certificates forthwith, presumably to baud over to some investor of millions. Everybody on the "floor" was talking about Hay ward. Tbe entire market had risen in Bynipathy with Sugar. But at 124 It seemed as if the entire capital stock was for sate. He ceased buying. He bad accumulated SS.000 shares. To pay for the stock necessi tated about $0,000,000. But if he could unload on an average of only 122 he might "come out even" in his other troubles. He gave an order to sell 10,000 shares to a broker to whom he bad always been a good friend. It was a fatal mis take. The broker, Louis W. Wechsler, had previously sold 1,000 shares to Hayward for "cash" at 122. He sus pected what was coming, and, declin ing the order, be himself went to Hay ward's office and asked for a check. The cashier sought to put him off with excuses, and Wechsler, now being cer tain ot the true state of affairs, re turned to the board and began to sell Sugar short for his own account If a crash came he would make a great deal of money, nayward wa sure to be ruined, and Wechsler told himself ophlstlcally that he wa only profiting by the Inevitable. In the meantime Sally had aold the 10,000 share through another broker, and the price had de clined to 121&. But Wechslert 6.000 hares put It down to 120. And some body else Bold more, and the shorts re covered from their fright, and the fa tal hour was approaching when Hay ward would have to settle, Plke'a peak or bust! He did, Indeed, need a verita ble Pike's peak of dollars to pay for the 28,000 Sugar he bad on hand. So he busted. He threw up his hands. He acknowl edged defeat to himself. The tension waa over. Ho was no longer excited, but cool, almost cynical. On one of the little 'slips of paper on which bro kers Jot down memoranda of their transactions he scribbled a message In lead pencil. It was bis last official lie and would cost Hartley and Thompson and other friends as well as his cus tomers many thousands of dollars. It was as follows: "Owing to the refusal of their bank j to extend tho usual facilities to them Hayward & Co. are compelled to an nounce their suspension." "Boy!" he yelled. And ho gave the hit of paper to one of the exchange messenger boys in gsny. "Take this to the chairman." . .:- h And he walked slowly, almost swag gerlngly, out of the New York Stock Exchange--for the last Ume--a8 the chntrmnu pouuded with his gavel until the usual crowd gathered about the li$H$M$$9$'ill8H8$l$$ 3IMIIitmt9 9$8$8lil$t$$$l8$ltHI$m::in$i H AREIM AN has bought li A N JD H E R E ! for Big Terminals.

Good manners are sometime more than a veneer of politeness and con formity with the strict rules of tbe complete book of decorum. Tbey should not be confounded with the fashions. The latter have been described as a perpetual setting up of a certain stand ard of taste "which yesterday was ri diculous because It was so new and to morrow will be ridiculous from Its be ing common." Tbe modes change sud denly and capriciously, at the arbitrary command of some mysterious censor of style. Good manners in the essence survive from generation to generation. The well bred person ot today Is very much like his well bred forbears In es sential things. A man or woman who performs an act of mere politeness awkwardly may exhibit fine manners. Good manners are good conduct accord ing to the time and circumstances. The begrimed son of toll, riding home ward after a weary day, who surren ders bis seat in the crowded car to a woman, to an aged or decrepit person, performs nn net of true gentility which puts to shame many of the gracious things done in polished circles.
