Wheaton's hand rested again on the packet before him ; he had flushed to the temples, but the color slowly died out of his face. It was very still in the room, and the watchman could be heard walk ing across the tiled lobby outside. A pa trol wagon rattled In the street with a great clang of its gong. Wheaton had moved the brown parcel a little nearer to the edge of the table; Margrave no ticed this and for the first time took a serious interest in the packet. He was not built for quick evolutions, but he made a sudden movement around the ta ble toward Wheaton, who was between him and the door. "What you got In that paper, Jim?" he asked, puffing from his exertion. Wheaton did not speak, but he picked up the parcel and took a step toward the door, Margrave advancing upon him. Wheaton reached the door, holding the package under his arm. "Don't touch ma; don't touch me," he said, hoarsely. Margrave still came to ward him. Wheaton's unengaged hand went nervously to hisHhroat, and he fum bled at his tie. The sweat came out on his forehead. It was a curious scene, the tall, dark man in his evening clothes, pitiful In his agitation, with his back gainst the door, hugging the bundle under one arm ; and Margrave, In his rough business suit, walking toward Wheaton, who retreated before him. "I want that package, Jim." "Go away! go away!" The sweat shone on Wheaton's forehead In great drops. "I can't, I can't you know I can't !" "You coward !" said Margrave. "I want that bundle." He made a gesture and Wheaton dodged and shrank away. Margrave laughed again ; a malicious mirth possessed him. But he grew sud denly fierce and Mb fat fingers closed about Wheaton's neck. Wheaton huddled against the door, holding the brown pack et with both hands. "Drop it! Drop It!" blurted Mar grave. He was breathing hard. A sharp knock at the door against which they struggled caused Margrave to spring away. He walked down the room several paces with an assumption of carelessness, and Wheaton, with the bundle still under his arm, turned the knob of the door. "Hello, . Wheaton !" called Fenton, blinking In the glare of the lights. "Good evening," said Wheaton. "How're you, Fenton," said Margrave, carelessly, but mopping his forehead with his handkerchief. "Here are your papers," said Wheaton, almost thrusting his parcel into the law yer's hands. "All right," aid Fenton, looking curi ously from one to the other. And then he glanced at the package, as if absent mindedly, and saw that the seal was un broken. "Good night, gentlemen," he said. "Sor ry to have disturbed you." "How much Traction was in that pack age?" asked Margrave, closing the door. "I don't know," said Wheaton, smooth ing his tie. The watchman could be heard closing the outside door on Fen ton. "No, I don't think you do," returned Margrave. "You'd fixed It pretty well with Fenton. If be'd only been a minute later I'd have got that bundle. I didn't realize at first what you had there, Jim, until you kept fingering It so desperate ly. Now there are those share you own, Jim. I hope we won't be interrupted while you're getting them for me." Wheaton hesitated. "I'm going from here to the Gazette office. You know they do what I tell 'em over there. They'd like a little . story about the aristocratic Wheaton family of Ohio. Porter's girl would like that for breakfast to-morrow morning." Wheaton hung between two Inclina tions, one to make terms with Margrave and assure his friendship at any hazard, the other to break with him, let the con sequences be what they might. "Hurry up," said Margrave Impatient ly; "this Is my busy night and I can't wait on yon. Dig It up." Wheaton's hand went slowly to his pocket. As he drew out his own certifi cate with nervous fingers, the certificate which Evelyn Porter had given him an hour before fell upon the table. "That's the right color," said Mar grace, snatching the paper as Wheaton sprang forward to regain it "Not thatl not that! That isn't mine !" Margrave stepped back and swept the face of the certificate with his eyes. "Well! I knew you stood next, Jim," he said, Insolently, "but. I didn't know that you were on such confidential terms as all this. And you witnessed the sig nature. How sweet and pretty it all is !" The paper exhaled the faint odor-of satchet, and Margrave lifted it to his nostrils with mockery of delight. "I must have that, Margrave. I will do anything, but I must have that You wouldn't " Margrave watched bitn maliciously, thoroughly enjoying his terror. "How do you know I wouldn't? Give me the other one, Jim." Still Wheaton held bis own certificate ; he believed for a moment that be could trade the one for the other. "I'm not going to fool with you much longer, Jim; you either give me that cer tificate or I go to the Gazette office straight as I can walk. Just sign It In blank, the way the other one U. I'll witness It all right." Wheaton wrote while Margrave stood rer him, holding ready blotter which he applied to Wheaton's signature with unnecessary care. ''I hope this won't cause you any in convenience with the lady, but you're un doubtedly a fair liar and you can fix that all right, particularly" with a chuckle "if the old man cashes in." Wheatou followed Margrave's move ments as if under a spell that he could not shake off. Margrave walked toward the door with an air of nonchalence, pulling on his gloves. "I haven't my check-book with me, Jim, but I'll settle for your stock and Miss Evelyn's, too, after I get things re organized. It'll be worth more money then. Please give the young lady my compliments," with irritating suavity. He stopped, smoothing the backs of his gloves placidly. "That's all right, Jim, ain't it?" he asked, mockingly. "I hope you're satisfied," said Whea ton, weakly. "I'm never satisfied," said Margrave, picking up his hat. Wheaton wished to make a bargain with him, to secure his own Immunity ; but he did not know how to accomplish it. Margrave had threatened him, and he wished to dull the point of the threat, but he was afrnid to ask a promise of him. Wheaton did not follow him to the door, but Margrave seemed in no hurry to leave. The watchman went forward to let him out at the side entrance. "If he'd only been sure the oold man would have died to-night," he reflected as he walked up the street, "he'd have given me Porter's shares, easy." He went to his office, entertaining himself with this pleasant speculation. "If I'd got out of the bank with that package he'd never dared squeal," he presently concluded. CHAPTER XVI. John Saxton was a good deal the worse for wear as he swung himself from a sleeper in the Clarkson station and bolt ed for a down-town car. Coal mining Is a Irty business, and there are limits to the things that can be crowded into a HIS FINUEBS CLOSUU A lllllllll ! liliBilliillllliSjlil II IY' W ' YY' f ;s:i: Y- r.: m suit-case. He had been crawling through four-foot veins of Kansas coal in the in terest of the Neponset Trust Company, and bad been delayed a day longer than he had expected. He continued to be In a good deal of a hurry after he reached his office, and he kicked aside the mail which rustled under the door as be open ed it, and knelt hastily before the safe and began Tattling the tumblers of the combination. He pulled out a long en velope and then with more composure consulted his watch. It was half-past eight. He took from his memorandum calendar the leaf for the day; on it be had posted a cutting from a local newspaper announcing the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Clarkson Traction Company. The meet ing was to be held, so the notice recited, between the hours of 0 a. m. and 5 p. m. of the second Tuesday lof November, at the general offices of the company in the city of Clarkson. The Exchange Build ing was specified, though the adminis trative offices of the company were on the other side of town. Before setting forth Saxton examined his papers, which were certificates of stock in the Clarkson Trac tion Company. They had been sent to him by a personal friend in Boston, the trustee of an estate, with instruction to Investigate and report. Having received them just as he was leaving for Kansas, there bad been no opportunity for con sulting Porter or Wheaton, his usual ad visers iu perplexing matters. Traction stock had advanced lately, despite news paper attacks on the company, auu he hoped to sell his friend's shares to ad vantage. Saxton had never been In the Ex change Building before and he poked about In the dark' upper floors, uncer tainly looking for the rooms described in the advertisement. Another man, also peering about In the hall, ran against him. "Beg pardon, but can you tell me " "Good morning, Mr. Buxton, are you acquainted in this rookery?" It was Fenton, wbo carried a brown parcel un der his arm and appeared annoyed. "No; but I'm learning," John answer ed. "I'm looking for the offices of the Traction Company. Its light seems to be hid under a bushel." "I'm looking for It, too," said Fenton. "Some humorist seems to have changed the numbers on this floor." They traversed the halls of several floors In an effort to find the numbers specified In the notice. Fenton occasion ally kicked at a door In his rage. Sax ton called to him presently from a dark corner where he held up a lighted match to read the number on the transom. "Here's our number, but there's do name on the door." Fenton advanced upon the doo with long strides, but it did not open as oe grasped the kuob. He kicked it sharply, but there was still no response from with in. "What time is It, Saxton?" he asked over his shoulder, without abating his pounding or knocking. "Five minutes of nine." Saxton was aware now that something important was in progress. He did not know Fenton well, but he knew that he was the attor ney for Porter and the Clarkson Nation al, and that he was a serious character who did not beat on doors unless he had business on the inside, Fenton now called out loudly, demanding admission. There was a low sound of voices and a sharp noise of chairs being pushed over an un carpeted floor; but the knob which Fen ton still held and shook did not turn. On the inside of the door Timothy Margrave and Horton, the president, liarnes, the secretary, and Perclval, the treasurer of the Clarkson Traction Com pany, were holding the annual meeting of that corporation,' In conformity with its articles of association, and according to the duly advertised notice as required by the statutes in such case made and provided. They had, however, antici pated the hour slightly ; but this was not, Margrave said, an important matter. His notions of the proper way of holding busiuess meetings were based on his long experience in managing ward primaries. Horton, the president, called the meet ing to order. "Well, boys," said Margrave, "there ain't any use waiting on the other fel lows. Business is business and we might as well get through with it. 1 vote twenty-five hundred and ninety-seven shares of the common stock of this com pany ; you gentlemen haven't more than that, have you?" The fact was that the three officers present owned only one share each. "I move," said Barnes, "that we pro ceed to the election of officers for the ensuing year." "And I move," said Percival, "that the :!;;;::;S:::4;;:;: mm lillill HOLT WUEATO.N'B NECK. secretary be instructed to cast the ballot of the stockholders for Timothy Margrave for president.' "Consent,' exclaimed Barnes, hurried ly. Steps could be heard in the outer hall, and Margrave looked at his watch. "I move that we adjourn to meet at my office at two o'clock, to conclude the election of officers' He gathered up his certificates and prepared to leave. (To be continued.) Too Wine to Be Ilaatr. He was an unruly youngster. A writer In the New York Sun says that he had not been in the car five min utes before all the women present and most of the men were explaining to anybody who would listen what they would do with the boy if he belonged to them. To the general babel there was. one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unrufiled by the small tem pest raging. "If that child belonged to me," said the woman beside her, "I'd make him mind tr I had to bait kill him, wouldn't you?" "I don't know," said the quiet wom an. "I don't know what I should do." "You don't?" exclaimed the positive woman. "Well, I know. But then, maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never' had any of your own?' "Oh, yea," said the little woman, "I brought up thirteen. That's why J don't know what I should do." Similar Syraplonis.
