In June M r. P o rte r began discussing summer plans with Evelyn. H * elim i nated him self from thorn; h* could not get away, he aaid. But there was G rant to bo considered. T h e boy waa at school in N ew Hampshire, and Evelyn protested that it w as not wise to subject him to tho intense beat o f a Clarkson summer. T h e first hot w a re sent P orter to bed w ith a trifling Mines« and hia doctor took tho opportunity to look him over and tall him that J t was Imperative fo r him to n o t. Thompson came homo from Arisons to spend the summer. H e and Wheaton w ere certainly equal to th# car* o f the bank, so they urged Porter, and ha finally yielded. Evelyn found n hotel on the Massachusetts North Shore which sound ed w ell In the circulars, and her father agreed to It. When they reached Orchard I « n e be liked It better than he bad ex pected.

I t waa sug gested to him by the inquiries o f a Bos ton banker, who owned a considerable amount o f Clarkson Traction bonds and stock which he waa anxious to sal!. P o r ter gave a discouraging account o f the company, whose history be knew thor oughly. T h e Traction Company had been organised in the boom daye and its stock had been inflated in keeping with the prevailing spirit o f the time. I t was first equipped with the cable system in deference to, the Clarkson h ill« but later tbe company made the introduction o f the trolley an excuse fo r a reorganisation o f Its finances with an even more gen erous Inflation. T h e panic then descend ed any wrought a diminution o f rev enue; the company was unable to make the repairs which constantly became nec essary, and the local management fell into the hands o f a aeries o f corrupt di rectorates. J There had been much" litigation, and some o f tbe Eastern bondholders had threatened a receivership; but the local stockholders made plausible excuse* fo r the default o f Interest when approached amicably, and when menaced grew in solent and promised trouble i f an attempt were made to deprive them o f power. A secretary and a treasurer under one ad ministration had connived to appropriate a large share o f the daily cash receip t« and before they left the office they de stroyed o r concealed tbe books and rec ords o f tbe company. T h e effect mi this was to create a m ystery as to the dis tribution o f th* hoods and the stock. When P orter came home from his sum mer vacation, thV newspapers were d a mending th a t'step s be taken to declare the T raction franchise fo r fe it B a t the franchise had been renewed lately and had twenty years to run. Th is extension had been procured by the element in con trol, and the foreign bondholder« biding their time, were glad to avail themselves o f the political skill o f the local officers. P orter had been casually asked by his Boston friend whether there was any lo cal market fo r the stock or bonds; and he had answered tnat there was n o t ; that the holders o f share* in Clarkson kept what they had because they could no longer sell to one another ami that they ware only w aiting fo r th* larger outside bondholders and shape holders to assert themselves. P orter had ridden down to Boston with his brother banker and when they parted it was with an understand ing that tbe Bostonian was to collect for P o rter the Clarkeon Traction securities that Were held by N ew England banks, a considerable amount. P o rter k n e w ; and he went home with a well-formed plan o f buying th* control o f the com pany. Timas were improving and he had faith in Claifcaaa’a fu tu re; be did not believe in it no noisily as Tim othy M argrave did ; but he knew tbe resources o f the tributary country, and he had, what all successful business men must have, an alert Imagination. I t was not necessary fo r P orter to dis close the fact o f bis purchases to the officers o f the Traction Company, whom he knew to be corrupt and vicious; tbe transfer o f ownership on th* company's books made no difference, aa the original stock books had been destroyed— a fact which had become public property through a legal effort to levy on the holdlaga o f a shareholder la th* interest o f a creditor. Moreover, if ha could help it. Porter never told any on* about anything he did. H * even had several dummies in whose names be frequently held securities and real estate. One o f these waa Peckham, a clerk in the office o f Fentea, P orter’s lawyer.' tlon o f tUirty-thres on anything; the neareet approach was Clarkson Traction Company at thirty-fire. The check which had interested him had been dated three daye before, and ha looked back to the quotation lint fo r that date. Traction was given at thirty-three. Wheaton was pleased by the discovery; It was a fair assumption that P orter waa buying Shares o f Clarkson T ra c tio n ; he wouk) hardly be buying foreign securities through Peck ham. T h e stock had advanced tw o points since It had been purchased, and this, too, was interesting. Clearly, P o r ter knew what he wa* about— he had a reputation for know ing; and if Clarkson Traction wag a good thing fo r the preel- dent to pick up quietly, why waa it not a good thing for the cashier? H e waited a d a y ; 'fraction went to thirty-alx. Than ha called a fter banking hours at the o f fice o f a real estate dealer who also dealt In local stocks and bond« on a small scale. H e chose this man because he waa not a customer o f the bank, and had never had any transaction« with the bank or with Porter, ao far aa W heaton knew. H ie name was Burton, and ha welcomed W heaton cordially. H e waa alone In his office, and a fte r an interchange o f cou rtesie« W heaton came directly to the point o f hi* errand. “ Some friends o f mine in the country own a «m all amount o f Traction stack ; they’ ve written me to gnd out what Its prospect« are. O f course in the bank we know in a general way about It, but 1 suppose you handle such things and I want to get good advice for my fr ie n d «” “ W ell, the truth is." «aid Burton, fi*t- C H A P T E R X. W heaton had not long been an officer e f tbe bank before be began to be aware that there waa considerable mystery about Porter’* outside transactions. P o r ter occasionally perused with much In terest several email memorandum books which * he kept carefully locked in bis desk. T b e president often wrote letters with his own hand and copied them him self a fter bank boura, In n private letter- bosk. Wheaton was naturally curious a* to what these outside interests might be. I t bad plquad him to find that w hile he waa cashier o f the band ha waa net con sulted la its larger transactions; and that o f P orter’s personal affaire ho M m * act. One afternoon shortly a fter Portae’s re turn from th* East, Wheaton, who wa* w aiting fo r soma letters' to sign, picked up a bundle e f checks from tbs desk of one o f the Individual bookkeeper« They were P orter’s personal checks which had that day been paid and were now being charged to his private account.
