and people were- lott In conjecture to
what tliAt could be.
Tlw amall followed d Vallar, M. IV
bot ml Herr (loldttcln lo the very en
trance of th lloitrae. I'uable to obtain
admUtton to the tloor, hu hail recourse to J
i ho cillery. It wa nearly empty. An
old lady ml young coup from th
country. rrdK-ntlv on ttitlr houenuoon
trip, were sole occtiwtit. II at In Government Final l!tlmte Shows
GRAIN CROPS SHORT,
BUT WORTH FAR MORE
CttAITKIt XIV.
The Vleonuo il Vallar waa seated alone
In his private room In tho office of the
. Mutual Credit and Trust Company. It
waa a luxuriously furnlthcd apartment.
Th chain were deep, roomy and soft.
They warned mad on purres to lull one
' Into feeling of security. It waa about
ten o'clock In th morning. Th rlcotnte'a
private secretary had Jut retired loaded
down with papers and Instruction. IIU
employer Mt at th table, a idle ot docu
ments on either aide, and More him a
single sheet, upon which an astonishing
array of figure appeared,
Mlnnte after nilnut pauM, and still
tho calculation wit on. At lat h threw
down hi pencil, and walked over to th
window. Partly concealed by the cur
tain, he looked out on th throne ot peo
ple which pad up and down the atreet.
Hut he hardly noticed anybody, lie waa
really loot In hla reflection.
He had. Indeed, rood reason to be
thoughtful. A gigantic scheme, the float
Ine of which would Inture him very large
returns, had that very tnornlnf been put
by him before a syndicate ot capital!!.
It waa no ten a one than th consolida
tion ot tha docking Interest ot a treat
French aeaport. Th plan waa to brine
all the ownera together and form a truit
oa what la known aa the American plan,
and then rata the dock toll. With the
existing keen competition and the low
charge resulting therefrom, that property
at present yielded but a amall return for
the capital Invested.
The Idea waa a brilliant on. It would
net the Mutual Credit and Traat Com
pany, If tucceatfol, three million franca,
and the Mutual Credit and Truit Com
pany virtually meant tha Ylcomta A Va
llar. He had already enllrted conaldera
ble flnancial aid In support ot the scheme,
II waa that moraine expecting an addi
tion to hl force In the person of M.
D'Auburon. the friend of that rery naeful
M. Chabot, who had Introduced him to
th rlcoate but a few day previously.
To tell this younc man a bit block of
bare In th new enterprise, would, the
rlcomte thought, not be a very difficult
task. He had entertained him at his
bouse only an ermine or two ago. The
splendor of that occaa'on could not hare
failed to properly Itnr-reaa Mm.
Then hla wife, the Tlcomte, had so
ably seconded hi efforts to make D'Au
buroo feel that be was In eood hand. She
had talked ellWy ot their country place, a
wacnIScent establlahment on th outskirts
ot the famous forest of Fontalnbleau, of
woodland ride, ot moonlit waters, and
tbe felicities ot rural life far away trot
the roar aad din ot rati. Those marvel
ous ryea of hers had looked Into hi very
oul and enthralled hla sent.
m Vallar smiled aa be thoncht how
few who bad com within their Influence
had rotten away unscathed. A knock at
tho door aroused him.
"Come In," h cried out. and Jules Cba
twt entered the room.
"Where Is your frienJ D'Auburonl"
was de Valiar'a first question.
M. Chabot did not Immediately reply,
lie sank Into a chair. II eemel anx
ious and worried, and out ot aorta.
"What on earth's the matter with youT
You're not III, are youl" ejaculated the
banker.
"It's my nerrc. I think. They're not
ao strooe a they used lo be."
"You haven't been yourself for some
thne, ever aUire that uely affair at Yllle
neuve," remarked d Vallar, sympathet
ically. Chabot shuddered, and hid his tare In
hla hands aa it to shut out some horrible
alcht.
"Iton't speak of it." be almost whis
pered, so falat aa his voice. "Yes, It
was enoughlo upset anybody."
"It waa a peculiar hardtblp on you.
Jules, just as you were on the point of
uccredlne as you say with let me e,
what's her name Mademoiselle. Kmlly,
"'""rrt' chine th subject. I came lo
tell you somethtne about D'Auburon, I
have dlacovered, on Inquiry, that be Is
even better fixed than I expected. How
tic a block of stock bad you put apart
for him In the United lock Company!"
"A thousand ahares I thought would b
ample. You know CoIbrt-Ilemp)in brine
us a tare followlne. and there are Horn
iiard and the rrt. Still, some ubcrib
era wilt doubtless fall us at tbe last mo
inent. Why do you atkl"
"It Is not enoueh. lie has some rery
wealthy friend. Only last night he was
apeak ine of one, who, be says, follows his
lead implicitly. He U a Swiss. He pays
periodical visits to l'arla, and It la said
Invent very lareely In anything that
striken his fancy."
That' not bad nea. What I this
Crwua' nam!"
"He did not tell m." replied Chabot.
"He simply said If bo tbouebt aell enoueh
of. the venture lo put hi own money In,
tliat be would advUe bi friend to do like-
wlae, It we needed additional capital.
'What ar share to blni!"
"Far of rourae. It Is eaakr to sell at
Kr than at fifteen franca on tbe on hun
dred. Th one inspires confidence In a
acbem. th other simply excite suspi
cion. In fact, I'm not aure but w will
put some ptvntluni on these Dock Com
pany share. A little premium always
"make them more attractive."
"Hut there are seven million of water
Ite It."
"A proof concern Ilk this dock trust
will stand a eood deal of water," replied
'th financier. "After all. what doe It
matter! All the peopU.wlll have a
cbaac ta sell out at a profit wha w de
taW aw- trvt trtvly dlvHaad. The
Hm f want to make ue of In th fu
ture ran be elven a hint when to unload
their holdlne."
-Hut ultimately the loss falls on some
body." "And that somebody Is the public who
cares for Us wellabout a much aa wa
car for them,"
M. Chabot remained cloaeUM with th
banker for nearly an hour, settllne th re
malnlnc details ot th dock scheme, A
printed draft ot th prospectus had to
be eon over; the flrat director of th
company had to b chosen, car belnc tak
en to piac npon th board the name of
such capitalists aa would Inspire th pub
lic with confidence.
"let me see." said the banker, runntnjr
his eye rapidly over a llat which h
held In hi hand. "We have I.lquelet.
Rouent. of Uoutent : the elder 1'altols
be ta rood; and Max Itaumont say h Is
with u In cat w eet to an lasue. The
remainder of th board mutt b elven to
th dock people. They will, ot course,
expect om reprrwntatlon."
"To be sure," acquiesced Chabot. "but
w must contrive to have with ua only
those who are open to areuments."
"Ye, that Is It, my friend: open to
areuments." echoed the tlcomte.
"Ot your usually prualv kind." add
ed Chabot "Kvcry man has hla price, to
be aure, nowadays."
"And always did bar. In the time,
commercial enterprises, my dear fellow,
attum proportions of which our ances
tors neter dreamed. They were Juit as
dlahoneat then. It you call manipulation
dishonesty, which I candidly confeas I
uon t out their Ideas wer smaller.
Hence the difference.' Itealdea," b added,
lajlne hla hand Impreaaively upon th
other' sleeve, "thl thine must eo
throuch. I think you. abor all other,
are aware of th necessity. The fact It.
my dear Chabot, ther hav been many
heavy nulls on lb Mutual Credit bank
lately. One cannot offer eleht per cent on
special deposits and always be sure of
rcaklne more by utlnc the depositors'
money. Then ther was the dividend on
tbe Ardenne Charcoal and Teat Com
pany. You know It waa never earned;
but wedeclded that It would be beat to
pay one."
"Well, th consequence was you placed
th bond at par, didn't youT"
"At par to th public, of course, bnt
Herr Goldstein's rommlialon took the rllt
off the eineerbread. However, be took
them all at elchty-five. I coald not have
placed them In such eood adrantace."
"Tbe intrrrtt come du on the six
teenth. I tonw it Is uselea to croas
that brldxe until w com to It."
"Uefore the sixteenth this dock com
pany will be floated. The bank's profit
on that will more than meet the interest
of tbe Charcoal and l'eat Company
bonds."
"And If It Isn't Coated)- hazarded
Chabot.
"If It Isn't floated th Inevitable craah
will begin, or It can b averted In an
other way, my dear Chabot, about which
I cannot talk at present. Hut we will not
anticipate evil. Come, you must accom
pany me to th Hourm thl. moraine. I
have a heavy deal pendlne. and shall need
our assistance."
Aa the Vk-omte d Vallar and Jute
Chabot left th office of the Mutual
Credit and Trust Company a amall-alxed
man luurd from a cafe on tbe opposite
side of lb street and walked In an ap
parently rarrlcwrand preoccupied manner
in the sum direction. He followed them
until they turned Into a broker's otfice.
Presently tbey came forth a fa In. and In
company with a third person continued to
walk In lb direction ot tbe Hourse.
Thl third person wa Herr Max Cold
stein, on of the shrewdest dealer In se
curities la tbe whole of I'aris. He waa
the broker to whom thn rlcomte had en
trusted tb sale of lb first morteac
bond ot lb Ardenne Charcoal and l'eat
Company. He was a heavy, thickset fel
low, with little, cunnlne eye, which bail
been set together aa closely as nature
would allow; bad not an enormous no
frown between tbem, he would perhap
hare bad only one tare rye In tbe center.
He had a bablt of rorkine up bi head
when In conversation, and of listening
with hit mouth wiile open. He had com
menced life In Iterlln aa a bootblack with
a second-hand outfit. At the conclusion
of tbe first 'lay's work be bad accumu
lated enoueh to buy tbe beat outfit In the
city. In a aeek be had concluded that
open air work waa not lo bla llklne, and
took bl bualneaa off th atreet Into a
basement, where be thrited apace.
Then the brilliant Idea struck him of
buyine and sellinc theater tickets at cut
rate. From this he era listed Into lot'
terle: from lotteries into amall corb
atone speculation. Hardly able to write
hi oan nam, the Iradlne Instinct was so
stronely developed In blm that In ten
j ear be bad accumulated a very consid
erable fortuue.
Why Herr Goldntrlu bad not continued
I me si hit j- ir upnnni in nu nour, ills

chance, her the rlcomte, th broker
eer at his elbow, moved retlely from
eroup to eroup, manlpulatlnt hi deal.
When Herr (lobNtrln left th Hours
twenty minute later unaccompaulcd by
hi compaulotp, tha small man tapped him
on lb elbow. Tb broker started vio
lently; the crease In hla face crew
atrongtr; a perceptible flush overspread
his feature
"Oalllard!" he eped. "I'm tlad to

"A rood a hand at a II as ever, ain't

"Hush, don't breath that name here,"
whispered th broker, looking around blm
nervously. That belones to the past.
Com with me. Come to my office, where
we can be alone. How lone bat you
been In Pari!"
"About lx months.
"Durine which time "
"Durlne which tlm t hav been work

"I don't know. You hav eot Into

would suit you. would It not7T
"No, I bar a pretty eood berth, thank
you."
"It Is a perfect eold mln for you;
It you will only hold your tqofu."
Th small man only smiled- slentncantly.
Tbe two walked on aid by std until
th broker's office was reached.
"Com In," said the broke!, In a coax
In voice, "and tell m what you want."
The smalt man passed In tbroufh th
open door and went Into tb broker
office.
"See that under no clrcumstancea am I
disturbed," was the Instruction Herr Max
eav to his clerk. "I hav Important
buslne with this eentleman."
Four o'clock come, and Herr Gold
stein came out and cent th clerk bom.
It was an hour earlier than usual, but
th clerk waa clad to et away. H lived
In a amall fiat and had a wife and four
children to support. He could takt hi

Herr Ooldttrlu wa about forty-five
year of aee. but looked considerably
older. Coostant ficbtlne with all sort

that without doubt he waa a very unprc
