sure that when Jacob Renwyck ex
pressed a candid opinion of any one
especially an Impostor be would find
It difficult to speak tn whispers.- It
was Just as well, on the whole, and
Richard preferred to receive his male
diction out of earshot of bis ladylove,
lie rose with alacrity, therefore, and
followed his host, who led the -way
across the lawn toward a little observ
atory or pleasure bouse on the crest
of a bluff overlooking the moonlit Hud
son. At another time the young man might
have enjoyed the view of the great
calm river sweeping past the shadowy
bills on the farther side, but under the
circumstances the scene did not appeal
to him. There were other thoughts
which occupied his mind. Mr. Ren
wyck walked with his hands clasped
behind blm, and Richard watched bis
every move. Physically the Texan was
more than a match for Mr. Renwyck,
but the latter bad probably armed
himself for the occasion, a trifling pre
caution which would not have escaped
the southerner. And Richard then
and there resolved never again to put
on a pair of trousers that bad no pistol
pocket in them. What did those eastern
tailors know about the requirements
of a gentleman anyway? But then it
flashed into his mind that Mr. Ren
wyck was probably do better provided
than be in that particular reassuring
thought!
Suddenly Mr. Renwyck unclasped
his hands and transferred one of them
to bis breast pocket. Richard caught
sight of a bulging projection it was
there then!
He was on the point of seizing bis
host's wrist when the hitter brought
forth a brown covered case.
"Have a cigar," he said, with crafty
cordiality, and Richard accepted, with
bis gaze still concentrated on Mr. Ren
wyck's bands.
"Llghtr
"Thank you, no," the Texan answer
ed. "I'll smoke It dry for awhile, if
you don't mind."
The trick was an old one. He had
seen it worked along the Rio Grande.
A Mexican had presented a cheroot to
a cow puncher, who, after lighting It,
found himself looking into the muzzle
of an overgrown Colt's and a Texan
learns to profit by observation as wetl
as experience.
Mr. Renwyck now invited his guest
to a seat beside blm on a smooth flat
tone on the edge of the cliff. Richard
accepted, but cautiously slid bis foot
to a point behind Mr. Renwyck's leg,
with the aim of overturning his ene
my backward at the first sign of
treachery.
"Croyland," be began abruptly, "I've
taken a fancy to you somehow, and
I'm going to prove it by putting you
on the inside of a little business deal."
"A business deal?" gasped Richard
tn unfeigned surprise.
"Yes." nodded the old gentleman,
puffing thoughtfully at his cigar. "Of
course I don't know bow you are fixed
financially, nor have I any intention
of asking imoertinent Questions, but If
you care to come with me in a trans
action in which I myself have invested
lareclv I can Dut you in the way of
making quite a snug little sum."
Richard withdrew his foot from be
hind Mr. Renwvck's leg and in the
darkness strove to kick himself. Con
science had made of him not exactly a
onward, but a careful skater on thin
ice.
"That's very clever of you. indeed,1
he .answered, lighting his perfecto and
gazing out across the Hudson. "Is It
what yon call-er a flier?"
"Well, no," said the old financier.
"It's moYe than that. It's a dead cer
tainty, and I'm on the Inside. Let me
explain. To begin with, It is a deep
fvater harbor enterprise In the state of
Texas."
Richard pricked up his ears, and Mr.
Renwyck continued :
"A local company has been organ
ized and styles Itself the Houston,
Matagorda City and Gulf Railroad
and Improvement company." And
Richard recognized the company with
a thrill of excitement. "They're go
lug to net an appropriation from the
legislature for making a deep water
harbor at Matagorda City. They own
all the land In the vicinity and the
right of way for a branch line to con
nect with the railroad systems of Tex
as at Houston. Now, this scheme, all
else belug equal, would be a sweet.
Juicy plum for its promoters. 'But
rnings are not all equal. 1 have learn
ed Its details, and I propose to smash
It"
iio r.olte with a savage emphasis
which revealed his hntre.1 and his de
termination. If hell ha no fury like a
wnmiin scorned, a friend turned cuem;.
la olnwtct na venomous.
"How are you going to do It?" asked
Richard, with growing anxiety.

cany In the field, my boy. backed by
mnnevlnfliipnce Dull. In fact, 1 or
,.(, ,i it tn make a deep water bar-

I rather think the legislative approprt

AnH U Lonirmatt better adapted fot
a. deep water harbor than Matagorda
City?"
"Much better."
"Whv?"
"Because I own all the lana at
Louginatt, and for various reasons that
-er-do credit to Its business acu
men the committee on railroads in the
legislature agrees with me."
"Which means." suggested Richard.
"that the legislature is doing business
at the eame old stand."
Mr. Renwyck laughed.

tie more delicately. The legislature
"And the other company does not
know this?"
"Not a whisper of it"
"But won't it find out from the
legislature?"
"It won't. I am certain of those
Texaa statesmen. They have been
fixed." v
"But I thought"- began Richard,
then stopped suddenly, remembering
that be was not supposed to be np In
American railroading affairs.
"Well?"
"that such matters required much
time red tape and all that sort of
thing, you know."
"Not a bit of It" answered the old
gentleman, rubbing his hands In antic
ipated pleasure. "Now, listen. I have
devised this opposition scheme myself
and know what I'm talking about In
Just two weeks from now the Hous
ton, Matagorda City and Gulf Rail
road and Improvement company's bill
for a deep water harbor at Matagorda
City will le Introduced In the legisla
ture with a great flourish of trumpets
and referred to the railroad committee

time a small ar.d unostentatious lit
tle bill substituting Longmatt for Mat
agorda City will also be quietly slip
ped la by some of my agents. No one
knows me In this connection at all, and
of course you will respect my confi
dence?" "Certainly."
"Well, this bill will be referred and
forgotten by everybody until the last
minute, when the original bill will be
amended, and the large appropriation
will go to Longmatt, too near the end
of the session for any change. The
stockholders of the opposite company
are so certain of success that their
first mortgage bonds have been Issued,
quietly taken up among themselves
and are rising In value every day. But
wait. When the Longmatt scheme Is
assured the bonds of the company
won't be worth a cent. I shall buy
their right of way to Houston for a
song, and well, the state of Texaa will
be greatly benefited, while the other
fellows pay
'Pay Texas?" asked Richard Inno
cently.
"Pay for the fiddler, my boy that is

ly. The old gentleman coolly flicked
