Tnli breezy but otherwise unremark
able Item caught the attention of one
Jack Bibbs, a gentleman possessed of
much Ingenuity, some varied experi
ence, quite a collection of allaaea and
passion for acquisition. He bad re
ceived no Invitation to the above men

to profit thereby In ways beat known
to himself.
Mr. Michael Corrlgan. returning from
business meeting In the city, took
the 12 o'clock train for Irvlngton and
wct Into the amoker, where be seated
himself and lighted a short black pipe,
the pet aversion of bis refined broth-er-ln-lnw,
Jacob Renwyck, who visited

In the city evidently pleased Uncle Mi
chael vastly, for Unit gentleman kept
chuckling to himself and rubbing bis
plump white bauds In the manner of
one upon whom good fortune baa de
scended suddenly.
After a time his attention was ar
rested by two men on the seat oppo
site lilin. They were engaged In a
whispered conversation while they ate
their lunch from a brown paper parcel.
To a casual observer there was noth
ing unusual In the appearance of the
two passengers. Tbey were roughly
clad, unshaven and apparently poor,
having the air of worklngmen out of
a Job. Mr. Corrlgan would probably
have not noticed them at all except
that one of them the better looking,

physical blemish which the old gentle
man bad ever regarded as a sort of

tramps and was about to order blm
off the place when something changed
bis mind. The fellow bad a cast In his
eye. He recognized blm Instantly. It
truck the pld gentleman at one as
being singular that thla man should
claim to be atarvlng wben not two
hours before he had been eating heart
ily from a brown paper parcel In the
train. Tramps did not usually travel
by train not Inside of them, at any
rate which waa au additional cause
for suspicion. Uncle Mlrlinel deter
mined to luvoetlgate the matter fur

of the house, where a pla.e of bread

departed, while Miss Harriet looked

Iteally, I am beginning to be quite

"My dear young lady," tb Texan
answered In a ton half banter, batf
In earnest, which was deeper than sbe
dreamed, "If you should wish It I'd
gladly become er a kangaroo."
Again Miss Renwyck laughed till
the silvery echoes reached the ears of
Michael Corrlgan, who lounged on the
front veranda.
"By George," be chuckled to him
self as be rubbed bis bands In tbe
manner characteristic of him, "that
young man hi making progress!"
In tb evening when Mr. Renwyck
came up from tb city Mr. Cvrrlgan
took him aside and related tk day's
experience with tb tramp, suggesting
that a detective be employed while tbe
valuable lot of dlamouds waa In tbe
bouse. Tbe two gentlemen, bas al
ready been stated, never g on to
gether peaceably. If ose of TWm of
fered a suggestion tbe other fouud rea
son to combat It vigorously, and In this
case Mr. Renwyck took tbe opposite
side with a vengeance, poobpoohlng
tbe possibility of tbett from start to
finish.
"Why. my dear Michael," be said lu
a tone of undisguised scorn, "what you
say Is nonsense, pur and simple. Tbe
bouse Is equipped from top to bottom
with a perfect system of burglar
alarms, which I set myself each nlgbf.
Unless there Is collusion with some
person on tbe lusld I not only defy
any light fingered gentleman to enter,
but I give him a cordial Invitation to
try. No, slrl If you want to put a
Catling gun In your own bouse, do so
by all means. In mine I have no room
for artillery or an army of rinkertons.
Now, don't yon see how absurd you

"All right." assented Mr. Oamgan.
"I've warned you, and that's ail I've
got to say. Tboy'r aot niy diamonds'
"Just watt a moment, Michael." said
Mr. Renwyck, walking after him. "1
want to show you what an Idiotic
stand you have taken. Ton say tb
man bas a cast In hie eye. Very good;
I'll admit that, but I venture to say
tbat In tb stat of New Tork there
a re from twenty to thirty thousand
people' with casts la their eyes. Tou
claim that It Is a mark of rascality. I
don't agree wltb you. My own father
bad a cast In bis eye."
"Don't donbt It In the least" snapped
Mr. Corrlgan. "Tbsf eiplalns It l'v
often wondered"
"Come, come," laughed Un
wyck; "you gain nothing by barnc per
sonal. Itut listen. You saw a rasa In
the train though you confess you
only glsnced at him and Immediately
recognised blm as a bristly murderer
who hss committed the crime of being
hungry. Did you see murderer No. 1
get off the train? No, of course not.
He Is probably dining in the bosom of
bis bumble but honest family, while
you, my dear sir, are aching to ilsp
him In the penitentiary." Mr. Ren
wyck paused to luugh. "Really, Mi
chael, you amuse me. Age Is respon
sible for bad eyesight perhaps, but It
Is your poor old lira In that troubles
mo. You have developed luto a fussy
old woman-Miss Michiielu Corrlgan,
spinster, sixty-oue and afraid to say
'boo' to a but."
The old lawyer paused sudileuly lu
his walk and thrust the ferrule of bis
cane deep luto the gravel path.
"Jacob," he said In a tone of sup
pressed anger, "tliat w ill do. You have
gone Just a little too fur. 1 told you
what I thought without any wish for
au argument, ami now I'll tell you
something else. I don't care whether
you lose your diamonds and plate ot
not. What's more, I hope you will,
tiissl night."
He had Intended staying for dinner,
but changed liW mind and swung rap
Idly u way, while Mr ltenwyck looked
after him, laughing merrily.
"Oh, I say, Michaeln!" he called.
"Omit forget to look under your bod
tonight. Yon might find a btirg'.ir
with a cast In his eye "
Tor once Mr. lienwyck hud giit the
belter of his brother-in-law, and tin
fact pleased blm Immensely.
"The poor old granny!" he muttered
as be went Into the bouse. "Vpon my
word. I'm astonished at blm!"
It may Is- slated thai, contrary te
Mr. t'orrlgan's tint denial, that gentle
man did lake further Interest In th
possible burglary. If only to prove his
own theory, on tbe following night
three private detective came out to
Irvlngton ami stole separately to the
lawyer's house. About 11 o'clock, ac
companied by Mr. Corrlgan In person,
they concealed themselves at various
points of vantage on the Renwyck
place and awaited developments. The
night was damp and glisuuy - mivst
excellent weather conditions for a
housebreaking party, tint with disad
vantages for amateur detectives at the
advanced age of s'y one Beyond a
touch of rheumatia Mr. Ccr-tgiu
bagued notMnu. and '.,. morning
found hlui a .;, -ci :d old gen
tleman. However, there was a humor
jus side to the vigil, and with thla the
old lawyer consoled himself.
"Lordr be chuckled. "The Joke's on
me this time, but I wouldn't have Ja
cob find It out no, not for a thousand
lollars cash."
Meanwhile Mr. Renwyck, having
scored decisively on, Cncle Michael,
enjoyed his dinner as a victor should.
Be was in the best of spirits, not alone
because of bis triumph, but because of
certain cheerful developments which
bad come to light at the meeting of
the stockholders of his new deep water
harbor company. He was so elated
over his certain success tbat be cast
out broad hints which were mystifying
enigmas to all present with the excep
tion of lllchard. who understood only
too well. To blm tbey meant tbe col

Dinner was scarcely over when call
ers were announced. They were old
friends of the family, claiming tbe at
tention of Mr. and Mrs. Renwyck and
Miss Bchermerly, which left the four
young people to their own devices.
For this Richard thanked tbe visitors

by tbe horns of a fractious steer. Ho
found It Imperative to examine ber

Miss Harriet struck and held In her
unwounded hand, and the physician,
therefore, required a much, longer time
than he might have taken under more
favorable circumstances. At length he
was forced to admit reluctantly that
neither was there any danger of lock
Jaw nor was he studying palmistry,
yet as the Inst match went out he ap
plied a remedy by pressing the afflict

True. Miss Harriet had snatched bel

Richard bad nothhi'T pwnially to four,
-that bis secret was sti'.l his own.
Afier a time his host wiped his eyes
with bis hundkerchlef and apologized
for his merriment.
"Forgive me. Lord Croyland." be
begged; "but, to tell you the truth. I
Just can't help It Affairs In Tex
as are not only drifting my way, but
the whole situation bas become Intense
ly humorous. Why, it is a regular
play. Old BUI Williams represents
tragedy, my company will shortly sup
ply melodrama, while s third corpora
tion bas appeared on tbe stage and Is
furnishing both sides wltb comedy.
Let me explain."
"Do so, I beg you," murmured Rich
ard, striving not to lookys uncom
fortable as he always feltjwben this
Texas business came up. wThe finan
cier laughed again and proceeded:
"As I told you before, BUI Williams'
company Is working for a doep water
harbor at Matagorda City, while my
company Is equally anxioua to operate
St Longmatt. Very well. Now, listen.
I learned today tbat a new corpora
tion was organized last month under
the laws of the state of New Jersey
whlcb styles Itself the Peace and Good
Will Realty company. Think of It!
The very name will kill It In Its teeth
ing stage."
"Who are back of this corporation?"
iked Richard, greatly Interested in
this new development.
"I don't know. They are probably
so ashamed of themselves that their
names are kept secret," laughed Mr.
Renwyck.
"But I thought the lnconorntors"
"Dummies, like my own company,
only In this case all of them are real
dummies in fact as well u In theory."
"I see."
"It develops that the promoters of
this company, whoever they may lie.
have gone down to Texas and invested
their capital in the state's largest and
most ' generous prtsluct."
"And what is that?" asked Richard
In some surprise.
"Hot air," returned Mr. Renwyck In
a paroxysm of mirth. "It's cheap, but
they seem to want It."
"I don't quite understand."
"I will enlighten you. They have a
ministerial looking representative of
the uame of Flshcall, whose Innocence
can only tie described as infantile.
This precious old lamb called upon a
firm of promoters, Hill k Eaton, who
in strict confidence happen to be my
agents, and asked their advice with re
gard to a locution for a deep water
harbor on tbe Texas gulf coast they
Intend to construct with the assistance
of a hoped for legislative appropria
tion." Once more Mr. Renwyck was
so overcome by amusement that be
was forced to pause In his story. "Now,
my company I myself, you under
stand?" he tgau at length.
"Of course," said Richard, bowing.
"bas beeu saddled for a long time
with an utterly worthless tract of land
along the gulf a miserable, sun baked
little hole rejoicing In tbe name of
Olivia, which lies midway between
Matagorda City and Longmatt, by tbe
way. Through Hill & Eaton we ad
vised Brother Flshcall to buy this
tract, which bless my soul he did at
once nnd at our own price!"
The amused speculator glanced at
Richard and, mistaking bis gloom for
a phlegmatic British lack of humor,
went on:
"It seems also that thereafter the
Teace and (lood Will Realty com
pany went to Hill Williams and asked
his advice. The old skinflint also own
ed a lot of land around Olivia, which
he promptly worked off on his confid
ing lienefnctors. Now, look here, Croy
land. you don't seem to appreciate the
Joke."
"Itut, my dear sir." begau Richard,
forgetting his role for a moment,
"Olivia Isn't such a bud er I mean
-er"
"Such a bad sale for me. eh?" laugh
ed Mr Renwyck, uuooiselously help
ing his guest out of a hole. "I should
sny not! Why, my boy, we've sold a
white elephant!"
Richard thought swiftly. Olivia, as
he was alsuit to tell Mr. Renwyck.
wus not such a bad site for n deep wa
ter harbor after nil. nnd In fact he had
always contended with Ills father that
It was more udvautugcously located
fcr that pu-poM' than Matagorda City.
Not o:i'y was the situation more cen
tral, but It offered shorter ami more
direct eoinmi'nliir.i.,i vviih freight
routes and main lines. True, the
country was sparsely populated In Its
vicinity, but sot tier. n.ml! come nat
urally with the dovelo; :uent of such
an enterprise. IV1 hups the Peace
and Hood Will Realty company's rep
resentative was not such au egregious
ass us the Renwyck and Williams fac
tious supposed.
"Has the new company. In your opin
ion, uny chance of success?" he asked
bis host.
"Chance!" laughed Mr. Renwyck.
"Not a ghost of it! Now. listen. Here
comes the . ream of the Joke. The time
for taking a vote on these doep water
harbor Mils in the Texas legislature
had been set for two weeks from now.
but various circumstance have played
d'.r.vily lni l:;y bauds. Senator Frank
Kinwait. president of the Texas state

"You-jou mean." stammered Rich
ard, "that you have bought Klnwalt-
that"- j
"Tut. tut!" protested the crafty old .
schemer. "True. I bought the geutie
man a lunch at Sherry's, together with
a few cigars, a couple of cold bottles,
and there were some Incidental ex
peuses whlcb ran tbe price of the meal
up well, up Into six figures, but be
yond this"- Mr. Renwyck paused and
smiled. "No one iu this euligbtened
age would dream of buying an entire
legislature, my dear boy. Horrible!"
Richard rose from his seat, took a
turn up and down the library, then
faced bis exultant host.
"Mr. Renwyck," he nsked, "aren't
you losing sight of one Important fac
tor In tbe game? From what I have
beard of him. Bill Williams is scarcely
the man to be lying uround In a ham
mock while yon are putting through
your deep water harbor bill. In my
humble opinion, you are going to have
a Dght on your bauds that will make
you sit up aud get busy."
This was the most un-English lan
guage which tbe supposed nobleman
had yet employed, but It did not at
tract the notice or awaken tbe suspi
cion of Mr. Renwyck at that time,
owing to his deep interest in tbe mat
ter immediately lu hand.
"Ah," he cried, "now you've laid
your finger on a beauty spot! Of
course Williams will fight me wltb
tooth and null; but by the Lord Harry,
he can't!"
"Why not?"
"Simply because he will not be in
Texas when my bill Is pussed."
Richard stared at his host In fear
and wonder, while Mr. Renwyck con
tinued Jubilantly:
"I could not have had matters turn
out better If I bad arranged it all my
self. It seems that Williams' fool of a
son wns up here in New York last
week and got himself badly smashed
up lu an automobile accident."
"What, you don't mean"
"Yes, it's true." added the specula
tor quickly without noticing Richard's
look of astonishment. "Michael show
ed me a greatly exaggerated newspu
ler account yesterduy morning."
"Is be er mortally or dangerously
hurt?" Iiegan Richard, who bad lu
truth forgotten all about tbe condition
of the real Croyland. and be now be
gun to fear that the man who bad as
sumed his name really might be more
seriously Injured than any of them
had Imagined. Richard was neither
heartless nor Indifferent; but not sus
pecting Croyluud's injuries were seri
ous and being fully occupied with his
own engrossing situation, he bad not
given tbe wouuded earl a thought for
days.
"No, no; badly, but not fatally, of
course," answered Mr. Renwyck. "1
sent around to tbe hospital to see If
there was anything I could do for tbe
boy. I'm sorry for him. I've got no
grudge against him, except bis foolish
ness in selecting such a father."
"I'm glad to bear It's no worse,"
murmured Richard, much relieved.
"Go on, sir."
"It struck me at once tbat things
might happen whlcb would serve my
Interests wben tbe father beard of tb
sad affair."
Richard glared at bis host and
ground his teeth In Impotent rage at
this exhibition of a beartlessness that
would make capital for itself In a busi

the Incident to his advantage, bow-

more In keen enjoyment of tbe unlook-

the game cold bloodedly, mercilessly,
according to tbe rules of the street
He would do nothing dishonorable or
underhand after the ethics of his kind,
but he would have considered himself
a fool If he had not availed himself of
every opportunity or assistance that

"What then?" he echoed. "Well,
