The Vicomte de Valier was seated alone In his private roan In the office of the Mutual Credit and Trust Company. It was a luxuriously furnished apartment. The chairs were deep, roomy and »oft. 'They seemed made on purpose to lull one Into feeling» of security. It was about ten o'c|o< k iu the morning. The vkotnt*'» private secretary bad Just retired loaded down with papty-N ami Instructions. Ilia employer sat nt th* table, a pile of docu ments on either aide, and before him a single sheet, uj»m which an astonishing array of figure* appeared. Minute after minute [M»a*d, and still the calculations went on. At last he threw down hla pencil, and walked over to the wind«»*. Partly comweled by th* cur tains, h* l«e»ited out on the throng of peo pie which pa»eed up and down the street. But be hardly noticed anybody. He was really lost iu his reflections. He had. Indeed, good reason to be thoughtful. A gigantic arbmne, the float ing of which would Insure him very large returns, had that very morning l»*en put by him liefore n syndicate of capitalist». It waa no leas a on* then the ronaolhla tion of the docking Interests of a great French seaport. 'Hie plan waa to bring all the owners together aud form a treat on what la known as the American plan, and then raise th* dock tolls. With th* existing k**n competition and th* low cliergea resulting therefrom, that property at present yielded but a amall return for the capital Invested. Tl»* idea was a brilliant on*. It would net tbe .Mutual Credit and Trust Com peny, If succe*sful, three million franca, and tb» Mutual Credit and Trust Com ¡«any virtually meant tb* Vicomte d* Va- Itar. lie had already enlisted considera ble financial aid la support of 'lie scheme. II* was that morning expecting an addi tion to hla forces In tb* je-rson of M. H'Auburon, the friend of that very useful M, < Tial»ot, who had introduced him to th* vicomte but a few «lajs previously. To sell this young man a big block of share« la the n»w enterprise, would, tbe vlouute thought, not be a very difficult task. He had entertained him at bis bouse only an evening or two ago. Tb* splendor of that ocraaion could not have failed to properly imprt-ea him. Then bia wife, the vicomteaae. had ao ably aecotifled liia efforts to make D’Au- bur.m f**l that he waa in good hands. She had talked glibly of their country place, a magnificent establishment on the outskirts of the famous forest of Fontainbleau, of woodland rides, of moonlit waters, and the felicities of rural life far away from the roar and din of Paris Thoae marvel ous eyes of her» had looked into bis very aoul and enthralled hla senses, I> * Valiar anilled as he thought how few who had com* within their influence bad gotten away unscathed. A knock at th* door arou«ed him. ’’Come In,” h* cried out. and Jules Cha- h o t entered tb* room. “ Where la your friend Ii'Auburon?” waa d* Valiar’» first question. M. Chaliot did not immediately reply, lie sank Into a chair, lie a«*med anx ious and worried, and out of aorta. "What on sartb’a tb* matter with you? You’re not ill, are you?” ejaculated the banker. “ It's my nerv»«^ I think. They're not ao etrong as they used to be.” "You haven’t been yourself for some time, ever since that ugly affair at VIII*- neuve," remarked de Valiar, sympathet- bally. <’hal»ot shuddered, and hid hla face in his hands aa if to abut out some horrible sight. "Ihm 't »i>*ak of It,” he almost whis pered, ao faint was hla voice. “ Yea. it »«» enough to u|>»ef anybody.” "It was a (>ecullar hardship on you. Julea, Just ns you wen* on the point of sucreeding as you «ay with— l*t in* see. what'» bar name -Mademotaell» Emily, wasn’t It?” "Let's change tb* subject.

How big a bltM-k of stock had you put apart for hbu in tin* I'nitul I kick Company?” "A thousand aharvs I thought would be ample. You know Colbert Itemplin brings us h targe following, and there are Bom- l«rd and the rest. Ktill, some enbacrib- era will doubtless fail us at the tant mo ment. Why do you ask?” “ It la not enough.

What ta thta CraMus* name?” "He did imt tell me,” replied Chabdt. " lie simply said if lie thought well enough of the venture to put hl» own money In. that he would advise hi» friend to do like wise, if we needed additional capital. What are shares to him?” “ Par—o f course. It ta easier to »ell at I«r than at fifteen franca on t?ie one hun dred. The one inspires confidence In a scheme, the other »Imply excites suspi cion. In fact, I’m not sure but we will put some preanium ou these Hock Com pany shares. A little premium always makes them more attractive.” “But there are seven millions of water in H.” “A proof concern like thta dock trust will stand a good deal of water,” replied ths financier. "After all, what does it matter? All these people will have a cbsiAce to sell out at a profit when we de- elare our first quarterly dividend. Thoes G r a n v ille ati'/iu we want to make uee of in th* fu ture can be given a hint when to unhjnd their holdings.” "But ultimately the loss falls on some body." "And that somebody ta the public who cares for us well ata>ut as mmb a» we care for them." M. < babot remained cJoseted with the banker for nearly an hour, settling the re maining detaila of the dock scheme. A printed draft of the prospectus had to be gone over; the first directors of the c<im|iany had to I** choie-n, care being tak en to place uj/on the tamr«l the names of such capitalists aw would inspire the pub lic with confidence. • "I/*t me aee,” s«i<l the hanker, running his eyes rapidly over a list which be held iu his hand. “ We have Eiquelet, Bouaent, of Bou»*nt; tl»* elder Paltoia - be is good; and Max Haumout says b* ta with us In «as* w* get to an issue. The remainder of tbe board must be givao to tbe dock people. They will, of course, ei|»*<-t some representation.” 4 'T o be sure,” acquiewced I'haLot, "but we must contrive to have with us only those who are open to arguments.” "Yes, that la it, my friend; open to arguments,*' echoed the vicomte. “Of your usually ;»eniuasive kind,” add ed Chabot. "Every man has Ins pries, to be sure, nowadays." “And always did have. In these times, commercial enterprises, my dear fellow, assume proportions of which our ances tor» never dreamed. TTiey were just as dishonest then. If you call manipulation dishonesty, which I candidly confess I don't but their id«-as were smaller. Hence th* difference. Besides," he added, laying his hand impressively upon the other'» aleeve, "this thing must go through. 1 think you. above all others, are aware of the necessity. Tbe fact is, my dear Chaliot, there have been many heavy pulls on the Mutual Credit l»ank lately, (An* cannot offer eight p*r ("eut on sjiecial deposits and always be sure of making more by using the depositor»' money. Then there was the dividend on tbe Ardenne« Charcoal and Peat Com pany. You know it was never earned; but we decided that it would be beat to ¡•ay one.” "Well, th» consequence wo« you placed tbe bonda at par, didn't you?” “At t>ar to the public, of course, but Herr Goldstein's commission took tbe gilt off the gingerbread. Hoassver, he took them all at eighty-five. I could not bave placed them to such good advantage.” 'T h* Interest comes due on tbe slx- teenth. 1 suppose it la useless to crore that bridge until we come to it.” "Before tbe sixteenth thia dock com pany will be floated. Tbe bank’s profit on that will more than meet tbe interest of the Charcoal and Peat Company bonds.“ "And if It isn't floated?*’ hazarded < 'batmt. “ If it Isn’t floated the inevitable crash will begin, or it can be averted in an other way, my dear Chabot. about which I cannot talk at present. But we will not anticipate evil. Come, you must tecom- pauy me to the Bourse thia morning. I have a heavy deal pending, and ahail need your assistance.” As the Yieumte de Valiar and Jules Chabot left the office of tbe .Mutual Credit and Trust Com|iany a small-nixed man issued from a cafe on tbe oppnalte side of the street and walked Is an ap- l«rently careless and preoccupied manner in tbe same direction. He followed them until they turned into a broker's office. Presently th<*y came forth again, and in company with a third person continued to walk in the direction of the Bourse. This third person was Herr Max Gold stein, one of th** shrewdest dealers in se curities in the whole of Pari». He was the broker to whom the vicomte had en trusted the sale of the first mortgage bond* of the Ardennes Charcoal aud Peat Company. He waa a heavy, thickset fel low, with little, cunning eye», which had been »et tog«*ther a» closely as nature would allow ; had not an enormous nose grown ta»tween them, he would is*rhaps have had only or»* large eye in the center. He had a habit of cocking up his head when in conversation, nnd of listening with his mouth wide oiw*n. He had com menced life in Berlin as a bootblack with a second hand outfit. At the conclusion of the first day’s work he had accumu lated enough to buy the best outfit in the city. In a week he had concluded that open air work was not to hia liking, and took his business off the street into a basement, where he thrived ajMce. Then the brilliant idea struck hitn of buying nnd selling theater tickets at cut rates. From this he gravitated into lot teries; from lotteries into small curb stone speculations. Hardly abb to write hi» own name, the trading instinct was so strongly developed in him that in ten years he had accumulated a very consid erable fortune. Why Herr Goldstein had not continued hia uninterrupted career of prosjierity in Berlin was n mystery to his friends in Paris. Aa he seemed to have plenty of money, however, none of them had ever dreajned of Inquiring why he preferred the French to the German «wpitai as a base for his financial operations. After all. was It any of their business? Herr Goldstein waa about forty five years of age, but looked considerably older. Constant fighting with all aorta and conditiona of men had left deep fur rows «crons hia forehead. Indies said that without doubt he waa a very unpre possessing man. He seemed to have some extraordinary influence with the vicomte. — and people were lost In conjecture a» to whai that could be. The small followed de Valiar, M.
