Tho program was made up of selec- j

"It wasn't made out." Orde remind

They ate hungrily, then drifted out
Into the office again, where Ordo lit a
cigar.
"Now, let's se your memoranda,"
said Kewmark.
He frowned over the three simple
Items for some time.
"It's got me." he confessed.
"What do you mean?" asked Orde in
surprise.
"It all looks queer to me. Heinz
man's got something up his sleeve.
"Why should he take" a bond with that
security from us? If we can't deliver
the logs, our company falls; that
makes the stock worthless; that makes
the bond worthless Just when it Is
needed. Of course. It's as plain as
the nose on your face that be thinks
the proposition a good one and Is try

"Oh, nor cried Orde. astounded.
"Orde, you're all right on the river,"
laughed Newniark. "but you're a babe
at this game."
"But Helnzman Is honest." cried
Orde. "Why, he Is a church member
and has a class In Sunday school."
Tho corners of Newmark's mouth
were twitching quietly with amuse
ment. "Besides, be, Is going to buy some

"He wns bluffing," said Newmark.
"because he wanted to find out bow

him It would be a hundred thousand

"I think he's Just taking a long shot

finally to have decided against New

"Not be. He has some good reason

Why does he Insist on putting in a
