V. VI and VII He lands in th

f one Craighead, who plans to raise

JJut mine, my dear sir." protested
rXr. Craighead, "of the untold million
m the Broom Idea aerial monopoly
Xren If Theodore should be only four
dabs and a spade, we still bold the
aces, my dear Mr. Waddy. Do not
rind your teeth thus so long as the
.American Nitrates and Air Products
eeipany remains as tbe Archimedean
JeTer with which to pry up and dump
&e world. We are abend whatever
'kappeaa to the aeronef end of the
eaL"
"Well, tbe aeronef end," said Mr.
"Waddy, hed better como to tbe cen
1v or I'll see what law there Is for
XttlBg money by false pretenses."
Tbe two men were tbe best of trar
.U& companions. Mr. Waddy Insisted
a going In tbe smoker. Mr. Craighead
'took the stateroom while his money
lasted and then borrowed of Mr. Wad-
ir. Craighead had advertised for
jpeople to organize a rapid business
campaign covering tho civilized world
Is meet him in West Twenty-third
atrect at tbe studio of an acquaintance
to whom be bad neglected to impart
.may knowledge of tbe tryst with tbe
specialists. Waddy and Craighead ar
rxlred somewhat lato on account of tbo
time consumed la adjusting Mr. Craig
head's aura and found a crush of peo
jie entirely alien to tbe fine arts, filling
the studio and the ball outside. Craig
head's sculptor friend, with a lady
aaodel, escaped the angry mob into the
-scaffolding of an equestrian group rep-

resenting an Indian maiden In a stam
pede of buffaloes. Tbe model had been
peeing for something an Indian maid
en perhaps and bad feathers in her
hair.
Craighead broke through by impcr
Maatlng an officer, shouting "Make
way for the police!" nnd uppercuttlng
the crowd with his elbows.
"Hello, Do Land!" said bo, nodding
to the sculptor. "Most beauteous
jpciacesa of tho Apaches, how?"
That you, Craig?" called down the
sculptor. "What, not sober? Go after
Hm police. Turn these people out,
-pUase, Craig!"
"Friends of mine," said Craighead,
I advertised for 'cm. nope you
haven't been Incommodod, old mnn."
"Not at all!" reclled tbe sculptor sap
f i A
cnatlcally. "But get them out so Miss
Drown aud 1 can dweud."
Craighead's manner ot disposing of
tho crowd commanded Mr. Wnddy's
sincere respect, lie wont about with
marvelous rapidity, sending away those
whoso nouutlllty was unquestionable
aud making engagements with others
at "our Wall street ofllce," tbe name
of which made everybody more re
lpectful. The dinner to wblcb Mr. Craighead
took Mr. Do Laud. Miss Drown and
Mr. Waddy was the first of a series
which reduced Mr. Waddy to torpor.
The old gentleman. In bis long frock
coat which buttoned to n surtout, his
frowzy face and bis evident attach
ment to Mr. Craighead, was remember
ed in certain ultra bobemlau circles
for his surreptitious slinking Into the
dimmest corners of cafes and roof gar
dens. Ete had n dark secret, Mr. Craig
head said, which, be did not explain,
originated in Mr. Waddy's agreement
with the lady In goggles that the whole
situation was Improper. Be felt obliged
to keep with Craighead because of
a suspicion that the aeronef was a
figment of two Slattcry institute im
aginations, and be did not purpose to
let any guilty man escape. So he
providently engaged n detectlvo to
shadow both himself and Mr. Craig
head, the unremitting presence of
whom in very plain clothes made Mr.
Waddy feel and look guilty and fugi
tive. His second reason for becoming Mr.
'Craighead's double was his sense of
duty of preventing that pupil of Dr.
Wltherspoon from breaking the vow
of abstinence. So he drank most of
tbe intoxicants served to Craighead,
somewhat to the Injury of his health,
but much to the betterment of his rep
utation as a roisterer. Altogether It
was a relief to get Craighead back
home, whero be installed blm as a
lodger and boarder, charging blm well
for his accommodation and lending
him the money on his note to pay for
It On arrival ho went to bed and
turned Craighead over to Mrs. Gray
bill, with strict injunctions to tele
phone tbe sheriff's office if be was un
accounted for for more than an hour.
It was a situation with some unique
aspects. Mr. Craighead began whlllng
away time with a work on the "Mor
phology of the Crawfish" and dips Into
Do Qutncey's "Spanish Nun." Look
ing from the library window, ho saw
Mrs. Grayblll enter a summer bouse,
leaving a red bat on tbo railing out
side. The "Morphology" grew uninterest
ing. Craighead stepped from tho win
dow, went into tbe summer house and
started at finding Mrs. Grayblll there,
her hair tousled about bcr head, her
little nose Wevuted in that comical re
semblauce to her father's. "Mr. Wad
dy Informs me that tbe late Mr. Gray
blll was a minister of tho gospel," be
ventured.
"Yes," she replied, "he was."
"And that he has been called." Craig
head went on. "to a better life a year
or more?"
"Fourteen months," answered Mrs.
Grayblll.
"I have been reading." said Craig
head, "a work on the 'Morphology of
the Crawfish It holds me entbrallc
Tho person who falls to glean wisdom
from the crawfish has never tested his
Intelligence with a baro toe or studied
his morphology."
Mrs. Grayblll looked at Craighead
