country banker and the small cap­
italist were now much seen in the
, reeb® °* Mariona. They were learn­
ing the lingo of metropolitan busi­
ness; many of them had found It con-
'enlent to enroll themselves as non­
resident members of the Commercial
t-lub, and Jack Balcomb’s office proved
a pleasant rendezvous.
Here they
could use his stenographers, and the
°ng-distanca telephone was theirs to
command. The banks and trust com-
panies were a trifle large for these
tnterurban capitalists; but Jack Bal­
comb accommodated himself to great
and small. Prosperous farmers, who
wore finding It pleasant to run into the
capital, now that the street car passed
their door, learned much from B al­
comb, who had the rosy Imagination
and sublime zeal that they lacked. B a l­
comb had organized the Patoka Land
and Improvement Company to give the
lnterurbanltes a chance to taste the
sweets of large enterprises.
Balcomb found a group
of
men
waiting for him in his office and he
sent them into his private room while
he dictated In a loud tone to one of
his stenographers. It was a latter to *.
famous W all street banking house and
referred In large figures to a certain or
uncertain bond deal which, from the
terms of the letter, the New
York
house and Balcomb were carrying on
together. It was. to be sure, a letter
that never would encumber the mat’s,
but this made no difference to Balcomb,
who gave it what he called the true
commercial literary finish.
He left the stenographers to them­
selves with the solemn injunction that
he was not to be disturbed; then he
entered his private office briskly and
was soon talking breathlessly to half
a dozen auditors. He stood with a pile
of architect's sketches before him, dis­
closing to his associates of the Patoka
Land and Improvement Company his
scheme for ati ideal flat. He smoothed
the blue prints on the table carefully
as he said:
"You gentlemen will admit that there
are plenty of apartment houses down­
town. Every old corner is getting one.
Every lone widow In the community
takes her life Insurance money and
blows It Into a flat and thinks it safsr
than government bonds. But I've got
an idea worth two of the best of them.
I wish we could copyright It, it's so
good.”
He let a dreamy look come into his
eyes while the grave incorporators of
the Patoga Land and Improvement
Company listened.
He had dropped
the "we” in a casual way. but It had
reached the right spot In the breasts
of the lnterurbanltes.
"It’s up to us to do something new;
and It has struck me that a ten-story
flat, with every comfort and luxury
provided, located away from the heat
and dirt of the city, but accessible by
car line. Is the thing we're looking for.
Instead of gazing out on smoke-stacks
our tenants will look down on trees!
Does It sound good to you?"
"But where are you going to get all
this?" asked Van Cleve, his attorney,
who frequently acted as Interlocutor
at such meetings.
"That's not so easy. You’ve got fo

The parrot which belonged to the
rich malefactor sat in its gilded cage,
contemplating a price mark which had
not yet been removed. Presently the
magnate approached, and the bird
looked at him. He had been on the
witness stand that day in an important
case, and was feeling rather elated
over his successful testimony.
“ Hello, P o lly !” he greeted the bird,
sticking his finger through the bars.
“ H e llo!” responded Polly, ignoring
the finger.
“ Does Polly want a cracker?"
The bird cocked his head to one side
Inquiringly. The magnate laughed at
Its manner. Possibly the bird had Jot
quite understood the question.
"Does Polly want a cracker?" he re­
peated.
The bird still looked at him with
slanting vision, but made no reply.
“ Oho!” he laughed. "You’ re not
hungry. Have you had your dinner?”
’ I don't remember," croaked the
bird, and the magnate ordered the but­
