"Mr. Kruger," he suid, as Hie old mun turned to meet him, "I'll make you acquainted with Mr. De Luncey, my purdner. My name's Hooker." "Clad to know you, llookur," re sponded Kruger.

"Mr. Hooker WUB telling me ubout some proposition you hud, to go down into Mexico." he Login, drawing up closer while the old man watched him from under hin eyebrows. "That's ono tough country to do business lu right now. but ut the same time-" "The country's perfectly quiet," put lu Kruger-"perfectly quiet."

The Waldorf was nicely fur nished In this regard. After a drink at the bar. In which Dp Lancey und Hooker joined, Henry Kruger led th? way casually to th? rear, and in a few moments they were safely doweled. "Now," began Kruger, as he took a seat by the table and faced them with snapping eyes, "the tlrat thing I want to make plain to you gentlemen is, if I make any deal today it's to be with Mr. Hooker. If you boys are parduers you can talk it over together, but I deal with one mau. and that's Hooker. "All right?" he inquired, glancing at De Lancey, and that young man nodded Indulgently. ,fVery wall, then," resumed Kruger, "now to get down to business.
