I envied Itolfe Dysart. I was not |
j covetous of his many diamonds and
, expensive attire and the free and easy
way in which he flung about his money.
: but I begrudged him the favor and i
i pood 'will he had won from the one
I family in the world in which I was
j interested?Mr. and Mrs. Robert Branj
don and their daughter, AdelaD/sart
had flashed in among our
little brokerage group, made up of
'oung fellows who had ventured into
independent business with little capital
t but high hopes. He had appeared with
i no one knowing anything of his ante'
< edents. claimed to have bepn with a
' leading eastern bond house and boasted
, ?>f wealthy, and even titled relatives
j in London. He rented an elaborate of|
foe, made money from the start and
attracted many friends. It was I who.
capti- a ted by his friendly ways, introduce!
him to the Brandons, too late
regretting It, for, unconsciously perhaps.
he won away from me my lady
IrttTU
Not that I had any claim on Adela
and not that she seemed particularly
taken with him, but his glare and
glitter caught the old folks and their
n.anner plainly showed that they favored
hia pretensions. I bore Dysart
no grudge because he had supplanted
me. for I doubted if he or anybody else
guessed the secret of my preference
for Adela. However, as I became better
acquainted with him I analysed bis
nature more studiously, and I noted
half hidden defects and learned that
some of his claimed former connections
would not bear close scrutiny.
I had practically about abandoned
the field so far as Adela was concerned,
for her father tacitly ignored
me when we met and Mrs. Brandon
eaerted herself to make Dysart welcome.
My calls at their home began
to be restricted and Infrequent and
whenever I met Adela In society she
was friendly and Indulgent.
I shall nfcver forget the^ day when
a new client entered my office with
sailor like gait and outlandishly misfitting
garments, although of rich tpxture.
He was swarthy, time beaten,
evidently a foreigner, and when he
spoke employed a broken, almost unintelligible
lingo. However. I?e ran
the tape on the ticker through his fingers
in a way that showed he was not

query:
"Market eighty-seven on Union Consolidated?"
| "Yes." I assented, "with accraed
dividends."
j "Buy me one hundred shares." lie
- ordered, and placed a card hefiw me
hearing the printed legend: "Zeno
Bleeha. Hotel Elisnore." Then he drew
' out a check Look, did some figurine
presented the ?suni of iiis calculation
for the shares and added:
"Fill out the amount, will you?"
"Why. do you not write?" I inquired
curiously.
"Ob. I can sign all right," he replied
casually, and took back the check
when I had done his bidding.
Then this unique client w^nt through
an unusual and interesting program.
He picked up the pen I had used and
laboriously and clumsily spelled out
in print letters the name "Zeno
Bleeha." That done, he produced a
small metal box and opened Its cover,
revealing an ink pad saturated with
a dark red liquid. Into this he pressed
the thumb of his rather ungainly right
hand. As he did so, I caught sight of
its anrfnro Snme intnrv had loft a
! deep criss-cross star on the abrased
[ flesh. He pressed the thumb against
, the pad. tried' an impress on the desk
' blotter, and then upon the check directi
ly under his signature.
J "You see." he explained with a
i whimsical smile, "anybody could print
J out the signature of a man who does
^ not understand script, but my thumb
j mark Is an unquestionable identiflcal
tion. I will call for the stock tomorj
row," and he strolled to the inner office
i to look over a financial journal. A
moment later Rolfe Dysart appeared,
a memorandum slip in his hand.
"Any Commonwealth Preferred?" he
asked, and then gave a great start. I
saw him pale, shiver, and his eyee
bulged as they rested upon the thumb i
print on the blotter.
"Where did you get that!" he gasped.
The man in the other room uttered a
guttural cry and dashed into the outer
office j
"You scoundrel!" he shouted in wild
rage, but Dysart bad turned and
sprung through the doorway, his pursuer
more clumsily following him.
I had not recovered from my amazement
when, pale and breathless. Zeno
Blecfaa returned. He asked the
of my telephone. I listened while he

I heard nothing of either my strange
I client or Dysart for over a month. The
? latter had mysteriously disappeared
J from the city, and ' doubted not that
Blecha was on his trail.
| One day I met Adela on the street.
? She seemed glad to see me. That

Dysart In another city, and 1 called at
{ the Rrandon home.
< The welcome reception by Mr. and

t of the brilliant Dys t was broken. As

' me the deep aversion that she had

I had ?*varently forgotten her. that I
