She looked into his eyes dully for an
instant, not realizing the full impor?
tance of bis confession.
"You, Monly?" she said incredulously.
.Tve g>t it bad. Peg.?}-," he replied,
Staring hard at the floor. She could
Hot understand the cold gray tone that
suddenly enveloped the room. The
strange sense of loneliurss that came
over her was inexplicable. The little
something that' rase in her throat
would not be dislodged, nor could she
throw off the weight that seemed press?
ing <iowu upon her. Ile saw the odd
icok in her eyes and the drawu. uncer?
tain smile on her lips, but he attribut?
ed them to wonder and incredulity.
Somehow af;or all these years he was
transformed before her very eyes. She
was looking upon a new personality.
?le was no longer Montgomery the
brother, but she could not explain how
?ind when the change crept over her.
What Cid it all mean? "I am very

iips giving way to red once more.

"This evening?"
"I can't wait," Monty said as he rose
to go. "Fm glad, you're pleased. Peg?
gy. I need your good wishes. And.

'boyish wistfulness, "do you think
there's a chance for a fellow? I've had

! From the window she watched him
j swing off down the street, wondering
! if he would turn to wave Ms hand to
! her, his custom for years. But the
I broad .back was straight _and uncom
! promising. ,HTs long strides carried
I him swiftly out of. sight, but it was
many minutas before she turned her
eyes, whict were smarting, a little
from the peint where he was lost in
the crowd. The room looked ashen to
her as she brought her mind back to
it, and somehow things had grown dif?
ferent
When Montgomery reached home he
j found this telegram from Mr. Jones:
j Montgomery Brewster. New York City:
Stick to your knitting, you fool.
I S. JONES.
CHAPTER IX.
IT is best not to repeat the expres?
sions Brewster used regarding one
S. Jones after reading this tele?
gram. But he felt considerably
j relieved after he had uttered them. He
; fell to reading accounts of the big
I prize fight which was to take place in
San Francisco that evening. He revel
I ed in the descriptions of "upper cuts"
and "left hooks'* and learned inciden
; tally that the affair was to be quite
one sided. A local amateur was to
box a champion. Quick to see an op?
portunity and cajoling himself into the
belief that Swearengen Jones could
not object to such a display of sports?
manship. Brewster made Harrison
book several good wagers on the result
He intimated that, he had reason to be?
lieve that the favorite would lose.
Harrison soon placed $3,000 on his
man. The young financier felt so,sure
of the result that he entered the bets
on the profit side of his ledger the mo?
ment he received Harrison's report.
Thi3 done, he telephoned to Miss
Drew. She was not insensible to the
significance of his inquiry if she would
be in that afternoon. She had observ?
ed in him of late a condition of un
! easiness, supplemented by moroseness
! and occasional periods of irascibility.
; Every girl whose occupation in life is
I the study of men recognizes these
symptoms and knows how to treat
them. Barbara had dealt with many,
men afflicted in this manner, and the
flutter of anticipation that came with
his urgent plea to see her was temper?
ed by experience. It had something of
joy in it for she cared enough for
Montgomery Brewster to have made
her anxiously uncertain of his state of
mind. She cared, indeed, much more
than she intended to confess at the
outset
It was nearly half past 5 when he
came, and for once the philosophical
Miss. Drew felt a little irritation. So
certain was she of his object in com?
ing that his tardiness was a trifle ruf?
fling. He apologized for being late
and succeeded in banishing the pique
that possessed her. It was naturally
impossible for him to share all his
secrets with her, and that is why he
did not tell her that Grant & Ripley
had called him up to report the receipt
of a telegram from Swearengen Jones,
in which the gentleman laconically
said he could feed the whole state of
'7 love you. Babs" he cried.
Montana for less than $0.000. Beyond j
that there was no comment Brewster
in dire trepidation hastened to the of
?V(< of his attorneys. They smiled
when he hurst in upon them.
-Cloud heavens.'*' he exclaimed. "Does
tire miserly old hayseed expect me to
spend a million for newspapers, ciga?
rettes and Boston terriers? I thought j
he would be reasonable!"
"He evidently has -oon the newspa- ?
per accounts of your dinner, and this .
is merely his c indent," saul Mr. Kip- !
ley.
"It's either a warning or else lie's '
ambiguous in his compliments," growl- I
ed Brewster disgustedly.
"I don't believe he disapproved. Mr.
Brewster. In the west the old gentle?
man is widely known as a wit"
"A wit eh? Then he'll appreciate an
answer from me. Have you a telegraph
blank, .Mr. Grant?" j
Two minutes later the following tele- :
gram to Swearengen Jones was await- i
ing tlie arrival of a messenger hov and ?
Brewster was blandly assuring Messrs.
Grant & Ripley thai he did not care;
a ra?? for the consequences:

MONTGOMERY BREWSTE
. .st before leaving his apartm<
for Miss Drew's home he received
response from faraway Montana:

Montgomery Brewster. New York:
We are S.OOO feet above the level of
sea. I suppose that's why it costs us
to live high. S. JONE
"I was beginning to despair, Mon
said Miss Drew reproachfully w
he had come down from the heighl
his exasperation and remembered t
there were things of more importai
The light in his eyes brought
faintest tinge of red to her cheeks, ?
where a moment before there had b
annoyance there was now a feeling
serenity. For a moment the sile
was fraught with purpose. Mo
glanced around the room, uncert
how to begin. It was not so easy as
had imagined.
"You are very good to see me,"
said at last. "It was absolutely nee
sary for me to talk to you this eveni
I could not have endured the suspe:
any longer. Barbara, I've spent th
or four sleepless nights on your
count. Will it spoil your evening i
tell you in plain words what you
ready know? It won't bother you, T
it?" he floundered.
"What do you mean, Monty?" ?
begged, purposely dense and with w
derful control of her eyes.
"I love you, Babs," he cried,
thought you knew about it all ale
or I should have told you before. Tha
why I haven't slept. The fear ti
you may not care for me has dri\
me nearly to distraction. It couid
go on any longer. I must know
day."
There was a gleam in his eyes tl
made her pose of indifference diffict
The fervor of his half whispered wot
took possession of her. She had <
pected sentiment of such a differ?
character that his frank confession d
armed her completely. Beneath 1
ardent, abrupt plea there was assi
ance, the confidence of one who is r
to be denied. It was not what he h
said, but the way he had said it
wave of exultation swept over her, t
gling through every nerve. Under t
spell her resolution to dally light
with his emotion suffered a check th
almost brought ignominious surrend?
?Born of her hands were clasped in i
when he exultingly resumed the phar
against her heart, but she was rapid
regaining control of her emotions, m
he did not know that he was losii
ground with each step he took fe
ward. Barbara Drew loved Brewst?
but she was going to make him pi
dearly for the brief lapse her coi
posure had experienced. When ne
she spoke she was again the Mi
Drew who had been trained in tl
ways of the world, and not the your
girl in love.
"I care for you a great deal. Monty
she said, "but Fm wondering whetb
I care enough to-to marry you."
"We haven't known each other vei
long, Babs," he said tenderly, "but
think we know each other well enouc
.to be beyond wondering."
"It is like you to minage the who
thing," she said chidingly. "Can't yo
give me time to convince myself that
love you as you would like and as
must love if I expect to bca^appy wit
the man I marry?"
"I forgot myself." he said humbly.
"You forgot me." she protested get
tly, touched by this sign of contritioi
"I do care for you. Monty, but don
you see it's no little thing you ask c
me? I must be sure- very sure-befor
I-before"
"Don't be so distressed." he pleader
"You will love me, I know, becaus
you love me now. This means mue
to me. but it means more to you. Yo'
are the woman, and you are the on
whose happiness should be consid?r?e1
I can live only in the hope that wheo
I come to you again with this sam
story and this same question you"]
not be afraid to trust yourself to nie."
"You deserve to be happy for that
Monty," she s:t:d earnestly, and i
was with difficulty that she kept hei
eyes from wavering as they looked int<
his.
"You will let me try to make yot
love me?" he asked eagerly.
"I may not be worth the struggle."
?T11 take that chance/; he replied.
She was conscious ol uisappoT?cmenl
after he was gone. He had not pleaded
as ardently as she had expected and
desired, and. try as she would, she
could not banish the touch of irritation
that had come to haunt her for the
night
Brewster walked to the club, elated
that he had at least made a beginning.
His position was now clear. Besides
losing a fortune he must win Bar?
bara in open competition.
At the theater that evening he met
Harrison, who was in a state of jubila?
tion.
"Where did you get that tip?" asked
he.
"Tip? What tii>?" from Brewster.
"On the prize fight."
Brewster's face fell, and something
cold crept over him.
"How did-what was the result?" he
asked, sure of the answer.
"Haven't you heard? Your man
knocked him out in the fifth round
surprised everybody."
CHAPTER X.
THE next two months were busy
ones for Brews;er. Miss Drew
saw him unite as often as be?
fore the important interview,
but he was a i ways a puzzle to her.
"His attitude is changed somehow."
she thought to herself. And then she
remembered that "a man who wins a
girl niter ;m ardent snit is often like
ouo who runs after a stree? ear and
then shs down to read'his paper."
In truth, after the first few days
Monty seemed to have forgotten his
competitors and was resting in the
consciousness of Iiis assured position.
Each dav ho som .. .' ..
his duty. He used no small part
his income on the flowers, hut in t
case his mission was almost forgotl
in his love for Barbara.
Monty's attitude was not due to a
waning of his affection, but to l
very unromantic business in which
was engaged. It seemed to him th
plan as he might, he could not dov
fresh ways and means to earn $1G.(
a day. He was still comfortably abc
in the race, but a famine in oppor
nities was not far remote. Ten 1
dinner parties and a string of elabor:
after the play suppers maintained
fair but insufficient average, and
could see that the time was ripe i
radical measures. He could not go
forever with his dinners. People w<
already beginning to refer to the fi
that he was warming his toes on 1
social register, and he had no desire
become the laughingstock of the tov
The few slighting, sarcastic remai
about his business ability, chiefly
women and therefore reflected fr<
the men, hurt him. Miss Drew's ?
parently harmless taunt and M
Dan's open criticism told plair
enough how the wind was blowing, b
it was Peggy's gentle questions tb
cut the deepest. There was such he
est concern in her voice that he cor
see how his profligacy was troubli:
her and Mrs. Gray. In their eyes mc
than in the others he felt ashamed a:
humiliated. Finally, goaded by the i
mark of a bank director which he ov<
heard. "Edwin P. Brewster is turnii
handsprings in his grave over the w;
he is going it." Monty resolved to i
j deem himself in the eyes of his erith
j He would show them that his bra
j was not wholly given over to frivolit;
With this project in mind he decid
to cause a little excitement in Wi
street. For some days he stealthi
watched the stock market and plied i:
friends with questions about value
Constant reading and observath
finally convinced him that Lumber ai
Fuel Common was the one stock
which he could safely plunge. Ca?
ing aside all apprehension, so far ;
Swearengen Jones was concerned, ]
prepared for what was to be his 01
and only venture on the Stock E
change before the 23d of the followii
September. With all the cunning ai
craftiness of a general he laid his plai
for the attack. Gardner's face was tl
picture of despair when Brewster as
ed him to buy heavily in Lumber ar
Fuel.
"Ge>od heavens, Monty !" cried tl
broker. "You're joking. Lumber
away up now. It can't possibly go
fraction of a point higher. Take m
advice and don't touch it. It opene
today at 111% and closed at 109. Wh;
man, you're crazy to think about it fe
an instant'"
"I know my business, Gardner,
said Brewster quietly, and his coi
science smote him when he saw tb
flush of mortification creep into th
face of his friend. The rebuke had cr
I Gardner to the quick.
"But, Monty, I know what I'm tait
ing about. At least let me tell yo
something about this stock." pleade
Elou loyally tlespite the wound.
"Gardy, I've gone into this thin
carefully, and if ever a man felt sur
about anything I do about this," sai
Mont}- decidedly, but'mfi'cetionately.
"Take my word for it, Lumber can'
go any higher. Think of the situatior

are overstocked, and there is a strik

"My mind is made up," said the othe
firmly, and Gardner was in despair
"Will you or will you not execute ai
order for me #t the opening tomorrow
I'll start with 10,000 shares. Wha
will it cost me to margin it for tei
points?"
'.At least a hundred thousand, exclu
j sive of commission, which would be
. twelve and a half a hundred shares.*
I Despite the most strenuous oppositior
i from Gardner. Brewster adhered to Iii.?
design, and the broker executed the or
der the next morning. He knew thal
! Brewster had but one chance to win,
; and that was to buy the stock in a
I lump instead of distributing it amone
j several brokers and throu.irhout thc
session. This was a point that Monty
had overlooked.
There had been little to excite the
Stock Exchange for some weeks: noth?
ing was active, and the slightest flurry
was hailed as an event. Every one
knew that the calm would bo disturbed
at some near day, but nobody looked
? for a sensation in Lumber and Fuel,
j It was a foregone conclusion that a
j slump was coming, and there was
j scarcely any trading in the stock,
j When Elon Gardner, acting for Mont?
gomery Brewster, took 10,000 shares at
K?874 there was a mighty gasp on the
exchange, then a rubbing of eyes, then
commotion. Astonishment was follow?
ed by nervousness, and then came the
; struggle.
P.rewster, confident that the stock
could go no higher and that sooner or
later it must drop, calmly ordered his
horse for a ride in tho snow covered
park. Even though he knew the ven?
ture was to be a failure in the ordinary
I sr lise, he found joy in the knowledge
j that he was doing something. Ile might
j be a fool: lie was ar least no longer in
j active. Tile feel of the air was good
1 to him. He was exhilarated by the
! glitter of thc snow, the answering ex
? citemeni of his horse, tho gayety and
; sparkle of life about bim.
! Somewhere far back in Iiis inner self
I there seemed to be tile SOUUll of eheer
; ing and the clapping of hands. Short
, iv before noon he reached his club.
! where he was to lunch with Colonel
Drew. In tiie reading room 'ne ob
' served that men we're looking a; him
in a manner less casual than was cus?
tomary. Some of them wen; so far
:?S tn smile encouragingly, and others
waved their hands in tin- most cordial
fashi >n. Three or four very young
members looked upon him with ad?
miration and envy, and even tho por?
ters seemed more obsequious. There
was something strangely oppressive in
I
i Colonel Drew's dignity relaxed amaz?
ingly when he caught sight of the
young man. He came forward to meet
him, and his greeting almost carried
Monty off his feet.
"Hov/ did you do it, my boy?" cried
the colonel. "She's off a point or two
now, I believe, but half an hour ago
she was booming. Gad. I never heard
of anything more spectacular!"
Monty's heart was in his mouth as
he rushed over to the ticker. It did

Iiis feet.
j not take him long to grasp the immensi
I ty of the disaster. Gardner had bought
. in at J OS'".;, ?nd that very action seeni
j ed to put new life into the stock. Just
j as it was on the point of breaking for
! lack of support along came this sen
I sational order for 10.000 shares, and
? there could be but one result. At one
time in the morning Lumber and Fuel,
traded in by excited holders, touched
lloK' and seemed in a fair way to hold
firm around that figure.
Other men came up and listened ea?
gerly. Brewster realized that his dash
in Lumber and Fuel had been a mas?
ter stroke of cleverness when consid?
ered from the point of view of these
men, but a catastrophe from his own.
"I hope you sold it when it was at
the top," said the colonel anxiously.
"I instructed Gardner to sell only
when I gave the word," said Monty
lamely. Several of the men looked at
him in surprise and disgust.
"Well, if I were you I'd tell him to
sell," remarked the colonel coldly.
"The effect of your plunge has worn
off, Brewster, and the other side will
drive the prices down. They won't be
caught napping again either," said one
of the bystanders earnestly.
"Do you think so?" And there was
a note of relief in Monty's voice,
j From all sides came the advice to
j sell at once, but Brewster was not to j
I be pushed. He calmly lighted a ciga-'
j rette and with an assured air of wis- j
j dom told them to wait a little while
j and see.
} "She's already falling off," said some
j one at the ticker.
When Brewster's bewildered eyes
j raced over the figures the stock was
! quoted at 112. His sigh of relief was
j heard, but misunderstood. He might
j be saved after all. The stock had
j started to go down, and there seemed
j no reasonjwhy it should stop. As he
i intended to purchase no more, it was
; fair to assume that the backWme was
j at the breaking point. The crash was
i bound to come. He could hardly re
j strain a cry of joy. Even while he
j stood at the ticker the little instru
I ment began to tell of a further decline,
i As the price went down his hopes went
up.
'Thc bystanders were beginning to be
j disgusted. "It was only a fluke after
j all," they said to each other. Colonel
I Drew was appealed to to urge Monty
j to save himself, and he was on the
j point of remonstrance when the mes?
sage came that the threatened strike
was oi? and that the men were willing
to arbitrate. Almost before one could
draw breath this startling news began
to make itself felt. The certainty of a
great strike was one of the things that
had made Brewster sure that the price
couid not hoid. With this danfe r re?
moved there was nothing to jeopardize
the earning power of the strock. The
next quotation was a point higher.
"You sly dog!" said the colonel, dig?
ging Monty in the side. "I had confi?
dence in you all the time."
In teu minutes* time Lumber and
Fuel was again up to 113 and soaring.
Brewster, panic stricken, rushed to the
telephone and called up Gardner.
The broker, hoarse with excitement,
was delighted when he recognized
Brewster's voice.
"You're a wonder. Monty! I'll see
you after the close. How did you do
it?" shouted Gardner.
"What's the price now?" asked Brew?
ster.
"One thirteen and three-fourths and
going up all the time! Hooray!"
"Do you thank she'll go down again?"
demanded Brewster.
"Not if I van help it."
"Very well, then, go and sell out!"
roared Brewster.
"But she's going up like"
"Sell, hang you! Didn't you hear?"
Gardner, dazed and weak, began soil?
ing and Tinnily liquidated the full line .
at prices ranging from !!! to ll?-Vs. j
But Montgomery Brewster had cleared j
$0$.r>r?0, and all because it was he and I
not the market that ir >r excited.

The President Sends an Exciting Mes?
suage to Congress.
Washington, April 18.-In a spe?
cial message, delivered to the Con
grwess today, President Roosevelt de?
clares that the recent trial of the_
"beef packers" in Chicago was a
miscarriage of justice." and that the
interpetration placed by Judge Hum?
phrey on the will of Congress "is such
as to make that will absolutely abor?
tive."
The message, which is sensational
in character, is based largely on a let?
ter to the President from Attorney
General Moody, in which the Attorney
General reviews the proceedings of the
case of the government against the
beef packers. The president says it
is clear that no criticism attaches to
Commissioner Garfield, as what he
did was in pursuance of a duty im?
posed on him by Congress. He refers
sharply, however, to the decision of
Judge Humphrey, saying that Con?
gress could not. have foreseen such a
decision, and that he can hardly be?
lieve that the ruling of Judge Hum?
phrey will be followed by other judges.
He declares that such interpretation
of the law as that placed on it by
Judge Humphrey "comes measura?
bly near making the law a farce," and
he recommends that Congress pass a
declaratory Act, stating its real inten
lion. The president also requests to
confer upon the government by stat?
ute the same right of appeal, in crim?
inal cases, which the defendant now
enjoys, where the merits of the case
have not been determined.
*Don't tie a cough or a cold up in
your system by taking a remedy that
binds the bowels. Take Kennedy's
Laxative Honey and Tar. It is differ?
ent from all other cough syrups. It is
better. It opens the bowels-expels
all cold from the system, relieves
coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough,
etc. An ideal remedy for young and
old. Children like it. Sold by all
druggists.
America still distinguishes be
teen grand and petit larceny, as may
be gathered from the warrant charg?
ing Mr. Perkins, ex-Vice President of
the New York Life Insurance Com?
pany, with the former. In England
the distinction, which has exsited
since Edward I's time, was abolished
in 1827, and again-to make sure, pre?
sumably-in the larceny act ,of 1861.
If the property stolen did n >. exceed
12 pence in value, it was larceny and
the punishment was whipping or im?
