FRIDAY £ 13th II U the largest in the worm. ni* name had become one »f terror wherever stocks were dealt !m. Wall street had come te regard his every de«J. from (fee moment that he began operations, as inevitably successful. Now and again he would Jump lntn the market when some of the plunging cliques had a bear raid under wsiy. and would put them to rout by buying everything in sight and bidding up priceo until it leaked as though ha intended ts do as extraordinary work on tho up-stdo as he was wont to do on tho down At sueh times ho was tho idol of the Exchange, which worships tho man who piris prices up as it hates him who pulls them dewn. Once when war news flashed over the wires from Washington and rumor had the cabinet members, senators, and congressmen selling tho market short on advance information, when the “Standard Oil” banks had put up money rates to 160 per cent and a crash seemed inevitable. Bob suddenly smashed the loan market by offering to lend one hundred millions at four per cent; and by buying and bidding up prices at the same time, he put the whele Washington erowd and its New York accomplices to disastrous rout and caused them to lose millions. He continued his operations with increasing violence and increasing profits up to the fourth anniversary of the tragedy. On the intervening anniversary I had been compelled by eelfinterest and fear that he would really pull down the entire Wall street structure, to rush in and fairly drag him off. But with his growing madness my influence was waning. Each raid j It was with greater difficulty that 11 get his ear. Finally, on the fourth anniversary. In a panic that seemed to be running I into something more terrible than any previous, he savagely refused to accede to my appeal, telling me that he would not step, even if Randolph A Randolph were doomed to go down in the crash. It had become known on | the floor that I was the only one who oould do anything with him in his frenzies, and mv pleading with him in ; the lobby was watched by the members es the Exchange with triple eyed euspemse. Whea it was elear from ilia

emphatic gestures and raised voice—for he was in a reckless mood from drink and madness and took no pains to disguise his intentions —that 7 could not prevail upon him, there was a frantic rush for the poles to throw over stocks ta advance of him. Suddenly, after I had turned from him in despair, there flashed into my mind an idea The situation was desperate. I was dealing with a madman, and I decided that I was Justified in making this last try. I rushed back to him. "Bob. good-bye." 1 whispered in his ear, “good-bye. In ten minutes you will get word that Jim Randolph has cut his throat!” He stopped as though I had plunged a knife into him, struck his forehead a resounding blow, and into his wild brown eyes came a sickening look of fear. “Stop. Jim, for God's sake, don't say that to me. My cup is full now. Don’t tell me I am to have that crime on my soul." He thought a moment. “I don’t know whether you mean Ft, Jim, but I can take no chances, not for all the money in the world, not even for revenge. Wait here, Jim.” He yelled for his brokers, and several rushed to him from different parts of the room. He cent them back lute the crowd while ho dashed for the Amalgamated pels. The day wen saved. Presently he came back to me. "Jim, I mast kave a talk with yen. Oouse ever to my office.'' Whea we

To be sure I have seme feeling tor mother. Fred, nnd sinters. But for you I hare a love second only to that I should have felt fer Beulah had I bee. .Hewed to have her. The thought, Jim, that I had wrecked your life, with all you have to live for, would have been the last straw. My life ie purgatory. Beulah is only an ever present curse to me —a ghost that rends my heart and soul, one minute with a blind frenzy to revenge her wrongs, the next with an icy remorse that I have not already done so If I did not have her, perhaps in time I oould forget; perhaps I might lay out some scheme to help poor devils whose poverty makpe life unendurable, and with the million* I have taken from the main shaft of hell I might do thing, that would at least bring quiet to my soul; but ft Is Impossible with the livi.g corpse of j Beulah Sands before me every nrtanto and that devil machiaery whirling la my brain all the time the song. Revenge her and her father, revenge yourself.’ It in impossible to give it up. Jim. I must have revenge. I muat stop this machinery that is smashing up mere American hearts and seuls each year than all the rest of earth s grinders combi aed. Every day I delay I become more fiendish ia my desires. Jim, don’t think Ido not knew that I have literally turned into a Send. Whenever es late I see myself in the mirror, I shudder. When I I thiak of what I was when your father stood us up in his office and started | us in this heart-shrivelling, soul-eal-louslng business, and what I am new, I cannot keep the madness down except with rum. Yeu knew what it means for me to say this, me who started with ail the pride es a BrewwI ley; but it is se, Jim. The other night I went home with my soul frozen with i thoughts of the past and with my brain ablaze with rum, intending to •ad It all. I got out my revolver, and woke Beulah, but as I said, Bob ia

going to hill Beulah and himself,’ she laughed that sweet child's laugh and clapping her hands said, ’Bob is so good to play with Beulah,’ and then I thought of that deTil Reiahan and the other fiends of the ‘System’ being left to continue their work unhindered and I could not do it. I must hare revenge; I must smash that heart-crushing machinery. Then I caa go, and take Beulah with me Now, Jim, let ue hare it clearly understood once and for all." Remorse and softness were paatt he was the Indian again. "I am going to wreck that hell-annex some day and that some day will be the next time I start in. Don’t argue with me don’t misunderstand me. To-day you stopped me. I don’t know whether you meant what you threatened- I don’t care now. It is just as well that I stopped, for the System’s’ machine will be there whenever I start in again. It loses nothing of Its fiendhshness. none of Its destructive powers by grinding, but on the contrary as you know, it increases its speed every day it runs Now. J lm Randolph I want to tell yon that you must get yours sad the house's affairs in such shape that you won’t be hurt when I gotito that human rat-pk the next I ooiat from It New York Stock Exchange and the Syatem will hav. had th.tr spl.e. usjointed Tes, and 111 havethTr hearts eat tee.

I win wreck ’the Street,’ and the ianoceat will go down with the gnißy, if they have any stocks on hand at that time. “My power, Jim, ie aallmlted; *othlag caa stay it. I am not going t„ explain any further. Tou have seen me work. You must know tkat my power la grantor thdh tho ’System's, 1 rad you and I and The Street’ have ah wayw known that tbe ‘System' Is more powerful than tho government, mom powerful than are tho courts, logic latoree, congress, and the president of the United States combined, that it absolutely controls tho foundation on which they rest —tho money of the nation. But my power is greater, a thousand, yes, a million times greater than theirs. Jim, they say that I have made more money than any man in tho world. They say that I have five hundred millions of dollars, but the fools don’t koep track of my movements. They only know that I have pulled five hundred millions from my open whirls, the ones they have had an opportunity to keep tab oa. But I tell you that I have made even more in my secret deals than the amount they have seen me taka I have had my agents with my capital in every deal, ovary steal the ’System' has rigged up. The world has boon throwing up tta hands la horror because Carnegie, the blacksmith of Blttsburg, pulled off three hundred millions of swag in the Stool hold-up—yes, swag, Jim. Don't scowl as though you wanted to read me a lecture on the coarseness of my language. I have learned to call thle game of ours by its right a onto It Is not business enterprise with earned preits as rooults. but pulled-off tricks with hags of foot—-btack-Jnak swag—far their end “I got away with throe hundred millions when Steel slumped from 115 to 58 and from 5# ta 8, and ao one knew I’d made a dollar. Tou and The Street - read every morning last year the guesses' as to who oould be rounding up hundreds of millions on tho slump. Tho papers and the market letters one morning said It was Standard Oil; the next, that It was Morgan; then It was Frisk, Zehwab, Gates, and so oa down through the tint. Os course, aoao es them denied; It is capital to ell these kmight* of the road to he making millions in the minds of the world, <?von though they never get any of tho money Diok Turpin and Jonathan Wlsd never were fonder of haring 4* daring hold-ups that othar highwaymen perpetrated laid to their doers, than are these modern bandits of being credited with ruthless deeda, that they did not commit. But Jim. 'twas I who sold Pennsylvania every morning for a year, while the selling was explained by tho press as 'CaasaK outtlng down Gould’s telegraph poles Gould and old man Rockefeller selling Pennsylvania to get oven.' Jim Randolph. I have to-day a billion dollars, not the Rockefeller or Carnegie kind, but a real billion. If I had ao other power but the poWter to caH to-morrow for that billion la cash, it would be sufficient to lay in waste the flnancial world before to-morrow night. Tou are welcome, Jim, to any part of that billion, and the more you take the happier you will make me, but when I strike In again, don’t attempt to stay me, for it will do no good ’* Shortly after this talk Bob left for Burope with Beulah. A groat German expert on brain disorders had held out hops that a six moath's treatment at his sanitarium in Berlin might aid in restoring her mind They returned the following August. The trip had been fruitless. It was plain to mo that Bob was tho same hopelessly desperate man as when he left more hopeless, more deoporste If anything than when he warned me of his determination.

When he left for Europe "the Street” breathed more freely, and as time went by and there was ao sign of his confidence-disturbing Influence in the market, the ’’System" began to bring out ita deferred deals. Times were ripe for setting up the most wildly inflated atock lamb-shearing traps. It had been advertised throughout the world that Tom Reiahart, now a two-hundred-time millionaire, was to censolldate his and many other enterpriaes into one gigantic trust with twelve billions of capital. His Union aad Southern, Pacific railroads, his Southern lines, together with his steamship company and lend, iron, and copper mines, were to be merged with the steel, traction, gas, and other enterprises he owned Jointly with “Standard OU.” Seme of the railroads owned by Rockefeller and his pale, tn which Reinhart had no part, were to go In too. and with these was to unite that mother hog of them all. “Standard Oil” itself. The trust was to be an enormcus company, the like of which had until then not even been dreamed of by the most daring stock manipulate?.. The "System's” banks, as well ns trust and insurance companies throughout the country, had for a long time been getting into shape by concentrating the money of the country for thin »onst«>r trust. It was newspaper aad news bureau gossip that Reinhart ned his crowd had beught mil lions of shares of the different stocks lnrelved in the deal, and it was common knowledge that «pen lte successful completion Reinhart’s fortune would be in the aelghhorhood of a billion.
