- & Money" S 4/ CHARLES GRANT

CHaHer’xxvb Alspaugh’s stock, along with the res' of the market, continued to fall. A few more days of anguished watching of the ticker, and his new margin was wiped out. Again his broker called for more money, or, as an alternative, for authority to prevent further losses, by immediate sale of the declining securities. The only star in Homer's darkness now was his faith in his chief, and even this was fitfully obscured by clouds of doubt. Had Jasper Ingram taken on too big a load even for a superman to carry? Alspaugh had hot fits and cold tits. At times he asked himself frantically what he was going to do to avert ruin. Then growing bold, he told himself that he might as wall be hung for a sheep as for a lamb and did the only thing open to him. He used more of Ingram's money to cover his margins. Everybody about the office noticed Alspaugh’s nervousness. Dark rumors were based ,on it, for he was deeper in the chief’s confidence than anyone, and it was surmised that his condition must be due to some secret crisis in the company’s ' affairs. On the day Ingram went to Washington, ostensibly for an appeal to the R. F. C.. Homer was so nervous he could only make a pretense of attending to his work. Everything depended on the outcome of this application. It was maddening to be kept in suspense about the success of the opening negotiations, and about the final outcome. Yet he knew that he would have been useless to the chief if he had been taken along, for his hands were so unsteady he could not make a legible note. All day. as he sat hunched at his desk drawing weird figures on the blotter, he pictured Jasper Ingram returning with news that the loan had been summarily refused, saw him revising his plans, drawing in, striking off his list the one company that mattered to Alspaugh. and heard him casually take up the question of that private account. He was in a pitiable state when he arrived bom- that night, and Marian looked at him with cold distaste. “You’ve got the worst case of jitters I ever saw.” she said. "What on earth's the matter with you? I hope to goodness you're not getting flu or anything.” Homer w as not touched by this soIcitude. "I'm all right,” he snapped. •If I have the jitters, it’s because the whole damned country has ’em. When Jasper H. Ingram has to apply to the R. F. C. for money, that’s the beginning of the end —you mark my words.” “I’m glad you aren’t sick, anyway.” Marian said, “because I made a date for us to play contract at the Club.” Homer cackled suddenly. “And the way I'm feeling tonight' What do you suppose that'll set us back? Is this a time to throw money away? I couldn’t keep who bid what in m.y head tonight. My own idea's to get tight—costs less, anyhow.’’ "Al! right,” she said indifferently; “you get tight and we’ll pick up another fourth.” “You’re a hell of a wife!” He stared at her with bloodshot, accusing eyes. “Don’t care what I do, do you? Don't care how I feel— Why can't you act human, when you see me like this?” “Really, Homer, if you haven’t more tact than to bring your business w orries home to upset me when you know that since my accident I've been a nerv—" “You! You! You!” he shouted. "What about me for a change?” He pulled her to her feet and pointed to her reflection in the mirror over the mantel. “You look like a nervous wreck, don't you?” It was true that the excitement of Marian’s latest love had refreshed her, set her blooming richly, quickened her vitality and her physical appeal. His tormented face beside , hers was incongruous, pitiable. “You look so healthy and so pretty and so damn kissable—l’m not going to stand for your guff about , being sick any more!” His hands clutched st her. He kissed her ferociously. Marian saw all her plans endangered in this crisis that had come on so suddenly she hardly knew how to meet it. She found refuge in women’s crowning defensa— weak-

able In tha senate. Sen Carter Glass. D.. Va.. who led the fiKl»< easinat the $4,880,000,000 work-re-lief appropriation last year, indicated support of the $1,500,000,000 request. Sen Alva, H.

K Mich., said he would not vote fir a lump sum appropriation Senate Republican Leader Chayka L. McNary said •congress should make no appropriation without a

ness. Sha uttered a sharp, chokeu . cry and sagged in his arms, taxing Homer’s strength to support her. I "Now what—T” he cried, more in disgust than alarm -Marian, you i behave!” He didn’t believe in her , faint, and when his commands and > pleadings failed to bring her out of it, he gripped her shoulders and shook her. Marian forced herself to remain limp, and uncertainty stopped him. Maybe after all . . .? The doctor had dropped a word or two about shock after her accident. Homer lowered his wife to the chesterfield and looked at her doubtfully. She let one white arm drop to the floor, taking a smart rap on the knuckles and not wincing. After a minute or two she thought she might open her eyes and did so just in time to save herself from a dash of cold water, for Homer was hastening towards her with a brimming glass. She took it from him and drank, with a smile of gratitude. “You see!” she said pathetically. "Oh yes. I see.” His response was sour, for he was still not sure that she wasn’t fooling him. "You’re all right as long as I let you alone, is that it?” "Yes. dear. I think so. I feci much better now. I even think I might go on over to the Club, after I’ve rested a little. Y’ou'll come, won't you, even if you won't play bridge?” “No, I won’t!” he exploded. “I'll drive you over, but somebody else will have to bring you home. I'll go right back into town and see a show or something. I’ve got to get my mind off the market and J. E. and his damned loan.” “Go ahead and have a good time!” she urged generously. Half hour later, at the Club. Marian went to a booth and called a New York number. "He's coming into town on the 8:02,” she said. “Will you see that one of your men follows him?” • • • Homer walked out of the Pennsylvania station a prey to such a tangled complex of emotions that the shadowing skill of the man who trailed him was quite wasted. He would hardly have noticed it if a platoon of policemen had fallen into step behind him. He wanted to forget, far just a few hours; and in planning the night before him he was already beginning to forget. He gave the taxi driver the address of the speakeasy to which he had taken Cathlcen. and then he had. several drinks. Each of them flung the suspense about Ingram, the specter of the day of reckoning, further away from the warm exciting present and the immediate future. He took a little book out of his breast pocket and turned to a list of telephone numbers, with initials appended, at the back. He drew blanks on the first three numbers he called. But the next girl—Dot Whiting—was in. It was so long since he had called her that he had to identify himself pretty thoroughly before she remembered him. Then she became agreeable. "Oh, boy! Am I glad to hear your voice?” she cried. "Os course you can come over, but how about something to eat first? Where shall I meet you?” • • ♦ Whenever Laura Ingram closed her eyes she saw the Infanta’s rubies glowing in the darknt The possibility of owning those royal and historic jewels had taken possession of her. She must have them. She considered the contents of the wall safe in which she kept her own ornaments, a collection large enough and valuable enough to have stocked a small exclusive jeweler’s i shop. Perhaps the firm from which most of these things had been nur- ' chased would buy some of them [ back, since she was among its beat • customers.

banks, officials of the treasury, and ■ prominent financiers whom she often entertained, deferred to her and sedately flirted with her. At her own table, they flattered her by ap- i pearing to take her views seriously. j As a result, she felt she had a footing in the financial world. She knew, at least, that she had influential friends there. • She decided to consult one of these men—Patrick Higgins—as soon as her husband was safely off to Chicago. The carefully-groomed, baldheaded bank president listened with respectful interest to Mrs. Ingram's description of the Infanta's rubies, her passionate asseveration that she simply had to have them, and her admission that Jasper did not want to buy them for her. "He thinks we might be criticized for spending so much on jewels at this time," she explained, it having been impressed on her by Ingram that, for the sake of his prestige, no money shortage must ever be admitted. "But what I say is, we should look on these jewels as an inveitmtnt. With all this wild talk of inflation, it may be no bet- 1 ter to save dollars than it was to save marks in Germany! Rubies will always be extremely valuable. Perhaps you don't know how very small the supply of them is. They're not like diamonds of which I believe they have tons stowed away on the Rand. “So I wondered if you couldn't suggest something. Mr. Higgins.... Some way by which I could secure these jewels without involving my husband. Half a million dollars! It isn't very much, really. I'm sure we spend more than that on the upkeep of the two houses here without counting the Florida place, or all that my husband spends on his yachts and the dozens of people he pensions. I don’t consider this disproportionate, for our position!” Mr. Higgins polished the lenses of his pince-nez, and mused helpfully over her problem. "Why not simply borrow on your personal note, Mrs. Ingram? Your contention that you have a financial standing of your own is perfectly Sound, it seems to me.” “On, could I do that’ Just sign a paper, do you mean?” “I think I may say that my bank 1 would discount your personal note, but in the sum you are seeking. I am afraid we could not make the loan for more than say, thirty, or at most, sixty days.” “You mean I might have to pay the money back in a month?” she cried in dismay. “M’m, possibly not, possibly we could renew the note, perhaps somewhat reduced, when it falls due.” "You couldn't lend me the money for. say, a year? Or even six months—” Mr. Higgins, while assuring her that there would be little difficulty in getting her note renewed, was equally sure that it could mt be drawn for a longer period than thirty days. Mr. Higgins wn not averse to the idea of having his bank owed a considerable sum of money by—in effect?—Jasper H. Ingram. Laura had not the vaguest understanding of the forces she wa« meddling with, of the potentialities, gooif and bad. of half a million dollars. She was not aware that the note which she was to sign a few days later was in reality a w eapon which she put into the hands of one of Ingram’s shrewdest business enemies. This business antagonism existed despite the fact that she had recently been urged to entertain Mr. Higgins. Elated, triumphant, she sent for ■ the Marques d Alhuiis and asked him to bring the tiara and dog-col-iar with him. Afterwards she drove to Cartier's, and spent a delightful hour there, enjoying the admiration and interest that inc rubies I evoked, and arranging for their re- > setting. When the rubies, in their new glory, were delivered under guard ■ to Grangcficlds, Laura locked tha I door of her room and plaved with • them by the hour as, when a little girl, she had played with her dolls. • A dozen times a day she would take ' them from the safe, and only after wearing the jewels in this seclusion , for a long while would she lock them - up again. ■ (To Be Continued) •J ' lit-, bj Ku>« (MIurKSIbSMSM.
