The call closed amid animation; but the excitement was nothing compared to the scene that had followed the fall in the morning. Omega stood at eighty asked, and seventy-olght bid, and the ship of the stock gamblers was again sailing on an even keel. The session was over at last, and Walloridge and Eppner handed me t!.'ir memoranda of purchases. Ton couldn't pick Omega off the bushes this afternoon. Mr. "Wilton," said Wallbridge, wiping his bald head vigorously. "There's fools at all times, and some of 'em were here and ready to drop what they had; but not many. I gathered ia six hundred for you, but I had to ftght for iL" I thanked the merry broker, and gave him a check for his balance. Eppner had done better with a wider margin, but all toW I had added bat tare thousand one hundred snares to ray st. I wondered how nv:eh of this had been sold to me bv my employer. Plainly, if Doddridge Knapp was needing Omega stock he would have to pay for it. There wa3 no one to be seen as I reached Room IS. The connecting door Teas closed and locked, and no sound came from behind iL I turned to arrange the books, to keep from a bad habit of thinking over the inexplicable. An hour passed and no Doddridge Knapp. It wa3 long past office hours. Just as I was considering whether my duty to my employer constrained me wait longer. I caught sight of an envelope that had been slipped nnder the door. It was in cipher, but it yielded to the key with which Doddridge Knapp had provided me. I .made it out to be this: "Come to my house to-night. Bring lour contracts with you. Knapp." I was thrown into some perplexity by this order. For a little I suspected a trap, but on second thought this sev med unlikely. The office furnished as convenient a place for homicidal i versions as he could wish, if those wr re in his intention, and possibly a ?mt to Doddridge Knapp in his own hf.-ise would give me a better clue to his habits and purposes, and a better ctance of bringing home to him his awfu! crime, than a month together on the Street. The clocks were pointing past eight when I mounted the steps that led to Doddridge Knapn's door. I had something of trepidation, after all, as I rang the bell for I wa3 far from being sure that Doddridge Knapp was above carrjmg out his desperate purposes In his own house, and I wondered whether I should ever come out again, once I was behind those massive door. I hid taken the precaution to find a smaller revolver, "suitable for an evening call." as I assured myself, but It dli not took to bo much of a protection in case the house hold a dozen ruffian'? of the Terrill brand. However. I must risk it I gave my name to the servant who opened the door. "This way." he said quietly, and In a moment I was ushered into a small, plainly-furnished room; and at a desk -covered with papers sat Docdridge Knapp, the picturo of the Wolf in his den Sit down, Wilton," said he with grim affability, giving his hand. "You won't mind if an old man tloesu't got up " I made some conventional reply. Sorry to disappoint you this afternoon, and take up your evening," ho said, "but I found some buslnesä that

needed more immodiato attention

There was a little mattor that had to be looked aftor In person." And the Wolf's fangs showed In a cruol smile, which assured mo that tho "llttlo mattor" had terminated unhappily for tho other mnn. I airily profossod mysolf happy to be at his service at any time. "Yos, yes," ho said; "but lot's seo your memoranda. Did you do well this afternoon?" ".'o-o." I returned npolocoticallv. "Not so well as I wished." Ho took the papers and looked over them carefully. "Thirty-one hundred." ho said reflectively. "Those sales were all right. Well. I was afraid you couldn't get above threo thousand. I didn't got moro than two thousand in tho other Boards and on tho Street." "That was tho best I could do." I sum mouesuy. "Tiiey averaged at slxty-ilve. Omega got away from us this afternoon like a runaway horso." "Yes. yos." said tho King of the Street, studying his papers with drawn brows. "That's all right. I'll havo to wait a bit before going furthor." I bowed as became one who had no Idea of the plans ahead. "And now," said Doddridge Knapp, turning on me a keen and lowering gaze. "I'd like to know what call you have to be spying on mo?" I opened my eyes wido in wonder. "Spying? I don't understand." "No?" said ho, with something between a growl and a snarl. "Well, maybe you don't understand that, either!" And he tossed mo a bit of paper. I felt sure that I did not. yiy Ignorance grew into amazomont as I road. The slip bore the words: "I have bought Crown Diamond. What's the limit? Wilton." "I cortainly don't understand," I said. "What doos It mean?" "The man who wrote it ought to know," growled Doddridgo Knapp, with his eyes flashing and the yellowgray mustache standing out like bristles. The fangs of the Wolf were In sight. "Well, you'll havo to look somewhere olse for him," I said firmly. "I never, saw tho note, and never bought a share of Crown Diamond." Doddridge Knapp bent forward and looked for an Instant as though ho would leap upon mo. His eye was tho eye of a wild boast in anger. If I had written that note I should have gone through the window without stopping for explanations. As I had not written it I sat thoro coolly and looked him In the face with an easy conscience. "Well, well," ho said at la, relaxing his gaze, "I almost believe you." "Thore's no use going any furthor, Mr. Knapp, unloss you believe me altogether." "I see you understand what I was going to say," ho said qulotly. "But if you didn't send that, who did?" "Well, if I wore to make a guess, I should say it was the man who wrote this." I tossed him In turn tho note I had received In tho nftornoon, bidding mo sell everything. Tho King of tho Street looked at it

carefully, nnd his brows drew lowof

and lower an Its import dawned on him. Th- lo)k of nnsry perplexity deepened on his faco. "Where did you got this?" I detailed the circumstances. Tho auger that llnalied In Iiis oyo was more eloquent Hum tho outbreak of curses I oxpected to hear. "I'm!" ho said at last with a grim iinl!o. "It's lucky, aftor all, that you had something besides cotton In that skull of yours. Wilton." "A fool might have been caught by it." I said modestly. "Thoro looks to bo trouble ahead." ho said. "There's a rascally gnng in tho market thoso days." And tho King of tho Street sighed over tho dlshonosty that had corrupted tho stock gamblers' trado. I smiled inwardly, but slgnlflod my agreoment with my employer. "Well, who wroto thorn?" ho askod almost fiercely. "Thoy seem to como from tho same hand." "Maybe you'd bettor ask that fellow who had his eye at your koyholo whon I loft the office this noon "Who was that?" Tho Wolf gave a startled look. "Why didn't you toll mo?" Ho was a well-made, quick. Htho follow, with an oyo that reminded me of a snake. I gave chase to him, but couldn't overhaul him. Ho squirmed away in tho crowd, I guoss." "Why didn't you toll mo?" ho said n a steady voico. "I didn't suppose it was worth coming back for. after I got Into tho street. And. besides, you wore busv." "Yes, yes. you wore right: you are not to como of course, of course." Tho King of the Stroet looked at me curiously, and then snld smoothly: "But this isn't business." And he plunged into the papors once more. "Thoro were over nine thousand shares sold this afternoon, and I got only Ave thousand of them." "I suppose Deckor picked tho others up." I said. Tho King of the Street did me the honor to look at me In amazement. "Decker!" ho roared. "How did you--" Then he paused and his voice dropped to Its ordinary tone. "I reckon you're right. What gnvo you tho idoa?" I frankly detailed my conversation witn waiibridgo. As I wont on, I landed that tho bushy brows drow down and a llttlo anxiety showed be neath thorn. I had hardly finished my account when there was a knock at tho door, and the servant appeared. "Mrs. Knapp's compliments, anil she would like to see Mr. Wilton when you are done." he said. I could with difficulty ropross an exclamation, and my heart climbed Into ray throat. I was ready to face tho Wolf in his don, but here was a different matter. I recalled that Mrs. Knapp was a more intimate acquaintance jf Henry Wilton's than Doddridge Knapp had been, and I saw Nlngara nhead of my skiff. "Yos, yos; quite likely," said my employer, reforrlng to my story of Wallbridge. "I heard something of tho kind from my men. I'll know to-morrow for certain, I oxpect. I forgot to tell you thnt the ladies wotfd want to seo you. They havo mlsBed you lately." And tho Wolf motioned me to tho door where tho servant waited. Hero was a predicament. I was missed and wanted nnd by the ladles. My heart dropped back from my throat, and I felt It throbbing In tho lowost recesses of my boot-hools as I rose and followed my guido. CHAPTER XII. Luella Knapp. Two women roso to greet mo as 1 entcrod tho room. , "Good evening," said tho elder wom

an, holding out a-jr hand. "You have

neKlectod us for a long time." Thoro was something of reproach as well as cMltty In tho voice "Yos." I ropllod, adjusting my man or nlcoly to hör, "1 havo boon very limy." "Husy? How provoking of you to sny so! You should nover bo too busy to tnko tho commands of tho Indios." "That Is why I am hero." I lutorrupted with my best bow. Hut she continued without noting It: "Luolla wngored with mo that you would make that oxcuse. I expected something moro original." "I am very sorry." I said, with a reflection of tho bantering air she had assumed "Oh, Indeed !" exclaimed the young er woman, to whom my eyes had turned as Mrs. Knapp spoke her name "How very unkind of you to say so. whon I havo just won a pair of gloves by it. Good evening to you!" And sho hold out her hand. It was with a strong effort that I kept my solf-possession, as for tho first timo I clasped tho hand of Luolla Knapp. Was it tho thrill of her touch, tho glanco of her oyo, or the magnetism of hor presence, that set my pulses benting to a now measure, and gavo my spirit a breath from a now world? What over the case, as I looked into tho clear-cut face and tho frank gray eyes of tho woman before me, I was swept by a Hood of emotion that was nonr overpowering my solf-control. I mnsterod tho emotion in a mo ment and took tho seat to which she had waved me. I was puzzled a little at the tono in which she addressed me. There was a suggestion of resentment In hor man ner that grew on mo as we talked. Can I describe her? Of what use to try? She u-as not beautiful, and "pretty" was too potty a word to apply to Luella Knapp. "Fine looking." if said with tho proper emphasis, might give some idoa of appearance, for she was tall in figure, with features that were mpressive in their attractiveness. Through all the conversation the idea that Miss Knapp was regarding mo with a hidden disapproval was growing on mo. I decided that Henrv had mado some uncommon blundrr on his last visit and that I was suf- i foring tho penalty for It. The admiration I felt for tho young woman di-p enod with every sentence she spoke and I was ready to do anything to re store tho good opinion that Henr might havo endangered, and in lieu of apology exerted myself to the utmost to bo agreeable. I was unconscious of the flight of timo until Mrs. Knapp turned from somo other guests and walked toward us. "Como, Henry," she said pointedly. "Luella is not to monopolize you all the timo. Besides, thore's Mr. Inman dying to spoac to her." I promptly hated Mr. Inman with all my heart and felt not the slightest objection to his demise; but at her gesture of command I rose and arcom pnnled Mrs. Knapp, as a young man with eyo-glasses and a smirk came to take my place. I left Luolla Knapp congratulating myself over my clevernnss in escaping the pitfalls that linet! my way, "Now I've a chance to speak to you at last," said Mrs. Knapp. "At your service," I bowed. "I owe you something." "Indeed?" Mrs. Knapp raised her eyebrows In surprise, "For your kind recommondation to Mr. Knapp." "My recommondation? You have a little the advantage of me." I was stricken with painful doubts, and the cold sweat started upon me Perhaps this was not Mrs. Knapp after all. "Oh. perhaps you didn't mean it. I said. "Indeed I did, If It was a recom mendation. I'm afraid it was uncon scious, though. Mr. Knapp does not consult mo about his busIno3s. I was In doubt no longer. It was the injured pride of the wife that spoke in the tone. "I'm none the less obliged," I said carelessly. "He assured mo that he acted on your words." "What on earth are you doing for Mr. Knapp?" she asked earnestly, dropping her half-bantering tone. There was a traco of apprehenson in her eyes. "I'm afraid Mr. Knapp wouldn't think your rocommondations were qulto justified If I should toll you. Juat got him In a corner and ask him." "I suppose it Is that dreadful stock market." "Oh, madam, lot me say the chicken markot. There Is a wonderful opportunity just now for corner in fowls." "There aro a good many to bo plucked in the markot that Mr. Knapp will look after," she said with a smile. But thoro was something of a worried look behind it. "Oh, you know, Henry, that I can't boar tho market I have seen too much of the misery that has come from it." Sho shuddered as sho looked about hor, as though in fancy she saw herself turned from tho palace Into tho streot. "Mr. Knapp Is not a man to lose," I said. "Mr. Knapp Is a strong man." sho .mid with a proud stralgtonlng of her 11 guru. "Hut the whirlpool can suck down tho strongest swimmer." (TO HI3 COXTIN'lTrCD.) Coin and Compliments. "What would you do If von were a mulU'inllllunalre?' askoil the serious man. "Oh," answered tho flippant frieno, I suppose I would got to yearning for a few kind words, .and endow col.

logea like the roit of Uieia."
