A Mystery Story of San Francisco BY EARLE ASHLEY WALCOTT

The King of the Street looked at me sharply. "Any orders?" I asked at last. "Bo where I can eall you the minute I want you." he replied. "IJow, my boy," he continued after a minute, "you ase going to see what hasn't been seen In tke Boards for years, and I reckon you'll never see It again." "What Is It?" I asked politely. I was prepared for almost any kind of fireworks in that arena. Doddridge Knapp made no reply, but raised his hand as if to command Btlence, and a moment later the call of Omega was heard. And, for a marvel, a strange stillness did fall on the throng. At the word of call I saw Doddridge Knapp step down to the floor of the pit, calm, self-possessed, his shoulders sqnared and his look as proud and forceful as that of a monarch who ruled by the might of his sword, while a grim smile played about his stern mouth. The silence of the moment that followod was almost painful, when the voice of Doddridge Knapp rang lfk a trumpet through the Board-room. , "Five hundred for Omega!" This was a wild jump from 325 that waB marked against the stock at the close on Saturday, but I supposed the

King of the Street knew what he was j about. At the bid of Doddridge Knapp a few cries rose here and there, and he was at once the center of a group of gesticulating brokers. Then I saw Decker, pale, eager, alert, standing by the rail across the room, signaling orders to men who howled bids and plunged wildly into the crowd that surrounded his rival. The bids and offers came back and forth with shoute and barks, yet they "mada'but a murmur conpared to the whirlwind of sound that had arisen fronv the pit at the former struggles I had witnessed. There seemed but a few blocks of the stock on the market. "This i3 great," chuckled Wallbridge; taking post before me. "There hasn't been anything like it since Decker captured Chollar In the election of '73. You don't remember that, I guess?" "I wasn't In the market then," I admitted. "Lord! Just to hear that!" cried the stout little man, mopping h4s glistening head frantically and quivering with nervous excitement. "Doddridge Knapp bids 1,500 for the stock and only gets five shares. Oh, why ain't I a chance to get into this?" I heard a confused roar, above which rose the fierce tones of Doddridge Knapp. "How many shares has ho got to

day?" I asked. "Not 40 yet." "And the others?" "There's been about 2,000 sold." I gripped the rail in nervous tension. The battle seemed to oe going against the King of the Street. "Oh!" gasped Wallbridge, trembling with excitement. "Did you hear that? There! It's 1,700 now it's 1,775! Whew!" I echoed the exclamation. "Oh, why haven't I got 10,080 shares" he grwaned. "Who is getting them?" "Knapp got the la3t lot. O-oh, look there! Did you ever see the like of that?" I looked. Decker, hatless, with hair disheveled, kad leaped the rail and was hurrying into the throng that surrounded Doddridge Knapp. "There was never two of 'em on the floor before." cried Wallbridge.

Doddridge Knapp looked grim, but serene, as he sat on the desk with his foot on the protstrate Storey. I breathed softly, and listened to the rising complaints from without. There were thumps and kicks on the door, and at last a voice roared: "What are you waiting for? Break it in."
