“Still bolding his little grudge.” Roberta thought. “Well. I don't blame him. Nevertheless 1 loathe «sulky men.” Crooked Bill received his guest at the door and at once conducted him to the library. "I've got to talk fast, my boy." he began, “before Roberta romes down. I'm supposed to have gone bust In the market—Hillcrest has been gobbled up by my bankers to meet my notes. I'm down to a couple of thousand dollars. In a word, h—l pops generally." Glenn Hackett stared at the old gentleman owllshly. Crooked Bill continued: *1 hope I do not have to as-lire you. Glenn, that In so far as Robby is concerned I’m for you all the way.” “Thank you very much." Hackett replied. “I have suspected as much for quite a while.” ' . . ; “That girl Is too dog-gone high and mighty to suit me."

She’s got to he yanked out of the clouds of romance to earthly practicalities, and In my feeble way I’m attempting to do It. All of her life I’ve been busy spoiling Roberta by granting every wish she expressed and a heap she never thought of expressing. Tlmt’k had business. Now. then, here’s my plan. I came staggering In. play acting rail over the place, and moaned aloud that I was out of the market, that my brokers had sold me out because I didn't dare stay with the game any longer. Well, as a matter of fact I am out of the market My brokers did sell me out—but on the right side of the ledger, and’as a. result I've cleaned up at>out ten millions. I’ve at-ranged with, a trusted friend to pretend he's bought Hillcrest from the hank t.n which I had given a deed. Well, I did give the bank a deed, as security for more money to play this crazy market, but I could afford to. I was miles ahead of the hounds—playing oh margin. I’ve leased this place for July, August and Sep tern her—and Roberta is so sorry for me site’s going to sell out her Uncle Tom's sheep and wool and take care of me the remainder of my days." “Very nice of Roberta, I should say, Mr. J4tham. But then Roberta was always a good sport Witness the sporty manner, in which she took that beating I was-insane enough to inflict on her in a moment of pique. I wish my tongue had cleaved to the roof of my mouth." “Don't you wish anything of the

You've given her one licking and I’m giving her another, bight now she’s figuring ways and means of avoiding all her old friends. She'll ' never place herself tn the position of being pitied by her set, of being pat* ronlxed. of being the recipient of favors she can’t repay.

My boy, a change of fortune Is going to make that girl do some solid, constructive thinking." "Still I do not quite follow you." •’l’m not surprised. Where Roberta is concerned you do not think very clearly. Now. listen to me, my boy. Roberta’s going down to Texas to look after her interests. She didn’t want to go if she could avoid it, but now she’s beginning to think It is her duty • to go. She must be on the job to protect every dollar coming to her from Tom Antrim’s estate She’s the ' Little Mother now. Got to take care .of poor Uncle Bill Latham, or else poor old Uncle Bill will never raise ids head again. I'm going to give you a chance to boa hero, to put Roberta I under obligation to you. Tonight, at dinner, this sad story I’ve just told you Is going to come out. You're going to suspect something and start probing me—and when you discover all Is over you’re going to suggest saving ma" -Howr Crocked Bill rubbed his hands together and smiled a coyote smile. “Vnn’F* vntn* t. roll that thia rise

is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest bull movements ever noted In the market, but that from sources of information you cannot, in honor, divulge, you happen to know that the bears aren't licked, that they have the bulla in a tight corner and that securities are due to crash. Then you rawhide me for not coming to you with my troubles when the going got slippery. You tell me 1 was a tarnation old fool for not doing so; that if I could I only have held on a little bit longer | the tide would have turned and that j you would have been delighted to have I loaned me a million to carry me over. Sa be that?" “Yes, sir. Then whats “Why. I’ll be overcome with emotion and, say : 'Glenn, you ought to know I'd be the last man in the world to suggest a loan from you. of all men —under the circumstances.'* And 1 I’ll give Bobby a look that will liewell, significant. She’ll be grateful to me for not having placed her in position of having to he grateful to you for helping me. But at the same time she’ll be grateful to you for suggesting IL Well, I'll tell you It’s.too late now. that the fat’s In the fire, and you Jump up and yell that it Isn't, “You prance up and down the dining room, thinking hard. Act like a movie actor. Show Roberta, who will be watching yon fascinated, that in an emergency nobody need look beyond you. Prove to her you are a strong man—a quick-thinking, bold, adventurous, brave fellow, but be careful to ignore her completely. Then out with your plan to save the old homestead and the family fortune.” “The plan." Glen Hackett demanded, "the plan ” ('rooked Bill's old eyes fairly popped with delight at the part he was playing. “When I first Jumped into the market. Glenn, I sold twenty-five hundred of a certain stock short Then the stock started up grade, so I sold ouL took my loss and—immediately bought double the amount I had sold, and spread it as thin as I could on margin.” “Excellent strategy." "Well, then, your plan will be to suggest that now. with the stock at its peak price the obvious thing for me to do Is to sell five thousand shares or even ten thousand. Yen'll put up the margin for me. Assure me there Is no risk, that the stock will drop a hundred points within sixty days.* You can cite any number of stocks that have dropped that much—some of them in a week. Here is a list to refresh your memory. Remind me that for a while during th? post-war panic Liberty bonds sold away below par. Advise me tq make the gamble and assure me I will not be called upon for any more margin, that the price of my stock has now reached a point that is unhealthy, wildly speculative, not backed up by assets. Pretty soon It /will begin to slide, and when It has *ild far enough all I have to do is sell out my line, clean up and be back where I started, less the sums I owe you. out that by this method of procedure I can, at least, get back a million dollars, but insist that when I do you must have my solemn word of honor never, never, never to do any more stock gambling.” “How will you receive this philanthropic offer, Mr. Latham?” “I shall be overcome again at this exhibition of your friendship and generosity, but I shall refuse to borrow money from you on my worthless note —and I’ll give Roberta another meaning look. Then, do you know what she'll dor "No." “She’ll get you off in a corner, privately. and make you figure out for her Just bow much money will be required to margin five thousand shares. Then she'll ask you, secretly, to make the deal in her name, and accept an assignment of her Interest tn Tom Antrim's estate at something less than It would bring at a sacrifice sale, as security for the money you will put up for margin. She will Insist on this and reluctantly you let her have her way. “Yon two win now have a delightful secret together. Yon will have a community Interest —my abject, hopeless self. While this mythical deal Is on. not a word of love to Roberta.

There must be do sentiment in this business, of you'll spoil everything. - ‘'Well, in the fulness of time when the market breaks—as you and I know blamed well it will—you make the mythical clean-up, hand me back the deed to Hillcrest and a fake check for my winnings—or rather, let Roberta do IL so she’ll feel that the credit for the coup is all hers—remind me of my word of honor to quit stock gambling, shake hands all around, bld Roberta a somewhat suppressed good-by and announce you are off for a trip around the world, to be gone a year. And at that moment, old son, if you play your cards with the skill and judgment which a lawyer of your proved ability should, Roberta will go with you or Fm fit for an Insane asylum.” •Tm not so certain your plan will work ou,t as perfectly as you appear to think, Mr. Latham,” Hackett replied doubtfully. “Os course it will. Why not? Ro berta will be serious now. No more flirting, no more attempting to work Iher wiles on you to see you squirm and satiate her with a sense of her I power over you. She’ll begin to study you then, to appreciate the fact that you have qualities she must respect; she'll feel grateful to you, but owing to the fact that she secured your loan the obligation will be more mine than hers.
