The teachers went on record as opposetl to any change in the wage scale at present. Seymour.—Although most of the wheat in Jackson county is in splendid condition, there is danger that it would suffer damage from cold weather, according to farmers. The winter has been so mild that the roots are not deep in the ground and a hard freeze would tend to draw them out. There are indications that the Hessian fly is attacking some fields. The wheat at this time is estimated at 80 per cent normal condiion.

CHATER Xlll.—Continued. —l7— Near the close of the day’s session, without exactly knowing why. he went on the ’•floor” for a few minutes. A < man shouted In his ear: “July’s gone to a dollar and a half!” Without answering, without even’ looking at the man, he stood watching the monster turmoil. The uproar was deafening. The old speculator turned away. Very carefully, very slowly, he made his way through the hurly-burly, descended the steps that led to the ground floor, bls hand sliding Jerkily along the banister. When he entered his broker's office his hair was no more white than his face, and as he sat down and held his hand a moment over Ids eyes his fingers trembled as one afflicted with palsy. It was the first, time In his twenty-odd years of speculating that he had been seen unnerved. He looked at his broker and shook his head. “He’s done it.” he said, with a pitiable pretense of smiling. “He’s done It, Howard. He’s got us. He's cornered the market.” Authoritative news of the corner went out over the land. The name of Daniel Randolph Fitzhugh loomed gigantic on the financial horizon. He controlled all the wheat. He could exact for it whatever price he wanted. If he chose, he could get fifty dollars a bushel. He was the King of Wheat. His name became a household word. Scarcely a man. woman, or child in the middle West but prattled of him. The farmers lauded him as a benefactor of humanity. Others condemned him as a thief. Thousands of letters of every description flooded his mail. Loaves of bread dwindled in size. Mutterings reached him. His life was threatened. His wealth multiplied with prodigious leaps. At no time could he tell how much he was worth. He knew it was more than fifteen millions and less j than thirty. Then there came a day when be was to settle with Otis. The defeated gladiator made the appointment for i eleven o’clock that morning in Fitz- ; hugh’s office. At five minutes to eleven Fitzhugh was alone awaiting h’m. He had given orders that none but Otis was to be । admitted, and that afterward they I were not to be disturbed. As ho lolled : back In his cushioned chair before the mahogany desk, and gazed round the i luxurious room, a reverie came over । him. He recalled his first venture In I wheat, made with a few thousands I won in a poker game: he remembered j the time he had worked for Quigg for ' four hundred dollars a month. And [ ’hen, his memory slipping bls control and leaping back further still, he thought of the time when—No! Had he been a dishwasher? Had he slaved I In the scullery of a filthy kitchen for a miserable weekly pittance? The door opened. Symington Otis entered. In these days of his monarchy Fitzhugh saw many sorts of characters exposed raw and naked to his gaze. He saw men come cringing to him, begging and pleading. He saw others enter. , blustering and trying to outface him. | Otis behaved in neither manner. He ! walked in quietly, and, closing the door, remained standing, with no greeting whatsoever. He looked ten years older than his actual age. Fitzhugh returned to bis chair. The silence had lasted fully half a minute before he spoke. “It has been agreed. Mr. Otis, that I shall deal with you as I see fit.” Otis nodded. He did not speak. “My rule has been to give no quarter and ask none. I see no reason why ; your case should mark an exception. 1 see every reason why it should not. ‘ For eight years or more your hand has ■ been against me. You have opposed I my ventures, obstructed my path, hinI dered me in every way.” “I came here,” interjected Otis coldly, “to talk business; not to discuss our personal affairs.” “And we are going to discuss those affairs. Mr. Otis”—Fitzhugh rose, and, with his hands resting on the desk in front of him, leaned toward his visitor, who now stood opposite—“l will let you out of my corner on only one condition.” “Which Is?” “That you tell your daughter—” “You need not go further! I will consider nothing that involves my family.” “Then you refuse to deny to her —” “Absolutely I” “ —the preposterous falsehood you repeated?” “I repeated no falsehood. It was the truth.” “It was a lie! The woman is dead now, and I shall say nothing against her. But you. and you only, can undo ’ the wrong she did me.” “Mr. Fitzhugh. 1 must ask you to come at once to business.” “For the final time, will you tell her—” "No! Absolutely, no!” “Then you will take the alternative." Fitzhugh turned and pressed one of • the pearl buttons on bis desk. His expression was one many Chicagoans had seen to their sorrow since last July; the facial muscles tense, the stern jaw thrust forward, his eyes hard as agate. A young man entered. Fitzhugh nodded to him, and he departed, returning presently with a small, roundtop table, which he placed near the desk. In the center of the table was a plush box not unlike a jeweler's rlng- ■ case Otis looked on as a child wlm fears the dark. He had not even a remote idea of what the box contained, ! nor could he imagine what the table ‘ oortended, yet he felt, nevertheless.

that some sinister torture was impending. , “You are short to us,” said Daniel, after locking the door upon his employee, “seven million bushels of wheat ranging in price from ninety-six cents to a dollar and ten. I am going to r settle our transaction in less than one • second.” He crossed to the table, picked up the little box, pressed a spring in the side; the lid flew open, and he extract- * ed a new gold eagle, which he held up between thumb and forefinger. “This i will settle it. A fitting emblem, Mr. Otis. Gold ! What a sermon you and I I might preach upon it!” ‘ Tried beyond all patience. Otis cried out: “Come to the point! What’s ' your object?” Fitzhugh laughed. It was the same mirthless laugh that had once reminded Hunt of a wolf baring its fangs. ‘ He poised the coin. "Heads or tails. 1 which do you want? If I win, your wheat will cost you two and a quarter a bushel —” "Two —merciful God! man, that price will ruin me!” “Os course it will.” Fitzhugh replaced the eagle In the box, breathing audibly a sigh of relief. “Now then, I I think we understand each other. If you will only go to her—” "I won't consider that!” “You know the alternative.” “It makes no difference. I will not consider it!” “Very well”—poising the coin as before. “Heads or tails?” “Stop this asinine playing!” "Should you win you will have just enough to live on modestly.” "The idiocy of such a thing!” Fitzhugh again gave his discomfiting laugh. “I don't agree with you. All our mighty warring, proclaimed broadcast in every country of the world, has been nothing more than a game of heads-and-tails. You l»et wheat would fall. I bet it would rise fi - ।ii - Jr " If “But You, and You Only, Can Undo the Wrong She Did Me.” I won. The toss of a gold coin will add tin artistic climax. Wait I” as Otis made an attempt to Interrupt. "I'm not through. If you will do as I ask, you will not lose a cent. You will get your wheat—” "I will not do it!” “Once and for all, will you save yourself?” "In the way you ask—never!” "Then, you will take the consequences I” Daniel seized the gold piece. “W»’’l toss for it; and if I win you will go bankrupt.” Otis, who had remained standing throughout the conversation, groped behind him for a chair, staring aghast at his opponent. There could be no doubting his seriousness. There was not a trace of merriment in his hard face. Nor a vestige of compassion. “Then you do mean it?” “Every word of it I” The groping hand struck a chair. Otis sat down, clutching tremblingly at the arm, moistening his lips. “Tails.” he whispered, but so indistinctly he was asked to repeat the word. “Hoads,” he said, more firmly. Fitzhugh spun the coin into the air. It fell upon the polished table with a little ring. The older man's face grew suddenly ghastly, and the two heavy furrows extending from his nose to the corners of his mouth deepened. He was on the verge of a collapse. “What is it? Quick!” i Fitzhugh bent and looked at the gold eagle. “Heads," he said. CHAPTER XIV. Daniel's career in La Salle street closed with his corner in wheat. Ter--1 ruinating the ocean of details, he sailed forthwith for Paris. “For a long holiday,” he told his friends. But it was really for quite another purpose. ' Hunt, who swore by the man and ’ potently believed him the greatest he had ever known, settled his specula- > tive deals and went with him. One evening in the Case Martin they • met Artie Sparkle. Artie had long ; since become an expatriate, due. according to gossip, to unrequited affec- । tion and hope too often deferred. He was with a brilliantly gowned woman of the French boulevard type, who wore > just a little too much rouge, just a few t too many diamonds, and a gaiety of manner just a trifle too effervescent. > Artie’s animosity toward his former rival had very obviously been buried, or forgotten, for lie pounced joyfully > upon the two Americans, and with gusto and eclat presented them to her

of the gorgeous plumage—his wife of the month. Then more wine was ordered to toast the bride, and Artie extolled ecstatically the bliss of connubial life, touching in particular upon his own, which to him, of course, was unparalleled and paramount. Gradually the talk turned upon other topics, with the benedict easily leading. “I read all about it in Lunnon, deah fellow.” This to Daniel. “Frightfully devah of you, I must say, getting all that grain and freezing out the othah chaps. . . . And poor old Otis; I saw him in Carlsbad last week. He looks dreadfully done for. I feah the poor fellow won’t last long.” Always the mention of Otis’ name spelled bad moments for Daniel. Since that Indian summer day when millions had hung upon the toss of a coin the aged speculator, as Daniel knew, had been a bowed-down man. He never visited the pit again. He never went near it. The memory of its roaring sent a shudder through him. He was care-worn, listless, comfortless. He had lost his "nerve.” Grain gambling topics were taboo in his household, and those who valued his good will | found it politic not to broach such in his hearing. When in October he had left for the German “ ’bad” cures he was broken in health as well as in spirit. His quest was fruitless. One May morning in Florence Daniel read at Ids breakfast table of Otis’ ' death. He had died in mid-ocean en route to New York. IL* jmt down his newspaper, beckoned the waiter, ordered some cablegram forms. leaving his breakfast untouched, and Hunt's questions uni answered, he wrote a lengthy message to a Chicago trust company that specialized in mortgages. He fretted with impatience until he received an answer; and then, having read it, he tore it up and sighed hopelessly. Daniel heard afterward that Otis had left nothing beyond his life insurance. The house on the drive had gone, and with it all the pomp of circumstances. Mrs. Otis was residing I temporarily in Oconomowoc. Kathleen | was with her. **«*•*• Early in June of that year two wealthy Americans, who had made their* “piles” In July wheat, booked first-class transportation from Rome to Chicago. When they boarded the liner at Naples there embarked with them a quarter of a million dollars' worth of European art treasures. When they left the liner nt New York the name of the tall, distinguished-looking one. of the black Vandyke beard and white ducks, was not Daniel Randolph Fitzhugh. It was his own, Hugh Daniel Fitzrandcdph. This name Juggling had heralded their coming, and they were surrounded at the pier by a phalanx of sharpeyed men armed with cameras. Daniel greeted them warmly, shook j hands, gave them cigars, and waxed so i jovially humorous about his malleable I patronymic that he was voted a shln- | ing member of the Good Fellows’ club and lauded as a thoroughgoing, fine sort. Nothing derogatory was printed I of him in the New York newspapers; ; and the eccentricity of one's using one's family name for a “komical kutout” was made to appear a very natural thing for one to do. His arrival in Chicago received a similar reception. The thing he had long been planning. the tiling that had prompted his trip abroad, which had necessitated the proper rearranging of his name, was made public. With a fanfare of trumpets, a sounding of cymbals, a beating of tom-toms, Hugh Daniel Fitzrandolph inaugurated his campaign for the Chicago mayoralty. In the primary election these were nominated: Hugh Daniel Fitzrandolph, advocating pure politics; Sam Buffington, fat and puffy and a tool of the trusts; John Dinwoody, lean and lank and a patron of vice, and Ivan Skimkus, skiyny and erratic and a champion of the working man. Before the primaries, Daniel's chief rivals, Buffington and Dinwoody, took scant notice of him, shelving him In a category with Skimkus, the Socialist, who had no chance whatever. After his nomination they changed their views. They suddenly realized many things; realized he had been working hours to their minutes; that his enormous volume of advertising was not unproductive of results; that he had a happy faculty of making friends wherever he went; that his popularity was booming daily; and that he controlled nearly as many votes as they. This would never do, decided Buffington and Dinwoody. They immediately set about to crush the intruder who presumed to enter a domain always exclusively their own. Thus, when the papers supporting the malcontents were not casting their harpoons at each other, they took time to shy a concerted volley at the interloper. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Despised Wares.

Betty, four years old, lives in a modern apartment in Brooklyn, facing Prospect park. She knows all the squirrels in the park and the birds that stay there ia the summer. For several weeks Betty has been lonesome because all her leathered friends went in search of warmer weather, but now she has plenty of company again. Wild ducks are her newest friends. The ducks coming alight in Prospect i park lake and generally remain a week or two to rest and feed. They are ! wary of men, but not afraid of children, if Betty is an example. The other day she was walking with her father, a duck hunter. Betty noticed she couldn't get near the ducks while she was with her father, but when she left him and ran along the shore alone she found she could approach them. After a little coaxing the ducks swam up and ate pieces of popcorn from her hand. “And I have to crawl through a | swamp on my hands and knees to get । within gunshot of them,” mused her i father. —New York Sun. — The sparrow can fly for short distances at the rate of about SO miles an hour.
