x PTET % A es ARTHUR 18 PROMOTED AND MR. GORDON LOSES (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). Arthur's supposition that matters were coming rapidly to a erisis with the A.B.C. Company was verified by the happenings of the next -few days, but I think even he was surprised at the suddenness with which the climax was reached Of course, old Mr. Henderson was nging Arthur merely as a tool, and Arthur wis thoroughly aware of the | fact, but the success of the banker's plans meant that Arthur would be come president, 'or, at least, the ac- tive head of the organization, a pro- motion not to be despised. One can therefore easily imagine the intense interest which Arthur took in each detail of the proposed thange in control, But Mr. Henderson ing with children when he seize control of the A B.C He probably knew, that Mr Gordon | and his clique of associates were the owners of the company, although Arthur and probably other officers of the concern did not know it. The banker, however, was one of those New York financiers who had been schooled in the ways of the mighty Wall street, and he used the tactics of an expert in stalking his prey I do not think I have ever under etood how it all happened, but I learn ed something of high finince while the fight was in progress. As well as 1 could learn, the acquisition of the cofitrol of the company was effected by buying stock in the open market, but what I never did discover was the method which the shrewd old finan- cier used to induce Mr. Gordon and his associates to dispose of enough stock to cause the control of the cor- poration to pass out of th-ir hands. 1 suppoze the customary methods of miarepresentation and trickery were employed, and that the buyers stop- ped only within a hair's breadth of criminal acts in bringing about the end which they sought to accomplish. In any event, the old bauker ac- guired sHghtly more than 51 per cent of the stock. Arthur tried to tell me the details when he came home in the eve of the eventful day It seems that the "battle," as Ar- thur described it, was fought on the floor of the Stock Exchange, Arthur, who knew of the approaching crisis, had ftipped into the spectators' gal- lery, and watched the fight. It was ofie 'of those 'days which the news- papers call by such terms as frantic, panicky, turbulent and the like, _ .. This, in plain English, means that hundreds of thousands of dollars were won or lost in the great gamble.

Af ter all, Arthur was my husband, and Mr. Gorden was but an admirer. Then, too, I was under the spel of Arthur's happiness; while Mr. Gordo was far away.

By ESTHER VANDEVEER | | Miss Susan Atwater kept house fora brother much older than. herself. John Atwater was thirty-eight years old; Susan was nineteen.' John was a law. ver who dabbled in politics--not for office, but because the game interested him. : . While Jolin and his sister were guile chummy, he never talked to her about his professional work or his iuterest in this or that political deal. One day John Atwater told his sister that he must go to attend court in an- other ¢ity and would be gone probably several days. . She was to open his let- tors while he was gone, attend to any- thing needing attention so far as she was able and communicate any matter of which he should be advised. This was asking a good deal, considering that he kept his affairs so rigidly to himself. He had uot been long away Bary & Practical - Home Dress Making = & Lerrons before a letter came for him bearing | the official mark of the governor of the | state. Susan opened it and read: Dear John--1'm going to run down to see you tomorrow. My purpose is to get away from under the harrow for a brief season.

Going to the telephone booth, | she consulted the subscribers' names | and, finding the governors number, | tovk down the receiver and ealled for him. He was sitting at jis desk at the time and answered the call at once. "Is this Governor Martindale?" asked a soft voice. | "Yes, I'm Martindale," "I am John Atwater's sister. My brother is away aud before leaving asked me to open any letters that might come fof him. One came from you stating that you were coming to see him. I thought it advisable to tel- ephone you that he is absent." "Thank you very much. Whenedo you expect your brother home?' "He 'said that be would probably be away several days." "U'm!" The governor seemed to be considering. "You are Miss Susan Atwater, are you not?' "1 am." } "Pve heard your brother speak" of ou. Susie wondered what John could have had to say to the governor of the state about her. Surely she could have nothing to do with the momentous po- litical questions that were discussed between them. "Well," continued the governor, after a brief silence, "I presume 1°11 have to defer my visit. I'm sorry. Very much obliged to you for your information. Goodby." Susie hung up the receiver, feeling much rélieved. Of all the months in the year the month of June is the most delicious, and the morning after Susie Atwater bad headed off the governor was one of thec brightest mornings of that bright month. Susie Atwater, having finished her morning duties, was sit- ting on the porch with some embroid- ery work when she saw a man ap proaching,' dressed in a white flannel suit and a straw hat. He looked to be about thirtyfive years old, and there was something altogether very attractive in his appearance. He stop: ped at the foot of the steps and asked: "Dpes John Atwater live here?" -¥ - "Is be at home?" "No: he ! be gone several days.

IMaving some time on my bands, I thought I would run down to see him. It's a long while since we met." "I dare say he will be greatly disap- pointed to miss your visit." "Not more than IL" The gentleman took out his watch and a railroad time table at the same time and examined both, "There's no train hack till & ¢'clock," he said. "7 shall be happy to do what T can to relieve the tedium of your stay til} then and can give you a bite of lunch: eon." z "Thank you very much." An hour was spent very pleasantly, then Susie went Inside to give some orders about the luncheon. When she returned the two spend anotber hour, during which the stringer made him- sell so entertyining that Susie began to lay plans'for keeping him till ber brother returned. There wus an apol ogy for a chaperon in an invalid aunt, very old, in the house, whose presence would render his stay proper. After luncheon Susie said to ber brother's friend: "If you choose to wait Jon's coming you can be accommodated." "I've been thinking that I wight wait a day or two, but I would not think of intruding upon you. I'm sioppitig at the inn, aud I can as well keep my room there.

While the idea is to give trimness to the figure, there must be no suggestion of restricting snugness about the dress, A A Susie Atwater was desirous of ob- taining the guest's name, but hesitated to ask him point blank. Finally she mustered up courage to do so. "I have a proposition to make," he replied. "When your brother returns he and I will be John and Bob to each other. You and Lie will be John and Sue. That leaves yon and me out in the coid for Miss and Mister. What do you say to our being Bob and Susie till Jon comes home?" 'There was something forceful about the man that prevented her insisting on a more satisfactory reply to her question. She assented to his proposi- tion, though whenever it came to ad- dressing him as Bob she evaded doing so by not calling him by any name at all. She was passing a very delightful season and began to wish her brother would not hurry back, because when he came he would doubtless appropriate much of the visitor's couipany, to her loss. he ' When-Jolhin went away the "several days" she was to spend without him seemed long. His stay really seemed very short. He returned one morning to find his sister and the visitor sitting in the drawing ro¥m on the same sofa, With presence of mind, the latter jumped up and advanced to weet him. "Hello, John!" "Hello, Bob!" "Your sister has been good enough to keep me over." ' "So 1 sec." John grasped his friend's hand; then, turning to his sister, he said: "Sue, this is my college friend, Bob Martindale, better known to the public today as James Robert Martindale, | governor of this state. I'm glad you succeeded in keeping him until my re. turn." "A big job, considering how hard I've tried to get away," replied the governor ironically. This introduction struck Miss At water dumb. She did not try to speak. for she was too much astonished to utter a sound. A dozen considerations rushed upon her in a heap. This young man, full of college pranks, a gov- ernor! And he had come knowing her brother was away and after leading her to suppose he would defer his visit.

To pay your debts you had to save money. But when you had paid your debts did you keep on saving? It is a strange thing, but many men 'who can save money to . pay their debts cannot save money to lay up for a rainy day. If they have mondy in the bank they are all the time tempted to spend it and some day they do spend it. The London Life Insurance Company Pointeth A Way Out. But perhaps you are mistaken in thin®'.g that you have paid all your debts. There is a debt that you owe to your wife and children. If you should die and leave them penniless just think how helpless they would be? Now why not put saving for them on the basis of a debt? Take out a life insurance policy and look on the premium as a debt you are paying to those whom you love. By paying that debt every year you will place them beyond danger of want and your money will be where you will nbt be all the time tempted to spend it, The debt to your family is the most important you have eyer had and if you could save to pay the others you can save to pay it.
