I don’t say I intend to sell, but I wired Jacobs Co. fer the’r bat otter on my way down." Just then a' messenger boy came in with a telegram Hillyer opened it with shaky fingers, but when he read it he laid it on his desk quite calmly. a gleam of triumph in his eye. “Jacob otters $1.121/1," he said im- nmqsively as he looked at the cotton “Oh, you mean wheat,” said Buckley indifl'erently as he went to his desk. “That’s Mr. Hillyer’s aflalr.” “Why, it I wanted to realize," re- plied the young man. “I’d telegraph for the best offers right away.
