One of the rea sons for his success was his human curiosity in people, whether high or low The big Wall Street "plunder" was tond of saying that niere was no subject so interesting as the study ol a human face—th'at the panorama of a city street held far more expression and Inspiration than the greatest book ever written, or the most eloquent ser mon ever preached. With his first glance at his present visitors he rose tmpulsive>y to his feet They were two young and very pretty women— and In some vaguely indefinable way different from the young women with whom his meteoric career had brought lllm Into contact. He fumbled for their cards, which the vrrant had left on the hlg table served tllm as a private desk "Mr Maxwell?'' said the foremost of the two young women In a direct busi ness-like tone And at his nod of af rtrmation "My name is Miss Hartley. And tnis is Miss Davenport. I knew you are a busy man." she continued, as he bowed, "and we are not going to take up much of your time. The reason for our visit hriefly Is—this." She took from her hand bag a folded newspaper, and her daintily cloved finger pointed to a group of heavy head-lines on the first page. Maxwell Khrugged, and laughed rather impatiently "Does the newspaper exaggerate?" continued his questioner. "No—as a matter of fact It tells the exact ruth ' Maxwell shrugged again. More so-called Social Workers," and "Women with a mission." Rut he veiled the thought and the resultant disappointment, and waited for them to continue "Tnen you have determined to give half of the fortune which you have made in the manufacture and sale of war munitions tc practicable charity?" continued tils charming questioner Maxwell nowed again silently "No. we have not come to help you spend it!' said his interviewer quick ly. as though divining his thought. "We don't even intend to ask you for a donation for any pet charities! It so happens that we are Interested In much the same things which evidently appeal to you. and as a business prop osition. it occurred to us that quite possible we could work in conjunction in several directions' Then Mona out lined a plan to have him help »hem In their campaign against dlffsrent people. "Yot: Interest me. young v>oman," said Roland Maxwell "Please go on."

"Come up," he growled after a moment's parley over the wire The frown returned to his face, but this time It was of an en tirely different character, and when the door of his suite again opened, ha crossed the floor with his features set coldly and his eyes narrowed grimly. Two men entered the room, both with outstretched hands, and effusive smiles Regardless of the obvious coldne3s In Maxwell's attitude they caught his hand and pumped it up and down with expansive cordiality, after which, they lighted fresh cigars, and stood survey ing him with their bubbling geniality if possible Increasing Instead of dimin ishing.
