"For days the market has been i none too strong." Jim explained, j ."A week ago I thought it just one |; of the not unusual market uncer tainties. I had my holdings, and | ihose of our friends, in hand. But ' there came a day when a rumor was | whispered about. It sent the stock i down—down—down. That day 1 | began to buy. "It vrtis natural, inevitable that 1 ' should buy. Perhaps it was with j' this hope that whoever started the i: rumor spread it abroad. I had to | ; buy—to protect my holdings, to | : keep the price of the stock up, to j ' safeguard our friends. I thought!' ordinary conditions everything ' 1 would have been all right.

The rumor was that I had faked production records to— sell slock. I didn't. Did anyone? Or —did —someone—tamper with the flow to drive the shares down and ruin me?

"I can't. I tell you 1 can't! But there's one thing I can do. It's the only decent, honest thing to do. I'm going to sec 'em through. And the only way to do it is to trace that rumor, run down the cause, nail the crookedness at its source!" "What are—you—planning? T asked, fear close to my own heart now, for Jim's eyes were blazing with a light which boded no good for any man implicated, in the de cept ion. "What am 1 going to do?" Jim laughed, his hands clenching ipto my shoulder until I grasped with the pain he didn't realize he was caus ing. "Why, I'm going to trace the cause to its source. I'll nail the lie.

The crooks know they've bled me white, so —they've stopped driving it down. They'll wait. They'll give me time to gather more money— weeks perhaps—and then they plan to bleed me again.

Doris Courtney lived up to her resolution not to "sit and mope" whife Hugli Rodney was away. Always fond of society, this Au tumn she seemed to enjoy it more than ever. Ruth was sometimes bored by teas, dances and recep tions. Not so her sister. "Ruth is younirer than I ani, yet she actually behaves as it she were older." Doris confined one evening to Will Dayton, with whom she was dancing. Don't you think she is very grave for lier age?" Young Dayton hesitated before answering. "Why, no I do not," he said at last, a flush of embar rassment on his face. "I think she is quite natural." Doris smiled to herself. She had suspected that this fellow was in love With Ruth, and his words con firmed her suspicion. "Well, she is a dear, anyway— even if she is wiser and more se date than 1 am," she commented. The man said no more and Doris was rather glad when the fox-trot ended and Will Dayton claimed , Ruth for the next waltz. Doris I watched lier sister and felt a I slight pang of pity for the man ■when his eager greeting brought no flush of pleasure to Ruth's face l Doris, on her part, turned to wel ! come Ralph Norton, her partner for this dance. "I am glad to have you after Mr. ' Duvton," she smiled. "He bores me stiff." . , „ "He does not bore Miss Ruth, | Norton remarked. "1 have been i wondering if they are going to make a match of it." "Oh. 1 don't know,"Doris said. "I rather hope that Ruth will not decide too soon on the man she will marrv. It is a bit of a mistake— i isn't it?—for a girl to be engaged fast and firm too early in the ac tion. It is always possible that she may change her mind, you know." Without seeming to do so, she cast a scrutinizing glance at her companion. She saw the grim ! clenching of the teeth under the dark moustache, and felt a thrill of satisfaction at this outward cvi i dence of his inward perturbation. "I wonder how much you know about that," he asked very low. "Perhaps you will honor me by giv ing me your confidence some time." Purposely she had led him on to wonder if she were engaged. Not by open assertion, but by sugges- I tions that bad awakened his alarm and curiosity. For she knew that he was falling in love with her. The knowledge 1 was agreeable. Surely the fact that she was betrothed to Hugh Rodney , did not mean that other men must i avoid her. It was not her faulty if i they succumbed to her charm. Yet of course, she loved Hugh best of all. Later, in her own room, she said ! as much to Ruth. The girls had slopped on the sec ; ond floor to bid their mother good ! night, for Mrs. Courtney made it her boast that she "never slept a j wink until both the children were 1 safe at home." "You had a good time, did you?" "1 will tell you about it to-morrow, i Go to sleep now." Then, closing the door between i her mother's room and her own, she 1 beckoned her sister into her sanc ■ turn. "Stay here for a few minutes," she urged. "I want to talk about J the dance. I suppose you know ! that Will Dayton is in love with von. don't you?" j "Did he tell you so?" Ruth par ried smilingly. She did not like the speech, but would not show her • disapproval. "No. of course not," Doris laughed. | "But, I can sec it —just as plainly, i by the way, as T can see that Ralph Morton is in love with me.' Her sisters smile faded. "Dear," she suggested, "is it quite fair to let him care for you when you know, you can never return his feeling. Of course I can't -since I love Hugh so much," Doris aflirmed. "But it's fair enough for Ralph knows that 1 am engaged." Ruth started. "Does he?" she exclaimed. I thought it was to be kept a secret for a while." "So it is—and he will never say a word about it. 1 did not tell him of it until tli is evening. But 1 thought it best- —for reasons of m.v own—do let him know, lie prom ised to keep quiet about it —anil 1 am certain that he will. "Oh, T see!" Ruth rejoined, her voice softened. She thought she understood why Doris had confined in young Mor ton. It was because she thought it only kind to let him understand that she could never care for hiin. Yet when, a few nights later. Doris accepted an invitation from Ralph Norton to go to a concert with him, Ruth was vaguely un comfortable. She said nothing, but Doris felt her lack of sympathy, for she asked abruptly. "You do not approve of my ac cepting Ralph's invitation, do you, I Iluthie?" "It is no affair of mine, dear sis ter." Ruth rejoined. "Only if the, man is in love with you. it but adds fuel to the flame to he with you?" "No." was the blunt rejoinder. "Yet you accept attentions from him." Doiis accused. "Bui I am not engaged to some one else." her sister, said. J. "I told you that Ralph knows of my engagement," Doris reminded her. The argument sounded unanswer able, yet it left Ruth uneasy. She had a fear that Hugh's happiness was not secure, and she had prom ised to keep it safe for him. (To bo continued) Alcohol Blindness Cannot Be Cured New York, Dec. 31.
