iPEUUHJ8D 1 By DOUGLAS BLACKBURN THE MAGNATE Frelderich Flotmnn, sitting lonely and unnoticed among tbe crowd In Lady Babblngton's drawing-room, looked, and was. Irritable and disap pointed, for, as he would have ex pressed It, he felt "quite out of It." Like many a Colonial Somebody who visits England for the flrat time, he had been as shocked as surprised to find that men like himself are No bodies there. Being small minded and given to looking for ignoble motives, he at tributed It to jealousy, or snobbery. or prejudice against Colonials with un-English names. He was. therefore, a little puzzled and flattered at the obvious Interest manifested In him by the handsome, stately woman who had sung twice to Lady Babblngton's guests. He was certain that she was sing ing at him. True, there was nothing In the words of her songs, so far as he could recognize them, that fitted any event or emotion of his variega ted life, but that the eloquent brown eyes of the singer were mostly fixed upon him he began to feel uncom fortably certain. He was not surprised when, a lit tle later, Lady Babbington glided up to him convoying the singer. "Miss Turland is anxious to know you: she Is very much interested In South Africa," her ladyship gushed. "Doesn't she sing divinely? You must hear her next Monday. You will, won't you?" and, with a patron izing pat on the shapely arm of her protege, she sailed off, leaving the singer to justify the Introduction. Flotman began with a fulsome compliment upon her singing, which Miss Turland gracefully waved aside and came to the point. She hoped he would excuse her boring him, but she did so wonder whether he could tell her anything about a great friend of hers who had been miSBlng somewhere in South Africa for several years. She was sure Mr. Flotman must know him. Flotman waa relieved. He had quite expected to be badgered to buy tickets for Monday's concert, but when several minutes had passed and that subject was not opened up he be gan to wonder what was the real ob jective. That the South African Iriend was a myth he felt certain. The luestlons about bim were vague and Hid, and the apparent anxiety too ukewarm. He was becoming bored then his interest was suddenly ipnrred. Miss Turland somehow Introduced he name of Dowager Lady Boothte. !n what connection was not very ilear. What Flotman gathered was .hat her ladyship was a very great YIend of that embryonic vocal star, md would do anything for her. He encouraged Miss Turland to con inue her eulogies and advertisement if the dowager, for It happened that ler ladyship was among the persons vhom It was his special desire to mow, for she was rich and an in feterate gambler In shares. So he laid himself out to be very tgreeable to Miss Turland. He could e very entertaining to women when le chose, In a half boisterous, half mbmissive way that amused them. When he lingered over Mi3s Tur iand's hand saying au revoir that light he Jubilantly noticed that she nade no sign of hurry to withdraw 'rom his grip, and he knew that he lad made the deep and favorable Im pression he had striven for. Being Jot altogether brutal, he could not epress a slight consciousness that he was playing a contemptible game. He was cozening the singer as the police nan In Rftlri tn nnnnlllala tha nnnb i wrdldly material ends. But, unlike him, Frlederlch Plot Ban's need was urgent, for he was a listressed minor magnate, reduced to the humillatng necessity of peddling lhares In WeBt End drawing roomB. He had come to London with 2, 000. advanced by the bank which held all his available marketable icrlp as security for old loans, and with It was endeavoring to place the hundred thousand shares in the New Jericho Extension a new company hurriedly formed to raise funds for saving the parent property. If It 3 went through Flotman was not only navea, nui made, ir not debacle! Within a week Flotman was a de voted personal attendant on Miss Tur land. A rising singer is permitted a latitude in the matter of cavaliers which carries no penalty of malicious gossip. But, somehow, the lady always contrived prettily to postpone the promised Introduction to the dow ager. ' "Leave It to me." she said? t (know how to manage the old lady. 8he is obstinate, and. like all such! i prefers to believe that everything she idoes is her own initiation. If "you "begin to talk business to her she would probably be rude. Believe me, she will eventually come to you, and' then you can dictate, your own .terms." i As combative business man, Flut man worshiped success, and be recog nized and admired profoundly tbe wondrous way in which Gladys Tur land was commanding it. She was making rapid headway in her profes sion. As" yet she was but a favorably known contributor to the entertain ments of the rich, but she was ex tending her conquests by successful forays from the drawing room to the eoncert platform, and Flotman was aatlsned that it was her irresistible magnetic personality and cleverness which overcame all obstacles. She was just the type of wife for an am bilious, pushing man the only wom- !iBJ?. 1 m9t ,0 ,ar tnat -ired in that capacity. H would marry her. L I .wf at rtai dewing room entertainment, at which the rising .oprano had .cored a nattering uc .... that Flotman wa. .puma to act upon the impulse to put bis fate to the touch. (She had contrived to be alone with Mm in . secluded part of the , mansion, flushed and excited by "e 2di2iU ' t lnU'ne,y u.?..tlc audience, who had overcome their usual dignified restraint by demand ing an encore. Flotman nelzed her by both hands, held her at arms' length for a mo ment while he gazed In boyishly raptuous admiration, then, pressing her helpless against the wall, delib erately kissed her, first on the fore head, then on the mouth. She flushed, but made no sign of resentment or acquiescence. "You muBt marry me," he said. She caught her breath with a little gasp, as if she had received a cold douche, and a look of triumph flashed In her wonderful brown eyes that the dullest man could not misinterpret. "Yes, yes, let me go. Don't agi tate me. I have to sing again." And with a playful caress of her hand on his cheek she slipped away. "They are all cold hearted and afraid of showing their real feelings, these English women," he solilo quized, and, feeling the excusing magnanimity of the lover, he forgave her, and impatiently awaited her pleasure. When three days had passed with out a Blgn he wrote an imploring ap peal for an Interview, and personally delivered it. He was admitted to her pretty drawing room at the flat where she dwelt discreetly under guardianship of an elderly housekeeper compan ion. She was standing dressed for an afternoon call, and looked queenly. He advanced with outstretched arms and a half hysterical cry. "Gladys, what is the meaning of this? Do you doubt me?" She kept him oft with her hand at his breast. Her face flickered with suppressed emotion. He tried to embrace her. "Don't, don't!" With an effort she released her hand3 and seated herself on a chair, where she sat stiff and unapproach able. He was subdued. The frigid man ner and the delicate, fragile draper ies combined to forbid the sacrilege "I may take you at your word," he answered, and held out her hand. He seized and kissed It. "To-morrow at this time." - "It is a good sign that you have come," she said. Her manner was more cordial, almost tender. He sat beside her on the couch, but did not attempt to touch her. "I m )st speak plainly, offensive ly." she began. "You won't object?" "Go on, say all you wish as you wish." "Lady Boothie, as you know, Is my dearest friend. I do nothing without consulting her. She knows of your oiler to me, but Bhe suspects you blie says you are a man who will make any promise to effect your ob ject." "I have been slandered,' he Inter rupted, sadly. "She mistrusts you, and suspects your intentions toward me." He was on his knees, protestlngly tearfully. "How can I prove I am honost?" "Easily. You are a very practical man;' she Is a practical woman; and this la her proposal: Make over to me ten thousand shares in your new company to hold as a guarantee that you will marry me within two months." She Bpoke with an effort "I will. You shall have them to morrow. In two months they will be worth two pounds apiece," he said jubilantly, and he proceeded to ex patiate on the prospects of the New Jericho Extension. Eut he did not explain that the Bhares he purposed handing over were vendors' shares which he hnd promised his co-direc tors not to place on the market. He left her happier than he had been since her personality had en thralled him, content to obey her in junction not to call until sent for. Two days later bis broker sent for him in hot haste. The limited mar ket for New Jericho shares had fall en to pieces. The shares were turn' bling to waste paper price. The financial columns of the even ing papers devoted a few lines to the matter, explaining that the slump had been caused by the placing on the market of a large parcel by inside holders.

He stood before her, confounded and confused, like a defaulting Bchool boy. "There is something wrong. Tell me plainly. What is it?" he blurted out. "I hope there is not, but I fear there is," she answered, sadly but gently. "Some one has been saying things against me " She nodded, and Inspected her glove buttons. He hesitated. "Do you believe them?" She looked up Interrogatively. "I know nothing ot you, so cannot contradict what I am told. I wish I could," she spoke tenderly. "What do they say?" "That you are treacherous, and would sacrifice any man or woman who stood in your way, and have done so." "Who says that?" "I cannot tell you. Is It true? Have you ever done anything that would 'make me make a woman ashamed to know you?" She raised her sweeping veil from her big hat, and looked searcblngly at him. He quailed before the piercing brown eyes. Then suddenly he dropped on hi. knees and seized her hands. "I have never done anything bad. It I had I would make amends. I'll do anything you wish. Don't .end me away, don't! " She looked at hi. emotion torn face, with half smiling contempt. "This is not acting? You really want to marry me?" 8he stood up to avoid the frenzied embrace he threatened. He grasped her waist. "I do. I dot in gTe you anything do anything ru give you five thousand pound. ten thousand pounds." She stood looking at him for a pace. "Then return here at thuNlme to- TIT I m ,oln t0 et P'ool of what ha. been said against you. If you do not come I .hall understand." He began an Impassioned protest. She .topped bim by gently releasing herself and moving toward the door "Do you believe me?" he asked plteously, rising and following her.

She wa. prepared, on my representation., to take a large Interest In your company, but the In quiries .he made were so terribly bad against you."

When the House closed that after noon Freiderich Flotman knew that he was a ruined man. The Bcript on which he had relied to rulse sufficient to rehabilitate rim was unsalable. He also knew that the hand which had brought about his downfall was that which he had kissed In gratitude when he placed the parcel of scrip in it. He rushed round to the flat, where he was evidently expected, for the housekeeper informed him that Miss Turland had left instructions that she would be ready to receive him after nine that evening. Punctually at the hour he was shown into the little drawing room. Gladys, stately and shimmering in a queenly robe, awaited him, standing on the rug by the fire. "You have sold those shares. You have ruined me," be exclaimed, with out greeting or preface. She smiled a hard, bitter smile, and, Indicating with a sweep of her bare white arm an evening paper lying on the couch, answered with maddening coolness. "So I gather from that.'' He paused in bis advance toward her and staggered. "I don't unierBtand? Why did you sell?" "Toruin you.1 "What!" "To derpive yon of what was not yours, ot what you stole from Charles Burnley." Flotman turned pale and spoke in dry, staccato sentences. "I see some one has been poison ing your mind . telling you a silly lie. . . I never stole anything from Charlie Burnley . , . The claims were never his. I can prove it." , "Dare you say this to hi. face?" she demanded fiercely. "Of course. But what do you know of Burnley? Some one ha. been humbugging you. He wa. alway. a blackguard." The woman looked at him with her head .advanced a contemptuous, loathing look, her hands clinching her dress convulsively. "You .ay that? You who left bim to die of fever in the veld, while you rode into town to register the claim, in your own name." "If. a lie. Besides, what business Is it of yours? What are you to Char lie Burnley?" The tone was sinister. "What am I to Charlie Burnley? Only bi. wife." Flotman stood paralyzed, bl. mouth half open like a victim of stage fright Speech failed him; then a sickly, in credulous .mile made bl. face more sjbastly. "HI. wlft!" he gasped at last. "Yes, my wife, you hound!" Flotman turned hi. head and saw entering the room his old partner the man who had discovered the ref that had become the famous and one prosperous Old Jericho mine, the man whom he had left sick unto death In the veld. The two gazed nt ench other foi several moments: then Burnley spoke: "I should like to thranh you," he said, "but I might hurt you and spoil the best pnrt of your punishment. You are a ruined man to-day. That is es?ugh for me. This scheme has been my work. It has planned out well, eh?" Flotman stood silent, a.

Again, there was caustic comment when the divided skirt came In, but "You would have done the same we accept It now without a murmur, was the sneering, cynical retort. There was a swift blow, an agon ized "Oh!" from the victim, and a shrill shriek from the woman as Flot man crashed to the floor. He lay prone for a minute or so, then gathered himself up. His face was bleeding, but he was not much hurt. "I want my money the money she got for those shares. It is mine," he said coolly. "Say 'please, sir, and you shall have it," Burnley retorted with sav age contempt. Flotman hesitated. "Say it, quick!" "Please, Eir, give me my money.' "I will, when I please.

During the automobile races held In Savannah, Ga., last November a good Btory was told on two young men from New York City who spent the week there. The young men arrived in the Georgia city on Tuesday morning and after getting quartered at the De Soto Hotel smarted for a stroll down Bull street. Knowing that the State of Georgia was "prohibition" and ex pecting to find the lid on tight in Savannah, they ventured to locate a "speak easy," where they could ob tain some of the "ardent" In the event that their supply should run ; out.
