i CHAPTER VIII.
"T "r TEDNESDAY morning ar-
rlvcd In somo miraculously
I Y V abrupt fashion. It found
' ' them sitting In a sunny
corner ot the library. The Cherub
was smoking one of his fat, black
cigars by special request of the count
ess, and be was regarding with ap
proving eyes her slim white fingers na
they employed an Ivory needle In th j
fashioning of some utterly useless af- j
fair that looked like a lot of holes
(edged with spider webs.
She was wearing some kind of a
ihouse gown, with lace falling allur
lingly away from her white neck and
Irounded arms. Somehow or other th
(Cherub felt that he was enjoying a
I rare privilege. lie was Inclined to
accept the gift humbly and In silence,
fearful lest It be taken suddenly away
from htm.
And then cama Epplngs to announc
the presence of Mr. Nicholas Wallo
.way, adding that his errand was ur
gent and Important.
( "Perhaps I had better take my work
j in to another room," suggested the
countess, starting to rise.
"No, nol Don't disturb the cobwebs.
Nick's business Isn't half bo important
as ho thinks It Is. Bring him right In,
Epplngs."
"But I had rather not"
Whatever her protest might have
'been, it was cut short by tbe prompt
entrance of young Mr. Walloway. Ht
stopped abruptly, and it seemed as If
his gray eyes stared hungrily at tbt
jpretty picture she made, standing
there in the morning sunshine. Th
color went from bis cheeks, and his
I lips were tensely drawn.
"Well, Nick, you see I'm still rustl
'eating. Great, isn't it?" smiled the
Cherub.
With an obvious effort young Mr.
Walloway shook off his embarrass
ment. Acknowledging tbe Countess
Vecchl with a stiffly formal bow, he
turned to the Cherub.
"You must forgive me, Devlne, for
hunting you up like this, but I thought
I ought to do It It's a matter of busl
ines j. Couldn't we" And he looked
suggestively at tbe door.
"I haven't any ollice here, Nick, and
,thls room la as good as any other. You
mustn't mind, countess. Any business
I do today will not take long."
"But" began Mr. Walloway.
"Oh. let's havo it, Nick. Bottom
dropped out of something?" The Cher-!
ub was smiling amiably.
"I rather think you would have
thought so If you had been on the
floor Just before closing yesterday.
ITho Bates-Rimmer crowd Is after P.,
IZ. and N. I believe they mean to gob
ble it up."
"Ah, that gang, eh?" This timo the
Cherub showed his white teeth when
he smiled.
"They began it as soon as they found
you were not on deck, and they've
'been at it ever since. Your brokers
had ten clerks out looking for you."
"Got nervous, did they?"
"Nervous! Why, man. didn't you
see whero P., Z. and N. closed yester
day?" "Haven't rend a paper since I've
been here, Nick, and don't intend to.
When you go back tell my brokers to
keep cool."
"But the Bates-Rlmmer crowd
mean mischief, Cherub. There's u lot
of them in a big pool, and they're ham
imerlug your railroad holdings right
and left. Some one has been leaking
Information, and they're hitting you
where It will hurt. AVhen 1 saw how
things were going I began wiring you.
Didn't you get tho messages?"
"I knew those must be from you,
Nick; no one else knew where 1 was."
"But why didn't you answer?"
"Well, I didn't read them, for one
'thing; I was too busy. We were hav
ing a bully time, the countess and I,
feeding the swans."
"Feeding the swans!" Mr. Nicholas
Walloway mado a gesture Indicating
(despair.
"Did you ever watch swans squabble
for sweet crackers, Nick?"
"Crackers! Ycu might Just as well
have thrown bunches of thousand dol
lar bills at them. Why, Cherub, P., Z.
and N. opened at au this morning.
As soon as I found you hadn't shown
up I started for you. I had my car
meet me at tho station, aud it's outside
now. We can Just make the 11:30
back, and perhaps you'll be In timo to
stop them before it's all over. Como
en; let's start"
' "Sorry, Nick, but I couldn't think of
tit. I'm taking a holiday, you sec."
"What! Do you mean to say that
jyou'ro not coming?" Mr. Walloway
(gazed doubtlngly at the Cherub.
"Not today, Nick."
"Oh, I say, Cherub, don't be an"
lie checked himself with a swift glance
at tho countCBs, whoso brown eyes In
stantly sought the cobwebby stuff In
her lap. "Don't bo foolish," ho con.
tinned. "I haven't told you all-the
worst, you know,"
" Well," yon can tell' mo all labouT It
tomorrow, Nick."
"Tomorrowl Great Scott, man, you
don't understand! They mean to fin

ish the Job today. Tomorrow migm
a well be next year. Why, you've
barely a fighting chance left now, and
I don't know that you have that Tbt
street Is wild with It"
"I guess things are not as bad as all
that Nick. I'll be down bright and
early in the morning."
Mr. Walloway put both hands oa
Mr. Dcvine's shoulders.
"Cherub," ho said, speaking with an
effort at calmness, "you're too good
a man to be beaten by a gang like
that You must come back. You
havo friends-Iota of them. We'll get
them together and go after that crowd.
Besides, It's the old Bates-Rlmmer
crowd." urged Wnlloway. "You know
them. They're like a pack of mangy
wolves."
"Yes; you're right, Nick. They've
snnppcd at my heels many a time."
"And now they're nt your throat
Cherub. Come on, won't you?"
For an Instant the' Cherub hesitated.
Then he Jumped to his feet As he
"TBS, TESl OO, AND AKD EHASH THEM."
did so he met the earnest eyes of the
Countess Vecchl. Until then he seem
ed to hare forgotten her presence.
"There!" exclaimed tho Cherub. "I
had almost forgotten. I promised to
drive you Into the villago this after
noon to buy more stuff for making
cobwebs, didn't I, countess?"
Mr. Walloway threw up his hands.
"Devine," he said hoarsely, "I'll wait
outside In my car for just three min
utes and a half. If you are not there
by the end of that time I'll have to
go back without you."
"All right, Nick. Much obliged for
coming."
"But you'll send some word, even If
you don't go, won't you?"
"You might give my regards to old
Rimmer."
Mr. Devlne had followed his friend to
the door. Now he returned, to find
that the countess had been looking ex
pectantly after him. Tho cobwebby
affair had been dropped hastily to the
Uoor and lay tangled at her feet
"You are making this sacriflco to
keep me from leaving the house that
was once my home?" she said. "Then
I must tell you that I shall not ac
cept It. Vou must go at once."
"Oh, thoso fellows aro always ready
for that sort of thing. I suppose they
will do more or less damage, but I
guess I can stand it."
"You must go back with Mr. Wallo
way. Please, go!"
"No; I can't"
"Can't! Why can you not go?"
"Because well, becauso I think more
of showing you that I'm not a born
gambler than 1 do for all tho railroad
stock In the country. That's why."
This came straight from tho heart of
Cherub Devlne. And tho countess
could sec nnd hear. She understood.
"Oh, oh!" There was surprise in the
cry, perhaps Joy. For nn Instant she
bid her faco in her hands. When she
took them away tho spots of color
were gleaming beneath her brown eyes.
Shyly and very demurely sho came to
him with clasped hands and gazed up
at him as if to search for tho truth In
his face.
"I believe you," she whispered. "Oh,
I do believe In you! But I want you
to go. Go this time, to please me."
"Honest? Are you sure you want
mo to go?" Ho gripped his hands
tightly at bis side as ho looked at her.
"Yes, yesi Go, and and smash
them." The lighting spirit of all the
old Continental Hewlngtons must
havo blazed up and burned anew In
her brown eyes. "Don't let them beat
you. Smash them hard!" Sho made
a gesturo with her soft, white hands
to illustrate what sho wished him to
do. Tho Cherub smiled.
"But you will not run away while
I am gone, will you?" ho demanded.
"Perhaps not if you smash them
hard enough. Hurry! Ho Is start
ing!" Sho whirled him about by tbe shoul
ders and pushed him toward the door.
"nold on. Nick, I'm coming!" shout,
ed the Cherub.
The countoas ran down the stent
and tossed a package to him.
"I almost forgot," she said breath
lessly. "I wanted to ask you to sell
thoso for me. They're some stocks
or bond or something, and I want
them sold. That's all."
The inner works of the vohlclo bc
ican to whir violently, tho big car
leaped forward, and a moment later
the Countess Vecchl could see only a
little cloud of dust that showed
through the trees lining tho road to
the village.
It remained for a train boy to"di
close Just how the public viewed the
crisis in Mr. Devlnc's affairs. Half
way to the city the boy came aboard
with the early afternoon editions.
From the headlines It was evident
that the disturbance In Wall street
had become popular topic, the- sensa
tion of the hour.
One enterprising journal Indulged In
half page cartoon, which was sup
posed to represent the situation. It
was entitled "Plucking a Cherub." A
scandalous caricature of Mr. Devlne
It was, showing him most Inadequate
ly clothed, but possessed of a pair of
wings from which a group of bad
boys were gleefully pulling what fow
feathers remained, while the victim
rubbed bis flsts Into tear leaking eyes
and made no attempt at defense.
"Oh, my, my!" and Mr. Devlne rock
ed mirthfully over the cartoon.
"It would be funnier If it wasn't so
d d near the truth!" growled Wal
loway. "Of course I don't know Just
how deep you've plunged on this P.,
Z. nnd N. deal, but I gathered that
you'd gone In rather steep."
"Yes." admitted the Cherub more
soberly, "I havo. In fact, It's tho big
gest thing I ever tackled."
Nick Walloway gazed at him Incred
ulously. "And right in the middle of
It you take a day off to feed the swans
at Uewlngton Acres!"
"I'd take a year off If it was neces
sary." Young Mr. Walloway paled a little.
"Devine," he began hesitatingly, "It's
It's the countess, Isn't it?"
Tbe pink In the Cherub's chubby
cheeks flashed up behind bis cars.
"The countess!" he exclaimed.
"Why. she's way out of my class.
Kick! Oh, she's about a hundred per
cent too good for me aristocratic, ro
flncd. old family and all that Why,
she wouldn't look at me, Nick! You
know she wouldn't"
"I know that you've been looking at
her and and" Something was in
terfering with tho speech of young Mr.
Walloway. However, he mastered the
difficulty. Suddenly reaching out, he
grasped the Cherub's right hand and
gave it a crushing grip. "I 1 wish
prou luck, old man."
Perhaps Mr. Devine was a little sur
prised by this unexpected display of
emotion from tho usually reserved
young man. If bo was be brushed It
aside.
"Luck nothing, Nick! Much obliged
for your good wishes, my boy, but I
haven't the ghost of a show. Now, If
I was a chap like you thcre'd be somo
hope for me. Say. Nick, I wonder you
never took a"
"Beg pardon, Dovlne, but let's stick
to tbe point. I should not presume to
Intrude my advice on personal mat
ters, but If I were you I would drop
P., Z. and N. until you can glvo your
whole time nnd thought to tho busi
ness. Why don't you pull out?"
The Cherub ceased to stare dreamily.
"Nick," he said abruptly, "I'll tell you
something. I've changed my plans.
I'm going to do something besides
speculate in that stock. I'm going to
buy that road, and I've got to get
control before next Friday noon."
"Cherub, you're crazy! It's Impossi
ble! Why, tho Bates-Rlmmer crowd
scooped In two-fifths of tho stock yes
terday, so they say. You know what
that means they'll -wreck It wring it
dry. Tbe small outside holders havo
been tumbling over each other to un
load. See here" and he pointed to a
newspaper on his knee "fifty lots of
fered during tho first half hour today
and the quotations dropping by quar
ter points. Why, you can't stop 'em,
man. They've got you on the run."
"Yes, yes, it looks llko it, I know.
But wait until I've had a chance at
them. Let me think this thing over."
Mr. Nicholas Walloway withdrew
Into his corner of tho smoking com
partment to stare nbseutmlndedly out
of the window. Tho Cherub was soon
apparently engaged In a profound con
templation of tho end of his cigar.
You would not have guessed, to look
at him, that ho was considering any
thing more serious than tho flavor of
tho tobacco. Not until they were on
tho ferry did he break the silence.
Then, briefly and crisply, ho outlined
his plan of action. Nick Walloway
heard him through with a glow of ad
miration in his eyes.
"If you can do that, Cherub, you'll
win," ho declared; "but if the scheme
slips up"
"Then I'm down and out But It's
got to go through," and Mr. Devlno's
mouth lost some of Its cherubic curves.
"You'll do your part, Nick. Oh, It
will bo easier than you think! They'll
never suspect you're In It And don't
try to report until 11 tonight Then
you know whero to come private din
ing room, tenth floor. I'll havo 'em all
there at 11."
When Cherub Dcvlno appeared on
tho floor a half hour beforo closing
timo tho rumors of his defeat were
passing from mouth to mouth. The
Bates-Rlmmer retainers wero Indulg
ing In a war danco of victory.
Silently tho Cherub passed to his ac
customed corner and began tearing
pieces of paper Into small bits with
tho samo calm, unhurried air of ab
straction as usual. Many glances were
tuurnuxul nn Kirn nvvat nt (harrt oi
rlous, a few sympathetic, soma tri
umphantly vindictive. Everywhere he
was regarded as a beaten man. Now
and then a gray uniformed floor boy
handed him messages, which ho read
leisurely and as leisurely reduced to
fragments. Just as tho session closed
Pop Rtmmcr passed near blm and
turned to favor htm with an apellko
leer. Tho Cherub blinked unrcspond
Ingly. He seemed too dazed by mis
fortune even to dlsguiao his chagrin.
A Bomcwhat different Cherub Dc
vlno It was, however, who met hi
half dozen lieutenants that night be
hind tho seclusion of safely locked
doors on the tenth floor of a gaudy
big hotel. Ho hnd become an alert,
masterful, confident person, who thrill
ed those about blm by a revelation ot
ungucsscd resources and unsuspected
reserves of force.
The climax of tbe struggle was
reached during Thursday. Along
about tho noon hour the members of
the Bates-Rlmmer combination were
forced to admit that tho Cherub was
still In tho fight They made tho ad
mission with profane unction. They
did not understand why it was so.
They only know that In some mysteri
ous manner their triumphant career
had been checked.
Thus It went All that aftcrnooa
the contest waged. Now the price of
P, Z. and N. stocks slumped desper
ately, now it skyrocketed amazingly.
Other stocks were affected. The
wholo list quaked and quivered as the
struggling giants of finance wrestled
heedlessly about tho arena.
Placidly smoking a fat black cigar
and tilting comfortably back In on
of Wnlloway & Co.'s mahogany office
chairs, Cherub Devlne received bul
letins from tho front That was the
position in which Nick Walloway
found him when, after the day waa
over, he rushed In, haggard of face
and with an anxious look In his eyes.
"We lack fifty shares." he announc
ed briefly.
"Then that's fifty we must get to
morrow morning," responded the
Cherub.
"It can't be done." declared Wallo
way. dropping hopelessly into a chair.
"The country has been raked with a
fine toothed comb. We can't get hold
of another share. I'm sorry. Cherub,
but I've done my best for you. The
P., Z. nnd N.'s annual meeting Is held
at noon tomorrow, and the Bates-Rlmmer
crowd has practically got us beat
en now. If we only had fifty shares
more we could wipe them off the face
of the earth."
"You're as bad as the countess,"
chuckled the Cherub amicably. Then
as this reflection recalled something
to bis mind he thrust bis hand into an
inner pocket of bis coat and drew out
a long envelope, at which he stared
blankly.
A twinge of guilt pricked bis con
science. There he had completely for
gotten the first errand with which she
hnd Intrusted him. Doubtless It was
to exchange tills stock for cash that
she bad been so anxious to come to
tho city. Perhaps she had been ex
pecting a remittance by every mail.
Shamefacedly he opened tho envelope
to make an Idle examination of the
contents. At tho first glimpse his ex
pression changed, nastily he ran
through the documents, then shoved
them back iuto tho envelope.
A moment later he asked quietly,
"How many shares did you say we
lacked, Nick?"
"Fifty," gloomily responded Mr. Wal
loway, his head between his bands.
"And about how much would they
bo worth to me just now?"
"Worth! Why, anything three hun
dred, five hundred, a thousand dol
lars a share If you could get them
which you can't"
"No?" responded the Cherub. '.'Well,
what do you say to those?" and ho
tossed the long envelope to Wnlloway.
That young man took his head from
between his hands and glanced re
proachfully at tho Cherub. It waa no
time for Joking. But he took the pack
et and began n spiritless investigation.
Suddenly he Jumped to his feet
"Devlne!" ho exclaimed hoarsely.
"These aro P., Z. and N. preferred!"
"Sure." The Cherub was watching
him with calm interest.
"And there aro twenty-five fifty
ono hundred shares!"
"Right again, Nick."
"But where on earth Cherub, are
you n wizard?"
"Just make a note of It that I owe
the Countess Vecchl a hundred thou
sand dollars. Guess I cau afford to
bull tho market a little on her ac
count, eh?"
"Afford to! Why, Devlne, this gives
you control of tho road. You've got
tho Bates-Rlmmer crowd under your
thumb. You'vo won, man; you've
won!"
to be continued.
To Walk Well.
Don't drag your feet or fling them
or lag or stride. Learn to glide into
a room gracefully.
It Is Impossible for a woman to bo
awkward in her walk it she walks
straight and keeps her knees stiff. The
act of swinging the feet out gives one
a graceful gait.
Walk slowly. Skirts wind around
your calves when you walk rapidly,
and all semblance of graco is lost
Walk in a leisurely manner, as if you
wero a princess, not a hurried, wor
rled, overworked woman.
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't swing your arms.
Don't twist yourself in sinuous mo
tions. Don't contort Don't wlgglo.
Hold your chin lu. This is the most
Impprtant thing of all.
Don't walk or look or act like an old
porson. There are no old persons In
these days. Touch tho ground first
with the balls of your feet, with tho
heels striking an Instant lator.

THE APPLE CELLAR.'
How to Makt and to Keep It as Neat
and Sweet a It Should Be.
An apple collar should be the tidiest
and sweetest corner of the bouse.
Nothing else should over be stored In
It. Us walls should bo at least twen
ty Inchos thick and It should have
abundant light. All summer It should
be open to draughts of nlr and kept
free from any decay.
There should be no mouldy boards
nor any smell of mildew; In other
words, the air should be fit to breathe.
When the apples aro stored the
draught should be stopped and when
steady cold sets In you should shut
the collar tight and let It stay tightly
closed until May.
You can place such a cellar as this
conveniently under part of your barn
r under your carriage house, says
Outing, only there should be no stable
adjacent The floor overhead should
be covered with autumn leaves spread
thickly to prevent any change of at
mosphere below. The thermometer
all winter should stand at about 33
Just above freezing. Put your apples
In shallow blna, cement the floor to
keep out rata and If barrels are used
set them up somewhat from the floor.
Presentiment Is Verified.
A remarkable story of a presenti
ment and Its verification comes from
Fnrnham, England. Mr. H. Harland
of Aldershot, whilst out driving In the
adjoining district of Farnborough, was
oelxjd with the feeling that something
serious had happened to one of his
children, who was staying with Its
grandfather at Fnrnham. He Imme
diately telephoned to the grandfather,
and was informed that nothing had
occurred. Mr. Harland, however, vas
unable to get rid of the Impression,
and he telephoned to his wife, wh.
cycled off at once to Fnrnham. On
the way she overtook a party who
were taking her child to the grand
father's house from Moor park, where
It had fallen into a deep stream and
had a narrow escape.
Rather Clever, What?
While the proverbial Englishman
may not be able to distinguish a Joke
In less than two weeks' time he often
says something to arouse the risibili
ties. Among the passengers on one
of the big ocean liners lately coming
from Cherbourg was a Britisher with
an appetite for information on topics
of every conceivable description.
Wherever knowledge was being dis
seminated he was to be found.
One day ha overheard another pas
senger remark that the captain had
said they should see Sandy Hook with
in twenty-four hours.
"Sandy Hook!" exclaimed the Eng
lishman; "and who's he; some promi
nent Scotchman In New York?"
Valued Reform In Turkey.
One of the reforms which have been
placed to 'the credit of the Young
Turkish party In the Ottoman empire
Is the abolition of the "red ticket reg
ulation." Until this took place a red
card was Issued to a Jew on arrival
in Palestine, the possession of which
entitled the holder to a three months'
residence. If the red ticket man wish
ed to remain longer, the credential
had to be renewed, and this naturally
led to abuses In the nature of graft.
The abolition of this restrictive meas
ure was urged upon the authorities by
Israel Zangwlll.
Horse Dies from Grief.
Grieving over the death of his mas
ter, Rob, an old horse owned by tho
lato Capt. Theodore Sammons of the
Henlopen life saving station in
Lewos, Del., refused to eat anything
or even lift his head. The animal lay
down In his stall and was found dead
next morning. Bob had been driven
for years by Capt. Sammons as he
made his trips to the life saving sta
tion or into town. He would allow
none but the captain to feed or take
care of him.
High Record for Balloons.
The record of altitude in aeronau
tics has been attained by Slg. Placen
za and Lieut. MIna, In an nBcenslon
mado from Milan, says the Scientific
American. Their great spherical bal
loon, the AlbatroBs, carried 2,000
pounds of ballast at tho start and
reached an elevation of 38.700 feet,
or more than seven miles. The aero
nauts experienced a temperature of
25.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and landed
near Milan three and one-half hours
after they started.
Unquestionable Probity.
A housewife who had met with un
pleasant experiences through a dis
honest servant took the precaution
beforo filling the vacancy, to writo to
the applicant's last employer for ex
plicit Information as to the girl's hon
esty: "I believe Molllo to be thor
oughly honest," came the prompt ro
ply. "I certainly never knew her to
take anything, not even my orders.
She didn't even tako pains."

Tils Hoofs Play tlio FAi-t and Grow
n Third of an Inch n Month.
Few persons realize that a horse's
hoof Is really the samo thing as the
toe nails of human beings or ot
animals having toes. The horn ot
a hoof grows Just as a toe nail docs.
The hoof grows more rapidly In
unshod horse thnn In those wearing
shoes, and It grows faster In horses
whloh are well groomed and well fed.
But on tho average the horn grows
about a third of an Inch a month.
Hind hoofs trow faster than foro
hoofs. The too of the hoof being
the" longest part. It takes longer for
the horn o grow down there than
at the heel. For Instance, tho toe
will grow entirely down In from
eleven to thirteen months, while
the heel will grow down In from
three to five months.
As the new horn grows out cracks
or defects In tho old gradually work
down to where they can be cut off.
Just as with human finger nails you
can watch the progirss of a bruise
