THE sensation which the district attorney sprang in the sudden Indictment of tho president of tbo Iroquois company was pro found and fnrroaclilng. Tho day before the indictment was presented to the grand jury stocks began to tumble without any apparent ecu 00. When tho warrant for tho arrost of the great man had boon served, and ho was admitted to ball to await his coming trial, there was a feeble wily In tho market, but tho rata quickly be gan to desert a sinking ship. The president under indictment had ceased to bo a power. Thoro was a wild scramble of bis associates who wore equally guilty to savo their own skins. The press, which at first denounced Stuart, now boldly demanded tho mer ciless prosecution of all the guilty, and they hailed the brilliant young district attorney as the coming man. For six oousccutlvo days stocks had fallen with scarcely an hour's tem porary rally. Every effort of tho bull operators, who hod ruled tho market for tho two years past, to stem the tide was futile. Below tho surface, In tho silent depths of growing suspicion and fear, an army of sappers and min ers under tho eye of ono man were 'digging at tho foundations .of the busi ness world the faith of man in his fellow .man. Each day there was a crash, and each day tho llttlo financier and his unscrupulous uMos marked a now vic tim. In tho mldet of the campaign for tbo destruction of public credit which Blvens and his associates, the Allied Bankers, wore conducting with such profound secrecy and such re markable results, when their profits had piled up into millions, a bomb was suddenly exploded under their own headquarters. Tho Van Dam Trust company was put under tho ban of tho Now York clearing house. Tho act was a breach of faith, utterly unwarranted by any known law of tho game. But it was done. When tho president of tho company walked quietly into Blvena ofllco and made tho announcement for a moment tho llttlo dark man complotcly lost his nerve. Oold bonds of sweat started from his swarthy forehead. "Thoro must bo somo mistake" "There's i mistake. It's a blow bo low tho bolt, but lfa a knockout for tho moment They know wo aro sol vent, two dollars for ono. But they know wo havo $00,000,000 ou deposit, and wo havo somo big enemies. Thoy know that tho group wo havo support ed havo smashed this market, and they've sot out to fight tbo devil with fire. They're determined to force a showdown and boo how much real money is behind us. Wo can pull through if wo stand together." Blvena sprang to his feet, exclaiming fiercely: "Until boll focao6 over!" Tbo banker smiled feebly for tho first tlmo in a week. "Then Ufa all right, Mr. Btvcne. We'll pull through. They'll start a run on us tomorrow. Flvo millions In cash will moot it, and wo'll win hands down. Wo havo powerful friends. Our only sin is our association with your group. Wo must havo that flvo mil lions In the aafje fcpforo tho doors by Thomas Dixon arts opened tomorrow.' "You shall have it," was tho firm an swer. With a cheerful pressure of tho hand the president of tho Van Dam Trust company left, and Bivcns called his secretary. "We turn the market tomorrow or ders to all our men. Knock the bottom out of it until tho noon hour, then turn and send it skyward with a bound." When Dr. Woodman returned home that night from ono of his endless tramps among tho poor Harriet opened the door. Something about tho expression of his face startled her. For the first time In her lifo she saw In its gaunt lines the shadow of despair. "What Is it, papa, dear?" she asked tenderly, slipping an arm about his neck as sho drew him down into his favorite chair. "What, child?" ho responded vaguely. "You look utterly worn out. Tell me what's the matter. I'm no longer a child. I'm a woman now strong and well and brave. Lot mo help you." "You do help me, baby!" ho laughed, with an effort at his old time Joyous spirit. "Every tlmo I touch your llttlo hand you give mo new life. Somo day your voice will thrill thousands as it now thrills my heart. You'll win fame and wealth for your father. You shall care for him In old ago. I'm not mis erable. I've really had a good day. I've spent tho whole afternoon super intending tho distributing of flowers among tho hospitals. I saved a kid's life with a flower. His father used to work for me in tho old days. They asked mo to come to seo him. There was no hope. Ho had been given up to die. I gavo him a fragrant white pink. His thin, feverish fingers grasp ed it eagerly. In all his lifo ho had never held a flowor in his hand before. He pressed it to his lips, his soul thrill ed at its swoot odor, and tho little tired spirit came staggering back from the mists of eternity just to seo what it meant. Ho will live." Tho girl's arms slipped around his neck in a tightening hokl, and sho pressed her cheek against his a mo ment In silence. "Papa, dear, ifs no use trying to deceive mo. I'vo tlie right to know what is troubling you. I'm not a child. You must tell me." "Why, it's nothing much, dearie," he answered gently. 'Tm worried a llttlo about money. I'vo a noto due at the bank, and they've called on mo unexpectedly to meet It But I'll manage somehow." "I'll give up my music, go to work and help you right away." Tho father placed his hand gently over her Hps, and tho tears sprang into his eyes in splto of his effort to keep them back. "Don't talk sacrilege, my child. Such words aro blasphemy. God gavo mo a man's body for tho coarso work of bread winning. Ho gavo you tho su premo gift a voice that throbs with eloquence, a power that can lift and inspire tho world. "Promise me, dear if s tho ono wish of my heart, tho ono thing worth working nnd struggling for promise mo that you will never stop until tho training of your voloo is complete; that no matter what happens you will obey mo in this. It is my ono com mand. You will obey mo?" "Yes, papa, I promise, If it will make you happy." "Ifs tho only thing I live for. All I ask is that you do your lovel beat with tho gift of God." "I'll try, papa dear," was tho quiet answer na sho kissed him again and roftly loft tho room. Harriet bad soaroely reached bee room when Adams, tho cashier of ono of the allied banks, who owed tho doctor for three months' rent; entered Iho library with quick, nervous tread. "I'vo news, sir,' ho said excitedly. "I'vo a big tip ou tho stock market" The older man grunted contemptu ously. "Yes, that's wfoat alia you, I know. You've boon getting thorn for eomo lime. That's why you owo mo for your rooms. That's why theroB some thing tho matter with your accounts," '1 swear to you, doctor, my accounts are clean. I'vo bought a fow stocks. I've mado a llttlo and lost a little. I'vo got tho cuanoo now Tvo been waiting for. I'vo a real pieoo of In formation from tho big insiders who aro going to mako tho market tomor row. 1 got it fxpm Blvens1 Driyato secretary. The" Utile wcaselUKs maao millions on this break, and he has been selling tho markot short for two weeks. Tomorrow morning ho Is go ing to smash It for tho last tlmo and at noon throw his millions on tho bull side. Tho market will go down three points on tho break in tho morning. It will jump five points In ten min utes when it turns tho other way. There aro stocks on tho list that will recover ten points before tho market closes." "Blvons is going to do this?" the older man interrupted. "Then ifs a trick. Ifs a He. Take my ndvlco and do just tho opposite from what you understand. Blvens will soli out his partners in the deal." "Man, ho can't sell out!" tho cashier Insisted. "Ifs his own deal. He's In It for all he's worth!" The. doctor rose with sudden excite ment. "Adams, this is tho first tlmo in my lifo I'vo over been tempted to buy stocks. I'm In desperate need of money. I'vo n note for $3,000 due. I've $2,000 set aside to finish my little girl's musical studies. I've got to meet that noto somehow, nnd I've got to havo the money for her. It looks like n chance. I'll go in and watch tho market tomorrow." "If It don't act exactly ns I say don't toncli it. If It does, go in for all you're worth. If stocks start down ns I say they will, sell short cover at noon and they buy for 'a rise. Don't listen to fools Just buy, buy, buy! You can sell before tho market closes and make $20,000." "I'll drop into a broker's office and watch tho market open, anyway, Adams. Thank you." The next day tho more optimistic traders on the stock exchange expected 11 change in the market. Stocks had de clined for two weeks with appalling Bwlftness and fatality. Ever' hour had marked the ruin of men hitherto bul warks of solidity. Experienced men reasoned and reasoned from experience that there must bo a turn somewhere. The bottom surely had been reached. Tho time for a rally had come. Stuart slept Jate. Ho was up until 1 o'clock writing a reply to a peculiarly venomous attack ou his Integrity which a morning paper had printed. The writer had boldly accused kim of be ing tho hired tool of tho group of finan cial cutthroats who were coining mil lions out of the ruin of others In tho de struction of public faith. nis reply was simple, and his con cluding paragraph was unanswerable except by an epithet. "My business is tho enforcement of justice. I am the servant of the people. If Wall street cannot stand the en forcement of law so much the worse for tho street. It is no affair of mine." Dr. Woodman hurried downtown to tho ofllco of a friend on Pine street, an old fashioned banker and broker whose "If you've got a dollar, nail It up." name had always stood for honesty and fair dealing and conservative business. It was half an hour beforo tho stock exchange opened, but tho dingy little ofllco was packed with an excited crowd of customers. Tho doctor followed old Dugro, tho head of tho firm, into his private office and asked his advioo. Ho got it sharp, short and to tho point "Go home, doctor, nnd stay there. This market is no placo for an ama teur. Ifs all I can do to keep tho wolf from my door in tbeso days." "But I'vo rocelvcd somo important Information." "Keep it dark," old Dugro scowled. "Don't tell it to your worst enemy. If you've got a dollar, noli it up and sleep n tho box." "But I've some information I think I'm going to act on and I want to open a small account with you." "All right I'vo warned you," was tbo grim answer. "I wish you. good luck." Tho doctor drew his chock for $2,000 nnd smilingly took his place among tho crowd beforo tho board. Tho tlckor would teU tho etory in the first hour. If stocks should sell off three points beforo noon, ho would know. He determined to put this to the test first Ho would not sell the markot short Ho would bo content with tho big Jump tho market would mako upward when it started. As tho noon hour drew near tho doc tor's heart was beating llko a sledgo hammer. Blvens' program had been carried out to tho letter. Stocks had de clined for the first hour a point and In tbo second hour suddenly smashed down'twviore' points amid tho wildest excitement ou the oxchangc. Tho moment to buy had come. Tho doctor was sure of It Stocks had touched bottom. Tho big bear pool would turn bull in n moment and the whole market would riso by leaps and bounds. Ho called old Dugro. "Buy for me now Amalgamated Cop per, the market leader, for all I'm worth!" Tho broker glared at him. "Buy! Buy in this market? Man, are you mad?" "I said buy!" was tho firm answer. "What's tho limit?" "Not a share without a stop loss or der under It" "Well, with tho stop?" "I'll buy you -100 shares on a four point stop." "And when it goes up flvo points?" tho .doctor asked eagerly. "I'll double your purchase and raise your stop, and every flvo points up I'll keep on until you aro a millionaire!" Tho old broker smiled contemptu ously, but it was all lost on the doctor. "Do it quick." Tho order was scarcely given beforo It was executed. Dugro handed the memorandum to Woodman with a grunt "It don't take long to get 'em today!" Tho words had scarcely left bis lips when n hoarse cry rose from the crowd hanging over tho ticker. Copper had leaped upward a whole point between sales. A wild cheer swept the room. For ten minutes every stock on tho list responded and began to climb. Tho doctor's face was wreathed In smiles. Men began to talk and laugh and feel human for tho first moment in two weeks. Dugro grasped tho doctor's hand, and his deep volco rang abovo tho roar: "You're a mascot! You've broken tho spell! For God's sake stay with us!" Suddenly another cry camo from the crowd at tho ticker. Tho boy at the board sprang to tho instrument with a single bound, his eyes blazing with excitement. His cry of "Down!" pierc ed every car In tho room with horror. The panic had come. In ten minutes stocks tumbled flvo points, and the doctor's last dollar was swept Into space, while tho whole mar ket plunged down, down, down Into the abyss of ruin and despair. Men no longer tried to conceal their emotion. Somo wept, somo cursed, some laughed: but the most pitiful sight of all was the man who could do neither, the man with white Hps and tlie strange, hunted expression in his eyes who was looking death in tho face for the first time. A full quarter of an hour of the panic had spent itself beforo tho dazed crowds In tho broker's offices read tho startling news that caused tho big break. The ticker shrieked its message abovo the storm's din like a little laughing demon. "Tho Van Dam Trust Company nas Closed Its Doors and Asked For tho Appointment of a Receiver!" Blvens had not kept his solemn pledge. Tho great bank had stood tho run for two hours and closed its doors. And tho work of destruction had just begun. At 3 o'clock tho doctor walked out of Dugro's offlco without a dollar. He felt almcet happy by contrast with tho fools ho left shuffling over tho floors of Dugro's offlce. His own sense of lose was merely a blur. The revelation ho had just had of the mad lust for money which had begun to possess all classes was yet so fresh and startling ho could form no adequato conception of his own posi tion. It was not until he entered his own door nnd paused at tho sound of Har riet's voice that ho began to realize the enormity of tho tragedy that had befallen him. (Continued in Tuesday's Issue.)
