A few days Jater 1 hitzhugh visits Symington Otis, pronri- n^tcfil\?ncler* and displaying a package which he says contains dynamite, but which Is- merely a bundle of papeh de­mands {10,000. Otis gives him a check. At the’house he meets the girl-who had given him the _dollar, and learns she is Kathleen—Otis. Bh<> recognizes ’ him.Ashamed, he tears up toe check—qnd-escapes, but is arrested.

.^.^APTER III.—Esther is the first to visit Fitzhugh in Jail, anl despite his pro­test makes arrangements for procuring

.advice. HJs trial Is speedily com- Dieted and he is -found insane and com-mitted to an asylum, from which ho eas-

.lly makes his escape -and travels many miles on foot to the city of Chicago.

CHAPTER IV.—Friendless and penni-leas, Fit2hugh takes refuge with _ _who has become Infatuated with him, but with the thought of Kathleen in his.mind he gives her no encouragement. His one idea is to become rich and powerful, and win Kathleen. While hiding in Esther’s house he grows a beard, which efTeetu- zily changes his appearance.

CHAPTER V.—In, a fight with Nikolay, Jealous admirer of Esther, Fitzhugh worsts him, leaving him unconscious, and escapes, though Esther is despondent. 8e-

menial employment he learns thatNikolay has been found dead in Esther’s house, and in a letter to-him she admits the killing, telling: him she did it for hie sake and that she has gone away. He sees Kathleen from a distance, and is strengthened in his determination to win U£T.

CHAPTER VI.—Fitzhugh attracts the attention of one Quigg, dealer in bogus stocks. In Qulgg's place of business Fitz­hugh acts as a decoy for gullible inves­tors. Staked by his employer in a poker game for high stakes, he meets a wheat pit speculator, Henry Hunt, who brieves him to be a New York man of wealth. With his poker winnings he joins Hunt In.-a wheat deal. i.Hunt has formed the opinion that Fitzhugh Is a New York man of wealth, who will be useful to him In a business' way.

CHAPTER VII.—Through Hunt’s opera­tions Fitzhugh nets nearly >30.000. He

hlileaves Qulgg, devoting himself, with Hunt, to hoard of trade operations, .win­ning large sums. He receives a pathetic letter from Esther, who Is in Russia, and sends her- money. Telling Hunt he has gone to New York, Fitzhugh returns to his old companions and indulges In a two weeks* debauch.

CHAPTER VIII.—Recovering from hie spree,’* Fitzhugh finds Hunt knows he

is not wealthy, b«t. Impressed with his ability, the speculator admits him into

'Againand again he charged, but every rush wag met and repulsed. He was over­whelmed W’lth buying orders. They swamped - him from every ..side. He stopped, ’ puzzled. He had not ac­counted his opponent half so power­ful. Otis, however, was not the hesi­tant sort of general." Marshaling • his heavy artillery, he dashed upon the battlefield, .fighting with the implaca­bility that-’from the beginning had characterized h?s long career in finan­cial warfare. This charge, too. was

-easily buffeted. But no white flag was ihown. Beating a retreat,' the grim lid .warrior gathered his forces to-

to corner July wheat It was understood that, no matter what might arise, he was to'be free to follow the dictates of his own judgment. For this and other reasons the names of the PackJngtown millionaires were never disclosed, and few knew the main fount of his ma«a- moth resources.

“Not* for a minute I” broke In All- port. reddening under his collar.

'’TIL make it clearer. Suppose Otis’ crowd knocks July wheat ott fifteen or twenty points. Very, well. Immedi­ately they ^stop selling—-perhaps be­fore—tyi begin buying.

“It does sound.plausible,” hesitated Hunt, desirous sof supporting his lead­er, yet still somewhat doubtful.

“I don’t like iti” sald- Marsh gourly.“Mr. Otis,” continued Daniel,\-and

there was a. hard ring in bis voice' that caused Hunt and Allport to exchange meaning giantes, “thinks he has me on the run. He^s boasting how’he licked me in today’s skirmish; of' how I turned tail at the first fire. But wait till he springs my pitfall. Wait I I’ve got him!’’ ,

’ The discutaion lasted until nearly - nightfall. By grace of his power of persuasion no less than by his domi­nant personality and strength of pur­pose, Fitzhugh finally induced the ath-

“There’s one thing,*’ Fitzhugh" said In parting, “I want to Impress upon you. three. When we have defeated Otis, I want to deal with him In my own way. Remember that”—looking keenly In.to each .face. “I want tQ deal with Symington Otis-In my own way.”, Promptly next morning Otis re­

newed the combat It occupied every minute of that day’s session, and, as on the preceding day, raged with a tit for-tat uproar. When the closing gong sounded he had sold, altogether, over four million bushels of July wheat*: wheat of which he owned not a grain, . but which he' expected to buy Jater— and deliver as promised—-at a lower price than he.' had sold ’ it for.

love.—She gives him no definiteanswer, bub-he believes she returns his affection, and he is confident that in the end he will-’be able to overcome Otis’ op­position to the match or force him to give his consent.

’ The price reeled and dropped diz­zily. Th ^preceding day It had closed strong at one dollar; by. eleven that morning it was unsteady at ninety-six and a half. -

At the height of the furious conflict, Fitzhugh, who '-was the core of it, be­came aware of some one tearing at hi* arm and yelling in his ear:

Fitzhugh had not appeared on the “floor” since the first day. JFrom his private office he sent jjrders to a dozen or more brokers. All these orders were, “Buy July wheat.” All were to take effect this morning. „ He cabled his representatives in Liverpool and Paris. .These cablegrams, also read, “Buy July wheat.” They, too, became effective this morning. In all, he is­sued instructions to purchase twelve million bushels, or approximately double the amount he had sold on the prior two days.—Kte market that^ffiornlng was-like a kite 1n a windstorm. It zigzaggedcrazily. Shortly, however,-jt steadied, hung stationary an Instant, then bounded upward. Up, tugging deter­minedly. it climbed with a rapidity that outstripped its falling the day be­fore. Otis gave ordefs to cease all sell­ing. Like a released spring, the priee leaped higher still. At the close of the day’s session It stood at a dollar and twenty-five cents, with a tendency to mount beyond, . .
