is closed?" .
"Of course," gasped Hillyer. "That a
the very thing. I'll run up to the tele
graph office."
George followed him to the door and
detained him in the sunshine on the
sidewalk. ?Is there anything wrong,
Mr. Hillyer?" s he questioned in much
concern. .,. ; T-
For a HMnjent:uieTdman gave- him
an almost frantic stare. '
I know you think I'm crazy '' he
said, "but I can't be calm when so
much is at stake. It seems to me.
George, that ef this thing falls through
without gain I'm lost forever. No;
don't stop me. I'll tell you every
thing after awhile. Pnt them fellers
off the track; tell 'em anything. It
ain't none o' the'r business nohow."
I actually believe the old man's off
his nut a little,- George," said-Kenner.
'Don't you think so, Lib?"
"How do I know?" said Hanks, rous
ing himself from the contemplation of
some matter of his own. . '
That's a fact," retorted the cotton
buyer. "Couldn't expect one cracked
man to Judge the case of another."
George .went to his desk, obviously to
write abetter,, but he did not go to
work. He was, indeed, much con
cerned over the conduct of his em
ployer. xAnd then a thrill of horror ran
through him. Perhans Hillver had
been speculating recklessly and was on
George signed for the telegram.
the verge of ruin. And to such an ex
tent did this fear lay bold of his mind
that he found himself all at once tak
ing the most gloomy view of the affair.
Perhaps the old man had allowed his
broad sympathies to draw him Into
heavy indorsements for other people
until his entire business depended on
the outcome of the venture in wheat.
Perhaps George's heart sank lower
perhaps all the wheat in question was
under heavy mortgage at that very
moment, and it was for that reason
Hillyer doubted a prompt payment.
Presently Hillyer came back, his face
haggard, his manner still highly nerv
ous. "I sent the order to our bankers," he
said, and then he sat down at his desk.
George, closely watching him, saw him
draw a sheet of paper to him and dip
a pen in the ink well, but he did not
write. Kenner went out to .the com
press on hearing the gang of negroes
loudly laughing at some mishap, and
Hanks slouched after him. Hillyer
looked about the room and observed
that he and George were alone, but he
said nothing. Half an hour passed,
then a telegram came. The old man
-took it with quivering fingers and
opened it It fell fluttering to his feet
The gray head went down." George
signed for the telegram and sent the
boy away.
"What is it V he asked his employer,
a colcTf ear over him.
Hillyer looked up. . "Jacobs &.. Co.
want thirty days,'.' he groaned. "George,
I felt it comint. It's God's sign to me.
I'm a damned souk Lynn Hambright

his old mother up the street yesterday.
She looked me' right in the face and
'did not speak. I knowed" then that
something was going to happen."
George could say nothing at all. He
laid his hand on the old man's shoul
der, but finally removed it and went
back to his desk. Surely Hillyer,. was
losing his mind. After all, what man
could keep his -mental ; balance under
the pressure: that had; been on him all
those -years jfeKlp.
"Georgei -m In M'awful fix The
merchant rose hli" f eet and stood
near his clerk. - -
"What's wrong, Mr. Hillyer? Can I
help yon?"
"Nothing can help me-If we lose on
this deal," said the old man. v
"Bat how. can you; lose on it at the
price you paid aud the present mar?
ket?" Buckley .. questioned,"" , now de
termined to- try to get at the cause of
the oltOnan's trouble. The merchant
hung his head for a moment, and then
he' said, "Come back ,tovyore room,
George; I don't want them fellers to
come In while I'm talking. , I see I've
got to tell you everything." ' "
Wonderingly " Buckley followed - him
back to the cheerless . room. ' Hillyer

lightnia' one morning when wheat waa
so low an' you said so positive that you
believed it ud go higher. George, I
tuk. all the money m borrowed (rem
you an' Invested it in yore name, mind

put in lots o' my own later when wheat
begun to climb. The proposition was
this: I was to go entirely by what
you said In every respect, an' ef tt
turned out well I was to take lflhat
I was on the right tracki : God knows
I've been .mighty nigh crazy through Jt

several times, but I . stuck . to my plan
an': was guided by yore judgment." T
"Ytont? yY m.ymJ m,T
ey in it?" asked George In astonish
ment
"Yes, that was the idea, so you could
git the benefit if it riz. . If it hadn't, of
course I'd still owe you the money an'
make it good."
"But I simply can't understand what
is the matter now,"" said Buckley.
"Heaven knows you've made a pile o'
money out of the transaction."
"If we could sell now yes; but, oh,
George, I know that the market is on
a collapse; I feel It I know that Ja
cobs' offer to take it on thirty days is
jest a trap the Almighty's set fer me
fer darin' to ask fer the sign. Jacobs
is in a pinch an' wants our wheat on a
credit to tide 'im over,' an' we'll never
git out whole. I feel It! Oh, I feel it
in my soul'. God wants to git even
with me!"
. Buckley laid his" hand on the old
man's shoulder and looked at him al
most tenderly. "You are simply let
ting your Imagination run away with
you," he said. "You have brooded over
this till you have lost the power of
calm reason. Mr. Hillyer, I'm as sure
of the ability of Jacobs & Co. to pay
as I am that I stand here."
"Oh, George, are you are you?"
"Yes, and if they can't pay cash the
world is full of people who will. Why,
Mr. Hillyer, you have no idea bow ab
surd your fears seem to any one else.
Why, we'll simply wire the bankers to
get us a cash buyer, and it will be
done."
The okt" man fell to trembling. "I
don't believe we'll git out whole," he
groaned. "But you kin try. Wire 'em,
George, but leave me alone back here.
For God's sake, wire 'em!"
Just as George reached the front a
messenger boy came with a telegram
for Hillyer. George opened it nervous
in spite of himself. The color flashed
into his cheek, a light into hht eye, as
he read-the message. He took it back
to his room. Through the partly open
door he saw the merchant on his knees
at the bed and heard him praying.
"God have mercy on me!" he waa
groaning. -"God, do, do have mercy
on me!"
George hesitated an instant and then
he went in and touched the old man
on the shoulder. "Good news, Mr. Hill
yer," he said, his young voice full of
emotion. "The bank has just tele
graphed"
"What's that?"
Hillyer rose awkwardly, his hands on
the railing of the bedstead. He waa as
weak as a sick child.
"What did you. say, my boy?" he
asked, his face vacant
George read the telegram to him:
Market somewhat firmer. Jafcoba A Co.
paid cash. Have placed amount to your
credit. Wire instructions.
Hillyer's eyes were wide open. He
took the telegram and went with It to
the window and read it "Thank God,
thank God!" he cried. "Ifs the sign,
George" he pointed upward "the sign I
I'm on the right road to pardon think
o' that, my boy my eternal pardon.
God wanted to help you. You got in
at the lowest notch o' the market an'

I'd 'a' thought it a fortune. It's a good
nest egg, . an' on the 1st & next Jan

business. Oh, George, I feel like I
could fly. I'm bus tin' open inside. I

was calmer; his step was light
and his eye shone with subtle
triumph.

from beyond the Tennessee line. I got

loaded the wagons with groceries fer
enough profit to pay fer his advertlaiu

airee, excuse me, please ! The feller
said he'd always tell 'em it wasn't that

conscience an' believed in future tor
ment 'La, me,' the feller said, 'yore
town will have to spend a lot fer print
ers' ink 'fore it gits over the black eye
that f nst Hanks give if "
"Bob's talkin' some about addin' on
dry gooda," Hanks went on to George
in his even tone, without the slightest
change of face. "I reckon It wont be
a bad idea. He misses a lots o trade
by not beln' able to fit folks up all
round. Bnt he's got to go slow; he'a
too headstrong. He don't know it all
yit by a Jugful.
"He ort to set around here an hear
you talk, Lib," Kenner laughed. "I've
1'arnt a sight by listenin' to yore
harangues. But you cayn't 1'arn that
boy a thing about ma kin' money an'
turnin'- it quick. He could give you
pointers in his sleep. Tricky? GeewhOir

Then Kenner walked ont to the corn
press and Hillyer went uptown to mail
some letters. Hanka took a brown
paper parcel from hla desk and opened
it It was five or six bard tack crack
ers and some slices of cheese; he waa
always eating such things between
meals.
"I see the governor's in town," he re
marked, little puffs of powdered crack
er issuing from his Hps and falling like
flakes of snow on his beard.
George started; an unpleasant thrill
passed over him and his heart aank. "I
didn't know it" he said, giving Hanks
a steady stare.
"Yes, I was at the train when the
Cranstons driv up to take 'im "home
with 'em. Yon cayn't 1'arn folka any
