A sensation was sprung last Frl dav at the annual session of the North Carolina Conference of the Southern Methodist Church at Ells areth City when a letter was read from Rev. L. N. Booth, of the Chowan circuit, acknowledging that he had misappropriated missionary and conference funds amounting to about $200, that he had fled to New Jersey and could not return the money. Charges were preferred a, nst him and a trial was ordered .....ve The I SILVER. HORDE I By REX BEACH. Author of "Th. Spoiler The Barrier" ad 0' Ceeyriahl. 199. by Harpw Ox Brotbm ... 9. . CHAPTER IX. nERRY the next day demon strated her power over all sorts and conditions of men by reducing the blase young clubman to a state of grinning admi ration. "Flngerless" Fraser alone had been missing from the coterie. He had discovered them from a distance, to be sure, and came over to exchange greetings with Cherry, but the disas trous result of the fellow's garrulity was still so fresh In Boyd's mind that he could not Invite him to Join them, and Fraser. with singular modesty, had quickly withdrawn, to wander lonesomely for awhile till sheer ennui drove him to bed. His dejection awakened little sympathy in Boyd, who felt happier for the removal of his irritating presence. In the morning Boyd was brought sharply back to a realization oT his difficult position by a letted from Mil dred Way land. "Father and I bad another scene over you." wrote Mildred. "It was the first quarrel we ever had. and I'm half sick as a result I simply can't bear that sort of thing, and we have agreed to drop tbe subject. What roused blm to such a sudden fury I'm sure I don't know." Boyd knew, however, and the know! edge did not add to his comfort. It seemed. Indeed, as if tbe trust's enmity had marked blm in the eyes of the whole financial world. He was again denied assistance at the banks, and this time in a manner to show him the futility of further effort. In his perplexity be turned naturally to Cherry, who listened to his tale of repeated failure with furrowed brows. pondering the matter as seriously as if the responsibility bad been her own. "The battle has begun sooner than I expected," she said at length. "I nev er dreamed they could fix the banks so quickly." "Somehow I can't believe this is the work of the trust people. I don't see how they could acompllsb so much in so short a time. Why, it came like a thunderclap." "I hope I am wrong." she answered. but something unexpected must have Notice to Tax-Payers I will be at the following places on the Stif dates named (or the purpose of collecting your taxes.

"lias he dropped any hint before your' "Not a hint He wouldn't let go of anything. Why, be is too close fisted to drop his T's.' " "Will you take dinner with me this evening so that we can talk over any further developments?"' "I am to dine with Mr. Hllliard," said the girl. "Oh!" Boyd's tone of disappointment seemed disproportionate to the Occa sion. He endeavored to disguise his feeling by saying lightly: "You are breaking into exclusive circles. He lives in quite a palace, I am told." "I I'm not dining at his home." Cherry hesitated, and Boyd flashed a sharp glance at her. A faint color flushed her cheeks as abe explained, "He could not see me at the office to day, so he arranged for me to take din ner with him." "I see." Boyd detected a note hither to strange in his own voice. "I am go ing to try the Tacoma banks tomorrow. Would yon like to ran over with me In the morning? Tbe sound trip Is beau tiful" "I wouid love to." she exclaimed. "I may have something: to report if I can make Mr. Hllliard talk.w' "Out of curiosity, I should like to know what Influenced him. Ill call for yon in time for tbe 9 o'clock boat," he added as he arose to go. "Mean while if yon get a hint from Hllliard It may be useful." Cherry had finished , her breakfast next morning when he called and was awaiting him, clad In a brown velvet ault which aet off her trim figure with all the effectiveness of skillful tailor Inc. She was as perfect to the eye as the morning itself. "Well, did Ullllard expose the hid den mysteries of the banking system?" he questioned as they walked down toward the water front "He did. It is no mystery at an now." "Then It was that newspaper story that frightened blm." "Indirectly perhaps. He didn't men tion it" v"Wbat did he say?" "Nothing." "Nothing! Then how" "He informed me that yon are en gaged to marry Miss Wayland." Yes. But what did be say about the loan?" "Only what I have told you. The rest is easy Ilad you been less se cretive I would have known instantly whom to blame for this trouble. Wayne Wayland and Willis Marsh nre working double, and inasmuch as you are persona non grata "Who told you I am persona non grata r You told me yourself without in tending to. Please give me credit for some shrewdness. If you had been a welcome suitor yon would have bad no difficulty in raising twice $200,000 in Chicago Then, too. I remember the story you told me at Kalvlk, your mental attitude many things. In fact Oh, it was very simple." Well, what of It? What has all that got to do with my present difficulty?" "Listen! You want to marry the daughter of the greatest trust builder in the country, and he doesn't want you for a son-in-law. You undertake an enterprise which seriously threatens his financial Interests, and If successful in that you could defy his opposition in the other matter. Now, all goes well until he learns of your plans, then he strikes with his own weapons. A word here and there, a bint to tbe banks, and your fine castle comes tum bling down about your ears. I thought you had more perception." We haven't figured Marsh in at all," be 8a Id tentatively. He figures nevertheless, as I in tend to show you today. To begin with, please notice that unobstrusive man In the gray suit Not now! Don't look around for a minute. You will see blm on the opposite side of the street" Doyd turned, to observe a rat faced fellow across the way, evidently bound for tbe Tacoma boat "Is he following us 7" "I see him everywhere I go." Boyd's face clouded angrily, at which Cherry exclaimed. "Now, for heaven's sake, don't mimic Big George or we'll never learn anything." I won't stand for a spy," he growl ed. Finally the girl said. "You really do care a great deal for Miss Wayland. don't you?" His only answer was a deep breath and a slow turning of the head, but once she bad seen the look in his eyes she needed no other. She could only say: "I hope she Is worthy of all she is causing yon to suffer. Boyd. So few of us are." She did not speak again, but in her heart was a great heaviness. They reached the dock and lost sight of tbe spy, only to have him reappear soon after the boat cleared, and. while neither spoke of it they felt his pres ence during the whole trip. At Tacoma Boyd left her to go about his business, but Joined her later at lunch, with the Joyful announcement: "I've had better luck this time. They aald there would be no difficulty what ever in handling the matter, and they are to let me know definitely tomor "Did Ha,wkshaw hound you to the bank?" she inquired. "I rather think so." "Then tomorrow will tell the tale." "You mean the bank will turn me down?" "Yes, if I've sized up the situation correctly. I dare say these banks are as cautious as those in Seattle, and a few words over tbe telephone would do the trick." Tb Inclined to give that shadow a little personal attention," the young; man mused, but when she questioned him be only smiled and assured her of his caution. Again on the return trip they discov ered the fellow among tbe passengers. Cherry noticed as they reached the dock that while Emerson maintained a flow of conversation his eyes were constantly upon the fellow's back and that he kept a position close to bis shoulder, regardless of Jostling from the others. She could not tell what this foreboded, nor did she gain a hint of Boyd's purpose until the gangplank was in place and they were out upon It A narrow space separated the boat from the dock. As they crossed this Boyd slipped and half fell on the slanting planks. He lunged violently against tbe man in gray, who was next him. It occurred with tbe suddenness of pure accident and the next she saw was the stranger plunging down ward along the piling, clutching wildly at the vessel's side, while Boyd clung to the guard rope as if about to lose his balance. The man's cry as he struck tbe wa ter alarmed the crowd and caused a momentary stampede, in which Cherry and Boyd were thrust shoreward, but the confusion quickly subsided aa an officer flung a heaving line to the gasp ing creature beneath. A moment later the hat less spy was dragged to the dock. Indignant and sputtering. . I'm very sorry, sir." Boyd apologis ed profusely. "It was all my fault off my feet ' Whenever I'm followed too closely I 'lose my head. It'a a weakness I have." ' The man was still too 'unmanned by hla cold Immersion to do more than chatter angrily. In the hubbub Emer aon led hla companion out Into, the street where she beheld him shaking with suppressed laughter. "Boyd," ahe cried In a shocked voice, "then It was. You you might have killed him! Suppose hla bead had struck a tlmberl" "Yea, that would have been too bad," he declared. Then, at the sight rr. Llff i , j. IB fll ST The plank was steep, and I was forced "I II VERT HORRY, SIB." of her face, his chuckle changed to a wolfish snarl. "He'll know enough to keep away from me hereafter." "Dont! Don t! I never saw you look so. Why. it might have been mur der!" "Well V He stared at her curiously. "I-I didn't think It of you." She shuddered weakly, but be only shrug ced bis shoulders and said, with a finality that cut off further discussion "He's a spy. I won't be spied upon.' When Boyd entered his room at the hotel, whither he had gone after leav ing Cherry at Hilliard's bank, Big George greeted him excitedly. "Here's the dickens to pay. We can't get that barkentlne." "The Margaret? Why not? The charter was all arranged." "Tbe agent telephoned that we could not have her." "What reasons did he offer?" "None. We can't have her, that's all." "She's tbe only available ship on the sound. Our stuff will be here in a fort night" "Some of it wilL" "What do you" "Boilers held up." "Boilers?" "Yes. Read that" Bait tossed him a telegram. "'Shipment delayed.'" read Boyd "Well, this is growing interesting. Thank heaven, other people handle ma chinery." He reached for a blank and hurriedly wrote, a message cancel ing his order. "1 guess Cherry was right Marsh is fighting to delay us." He began a recital of the morning's oc currence, but before he had finished he was called to tbe telephone. "More bad news," he exclaimed as he re-entered the room. "The Jackson Nebur company say they can't make delivery of their order. I wonder what next" "We don't need anything more to crip ple us." George declared blankly. "Any one of these blows is a knockout" It was perhaps an hour later that Cherry entered unannounced. "I Just ran in for a minute to tell you something new. When I came up from the bank tbe elevator boy at the hotel made a mistake and car ried me past my floor. Without notlc Ins the difference. I went down tbe hall, and whom shonld I run right in to, coming out of a room, but our de tective! As he opened the door I heard him say, 'Very well, sir, I'll report to morrow.' " "To whom was he reporting?" "I don't know. A few minutes later I called you up to tell you about it, but while I was waiting for my number the operator evidently got the wires crossed or left a switch open, for I heard this much of a conversation: " Our contract covers 50,000 cases at $5. We thought that was at least 20 cents under the market' "I was about to ring off when I re membered that you had sold your out put of 50.000 cases to Bloc & Co. for $5 a case, so I listened on a chance and heard another voice reply" "Whose voice?" "I don't know. It said, 'Well under sell that by $V " 'Good Lord!' said the first speaker. That means a loss of And then I was cut off. I thought I'd better come over In person instead of trusting to the wire." "And you didn't recognize either speaker?" "No. But I discovered at the office that rooms 610 and 6i2 the suit I saw that detective coming out of are occu pied by a Mr. Jones of New York, who arrived three days ago. IH bet any thing you please that yonll hear from Bloc & Co. within twenty-four hours and that tbe occupant of those rooms at the Hotel Buller Is Willis Marsh.'' Big George began to mutter profane ly. "It looks like they had us, and all because Eraser's tongue Is hung In the middle." "All the same, well fight It out" aald Emerson grimly. "If I can raise that money in Tacoma" Again the tele phone bell buzzed noisily. "Bloc A Co.." predicted Cherry, but for once she was wrong. A call from Tacoma." aald Boyd, the receiver to his ear: "It must be the. Second National. They were hot to let me know till tomorrow." . Through the open door of tbe adjoining room bis words cam distinctly, while .the then listened In tense alienee. "Hello! Yea! This la Boyd Emer son." Then followed a pause, during which the thin, rasping voice of the distant speaker murmured unlntelU- flbly. "Why not? Can't you give tne a rea aon? I thought yon said Very well. Goodby." ' i ; Emerson hung op tbe receiver care fully and with the same deliberation turned to face bis companions. He nodded and spread his handa outward . In an unmistakable gesture. "What, already r queried the glrL "They must have been reached by phone." "That detective may bare called Marsh up from there." "That means It wont do any good to try further In Tacoma. The other- banks bave undoubtedly been fixed, or -they soon will be. If I can slip away undiscovered I'll try Vancouver next, but I haven't much hone." "It looks bad. doesn't It?" said Cher ry. "As we stand at present," Boyd ac knowledged, "we are tbe owners of' a hundred thousand dollars' worth of useless machinery and unsalable supplies." "And all," mused the girl, "because of a loose tongue and a little type." (To he Continued.) Kept the King at Home.
