A newspaper was clutched tn his right

with her hands folded over h< r lap.
It needed only a glance at tin- gentle,

John, holding his breath, seized the

was too late. Tin* poor old fellow
could not withstand the shock of find-

Apparently the interview was ut an
end. John made off. If lie stayed
there he felt he would have had difh-
culty in keeping his fingers off that
callous woman's liront.
He sought a telephone, thinking
that the hapless girl's father would
come to her rescue. His mime soon
cleared the way to the financier'll desk.
He began a stammering explanation,
but Howell answered sharply:
“I've no time to talk about my
daughter now, Mr. Burton. I'm ruklng
in a million dollars a minute!"
Almost in despair, John was making
once more for Marjorie's room. He
met Ralph and the two men entered
together, but Burton did not know
that the husband was about to see bis
wife for the first time with the band-
ages off her face.
The poor girl was certainly n piti-
able sight. After one horrified glance
Morgan rushed out. John went aft* r
him, thinking to speak some soothing
words, but the other pointed through
the open door with a gesture of de-
spair ami muttered huskily:

“Would y7iu mind taking that to

said. “Meanwhile you will oblige me I
by asking Mrs. Howell to come and i
have a few minutes’ conversation.”
Surprised and fluttered, the girl
agreed.

Howell was blandly unaware of the
scathing contempt in Burton’s voice
when the latter inquired:
“What price was your stock yester-
day. Mr. Howell?”
"Away up among the gilt-edged
propositions—108! This is one of the
most successful coups ever engineered.
I must go back downtown. I'll be
there till midnight. My wife phoned
that you were here, so I ran up to tell
you to come In on the ground floor.”
Burton seized the opportunity to
leave the house with the financier. He
declined an offer, however, to share
the latter's car, pleading the necessity
of making a short call elsewhere.
His own car was temporarily out of
commission, so he hired a taxi. As a
matter of fact, he had just reinein-
