A dash of mystery awakens the curios ity when the curtain goes up and re veals the office of Robert Rose, u rich | broker. There Is constant reference to tho > '‘millionaire detective,” the mysterious man, but no one sees hltn, yet, he does marvelous things. This Mr. Rose has a clique of finan cial men bent upon hla ruin who are not troubled with delicate scruples. The beautiful Mrs. Sedgwick, "Queen of Frenzied Finance,” with her brokers, has ruined Samuel Morrison, president of the Gotham National Bank, a very estimable man, with a chfirmlng daugh ter. Mr, Morrison holds what proved to be forged securities, given to him by Mrs. Sedgwick, for which he advanced large sum*, Mrs. Sedgwick and her "con” brokers plan to recoyer posses sion of these securities to save them selves from prosecution.
