FISH RELEASES
5,500 OF I.C. STOCK
Harahan Says Fish Was
Ashamed of His
Injunction.
Chicago, Nov. 26.—Stuyvesant Fl»h’»
attorneys sprang a surprise on E. H.
Harrlman's lawyers yesterday when
they moved to release the 5,MO shares
of Illinois Central stock owned by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, which
was involved In the Injunction secured
by Fish. No objection was made, how.
ever, and Judge Ball entered the de
sired order. .....
This does not affect the validity of
the Injunction as to the 281,211 shares
of Illinois Central stock owned by the
Union Paclrtc Railroad Securities Com
pany and the Individuals named by
Fish In the original £111.
Later In the day President Harahan
Issued a statement as follows:
"Mr. Fish was either afraid or
ashamed of the Injunction which he
obtained. He was a trustee of the life
Insurance company when It bought the
r Illinois Central stock and he voted the
stock for yeara Mr. Peabody, presi
dent of the Insurance company, whom
Mr. Kish sought Jo prevent voting this
stock, was not connected with the com
pany when the stock was acquired.
When Mr. Fish ceased to be a director
In the Insurance company he discred
ited his own record by attacking V-
vestmenls which he had assisted in
making.”

fashion. "Do you mean to persist 7"
Olive meanwhile had been thinking
busily. Tha overpowering of Knrl left
her absolutely defenseless and at the
mercy of them nil. That Merridew
Intended to push matters to extremes
against her was clear. He disbe
lieved her story and was convinced
that she wns a spy. Rosenstetn shared
that view, and probably Franks also.
"1 will tell." She said. "But not nit
of you. Only Mr. Mawford. 1 can also
tel! .some other things that will con
vince. They are very Important."
He sent the rest out of the room.
They were left alone, and he signed to
her to tnke the chair next to him.
When »he was thus quite close to him.
he stared hard at her face, and gave n
start. She saw his eyes glance around
ns if searching his memory for some
forgotten likeness, and then he looked
again at her very piercingly.
He did not speak for the moment,
but alio nottced that the color began
slowly to recede from h!s cheeks.
He leaned back In his chair and pass
ed tits hand across his brow, closing
s eyes the while in thought.
With the same slow deliberateness he
bent forward again, his face as dark os
thundercloud.
Then ho broke the silence—his voice
low, tonso nnd rather husky.
"Tnke off those glasses," he said.
Olive obeyed. Laying them on the
table, she raised her head and met hie
gaze steadily and without a quiver.
And so they sat In silence, staring
straight Into ekeh other's eyes.
CHAPTER XXVII.
Olive’s Vlotory.
During the tense silence In which
Olive and Merridew eat etarlng thus
fixedly Into each other's eyes, the line
which she should take with him came
to her like a flash of Inspiration.
His growing fear bom of his recogni
tion of her prompted the thought. His
color faded until his face was as white
as his fingers as he pressed them nerv
ously together, and the expression of
his eyes changed from doubt to sur
prise. from surprise to anger, from an
ger to concern, and then were filled
with unmistakable fear.
She understood the transition of the
thoughts beneath. He wee beginning
to realize something of what the dis
covery meant to him.
Suddenly he made a strenuous effort
to free himself from the apathy which
enchained him, and to decide upon the
course to take,
"Well, what Is the name, frauleln?’
Olive had to repress the Inclination
(o smile. That he should of himself
affect to maintain the pretense of ig
nurance of her Ider. ’fy was more than
significant of Ills ft illngs. "Before 1
give you the name, 1 have a little story
to tell you."
"I wont no more of your stories,” he
ssld, Impatiently, with a wave of the
hand.
“You will hear this one," ehe replied,
meaningly. She had laid aside her af
fectation of a German accent, but he
took no notice of this. "You will listen
borauso It affects Gideon Mawford.’
His hands clenched Involuntarily,-
and he winced, but almost instantly
he appeared to recover himself and
dRshed hie hand on the table. "You
are a spy. That Is clear now. I will
have the others back. They shall de
cide this.”
"My story Is this," answered Olive,
not noticing his outburst. "Before I
joined this—your confraternity of hon
est niog—I refer to the old Chicago
days, the leader was one Seth Cooper,
He was detected breaking your law,
that no one shall keep to himself any
property, great or little, of which h«
may In any way become possessed
You know who detected him, you know
hie fate, you know who shot hjni. I
have another story to tell your men—of
nnother leader who has done what
Seth Coojier did. Will you call them in
to listen to It? Dare you, Mr.—Merri
dew 7"
"She whispered the najne; but low
as the tone was, he glanced round fur
tively In deadly fear. All his bombast
had vanished again.
"You called me a spy; and In that
you are right. I am a spy—spying not
on these men, they are nothing to me,
l-uf on you. You are everything to me,
end ft Is bemuse of you I am here.
You know this as well as you know
who I am, although It suits your pur-
1 pose for the moment to pretend Ig
norance. I am Olive Parmenter dis
guised as Rosa Baumeteln. and because
of that you hold my life In your hands.
But mine Is not the only life at stake
now. Call them in, then—If you dar»."
He sat thinking intently, biting his
Angers, the picture of a hunted man;
desperate and deadly dangerous In his
extremity, but for the time baffled,
foiled, afraid, and nt his wits’ end.
He know the men associated with
him .too well to think that If
they heard what Olive could tell them
they would spare him. He had
himself done the very thing
for punishing which In the rase of tho
former leader they had set him In his
place. Cooper's power at the time had
been far greater than even his own wa*
now, and If this fact was told there
could only be one end.
• There was no escape that way. They
must not be told; whatever the cost ho
must prevent It. Then a plan occurred
to him.
"You have beaten me,” he said. "I do
not deny-It. What you wish I will do.
I must.”
"The good name and all that you
have robbed me of must be restored;
and the truth about that old marriage
at Sheffield must'be told.”
"That marriage took place, Miss Par
menter. That I swear to you."
"Then we will have the rest In: for
I have no wish to live a life of such
shame os that Involves." replied Olive,
with absolute firmness.
"Walt, hear me. Keep this secret and
provide me with sufficient money, and
the whole story shall be dented. I
will leave the country- A few thou
sand pounds will be enough. That Is
all I can do."
"No: I will be no party to any such
fraud."
'•Then I con do no more.” he said,
heaving a deep sigh of despair as he
threw up hla hands and leaned back
In his chair.
This result was a keen and bitter
disappointment to Olive. She hsd built
so much on forcing the truth from
him—or- what she believed to be the
truth—that she, In her turn, was baf
fled and sorely disheartened. She tried
a bribe.
‘•You shall have a hundred thousand
pounds, Mr. Merridew, If the truth le
told.”
"If you offered a hundred millions.
I could not alter what I have said."
he replied. "Do you suppose I don't
wish to save my life, or that I would
let anything that I could do stand In
the way? If you force this thin* now, .
you will Insure my death, and will as
surely sacrifice your own life. But
that Is all. Do as you will.”
What he said was true enough In
that respect at least. And although
she had declared her readiness to dlo
rather than contlnuo to live as a name
less girl, that was by no means her
real thought. Life was very dear to
her. anil she was not disposed to throw
it away.
