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.” FEW CHANGES ARE MADE BY CONFERENCE Continued from Page One. the statistical Secretary of the confer ence. showa the progress of the church during the conference year.

'I am not going to sit here and listen to It. either.” "Then you had better go away," re plied Merridew coldly. "We are not all In love with her. You're not In a fit state to judge," At this Rosenitetn laughed. "She has bewitched him,” he sneered. Karl swore at him fiercely. "This lx your dulng, you fool.

I tell not. 1 betray no one." "Oh. don't give us any moro of your fxlry tales. I have made up my m'.nd for one.” he declared to the others. •She'* done It." Karl Intervened again at that, and a pretty quarrel followed. “I’ll answei for her, as for myself." he cried; dis regarding nil tile protests of the others or.d the authority of Merridew, and continuing to champlou Olive's euui lustily. Every attempt either to argue with him or to silence him only Increased hi * rage until at length he sprang back from the table, white of face and qulv. ering with passion. "I won't have It! I won't Pave It!" he shouted with a vlo. lent oath. "You know me. all of you. and that what I tay 1 mean. I swear that If this Infernal thing Is carried any further I'll blow on the whole of you and tell everything l know." A pause of consternation follow * this unexpected development, silence. Then they turned rose as If to attack him. revolver and leveled "You'd better mind,” he ssld threaten Ingly. ‘‘This has got to stop tight now.” Merridew was very calm. "It needn't come to that, Hartmann. Pul that weapon away. We'll talk It out." "No. I'm through with the talking," and he moved away as If to cross to Olive. But a chair stood In the way and, not seeing It, he stumbled, and the next Instant the revolver was tom out of his hand by Franks, who was nearest to him, and Karl was seized and had hie hands tied behind him. "Now perhaps you can see the mis chief you've done by your obstinacy,” said Merridew to Olive, when order had been restored In this summary 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.

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. Continued in Tomorrow's Georgian. DR.
