tumult attested the Indignation of the
professional traders.

Rives laughed and rose to go.
The Main Mogul.
“Don’t lease yet, old man." urged
Allan. "The works can get along
for another hour without you. Mutrle
will be here presently, and it would
be just as well for you to be around."
"Yes? Who 1m Mutrle?" inquired
Rives.
"He’s the main mogul of the Rea!
Estate Exchange. He called up just
before you came in and said he’d be
down within an hour if I could eee
him. I told him to toddle right along
and—Hello!" A voice issued out of
a s iunre box at hffc elbow.
“Mr. Mutrle to *ee you, sir"
"Tell him to come in." said / ,
pressing a button In the side o? the
little box, which transformed it into
an active telephone.
Mr. Mutrle proved to he a white*
haired man of about 45 w ith a thick,
close-cropped white mustache and
light blue eyes. He seemed to regard
life as a serious business, especially
when it Impinged upon real Estate.
Allan shook hands with him and
Introduced Rives as his "friend and
colleague. Avho 1m In actual charge at
Tunnel City."
"You 'have certainly torn up a lot of
ground, Mr. Rives." remarked the real
estate king, pleasantly. "I have been
down to look you over several times
recently "
"Yes. I think we are making con
siderable headway." said Rives. "We
expect t,o begin the actual boring next
week."
"Indeed!" murmured Mr. Mutrle
and smiled slightly. Neither Rives
nor Allan understood the tone or the
smile at the moment, but It irritated
both. Allan ptirred a little impatient
ly and Mr. Mutrle turned to him.
"I have been marking down your
prices as announced tills* morning.” he
said courteously, "on the plot of the
city with which you supplied me."
“Yes 0 ”
"Yes." Mr. Mutrle’s tone was faint
ly ironical. "I think you can hardly
be serious Mr. Allan."
Allan leaned back in Ills chair and
tapped the edge of Ms desk with his
pencil.
"It’s very decent of you M feel that
way about it. Mr. Mutrle," he re
turned pleasantly, "but I didn't want
to be hogglMh. 1 suppose 1 could *ret
more for the land in the long run. but
f would much rattier let everybody in

Mr. Mutrle bit Into his thick white
mustache for a moment
"Reaving pleasantries aside," ne
said with some acerbity, "you don't
really mean to attempt to get those
prices for land In your city?”
Allan continued to tap the desk. ' I
not only mean to attempt to get them,
but I will get them "
"From whom?" demanded Mr. Mu-
trie, controlling himself with an ef
fort.
His Plan.
"Oh. anybody that wants to pav

indifferently. *'I am going to let in

each dollar of the millions might earn
a few cents before it was awallow’ed
up in the hole that Allan was driv
ing through the heart of the earth.
"It’s wonderful," the latter told
Rives, enthusiastically. "You can’t
believe how well the wwrld under
stands what this thing means and
how certain it Is!"
"My dear chap," returned Rives
with a cynical laugh, "you’re on the
wrong track altogether.”
"What do you mean?" demanded the
engineer."
They were sitting on the veranda
of the house at Tunnel City overlook
ing the sea, where the whitecaps
glistened and gleamed in the moon
light. Rives looked out across the
heaving waste and laughed again.
"You engineers are supposed to
study forces, but in this you have ig
nored the greatest force in the world.”
"What Is that?"
"Fear!"
"Fear!" echoed Allan, dumfounded.
"I don’t get you at all.”
“It’s very simple,” Rives assured
him. "Men fear two things above all
others—death and poverty. Bold
ness triumphs over death, when any
thing does, and wealth over poverty.
Your tunnel scheme is bold and prof
itable and they admire It. Unable to
triumph themselves, they want to
conquer vicariously. They read the
newspapers to get a thrill out of other
people'* experiences because they
don’t dare the experiences themselves.
They haven’t the money nor the cour
age."
But," objected Allan, "they must
believe in this thing or they wouldn’t
put w'hat money they have into it."
They believe in It because they’re
| afraid not to,” retorted Rives. "I am
j just beginning to pee how big this
j thing Is," he went on soberly. ‘.‘All
that has held back the upheaval—the
social revolution—Is this fear. thi3

| "This tunnel." he went on as Allan
j listened In dead silence, "is, so far as
‘ you know, going only to London. Goi
only knows how far It will go toward
shaping the destiny of our civiliza
tion. You have started a panic, with
a reverse movement. Instead of hoard
ing because they are afraid, people
are investing because they are afratl.
None of them understand, but all of
them dimly feel that everything In the
world is going L oe more or less In
timately connected with this schema,
and If they don' get on the right side
of the fence, they will be crushed."
"That I believe Is true," said Allan,
with faint pride.
"But how about those that can’t get
in—and those that may get in to the.r
sorrow? The survival of the most
unscrupulous is not necessarily the
law of the universe because It is the
ruling spirit of our age. The world
will be paying tribute to the tunnel
company, and the world may wake up
and ask why—and ask why about «•.
lot of other things."
“I don’t think the world is going to
kick over being benefited," returned
Allan.

And Her Folks
The story opens with Hives, who Is in charge of the technical w’orkr
ings of the great tunnel from America to Germany, on one of the tunnel
trains, with Batrmtnn. an engineer. In charge of Main Station No. 4 They
are traveling at the rate of 118 miles an hour. Hives is in love with
Mamie Allan, wife of Maekendrick Allan, whose mind first conceived the
great tunnel scheme After going about 250 miles under the Atlantic Ocean
Rives gets out of the train Suddenly the tunnel seems to burst. There
Is a frightful explosion. Men are flung to death and Rives is badly wounded.
He staggers through t he blinding smoke, realizing that about 3,000 men
have probably perished. He and oh( r survivors get to Station No. 4
Rives finds Baermann holding at bay a wild mob of frantic nrtm who want
to climb ou n work train, somebody shoots Baermann. and the train slides out.
The scene is then changed to the roof of the Hotel Atlantic. The greatest
financiers of the country are gathered there at a summons from C. H.
Lloyd. "The Money King ’’ John Hives addresses them, and introduces Al
lan. Mrs Allan and Maude Lloyd, daughter of the financier, are also pres
ent. Allan tells the company of his project for a tunnel 3,100 miles long.
The financiers agree t<* hack him. Allan and Rives want him to take charge
of the aetual work. Hives accepts. Rives ff oes to the Park Flub to meet Wit-
terstelner, a financier. At Columbus Circle news of the great project is being
flushed on a screen. Thousands are wutqhing it. Mrs Allan becomes a lonely
and neglected woman and is much thrown In the company of Rives.
Now Go On With the Story.
that your tunnel will ever be com
pleted. While I have no doubt what
ever of your good faith, the buying
public—which is largely guided by us
—has no definite assurance that your
tunnel project Is not a gigantic hoax
for the sole purpose of pulling off a
great reai estate swindle.”
It was a shrewd flunk attack and
one that had never occurred to Allan
or Rives Allan was completely con
fused for an instant, and Rives' first
impulse, controlled with difficulty,
was to throw the white-haired fox out
of the office. Then Allan recovered
his mental balance ami laughed.
"My dear Mr: Mutrle,” he said at
last, not taking pains to conceal that
the interview was rapidly becoming
unpleasant, "the best answer to that
is that while l have never seen you
before this morning and had no idea
of ever taking the trouble to see you
or sell you anything, here you are try
ing to trick or browbeat me into sell

"Yes," replied his friend gravely
"I told Maud I’d bring you back w ith
me to-night if I had to do it b>
force.”
Allan frowned slightly at his piled
up desk, looked at his watch and
then up at Rives.
‘‘(’an you wait about fifteen min
utes? 1 guess I’d better go, though
I haven’t got time. You can have
be motored back so as to get here
by 7:30 in the morning?"
"It’ll .be easy—that or a special
train.”
“All right, then," agreed Allan.w itn
hesitation, his eyes still on his desk.
“I haven’t seen Maud and the little
one for a month, it seems to me. But
I certainly hate to leave this pile of
work! Well, I ”
The phone rang. H » answered it.

trolling levers. This new power was
Money and Its tangible form was Sid-
nev Wolf.
This man was Lloyd’s other self.
But a few’ years before he had been
obscure. Then he found himself
across the board from the terrible
monev vulture in a minor chess game
of finance and had played his hardest.
Lloyd admired his skill and made him
his chief of staff.
His name originally had been Salo

Sidney \\ olfson, anJ in New York he
tunnel building showed progress to
about the halfway mark. It might be
necessary to do some juggling with
the engineering and financing, but the
two men felt equal to it.
Details of a stock market campaign
are of interest only to the expert
Briefly, Wolf arranged for subscrip
tion at par in the sum of $125,000,000
to staj’t the ball rolling when the
stock should appear on the market.
The ball rolled. Shares were $1,000
each, but by an ingenious arrange
ment of certificates which Wolf de
vised, anyone could buy an interest in
a share tor $10. Allan mainly con
ducted the advertising campaign, and
under his skillful guidance, aided by
suggestions from Wolf, the dollars
came out of forgotten corners. "A
thousand dollars now will make you
rich in old age"—this was the bait
that drew the bank accounts. From
every quarter of the globe a little
stream of dollars issued, Joining with
others and sweeping down in a roar
ing flood on the offices of the Tunnel
company. Day after day, and week
after week, the golden torrent swelled
and grew, and as fast as it came Wolf
had finally appeared as Sidney Wolf.
He was not a genius of finance. He
was a inawter general of dollars,
which is a different thing. As Aflan
knew the working capacity of a drill,
so this man knew the working ca
pacity of a dollar. He could not
dream great visions of finance, but
when shown the field of a campaign
and placed aA the head of millions he
was an invincible fighter.
From a dog-poor student Wolf had
become a multi-millionaire while still
a comparatively young man. He had
made money his one aim, and was
bitterly disappointed when he found
out that its possession was not the
recipe for content. He was black
haired, thick-lipped and a trifle stout,
with fishy eyes and a heavy voice—
the type of man particularly repulsive
to the men with whom he moK de
sired ’ to associate. He hated Allan,
not because Allan underrated hisabll-
: ity or lacked respect for his money
skill, but because in all the months of
their association in the planning of
the financial campaign Allan had
never treated him as .t social ac
quaintance. He. had never asked him
to lunch or dinner; he had never in
troduced him to Mrs. Allan or inti
mated that he might be desirable as a
guest at his home even in a vague,
non-committal way. Rives treated
him with formal politeness, and ‘Al
lan’s other acquaintances ignored
h*m.
Allan, hail-fellow-well-met with
half the underlings about the offices
of the tunnel company, invariably
addressed the money master as "Mr.
Wolf." The "Mr.” grated every time
Wolf heard it, for he knew it was not
a mark of respect. He resented Al-
lan’M familiarity with the others, a
familiarity that never lessened their
respect for him or the promptness of
their obedience. Wolf was obeyed
with cold precision. Alten with cheer
ful alacrity.
The First Trick.
With this type of man hatred finds'
its expression in only one direction— j
an assault on the pocketbook. His i
first trick against the engineer was
so adroitlv planned and executed that |
Allan and Rives were forced to ad
mit the justice of the resu; . though it
mulcted them of a large share of
their profits in the real estate trans

In order to prove there was nothing
in their calumnious charges. Daysey
Mayme Appleton made it a point to
take the longest way round from the
dressing room to the water, and to
linger long on its edge silhouetted
against the ocean, and with the eyes
of all beholders fixed upon h^r.
A violet hiding under & Itfedge is not
at heart more modest than Daysey
Mayme, but not one ever made charges
against the violet’s figure.
She had stood, and turned, and walk
ed a few paces, and lingered on the
shore till she felt vindicated, and then,
with a quick run, dashed into the wa
ter. She had not been unconscious
when on shore of the gaze of a very
handsome man in the water near by,
and was so much surprised when she
found herself close beside him that she
smiled. *
He smiled. She smiled again, and
noted how well he could swim.
"In the books,” she said, "he would
save me from drowning, kiss my cold
lips as he carried me to the shore, and
c^jU on the preacher next day."
His smile expressed devotion. She
would test It and she ventured out be
yond her depth.
Daysey Mayme can’t remember in
detail just what happened next. She
felt that she was being carried away,
that she was going down, down, and
that some one’s arms were holding her.
Then she lost consciousness.
It was only a minute later, but to
her it seemed years, when she felt
herself being rolled across a barrel, and
opened her eyes to the pain and hu
miliation of realism.
"I knew when I first saw her," she
heard the voice of her deliverer saying,
"that she was one of them fool kind
of bathers that don’t know nothing
about the water. Let's give her anoth

to my wife and the kids.”

A famous sculptor was seated at a

"Almost any kind, as long as she

Philadelphia. Pa.—“In December,
1908, my face became sore. I tried
everything that was recommended,
and my face got worse instead of
better. I spent over $100 and got
no benefit. The face and nose
were very red and the eruption $
had the appearance of small boile,
which itched me terribly. I can
not tell you how terrible my face
looked—all I can say is. it was
dreadful, and I suffered beyond de
scription.
"I have not gone on the street
any time since 1908 without a veil, ]
until now. Just four months ago S
a friend persuaded me to give ?
used three S
j cakes of Resinol Soap and less j
) than a jar of Resinol Ointment. > ■
£ and my face is perfectly free from l
any eruption, and my skin is as j i
clear and clean as any child’s. It c j
is about four weeks since the last ;i
pimple diappeared." (Signed) <
