NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
b
Almon Strauss, cabling from Paris
urged John Breen to continue the
work of Colfax:
You have never met use but. I know
and have confidence in you, W'c must
not despair, no matter how dark the
night. We must go forward where -
ever we sec our way rr where eve
feel our way. Planninng roust con-
tinue so that later on we wi1I knew
what to do.
John Breen didn't know what to
do. The pay he was getting was

return for lavish entertainment,

visees to the genial atmosphere of
St.Botolph and the tender merciei.
of the great St. James, Rantoul af-
ter this whieh Josephine
felt she held a charter interest, fell
into the ' expanding schemes of
George St, James. •
Almost without trying, and because
of Josephine "Clever, you know," he
found himself •en the inside in Shell

dollar combination of enterprises }en-

also began the erection of vast ex-
plosive works in New Jersey, mann-
facturieg an unstable compound with
great rapidity as its 'chemists learned
the business, in quantity production

fictitious importance was made Chair-
man of the Board. Tri -Nitro soared'
to dizzy heights with the booking ret'

led Rantoul into the picric acid. pool
a. sweet bit of business engineered
by St. ,Tames.
St. James, swinging Rantoul with
him at the ]lead of a group of the
more daring newer men, bought n
fleet of lake steamers and founded
ile weeld trading crvporation of Jae -
on, Fillmore, and Jones. with pre-
tentious offices on Broadway. This
firth was named aftee three likable
`haps in his office. The 1;ene was
listed on the Stock Exchange and
skyrocketed from the start. The
world was hungry for genius, it lap -

and fought for the privilege of
giving away its money.
But St. James' greatest achieve-
ment was Safety Submarine', selling
on the curb at ten, with few buyers.
while jobbers washed tate stock in
petty larewlcy against a few lucky
simpletons who bought before tho
upward trend of war. With the ad,
vent of St. James and Rantoul, and
the influx of following money, cane
a classic upward clash. Safety --the
name itself gave security—!began to
soar and touched a point where the
stock could not be bought at any
pice. Five hundred dollar,: a share
ivas offered but few were wise e-
nough to sell.

picion and therefore subject to forc-

city would calla down. How it tos-

people.
When the youth; Mitchel, was ov-
erwhelmed by the myth, Hylan, when
the shaky city was being pounded
hourly by rumors, in that time when
Shipping and men and dollars ming-
led in red` carnival, Josephine Ran -
tout splurged in a splendid orgy of
waste. She even made money,, and
she demonstrated her ability to spend'
it.
The war carried Gerritt Rantoul
into financial whirlpools where he
navigated with much skill Muni-
tions -speculations
uni-tions-speculations sent his star. to
dizzy altitudes, shot him upward on
a rise of values. Rantoul, at last,
was many times a millionaire.
Rantoul, at a dollar a year, also
served his country while his New
York office, in Pine Street, burned
with activity. At the very beginning
of the wild time, a Russian Cons=

neoteric Cult to which she subscribed

ty-five percent of the mrney taken
was clear profit, for Torpillier. But
Josephine, in very becoming frocks,
things with the new military effect,
dawn gray, and sky blue, carried on
her flirtations with an eves wideninpl
effect. She felt no fidelity among
admirers; she never made the fatal
mistake of being bound up in any
one man. Poor Rantoul, chanting' his
Tittle private ditty, at times casting
lecherous eyes at hbolcl telephone
tarts, girls who looked upon him as
a prospective sugar• papa, to employ
terse terms of the time, nursed n
burning jealousy. The sad part oe
his predicament was his real love for.
Josephine, based upon nothing brie
futility.
The splurge, she made, the bills
she ran, the Countless worthless .fob,
lowers who rode in his ears, drank
his° lipuor, ate his food, began to
tell on -him. Men hung at her elbow,
'rent over her, pursued her with the
intensity of wild infatuation. Then
things began to get a little .out of
hand. St. James, in the process of
soueezine• .rag holders, nipped Gerrit
Rantoul for n million; it was a stain:.
Josephine bad jilted St. James: Then
Tri -Bull was condemned .by the Gov -
eminent as unsafe. The Army
would have none of it. The Navy re-
fused even to use it in depth bombs.
It was reported as an unstable :ex-
plosive, Gerrit Rantoul lost heavily
in Tri -Bull, finding himself posses-
sed of most of St. James' holdingsi
exchangned for value before the bad
news seeped through that the stuff
Was worthless. St was one of the
little forgotten tragedies among the

The expensive apartment at the
St. Botolph had been suceeeded by
a more lavish suite covering two
floors ;of the new Du Barry. A sup-
er -flat with private elevators and
exclusive service, all expensive nest
bordering on the eastern edge of
Central Park. Poor Rantoul fairly
groaned when he began to realize
the drain of this establishment. He

John had survived. "He'll probably
never get back to the ;front." A
look of great concern came into Jose-

"Gerrit, I'm going across. I feel

Then the armistice uproar swept
the greater city, the floodgates of
relief deluged the avenues and cross
streets with flying ticker tape and
scraps of paper, The town was wild,
crazy. J esenhine, in a becoming nni-
fornt ,of olive drab, with a shiny Sant
Browne belt, sailed from the scene
of her triumphs leaving a trail of
bills and an army of domestic ser-
vants to the tender disposition of her
aged spouse.
Judge Marvin Kelly, as trustee of
her private fortune, smiled at the
comnlete and tlrlorough manner in
whieh this very capable and practical
Warnem had built up the resources
of the fortune of Van Horn.
Mrs. Wentworth left for Kentucky,
`"Plnssk heaven, for a rest," she said.
"When you see John, give him my
regards." Judge Kelly had approv-
ed ee-rtain arrangements as to real
estate,
"Dear :Marvin. how lovely of you
to think of him." She kissed the sol-
id cid sachem, and was gone.

not find words to express his aver-

from her, he trembled, trembled, as
he tore it open, and cursed her.
