aliening ruin, not only were the chairs
full, but standing room only was
available in the offices.
Their occupants came from all
classes; clerks from up -town dry -
goods houses, who had run down dur-
ing lunch time to see whether U. P.
or Erie, or St. Paul had moved up an
eighth, or down a quarter, since they
had devoured the morning -papers on
their way to town; old speculators
who had spent their lives waiting
buzzard-lrike for some calamity, en-
abling them to swoop down and make
off with what fragment they could

fingers and thuntbs--un every few
animates to Eaten to the tbalk of the
ticker, too arudous to watt until the
swallow -faced young man with the
piece of chalk could make his record
on the board. Some of them had
gathered together their last dollar,
Two per cent. or one per cent., or
even one-half per cent. rise or fall
was all that stood between them and
ruin.
"Very sorry, sir, but you know we
told you when you opened the account
that you must .keep your margins
MI," Breen had said to an old man.
The old man knew; had known it
all night as he lay awake, afraid to
tell •his wife of the sword hanging
above their heads. Knew it, too,
when without her knowledge he bad
taken the last dollar of the little nest
egg to make good the deficit owed
Breen & Co. over and above his mar-
, gins, together with some other things
I "not negotiable"—not our kind of col -
.lateral but "stuff" that could 'Mie in
the safe until he could make some
other arrangement," the cashier had
said 'with the fiern's consent.
Queer safe, that of Breen & Co.,
and queer things went into it. Most
of them ,were still there. Jack thought
same jeweller had sent part of his
stock down for safe -keeping when he
first came across a tiny drawer of
which Breen alone kept the key. Each
object could tell a story: a pair of
diamond ear-nings surely could, and so
could four pearls on a gold chain, and
perhaps, too, a certain small watch,
the case set with jewels. One of
these days they may be redeemed, or
they may not, depending upon whe-
ther the owners can scrape money
enough together to pay the balances
owed in cash. But the four pearls
on the gold chain are likely to
ra-
xnain there—that poor fellow 'went
overboard one_niorning off Nantucket
Light, and his secret went with him.
During the six months Jack had
tood at his desk new faces had filled
s
the chairs—the talk had varied;
though he felt only the weary mon-
otony of it all. Sometimes there had
been hours of tense excitement, when
even his uncle had stood by the ticker
and when every bankable security in
the box had been overhauled and sent
post-haste to the bank or trust com-
pany. Jack, hollowed by the porter
with a self -'cocking revolver M his
outside ,pocket, had more than once
carried the securities himself, return -
?ling to the office on the run with a
sma1,1 scrap of paper good for half a
million or so tucked away in his in-
side pocket. Then the old monotony
had r4eurned with its dull routine,
and sci had the chatter and talk. "Buy.
me a hundred." "Yes, let 'em go."
"No, I don't went to risk it." "What's
my 'balance?" '"Thought you'd get
another eights for that stock." "Sold
at that figure, anyhow," eke.
Under these conditions life to a
boy of Jack's provincial training and
temperament seemed narrowed down
to an arm -chair, a black -board, a
piece of chalk and a restless little
devil sputtering away in a glass case,
whose flat ,meant happiness or misery.
Only the tongue of the demon was in
evidence. The brain behind it, with
its thousand slender nerves. quiver-
ing with the energy of the globe,
Jack never saw, uor, for that matter,
did nineetenths of the occupatts Of
the chairs. To them its spoken word
was the dictum of fate. Success
meant debts paid, a balance in the
bank, houses, horses, even yachts and
estates—failure meant obscurity and
suffering. The turn of the roulette
wheel or the roll of a cue of ivory
they well knew brought the same k-
ilts, but these 'turnings they also
knew were 'attended with a certain
loss of prestige. Taking a flier in
the Street wait akbgelther different—

considerable portion of Breen & Co.'s
bank account. One bit of informa-
tion which Breen had vouchsafed,
while it did not relieve the gloom of
the incident, added a note of courage
to the affair:
"He was game, however, all the
same, Jack. Had to go down into
his wife's stocking, I hear. Hard
bit, but he took it like a
CHAPTER V.
While all this was going on down-
town under ,the direction of the busi-
ness end of the house of Breen, equ-
ully interesting events were taking
place uptown under the guidance of
its social head. gtrict orders had
been given by Mrs. Breen the night
before that certain dustings and ar-
rangings of furniture should take
place, the spacious stairs swept and
the 'hectic hired palms in their great
china pots watered. I say "the night
before," especial stress was laid up-
on the fact that on no account what-
ever were either Mrs. 'Breen or her
daughter Corinne to be disturbed un-.
til noon—neither of them having re-
tired until a late hour the night be-
fore.
So strictly were these orders car-
ried out that all that did reach the
younger woman's ear—and this was
not until long after anid-day—was a
scrap of news which crept upstairs
from the breakfast table via Parkins
wireless, was caught by Corinne's
maid and delivered in 'manifold with
that young lady's coffee and butter-
ed rolls. This when deciphered meant
that :Teak was not to be at the dance
that eve.ning—he having determined
isstead to snend his time up stairs
with a disreputable old fellow whom
he had picked up somewhere at a
supper the preceding night.
Corinne thought over the announce-
ment for a moment, gazed into the
egg -shell cup that Hortense was fill-
ing from the tiny silver coffee pot,
and a troubled expression crossed her
face. "What has come over Jack?"
she asked herself. 4'1 never knew
him to do anything like this before.
Is he angry, 1 wonder, because I
danced with Garry the other night?
It was his dance, but 1 didn't think
he would care. He has always done
everything to please me—until now."
Perhaps the boy was about to slip
the slight collar he had worn in her
service—one buckled on by him will-
ingly beeause—though she had not
known it—he was a guest in the
house. Heretofore she said to her-
self Jack had been her willing slave,
a feather in her cap—going every-
where with her; half the girls were
convinced he was in love with her—
e theory which she had encouraged.
What would they say now? This pro-
spect so disturbed the young woman
that she again touched the 'button,
and again Hortense glided in.
"Hortense, tell Parkins to let me
know the niornent Mr. John comes in
—and get me my blue tea -gown; I
sha'n't go out to -day." This done she
sank back on her pillows.
She was a slight Tittle body, this
'Corinne—blue-eyed,- kir-haired, with
a saucy face and upturned nose. Jack
thought when he first saw her that
she looked like a wren with its tiny
bill in the air—iand Jack was not far
out of the way. And yet she was
a very methodical, level-headed little
wren, with several positive convictions
which dominated her Bfe—one oI
them being that everybody about her
ought to do, not as they, but as -she,
pleased. She .had • begun, and with
pronounced success; on her another as
far back as she could remember, and
ihad then tried her hand on her step-
father 'until it became evient that
as her mother controlled that gentle-
man it was a W8.k.e of time to ex-
periment further. .AT1 of which was
a saving of stones without the lots
o 1any ibirds.
Where she failed—and she certain-
ly had failed, was with .Tack, who
though punctiliously polite was elus-
ive and—never quite subdued. Yet
the discovery made, she never pouted
nor lost her temper, but merely bided
her time. Sooner or later, she knew,
of course, this boy, who had seen
nothing of city -life, and, who was eel-
dentlY dazed with all the magnificence
of the stately horne overlooking the
park, would find his happiest resting-

Again the ,grirl '.pressed the button.
of the cord within reach of her hand,
and for the third time Hortenseen-
tered.
"Have you told .Farkins I want to
know the very instant Mr. John conies
in?"
"Yes, miss." -
"And, Hothasse, did you understand
that Mr. John wan 'to go out to meet
the gentleman, or was the gentleman

"To hie room% 1 think, miss."
She was wearing her blue tea -
gown, stretched out on the cushions
of one of the big divans in the silent
drawing -room, .when she heard Jack's
night -key touch the lock. Springing
to :her feet she tan toward him.
"Willy, Jack, what% this 1 hear a-
bout' -your not coining to my dance?
It isn't true, is ft?" She was close
to hint now, her' little head cocked
on one side, her thin, silken draperies

"Who told you?"
"Parkins told Hortense."
"Leaky Parkins?" laughed Jack,
tossing his bat on the hall table,
"But you are coming. aren't you,
.Tack? Please do!"
"Not to -night; you d in't need me.
Corinne." His voice to!,l her at once
that not only was the leash gone but
tiat the collar was off :.s wall,
"Yes, but I do.'"
"Then please excuse nnr, for I have
an old gentleman coming to pay me
a visit. The finest old gentleman, by
the way, you ever saw! A regular
thoroughbred, Corinne—who looks
like a magnificent portrait!" he add-
ed in his effort to interest her.
"But' let him come some other
time," she coaxed. holding the lapel
of his coat, her eyes searching his.
"What, turn to :he wall a magnifi-
cent old portrait!" This came with
a mock grimace, his body bent for-
ward, his eyes briouning with laugh-
ter.
Be serious„fack, and tell me if
you think it very rice in you to stay

ing a dance? Everybody Will know

"I really alt s ir y, Corinne, but I
can't this time." ia2k had hold of
her hand now; for a brief moment
he was sorry h.• had not postponed
Peter's visit untii he next day; he
hated to cause any woman a disap-
pointment. "If it was anybody else
I might send him word to call an-
other night, but y u dein't know Mr.

you can treat like :hat. He does me
a great honor to come, anyhow. Just
think of his coming to see a boy like
me—and he so--"
'Veil, bring him downstairs, then."
Her eyes began 1 dash; she had tried
all the arts She knew—they were not
many—but they had Avon heretofore.
"Mother will take care of him. A
Food many of the girls' fathers come

"Bring him dounstaars to a dance!"
Jack answ.ereal n Ult a merry laugh.

One of the Wogld's Finest Long Distance Trains
The hihtory of the railroad in Ca n4c.la makes interesting reading. While it ia one of the comparatively modern.
jnstitutions, lew have made greater strides in development than it. •
Some of our oldest inhabitants may still remember when the first steam locomotive was imported and tried 'out,
and undoubtedly many can recall the time when railway service was very crude and meagre.
Records show that the first railway Charter in Canada was granted in 1832. in MU the first railway, which waif..
sixteen miles long, from 1.0 Prairie on the St • Lawrence to St. John on the Richelieu, was opened lartraffic. The
rails, unlike the solid steel one's of to.day, weighing 100 lbs. to the yard, were of wood„ woh a strip of steel spiked.
on the top. The Iran year of operation, hocks were used, but in 1837 a steam locomotive was imported and put into
service Ten years there.were only 54 miles of road open for tratiii.., However. in A353 there began a great;
era of railway constrm c11 bringing in itA wake development and colonization. To -day the people of Canada, in,
their Canadian Nat,.....,1•Grand Trunk Railways, own over 22,000 Miles of road, the greatest railway system in the
world.
With t he passing of the years and the ever increasing mileage have also come many changes in railway equipment':
From the rakish little engine used in 1855, modern ins entioh has evolved the mighty Pacific type of locomotive;
weighing 407,700 lbs , and having eight powerful dri, ing wheels, 69 inches jn diameter, used to -day. Wooden
const/rur 1 ion has given way to solid steel constriK ion. and to -day the great traTscontinental flier, "The Continental
Limited,- operated by 1 he Canadian. National RA IIWAPIS, is equipped with practically all the comforts and coal'
veniences of a modern hotel. This premier train provides a daily transcontinental service in both directions between,.
Montreal and Vancouver, and is called "The Continental Limited," as signifying that it travels across the cantinent.
To keep up this daily service via Ottawa, Winnipeg Saskatoon and Edmonton, it is necessary to maintain'
14 trains, 10 of which are in active service all the time, the other four being used as guard trains. To equip She
trains actively in service it takes 10 locomotives. 30 baggage or express cars, 10 colonist cars, 10 tourist cars, Mil,
standard sleepers, 10 dining cam and. 10 observation -compartment cars—in all about $3,500,000 worth of equipmemg
A crew of 100 men is needed to operate these trains.
•
The route of "The Continental Limited" traverses six of the provinces of the' Dominion.. From-Montrelitir
is passes through the famous Cobalt mining district and the pulp forests of Northern Ontario, via Ottawa, North
Bay and Cochrane. to Winnipeg, thence continuing across some of the richest farmlands of the prairie provinces -
via Saskatoon and Edmonton It then proceeds through the Northern Canadian Rockins.visiaspar andidetten.
