He had said that prices, having struck bottom, could go no lower. Now the bottom itself was knocked out. Prices stopped - falling at last because of the closing of the markets. Europe established a general moratorium. America established one' of sentiment. Everybody owed somebody else, and everybody gave tolerance because everybody needed it. Night fell on the commercial world, a night illumined by horrors unknown before. Bayards factory could not meet even its diminished pay roll. The president of the concern ( could not borrow a penny at the bank of which he was a director The factory shut down, sending all its workmen into the hordes of the unemployed. .

Clay Wlmburn, a young New Yorker on a visit to Cleve land, meets pretty Daphne Kip, whose brother is in the same office with Clay in Wall street. After a whirlwind courtship they become engaged. Daphne goes to New York with her mother to buy her trousseau, Daphnes brother, Bayard; has just married and left for Europe with his bride, Leila. Daphne and her mother install themselves in Bayards flat! who seems greatly atDaphne meets Tom Duane, tracted to her. Daphne accidentally discovers that .Clay is penniless, except for his salary. Bayard and his wife return to New York unexpectedly. The three women set out on a shopping excursion and the two younger women buy expensive gowns, having them charged to Bayard. Bayard is furious over the expense, seeing hard times ahead. Daphne, indignant, declares she will earn her own living and breaks her engagement with Clay. Through an introduction by Duane, Daphne induces Beben, a theatrical magnate, to give her a position in one of his com-- , panies. . Her first rehearsal is a fiasco, but Beben, at Duanes request, gives her another chance. Sudden illness of Miss Kemble, the star, gives Daphne her chance, but her acting is a dismal failure. She is consoled by Tom Duane. Daphne turns fo Clay and they plan to be mar! ried, but the following day, as a result of the hard times, Clays salary is cut in half and they are forced to abandon their plans.

" Cleveland turnips! Be was so sure of his father that he ended his letter with an advance payment of thanks. This was the first payment he had made In advance for a long time. He sealed the letter, put a special delivery stamp on It, and took it to the branch post office so that it would reach Cleveland i without fail the next morning. When he got back to the house there was a telegram from home..,. Leaving beaver due tomorrow a. m. dont meet me but be home must see you important mamma well love. FATHEB. The next morning Bayard rose betimes to meet his father at the train. And Daphne went to the Grand Central station with him. She ran to her father and flung her arms about him, and Bayard hugged him and carried his suitcase for him. It was no time to be tipping a porter. Nor to be making use of taxicabs with the jitney subway at hand. Bayard lugged his fathers suitcase along Fifty-nint- h street. The hall boy, who had not been tipped for some days, observed a strict neutrality. He was feeling the pinch, too. When breakfast was ended Wesley noted that Leila herself carried the dishes away, with Daphnes help. When the table was clear she closed the door on the two men and said: Well leave you two alone to talk business. The two men regarded each other askance, as uneasily as two wrestlers circling for a hold. Wesley was the ; first to speak.. He said: ' , Well, my boy?' I wrote you a long letter last night, dad, Bayard said. You did? What about? Bayard had guessed the situation; he saw the cruel joke of it. He thought he could dull the edge with mockery. He snickered, rather crav-enl- y: Bayard tried Leilas recipe for a time, but there were expenses that he could not charge, and even the wad of money she had smuggled out of Newport did not last long. Other people were no more willing to pay bills than he. Moneys that were owed to him he could not collect He could not re- - I wrote to ask you to lend me some money, I guess I wasted the postage. And I guess I wasted the fare over here. I thought I oughnt have taken a berth in the sleeper, but your mother insisted said Id not been feelin any too well. Bayard laughed outright a laugh wet with vinegar tears. Wesley sank into a chair with the little whimper of a sick old man. ! Bayard went to his father and put his arm about him and regretted his Wall street disaster with a ferocious remorse. He could nob speak, and there was a long dumbness before Wesley sighed:.- - . ;.v I guess we got to lose the home, then. That then was a history in a word. Bayard bent his head in shame at his helplessness,. As usual, it was Wesley who found a shabby comfort in the situation found it for his son. Dont you think anything more about it, my boy. Im kind of relieved. He giggled with a pitiful senility. I been so ashamed at traipsin' over here to bother you instead of rushin over to help you like I ought to being your father that Im kind of glad you Cant help me. I got no right to add to your troubles. Im supposed to ' take care of you. . Bayard kept groaning: To lose your home! To think of you losing your home And me standing by! After! Why, its nothing, Bayard. all, were not in Belgium. Weve got friends. And relations. Theres no danger of anything happening tojus, Daphne and Leila overheard this' conversation while listening in the hall. Daphne clung to Leila and buried her face In Leilas bosom to smother her frenzied 'grief. Leila, mopping Daphnes cheek with her, own handkerchief, caught the glint of a diamond on her finger. It glistened like a great, immortal tear. ,. , It inspired her with a' new hope. She had often consoled herself with the thought of her jewels as a final refuge, but she had put off the evil day. Now she felt that the time1 had come. She, threw open the door and spoke Into the gloom with a voice of seraphic beauty:.' i ; I couldnt help hearing what you were saying. You neednt be downhearted, though, for1 Ive Just 'thought of a way to help daddy out. He was daddy to her also. Bayard and Wesley turned "arid stared at her In amazement; - She went on In a kind of ecstasy, she cried. My rings Don't you see! My diamonds and rubles I And Ive got a neeklnco or two, and some chains and brooches. Theyre wiprtti a lot of money. And youre wcVgmp to em, daddy. The men were confused with too many emotions to know what to. feel, much less wlint to say. Leilas mission was so divinely meant that It was sacrilege ts receive It with reluctance. And yet for Wesley to let this now daughter-in-lapnivn her trinkets for him was humiliation. The end of It was that. Bayard do- , . ; ... ... .(. She Ran to Her Father and Flung Her Arms About Him. , spond to the multitudinous appeals for This was a ' real shame in times of such frantic needs. He could not do any of the honorable, pleasant things that 'one can do with money. He had to do many of the dishonorable, loathsome things one without money must do. In his desperation Bayards thoughts reverted to his original rescuer, his father. i He never appealed to the old man in vain. Bayard had often promised himself the delight of sending ' home a big check as a subtraction from his venerable debt. But It was a promise easy to defer, In the face of ail the other temptations and opporHis father never pressed tunities. him, never expected a return of the money he had been investing In the boy.

Daphhe had watched Leilas little scene with as much confusion as the other two Kips. She felt g , normal amount of jealousy, of course, as woman to woman, i but no more than a healthy amount, for she liked Leila and she was grateful to Leila for being able to rescue her father and for being willing to. It was a fine thing for Leila to strip herself of her last splendor to help an old father-in-lapay the interest on a mortgage on a house in another town. Daphne gave Leila full meed of applause for that. What embitter- d Daphne was that it had to be Leila and not herself that saved her father, and that Leila had to do the deed by spending things she ts, had not paid .for' gewgaws, gifts. Leila had collected from life perhaps three thousand dollars worth- of jewels and Daphne had collected, a .fifty-dollcheck, framed and that check was in lieu of work. As soon as she remembered that check she ran up to ' her room arid took it down from the wall, ripped off the back of the frame and removed the 'check from the mat. She studied it and thought, The first money andthe last. ..Then a ' vigor and determination clenched all her muscles in a kind of lockjaw.

All her powder exploded in that one detonation She fell over into a chair in horror. The blasphemy seemed to rattle about the little room. It terrified her. Mrs. Chlvvis ran down the hall, carrying her everlasting sewing, and tapped on the door and asked : Did you call me, my dear? 'Are , i you ill? I No, thank you. Im all right. didnt say anything. That was doubly false. She had said something. In the slang of the hour she had said something. She had said an earful, also a heartful. Mrs. Chivvls supposed that what she had heard was some voice 'from the street, and went back along the hall, stitching as she walked. Daphne took the check and went down to Bayards apartment. Bayard was on his way to the pawnbrokers. Leila was in his .room. Old Wesley sat in a chair facing a wall.' He seemed to see through it. Daphne went to him and put the check in his hand, explaining what it was. Its ail I ever earned, daddy, and I want you to have it. He looked at it and smiled and tears fairly shot out of ,his eyes. He patted her hand between, his and said : Why, honey, I couldnt take your poor little earnings ! Not for anything in this world.
