The Fittest Survives A Serial Story By J. H. CONNELLY 4 CHAPTER VILL When his destiny had thus been nice» ly molded and polished aud labeled for him, he went home. A feeble instinct for self preservation had restrained him from a positive pl5dge to resign his fu- ture wholly to the direction of the po- litical \bess.\ But he had agreed to \'think it over seriously,\\ by which he meant that he would take John La- tham's advice before venturing upon a political career. Chester Sewall found not a little comfort for his self love in the cherished misconception that his col- lege education made him supericr to his almost self taught friend. He would have been much puzzled to define in what the superiority consisted. Never- theless he clung to the idea, as men most obstinately do to those things which are purely matters of faith con- sciously unsupported by reason. Of course, he said to himself, a man who knew little Latin and less Greek could not really be his equal. He could not deny that John's purposeful and resolute character and his ever ready knowledge of life were attributes in which he him- self might perhaps be slightly deficient, but they were on a lower plane than he had attained. He could afford to ac- knowledge them without envying their possessor, aud it would be but natural and proper for him to avail himself of them as upon occasion he might conde- scend to employ the muscular forces of a builder or a blacksmith. In John's prop- er though undeniably inferior field any judgment he formied would probably be correct, any advice he gave likely to be good and anything he undertook most likely to succeed. John just at that time was not in the humor to claim so much for himself. His self confidence had been rudely shaken. Mrs. Hall had delegated to him the duty of finding the missing witness, and he at the outset had made no ques- tion of laying hands upon any given Mc- Caffrey required. within a week or two. But after thrée weeks of nonsuccess, both by himself and his agents, he began to question if the lost man was in New York. wok \T cannot tell, \?. said the widow when. he raised this doubt to her, \that he is, but I have always since he disappéate had a premonition that he would. be « covered here. My husband, when'he on his deathbed, said something about|» McCaffrey having gone west, but mind was probably wandering at th time. It does not stand to reason that a: man would flee across the world to es- cape the prayers of a poor woman or fear her when he 'had a powerful backer in- terested in protecting him. He might have staid right here safely and prob- ably, in my opinion, did so. One great trouble has been that I had never seen him. I may have run against him in the streets a score of times. He must be quite an old man now.\ \Has it never occurred to you as a possipility that he may be dead?\ John asked her, . ''No. It has not. Cod would not let him die without making sgme repara- tion for the great wrong he aided in do- ing: Iam as sure of it as that I am alive-some day he will turn up again.\ \Well replied John, \if he is here, he is well hidden. When I started in to find him, I wont upon the hypothesis that he must cither be in the directory or have relatives-other McCaffreys- who were and through whom he might be reached. It was very soon established that neither of the Michnuel McCaffreys in the dirccetory was the man we want. Then I wont to work upon the most promising hundrcd of the MceCaffreys that E conid pick cut from the Hist, old and young, male and female, of all classes. . \The most pronounced result as yetis a profound conviction that the McCaf- frey mind, for occult reasons best known to itself, has a deeply rooted antipathy to the police, and I have also a vehe- ment suspicion that the, police will be Justificd in looking very sharply after doings instigated by the McCaffrey mind. All iny inquiries after the van- ished Michael elicited only demands of what I wauted with him. I did not feel myself anthorized to give \any definite information on that head, and the Mc- Caffrey mind of course leaped to the con- clusion that I was a minion of the law seeking to abridge the liberty of one of the clan, as a consequence of his highly creditable disregard for some statutory enactment. Ono amisbic old Tady Me- Caffrey puthctically regretted that she had no water handy that was {lot cneugh to scald meo, and a combqtn'e gentierian McCaffrey, strangely gifted in omate cmbellishment of hi§ parts of speech, propcsed to 'do me up just for luck,\ and would have assaulted me be- yond a doubt if I had not been armed. \I have mado up my mind that what- ever talent I may have as a sportsman does not lis in the direction of McCat- frey hunting. But the game shall be pursued all the same and more effect- \Tou shall not be sold out.\ ively than by me in person. The man I have engaged for the chase is an old and skillful detective, an exceptionally smart one, who being such is not at all likely to be suspected by them, and I shall keep him at work among them until I Imow all we want to mow about all the McCafireys.\ \I-I don't like the ices,\ stammer- ed the widow uneasily, \'of involving you, a stranger, in such an expense as a gocd detective.\ . \Oh that's all right,\ answered John jauntily. \I want to do it for my own satisfaction now. And you will scon get over the idea of locking upon me as 'a stranger,\ I hope. Addie has already.\ Addie peeped slyly at him, with a little smile and a blush, and even around the old woman's mouth there was a #ho- mentary decpening of the wrinkles, as if she, too, would have smiled had not that grace been long forgotten by the muscles in her sad countenance. John Latham told the truch when he said he wanted to keep up the McCaffrey hunt on his own account. He was deter- mined ke would not be driven from that field. And, still a better reason, the continuance cf the chase afforded him an excuse for frequent calls at the cot- tage to tell how his detective was get- ting on and to consult with Mrs. Hall, Incidentally Addie was always present during those visits, so that he was now sure of a pleasant hour or two in her society at her home, at least once and sometimes twice a week. And he saw with pleasure that her mother was grow- ing accustomed to the sight of him, per- haps was sometimes even pleased to see him. In truth, he was making better progress than he thought Under her hard and cold exterior the widow hid a good warm heart and was not slow to appreciate the sterling manhood of her daughter's lover. \He will make her a good husband when justice is done and I am gone,\ she said to herself. ' La # . % # % % One ezeniug when Latham returned home Chester Sewall said to him: _ \You look as happy as if you had won the grand prize in a lottery.\ ''Why, so I have, the grandest prize in the lottery of life, the honest affec- tion of a noble, true hearted girl.\ \Ah yes, very delightful, no doubt,\ drawled Chester, affecting a cynical tone, \but it isn't 'practical.'\ \\What is the matter with you, Chet?\ :.. ''Nothing, only my girl and Wall street together are teaching me the val- e \practical. '*' iss Willmarth come around to &#iyviews?' R afdly say definitely as to that. ' Taes urging me to go into poli- under the banmer of Mr. Pratt, of hom, between us, I am getting rather tired, and I have agreed to, as you sug- gested, look the field over and see what it offers. - But there's time enough for that, The burning issue of 'the hour is that the last dollar I have in the world is in peril-imminent peril.\ \How so?\ ''That infernal stock cannot possibly go half a point lower. It will not be allowed to. Everybody says it is a mir- acle that it has got down to where it is. It must take a turn, and when it starts to go up will regain lost ground, and more, too, very rapidly. But if I do not put up $1,000 to protect my margin by \10 o'clock tomorrow I shall be sold out under the rule. Every dollar I had left is in it already, and if it goes I shall be ruined.\ f 'Don't let it worry you, my boy. You shall not be sold out.\ - ChAPTER IX, | John Latham held a limited and con- ditional . though publicly acknowledged partnership in the prominent legal firm of Gaunett, Stryker & Latham, a place he had conquered by sheer merit. While his financial gains from it were not as yet much better than the salary he formerly received as the managing clerk of Messrs. Gaunett & Strayer, the part- nership was far more advantageous than the clerkship, since it gave him stand- img and a certainty of ultimate fortune. A very considerable portion of the busi- ness of the firm was the exhaustive in- vestigation of properties and enter- prises, of any and every kind, in which their rich clients contemplated invest- ments. For this class of work clear headed, wide awake, thorough and con- scientious John Latham had come to be regarded as a man of remarakble value. One of the notable triumphs of the firm was his first achievement in that line, and, by the way, the manner in which the opportunity therefor fell to him seemed at the time to be sheer accident. A. couple of clients. who. were about that. I know it rests agreat deal to hire: making & jot investment of balf a million dollars in .a western railroad scheme, at the last moment bethought them that it would be at least a prudent thing, notwithstanding the excellent representation made to them, to have Gaunett & Stryker critically examine the enterprise before they risked their money upon it. Mr. Gaunett could not leave town, Mr. Stryker chanced to be ill, and so the delicate and highly re- sponsible duty was perforce confided to their then managing clerk, Mr. Latham. His report was emphatically against the investment as unsafe, and in a very few months events proved his judgment correct, So heartily was his good work in that investigation appreciated that the grateful clients, in addition to pay- ing the firm's fee, gave him a very handsome present out of the half mil- lion he had unquestionably saved to them, while his employers, recognizing his value, made a place in the firm for him, Of course there were those who enviously said \John is very lucky.\ But is it not strange how \lucky\ men of brains and energy are? ~ Upon reaching his office one morning a couple of days after Chester's exposi- tion of the desperate plight of his specu- lations Mr. Latham found awaiting his personal consideration and prompt ac- tion an important picce of business, closely akin to that already mentioned. A southwestern railroad this time afford- ed the subject for an investigation, and the matter was one that would admit of no delay. > He was busied until late in the afternoon in getting such neces- sary data as were at his clients' com- mand and in closing up such office busi- ness as could be put aside for a time. Then he wrote a letter of instructions to the detective, whom he characterized as his \McCaffrey chaser,\ and hastened off to Harlem for a farewell interview with Addie. By 7 o'clock he was at home, packing a valise, and at 9 was aboard an express train starting out of Jersey City. At the time of Chester Sewall's launching himself upon a business ca- reer, when he set out to win a fortune in Wall street, he had sensibly taken John Latham's advice in retrenching his unnecessary expenditures, and one of the main steps to. that eud was his removal from the costly hotel where he had been living to the combined lodging and boarding house in which John resided. There he had a bedroom, small, but large enough to sleep in, for the same sum per week as he Had been paying per diem for his apartment at the hotel. It adjoined John's room, which was a large one, and when the communicating door had been opened the young men prac- tically enjoyed the two in common. The larger one, in which a good fire was kept, served as their parlor. Some of the persons occupying rooms in the house took their meals at the landlady's table, but Latham and Sewall found jit better suited to their convenience to patronize restaurants at such times and places as appetite and opportunity conjointly served. When Chester Sewall returned home at the usual hour for finding his friend there on the day of John La- tham's hurricd departure for the south- west, the busy young lawyer was in Harlem. The loneliness and quiet of the room were unendurable to a man whose distress and anxiety had wrought his nerves to the highest tension, and Ches- ter went out again to walk, not with the object of going anywhere, but just to walk-until he should have tired himself out and might hope to sleep. By the time he revisited the room his friend was half way across the state of New © Jersey and goingrapidly. From the cen- tral gas fixture in the main room de- pended by a string a card upon which was written : DEAr CimEr-Have to go away. Don't expect me until you see me. Good luck to yamJYours, OHXN. The fider stared at the writing in dismay. He could hardly have imagined any- | thing else that would have seemed so disastrous at this particular juncture as John's departure. Weary in body, sore in spirit, on the very verge of despair, he had come home countizg upon re- ceiving from his friend consolation, en- couragement, advice, perhaps even ma- terial aid. He felt as he fancied a man might feel who stood alone upon a mere foothold of sand in midocean and knew that the last ship by which he might have been saved had sailed away from him in the night. That stock, in defiance of all possibil- ity, had gone on falling. It was a mon- strous and, as it seemed to him, an un- heard of thing that it should so persist ently go dowi1 when everybody said it ought to go up, but.it had done so un- til the wiseacres gravely shook their heads and said there was no knowing As he sat alone before John's fire. where it would stop now. 'The busi- ness relations between him and his broker were upon the same footing again as when he had borrowed $1,000 to protect his margin a couple of days before. Once more he was about to be sold out. Whether he wanted to enlarge his debt to John in order to risk more or not he had not determined. It was a question he had proposed to leave to John, who had unconsciously settled it by going away. to While waiting and watching the \'ticker'\ that afternoon, with the gam- - the - unimpressive \just now fluctuations of a peculiarly lively wild- cat mining stock, concerning which he. _. \ knew absolutely nothing... It was not so much the prospect of the possible petty\ gain that tempted him- as the ‘ideafll‘le' suddenly conceived that his luck in that small venture would forecast the | - fate awaiting his larger interests, which was still in the balance. It was only a: $10 note anyway, too small a sum to be of any practical use. . He lost, and. accepting the augury was not surprised. when he saw recorded \on the tape\ a further fall of the stock to which he had clung with such fatal persistence, one that \wiped out\ his margin. ~He was utterly ruined. As he sat alone before John's fire, - turning these things over in his mind, it was a singular fact that he felt a pe- © culiarly keen regret for the $10 thrown: | away in the \'bucket shop.\. The thou- sands he had risked. and lost were sim- ply \capital an abstract element in' business transactions, that had never. materialized to his sight in the form of bank notes, having always appeared in. guise of certified! checks.. But the $10 note was a familiar and comprehensible thing of accurately measurable value. It would have bought 20 frugal meals. By the way, how mucis did. he actzally have lefé for the pur-. chase of food? A very serious question. He set himself at once to ransacking: his pockets.. Dimes were things for Thanksgiving; nickels, cbjects of inter est; penmics, not to be: despised... How he lamented now the loss of his good §10¢ note! But while he was prosecuting this: search something was brought to light that gave anew direction to his thoughts:, and caused a new trouble to loom yp before him. It was an envelope that he recognized at once as containing tickets of admission to the opera the next even- . ing. He had procured them a week be- fore, Irma having expressed. a degire to witness the representation of \Lohen- grin,'' announced for that date, but his business troubles had driven the fact from his memory for three or four days past. * (To be Continfied.) % .
