• Chapter 14 –Fred Proposes to Callie.

The old man turned his eyes toward Fred. They seemed to pop out of his head for the maniac was choking him. He let go the old man's throat, and a dozen brokers ran in to separate them and quell the row. Gaines had not been to the office since his row with Broker Keeley. The clerk who is running the office insulted her and she wants to leave.

What did you tell Callie? The day after the two boys met the girls in a restaurant, and Callie told Fred of a tip she had come across. It was Pacific Mail, and it was going to be cornered. Fred and Bob came away from the restaurant with the two girls, going toward Wall Street. Fred asked Callie several questions about the deal she had mentioned. She says she'll make notes and give 'em to me. She let it out by saying if she had any money laid up she could make a pile out of Pacific Mail.

I soon got the whole thing out of her. It was a little after three o'clock when Fred saw her come out of the bank. He went to meet her, and she said to him:. You won't tell any one that I told you? She lived over on the west side, and had a widowed mother and little brother to support. He walked nearly all the way home with her. Bob went uptown with Gertie Clayton, and did not see Fred again till the next morning. Pacific Mail was going that morning at Fred went to Tabor and asked him to buy Pacific Mail on 10 per cent margin.

Tabor gave a start, looked keenly at him for a moment, and then asked:. He went over to Bowles' office, and arranged with the old man to buy for him shares at The old broker had the shares bought inside of ten minutes. By twelve o'clock Fred saw Bryant buying all that he could get hold of, but there were thousands and thousands of shares on the market, and he had bought 10, ere there was any signs of life in the deal.

Then it began slowly to advance. It closed with an advance of one point on the first day. But the next day saw it go up three points, and the brokers in the Exchange began to hustle. It was an immense concern and the shares were in every broker's hands.

But Bryant gathered them in by the thousand at a time. On the third day it was up to sixty, and Fred met Callie at lunch to tell her she had got the thing down fine.

I saw him nearly choked to death by that fellow who lost his head. If I had not interfered he'd have been killed. His niece, Miss Eva Gaines, called at the office and spoke to me about it. Why, he might give you a gold watch or something. Who knows?

They left the little restaurant together and did not meet again till the same hour the next day. Then Pacific Mail was going at 66 and the brokers were again in a furor. Coming so soon after the panic caused by the corner in B. On returning home from lunch Fred found the excitement in the Exchange greater than ever, the shares had bounded up to He went to the office and found Tracey out. He looked about among the brokers, but failed to find him.

Meeting Bob, he told him Tracey wanted to see Manson. Manson arose, put on his hat and went out. Fred followed him, and both were soon in the midst of the frantic mob of brokers again. Bryant was the coolest man in the whole crowd. He knew what he was there for and kept taking all the shares that were offered him. Fred saw Manson and Tracey meet and go under the gallery for a few moments' consultation.

He kept an eye on them, for he was not sure of their connection with the P. By and by they went out and he followed. In the crowd on the street he lost sight of them. Then he went back to the office and told the head clerk. The broker came back a few minutes before the Exchange closed and sent Fred to the bank with a big check to deposit. After depositing the check he turned to look into the president's room.

Barron was out, but he saw through the glass door that Callie was idle. She caught his eye and came out to speak to him. Barron told a man just now that he thought P.

I didn't expect you to do otherwise. Did you put up as much as fifty dollars? You promised me ten per cent, for the tip, mind you. When Fred returned to the office the Exchange had closed for the day. Pacific Mail closed at Bob met him at the foot of the stairs, grasped his hand and said:. They went home and spent the evening together making calculations. Adah wanted to know why they were making such a lot of figures, and Bob said to her:. The next day they found that the shares opened at 79—two hours later they were going at Fred hastened to Bowles' office and told him to sell.

Manson sent Bob to Bryant with a note.

Somebody had just dumped 3, shares on the big broker and he was in a bad humor when Bob came to him with the note. He looked down and saw who it was—the boy who had gotten the situation for his typewriter—and quick as a flash he gave him a kick that sent him sprawling on the floor. Bob had the note still in his hand when he scrambled to his feet again. But he did not deliver it. He staggered out of the Exchange, feeling sick from the effects of the blow, and made his way back to the office, where he told Mr.

Manson what had happened. It was no accident," said Bob. The girl is in Bowles' office, and she'll tell you the same thing. I am going to have him arrested. Manson was surprised at Bob's spunk. He looked at him in silence for a minute or two and then said:. Bryant was at his desk.

I felt some one pulling my coat-tail and kicked out. It was no time for fooling. You know, somebody is always fooling over there? You looked down in my face, saw who it was and then kicked me. Bryant was so astounded at being given the lie so bluntly he sat still and heard Bob through without uttering a word; then he looked up at Manson and said:. Your cheek drove your typewriter out of your office.

I got a place for her, and you had the cheek to go to her new place and raise a row. That is what you kicked me for.

Two members of the Exchange told me to prosecute you and call them as witnesses—Mr. Turner and Mr.

Bryant turned white as a sheet. Those two brokers were his bitterest enemies. They stood high, and their evidence would down him. I tell you—". Bryant was cool, pale, and yet in a rage. He saw that he was in a serious scrape, and Bob, though a boy, was game all through. We can settle it ourselves, I think, Just tell me what you want me to do.
