"If you did" "Yes.

I know the answer, but speak softly, hli majesty the king approaches lona: iive the king!" Bivens 3poke in low, half joking tones, but the excitement of his voice told Sruart only too plainly that he fully appreciated the royal honor his majesty was paying in this the, first social visit he had ever made to his home. The king gave him a pleasant nod and grasped Stuart's hand with a hearty cordial grip. He was a man of few word3, btit he always said exactly what he thought. "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Stuart.

You've done us a good turn in sending some of our crooks to the penitentiary. You've cleared the air and made it possible for an old fashioned banker to breathe in New York. It's a pleasure to shake hands with you." The king passed on into the crowd, the focus of a hundred admiring eyes. Bivens could scarcely believe his ears when he listened with open mouth while his majesty spoke to Stuart. "Great Scott, Jim!" he gasped at last.

"That's the longest speech I ever heard him make. I knew you had scored the biggest hit any lawyer has made in this town In a generation, but I never dreamed you'd capture the king's imagination. I'm beginning to think my offer wasn't so generous after all. Look here, you've got to promise me one thing right now. When you do go in to make your pile it shall be with me and no other man." Nan passed and threw him a gracious smile.

"It will be with you if I go, Cal, I promise. At least the king is one exception to your indictment of all great fortunes." "That's the funniest thing of Bivens whispered. "He's not an exception. Understand, I'm loyal to the king. He's a wonder.

I like him. I like his big head, his big shaggy eyebrows, his big hands and big feet. I like to hear him growl and snap his answer 'No' that means life or death to men who kneel at his feet. He's a dead game sport. But he, too, has his little blqts in his early copybooks at school if you care to turn the pages." "No!" Stuart interrupted incredulously.

"Yes, sir; ho turned the slickest trick on Uncle Sam of all the bunch. He was a youngster, and It was his first deal. When the civil war broke out the government had no guns for the volunteers. He learned that there were 5,000 old Hall carbines stored away among the junk in one of the national arsenals in New York. He bought these guns (on a credit) for a song, about $3 apiece, and shipped them to General Fremont, who was in St.

Louis howling for arms. Fremont agreed to pay $22.50 each for the new rifles and closed the deal at once by drawing on the government for enough to enable the young buccaneer to pay his three dollar contract price to Uncle Sam in New York and lay aside a snug sum for a rainy day besides. "When Fremont found that the guns were worthless he advised the government to stop pavment on the bal- fair to be Held inSebriHf's Auditorium, Nov. 25 30 Fine Prizes are Ollered The managers of the New Jersey Associatoin for Poultry Improvement are working for the great show which will be held in Sebriag's auditorium, Front street, this city, November 25 to 30.

1911. (Continued from Yesterday) "When "he should see Tim personally it would be but a question of five minutes friendly talk and the matter would be ended. Now that he recalled little traits of Bivens' character he didn't seem such a scoundrel after all, just the average money mad man who could see but one side of life. He would remind him in a friendly way of their early association and the help he had given him at an hour of his life when he needed it' most. He wouldn't cringe or plead.

lie would state the whole situation frankly and truthfully and with dignity propose a settlement. It was just at this moment that the "Mr. Bivens is engaged for every hour today." doctor learned of the preparations for the dinner and ball at the Bivens palace on Riverside drive. The solution of the whole problem flashed through his mind in an instant They would Lave professional singers without a doubt, the erpat nnprnric stars and oth- ers. If Harriet could onlv be nlaced on the program for a single song it would be settled.

Her voice would sweep Eivens off his feet and charm the brilliant throng of guests. He would have to accompany her there, of course. At the right moment he would make himself known. A word with Bivens and it would be settled. He lost no time in finding out the manager of the professional singers for the evening and through Harriet's enthusiastic music teachers arranged for her appearance.

He rejoiced again that he had made up his mind to live the life of faith and good fellowship with all men. including the little swarthy master of the palace he was about to enter. And so with light heart he stepped through the floor which the soft white hand of death opened.

How could he know? As Stuart dressed for Nan's nnrtv he brooded over his new relation to his old sweetheart with increasing pleas ure. Xever had Bivens' offer seemed i more generous and wonderful. His Pulse beat with quickened stroke as he felt the new sense of power with which he would look out on the world a possible millionaire. He gazed over the old square with feeling of regret at the thought of leaving it.

He sued the United States government for the full amount and pushed that suit to the supreme court. In the face of the sneers of his enemies he won and took the full amount with interest. He's the king today because he was born a king. His father was a millionaire before him. He's the greatest financial genius of the century-" Bivens paused and a dreamy look came into the black eyes.

"Jim," he continued with slow emphasis, rl'd rather get my fingers on his throat in a death struggle than lead the combinea armies of the world to victory." Stuart was silent The soft tones of hidden oriental gongs began to chime the call for dinner. The chimes melted Into a beautiful piece of orchestral music which seemed to steal from the sky, so skillfully had the musicians been concealed. Nan suddenly appeared by Stuart's side, and he was given the honor of leading his hostess into the banquet hall before even the king, while the great ones of earth slowly followed. CHAPTER XV. Ths Dance of Doath.

A FLUSH of excited pleasure overspread Stuart's face as he led his beautiful hostess to the dining room. Apparently on entering the banquet hall they were stepping outdoors into an enchanted pine forest The walls were completely hidden by painted scenery representing the mountains of western North Carolina. The room had been transformed into a forest, trees and shrubbery melting imperceptibly into the scenery on the walls and mocking birds were singing in cages hidden high among the boughs of the trees. "Why, Nan," Stuart gasped, "that's a view of the river hills at home where you and I used- to roam." "Well, if you hadn't recognized it, I should never have forgiven you. Are you pleased with my fantasy?" "Fleased is not the word for It," he replied quickly.

"I'm overwhelmed. I never thought you so sentimental." "Perhaps I'm not; perhaps I've only done this to please a friend. Do you begin to feel at home in this little spot I've brought back by magic tonight from our youth?" "I'm afraid I'll wake up and find I'm dreaming." Stuart gazed with increasing astonish, ment at the magnificently set table. Winding in and out among the solid silver candelabra a tiny stream of crystal water flowed among miniature trees and flowers on its banks. The flowers were all blooming orchids of rarest coloring and weirdly fantastic shapes.

There were some features of Bivens' business he must onderstand more clearly before he could give up his freedom and devote himself body and soul to the task of money making as his associate. He went across the square to take a cab at the Brevoort. His mood was buoyant lie was looking out on life once more through rose tinted glasses. At Eighth street he met at right angles the swarming thousands hurrying across town from their work heavy looking men who tramped with tired step, striking the pavements dully with their nailed shoes, tired, anxious women, frowzy headed little girls, sad eyed boys, half awake all hurrying, the fear of want and the horror of charity in their siVnt faces. And yet the sight touched no responsive chord of sympathy in Stuart's heart as it often had.

As he drove uptown the avenue flashed with swift, silent automobiles and blooded horses. These uptown crowds through whose rushing streams he passed were all well dressed and carried bundles of candy, flowers and toys. Stuart felt the contagious enthusiasm of thousands of prosperous men and women whose lives at the moment flowed about and enveloped his own. "What was it that made the difference between the squalid atmosphere below Fourth street and the glowing, flashing, radiant, jeweled world uptown? Money! It meant purple and fine linen, delicacies of food and drink, pulsing machines that could make a mile a minute, the mountain and the sea, freedom from care, fear, drudgery and slavery! After all in this modern passion for money might there not be something deeper than mere greed, perhaps the regenerating power of the spirit pressing man upward? Certainly he could see only the bright side of it tonight. As his cab swung into Riverside drive from Seventy-second street the sight which greeted him was one of startling splendor.

Bivens' yacht lay at ancbor in the river just in front of his house. She was festooned with electric lights from the water line to the top of her towering steel masts. The illumination of the exterior of the Bivens house was remarkable. The stone and iron fence surrounding the block, which had been built at a cost of a hundred thousand dollars, was literally ablaze with lights. The house was illumined from its foundations to the top of each towering minaret with ruby colored lights.

Stuart passed up the grand stairs through a row of gorgeous flunkies and greeted his hostess. Nan grasped his hand with a smile of joy. "You are to lead me in to dinner, Jim, at the stroke of 8." "I'll not forget," Stuart answered, his face flushing with surprise at the unexpected honor. "Cal wishes to see you at once. You will find him in the library." Bivens met him at the door.

"Ah, there you are!" he cried cordially. "Come back downstairs with me. I want you to see some people as they come in tonight. I've a lot of funny things to tell you about them." The house was crowded with an army of servants, attendants, musicians, singers, entertainers and reporters. The doctor had been recognized by one of the butlers whom he had befriended on his arrival from the Old World.

The grateful fellow had gone out of the way to make him at home, and in his enthusiasm bad jut an alcove which opened off the ball room at his and Harriet's disposal. The doctor was elated at this evidence of Bivens' good feeling and again congratulated himself on his common sense in corning. Bivens led Stuart to position near the grand stairway, from which he could greet his guests as they returned from their formal presentation to the hostess. He kept up a running lire of biographical comment which amused Ituart beyond measure. It was a revelation of the crooked ways in which Bivens guests or their fathers or grandfathers had amassed their millions, many of them by robbing the government, the people.
