In ten minutes u quick hansom ile
posited me at Uiedoorof the million
aire llnaucier. 1 knew John Burt
very well by repute. Mr. Burt was
a self made man, and he had made
himself—so it was w hisjMTed in the
went end and freely limited about
in thecity —to a great extent at other
people'd exjiense, In early life he
had gone out to Asia Minor, w here,
after working in nn oil factory for
years, lie had taken to jirosp I'tuig
for oil on In* own account Itiglit
and left he "struck" it. but being a
shrewd man. I" swsmm1 of enough
techn'cal knowledge to be aware that
the minenil find often dries up as
rapidly as it w found, he did not run
his oil well himself

Thtjrfhort, pursy, warm looking
\ who rose to greet me was
k . ju* "~TV>ugli. 1 had seen John
Burt many tlbx-ji and in many places,
but 1 never saw Tiim looking quite
as Ito looked today. His usually
florid complexion was mottled and
flabby, and his haggard eyes Bug
(wted u series of sleepless nights.
"Sit down, Mr. 2Sambrat, sit down,"
ho haul in u volet, which trembled
with nervous excitement "1 am
pleastHl to uiake your acquaintance,
apart from the matter in hand. Tell
me," he went on with sintiling
promptness, "do you believe in
thought rending("
"If your question has nny bearing
on tho business upon which you wish
mo to advise you it would lie better
if you gave me the (larticulars first,"
1 said.
"Perhaps you uro right," he re
plied. "Well, it is like this: As you
are aware, 1 am largely interested in
a uumlier of oil companies carrying
on operations in Asiatic Turkey. 1
make u good deal of money by buy-
ing and Helling tho shares of thesu
companies in a speculative way for
tho riso or fall. For instance, if I
got a cable from one of my local
managers to tho effect that a good
output may lio expected for a certain
company, 1 buy those shares on the
stock exchange. If. on thu other
hand. 1 bear that a |ssir return is to
follow by next inail. I sell the shares
instead. You follow mo so far?"
"Perfectly."
"Well, tho trouble about which 1
want to consult you is this: For thu
lust two months my private infonna

myself baa oeeu largely discounted—

"My daughter is a great believer
in it," began Mr. Burt. "Slio is a fa
natic on the subject, though there it
perhaps a reason."
"Miss Burt is iu thu alitor office
sir, and wishes Jo see you."
"Show her in," Buid the financier;
then turning to me ho whisjiered
hurriedly . 'Not a word of your er

There was a light steji and tho nis

tall girl of twenty entered The mil
liouairu's daughter had fine eyes and
pretty chestnut hair, hut her inannei
was rathei lioisterous nervously so

"Now, jutpa," she began, without
so much as Is'stowing a glance on
me, "put away all that horrid work

"Impossible, my dear child," re
plied Mr Hurt "I have lie.ips to d<

"And it will last?"
"A couple of hours at least "
"Ah! It'* no use my waiting for

When 1 reentered the private

brought with tin it small photo

It was tasliioueil iu the fonu
