THE STORY f Gordon Carbhoy, son of James Carbhoy, an imposing figure in the financial world, has recently graduated from an Eastern university, and enters his father's office as private secretary. The young man develops spendthrift tendencies, and his father, feeling called upon to remonstrate, tells the boy firmly, but kindly, that eventually he is to succeed to the management of his father's railroads, and that an abrupt termination of his wasteful habits is desirable----yes, necessary. The son, in all the confidence and enthusiasm of sehen asserts that already he has acquired sufficient knowledge of the rules of Big Business to conduct his father's affairs successfully; that if he had five thousand dollars he could run it into a hundred thousand in six months. It is largely a bluff on the part of. the young fellow----and his father accepts it as such. 18
