The head of the conspiracy was the vice-president of the company, who posed as one of his chief's most loyal friends. Secretly, however, he was organizing certain dissatisfied stockholders, and expected that he would succeed to the place of his superior. A day or two before the annual meeting, the president was stricken at his summer home. He confidently sent for the vice-president, gave him the proxies for his stock, and believed that everything would be clear sailing. Then the conspirator went away, not one of his allies, boastingly told him of his success. Fortunately for the sick man, his daughter gained wind of the plot, and took steps to defeat it. She induced her father to give her a new proxy, and started for the mainland. She missed the ferryboat and boldly took a neighbor's yacht and ran it across the bay. She arrived at the mainland too late to catch the last train, but she commandeered an automobile, and by a wild ride was able to reach the board room in time to save her father. Written by
