Henry Lyons was one of the country's greatest men of business. When he beckoned with his finger, presidents of banks and railroads listened attentively to the words which were to follow, and when he clenched his fist, it frequently happened that millions changed hands slightly afterwards. Mrs. Lyons, his wife, was one of the leaders in the smart set. Her gowns, her diamonds, her dinners, were heralded throughout the country, from Eastport to San Diego. One day, it happened that she wanted a necklace, a necklace of pink pearls. So she asked her husband for it. Mr. Lyons shrugged his shoulders. A necklace of the sort his wife wanted would cost $80,000, and though that was relatively nothing, it seemed to him that she was a little extravagant. Couldn't she wait till Christmas? Pretty Mrs. Lyons stamped her foot with impatience, "How stupid," she said, "Can't you make the market do something or other, and get it for me that way?" Lyons looked a little serious. Then he nodded. "All right, my dear," he said, "You shall have it." Now Mr. Lyons knew that a certain railroad was not going to pay its dividend, and he knew just when the news was going to leak out, so, through his agents, he bought the stock of that road until it crept up, and up, and up to where it had never been before. Then slowly and quietly, he began to sell to the eager market. First in 500 share lots, then in 1,000, then in 3,000, then he flung his entire holdings on the market and sold many thousands of shares short. Just at that minute, the news came out, the market crashed down to the bottom, Mr. Lyons raked in his profits, and bought the necklace. Mrs. Lyons was giving a magnificent dance when a poor woman came and asked to see her. The poor woman's entire savings, together with the savings of thousands of others, had been wiped out in the crash. Why had it happened? To buy her a pearl necklace. With sudden horror, the woman realized what it cost the world to keep her in luxury, and silently she promised herself that her future life should he spent in the attempt to make amends.
