The Curio Fiend.
BY KENNETT HARRIS.
(Copyright, 1803. by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
It was crudely observed by Hol
lister's friends that his apartments
looked like a junk shop. This was not
an accurate description, for you will
hardly find rare old Chinese and In
dian Ivories, Japanese bronzes of an
cient dynasties, Roman and Egyptian
signets and the rarest and most bi
zarre of old pottery in such profusion
In junk shops, though such things are
to be discovered there occasionally.
In the fond hope of such treasure
trove Hollister spent much of his leis
ure time In junk shops and such
places, to the neglect of his social ob
ligations, for he was a collector to the
point of mania, though a comparative
ly young man—not much over thirty—
ind It has been observed that there
ire few collectors under fifty years of
age.
At thirty a man usually has the
more ordinary Interests of love, friend
ship, money-making and so on. It is
only, as a rule, when these are out
worn, or missed by some decree of
fate, that he becomes seriously and
earnestly a lover of curios. Yet, though
Hollister was young, fairly well off,
in good health, not 111-looking for a
man, and unembittered by any experi
ence, he was as ardent and absorbed
In his curio gathering as any withered
and jaundiced old connoisseur thatever
delved In rubbish for mislaid trophies
of art
ui course tne people wno were in
terested In him would remonstrate
with him concerning his passion.
Elderly friends of his family would
tell him that he ought to have some
more serious object in life than the
accumulation of trash. Younger men
friends, who considered him odd, but
a devilish good fellow, tried to lure
him Into their particular parks of
pleasure, but he laughed at them all.
Especially he laughed when Blnney,
whose cards had been out about a
month, earnestly recommended him to
marry and settle down.
“I know that you are perfectly sin
cere, old man," be said. "You think
It's all right, naturally. But do you
think that any domestic bliss could ap
proach what I get out of all this?
Every little thing my eyes rest on
as I sit hore is a jov. If It Isn't a
thing of beauty, It’s something J.ist
as good, and Its presence Is the reward
of a triumph. It doesn't worry me or
bore me. If I want feminine conver
sation and feminine society I can go
out and get It. I can generally get
enough in a very little while to last
me a very long time. Imagire a wom
an In here! Look at that /enetlan
vase. That's all the woman I want.
If I had never done anything else In
my life but rescue that from obscurity
and destruction, I should merit the
eternal gratitude of posterior. Bln
ney, that vase Is more to me tnan your
wife Is to you.”
"Oh, you’re a fool!” said Blnney, In
tones of deep disgust.
But the vase really was a treasure.
Of Venotlan glass, It represented the
$ret temptation. An Eve, half em
bracing the trunk of the Tree of
Knowledge, whose foliage enclosed the
cup, stretched one rounded arm up
ward to the pendant fruit, while the
serpent, twined among the branches,
regarded her with malign satisfaction.
Tb,e exquisitely formed nude body of
the woman radiated delicate pink tints
through Its semi-transparency so that
it seemed to glow with life and
warmth, and the gleaming bronze-gold
of her hair, the dainty grace of her
pose, the Iridescent glitter of the ser
pent's scales—the entre form, expres
sion, colors and composition made
such a whole as only a poet, artist and
master craftsman could have pro
duced, and that as the crowning work
of a lifetime.
‘To every man upon this earth
Death cometh, soon or late.” So does
the woman who exercises some sort of
a powerful Influence over his life. She
came to Hollister In a brass shop in
the Ghetto, where he was bargaining
with the proprietress for a candlestick
that he did not want to cover his
anxiety over an ancient ewer from
Nuremburg that he did want very
"Why, this Is Mr. Hollister, Isn’t It?”
much. He had just concluded his pur
chase to bis entire satisfaction when
a woman’s voice said, in a sweet tone
of surprise, "Why, this is Mr. Hollis
ter, isn’t It?"
He turned and recognized Miss Mary
Barth, a young society woman of his
acquaintance, whom he had met a
score of times before without noticing
particularly. Now, however, probably
because of the unexpectedness of the
meeting in the odd surroundings, he
regarded her with a mild interest, and
it struck him that she was unusually
pretty and graceful and had a smile
that would have made her seem pretty
iven If her features had been nothing
«
| to Ua-t of. Sl:e was will- a party of
three or four friends who were tour
; ng the Ghetto, she explained, and she
'terself wished to buy a Russian sa
novar. She Introduced Hollister to
he party with an air of triumph. “He
s a collector and knows everything
ibout brass and china and things of
hat sort,” she said; "every stamp and
'ate and name you can ‘imagine.’ ”
“That spoils this place for me,”
-hought Hollister with some resent
ment, as the proprietress gave a start
of surprise and looked at him keenly.
But he made himself agreeable, never
theless, and helped with the purchases.
And when, at parting. Miss Earth re
minded him that he owed her mother
a call that was almost past due, and
gave him a slight, friendly pressure of
her little hand, be felt—well, he did
not know exactly how he did feci.
But he made the call, and he found
the young lady so bright and lively,
and the people so generally pleasant,
that he soon made another, and then
another. Then he gave a little theater
party and supper, and Mrs. Barth and
Miss Barth were among his guests, not
long after which he wa3 invited to
dinner and found a callow youth
named Symes, who, by the w-ay, was
ratuer attentive to Miss Mary, onu of
the most disgusting specimens of hu
manity he had ever encountered.
As his women friends had been very
a
8ha stretched out her hand to take It.
few, it was quite natural that he
should think of Miss Barth more or
less. He had, to tell the truth, rather
analyzed her. She was amiable,
though with a pretty Bplrit of her
own. Clever in many ways and well
read. He liked to talk with her, for
she was sympathetic and had the rare
and precious g.it of a sense cf humor.
Yes, he liked her better, perhaps, than
any girl he had ever met—but—and
that was a serious matter—she had
absolutely no appreciation of china
beyond mere prettiness, and she was
shockingly indifferent to intaglios and
ivories and bronzes.
"No,” he said to himself, "it would
never do—never In the world.”
But it showed that at least he had
considered it.
Nevertheless he continued his visits,
and his liking for her did not dimin
ish. Once or twice he found the man
named Symes there, and on those oc
casions he went away feeling vaguely
depressed. At last he invited Mrs,
Barth and her daughter to Inspect his
curios, and they came.
It would be hard to say just how
many times Hollister was chilled and
disappointr . b- he girl’s attitude to
ward his treasures. On the other hand,
it may be said, it would be hard to
say how often he experienced differ
ent emotions altogether. But he had
kept back until .he last the Venetian
vase. He bankea on that.
“Now come over here,” he said. "If
you don’t like this-!” and he
showed it to her.
Genuine admiration sparkled in her
eye. “Oh!” she gasped. "That is love
ly!"
She stretched out her hand to take
it. in much the attitude of the Eve,
and in that instant her foot slipped on
the-rug that covered the polished floor.
There was a slight crash, a musical
jingle and the vase lay shattered in a
thousand fragments.
For the smallest possible space of
time Hr.lister’s face changed. Then
in pwfectly even tones he said, as she
Involuntarily stooped, "Take care! The
glass might cut you.” Then he add
ed, meeting her dismayed look with
a reassuring smile, “It’s nothing. It
was a pretty thing, but I’ve lots of
pretty things, though I really don't
believe you think so. Please don’t feel
badly about it or I shall be sorry in
deed.”
Two Cays later Hollister was in the
Barth parlor, and Mary came te him.
holding out her hands impulsively and
with actual tears in hor eyes.
“Oh, Mr. Hollister!” she cried, “I
want to tell you. That vase—I saw
Mr. Binney yesterday and he told mo
that vo believed It was dearer to you
than anything you had. And I broke
It! And you were so kind and good
about it! I can’t begin to tell you
how i feel. I-”
He took her hands in his and drew
her gently toward him. “Let me tell
■ ou something,” he said in a voice
hat shook slightly. "It was a thing
- cared for—perhaps as Binney said.
3ut when it smashed I give you my
word I did not feel a pang. Do you
know why that was?”
She was rosy red and her bosom
-ose and fell quickly. “No,” Bbe re
plied.
“It was because I knew then what
vas the dearest thing on earth to me—
vhat made everything seem small and
rivial in comparison. You are all I
•are for In the world, darling. Can
ou care for me?”
And the look that she gave him then
was answer enough.
HOW HE SHOWED JUDGMENT.
Successful Man Realized Inability to
Make Accurate Forecast.
This irom a man of success: “My
business requires as much decision as
picking winners on a racetracsc or
buying stocks in Wall street I mean
that Judgment is required. I have to
figure out in my own mind in my own
way what to do in order to accom
plish a certain purpose. Long ago I
recognized fully that only 7 per cent
of the human race is successful in
following its own Judgment. Just
think: Out of 100 good men, of aver
age brains, 93 go wrong In following
their Judgment and 7 go right. Well,
I agreed with myself that I should be
one of the 93, so, after diligently
working out a plan of action and cast
ing my vote one way, I always did
the opposite. If I figure out to-day
that steel Is going down I buy some
of it, coppering my Judgment. In that
way I have achieved success that to
some may seem marvelous. I am com
plimented on my judgment, whereas
In truth I am coppering myself every
moment of my life.” That’s where he
shows judgment.—New York Press.
HE HAD USED MORE.
Soldier Explains Lack of Soap to Dis
comfited Sergeant.
It was kit Inspection, and the dif
ferent companies of the battalion were
standing with their kits on the ground
in front of them. The sergeanbmajor
was making the examination, when
his eagle eye detected the absence of
soap in the kit of Private Flinn, and
he demanded what excuse the man
had to give.
“Plaze, sorr, it’s all used,” said
Flinn.
"Used!” shouted the sergeant-ma
jor. “Why, the first cake of soap I
had served me for my kit lasted me
three years, while you are not a year
in the rankB yet. How do you account
for that?”
Flinn*8 eye had the faintest suspi
cion of a twinkle, as he replied:
“Plaze, sorr, I wash every day.”
And the sergeant-major walked on,
while the entire company grinned.—
London Tit-Bits.
AGREED ON THEIR VERDICT.
Jurymen Had Made Up Their Minds,
and So Affirmed.
At Fort Scott (Kan.) the other day
a jury In the District court returned
a verdict finding a certain accused
person guilty of larceny. The verdict
had not been prepared in the tech
nical form desired and the judge sent
the Jury back to make the necessary
corrections. The jury was gone for
half an hour, and when it returned it
brought in a verdict acquitting the
prisoner. But a verdict even more
amusing was perpetrated by a jury at
Pittsburg. The case wa3 a criminal
one, and after a few minutes’ consul
tation the jury filed into the box from
its room. “Have you agreed upon a
verdict?” asked the judge. “We have.”
responded the foreman, passing it
over. "The clerk will read,’ said the
judge. And the clerk read, "We, your
jury, agree to disagree.”
Couldn't Be Very Sure.
The recent St. Andrew’s dinners, ac
cording to the Westminster Gazette,
have been noteworthy for the profu
sion of Scotch stories, which in sev
eral cases fairly set the tables in a
roar. Some of them have an ancient
ring, but there is one that is perhaps
not generally known. A doctor was
attending a dangerous case where a
Scotch butler was engaged. On calling
in the forenoon he said to Donald: “I
hope your master’s temperature is
much lower to-day than it was last
night.” “I’m no’ sae very sure about
that,” replied the butler, “for he dee’d
this morning.”
Old-Time Stocks in England.
A recent wish expressed by a mag
istrate at Stratford, England, that cer
tain prisoners could be punished by
confinement in the stocks recall% the
fact that some of those instruments
of punishment still exist in that coun
try. There is one at Havering-atte
Bower, not many miles from Strat
ford, and another is to be found on
the village green of Aldbury. Near
the church at Brant Pelham is a rath
er notable example. The upright post
was used as a whipping post and still
retains the iron by which the culprit
was secured while receiving his cas
tigation. Sturry, near Canterbury, has
also preserved its stocks.
Crown Owns Valuable Lands.
Among the great ground landlords
In London the cro^ a Is one of the
greatest, owning properties in various
parts of the capital yielding in ground
rents £100,000 per annum. Fifteen
years ago the estates produced £250,
000 only; but many leases haye fallen
in within that time, and the increased
ients have been exacted for renewal
fines or for new leases. The Carlton
hotel is a striking instance of the in
creased value of ground in London.
Formerly the site on which the hotel
stands was held for the crown for a
ground rent of £763 per annum; now
£4,200 yearly has to be paid.
Strawberries Grown by Gas.
The remarkable gas "electroid,” for
which its inventor, Prof. Rychnowski,
claims that it can be condensed into
greenish-blue balls, which are elastic
like India rubber, would apparently
be the very thing for automobile tires.
The gas is self-luminous, and lamps
would, therefore, be unnecessary at
night, while in its genial rays vegeta
tion sprouts surprisingly. To run
through country lanes in winter, leav
ing ripe strawberries on the banks in
1 one’s wake, would be a pleasing ex
! pcrlence. The automobllist would be
' weioocne everywhere.
PROFIT
The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
Scott’s Emulsion is a mixed
ood; the Cod Liver Oil in it
lakes flesh, blood and muscle,
he Lime and Soda make bone
.nd brain. It is the standard
eientific food for delicate
.hildren.
