Fine Y. M. C. A. Building Planned.
A Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion building that cost to build and
equip more than a million dollars is
to be opened in Philadelphia this fall,
with Walter M. Wood of Chicago in
charge as secretary. An effort is to be
made to recruit the membership to
4,000, so that the largest possible
number of boys may have the bene
fits of the new structure. Philadel
phians are proudly pointing to the
eight-story building in Arch street as
one of the three finest Young Men’s
Christian Association homes in the
world, the other two being the
Twenty-third street branch, in New
York, and the central building in Chi
cago.
Progress.
“Yes," said Mrs. Malaprop, “my
boy is doing first-rate at school. I
sent him to one o' them alimentary
schools, and his teacher says he's do
ing fine. He’s a first-class sculler,
they tell me, and is head of his class
in gastronomy, knows his letters by
sight, and can spell like one o’ these
deformed spellers down to Washing
ton.”
“What's he going to be when he
grows up?”
“He wants to be an undertaker, and
I’m declined to humor him, so I’ve told
the confessor to pay special intention
to the dead languages,” said the proud
mother.—Harper’s.
European News Disseminators.
A French statistician calculates that
there is one newspaper published for
every 82,000 inhabitants of the known
world. In Europe, Germany heads the
list with 5,500 newspapers, of which
800 are published daily. England
comes next. 3,000 newspapers, of
which 809 are "dailies,” and then
comes France, with 2,819 newspapers,
of which only one-fourth are daily or
published twice or thrice a week. Italy
comes fourth, with 1,400 papers, and
is followed by Austria-Hungary, Spain,
Russia. Greece and Switzerland, the
last having 450 newspapers. Alto
gether, Europe has about 20,000 news
papers.
Honesty No Ear to Fortune.
It is a mistaake to think that vast
fortunes cannot be built up by honest
methods. They can and often are.
There are thousands of men among
whose riches there does not mingle
one particle of the sweat of unre
quited toil, on whose crimson plush
there is not one drop of the heart's
blood of the needlewoman, whose lofty
halls are the marble of industry, not
the sinews and bone of the toiling
masses—Dr. Madison C. Peters.

CHAPTER XXVI.
Gideon's Story.
Between the social gardens of Sac
ramento and San Francisco Amabel
fitted, gathering the honeydew she
fe upon When Esther met her she
was as gay with one cavalier as with
another, until Alfred appeared. He
was never her escort: yet if he came
to party or theater she claimed him at
once. Esther became convinced that
.he barrier that had once separated
herself from Alfred now existed be
tween him and Amabel; that for Ama
bel’s sake he insisted on her perfect
freedom in the eyes of society. This
conviction did not bring tranquillity;
and Esther asked herself bitterly, why,
In all the throng that followed her,
there was not Borne brave and honest
soul that could dislodge Alfred from
her heart. As the winter waned she
found herself very weary of the mo
notonous round, of the days and nights
that loomed before her, stretching to
blank, gray years. And when the
warm sunshine adorned the hills with
rioting bloom, more and more she
spent solitary hours on the rcad with
her smart team, her most conspicuous
extravagance.
" Valentine's day,” she mused this
morning, as she leaned out of the open
window to the brilliant, close-bending
sun of California. Fuchsia and nastur
tium vied with perfumed heliotrope
and jasmine in the long climb up the
houseside; but purple and white won
through their fragrance, and she
gathered a feathery cluster for her
belt.
She met her housekeeper in the
dining room, and looked over the at
tractive heap brought by mail and
messenger; valentines of the old lace
paper sort, hiding tiny mirrors and ar
dent poetical requests to ‘‘look on my
fair;” flowers, books, gems which she
would never accept—ail the what-not
of sentimental Valentine's day 40
years ago. One offering charmed her.
It was a golden arrow' of delicate Mex
ican filigree, light, graceful, wonder
fully brilliant, a brilliance Esther did
not at first discover as coming from
many tiny diamonds, each hardly
larger than a pinpoint, set very close
ly together.
“How exquisite!” exclaimed Mrs.
Brockett, who was friend as well as
housekeeper. “I never saw anything
like it. For your hair, isn’t it?” She
took it from Esther and shot it through
her big brown coil, the feathered end
standing high, the pointed shaft shin
ing just back of her ear. “It's the most
beautiful ornament you have. Won't
you keep it?”
“I see no way to return It," Esther
said, searching wrappers and box for
a clew to the sender. “There isn’t
a word, a letter—not even the merch
ant's name on the box. How did it
come?"
“The Chinaman said a small boy |
brought it this morning before seven j
o'clock,” Mrs. Crockett replied, as she |
left the room.
The trinkets did not interest Esther.
She took up her paper instead. At
the first glance she cried out.
"Gideon Ingram Anthony—His Ro
mance!" were the first words she saw.
She stared uncomprehendingly for a
moment, then read on feTerishly. It
was a strange tale, pieced together
from many sources, and confirmed by
appended interviews with several "old
est settlers:”
"The story of Gideon Ingram, of the
■well-known freighters. Ingram. Finn &
Gould, reads like one of Mrs. South
worth's novels; yet it is only one of
the many dramas resulting from the
clash of Latin and Anglo-Saxon in
California.
‘In the early '40s a yotng New Eng
land teach “ William Anthony by
name, aea- voyaging for his health,
dropped into Monterey out of curiosi
ty, and remained, entranced by the
climate and bewitched by a pair of
beautiful Spanish eyes. Influential
letters opened the best doors of the
capital to him; and his own fine per
sonality soon won him popularity.
Lolita, the spoiled and only child of
Senor Hernando Guerrero, heiress to
half a county and the toast of the
town, fell in love with the young Puri
tan, a love he returned as ardently as
any swain of her own people. Those
who know the Monterey of that day
say that the blood of a prairie princess
mingled with the blue Andalusian of
the Guerreros in Lolita's veins.
Whether true or not, she had the im
periousness of a dozen royal maidens;
and overriding all objections, she set
a wedding day less than two months
after the pair first met.
“Meantime the groom's brother, a
lively young officer of a Boston
merchantman, hove into port a week
before the nuptials, with a budget
of news and an appetite for diversion.
With characteristic reserve the elder
brother did not at once confide his
secret, and thereof came the mischief.
The young man was caught in the
twinkling of two eyes—Lolita's eyes—
league-ions ranchos under Mexican
rule. William Anthony came west
with the first rush, found and claimed
his nephew, mined, traded and grew
enormously wealthy; though he lived
always in the wilds, visiting cities only
as compelled.
“On the bleak side of a Washoe
mountain he built a palace, the won
der of the decade; sent for his daugh
ter, and reared the two children in
an isolated luxury that was the source
of many Aladdin-like tales. But failure
came, removal, wandering; and the
Anthonys were lost to the world that
had known them. Later the father
was killed by Indians; and the chil
dren, by this time man and woman
grown, drifted, unknown and unknow
ing, into the heedless stream of hu
manity.
"The sequel proves that William
Anthony never forgave hi3 brother;
for the boy grew up as a dependent,
called only Gideon Ingram, and never
knowing his right to his uncle's name.
Senor Guerrero died some years ago,
veiling his estate to his grandson and
providing for a search for him. Yet
It is probable he would have remained
undiscovered had not the agents pur
chasing right of way for the Southern
Pacific Railroad company needed his
j signature. His identity was discov
i ered some time ago, but his story is
j now for the first time made public.”
Here followed the Interviews.
“My cousin! Oh, he's my cousin!"
Like an open book Esther read many
things that had puzzled her—her fa
I ther's contradictions, his gloom, his
| reserves; Gideon, tender, cruel, con
I stant, vengeful; a passion, a flame;
I conquering, yet ever defeated. Poor
j Gideon!
Esther dreamed over the strange
i tale till she was reminded of her
team, waiting as she had ordered, and
i restless. “I'll drive at once,” she said.
He Was Haggard and Thin.
and by way of trading on the capital
his brother had made, told her, in the
poor Spanish he could command and
in the scant English she could compre
hend, the story of his life, home and
friends, a story that included a certain
delicate maiden, his brother's be
trothed, who embroidered intermin
ably upon her trousseau and wept be
cause her lover came not.
“The fiery beauty carried the situa
tion with a high hand. More than one
gallant Spanish dandy assisted Senor
Guerrero in escorting William An
thony out of town. And from that
hour the younger man was swept for
ward by an amorous exchantment so
adroitly exercised, so imperious, that
had his heart not acquiesced he could
hardly have escaped standing at the
altar in his brother's place and taking
to wife the woman who was to have
been his sister-in-law. The spell she
wove was deep and lasting. He loved
her, endured her hasty temper, for
gave the love she still bore his brother
(though she called it hate), and died
a heart-broken man when, two years
later, the birth of their child cost her
life. The last written word of the
young husband was a plea to his broth
er for forgiveness and a request that
Lolita's child, Gideon Ingram Anthony,
might find a second father in his uncle.
“But William Anthony, melancholy,
Resentful, was wandering over the un
peopled wastes of Alta California,
vainly , seeking relief from a sore
heart. And Gideon's grandfather, not
trying very hard, it is suspected, failed
to trace the baby's uncle. Letters from
New England found him, however;
told him that the faithful woman of his
early love was slowly fading away.
Conscience-stricken, be hastened back,
married her, tried devotedly and with
apparent success to nurse her to
health, but buried her one year after
their only child was born.”
"Oh, my poor, poor mother!” Esther
moaned. “No wonder you are so sad!”
She drew the locket from beneath her
dress and gazed a moment on the pic
tured face. Alfred's ring still hung on
the chain, and she pressed R to her i
lips before hiding It again. “Like
mother, like child!” she whispered
scornfully. “Both foolish!” With a
sigh she took up the paper and read
on: I
“Then came from Sutter's Fort the cry
of ‘Gold! gcldl'that peopled California
and swept away forever the dreamy,
pastoral days of hidalgo, fandango and
and hastily prepared, eager for the
out-of-doors, for motion.
She was taking up the reins when a
card was brought her—Gideon's. She
started back and would nut touch it,
til] penciled words caught her eye.
“Stella. I have wronged you; but if
you have read the morning paper you
know how your father wronged me.
Blood makes us cousins. I must see
you a moment, must a little atone.”
How could she see him? Yet she
must. Childhood memories, the in
justice he had suffered, his sorrows,
all pleaded for him. Yet not in the
narrow closeness of a room. It would
be easier out in the open, away from
her own house.
"Tell him I'm driving.” she said to
the maid. “Ask him to step to the
front door.”
Esther drove around the house to
find him standing, bareheaded, on the
graveled road. He was haggard and
thin, his shoulders stooped, his eyes
gloomy. His clothes were handsome
and well made; but they had a bor
rowed, misfitting look, that was piti
ful to Esther. He did net speak, but
stood waiting, slightly bent, only his
somber eyes pleading.
“Will you drive with me, Gideon?”
she asked quietly.
Without ft word he put on hla hat
and stepped In beside her, tucking thft
robe carefully about her. Every move
ment had a gentle deprecation foreign
to the Gideon she had ktiuwu.
The team was restive, the streets
crowded; and she could do no more
than drive until a mile or more of hills
had taken the first mettle out of her
horses.
When they were on the road, fol
lowing the shimmering bay shore
around Fort Point to the sea. the
plangent waves at their feet, the salt
air blowing clean upon them, the vast
farness of blue ocean sweeping away
petty thoughts, bringing eternal veri
ties—there Gideon and Esther found
a common meeting ground.
Gideon freed her from her promise
and would have explained, but she ob
jected. “It's past, Gideon. Alfred is
safe, well. Let me forget what I know,
hear no more." Her heart bounded,
yet was leaden again. Freedom had
come too late. Alfred no longer loved
her.
“Yes, one thing I would know. Did
Phineas Cadwallader have anything to
do with Alfred's—capture?"
"No.”
"What makes him hate Alfred,
then?”
“He hates him on more than one
score. Vincent knows some important
secret of his, and Vincent has also
caught Cad in one or two tricks
against the company. Cad's afraid he'll
be reported. Besides all this. Cad was
the last man seen with Vincent before
he disappeared; and if the case is ever
investigated Cad'll have hard work to
clear himself.”
“Were you—? Did any one find out
—? Why were you not arrested?”
“There was not a scrap of evidence
against me. My alibi was perfect.”
Esther was long silent. Gideca
looked out to sea, and waited.
“Have you told any one?” she asked
finally. “You—you had the thing done,
if you didn't do it yourself, didn't
you?”
“Yes. And I—I’ve told no one—must
not.”
“Must not?’” she questioned wonder
ingly. She knew he did not lack
courage.
Drag you into such a foul compli
cation—the trial, your heart's secrets
exposed, prison! To be sure, I didn't
think of that three years ago. Now
you are my cousin—my name yours—”
“But justice,” she began, as he
halted. “Ought respect for a name to
stand in the way of that?”
‘T're thought of that. But Vincent
is free, as well in health as ever; no
trouble or disgrace attaches; and he's
better off in pocket than if he had
not suffered from me, for I’ve been
able to throw a thing or two his way.
There are the lost years, and—and
you. Do you think at this late day it
would please him if I dragged your
name before the public? Wouldn't
that rather distress him ?”
“On account of his own name, per
haps; he cares nothing for mine.” She
was thinking of Amabel's face as she
had waltzed by her the night before,
looking into Alfred's eyes.
“Of course! I knew that always,”
Gideon said dully, and gazed seaward.
On the veranda of the old Cliff house
they stopped as does the tourist of to
day to watch the endless flip-flop of
wet, glistening seals clambering the
gray rocks only to drop into the sea
again. The same brilliant, limitless
panorama unfolded westward then as
to-day—beetling cliffs, the sapphire
sky, white, fantastic clouds, twin green
promontories guarding the Golden
Gate, the misty, enchanted Farallones,
the eternal roar of the surf. But na
ture then was all unsubdued.
They lingered a little, both silent,
Gideon nearer content than for years.
"Where have you been this long,
long time, Gideon?” Esther asked on
their way back to the city.
“Many places. Twice I went to
Poughkeepsie. I saw you, though you
didn't know it; saw that you were well
and happy.”
"Gideon!” Esther exclaimed, aston
ished. '
“I've gridironed Nevada and I'tah
deserts looking for gold, and for wagon
routes; and have found both. The last
few months I've spent between San
Francisco and the ranch. I’ve seen
you often, Stella.” He looked at her
wistfully.
"Seen me?”
“Yes, in theaters, on the street,
wherever society notes in the papers
gave me a clew to your goings."
“And you never came—never spoke
"No. I knew you could not marry
Vincent. He loves Charley Crocker's
niece. As long as I was silent it—it
seemed— 1 love you, Star, just the
same; no, a thousand times more!”
he went on despondently, using uncon
sciously the old familiar name. "But
you need not fear me. I shall never
trouble you after this. We re—were
cousins, yes, more like brother and
sister; and I'm unfit—” His sentence
went unfinished.
They were nearing Esther':, home.
"What are your plans, Gideon?"
“To see the finish of the railroad,
then sell out my holdings and go to
my ranch."

Hard Life of Bachelor Seal
Ha* Nothing Like So Good a Time
as Human Counterpart.
“This skin,” said the furrier, ‘‘came
from a young seal bachelor, a youth
ignorant of love and of life.”
"How do you know?" the lady asked.
"By its fineness, its perfection," he
replied. “The pile, you will note, is
like closecut velvet Only bachelor
sealskins have such a pile.
“The bachelor seal,” he went on,
“has a rather sad life. The big bull
seals in the seal islands have each
a household of 15 or 20 wives, but
the young bachelors must herd by
themselves. Let one of them attempt
to marry, and straightway a bull slays
him. Not till he is big enough to fight
and conquer a bull—not till he is 14
or 15 years old—can he know the de- j
ugiit of settling down in a home of his
own.
"He is not like the human bachelor,
the favorite of the chorus girls, the
reveler in all sorts of club luxuries;
but he leads a hard, ascetic, celibate
life, only in the end, as like as not, to
make « lady a very fine coat. All the
very fi«e coats. I repeat, are mads
from the unhappy bachelor seals."
Daniel Up to Date,
Jimmy, aged five, wz3 told the
story of Daniel in the lions' den. by
his grandmother. When Bhe had fin
ished the story she asked Jimmy
what ’»3 thought Daniel did the very
first thing when he found he was
saved from the lions?”
"Oh, I guess he telephoned home to 1
his wife to tell her he was all right,” !
answered Jimmy.”
