Continued. Tie nclually gave Iter ?200.0l)0 to Start thnt great Institution for young working women which was tlio pride of her heart, nnd ho promised hor that ns the work developed, as ho had no doubt It would develop nuthc foundations hIio was plunnlng, he would follow up tho first gift by othors even lnrger. Ho told her that ho wns willing to devote n million or perhaps more to the enterprise, If It proved worth while, especially as so many of his own employees would bo benoflted by It. Miss Hnldano dW not Intend to Hvo !n the poclal settlement herself. Sho might perhaps If.ve enjoyed such a life; but her socff.l duties at thu other end of society vero of so exacting a character, and her family were so op posed to her undertaking such work, that she contented herself with fur thering from afnr tho efforts of cer tain nf her college mates In that di rection. Ono thing rosslbly that Induced Gormly to promise this great sum of money, which he could very well spare, was the knowledgo Imparled to him by Miss Ilaldane that she herself, through her father and friends, would give a like amount. Gormly had exacted a plcdgo from the young woman that she would not betray hlin as n benefactor In her in stitution. He had nctually mado out the check to her for the amount In question and turned It over without hesitation after an Interview lasting less than half nn hour, In which Miss .Ilaldane had set forth her plans, her hopes, and her atnbltlutis with all her charm of manner. Ho was not cer tain that ho could have refused her the store If sho had demanded it! When Mlsa Haldane left his busi ness office, check In hand, sho felt that sho had Indeed accomplished much. She was quite satisfied with herself Cormly was equally satisfied with himself. Then and there ho deter mined to marry Mlsa Haldane. It takes the cool headed, prudent man of business to make tho most extraordi nary plunges Into wild endeavors at times. He felt as a man with the Wall street germ In his blood might feel who was suddenly, after a quar ter of a century of restraint, launched on the sea of speculation. What Oorm ly determined was usually brought about sooner or later. In this in- stance, however, there was no as surance of succoss. Matrimony is the oretically regarded aa a contract be tween two equals Into which neither enters upon constraint. That waa Gormly's view of it. Ho could buy end sell merchandise. Ho would not buy or sell a woman. Nor had Gcorgo Gormly a particular lutowledgo to enable him to play tho Kame he had entered upon with such Impetuous Indiscretion. Ho could hand cut a million dollars or so ou occasion without feeling ltj but cynical though he had becomo about womankind In nencral, Gormly Instinctively roallzed that such means would bo entirely In cdequato to do more than arrest tem porary attention and excite a passing Interest In such it woman as MI33 Ilal dane. Indeed, too freely rosortod to, pitch practise would Inevitably dis cus', her. Meanwhllo ho must keep In touch with her. At Interval.!, thoreforo, he won hltnsolf a eight of her and main tained a npoaklny acquaintanco by further remittances toward her pro ject; which had already startod with n tremendous flourish of trumpets and great Interest on tho part of tho. pub lic. Miss Haldane, for all her other qual ities, was human and n woman. There was something rathor alluring in a bocrot oven to her. Sho enjoyed being tho means of disbursing for good eml3 millions that remained Anonymous to tho general public. Sho wns quite willing to call at Gormly's business ofTlco on occasion for tho purpose of rellovlng him of further donntlons. Naturally sho conlldod more and more of her plans and sometimes her difficulties to U10 samo Btitutp man. Sho found Gormly re markably Intelligent on such matters and able to glvo her tho very beat pos sible advice. Sometimes she even came to him of her own motion to re colvo something else than signed bits of paper good at tbo bank, and to dis cuss vexing questions and problems that uroso from tlmo to time. Sho grew to respect him and then to Uko him. Fortune ns usual favored him. s Miss Haldane w twonty-two. Nat urally sho rcgardou a man of forty- SOME INCIDENTAL RELATION lit THE WOMAN By CYmtsTdwrtSKNDBitADY four as a posslblo father, and alio had 110 hesitation in approaching Gormly with much moro familiarity thnn sho would have drenmed of allowing her fcolf had ho been younger. And yet Gormly himself waa a young looking man for forty-four. Ho wns still aa tall and slender, not to sny spare, ns ho had been when a boy. Ho was smooth shaven, and tho flecks of gray In hia blond hair wero scarcely notice able. If MltjH Ilaldano had over given thought of his age, she would have supposed him ten years younger than ho was; that Is, on nppearance. When she thought of his business, sho would hnvo considered him sixty. Ever slnco sho could remember, sho had dealt at tho great shop, and Gormly himself unconsciously took on to her the as j;Oct of nnclont history. So tho little affair ran on; Gormly consciously becoming moro nnd moro deeply Involved, Mlsa Haldane uncon Hclounly interweaving herself In the samo tangled web. CHAPTER II. The Devotion of Mr. Gormly, Tho relationship of Miss Hnldano and Gormly waa all ory well so far ns it went, but it did not go far enough for tho man's purpose at least; and Gormly wns shrowd enough to sea that things might run on without any (lcflnito roEults In this way forever. Slnco tho beginning of tho acquaint anco Gormly had kept track of Miss Haldnno through a clipping bureau! Instance of hia practical common ofcnsc which may nmuso the romantic Then and There reader. Ho had neither tho time nor tho Inclination to search the journals In which were chronicled the doings of social Now York In which tho Ilal dano nnnio waa prominent; so ho In structed bin prlvato socrotary, Cha loner, upon whoso discretion ho could rely, to have sent to him at his prlvato nddrcsa all clippings relating to Miss Haldane. Gormly, therefore, knew tho llfo of tho object of hia attention aa well aa it could be known from Ita out ward and vlslblo presentation beforo tho public. Indeed, there waa little that was conccalablo undor such cir cumstances tho higher you rise the less privacy you have, obscurity being the prerogative, or tho penalty, of the hurablo so that ho was entirely aware of Mlsa Haldane's goings an comings, who her friends wore, what housoa she visited, what diversions she affected, who paid hor attention, and so on. Mennwhllo tho man did not neglect hia business nothing would ever make him do that but bo divided his tlmo between It and tho young woman which wns n great concession to her Influence. Ono reason why ho had be como such an nsslduous student of tho clippings wns because he wanted to know whether Miss Haldano wns, or waa likely to be, engaged to bo mar ried. His apprehensions on that Bcoro wero soon set at rest. It waa Miss Ualdano's second season. Sho had created an Instant furor when she had been launched In society tho year be foro, The usual contingent of Im pecunious foreigners had promptly laid their coronets at her feet; but It r - Ho was qulto evident that none of them had found favor In hor eyes, nnd that sho was still free. He would enter It, he decided; but howT First of all, something must bodono to bring Gormly hlmFclf Into tho pub lic eyo In sonio other capacity, somo higher capacity, somo moro nttractlvo capacity, than that of a moro retailer of ribbons, so to speak; tho public eyo for Gormly being Miss Haldanc'a liq uid orbs. And Gormley know that tho way to prlvato consideration Is moro often than not through public Inter est. Ho had to do something to justi fy himself, therefore, to mnko himself known In somo enviable way; In short, ho determined to mnko himself worthy of her. And again tho question nioae; but how? Ho hnd thought vaguely of tho ra cing game, of tho most mngnlflrent of yachts, of the Uncut nnd spoedlost of stables, of tho fastest string of auto mobiles, of a thousand similar things which he hnd dismissed an unworthy of his high purpose nnd Inadequate to his end; until finally, fortuno favoring him, ho hit upon tho field of politics. Miss Haldnno In somo of those now rather frequent conferences, had cas ually enough remarked that Bhe llkod men who did things, who really ac complished something for good In this world. Gormly Instantly resolved to do something. Now If any mnn really wants to accompllrh good In this world, there nro few opportunities of greater possibilities than those pre sented In tho political arena. There ia nUo no field In which It la harder to accomplish tho end. Gormly as a political force waa entirely unknown. IIo was without experience. Ono requisite, popularly considered vital, ho had, and, that was an nbundanco of money. Another requisite ho pos sessed albeit unwittingly, waa char acter. And still n third was hia, and that wbb Imagination coupled with capacity tho Ideal and tho roal; tho dreamer and tho practical man In ono! An Irreslstlblo combination that! Fortuno waa further kind- to him, however, for concurrently with his de cision sho presented him with nn opening. Gormly's business wns suffi ciently great to have enabled hltu to extend It In several directions. Ho Determined to Marry Mies Haldane, brought Ireland, England, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, and tho Orient Into Nov York bay anil un loaded them in hia great institution. Ho had conceived, tomo dozen years beforo after paying tremendous freight charges, tho propriety of establishing his own lino of freight steamers. It had amused him to comblno tho prno Use' of tho ancient merchant prince with tho customs of tho modern one. Ho had bought the controlling inter est In a freight lino of half a dozen largo steamers, which he found no difficulty in using as cargo carriers for other poople when they wero nut supplying his own noeda. The purchaao of the freight line had with it a lease of ono of the piers in the North river. The lease had run out tho .year beforo. He had there after availed himself of what he con ceived to bo nn excellent opportunity of subleasing nnother pier In tho East river. Tho city had Just completed an elaborate railroad, surfuce and sub way, for the transportation of heavy freight from tho water front to tho great mcrcantllo establishments In land. This system had been leacod to tho aotham Freight Traction com pany, a vast corporation with a full set of ostensible promoters and di rectors, but which had back of It pow ers and persons unknown to tho gen eral public, carefully concealed from it in fact. Tho corporation had not been firm ed to pronioto tho health of Its mom bers. Thoreforo when Gormly ap plied to the authorities for permis sion to construct a switch from his pier on tho ono hand nnd hia ware house near tho river front on tho other to connect both with thla subway, tho permission wns Instantly granted, but coupled with nn expense demand upon him for something like a million dol lars. Gormly could give Miss Hnldano ft million dollars to play with; ho would not upend ten cents for bribery. Ho fsuv Instantly thnt the demand upon him waa a mem nttempt to hold him up. To build the Hwltcli would cost pet Imps forty or fifty thousand dol lars; tho privilege might be worth aa much more; but Inasmuch ns no streets wero crossed, no overhead traf fic hindered, he was doubtful even na to thnt, Tho road hnd been built by private capital s..oscrlbcd by the peo pleon a public franchise. The in tcrcntrt of tho public were supposed to bo paramount. A reasonable return upon their Investment wns all that tho piomntcrs hnd a right to expect. Gormly hnd consulted his attorneys, hnd appealed to tho city council, nnd had done everything thnt lu could to nettle the mnttcr short of pttbllsh'ntt the whole affair. I In hnd fnlled ab solutely everywhere Tito members of the ttitnsportatltm commltteo of tho board of aldermen weto very sorry, but they did not see what could bo done. A gentle hint thnt Gormly might prefer to Indemnify tho alder men for their trouble In enso they should give him permission wns met with pained silence or oxploslve wrath. It wn.i furthermore pointed nut to him thnt tho hoard had no power, tho rights of the people having been ost ed In the corporation for a nlnety-nlno year period. It wnu too bad that tho Innocent aldermen had allowed them soIvoh to ho placed In such an unfor tunate position; but to It wan nnd there you were. There wns no help for the matter, nnd GormlyV only re poureo wns to pay the money, unless he wanted to unload his gooila Into truck wagons and vans nnd cart them nil over tho city. Of couine he could do this; but It would he much easier, more profitable nnd more dealrnblo In every way It ho had the right to tun cars out on the pier nlougHide of tho irssels of hia fleet nnd transport tho merehniidlho In bulk in that way. He w.is in u very despernto situa tion. Hero he waa saddled with n twenly-uvo-yenr loaso of ono of tho mora expensive piers In New York; hero hu hnd a grrnt wnnhoiwo six blocks or moro away from tho pier; here he hnd also a vast storo sovcral miles from tho warehouse; hero was a railroad that practically connected nil three, provided ono or two llttlo spurs or switches could bo built from pier to railroad, and from warehouso to railroad. It waa perhnps tho ono mtstnko that ho had made in his busi ness career not to have arranged mat ters beforo all tbla came to a cllmnx. Tho railroad pcoplo mennt to mnko him pay. They wero resolvod that ho should; he wna equally determined that he would not. Ho waa not nlono in his position, however; for tt wns found on nil sides he discovered It by mnklng quiet in quiries thnt other shippers and raorchnnts seeking similar privileges were being held up In the tamo way. The road had proved enormously ox penalvo to build; tho stock hnd been watered unmercifully. Contracts which had been entered Into for tho construction of switches wero found to bo of Utile value; means wero avail able to break them and evado them, and tho whole water front of Now York found Itself practically helpless In tho grasp of thla octopus of n corpo ration. There had been no clamor In the pa pers over this matter; but there was a tremendous undercurrent of resent ment nnd dissatisfaction, and Gormly thought ho saw nn opportunity of turn ing It to hia own account. To expose the iniquitous methods of procedure of the Gothnm Freight Traction com pany, to bring about Its tuln or Ita downfall by depriving It of tho. fran chise It was abusing, to safeguard the peoplo In their rights in any further grants, was certainly an object suffi ciently high and sufficiently vast to attract the attention, and, should ho succeed, to awaken tho admiration of nny being. And Gormly himself with out losing sight of MIlh Haldano be gan to look nt tho possibilities from a high nnd noble point of view, In which self-interest took a sccondnry position. Thcrefote, Into In November ho came boldly out In tho open, nnd over his own name vigorously attacked tho Gotham Freight Traction company. Jlp did It In u unique way, too. In stead of tho full page advertisement of Gormly's atoro which appenrrd slmultimootihly In all the great dailies', there wan presented ono morning In clear, direct, businesslike English a statement of tho whole situation ex actly aa It waa. There wero no throat a, no mouncea, no intimations of any fu ture plnn or purpose; just n blunt statement of facts printed In largo double-leaded typo, and r.lgncd with the familiar fncslmllo of hia now fv mous autograph.

Hezeklah, although thu son of u bad father (but a good mother), begnn his reign with n thorough nnd widespread reformation and revival of tho truo re ligion, even while tho Asayrlnna were Invading the Northern Kingdom. He cleansed nnd repaired tho temple, re stored tho temple services, nnd pro vided for tho Hiipport of tho Lovlten nnd for popular religious instruction from tho booku of the law, thua bring ing about a great uprising against Idolatry. Tho ret lit was most happy. "Hezo klah had cxcoidlng much rlchea nnd honor." Hia kingdom wna tranquil, strong and wcnlthy. Hut ono constant danger tlucatencd Judah tho grow lug power of Assyria, whoso overlord ship Ahaz had acknowledged, against tho urgent ptoleuta of Isaiah. In 701 II. C. tho great Invasion ol Palestine was made by Sennacherib, with a double siege of Jerusalem Sennacherib sent nn army demanding tho surrender of Jerusalem. Ho may hnvo felt that It was a mlutnko to lenvo In hia rear so powerful a fort ress, while ho had fatlll to complete tho overthrow of tho Egyptians." Tho Assyrians, coming near to tho walla of tho city nnd speaking through Habshakeh, tho chief officer of Sen nacherib, made tho contest ono ho tween Jehovnh nnd tho Assyrian Idols, between tho truo religion, tho ono means of redeeming tho world, and Hezeklah, and Isaiah, and apparently tho acrlbos and elders, clothed in sackcloth, went Into tho tomplo and prayed from their Inmost souls. Note how uflllctlons lead to prayer. Hezeklah saw beforo him captivity, Buffering, probably death, tho loss of hia kingdom, tho extinction of his lino, the exllo of his poople. llutnbovo nil ho saw tho fall of truo religion, tho dishonor of God's namo, a relig ious nnd moral loss to tho world. Wo should pray for temporal blessings, for whatever wo need; but nt the same time wo should novor lot tho de sire for earthly things overshadow the lnrger nnd moro Important spiritual Interests; but rather, an In Hezekiah'i case, the pressure of personal need should mako more intenso tho desire for God's causo and kingdom. Then came a messago from God through Isaiah. Hitherto Isaiah's mes sage had beon ono of warning tc Judah, In order to make them so obo dlent to God that tho relief could como to them as a blessing. Now his messago concerns the Assyrians, but also shows Judah why God comes to their help. The wonderful dellveranco came when the angel of tho Lord smote of tho.
