'BANKERS ' KNEW THEIR MAN
In His Customary Condition , and No
Further . Identification Was
Necessary. '
-
One day a big city bank received
the following message from one of its
Country correspondents : "Pay $25 to
ijohn ' Smith who will call today. " The
'cashier's ' curiosity became suspicion
Iwhen a cabman assisted into the bank
! a drunken "fare" who shouted that he
was [ \ I John Smith : and wanted some
money. : Two clerks pushed , pulled
' and piloted the boisterous individual
into a private room away from the
tight and hearing of regular depos-
itors. ' The cashier wired the country
hank :
"Man claiming to be John Smith is
here. Highly intoxicated. Shall we
await identification ? "
The answer read : "Identification
complete. Pay the money.-Success

"Thank You's.

the lessons he learned in adversity

1 CHAPTER I.
Two Gentlemen Say Good-By.
.
- FJa
F anything really in-
teresting should hap-
pen to me I think I
should drop dead , "
declared Ardmore
as he stood talking
to Griswold in the
railway station at
Atlanta. "I entered
upon this life un
der false pretenses ,
thinking that money
would make the game
easy , but here I am ,
27 years old , stalled
at the end of a blind alley , with no
light ahead ; and to be quite frank ,
old man , I don't believe you have the
advantage of me. What's the matter .
with us , anyhow ? " i
"The mistake we make , " replied
Griswold , "is in failing to seize oppor-
tunities when they offer. You and I
have talked ourselves hoarse a thou-
sand times planning schemes we never
pull off.Ve are cursed with inde-
cision , that's the trouble with us. We
never see the handwriting on the
wall , or if we do , it's just a streak of
hieroglyphics , and we don't know
what it means until we read about it
in the newspapers. But I thought you
were satisfied with the thrills you got
running as a reform candidate for
alderman in New York last year. It
was a large stage and the limelight
struck you pretty often. Didn't you
get enough ? No doubt they'd be glad
to run you again. "
Ardmore glanced hastily about and
laid his hand heavily on his friend's
shoulder.
"Don't mention it-don't think of it !
No more politics in mine. The world
may go hang if it waits for me to set
it right. What I want is . omething
different , a real adventure-something
with spice in it. I have bought every-
thing money can buy , and now I'm
looking for something that can't be
tagged with a price. "
"There's your yacht and the open
sea , " suggested Griswold.
"Sick of it ! Sick to death of it ! "
"You're difficult , old man , and
mighty hard to please. Why don't you
turn explorer and go- in for the south '
pole ? "
"Perfectly bully ! I've thought of it
a lot , but I want to be sure I've
cleaned up everything else first. It's
always up there waiting-on ice , so
to speak-but when it's done once
there will be nothing left. I want to
save that for the last call. " I
"You said about the same thing :
when ] ! we talked of Thibet that first
evening we met at the University
club , and now the Grand Lama sings
In all the phonographs , and for a
I penny you can see him in a kineto-
scope , eating his luncheon. I remem-
ber , very well that night. We were
facing each other at a writing-table ,
and you looked up timidly from your
letter and asked me whether there
were two g's in aggravate , and I an-
swered that it depended on the mean-
Jng - one g for a mild case , two for a
severe one-and you laughed and we
began talking. Then we found out
bow lonesome we both were , and you
asked me to dinner , and then took me
to that big house of yours up there
In Fifth avenue and showed me the
pictures in your art gallery , and we
found out that we needed each other.
"Yes , I had needed you all right ! "
And Ardmore sniffed dolefully , and
complained of the smoke that was
drifting in upon them from the train
sheds. "I wish you wouldn't always
be leaving me. You ought to give
up your job and amuse me. You're
the only chap I know who doesn't
talk horse or automobile or yacht , or
who doesn't want to spend whole
evenings discussing champagne vin
tages ; but you're too good a man to
bn wasted on a college professorship.
Better let me endow an institution
, that will make you president-there
might be something In that. "
"It would make me too prominent ,
po that when we really make up our
Inlnds to go in for adventures I should
be embarrassed by my high position.
JL * a mere lecturer on "The Libeling
of Sunken Ships" in a law school , I'm
thn most obscure person in the world.
And for another thing , we couldn't
risk the scandal of tainted money. It
would be nasty to have your great-
grandfather's whisky deals with the
JJohawk Indians chanted in a college
yell. "
The crowd surged past them to the
Washington express , and a waiting
porter picked up Griswold's : bags
"Wish you wouldn't go. I have
, threo hours to wait , " said Ardmore ,
looking at his watch. "and the only I ;
Atlanta man I know is out of town. "

"What did you say you were going
to New Orleans for ? " demanded Gris-
wold , taking out his ticket and mov-
ing toward the gate. "I thought you
exhausted the Creole restaurants long
" '
ago. -
"The fact is , " faltered Ardmore ,
coloring , "I'm looking for some one. "
"Out with it-out with it ! " com-
manded his friend.
"I'm looking for a girl I saw from a
car window day before yesterday. I
had started north , and my train
stopped to let a south-bound train
pass somewhere in North Carolina.
The girl was on the south - bound
sleeper , and her window was opposite
mine. She put aside the magazine
she was reading and looked me over
rather coolly. "
"And you glanced carelessly in the
opposite direction and pulled down
your shade , of course , like the w-ell-
bred man you are - " interrupted Gris-
wold , holding fast to Ardmore's arm
as they walked down the platform.
"I did no such thing. I looked at
her and she looked at me. And then
my train started- "
"Well , trains have a way of start-
ing. Does the romance end here ? "
"Then , just at the last moment , she
winked at me ! "
"It was a cinder , Ardy. The use of
soft coal on railways is one of the
saddest facts of American transporta-
tion. I need hardly remind you , Mr.
Ardmore , that nice girls don't wink
at strange young men. It isn't done ! "
"I would have you know , professor ,
that this girl is a lady. "
"Don't be so irritable , and lot me
summarize briefly on your own
hypothesis : You stared at a strange
girl and she winked at you , safe in
the consciousness that she would
nerer see you again. And now you
are going to New Orleans to look for
her. She will probably meet you at
the station , with her bridesmaids and
wedding cake all ready for you. And
you think this will lead to an adven-
ture-you defer finding the pole
for this-for this ? Poor Ardy ! But
did she toss her card from the win-
dow ? Why New Orleans ? Why not
Minneapolis , or Bangor , Me. ? "
"I'm not an ass , Grissy. I caught
the name of the sleeper-you know
they're all named , like yachts and
tall buildings-the name of her car
was the Alexandra. I asked our con- '
ductor where it was bound for , and
he said it was the New Orleans car.
So I took the first train back , ran into
I
you here , and that's the whole story !
to date. "
"I admire your spirit. New Orleans I
is much pleasanter than the polar ice ,
and a girl with a winking eye isn't
to be overlooked in this vale of tears.
What did this alleviating balm for .
tired eyes look like , if you remem-
ber anything besides the wicked
wink ? "
"She was bareheaded , and her hair
was wonderfully light and fluffy , and
it was parted in the middle and tied
behind with a black ribbon in a great

bow. She rested her cheek on her
hand-her elbow on the window-sill ,
you know-and she smiled a little as
the car moved off , and winked-do
you understand ? Her eyes were blue ,
Grissy , big and blue - and she was
perfectly stunning. "
"There are winks and winks , Ardy , "
observed Griswold with a judicial air.
"There is the wink inadvertent , to
which no meaning can be attached.
There is the wink deceptive , usually
given behind the back of a third per-
son , and a vulgar thing which we will
not associate with your girl of the
Alexandra. And then , to be brief ,
there is the wink of mischief , which
is observed occasionally in persons of
exceptional bringing up. There are
moments in the lives of all of us
when we lose our grip on conventions
-on morality , even. The psychology
of this matter is very subtle. Here
you are , a gentleman of austerely cor-
rect life ; here is a delightful girl , on
whom you flash in an out-of-the-way
corner of the world. And she , n < ? i

miration In your eyes-for you may
as well concede that you stared at
her - "
her"Well
"Well , I suppose I did look at her , "
admitted Ardmore , reluctantly.
"Pardonably , no doubt , just as you '
would look at a portrait in a picture
gallery , of course. This boarding-
school miss , who had never before
lapsed from absolute propriety , felt
the conventional world crumble be-
I neath her as the train started. She
could no more have resisted the
I temptation to wink than she could
have refused a caramel or an invita-
tion to appear as best girl at a church
wedding. Thus wireless communica-
i
tion is established between soul and
I
soul for an Instant only , and then you

had , and Griswold had entered into
the spirit of this sort of thing for the
joy it gave Ardmore. They had dis-
cussed frequently the call of soul to
soul-the quick glance passing be-
tween perfect strangers in crowded
thoroughfares , and had fruitlessly
speculated as to their proper course
in the event the call seemed impera-
tive. A glance of the eye is one thing ,
but it is quite another to address a
stranger and offer eternal friendship.
The two had agreed that , while , soul-
call or no soul-call , a gentleman must
keep clear of steamer flirtations , and
avoid even the most casual remarks
to strange young women in any cir
cumstances , a gentleman of breeding
and character may nevertheless fol
low the world's long trails in search
of a never-to-be-forgotten face.
The fact is that Ardmore was ex
ceedingly shy , and a considerable ex
perience of fashionable society had
not diminished this shortcoming. Gris-
wold , on the other hand , had the Vir-
ginian's natural social instinct , but
he suffered from a widely-diffused im
pression that much learning had made
him either indifferent or extremely
critical where women are concerned.
Ardmore shrugged his shoulders and
fumbled in his coat pockets as though
searching for ideas. An austere com
posure marked his countenance at all
times , and emphazised the real dis-
tinction of his clean-cut features. His
way of tilting back his head and star-
ing dreamily into vacancy had estab-
lished for him a reputation .for stu-
pidity that was wholly undeserved.
"Please limit the discussion to the
present world , professor. "
When Ardmore was displeased with
I Griswold he called him professor , in
a withering tone that disposed of the
academic life.
"We shall limit it to New Orleans
or the universe , as you like. "
"I'm disappointed in you , Grissy.
You don't take this matter in the prop-
er spirit. I'm going to find that girl ,
I tell you. "
"I want you to find her , Ardy , and
throw yourself at her feet. Be It far
from me to deprive you of the joy of
search. I thoroughly admire your
resolute spirit. It smacks of the old
heroic times. Nor can I conceal from
you my consuming envy. If a girl
should flatter me with a wink I should
follow her thrice round the world.
She should not elude me anywhere in
the Copernican system. If it were not
the nobler part for you to pursue
alone , I should forsake my professor-
ship and buckle on my armor and
follow your standard-
With the winking eye
For my battle-cry. "
And Griswold hummed the words ,
beating time with his stick , much to
Ardmore's annoyance.
"In my ignorance , " Griswold con-
tinued , "I recall but one allusion to
the wink in immortal song. If my
memory serves me , it is no less a
soul than Browning who sings :
'All heaven , meanwhile , condensed into
one eye
Which fears to lose the wonder , should
it wink. '
You seem worried , Ardy. Does the
wink press so heavily , or what's the
matter ? "
"The fact is , I'm in trouble. My
sister says I've got to marry. "
"Which sister ? "
"Mrs. : Atchison. You know Nellie ?
She's a nice girl and she's a good sis
ter to me , but she's running me too
hard on this marrying business. She's
going to bring a bunch of girls down
to Ardsley in a few days , and she
says she'll stay until I make a choice. "
Griswold whistled.
"Then , as we say in literary circles ,
you're up against it. No wonder
you're beginning to take notice of
the frolicsome boarding-school girl
who winks at the world. I believe
I'd rather take chances myself with.
that amiable sort than marry Into
your Newport transatlantic set. "
"Well , one thing's certain , Grissy.
You've got to come to Ardsley and
help me out while those people are
there. Nellie likes you ; she thinks
you're terribly intellectual and all
that , and if you'll throw in a word
now and then , why - "
"Why , I may be able to protect you
from the crafts and assaults of your
sister. You seem to forget , Ardy ,
that I'm not one of your American
leisure class. I'm always delighted
to meet Mrs. Atchison , but I'm a per-
son of occupations. I have a con-
sultation in Richmond to-morrow ,
then me for Charlottesville. We have
examinations coming on , and , while I
like to play with you , I've positively
got to work. "

A Tireless Turbine.
In a gas factory at Ivry , near Paris ,
a Laval turbine , driven by jets of
steam , was once set to work , and
and when fairly under way was driven
for 3,600 hours , or 150 days , without
stopping for an instant. An automatic
oiler kept it lubricated , and a work-
' visited it in 12 hours to

of the circumference of the rotating
disk being about six miles a minute ,
a point on that circumference must
have traveled in the course of the 150
days almost five and a half times the
distance from the earth to the moon

Height and Heft Count.
Men weighing less than 150 pounds
are said to have been discharged from
certain railroad workshops. Men :
weighing more than 190 pounds , un
less usually tall , have been "released"
as street car conductors as too fat to
thread the thronged aisles. Men over
40 find it hard to get jobs because
they are too old. Men under 25 find
promotion difficult because they are
too young. Will the world's work
presently : all be done by men between
25 and 35 and of medium height and
thickness ? And what will all the .t.
era do ?

ON LIFE'S JOURNEY
MASTERPIECE IS THIS ESSAY B\
. .HOBERT G. INGERSOLL.
Great Agnostic Moved to Heights of
Real 1 Eloquence on the Occasion
of the Birth of First
Grandchild. .
Born of love and hope , of ecstac
and pain , of agony and fear , of tean
and joy , dowered with the wealth ol
two united hearts-held in happy
arms , with lips upon life's drifted
font , blu -veined and fair , where per
fect peace finds perfect form-rocked
by willing feet and wooed to shadowy
shores of sleep by ; siren mother , sing-
ing soft and low-looking with won
der's wide and startled eyes at com
mon things of life and day-taught by
want and wish and contact with the
things that touch the dimpled flesh
of babes-lured , by light and flame ,
and charmed by color's wondrous
robes-learning the use of hands and
feet , and by the love of mimicry be
guiled to utter speech-releasing pris-
oned thoughts from crabbed and curi
ous marks on soiled and tattered
leaves-puzzling the brain with
crooked numbers and their changing ,
tangled worth-and so through years
of alternating day and night , until the
captive grows familiar with the chains
and walls and limitations of a life.
And time runs on in sun and shade
until the one of all the world is wooed
and won , and all the lore of love is
taught and learned again. Again a
home is built , with the fair chambei ,
wherein faint dreams , like cool and
shadowy vales , divide the billowed
hours of love. Again the miracle of
birth-the pain and joy , the kiss oJ
welcome and the cradle song drowning
the drowsy prattle of a babe.
And then the sense of obligatior
and of wrong-pity for those who toi' :
and weep-tears for the imprisonec
and despised-love for the generous
dead , and in the heart the rapture of a
high resolve.
And then ambition with its lust of
pelf and place and power , longing to
put upon its breast distinction's worth-
less badge. Then keener thoughts of
men , and eyes that see behind the
smiling mask of craft-flattered no
more by the obsequious cringe of gain
and greed-knowing the uselessness
of hoarded gold , or honor bought fo\n
those who charge the usury of self-
respect , of power that only bends a
coward's knees and forces from the
lips of fear the lies of praise. Know-
ing at last the unstudied gesture of es
teem , the reverent eyes made rich
with honest thought , and holding high
above all other things-high as hope's
great throbbing star above the dark-
ness of the dead-the love of wife and
child and friend.
Then locks of gray , and growing
love of other days and half remem-
bered things-holding the withered
hands of those who first held his ,
while over dim and loving eyes death
softly presses down the lids of rest.
And so , locking in marriage vows
' oth-
his children's hands and crossing
ers on the breasts of peace , with
daughters' babes upon his knees , the
white hair mingling with the gold , he
journeys on from day to day to that
horizon where the dusk : is waiting for
the night. At last , sitting by the holy
hearth of home as evening's embers
change from red to gray , he falls
asleep within the arms of her he wor-
shiped and adored , feeling upon his
pallid lips love's last and holiest kiss.
Robert G. Ingersoll's Essay on Life
written after the birth of his grand-
child.
Knew What Was Coming.
Prof. Hugh W. Ransom of Harvard
was describing , at a dinner in Cam-
bridge , his experience as a subway
workman-experience undergone in
the cause of science.
"One thing that impressed me , " he
said , "was the happy home life of
these hard-working men. It is a far
happier home life than that of the idle
rich. And yet , the way people talk ,
you'd think It was a wretched and
squalid home life.
"The way people talk , you'd think
Jim Jackson's was a typical poor
man's home.
"Jim , very pale and shaky , stopped
at the butcher's one morning and
.
said :
" 'Give me a small piece of raw beef
for a black eye , please. '
" 'Who's got a black eye , Jim ? '
asked the butcher curiously.
. .
" 'Nobody ain't , yet , ' Jim answered.
'But I've been on a bust for the last
three days , and now I'm on my way
home to the old woman. ' "

of money or the purchase of property.
Mrs. Harriman has many agents work-

Two Englishmen were. resting at the
Red Home inn at Stratford-on-Avon.
One of them discovered a print pictur-
ing a low , tumbling building under-
neath which was printed : "The
House in Which Shakespeare Was
Born. " Turning to his friend in mild
surprise he pointed to the print. His
friend exhibited equal surprise and
called a waiter , who assured them of
the accuracy of the inscription.

from bad to worse.
"I ' s like the case of the engaged
couple at the seaside dance. The

"Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final
result was that
my
whole nervous force was shattered.
"My heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me ,
about a year ago , that I must stop
drinking coffee or I could never ex

so many times nauseated me. I

bring myself to give up the coffee.
"Finally I concluded that I owed It
to myself to give Postum a trial. So I
got a package and carefully followed
the directions , and what a delicious .
nourishing , rich drink it was ! . Do you
know I found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all ?
"Almost immediately after I made
the change I found myself better and
as the days went by I kept on improv-
ing. My nerves grew sound and
steady , I slept well and felt strong
and well-balanced all the time.
"Now I am completely cured , with
the old nervousness and sickne'ss all
gone. In every way I am well once \
more. " ,

It pays to give up the drink that
acts on some like a poison , for health
