Thcro cornea this thought Did 1 not mlsa notne word Whlth might have made the Hunt shlno on your way Porno flower might have lifted from the dew Dear to the lit of you Oh lonely dwelling neatli the

for you knock no morel Atlanta Constitution AFTER TWELVE MIDNIGHT The man who speaks loudly In public places of the valuation of his sideboard and the Insecurity of his front door may Bnfcly be put down as an amiable Idiot Yet Thomas Nedham of the firm of Nedhnm Wllklns was no fool lie was reputed to be a cute man of busi ness who knew how to keep his coun sel when his money was at stake and yet here he was tonight on the front sent of a crowded omnibus boasting to his neighbor that his silver plato was the heaviest in all Hampstead Burglars he laughed In answer to a qtaestlon I hnve been 30 years a householder and never one of the gen try has deigned to visit me 1 often think that the man who takes no pre caution comes off best in this matter 1 have known some men spend a fortune In locks and bolts and have a house breaker In as regularly as a chimney sweep You did not know my partner Wllklns lies been dead these dozen years and before things went wrong with him and I bought him out he had a collection of coins worth 1000 Well he kept the treasure in a room whose windows were sheathed nightly In heavy shutters bolted and bolted again But of course he rose one flue morning to find the lot gone That irokc the old fellows heart and from then till they placed him in Norwood cemetery he was never off the rocks As the old gentleman proceeded in n lower voice to tell stories of the burglaries that he had known to befall his friends the tall young fellow Im mediately behind him showed signs of nervousness He shifted uneasily in his seat and as ever and anon the gas lights were passed his pinched face fchowed white and his big eyes seem ed riveted on the jovial Nedham When the merchant left the bus with a hear ty good night to all and sundry the etripling rose and blipped off too Twelve midnight had long since boomed from the church steeple oppo site and still Thomas Nedhnm city merchant and Importer lay wide awake Usually he was a heavy sleep er but tonight slumber hnd deserted him though before coming to bed he had done his best to woo her by tin subtle aid of two tumblers of strong toddy Ills nctlve brain Insisted on scruti nizing and dissecting the stock and share list of the previous day and gamboling through his now silent city warehouse The old gentleman chuc kled as he held his eyes tight and conjured before him the thousands of great bales that lumbered every Inch of his stores Wonderful he said audibly What a great thing may sometimes grow from a small one to be sure Only 30 years ago and I was wondering how I could meet a bill for 2 15s Now new blocks added six and fifty ware housemen piles of paying work and still growing growing growing Won der what Wilklus would think of it all If he were looking up now Poor Wllklns They tell me he died declar ing that I had robbed him That was a hard thing to 6ay No robbery say I but a business transaction a smart business transaction Besides In any ense It was a question of tit for tat But for Wilklus I should not have been n bachelor Nedham moved uneasily In bed and through a doorway arched with trou bled memory he stole to the land of forgetfulness How long he slept he hardly knew but he woke with a start He had the distinct Impression that he felt warm breath on his face and springing odt of bed he switched on the electric light No trace of an Intruder was In the room but the door which Nedham felt sure he had shut Btood partly ajar Hastily pulling on his dressing gown ajid shoving his bare feet Into slippers he reached a heavy riding crop from tho wall and stumbled down stairs Ab he opened the drawing room door there was the shuffling of hasty feet and when the light went up a tall young fellow shabbily dressed stood revealed The two men faced each other acrosa the table Nedham gripping tight the whip handle Now he said In a wonderfully com posed voice Ive caught you clean What In all the world may you want here The youngster removed his battered hat and his eyes fell as a tinge of color rose to his cheek A straight question demands a straight answer he replied I am In quest of some of the silver plate you boasted about on the top of the ptead bus last night 1 overheat d that conversation Ncdhnni laughed and laid the crop on tho table You young fool ho said You do not know Tom Nedhnm or you would not have tried this mugs game on He rubbed his lmnilR Tom Nedham hns never been known to be caught napping never 1 lmo heard snld replied tho bur glar nervously that you nre a smart man of business a very smart man of business he added raising his eyes and looking Nedham squarely In the face You Hatter me young man chuc kled the Hrtly merchant And who may 1 uhk reported so favorably of tue My name replied the Rtrlpllng leaning over tho tnble my name Is Wllklns My father was your partner And having llred that shot he awaited results J Nedham shivered slightly and his face changed color In a moment how ever he had mastered himself Ah he said lightly are you the boy Ive heard him speak so often t about How strangely people meet sometimes Who could hnve dreamed I that 1 should have had the pleasure of seeing you nt kucIi an unlikely hour nuu piace sit down sir su ciowni It Is cold as an Iceberg here Let mo get you a whisky nnd soda And ho pnssed over to tho sideboard The housebreaker protested but Uie old gentleman insisted To tell you the truth ho said laughing youve given mo quite a turn 1 need something to still my llutterlug heart and I make It a rule never to drink alone when there Is company about So saying he handed Wilklus the frothing stimulant nnd filling up his own glass to the brim he raised It with Well sir 1 drink to you nnd I sin cerely hope 1 have not disappointed you by appearing bo unexpectedly on the scene tonight The stripling drnnk In silence For a minute no words passed i 1 suppose Wllklns muttered nt IaBt you will now send for the po lice The merchant lnughed loudly as he lay back in his chair Why police he said You have not robbed me I had that Intention was tho re- ply But like most of my other schemes in life It did not come off But remember If I had cleared your sideboard I should not have called my- self a robber not even a lawbreaker My father has told me that you robbed him and were the cause of his ruin at the end Nedham drew himself up fidgeting on his seat I I do assure you lie said soothing- ly there is no vestige of truth In tho accusation You may not know that your father was subject to hallucina tion long before we parted company I disagree with you sir put in tho other with a trembling lip But that is all past now and need not be mourned over My father Is far be yond business trickery at this moment But candidly I bear you a bitter grudge and ever will do so So does another my mother Your mother queried tho old man in a whisper She Is still alive then Ah the mention of her brings back to me the days of youth I presume your father never told you how he came be tween us and made the only woman I ever loved his wife I I am In no mood for sentiment the young man interrupted And besides that too Is a bygone What 1 do know Is that the terrible crash came unexpectedly and brought down to the earth like a card castle all that made for happiness with us I hnd to leave college and though I have tried 1 never have been able to mend the broken thread of my life But all this does not interest you And he moved toward the door Do have another drink insisted the merchant It Is bitterly cold out side and you may have a long way to walk The offer was declined As the gentleman burglar passed In to the hall he turned with a forced smile nnd said I came by the back door and will go by It I presume Not at all cried Nedham effusive ly No visitor at Woodlands has ever been allowed to do that Let me show you out by the front door nnd when next you come to see mo perhaps you will give mo fairer warning than you did this morning He opened tho door and held out his hand The youngster took It coldly By the way said the merchant Is your mother In need of money Money snld Wllklns drawing him self up proudly on the doorstep l lty And from such as you Thank God we are not yet reduced to that level And so Baying he passed out Into tho night Nedham listened to the re treating footsteps for Borne moments and then quietly 6hut the door Queer fellow certainly he chuc kled But a boy of spirit aye a boy of spirit he added emphatically as he pulled on the bolts Tho Australian branch of Mr Ned hams business which he opened at Melbourne some four years ago la thriving beyond all expectations But when business friends congratulate Mr Nedham he laughs and says 1 mustnt take the credit Its young Wllklns concern Im taking him Into partnership with the new year

accessible by steam and electric lines from all parts or Buffalo When It Is recalled that it was only the -It li day of last June that the tlrst piece of timber was talsed aloft as the beginning of what Is new n magnificent Exposition city one can but marvel at the executive force which has brought this work to Its present stnte of completeness The cost of the Exposition as It now appears Is approximately 10000000 exclusive of exhibits Of this sum the Midway represents an expenditure of about 3000000 Nothing seems to have been forgotten In perfecting the plan and there Is every convenience for the visitor and an abundance Tor him to examine and enjoy The admis sion price Is the same as usual at expo sitions half a dollar but It entitles one to a full day at the most beautiful fes thai of the kind that has ever been brought Into existence No pen will be so presumptuous as to attempt to describe the architectural and color beauty of the Pan American Exposi tion It Is a magnificent an extrava gant dream brought to a harmonious and beautiful realization The triumph of the architect the colorlst the land scape architect the sculptor and tho electrician is complete There are about 150 buildings in the Exposition plot of all sizes and de scriptions nnd nn nbundnnce for every one to see no matter how long he may choose to remnln The most novel ex hibits perhaps arc to be found In the Electricity building for In that partic ular science wonderful strides have been made within the Inst few years Notably among those is the transform er plant where 5000 horsepower Is re ceived from Niagara Falls by cable at a pressure of 11000 volts nnd stepped down to 1S00 volts This power Is used for lighting the vast Exposition urea A daylight brilliancy will per vade the Exposition until 11 oclock each night The exhibit or Street Ball way appliances Is also of a very com plete and Interesting character The exhibit made by Thomas A Edison showing the development of many of his Important inventions constitutes another attractive feature Demonstra tions nre to be made of Wireless Te legraphy nnd the X Kays In the cen ter or the Machinery and Transporta tion building Ib a working exhibit or a large number or Pumping Engines These supply tho water for the various fountain features of the Exposition Among these wnter displays Is a cas cade In the southern face of the Elec tric Tower from which there Is n flow of 33000 gallons of water per minute making a beautiful vellilke cataract 70 feet high Upon this cataract electric lights of many colors will be thrown from nn Invisible source producing nn enchanting picture One of the most Imposing buildings of the Exposition is the great Stadium This Is more than 00 feet high and is bo large as to Inclose n quarter mile track The Beats are arranged in the form of n vast amphitheater nnd the cnpaclty Is sulllclent for 12000 specta tors This Is to be the scene of very Interesting events daily throughout tho Exposition The Midway is said to be the great est that has ever been organized for any exposition The Midway proper PRESIDENT JOHN O MTLBrmN Is 3000 feet long thus giving more than a mile of frontage upon this sin gular thoroughfare There are about 40 chows every one of them possess ing special merit and selected from a large number offered There has been great rivalry among show people to secure space upon the Midway and It has been allotted with great care and with the positive assurance that every feature would be of a character to com mand popular Interest It may be Bald of the whole Expo eltlon that In every department it Is a compact yet complete presentation of Twentieth Century civilization of the Western World Tie Ueoirruphlral Center The exact
