he keeps at hand a corps of servants
who will respond to the guest's sum

times, says Travel Magazine, travelers
were attended by their own servants
to wait oa them. The modern custom
echoes the ancient The traveler nc
longer carries with him a retinue of

arily those of the landlord. The ens
ternary fees are the payment To
avoid feeing is really to cheat the ser
vants, who need all they can get,
heaven knows. A chambermaid at the
.best hotels receives as wages oaly
about two dollars a month. Tipping
servants in America is a regrettable
imitation of the European custom,
without its resting on the reasonable
ibasls of the foreign institutions.
American Chivalry.
Toward women the American man's
attitude is fine. She is neither his
deity nor his doll. He simply treats
her with deference. His chivalry has
as little to do with saccharine utter
ances, scraping feet and bended
knees, as has his patriotism with hys
terical shriekings and the waving of
ensanguined flags. He is stronger in
his silence and apparent submission
to the ladies of his household than the
most blatant vulgarian who prates of
domestic domination. Place aux
Dames is more than a phrase to the
American man. His inborn respect
for her "rights" often causes him to
sacrifice his own God-given privileges.
Upon the face of the earth or upon
the waters thereon, says Minna
Thomas Antrim in Lippincott's, exists
bo more chivalrous being than the
American gentleman.
Again comes a statement going to
show the great access of prosperity
that has come to the farmers of the,
country, notably in the west, from a
succession of big crops. The receipts,
from this source have enabled the
farmers to pay off an enormous;
amount of mortgages and to put great
sums of money in the banks, which?
explains the abundance of funds in
some western quarters and the lack
f need of drawing on the east for a
supply. The latest movement by the
farmers is toward forming a combina
tion, or trust for maintaining and
regulating prices. Is it possible that
the lair of the octopus is to be re
moved from Wall street and other re-.
sorts of high finance and located on
the boundless prairie?

The burning of the art treasures ia

of rare books and pictures impossible
to replace, is a public as well as a
private loss. Of such objects no man

The loss of the manuscript letters re
calls the burning of Major Lambert's
collection of similar treasures in
Philadelphia only a short time ago
Mr. Waaamaker had reason to sup
pose that he had protected the greater
part of his collections by a fire-wall

rest of his house, but the galleries

The amazing thing in connection
with the endless chain system of
prayers, begging letters, etc., which
cause so much annoyance to their re
cipients and to postal authorities is
that anyone can be influenced by the
dread of ill fortune befalling him If he
fails to obey the injunction to con
tinue the chain by writing nine other
letters. The simple and effective way
of stopping the nuisance is for the
recipient to drop all such mail into
the waste basket and then to forget
it

THE DELUGE
(CQ&SXSffT JSQF &&
CHAPTER XXVIII. Continued.
I braced myself for the worst "She
is about to tell me that she is leav
ing," thought L But I managed to
say: "I'm glad to hear of your luck,"
though I fear my tone was not espe
ciailj joyous.
"So," she went on, "I am In a posi
tion to pay back to you, I think, what
my father and Sam took from you.
It won't be enough, I'm afraid, to pay
what.you lost indirectly. But I have
told the lawyers to make it all over
to you."
I could have laughed aloud. It was
too ridiculous, this situation into
which I had got myself. I did not
know what to say. I couw nanny
keep out of my face how foolish this
collapse of my crafty conspiracy made
me feel. And then the futy meaning
of what she was doing came over me
the revelation of her character. I
trusted myself to steal a glance at
her; and for the firsj time I didn't
see the thrilling azure sheen over her
smooth white skin, though all her
beauty was before me, as dazzling as
when it compelled me to resolve to
win her. No; I saw her, herself the
woman within. I had known from the
outset that there was an altar of love
within my temple of passion. I think
that was my first real visit to it
"Anita!" I said, unsteadily. "Anita!"
The color, flamed in her cheeks; we
were silent for a long time.
"You your people owe me noth
ing," 1 at length found voice to say.
"Even if they did. I couldn't and
wouldn't take your money. But be
lieve me. they owe me nothing."
"You cannot mislead me." she an
swered. "When they asked me to be
come engaged to you, they told me
about it"
I had forgotten. The whole repul
sive, rotten business came back to me.
And, changed man that I had become
in the last six months, I saw myself
as I had been. I felt that she was
looking at me, was reading the de
grading confession in my telltale
features.
"I will tell you the whole truth,"
said I. "I did use your father's and
your brother's debts to me as a means
of getting to you. But, before God,
Anita. I swear I was honest with you
when I said to you I never hoped or
wished to win you in thai way!"
"I believe you," she replied, and her
tone and expression made my -heart
leap with indescribable joy.
Love is sometimes most unwise in
his use of the reins he puts on pas
sion. Instead of acting as impulse
commanded, I said clumsily: "And 1
am very different to-day from what I
was last spring." It never occurred
to me bow she might interpret those
words.
"I know," she replied. She waited
several seconds before adding: "I, too,
have changed. I see that I was far
more guilty than you. There is no
excuse for me. I was badly brought
up, as you used to say, but "
"No no " I began to protest
She cut me short with a sad: "You
need not be polite and spare my feel
ings. Let's not talk of it Let us go
back to the object I had in coming
for you to-day."
"You owe me nothing," I repeated.
"Your brother and your father set
tled long ago. I lost nothing through
them. And I've learned that if I had
never known you. Roebuck and Lang
don would -still have attacked me."
"What my uncle gave me has been
transferred to you." said she. woman
fashion, not hearing what she did not
care to heed. "I can't make you ac
cept it; but there it is. and there it
stays."
"I cannot take it," said I. "If you
insist on leaving it in my name, I
sball simply return it to your uncle."
"I wrote him what I had done," she
rejoined. "His answer came yester
day. He approves it"
"Approves it!" I exclaimed.
"You do not know how eccentric he
Is," she explained, naturally misun
derstanding my astonishment She
took a letter from her bosom and
handed it to me. I read:
"Dear Madam: It was yours to do
with as you pleased. If you ever find
yourself In the mood to visit. Gull
"WAS ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT
FROM THE ICE-LOCKED ANITA
OF A SHORT TIME BEFORE."
House is open to you. provided you
bring no maid. I will not have female
servants about Yours truly,
"HOWARD FORRESTER."
"You will consent bow. will you
aot?" she asked, as I lifted my eyes
from this characteristic Bote. '
" l " that her peace of mind was
at stake. "Yes I consent"
She gave a great sigh as at the lay-
ixEBXizoamtNX
ing down of a heavy burden. "Thank
you," was all she said, but she pat a
world of meaning into the words.
She took the first homeward turaiag.
We were' nearly at the house before
I found words that would pave the
way toward expressing my thoughts
my longings and hopes.
"You say you have forgiven me,"
said L "Then we can be friends?"
She was silent and I took her som
ber expression to mean that she
feared I was aiding some subtlety.
"I mean just what I say, Anita," I
hastened to explain. "Friends sim
ply friends." And my manner 'fitted
my words.
She looked strangely at me. "You
would be content with that?" she
asked.
I answered what I thought would
please her. "Let us make the best of
our bad bargain," said I. "You can
trust me now, don't you think you
can?"
She nodded without speaking; we
were at the door, and the servants
were hastening out to receive us.
Always the servants between us.
Servants indoors, servants outdoors;
morning, noon and night, from waking
to sleeping, these servants to whom
we are slaves. As those interrupting
servants sent us each a separate way,
her to her maid, me to my valet I was
depressed with the chill that the op
portunity that has not been seen
leaves behind it as it departs.
"Well," said I to myself by way of
consolation, as I was dressing for
dinner, "she is certainly softening to
ward you. and when she sees the new
house you will be still better friends."
But, when the great day came, I was
not so sure. Alva went for a "private
view" with young Thornley; out of
her enthusiasm she telephoned me
from the very midst of the surround
ings she found 'so wonderful aad so
beautiful" thus she assured me, aad
her voice made it impossible to doubt
And, the evening before the great day,
I going for a final look round, could
find no flaw serious enough to justify,
the sinking feeling that came over me
every time I thought of what Anita
would think when she saw my efforts
to realize her dream. I set out for
"home" half a dozen times at least
that afternoon, before I pulled myself
together, called myself an ass, and.
with a pause at Delmonico's for a
drink, which I ordered and then re
jected, finally pushed myself in at the
door. What a state my nerves were
in!
Alva had departed; Anita was wait
ing for me ia her; sitting-room. When
she heard me in the hall, just outside,
she stood in the doorway. "Come in."
she said to me, who did not dare so
much as glance at her.
I entered. I must have looked as I
felt like a boy, summoned before the
teacher to be whipped In presence of
the entire school. Then I was con
scious that she had my hand how
she had got it I don't know and that
she was murmuring, with tears of
happiness in her voice: "Oh, I can't
say It!"
"Glad you like your own taste." said
I awkwardly. "You know, Alva told
me."
"But it's one thing to dream, and a
very different thing to do." she an
swered. Then, with smiling reproach:
"And I've been thinking all sunnier
that you were ruined! I've been ex
pecting to hear every day that you
had had to give up the fight"
"Oh that passed long ago," said I.
"But you never told me," she re
minded me. "And I'm glad you didn't,"
she added. "Not knowing saved me
from doing something very foolish."
She reddened a little, smiled a great
deal, dazzlingly, was altogether dif
ferent from the ice-locked Anita of a
short time before, different as June
from January. And her hand so in
tensely alive seemed extremely com
fortable in mine.
Even as my blood responded to
that touch, I had a twinge of cynical
bitterness. Yes, apparently I was at
last getting what I had so long, so
vainly, and, latterly, so hopelessly
craved. But why was she giving it?
Why had she withheld herself until
this moment of material happiness?
"I have to pay the rich man's price,"
thought I, with a sigh.
It was in reaching out for some
sweetness to take away this bitter
taste in my honey that I said to her,
"When you gave me that money from
your uncle, you did it to help me out?"
She colored deeply. "How silly you
must have thought me!" she an
swered. I took her other hand. As I was
drawing her toward me, the sudden
pallor of her face and chill of her
hands halted me ouce more, brought
sickeningly before me the early days
of my courtship when she had infuri
ated my pride by trying to be "sub
missive." I looked round the room
that room into which I had put so
much thought and money. Money!
"The rich man's price!" those deli
cately brocaded ' walls shimmered
mockingly at me.
"Anita," said I, "do you care for
me?"
She murmured inaudibly. Evasion!
thought I, and suspicion sprang on
guard, bristling.
"Anita." I repeated sternly, "do you
care for me?"
"I am you wife," she replied, her
heat drooping still lower. And hesi
tatingly she drew away from me. That
seemed confirmation of my doubt aad
I said to her satirically, "You are will
ing to be my wife out of gratitude, to
put it politely?"
She looked straight into my eyes
aad answered, "I can oaly say there is
ao oae I like so well, and I will give
you all I have to give."
"Like!" I exclaimed 'contemptuous-
fly, my nerves giviag way altogether.

waat me to despise .yoa?" I strack

BLACKLOCK OPENS FIRE.
For what I proceeded to do, all
aorta of motives, from the highest to
the basest, have beea attributed to
me. Here is the truth: I had already
pushed the medicine of hard work to
Its limit It was as powerless against
this new development as water
agaiast a drunkard's thirst I must
flad some new, some compelling drug
some frenzy of activity that would
swallow up myself as the battle makes
the soldier forget his toothache. This
confession may chagrin many who
have believed In me. My enemies
will hasten to say: "Aba. his motive
was even more selfish and petty than
was alleged." But those who look at
human nature honestly, and from the
Inside, will understand how I can con
cede that a selfish reason moved me
to draw my sword, and still can claim
a higher motive. In such straits as
were suae, some men of my all-or-none
temperament debauch them
selves; others thresh about blindly,
reckless whether they strike innocent
or guilty. I did neither.
Probably many will recall that long

ized coal combine were Issued, I bad

"fake" four times over-subscription,
indorsed by the two greatest banking
houses in the Street Despite this
oftentried and always-good trick, the
public refused to buy. I felt I had not
been overestimating my power. But I
made no move until the "securities"
began to go up, and the financial re
porters under the influence where
not actually in the pay of the Roebuck-Langdon
clique shouted that,
"in spite of the malicious attacks
from the gambling element the new
securities are being absorbed by the
public at prices approximating their
value." Then But I sball quote my
investors' letter the following morn

"Van Nest used the money yester

means, by making false purchases and

public the impression of eager buying.
Van Nest sold to himself and bought

I confess I was as much astounded
at the effect of my bomb as old Mel
ville must have been. I felt that I
had been obscure, as I looked at the
newspapers, with Matthew Blacklock
appropriating almost the entire front
page of each. I was the isolated, the
conspicuous figure, standing alone
upon the steps of the temple of Mam
mon, where mankind daily and de
voutly comes to offer worship.
Not that the newspapers praised
me. I recall none that spoke well of
me.. The nearest approach to praise
was the "Blacklock squeals on the
Wall Street gang" in one of the sen
sational penny sheets that strengthen
the plutocracy by lying about it
Some of the papers insinuated that
I had gone mad; others that I had
been bought up by a rival gang to the
Roebuck-Langdon clique; still others
thought I was simply hunting noto
riety. All were Inclined to accept as
a sufficient denial of my charges
Melville's dignified refusal "to notice
any attack from a quarter so dis
credited." As my electric whirled into Wall
Street. I saw the crowd in front of
the Textile building, a dozen police
men keeping it in order. I descended
amid cheers, and entered my offices
J through a mob struggling to shake
. 41
hands with me and. iu my ignorance
of mob mind. I was 'delighted and
inspired! Just why a man who knows
men. knows how wisby-wishy they are
as Individuals, should be influenced
by a demonstration from a mass of
them, is hard to understand. But the
fact is indisputable. They fooled me
then; they could fool me again. In
spite of all I have been through.
There probably wasn't one in that
mob for whose opinion I would have
had the slightest respect bad he come
to me alone; yet as I listened to those
shallow cheers and those worthless
assurances of "the people are behind
you. Blacklock." I felt that I was a
man with a mission!
Our main office was full, literally
full, of newspaper men reporters
from morning papers, from afternoon
papers, from out-of-town and foreign
papers. I pushed through them, say
ing as I went: "My letter speaks for
me, gentlemen, and will continue to
speak for me. I have nothing to say
except through it." . .
"But the public " urged one.
"It doesn't interest me," said I. on
my guard against the temptation to
cant "I am a banker and investment
broker. I am interested only in1 my
customers."
And I shut myself in. giving strict
orders to Joe that there was to be no
talking about me or my campaign.
"I don't purpose to let the newspapers
make us cheap and notorious." said I.
"We must profit by the naming in
the fate of all the other fellows who
have sprung into notice by attaching
these bandits."
