THE DELUGE
CHAPTER XXXIIIw Continue).
1' Issued a clear statement of the
situation; I showed In minute detail
how itie people 'standing togetaer an-'
der the leadership of the honest men
of property could easily force the big
bandits to consent to. an honest, just,'
rock-founded, iron-built reconstruc
tion. My statement appeared in all
the morning papers throughout the
land. Turn back to it;' read it. Yon
will say that 1 was, right Well
Toward two o'clock Inspector Craw
ford came iato my private ofice, es
corted by Joe. I saw la Joe's seamed,
green-gray face that some new danger
had arisen. "You've got to get out of
this," said he. "The mob ia front of
oar place fills the three streets. It's
made up of crowds turned away from
the suspended banks."
1 rememoerea ine suiien iaces aaa
the hisses as I entered the office that
morning earlier than usual. My win
dows were closed to keep out the
street noises; but now that my mind
was up fromxthB work in which I had
been absorbed, I could hear the sounds
of many voices, even through the thick
plate glass.
"We've got 200 policemen here,"
said the inspector. "Five hundred
more are on the way. But really,
Mr. Blacklock, unless we can get you
away, there'll be serious trouble.
Those damn newspapers! Every one
of them denounced you this morning,
and the people are in a fury against
you."
I went toward the door.
"Hold on, Matt," cried Joe, spring
ing at me and seizing me. "Where
are you going?"
"To tell them what I think of them."
replied I, sweeping him aside. For
my blood was up, 'and I was enraged
against the poor cowardly fools.
"For God's sake t don't show your
self!" he begged. "If you don't care
for your own life. -think of the rest
of us. We've fixed a route through
buildings and under streets up to
Broadway. Your electric is waiting
for you there."
"It won't do," I said. "Ill face 'em
it's the only way."
I went to the window, and was about
to throw up one of the sunblinds
for-a look at them; Crawford stopped
me. "They'll stone the building and
then storm it" 6aid he. "You must
go at once, by the route we've ar
ranged." -
"Even if you tell them I'm gone,
they won't believe if replied I.
, "We can look out for that" said
Joe, eager to save me, and caring
nothing about consequences to him
self. But I had unsettled the
spector.
In.
"
"Send for my electric to come dowa
here," said L "I'll go out alone and
get in it and drive away."
"That'll never do!" cried Joe. ,
But the inspector said: "You'r
right Mr. Blacklock. It's a bare
chance. You may take 'em by' sur
prise. Again, some fellow may yen
and throw a stone and " He did not
need to finish. ;
Joe looked wildly at me. - "Yon
mustn't do it Matt!" he exclaimed.
"You'll precipitate a riot Crawford,
if you permit this."
But the inspector was telephoning
for my electric Then he 'went into
the adjoining room, where he com
manded a view of the entrance.
Silence between Joe and me until he
returned.
"The electric is coming down the
street." said he:
I rose.. "Good." said I. "I'm ready."
. "Wait until the1 other police get
here," advised Crawford.
"If the mob is in the temper yon
describe." said I, "the less that's done
to irritate it the better. I must go out
as if I hadn't a suspicion of danger."
The inspector eyed me with an
expression that was highly nattering
to my vanity. '
Til go with yon," said Joe, start
ing up from his stupor.
"No." I replied. "You and the other
fellows can take the underground
route, if it's necessary."
"It won't be necessary." put In the
Inspector. "As soon as I'm rid of you
and have my additional force, I'll
clear the streets." He went to the
door. "Wait Mr. Blacklock. until I've
had time to get out to my men."
Perhaps ten seconds after he disap
peared I, without further words, put
on my hat lit a cigar, shook Joe's wet,
trembling hand, left in it my private
keys and the memorandum of the
combination of my private vault
Then I sallied forth.
I had always had a ravenous appe
tite for excitement and I had been
in maay a tight place; bat for the
first time there seemed to me to be
an equilibrium .between my laternal
energy aad the outside situation. As
I stepped from my street door and
glanced about me, I had no feeling
of daager. The whole situation
seemed so simple. There stood the
electric, just across the narrow
stretch of sidewalk; there were the
200 police, aader Crawford's orders,
scattered everywhere through the
crowd, and good-naturedly jostling and
pushing to create distraction. WIUh
oat haste, I got Iato my machine. I
calmly net the gase of those thou-,
sands, uiet as so many barrels of
ganpowder before the explosion. The
chaaffear turned the machine.
"Go alow," I called, to ami. "Yoa
might hart somebody." '

leaae front fie window and looked
up at him. It was not my chauffeur;
it was a man who had the unmistak
able but Indescribable marks of the
plain-clothes policeman. v
"Where are you going?" I shouted.
"You'll find out when we arrive,"
he shouted back, grinning.
1 settled myself and waited what
else was there to do? Soon I guessed
we were headed for the pier oS which
my yacht was anchored. As we
dashed on to it I saw that it was
filled with police, both in uniform and
in plain clothes. I descended. A de
tective sergeant stepped up to me.
"We are here to help you to your
yacht," he explained. "You wouldn't
be safe anywhere in New York no
more would the place that harbored
you."
He bad both common sense and
force on his side. I got into the
launch. Four detective sergeanta ac
companied me and went aboard with
me. "Go ahead," said one of them to
my captain. He looked at me for or
ders. "We are in the hands of our guests,"
said L . "Let them have their way."
We steamed down the bay and out
to sea.
From Maine to Texas the cry rose
and swelled:
"Blacklock is responsible! What
does it matter whether he lied or told

world into bankruptcy and civil war."
And they turned eagerly to the very
autocrats who had been oppressing
them. "You have the genius for
finance and Industry. Save us!"
If you did not know, you could
guess how those patriots with the
"genius for finance and industry"- re
sponded. When they had done, when
their programme was in effect, Lang
don, Melville and Updegraft were the
three richest men in the country, and
as powerful as Octavius, Antony- and.
Lepidus after Philippi. They had
saddled upon the reorganized finance
and industry of the nation heavier
taxes thaa ever, and a vaster and
more expensive and more luxurious
army of their parasites. -..
The people had risen for financial
and industrial freedom; they had paid
its fearful price; then, in senseless
panic aad terror, they flung it. away.

who looked on me somewhat as a

me. 'It Included a watch on me 'day

Mr. Blacklock." he said. "Our orders
are positive. But whenvure put in at
New London and send ashore' for fur

"As you please'." said I. And I gave
him a cipher telegram to Joe an or

meant practically my whole fortune.
In -the gilt-edged securities that were
to be had for cash at a small fraction
of their value.
( This on the Monday after Wild
Week, please note. I would have
helped the people to deliver them
selves from the bondage of the ban

would even have sacrificed my all in
trying to save them In spite of them
selves. But what is one sane man
against a stampeded multitude of mani

Copper Will KOI All Germs
'Copper is a marvelous preventive
of disease. If we returned to the old
copper drinking vessels of our fore
fathers typhoid epidemics would dis
appear." The speaker, a filtration expert, took
a copper cent from his pocket
"Examine this cent under the micro
scope," he said, "and you will find it
altogether free- from disease germs.

torting germ mass. Yet copper coins

"They have many cholera epidemics

But why should I seek to Justify

they look up to me because they false

what Crawford had done about 'me,
aad straightway used his influence to
have me detained until the hew grip
of the old .gang was secure. ' Saturday
afternoon we put in at Newport for
the daily comunlcation with the shore."
When the launch returned, Mulholland
brought the papers to, me, lounging'
aft in a mass of cushions under the
awning. "We are going ashore," said
he. "The order has come."
I had a suddea sense of loneliaesa.
"Ill take you down to Xew York,"
said I. "I prefer to land my guests
where I shipped them:"
As we steamed slowly westward I
read the papers. The country was
rapidly readjusting itself, was return-
ring to $he conditions before the up
heaval. The "financiers" the same
old gang, except for a few of the
weaker brethren ruined aad a few
strong outsiders, who had slipped In
during the confusion were employing
all the old. familiar devices for deceiv
ing and robbing the people. The up
set milking-stool was righted, aad the
milker- was seated again nd busy, the
good old cow standing without so
much, as shake of horn or switch of
tail. "Mulholland," said I, "what do
you think of this business of living?"
"I'll tell you. Mr. Blacklock." said
he. "I used to fuss and fret a good
deal about it. But I don't any more.
I've got a house up in the Broax. and
a bit of land round it And there's
Mrs. Mulholland and four little Mulhol
lands aad me that's my country and
my party and my religion. The rest
is off my beat, and I don't give a
damn for it. f I don't care which fakir
gets to be president or which swin
dler gets to be rich. Everything
works out somehow, and the bear
any man en do is to mind his own
business."
' "Mulholland Mrs. Mulholland four
little Mulhollands." said I, reflectively.
"That's about as much as one man
could attend to properly. And you
are 'on the level,' aren't you?"
"Some say honesty's the best pol
icy," replied he. "Some say it isn't
I don't know, and I don't care, wheth
er It is or it isn't It's my policy.
And we six seem to have got along
on it so far."
I sent my "guests" ashore the next
morning.
"No, I'll stay aboard." said I to
Mulholland, as he stood aside tor me
to precede him . down the gangway
from the launch. I went into the
watch-pocket of my trousers and drew
out the folded two Sl.OOO-bills I always
carried it was a habit formed in my
youthful, gambling days. I handed
him one of the bills. He hesitated.
"For the four little Mulhollands," I
urged.
He put it in his pocket I watched
him and his men depart with a heavy
heart I felt alone, horribly alone,
without a tie or an interest Some
of the morning papers spoke respect
fully of me as one ot the strong men
who had ridden the' flood and had
been landed by it on the heights of
wealth and power. Admiration and
envy lurked even in sneers at my
"unscrupulous plotting." Since I had
wealth, plenty of wealth. I did not
need character. Of what use was
character in such a world except as
a commodity to exchange for wealth?
"Any orders, sir?" interrupted my
captain.
1 looked round that vast and vivid
scene of sea and land activities. I
looked along the city's titanic sky-line
the mighty fortresses of trade and
commerce piercing ' the heavens and
flinging to the wind their black ban
ners of defiance. I felt that I was
under the walls of hell itself.
"To get away from this." replied I
to the waiting captain. "Go back
down the Sound to Dawn Hill."
Yes. I wolild go to the peaceful,
soothing country, to my dogs and
horses and those faithful servants
bound to me by our common love for
the same animals. "Men to cross
swords with, to amuse oneself with,"
I mused; "but dogs and horses to
live with." I pictured myself at the
kennels the joyful uproar the instant
instinct warned the dogs of my com
ing: how they would leap and bark
and tremble in a very ecstasy of de
light as I stood among them; how
jealous all the others would be, as I
selected one to caress.

THAW BACK TO JAIL.
New York Hopelessly divide J
for a verdict ef guilty ef mur
der m the first degree and five for
aeqaittal on the ground ef Insanity
the jary which since January 23 last
had been trying Harry Thaw, reported
Friday after' forty-seven hears ane
eight minutes ef deliberation that R
count not aeasiMy-agree-en n verdict
The twelve men were promptly dis
charged by Justice fltageraU. whe.
eclared that be. too, believed their
task was hopeless. Thaw was re
manded to the Tombs without bail to
await a second trial en the charge of
having murdered Stanford White.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District At
torney Jerome declared there were
many other persona accused of homi
cide awaiting trial' and Thaw would
have to take his turn with the rest
As to a possible change of venue, both
the district attorney and counsel for
Thaw declared they would make no
such move. Thaw's attomeya will
have a conference Saturday with the
prisoner to decide on their next step.

for bail. Mr. Jerome said he would
strenuously oppose it He added the
belief that as seven of the jurors urt
voted for "guilty" his opposition prob
ably would be successful. In that

before him in the city prison, far his
case on the already crowded criminal
calendar cannot possibly be reached
uatil some time next fall.

ment by the jury of the inability to

ism by the general belief that after'
their long deliberation aad the reports
of a wide division of sentiment the
jurors coula make no ether report
than one of disagreement
Thaw, surrounded by the members
of his family, received the news In
absolute silence. When It became
known that the jury waa about to
make its report Thaw called his wife
to n seat by his side aad sat with his
right arm thrown about her until he
was commanded to stand and face the
jurors. Smiliag and confident as he
entered the court room, he sank limply
Iato his chair when Foreman Demiag

Clerk Penny, as to whether a verdict
had been agreed upon, said: "We
have not"
