THE WOMAN OF-jJg FUTURE ,
nobert Uarr lrj0'3ii | ' } Idler.
Mr , Madax sat beforq , , desk In a most
despondent attitude , hlfyliflid In his hands
and his hands In his ha $ ] { | Thlngs were go *
Ing badly In the city , av ljsl they often do.
Mr. Madax WAS alone rlitu ls ofllco In Old
Gold alley. Ita wanted , . Mme to think and
had given orders that l\ewas ; not to be dis
turbed. All the thinking -ho appeared oblo
to do did not seem to htli ) > matters , so at
last he pulled himself tegslher and paced up
and down the room. FWafly he stopped nnd
said to himself , "That ems to bo the only
thing to do. I shall consult with my wlfo.
I wish she came home moro frequently , nnd
then wo could talk over these matters. "
lie , seized a telegraph blank and wrote :
"Sirs. John Madax , 20 Bullion Court , City :
Can you run over to Old Gold alley for a
few mlnules ? I wish to consult you on busi
ness , Madax. "
He rang the bell for n telegraph boy , and
sent the message J then paced up and down
his room again , waiting for his wlfo to ap
pear. Instead there came a prompt answer ,
which he tore open ttnd road feverishly :
"Sorry I can't come this forenoon. Too
busy. Call on me at 1 o'clock , nnd I will
take you to the club , where we can lunch
and have a quiet talk. Joan Madax. "
Th'o worried man consulted his watch. It
was not yet 11. It would bo moro than two
hours before he could see his wife. Ho sat
down at his desk and devoted himself for
thpsd two hours to what business there was
In hand. Then ho brushed himself up a bll ,
took Ills walking stick and drove In a han
som to his wife's offices In Bullion court.
After having sent In his name , a neat little
girl showed him Into n room and told him
that Mrs. Madax would be with him pres
ently. She was fcorry to keep him waiting ,
but she sent a copy of The Sketch for him
to look over during the Interval. The Sketch
started In the nineteenth century
was a paper
tury and was at that time considered to be
rather In advance of other slow-going week
lies. Now , however , It was thought to be
to read although
the correct paper for a man ,
though the women paid llttlo attention to U.
In the reception room two or three other
men were waiting , nursing their hats. Pres
ently the olllce girl came In and told them
all , except Madax , that Mrs. Madax couldn t
slbly see them until later In the Uajr , as
po would they be
and
she had an appointment ;
good enough to call about 4 o 'clock. So the

her and smiled. Someh&W her Influence
had a soothing , protective air about it ,
which made the man feelr he was not bat

numerous girl clerks came In with a long
ulster , which Mrs. Madax put on , thrusting
one hand in the nrmhole and then the other ,
while the girl held the .garment . by the
collar. When Mrs. Madasi had buttoned up
the ulster and put n jaunty , round , hard

whereupon he stepped Inside.
"To the Pine Ear club , " said the lady to
the coachman.
She took her seat beside her husband and
the carriage drove off toward the west end.

Pine Kar club , the sumptuous resort of
women engaged Jn business In thb clly. It I *
higher priced thai ! the Carlton or IMorm ,
but U much more luxurious than cither o (
these otd-fashloncd men clubs.
"Call Tor mo at 3:30. : " said the lady.
The stately doors ot the club were opened
by two girl parlors and the couple entered.
The lady wrote her husband's naino In a book
which was on a stand In the hull and to
gether they entered the large dining room ,
where they took their places nt ono of the
small tables set ( or two near ono of the
large front windows.
"Wo wlU take the regular club lunch , "
slm snd | to ono ot the waiters. "And bring'
n bottle of 'SI champagne a large bottle. "
"I I don't think I care for champagne , "
s.iId Mndax , hesitatingly. "It gives mo n
headnchc. "
"Nonsense , " cried hit wife ; "n glass or
two will do you gocd. You look worried. "
"I am worried and tliat Is what I wished
to s * o you nbout. "
"Well , wo won't talk business during
lunch- you please" adding , ns she leaned
back In , her chair. "It's a habit I neier Indulge -
dulgo In , It's bad for one. Wo can have a
talk In the 'smoking ' room afterward. How
are the children ? "
"Very well , thank you. The girl Is a lUUe
hard on the boy and knocks him nbout a bit ,
but they are Retting on very well. "
' 'Poor ' little fellow , " sold MM. Madax.
' 'Boys are such n worry to their parents
When ona thinks that they have to encounter
this wOrld rtlono. I must run down and see
them next week If I can. "
"Iwish > you would , " said Madax , "tho
children mss you very much. Why don't
you cothe home 'oftcner ? "
' 'Will , very sobn I expect to be nblo to do
BO , " she replied , "bul , like you , I have a
great deal on my mind at present and the
market-requires close watching. "
"Can't you como homo with mo tonight ? "
he'1 asked. "The children would bo so pleased
lo see "you. "
"No " she " take Sir
, answered , "I have to
Caesar Camp oul to dinner tonight. "
"Tonibrrow night , then ? " ho suggested ,
deprecatlngly.
"No , " said the lady , shaking her head ,
"It's worse still tomorrow night. I have a
lot of stock brokers dining with mo at the
Holborn. "
"It must cost you a. lot ot money , thcso
dinners on every night. "
"Yes , It does , " said Mrs. Madax ; "but my
experience Is , If you want to make n good
business deal "with a man you must flrst feed
him well. I always sco that the wines are
Irreproachable. I will say ono thing for the
men. that they always know good wlno when
they taste it. "
"Well , " said Madax , "I will tell the chil
dren that you send your love to them ; but
I think , you know , that a woman shouldn't
lese sight of her children , even though busi
ness Is absorbing. "
She urged him to take his share of the
champagne , but Madax declined , saying : "A
man must keep his head clear for business
nowadays. "
"Yes , " said his wife , "I suppose a man
must. "
There was a slight tinge of sarcasm In her
voice , and she put unnecessary emphasis on
the noun. Madax looked grieved , but said
nothing. How often do women In their
thoughtless rudeness cause pain to the ten
der hearts of those who love them I
After lunch was over Mrs. Madax led the
way upstairs to the private smoking room
which she had reserved for their use. It was
In a corner of the club building , overlooking
a bit of the river and commanding a view of
Charing Cross railway bridge.
"We will be qulto undisturbed here , " she
said , "and can talk business. "
Hinging a bell to give an order , she asked
her husband :
"What will you drink ? "
"Nothing , thank you , " ho replied , but
added afterwards , "I will have a glass of
milk and soda , If you can get it. "
"You will smoke , of course , " said his wlfo.
"A cigarette. " answered Madax.
When the waiter appeared Mrs Madax
said : "Bring a glass of milk and soda , some
of the best Egyptian cigarettes , two Havana
cigars and a glass of special Scotch with
seltzer. "
When these materials were brought and
the waiter had disappeared. Mrs. Madax
walked to the door and turned the key In It.
Her.husband lit his cigarette from the
match she held out to him , and then , biting
the end from her own cigar , she began to
smoke. She thrust her two hands deep
down In her pockets and began to pace up
and down the room.
"Now , John , " she cried , "what's the
trouble ? "
Mr. Madax's name was Billy , but every
body called him John because his wife's
name was Joan. Mr. John Madax was the
name he was known by.
"Some months ago , " began Mr. Madax ,
"I went Into a wheat deal , and I don't qulto
see my way out , "
Mrs. Madax stopped In her pacing , and
faced her husband in surprise.
"A wheat deal ? " she cried. "Which side
of the market are you on ? "
"Oh , I'm on for a rise. "
His wife made a gesture of despair and
began walking up and down the room again.
"What , In heaven's name , did you buy for
a rise for ? "
"Well , " said Madax , very humbly , "you
see , the American wheat crop had practi
cally failed and I thought I was pretty sure
of a rise. "
"Why didn't you speak to me about It ? "
she cried , .
Her husband flushed uneasily.
"I wanted to do something off my own
bat , " he said. "Of course , I had no Idea at
that tlmo there would be a corner In wheat. "
"Corner ! " she cried contemptuously.
"There's always a corner , there's bound to
be a corner. Don't you know enough not to
look to the United States nny more for indi
cations of the wheat market ? India and the
Baltic hold the key to the situation. "
"Yes , I know ; at least I know now , " He
said , "but there Is no use In upbraiding me
to.- what I have done. I am up to the neck
In wheat , and the signs today are that it Is
going lower than ever. Now , what would
you advlso mo to do , Joan ? "
"Oh , advlso you ! " she crlod. "What's
the use of coming to me when it Is too late ?
I advise you to get out of It as cheaply as
you can. "
Her husband groaned.
"I nm afraid , " ho said , " "that will mean
practical ruin now. "
"Well , my opinion Is that wheat Is going
lower still. "
"Thon It Is utter ruin for me , " said Madax ,
dejectedly.
Mrs. Madax stopped once more In her pac
ing the room , and confronted her husband.
"John , " she said , "why don't you give up
your office In the city and go homo and take
care of the children ? "
A spark of resentment appeared In the
man's eyes as ho gazed at his wife.
"I don't want to be entirely dependent on
you , " he said at last.
"Pooh , " said his wlfo , and then she
added , "I will make you a handsome allow
ance for housekeeping , and as much as you
want besides , You are worrying yourself
to death about business. You ought to take
a run to Brighton , or go oft to Monte Carlo ,
nnd plyg up bothering nbout city affairs. "
The mat ) sighed.
"That's all very well , but you don't see
that I want to mnko some money for my
self. "
'But ' you are not making It , you're losing
It. You say you are up to the neck ; how
much does that mean ? "
"Twenty-five thousand pounds , " he said
with a sigh.
"Dear , dear , " she said , "and I stipposo
that Is all tha money you have ? "
"It Is moro than all the money I have , "
ho answered ,
"I wish you hadtspoken to mo before ; It
Is too late now. Don't you see that ? "
"Yes , but I had something to propose.
You spoke of taking Sir Caesar Camp to
dinner. Now , 1 don't know what you want to
get Jilm In on , but I do know that I could get
him on my side of the wheat deal and ho
would bring In others. Then wo might be
able to stop the break In the market. "
Mrs , Madax's eyes sparkled as she looked
down at her husband.
"Can you really do all that ? " she asked
breathlessly ,
"Yes , If I had any assurance that wo would
get out with a little proflt. It seems to ma
that all tlinlr Influence thrown In on our lilda
ot tbo market would glvo us rise enough to
get out of the hole at least. "
"Oh , said hla wlte , "that Is n different mat-
ter. I didn't know you had any plans. Yes , "
she added , after thinking a moment with
knitted brows , "that's a first rate Idea. How
much money do you think It would nil total
up to ? "
"About a million. " said Madax , pleased to
see. that he was getting moro attention than
censure ,
"A million , " said his wife , moro to her
self than to him. ' 'Aro you certain you
could get nil that amount 'on your side of
the market ? "
"Quito certain. "
Mrs. Madax , as she continued her.pacing
up and down , seemed to bo making some
menial calculation. She finally asked :
"Who are you running against ? Who Is
nt the head of the corner ? "
"Oh , that , " said Madax , "none of us
knows. The business Is done through the
Toklo nnd Jnmborco bank , but we don't know
who IS behind It. "
"Now , doesn't It strike you that the flrst
thing for you to do Is to find out who you
are butting against ? If It's if'stone wall
the sooner you know It the better , so that
you can stop before your head gets hurt.
It It's a hedge yon might manage to get
through. It would have been my first work
to find out who \ \ s against mo. "
"But , " said her husband , "didn't I tell
you that I didn't know there was anybody on
the other side of the market. "
"Oh , " said his wife , Impatiently , "you can
always count on somebody being on the other
sldo of the market. So you can't find out
who It lai'
"Wo can't , " said her husband.
"Very well , " she said. "Now listen to
me. You have got 25,000 In this ,
nnd It yon can get nil the
money of Slr'Caciar and his friends to help
you , I will guarantee that you will como out
with double that Is , 50,000. "
"Do you mean It ? " cried her husband ,
eagerly.
"I mean It , " said his wife , solemnly.
"And may I tell Sir Caesar that you said
eo ? " he asked.
"No ; whatever Infoimatlon I wish Sir
Caesar to hava I will glvo him myself. You
will tell him that you have had private In
formation nnd are not allowed to mention the
dealer's name. "
"Very good , " said Madax , with nn Intense
relief In Ills face.
"Do not let It get out , " continued the wife.
"Uso all your force and see If you can raise
the market , nnd as soon as the price gets up
sell out nt once. Have all your plans made
for selling out. Promptness Is the thing In
these matters. Now I must go. I will drop
you down at your ofllco. "
Mr. Madax knew \vlmt Ms wlfo said about
the markets generally came true , so he , In
great Jubilation , telegraphed Sir Caesar Camp
and others to meet him nt his ofllce. nnd
they did so. Ho told hint that ho had pri
vate Information about the market , nnd , after
some slight hesitation , they all went In. He
arranged with them that the sale would be
made at once after the rise.
Next day It was announced that n million
of money was put aialnst the corner , and
wheat sprang up a few points , but not as
much ns they had expecCcd It would. Madax
could have sold out without loss , but saw
that ho would not double his money , for the
corner was stronger than any of them had
thought. But after the slliht ; rise , down
went the price of wheat again. The very
bottom seemed to have dropped out of the
market. Madax's 25,000 were swept out of
sight , and so was the million that his de
luded friends had put In with him. All con
fidence that Madax had put In his wife had
now departed , so he merely telegraphed to
her that ho was ruined , and went homo a
broken man.
About S o'clock that night a carriage drove
up to the. door , and his wlfo sprang out and
let herself into the house with her latch key.
When she entered the room , her husband
never looked up , but she crossed to where
ho sat , and patted him gleefully on the back.
"Come , come , my poor Infant. Cheer up ! "
she said.
Madax's only answer was n groan of an
guish.
"And so your little twenty-five thousand
has gene with the rest ? " she said.
"You told me I would double my money , "
ho said , "and I believed you. "
"Of course you belluved me , nnd hero It
is , " she said , taking a check from her purse ,
"There's my check for 50,000 , so you have
doubled yotir money "
"What do you mean by that ? " said her
husband , looking up.
"Mean ? You poor child 1 I mean that I
am the head of the corner. It doesn't matter
now who knows It. That Was tle ( reason
that I had Sir Caesar and the others dining
with me. I had no Idea that you v.ere In on
the other side , and When you told me that
you could get them to assist'It seemed too
good to be true ; for I did want that million.
Husbands are of some use , after all. Now ,
my boy , you take that check nnd go down
to Monte Carlo. I may bo able to go after
all this work Is over. I am very much
obliged to you. for the million you threw In
my way , and consider it cheap at 50,000.
Draw on me for all your expenses while you
are at Monte Carlo. I am sure you will find
the tables much less expensive lhan the
London wheat market. I am sorry that I
can't stay with you , but I am on for a din
ner In the city , ' . Those who were with me In
the wheat corner are giving mo a dinner to
night and I am duo there at 9 o'clock. I am
sorry I can't wait to see the children. Give
them my love and tell them I will run down
In a few days and pay them a visit that Is ,
unless you take them with you to Monte
Carlo. It must be lovely down there Just
now. Well , ta-ta. Take care of yourself and
your check. I may see you at Monte Carlo. "
And with that she lett the room and was
waving goodbye from the carriage window ,
as the dazed man stood watching her through
the open door , before ho had quite realized
the situation.
USING PEAT AS FUEL.
Some Minnesota People Trying to Got Out
of tno Coal Illne'a ClutclioH.
ThO" high price of coal , and the severe
weather , which has set In unusually early ,
has made the matter of fuel a burning ques
tion In moro than ono sense , says the St.
Paul Globe , particularly Inasmuch as the cost
of fuel for each person per annum is about
thrco times as great as the cost ot broad or
flour for each person during the same time.
The total aggregate of money sent out of the
state for coal would bo a surprising flguro
U it were known , and perhaps does amount
to more than the money received by our
state for our surplus wheat. If the money
thus sent out of the state , or a good portion
of it , could be kept nt home and usd to
employ our own people. It would certainly
bo of great value to the state , and would
well repay the trouble taken In Introducing
It. Peat Is very extensively used In Uuropa
wherever obtainable. In some districts It
almost excludes every other fuel. It Is

Jlcftt IUlUIr MU .SUIIIK Of
fered fur the Secret.
The latest sensation In all military clrclci
of Kuropo Is the bullet-proof coat , which hat
recently been tested by n number of army
experts. The Inventor , Hotnrlch Done , U
being latkcd about more than any other man
In the old world at present. The United
States government Is also much Interoslcd
In Iho developments ot these experiments ,
and the war olllco wilt receive full report !
from their representatives of the various
tests made. -
Ilcrr Uowo has spent several years In
perfecting Ibis new armor , nnd now seems
to have brought It to the highest perfec
tion. He caused some toils to bo mndo last
fall , but these did not prove very successful
and the German government did not pay
much attention to the iriattcr. Though very
poor , Dowo was not to bo discouraged , bul !
kept on alternately making his Improve-
incuts on his Invention and working at his
trndo as a tailor. In 'tho earlier part ot
March this year ho had his bullet-proof coat
tested on n semi-private shooting range near
Dorlln. A largo number of people were presJ
cut , chlelly newspaper men , mllllary olllcera
and representatives from the various German
gun clubs. In order to thoroughly demon
strate Uio resisting power of the coat , the
same rllles were used against three-Inch
planks nnd steel plates. The targets were
placed nt n distance of G75 feet. Several of
the best makes of rllles were used , nmuiif ;
them the Mauser. Martini nud Wlncho ter ,
though the smaller caliber Infantry rifle.
Known ns "model 88 , " Svas used Iho most.
The targets , made ot steel find wire plates
two-fifths of an Inch In thickness , backed
by three Inches of wood , \\ero perforated
with ease. After this hail been proved n
wooden dummy covered with the bullet
proof coat was put up , and after receiving
not less than fifteen shots was found lo bo
without a mark , all the bullets having
burled themselves In the composition of Iho
coat without penetrating It once. All pres
ent were highly pleased with the result ,
nnd llcrr Dowo was warmly congratulated
oji his success.
THCV SHOOT AT TUB MAN.
Hut It was two weeks ago that the In
ventor achieved his grealcst success. Ho
had Interested Count Schouvnloff of the Hu3-
slan embassy in his Invention , and this gen
tleman said he would like to make a test ;
provided the tailor would wear the coat
while being shot at. To th's Dowo unhes
itatingly consented , and the test was made
before a brilliant gathering cf mllllary men.
The experlmenls were of Hie most searching
nnd tovcro order , nnd after revolvers had
been used on the Invulnerable tailor , rllles
were brought Into action. As a preliminary
experiment , n few shots were fired nt a block
of solid oak , wh ch was pierced by the bul
lets , and the bast made steel cuirasses were
shot through as If they had been made of
paper. After this had been done Dowo again
donned hla bullet-proof coat and Invited
the count and his friends to blaze away. It
was Indeed very exciting while the rifle
( one of thu most approved patterns used In
the Germany army ) , was being aimed at tha
tailor. The spectalors were strung to nn
extreme slate of nervousness and Instinct
ively closed their eyes In anticipation of
seeing Dowo Killed. IJut after the report
of the rifle rang out1 and ic.e tailor
was seen standing , , apparently unhurt ,
there was a feeling of relief among all
present. Dowo keenly enjoyed their
anxiety nnd fairly boomed with satisfac
tion as ho shouted : "Klro again , you cannot
hurt me ! " A bullet was then fired from
n AVInchester rlflo directly over hla heart ;
but did no more harm than If It had been
a spllball. The festlvo lallor was absolutely
unhurt and all the bullets were found Im
bedded In the bullet-proof coat.
A second series of experiments was then
commenced , which proved fully as Interest
ing as the flrst. It Is proposed that the cav
alry of the future shall bo protected by thd
wonderful material Invented by the tailor of
Mannheim , ho a horse was equipped with rt
bullet-proof coat. A number of shots werfl
llred at the animal , but they did not sosm
to annoy the equine half so much as an equal
number of self-respecting horse flies would.
The beabt kept munching his oats tn blissful
serenity while the rlllo balls "plunked"
themselves harmlessly Iri1 the wonderful o.at.
Herr Dowo Is overjoyed with the results
of these many experiments and received tha
congratulations of Count Schouvnlolf , the
army officers and others who had wltnessc-1
these conclusive proofs of the merits of his
Invention. To a question from n naval
officer present If this armor could be suc
cessfully applied to war vessels Dowe re
plied that any vessel .provided with a sheet
ing of his bullet-proof material would become
Impenetrable to the heaviest guns of the
modern Ironclad ? . This may sound n little
bombastic , but seeing that ho has carried
out his theory In regard to a bnllet-proot
coat for soldiers he might evolve something
equally successful for. covering war ships.
HOW TUB COAT LOOKS.
Dowo has placed the coat ho were while
being fired upon on exhibition , as well as
the solid pieces of oak which were pene
trated by bullets that were harmless against
his coat. The new garment looks some
thing like ordinary army clothing material ,
the resisting secret substance being placed
beneath the outsldo cloth. It Is shaped like
a brcast-plalo and can be fastened to the
side buttons of a soldier's uniform. It Is
only to bo used In actual warfare and
weighs about flvo pounds. The Inventor Is
not willing to explain anything relative to
the process of the manufacture of his bullet
proof material , but only says that It Is ex
tremely simple to manufacture and costs a
mere trifle compared with other armor.
There seems to bo no longer any room for
doubt that the armor Is all Its Inventor
claims for It , n.id that ho Is justified In re
fusing tl.e numerous princely offers made to
him by army contractors nnd others who
are desirous of purchasing his secret. Since
his successful exhibition of Iho invulnerable
coat Dowo has been the object of universal
attention , not only from the press , bill ulio
from the public at large. Ho has been
overwhelmed by a perfect avalanche of let
ters of the most varied nature. Ono fair ,
sentimental writer offers to bo a , mother to
his children , ho being a widower. Another ,
more practical , offers herself In marriage ,
provided hli Invention really proves a success
cessAn Austrian aski that ho be per
mitted to become the target at the next ex
hibit , stipulating , howtvur. that the shooters
are to I'n experts , and not sand a bullet
through his head. Another writer , n re
tired officer , predicts that through this
marvelous discovery universal peace will be
the consequence. All nations will abandon
WPI uro now that bullets can bo made pow-
crlesi , th'lnks tills venerable old soldier ,
Museum managers and shawmun In gen
eral have not been slow to recognize what
nn attraction a bullet-proof coal would
provo to the over novolty-hiingcrlng musses.
Herr Done has had Innumerable Haltering
offers , some as high as $1,000 n month front
such men , stipulating that ho consent to
bo the living target whllo showing the In
vulnerable qualities of his now coat.
THE UMI'KUOn OHDL'RB A TI3ST.
Emperor \Vllhclm has ordered a test to
bo mudo In his presence on his return from
Italy. The bullet-proof material will then
bn put to additional testa and should they
prove as successful ns the former ones H
Is supposed that Dowe will receive an
enormous order for supplying the German
army with his new armor. In any event It
Is pretty certain that his fortune Is made ,
considering tha many orders he has had for
coats of this peculiar imike.
