Tramlay hurried to his Office, after the
briefest Of leave takings, and Marge began to
conduct Phil about New York. Soon, how
ever, there developed marked difference of
taste between visitor and guide. Marge
wanted to show the young man the Stock
Exchange, which to the many minds compos-
ing very large class has no rival attraction
except the various institutions on Blackwell's
Island; Phil exhibited abject ignorance and
Indifference regarding the Stock Exchange,
but Wanted to 60 through the suPtreasury
and assay ofiee-two buildings in which
Marge had never been. MaTge made special
Zip e sh52g the young man MAJ. the outside of
Jay Gogid's Office, but PHI Identified Trinity
church from pictures he had seen, and wanted
to make patriotic tour of the tombs of dis
tinguished men Of the revolutionary period.
Marge offered to introduce Phil to Russell
Sage, but was amazed TO learn that the young
man had never heard of that distinguished
individual When, however, Gen. Hancock,
passing by, was casually pointed out by
Marge Phil stopped short and stared respect
fully Marge showed the Field building, but
through the trees in front Phil correctly sur
missed he saw Castle Garden, and desired at
once to go there and be made acquainted with
the method of receiving and distributing i'm
migrants.
On the Produce Exchange they fairly agreed,
Marge admitting thatin Importance it ranked
next TO the Stock Exchange, while Phil was
able to regard 1t as a great business neces,
sity. Pretending to search, by Pills request,
for the building i'll which Washington babe
farewell to his generals, Marge succeeded in
getting back through Broad street to the
vicinity of the Stock Exchange, where he
tried to atone for his failure by pointing out
through a window the head of Mr.. Henry
Clews; but Phil had no eyes except for the
statue of Washington, standing, as he knew,
on the site of the first presidents first inua-
gural. The two men exhibited equal interest
on half a dozen successive occasions in 'stock
tickers, which Marge seemed to know how to
find in all sorts of places; but, while Marge
looked over the quotations on the tape, Phil
studied the machinery of the indicator itself.
The strain upon Marge became almost too
great for his self control, and he breathedsa
sigh of relief when Trinity's clock struck
three. To have left the vicinity of the Stock
Exchange earlier would never have occurred
to him, but promptly on the strokeihe hurried
Phil to an elevated railway station and up
town to a stable where he had his horse and
wagon brought out and took Phil for drive
in Central park. Probably there he thought
he could be entertained after his own manner,
for he had the reins. Driving out Fifth
avenue, the two men really became congenial
for a little while for Phil understood horses,
and Marge's horse was good one, and Phil
admired him and knew of a good horse that
would match him nicely, and Marge saw
prospect Of making team that he could sell
at a large profit, and Phil promised to ar
range that Marge should come out and see
the horse.
But even this conversation was broken
when Marge pointed out the late residence
of A. T. Stewart, for Phil insisted upon
moralizing on riches. In the park he asked
questions about statues, and about trees and
shrubs that were new to him and equally I'M
known to Marge, as well as utterly unin-
teresting; Phil also wanted a number of
facts and figures about the reservoir in the
park, and was with difficulty restrained from
spelling the drive by visiting the menagerie.
Finally, when he demanded the exact sites of
the various engagements on Manhattan
Island between the British and Washington,
after the latter had been forced to evacuate
what then was New York, Marge abruptly
turned and drove homeward, confessing
without the faintest show of shame, but
rather with defiance, that he knew absolutely
nothing about those times. And when the
drive ended and the couple separated, the
elder mans face broke from its customary
calm as he muttered to himself:
