currence-indeed, almost a nightly one
at this season of the year; but the man

from the magnificent house on the corner
OF Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue

startled the old commodore had he been
alive to see it. Exactly on the minute a
big brougham, with the lanterns throw
ing bright light far ahead of the horses.
drew up with clatter at the door, and a
footman jumped down, walked with
ponderous dignity up the steps, rang the
bell, turned on his heel, ard took up a
station beside the carriage door. A
second footman opened the door.

aud entered her brougham The coschman

the second footman, the third man or

and motionless as wooden images. The
maid had disappeared. Perhaps half a
minute later Mr.. Vanderbilt, looking
ruddy, rich, corpulent and important.
also appeared at the portiere and swsp-
gered down the steps across the side
walk. He had the air of man who
owns a hundred millions or go, and he
was not ashamed to exhibit it. The foot
man slammed the door, jumped to the
box and the horses started swav. Then
The second man rolled the carpet I'D. re-.
