abs to appreciate what a laughing stock
the colonel's zeal and lack OF saUoir fdtre
combine TO make him oftentimes.
The colonel is fortunate and unfortunate.
He doesn't need newspaper to support
him, having vast independent means. The
contemptuous characterization of him by
the elder Vanderoilt-morallya far inferior
man-to q circle OF his cronies perpetually
hangs over hlIn, discounting what he does
worth doing. Personally he is gallant
man and generous one. His wife, born a
Vanderbilt, has from her independent for

one sort aud another, notably the Young
Women's Christian Association and the
Margaret Doulse Home. Col. Shepard is as

clerical beggars flows through his room In

along the golden sands in its course. Even
the politicians have caught the scent and
make frequent demands on the strength of

promises of personal preferment. For the
colonel is ambitious.
Col. Saepard seems born to keep worse

MYSTERIOUS DISTURBANCES.

How many men drop absolutely out OF
sight in New York every year, disappear
mysteriously, and are never heard Of more,
it would be very difficult to state. But it
would be very respectable number.
Murder never ferreted out ia the simple
explanation that occurs TO a mans friends
and family when an exemplary husband
pattern of all the virtues, correct in his
business habits, suddenly disappears and IL
seen no more. Murder is such an easy and
natural supposition. 1t puts so round and
firm period to conjecture, and is, wthal,
80 merciful TO the absent man. Not by his
fault Is it If some one knocked him on the
head for the sake Of we'll filed wallet.
But it isn't often that murder Is the true
explanation. Some there are who run
away, cowardly skulking from home ties
grown distasteful or fleeing from bust
ness complications. But pure mind fail
ure-forgstfulness-is the cause in so many
cases.
know of man who disappeared without
imaginable cause from home life unusu-
ally happy and a business which had made
him wealthy. No trace Of him whatever
could be gained until he had been gone two
years, when by the merest accident he wa:
found working as day laborer in a dis
tant city. How or why he had gone there
he didn't know. The past was a blank in
his mind. This is favorite idea with the
novelists. but their fiction is never stranger
than the often exempIified truth.
