A Reliable Port Wine,

Mr.. A. Speer, of New Jersey, whose
Port Grape wine has such wide rep
utation, and which physicians prescribe
so generally, was the first in this country
to import Port Wine Grape vines from
the banks of the River Doura, in Port
ugal, where the finest old time ports
were made, and to plant vineyards of
them in New Jersey. His Port, Bur-
gundy and Claret, which are now the
best wines to be had, become great
favorite among the fashionable New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
society. Druggists sell it.

of it as could struggle down between

man has sensitive soul.
At nine o'clock many of the down
town streets recognize the fact that the
day is done. They give to the solitary
wanderer powerful impression OF rest,
but it is very different from that Of
sleeping woods and fields. The slumber
OF the city is oppressed. The air is
heavy like that Of close room; and the
grumble of traffic in streets that are
only half asleep resembles the groans of
an uneasy dreamer whom the cares of

powerfully conscious of the offensive
character of fork with bow~legged
prongs and knife with a sticky handle.
The distinction between oleomargarine
and butter now for the first time stood
out as wide as the mouth of the pit.
He was made by these things tho
more determined to persevere and
escape them. And the food, coarse as
it vas, brought a feeling OF confidence
He consumed thirty cents worth of it,,
and then approached the sharp-faced
female at the cashiers desk, to whom he
gave the half dollar. He grieved to
think that his dinner would make such
a big hole In it. But there was already
a hole in it, which was far more griev-
Gus, and because OF which the keen
eyed cashier rejected it altogether. The
half dollar was plugged.

| shine for the dissemination Of chewing
gum. The action was part Of his as
suned character, and so was the cor
diality OF the accompanying feeling, II
he had only known 1t.
He walked out OF the restaurant and
leaned against building which cost q
million dollars. Then he looked across
the way at another Of equal magnif1-
cence, and reflected that he hadn't :
cent in the world. He tried to estimate
the value of the land they stood upon,
and wondered whether he had ever had
money enough to buy lot with two
feet frontage and six feet depth for a
grave.
But these gloomy speculations were
merely the first fruits of his penniless
condition The influence of new ideas
and good meal triumphed over de-
spondency. Already he was working
out the details Of scheme full Of novel
experiences and large profits. Gilbert
Ray had begun life with borrowed
| hundred dollars, and was worth mill
ions. Would not smaller initial loan
answer for a man with moderate expect
atoms? II money could be made to
grow at ALL why not indefinitely; and,
il SO, what practical difference did it
make how small the start was? Hc did
not know anybody who would lend him
hundred dollars, but he thought he
could borrow quarter somewhere.
With that in hand, he might borrow q
half dollar; pay the quarter; and then
borrow a dollar TO pay the half. The
possibility Of such progression evil
IDENTIFY depended upon the careful use OF
each successive loan. and ii the series
were carried far enough it would end in
riches and an established credit. ST..
| The wine of the Cafe Napoleon must
| have been strong, for the scheme looked
| plausible to him. lie Immediately be-
gan to run over the list Of his acquaint-
ances in order to select the man who
should furnish the first loan. Russell
| had never been q borrower; in fact he
! could not remember when he had asked
| such a favor OF anybody. But he had
often lent money, and that ought to give
him an advantage. He made out list
of ten men whom he had frequently sup
| piled with lunch~money during the last
six years. TO the best Of his recollec-
ton they were all indebted to him for
| certain forgotten loans but he resolved
not to make any claim upon them for
past fayors.
If Russell had known more about tho
subject he would have chosen any ten
| men in the world rather than these.
The more money one lends to man,
the less one can borrow of him. So 1T

called upon nine Of these men and had
found them all unable to accommodate

knows that the chances are ten to one

CHAPTER Nv.
THE OFFER OF A FRIEND.


An hours walk brought Russell to his
own door-or, to be exact, to the door
which his landlady hired of the lawyer
who managed the estate of the man who
in life had owned the building. He was
surprised to see that u light was burning
in his room, and to find, upon entering,
that his return had been anxiously
awaited by almost the only person in
the world to whom he knew that he was
really something more than a face and q
name. That the current of friendly
feeling between the two men did not
pass with equal force each way was
Russells fault alone. His gloomy and
mechanical way of life had shut out
friendship from his heart. He had been
too self-centerd, too respondent, too
distrustful of the value Of such senti-
ments.
But Walter Brown was man Of an
other sort altogether. He trusted every
body, including himself. He had the
warmest possible regard for Russell,
and 1t was visible in his earnest, kindly
and handsome face. Russell was glad
