 Russell accepted the invitation, and entered Rays office with an exact re- gard for the specified hour worthy of Monte Christo. They lunched in style of gilded magnificencs; and afterwards returned to Rays office together. Here Russell sat down by request, and Ray drew chair in front of him.
 s'Young man." said he with painful directness, whats your business?"
 To Russell this question was not wholly a surprise, though he had not had time to fully prepare for it. His re- ply, however, was founded upon certain information which he had obtained by judiclous inquiry concerning the pecul- iarities of the man before him.
 "I am engaged in the development of an invention," said he.
 "Your own?'
 "No, sir; by a careful study of history I have discovered that there is a great deal more money in not being the ln- ventor. Moreover, a man is always preiudiced in regard to his own inven- ton, and therefore blinded to the me- cessities of its development. He can HUI CE10IS1AS CShALI1ASs HUI SSth hS NSSSAAoo the merits of the idea with convincing coolness."
 "You're dead right" said Ray, im- pressively.
 'I shall not, however, interest myself in an invention of whose merits l was incompetent to iudge," continued Rus sell. ''In this case the subject is famil- jar to me. l made special study of electricity in college, and have read every thing could get hold of since. I therefore investigate as an expert when that great and mysterious force is in- volved."
 ''It is great thing;" said Ray; we're only beginning to find out what it can do."
 That this was a hobby of Rays was one thing which Russell had learned. He also knew that the millionaire's con fidence in electricity was of recent birth, and had not yet been backed by any investment.
 "Of course capital will be necessary to put the invention of which I speak upon the market" Russell said. There was a shrewd twinkle in Ray eye. So this young fellow was trying to ''work' him, was he?
 1T suppose you're looking for a mill- ionaire to go into it with you?"
 No, sir, am not" replied Russell, firmly. "A millionaire, man whose fortune is made, is not the right sort of person for this affair. The money needed is not great sum, but l want with it a man of energy and determina- tion. I should prefer a young man with the future all before him, who would work side by side with me and share all l my hopes to the full"
 ''So you think that nobody but a young man can put thing like that

through, do you? We'll, you're mis- taken. Some of us old fellows have more energy than you young ones."
 "There are undoubtedly instances of that kind," said Russell, "and yet I must adhere to my original opinion. I am not in a hurry to find the proper man to join with me in this undertak- ing. I have funds sufficient for my sup port"-adding in the seclusion of his own soul-''till day after tomorrow"
 "You make a mistake in waiting," said Ray. ''Push Ter through; get her on the market"
 Russell shook his head.
 ''There is young man who may soon be able to join me-" said he. "At pres ent he has not the funds, but he has ex- pectations and world of energy. Young blood"
 "Bother young blood. Do you think because man is fifty or over that he isn't good for any thing? Why, look here, I'm fifty-eight, and three inches shorter than you are, but I'll bet can split a cord of wood while you're split ting foot"
 Russell smiled incredulously and squared his broad shoulders. Ray got red in the face. He was a vigorous man, and he hated to be called old. Russell knew it. and banked on it.
 "You don't ask me to get into this scheme of yours," said Ray, after walk ing up and down the floor with the step of a pedestrian.
 Russell pretended to be embarrassed.
 "You would not feel like giving much time to it," said he, land besides the young man of whom have spoken will soon"
 "I'm as young as he is, by jingo," cried the man of dollars, slapping his chest. "I could outrun him, outjump him and throw him three times out of five, brooches hold, or you either"
 Russell smiled again, and Ray reached for his cane. The situation was begin ming to look serious. It was not the old mans intention to use the cane as a weapon, however.
 'FSee here, young MT. William Rus sell,'' said he, "there was game we used to play where was born that was called pulling sticks Two fellows sat down on the floor, braced their feet to- gether and pulled on an axe handle until somebody had to come up. Now, I'll bet you fifty dollars can pull you up inside of one minute"
 'I don't think you can, sir," said Rus sell, respectfully; ''but, at any rate, haven't the fifty dollars to wager on it."
 "I'll take your I. o. D." cried Ray, dropping on the floor with a thump that threatened the tenants below. "Sit down here, and I'll give you few les sons in the value of well-spent youth. '' Russell sat down and seized the cane, and the strange tug-of-war began. It was painful thought to Russell that q

O. U
BY HOWARD FIELDING

On a shade moro provocation Russell would have fled up the chimney behind him, and though he managed to avoid any demonstrations of uneasiness, his tongue refused it's office. The subject which she had introduced was not one which he cared to pursue. He took the seat which was favored with the least illumination, and gathered his wits as best he could. Then the thought of what Brown must have said of him came to aid in his confusion. Doubtless he had been described as spring of wis dom and fountain of expression. Of course she was sitting'there, waiting for him to say something instructive, Nothing but heXameter verse would do for the medium of such a'being's conver- sation. Would she want all the secrets of the universe to be revealed in ono evening, or would a sample answer to begin with? And in the meantime he could think of nothing but the weather.
 "Brown, dear old fellow," he began, but he could think of nothing to say about Brown except that he wished he head waters of the Congo.
 "Yes, indeed," said Miss Ray; ''he is a very good fellow. indeed, and exceed ingly handsome. It will not make him vain to say so, for the remark will be forgotten before he gets back. Most men would feel complimented at being mistaken for him. He has the figure of an athlete"
 ''To be sure," said Russell, hastily. "Brown is six inches taller than I am.

the time when they had accidentally luuched together, and knew what Rus sell had eaten, and how much it cost.
 "It was a good deal more than you needed, young man." said he, but per haps you knew what you were about"
 Russell ventured to hope that he did.
 "A reputation for wealth is good thing" said Ray. GA young man gets it by spending much more than he can afford and an old man by spending less. Every time some of those fellows down there see me eating apple pie for lunch they add half million to their estimate of what I'm worth, but it wouldn't have done thirty years ago when I was malr- ing my start. By the way, come down AO lunch with me tomorrow. I'll agree

WILL VETO THE BILL
Poor Prospects for the Free
 Coinage Amendment.
OPPOSITION FROM ALL SIDES
Speaker Reed Says It Will Never Pass the
 House Coinage Committee.

Vote Ordered In the Senate on W WedDess
 day-Another Skirmish Expected Over
 the Elections Bill-It win be Antagon-
 ized by the Pure Food DTeasure-Fate of
 the Shipping Bill.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Should the Fi- nancial bill with it's free coinage amend ment be passed by the Senate and House, the President will, in all probability, return it to Congress without his ap- proval. In this event, support sufficient to pass the measure over his veto cannot be found
 Speaker Reed is of the opinion that the bill will never pass the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures. The silver men in the House are not alto gether willing to admit this, but as the Speaker appointed the members of the Coinage Committee, he doubtless knows whereof he speaks.
 With the Silver bill out of the way in the Senate the floor will be cleared for another skirmish, and it seems bound to come. The Elections bill will probably be awakened and it's form materialized in the Senate just as soon as the way is made clear for it. Senator Hoar has de- termined to seek renewed consideration for his pet measure.
 When MT. Hoar makes his motion, which he will do, unless he changes his mind, it will be antagonized by Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, who will return to Washington to move that the Pure Food bill be taken up. The passage of the Pure Food bill has been petitioned for by the farmers in all sections of the country, and Mir. Paddock is personally interested in having it become law.
 Mir. Hale is anxious to have the Ap- portionment bill passed as soon as possi- ble, but will not bring it forward as an obstruction to the Elections bill. Sena- tor Allison says he has no appropriation bills to bring forward at this time, hence there will be no opportunity to demand consideration of those measures until it is absolutely certain that the Republi- cans can not pass the Elections bill.

Forty Days on a Sinking Vessel.

NEW YORK, Jan.0.-Tossed about for 40 days on 8 sinking vessel, at the mercy of the wind and waves, with scarcely food enough to keep them alive, much less pecting every moment that their vessel would go to the bottom-this in brief is a record of the experience of Captain Frank R. Whitson and the officers and crew of the British tank steamer Pollux, the probable less of which was recorded some days ago. The survivors, nineteen meu all told, reached this port on the State line steamer State of Nevada. They were rescued from the fast sinking Pol lux on December go.

good many thousand dollars were lost by holding these athletic sports in pri- vate. Doubtless five hundred men in the street would have given fifty dol lars for admission to the performance. There was a big clock with second hand on the wall, and the contestants timed themselves. Neither gained a hairs breadth in the first quarter, nor in the second, nor the third, nor the fourth, but exactly sixty-five seconds after the tug began Russell rose into the air, scared over his opponents head and struck the wall behind him.
 Great Scott!' exclaimed Ray, as soon as he could get his breath, "I never did the trick as well as that before. Old, am I? Are any of your bones broken?"
 ''I believe not" said Russell, pretend ing to examine his skull in search of a fracture; "but it was the greatest sur prise ever had. Ihave lost my bet"
 "No, you haven't,'' replied the man who had not grown old. 'I'll be honest with you. was five seconds over time. The fifty dollars are yours. You see I was little out of practice, but got there after awhile.''
 ''So I perceive;' and Russell rubbed his head with one hand, and took fifty dollar bill with the other.
 ''Now," said Ray, ''if you think I'm youngenough to take a hand in your scheme, let me know. I'm willing to put in one hundred thousand dollars, or twice that if necessary; and as for att tention, young man, just watch me. Bring down your papers and your model tomorrow, and r m with you"
 This was little sudden for Russell. It was needless to say that he had no invention to offer. It had been his in- tention to discover what kind of an in- vention Ray would be willing to back, and then find long-haired crank who thought he had it.
 II must have little more time, sir;" he said. ''There are matters to be ar ranged. Let us say next Friday"
 All right, and don't stop for matter of money. I've always got enough to put into good thing"
 But my dear sir," said Russell, 'you don't know what this is, yet
 II don't care continental what ii is,'' replied the millionaire promptly. "If it's a good thing we'll get our money out of the machine. If it isn't, we'll have to get it out of the stock. It's inn material to me which we do. Bring it along"'

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-In the Senate, Messrs. Platt and Allison gave notice of their intention to call up at an early day respectively the Copyright and Lard bills.

INTERESTING A CAPITALIST.

INIEhE5IINT CAFIIAIIs1s
 The next time Russell called at tho house of Gilbert Ray he had the pleas ure of making that gentleman's &C., quaintance. He found the millionaire bluff, hearty old fellow, whose resi- dence in the metropolis during the past thirty years had made very little change in him. As boy he had traded horses, and had made some enemies and a good deal of money. His father had taken the money and left him the enemies. These facts in his early history he re- lated sto Russell with considerable ap- parent satisfaction. He remembered

and nearly a foot broader across the shoulders"
 "Is it possible?" and Miss Ray opened her blue eyes very wide. "Now do you know I would have said you could have worn each others clothes.''
 "She's making fun of me-" thought Russell. "What in the name of annihila- tion can do?"
 "You saw him just before he sailed, did you not?" she said. "Was he in good spirits?''
 "He seemed resigned" replied Rus sell. "As to the work which takes him there, he is hopeful, but he is not the man to leave his friends without regret"
 "Has he many here?"
 Mot many, but some whom he holds very dear. am reminded that he gave me card for you. I believe it bears some memoranda of treasure you will lay up in Heaven, where, Brown tells mo, you have already much invested"
 She glanced at the card.
 "He is too kind," she said. My charities are small, and yet within a mile of my home one may find every kind of distress which Gods mercy per mits."
  ral conversation, far from embarrassing topics. Russell was soon at his ease, and talking, as he thought, in a highly edifying manner. If intellectual devel- opment was what Miss Ray needed sho would not fail to get it.
 "We shall be good friends" she said, as he rose to go. II must confess that Walter had prejudiced me against you. He was forever telling me of your att tainments; and saying that an hour with you was equal to four volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Now, don't like people to be instructive. That is one of Walters faults. But you-why you've entertained me with the most delightful nonsense that ever was in the world. and feel greatly the better for 1t. You must come again very soon, when my mother is able to see you. and when my father hasn't directors meet ing on hand"
