For some similar occasion, or perhaps
for country calling, was a rose and
black plaid silk with a panel of plain
black cloth down the middle Of the

with plaid corselet and sleeves. Rose
colored velvet made the belt and the
big buttons. There was black straw

ored velvet ribbon and with black
feathers.
A dinner dress of blackish crimson
silk was as original in effect as any
thing in the dozen or more novelties
shown. The material was shot and
showed somber or vivid IS the light

The straight skirt was plated across
the bust and hung to the feet. A folded
chemisette of white lace filled the neck
and from under the arms on either side
there came broad black sash ribbon

To what extent Edward Bellamy's
debted to the author Of utopia" Mr..
Bellamy himself probably could not
say, but he did say to me the other day
that when he began to write Looking
Backward" he had no intention of map
ping out a practical reform, but rather
intended to write a mere fanciful sketch
for his own amusement and for the en-
tertainment of his readers. He had be-
gun a literary career-a career of lit
erature for literature's sake-and ex-
pected to pursue it to the end. He had
had about sixteen years of training in
journalism, had written three small
books and number of stories for mag
azines, and in the summer of 1887 sat
down to write another bit Of hction-a
literary fantasy in which an ideal con-
dition of things was to be described
after the manner, though nowise in
imitation, of Sir Thomas More's most
famous work.
DEVOTED TO HIS ZIG SCHEME.
Almost everybody has at some time

felt an impulse to jump off They say
and they" you know, always speak
with authority-that if you had some
great purpose in mind when you stood
on that height, some purpose which
kept you from thinking about yourself,
you would not feel this suicidal i'm
pulse. If that be true. then Edward
Bellamy might stand upon the tip of .
horn of the moon and never be tempted
to leap, for he seems never to be think
ing of himself. He is SO utterly de-
voted to his gigantic scheme of indus
trial reorganization that it is difficult
to draw him into conversation on any
other subject and well-nigh impossible
to induce him to say anything about
himself
There is utterly nothing in my life"
he said to me, worth writing about.

Was shyioek "a Jew7

Rabbi Hirsch, of Chicago, lectured
recently in Washington before the
United Hebrew Charity Association
on Shakspeare's Shylock. He said
history showed that ShylOck was not
a Jew, but that it was the debtor
who was. and he continued: at is
evident that Shakespeare never met
a jew"
There is no way Of knowing whether
or not Shakespeare ever met a Jew.
But a study of "The Merchant Of
Venice" will bear out the statement
that, though he greatly exaggerated
Jewish character, it was not because
he shared the feeling of hatred COM
mon at that day for Jews. Else why
did he impart to Jessica her lovely
character?
ShylOck's demand for the pound Of
flesh was not, never was, a Jewish
custom. Shakespeare got the idea
from an old Roman law which gave
a creditor the right over his debtors
life and property. Did he desire, the
creditor could cut a piece OF flesh
from the debtors body; but to cut
more or less than his exact share
meant the forfeiture of his rights
This custom had been extinct cen
turtles before Shakespeare was born,
and to reanimate it and tack it to
Shylock was done without other
authority than that granted to poets.

washIngton and HIs mother.

When the tidings of the splendid
success at Yorktown were brought
direct from the General to his moth
er, she was moved to an exclamation
of fervent thanksgiving: Thank
God! the war is ended, and we shall
be blessed with peace, happiness, and
independence, for at last our country
is free" Shortly after the surrender
of CORVALLIS Washington left York
town with a brilliant suite Of French
and American officers, and started
upon his journey to Philadelphia,
stopping on the way at Fredericks-
burg to visit his mother. 1t was
nearly seven years since he had last
seen her face; he left Mount Vernon
in May 1875, and did not return
till the autumn OF 1871. Now that
the time of meeting drew near, his
mother was serene but very quiet,
only smiling to herself oftener than
usual. But it was not the hero
crowned that filed her thoughts, but
the son who, after years of absence
and danger, was coming back to her.
On the 18th of November, 1881, the
town of Fredericksburg was all aglOw
with Joy and revelry. Washington,
ain the midst OF his numerous and
brilliant suite" wrote Mr.. Curtis,
@sent to apprise her This motherl Of
his arrival, and to know when it
would be her pleasure to receive him.
Alone and on foot, the Gen
eral-in-chief of the combined armies
of France and America" he goes on
to say in the grandiloquent style of
the day, %the deliverer of his country,
the hero of the hour, repaired to pay
his humble tribute of duty to her
whom he venerated as the author of
his being" etc. When the warm en-
brace of greeting was over, looking
into his face with earnest, close OBJ
servance, her eyes enkindled with
maternal love, she said tenderly,
~YOu are growing old, George; care
and toll have been making marks in
you face since 1 say it last" Her
voice is said to have been singularly
sweet, and he loved its cadence as she
called him by name. She inquired
as to his health, and she spoke much
aof old times and old friends but OF
his glory not one word. Century.

Certainly, my friend. certainly. :


Very well. The plain truth OF the
matter Is, I've SIT 900 in bank notes,
but every note Is marked In a peculiar
way so as 70 render IFS positive idend-
hcation an easy matter. I've reason to
believe that any one to whom this money
is traced will find himself in very Sc
sious trouble, and so dare not use it,
All ask is for you 10 lock it up in your
safe, and keep it there until I redeem
it, said Pratt
All, I think I understand. This
marked money is missing"
Precisely. Missing is a good word,
BenJaman, answered Pratt. with a
harsh laugh.
Come, now you understand the mat
ter, what do you say?"
Benjaman seemed TO reflect for a mo-
ment or so, and then he answered.:
There is a good deal of risk in this
affair. III consider the matter. The
fact is, we are a little short Just at pres
ent. Call again at this hour, if you
like, tomorrow. We couldn't think of
touching that marked money for less
than 90 per cent. of. That is TO say, if
we made the allowance at all, we could
not let you have more than SS8, 500, half
the amount of the marked money"
Pratt's brows contracted into a frown,
but he thought rapidly.
Ihirty-eight thousand five hundred
is better than nothing. If it does not
save the firm it shall save me"
He was thinking of absconding with
the money, and Of leaving his partner To
extricate himself from his difficulties as
best he could.
I will call at this hour tomorrow
Necessity knows no law, but your terms
are hard. Benjaman. Hard even fol
yOu,~ he said; and after a little more
conversation he left the office.
When Pratt was gone, BenjamaI
rubbed his hands and chuekled witt
satisfaction.
Now we have them. Stanmore'i
hour is coming. Justice will overtak'
those scoundrels at last
That evening the old Hebrew reported
to Stanmore.

to deliver the marked money to you!

The pulpit in the nave Of West
minister Abbey, it is said, has a NOV
able floor, which can be raised or
lowered at pleasure to suit the height
of the preacher.
There is a story told that one day
a very short man was expected to
preach, and the pulpit floor was
raised considerably. Being prevented
by illness, or some other cause, he
was unable to fulfil his appointment,
and at the last moment a substitute
had to be provided.
The clergyman who obligingly
undertook the Office proved to be a
man Of stature considerably above
the average. On reaching the head
of the pulpit staircase he saw 10 his
dismay that the Official in charge of
the simple machinery had apparently
not been informed of the change Of
preacher.
The clerical @son of Anak" was,
however, equal to the occasion; he
scrambled in on his knees, and in
that uncomfortable posture preached
the sermon. 1t is believed that no
one in the vast congregation noticed
the uncomfortable position Of the
preacher

CHAPTER XXI.

We have seen Stanmore receive Mari
on's letter, which had been forwarded
to him from Africa.
Naturally the reception of this mes
sage of love afforded him the greatest
pleasure, and we have noted how de-
lighted he was.
But TO return TO Paxton.
The detective, some time subsequent
TO the occurrence Of the events just
narrated, was rejecting upon the case
which he had built up against Levi
Kredge, and he thought:
Pratt & Weeks must speak and tell
where they obtained the marked money.
Perhaps in their evidence I shall find
further proof Of Levi Kredge's guilt.
Paxton still adhered to the idea that
on the night Of John Oakburn's murder
his savings were in the little safe; that
this money had been stolen by Levi
Kredge; and that this was the source
whence he derived the money which he
had contemplated investing in real
estate.
This day while the detective was
walking along Wall street he saw Daniel
Pratt enter the office Of Abraham Ben
jaman, the Hebrew money lender.
Had Paxton followed the rascally
broker he would have seen him ushered
into the private Ofice, where the old
money lender received him very affably.
An Interesting interview followed.
Pratt cunningly preached the subject
he had In mind, and which was really
the object Of his visit.
The substance Of what he said was
that he offered Benjaman high interest
to lend him SIC, 600 in gold, and accept
as security the same amount in bank
i notes.
The old Hebrew pretended not TO COM
prehend this remarkable and seemingly
/ absurd proposition.
Then Pratt threw OF the mask, SO to
say.
You are a man of the world and not
| particular as 10 how you earn a dollar
I only so you do earn it. I'll speak free

though, you understand he said.
