CHAPTER I

CHATTER l.
"Eh? What? Who did you say the
big fellow was2'
"Ned Anthony, the millionaire"
The questioner, a thick set man, with
O snub nose, rose hastily and opened the
window Of the hotel smoking room and
leaned far out, eager to inspect the
broad shoulders and the brown SLOUGH
hat of the money king. For blood or
beauty or breeding he would not have
turned upon his heel; but for gold, no
exertion could be troublesome.
When the brown hat ana the broad
shoulders had been swallowed up in the
sea Of other hats and shoulders, similar
in outward aspect if not in intrinsic
value, the snub nosed man returned to
his chair and his pipe, bubbling over
with the inquiry and speculation which
the contemplation of financial success is
potent to inspire.
"This must be a new layout. l seem
to have heard the name somewhere be-
fore. Not here; l never heard Of him
here until l came up this time. I've
been ranching down in Texas, you know,
and am sorter behind the times in city
items. It's all cow down there. He
amt cow reckon"
He addressed himself to no one in par
ticular, being, as he said, stranger to
most of them, but he had no fear of the
result. Money is q text on which the
learned discourse eloquently and even
the unlearned feel that they have few
remarks to make. One of u group of
miners who were enjoying holiday in
the city laid down his cards and turned
himself in his chair. The game was

Enas the boys would take 1t mp and
lynch him, but Ned soon snuffed that
out. He just marched the whole gang
out to the grave and laid his hand on it
and swore by the Lord that made him
that the leper had had nothing but kind
ness at his hands, and then he told the
fellows that If they doubted his word
they could open the grave and satisfy
themselves"
"Did they?
Lord love you, nor cried the miner
in surprise. ''Of course they didn't

they set fire to the hut and burned it to
the ground before they'd been in the
canyon two days. They didn't banker

through it all day long; the thought Of

gulch; 'twasn't comforting to their in

poor devil anyway, beyond wiping all
sign Of him off the face of the earth.
The mine was there, and the ore was
there-rich, too, and in good bulk. That
was the big interest. Ned made lump

This appeared to exhaust the subject
for most of the listeners, who began
moving away and talking of other mat
ters. Not so the Texan; he had emptied
the vessel of its contents, and now he
proceeded to inspect the label for the
makers name. He wished to discover
what country, state or territory stood in
loco PARENTS to this man Of gold.
Here the Virginian took up the testi-
mony. You'll hardly believe it," he
said amusedly; 81 didn't myself at first,
although the fellow that told me had it
from Anthony's own lips. The Old
Dominion claims him; he is Virginian.
This kind of offsets the Comstock story,
doesn't it2 We don't always trade off a
big find for a barrel of whisky and a
mule. You western fellows don't have
such good times with us now since we
have started the eyetooth business"
The miner whistled. "a regular Old
Dominion swell, is he?" quoth he. "Well,
never should have guessed it. He amt
got the trade marks of an F. F. ""
"He isn't one," remarked the Virgin
ian quietly. "Mr. Anthony is as much
a self made man as"- "any Of u.s." he
was going to say, but the memory Of
a long line Of white handed forbears
peacefully asleep among the blue Vir-
ginia hills rose and checked him, so he
changed his sentence-"as any of our
mining plutocrats. His father was an
overseer on big tobacco plantation in
the James River valley in the old days.
Anthony started from the ground, if
that's any advantage, and mind you,
I'm not denying that it may be. All the
| purple and fine linen of his career will
be of his own providing"
$50 thought" responded the miner,
land it's all right for him anyhow. II

stops out here or goes north, he can set
up patent on being Virginian, and il
he goes back there, he can start three
letters of his own and break down the
old monopoly. p. D. M makes as good
show as F. F. W any day, and it's got
more solid back to it."
The Virginian made no comment.

There are more agreeable ways of
passing an hour than in sitting on the
top rail of Virginia "snake fence" on
q north hillside in the cherries gray of
what Ned Anthony was doing.
The fence wound along the hillside in
the zigzag fashion of its kind, leaning
now to the right, now to the left, and
humoring the inequalities on the ground
handsomely. 1t was a new fence, ag-
gressively new in contrast to the gray of
the sky and the subdued drabs and
browns Of the rocks, the bare branches
and the fallen leaves. The clean split
sides of the chestnut rails shone whitley,
and the stakes which held all secure
where the rails Tapped at the corners
were finished off with workmanlike
caps, made of bits of boards with a
couple of anger holes drilled through
them, instead of the usual slovenly twist
of wild grapevine. A thrifty looking
fence, stout and substantial-evidently
the line fence inclosing the property Of
thrifty and substantial man.
The proprietor sat upon it and stared
about him, whistling softly and trim
ming a hickory stick cut in the woods
just back of him. The land, twelve hun
dred acres of it, had formerly been a
portion of the patrimonial estate of the
Beverley family, to whose present rep
resentatives there remained the old fam.
lily dwelling and a modest surrounding
of three hundred acres at the upper end
of the original tract. Mr.. Anthony had
desired to become possessor of the entire
plantation, house and land, just as il
had passed from father to son in the
Beverley line, and to that end had in
structed his lawyer not to stand on al
extra thousand or two, and had learned
to his surprise and disappointment, tina
the tract had been divided, and that thu
upper end Of the farm, including tn
house and lots about it, had been as

Ing up and CALLING the body. Square
cut cuffs are still the order OF the day,
and for dress shirts the number of stud
holes remains unchanged, either one
or two ut pleasure, the singc-stud
fashion being mostly in favor.
Shirts for night wear are evidently
giving way to pajamas. This night
raiment is strongly recommended by
some of the medical faculty, and the
night shirt may become as old fashioned
as stocks and cravnts, fob pockets or
Wellington boots. Some of the paiama
suits are very attractive and expensive
to match. In one store on Broadway
there are some of silk which would
have satisfied Il sybaritc. They were of
spun silk in half-inch stripes and we'll
contrastcd colors, pink and white, a
light golden yellow and pink, Il full
blue and rich bronze, and at the knees
and waists were cords Of white silk and
taSSclS.
The corduroy" is chiefly used for
lawn tennis shirts, which this season
show an endless variety in material and
design. The miNturc of silk and cotton
is specially happy, the silk doing all the
talking. and the cotton remaining in
the background as interiors ought to
do. The silk expresses itself in stripes,
double checks, hair lines and sometimes
in ombrc, than which nothing can be
softer or more gracious. Mat is u fav-
oritc make for these pastimc shirts,
which run the range in athletics. The
undrcss OXfords are at present in de-
mand-mcrely fad-as Oxfords require
dressing to set them off. Fair-stripcd
cambrics, in blue, pink and heliotropc,
will be in great demand, Judging by the
stock laid in, for sporting men. Hello

but it is becoming, and youth will CON

colors named are softcned down by a

In underclothing some very pro-
nounced designs have appeared this
month In silk and cotton n soft blend
is an eccentric idea. The weaving is
of rings of three stripes, which go round
and round the garment, giving to the
body wasp-lillc appearance, especially
when the colors chosen are those of that
venomous inscct-black or brown, with
yellow markings.
The black silk pajama suits have been
taken up gingerly. They are very
handsome, and the monogram or crest
or badge looks well worked large on
the front. l saw q beautifully finished

port themselves on the sands of Man

Atlantic City, in garments SO closc-fit-
ting that every individual "disport'
makes Il multitude shut their eyes for
fear of Il break. But society permits
this lavish show of shape, in fact en-
joys it, and So the man of fashion has
simply to bow obcisancc and pose.
When You buy your bathing outfit
this year be sure and do it properly.
Buy them in one piece of worsted or
silk, and if you are stout get vertical
stripes, and if you are thin follow the
Sing Sing design. That is very much in
style this year, just rs it was
last year But you can get them
in cotton very cheaply; and while that
class Of goods is au fait in Bowery BAY
and at South Beach it will hardly do at
the swell ocean places. Picl, out three
or four pretty bathing suits costing you
all the way from three dollars to thirty
dollars apiece and then get a good outfit
to go with it, a fine waterproof canvas
satchel for two dollars will hold your
bathing suit, your towels your towel
robe, brushes, combs, and possibly
bath mat and Il rather thin blanket
robe. Don't fail to get the Turkish
towel robe, for it is a very handy thing
after fine plunge, even though it costs
you six or eight dollars. Your
blanket robe, if you intend having one
this year, is worth ten or fifteen
dollars. Then, too, there is the bath
strap, which You ought to have. This
will cost You two dollars ard fifty cents.
Then buy few extra brushes and
rubbing down pads" and you are fixed
for the summer as far as bathing outfit
goes.
