In the January Wide Awake,

Margaret sidney's paper on whittier
with the Children" naturally leads all
others in timeliness and interest. It il
sympathetic, personal aud delightful,
and shows tho good Quaker poet rs the
child-lover and with that child-nature
his poems have led us to ascribe to him.
The article is profusely illustrated.
Another leader is Frederick A. Ober's
THE Bridge that Spawned the World"
It deals with the localities made
famous by Colum bus in Spain. Kirk
Munroe, the founder of the League of
American Wheelmen, contributes q
pithy article ''About Bicycles" to the
Wide Awake Athletics, and makes some
sharp criticisms on the present method
of '.jackknifng'' in the saddle. The
short stories in this number are es-
pecially bright. Annie Howells
Frechette's ''Bill" is the study of a
small boy that vshows tho Howells'
realism in a now vein; Mary Kyle Dali
las ''The Little Turk" is tale of
pluck and endeavor; Mary P. w. Smith
In Behind the Wardrobe delights all
those who love or hate arithmetic.
The serial stories by w. o. Stoddard,
Molly Elliot Seawell and Theodore r.
Jenness are increasingly absorbing.
Kate Putnam Osgood's Ballad of tho
Bonny Page" is full of strength and
FIRE; NJ. E. BIS dog poem, "A Morning
Call" Mrs. M. F. Butts $50 the Snow
Comes Down." and Richard Burton's
Landlord and Tenant" are charming
Tho Men and Things department Is
full of bright paragraphs. The illus
trations are beautiful. Meynelle's ex-
quisite frontispiece of Whittier with
tho children, has almost the softness
and strength Of an oil painting. and is
well worth framing.

CHAPTER XVIII.


Harry did not let the grass grow under
his feet, when there was even the faint
est chance of working in the right di-
rection. and half an hour after he re-
ceived Mr.. Hardcastle's letter found
him on the top Of an omnibus on his
way to Hampstead Heath.
He had no difficulty in finding Acacia
cottage, the residence of the eccentric
doctor, for he was well-knOwn per-
sonage in the neigh borhood.
What pretty place it was. A quaint,
matched house, half smothered in roses
and hOneySuckleS, and surrounded by q
lovely garden. The old gentle man him
self was in the garden, pruning a rose
bush, short, weakened, crafty-loolling
old fellow, clad in long dressing
gown. and with Turkish smoking cap
on mis- head. Snch a man living in such
a place was to Harry's mind like bind
ing a copy Of some black-letter folio
in the gay cover Of Christmas annual.
He advanced to meet the intruder.
''Ah, an American" he said, as he
glanced at the young mans card, before
opening the letter of introduction.
''Come for some hints I suppose for
New York respondence-somed dainty
little bit of modern contemporancous
history-grand people yours = do SO ap-
preciate gossip about the aristOcracy,
especially if it has q favor Of naughti
ness-not Of course, that ever indulge
in scandal"
By this time he had opened the letter
and read its contents.
WHAT he cried, in pleased surprise,
''from my old and distinguished &C
quaintance, Alexander Hardcast]e! Cad,
took you for one OF those newspaper
fellows
If report was true DR.. Forester added
many an honest guinea to his yearly in
come in consideration Of his salacious
gossip with those same correspondents
he alluded to SO slightingly.
$50 Hardcastle wants me to be of
service to you, young man. Now, in
any way you can command me, 1 am
yours"
He shook Harry's hand warmly, and
led him into a charming room, opening
into the lawn.
Take that arm-cllair,'' he said, hos
| pitably. 1T is relic Of Stowe abbey.
1 bought it at the dukes sale; but it
will be none the less comfortable for
| that. You smoke, of course. All
Americans do. Have q cigar, and
pardon me if 1 light my pipe"
Harry wondered where be got the
magnificent neerschauro with its big
amber mouthpiece and solid silver
raountings from. He felt sure it was a
meInento of some decayed fortunes.
| ''Now, sir, what can l do for you?"
! Harry thought 9 moment; then re-
solved to tell his story from first to
last. He had told it so often that it
had now assumed a logical consecutive
narrative, without the suppression of a
single salient point.
The little old man sat with his head
on one side like a jackdaw, grinning
with intense interest, but never inter
rupt;ng by q single movement or cxcla-
nation.
At last the tale was told. Still the
doctor sat silently putting at his pipe.
''Do you see any ray of light?" Har-
ry asked at last, anxiously.
Ray! The whole dawn of day

a SIGNIFICANT FACT.
Eilkins' Company Obtains Important
Concessions.

Ellkins' Company Obtains Important
Concessions.
There is much suggestiveness in the
fact that in the letting of the sealskin
monopoly the company which let AIR.
Steven 3. E1kinS in on the ground floor
got the contract over the company with
Blocks of-Five Dudley on the ground
floor, though the Indiana people offered
two million dollars for the contract
over and above the other bid. There is
no reason to doubt that this was due to
the influence of Elkins with the secre-
tary of the treasury, with whom he
was closeted at the time.
It will be remembered that the con-
nection of Elkins with the successful
bidders was kept secret. and that it
only came out after Elkins had visited
Blaine and had attempted to prevent
an arrangement with England for stop
ping the killing of seals. The Repub-
lies Washington correspondent is in
formed that Gen. A. =. Nettleton, now
assistant secretary of the treasury,
offered to guarantee the contract to the
Indiana bidders. provided they would
set apart one million dollars of their
stock ''for person not to be named or
known" It appears that the offer was
not received with sufficient warmth
At any rate, the contract went to the
lower and worse bidder, ths North
American Company" of which Mr..
Elkins is the private and confidential
agent on ground-foor terms
Like his friend in the state depart
ment. the secretary of war finds it per
fectiy natural to lake all he fairly can
when his political influence gives him
the entrance TO the ground floor OF any
enterprise. It is altogether probable
that he is on more ground floors than
any other man in American politics
At all times, he is very interesting
person. and later on he is likely to grow
more interesting than ever.-St- Louis

Bladon frowned. He did not dare to
speak, realizing IS he did the debt of
obligation he owed this grand old man.
Thus it befen that Mr.. Hardcastle re-
turned home with the promise that in a
couple of weeks Mr.. Arundel and his
faithful servant would follow him and
make their home under his hospitablc
roof.
Then the genial old gentleman wrote
to each of the ladies inploring them to
sacrifice their summer happiness to
George Arunders interest and be
guests of his until the result of the oper-
alton was known.
''Of course we will co." Wanda cried

Mr. Blaine is not reaching a vigorous
old age, frosty but kindly. Recurrent
illnesses sap his physical strength and
confirm the hypochondriac tendency of
his mind. The buoyancy and audacity
OF his earlier years are lacking, and
since 1854. as was discovered in his
Florence letter concerning the nomina-

It is necessary here to give the
reader little clearer insight into Mr..
Hardcastle's movements than that gen.
tleman has accorded to Harry.
After his extraordinary interview
with Wanda Arlington. when the pos
sibility of his securing the hand Of Mrs.
Evesham had been preached and dis
cussed, he had shrunk like a bashful
schoolgirl from all further allusion to
the delicate subject, though he had de-
1ayed the day of his departure. Now
it happened that this procrastination
was fraught with extraordinary events,
! for he read one morning in the Detroit
Free Press, which Ne assuredly never
