CHAPTER VI

Two worlds and half dozen industries
had conspired to shower gold on Calder
Wentworth's head. There was land in the
family, brought by his grandmother: there
was finance on the paternal side whence
came Portuguese title, carefully eschewed
by CALDER; there had been a London
street, half a watering place, a South
African mine, and the better part Of an AZ,
American railway. The street and the
watering place remained; the mine and
the railway had been sold at the top of the
market. About the same time the family
name became Wentworth-it had been
Stupes, which was felt to be absurd-and
the family itself began to take an exalted
place IN society; The rise was easier, be-
died, young Mr.. Calder S. Wentworth
became the only representative, and a
rich young bachelor can rise lightly
to heights inaccessible to the feet
of less happily situated folk 1t seemed
part OF providence's benevolence that when
Lady Forteville asked how many "Stupes
women" there were the answer could be
None; whereupon the Countess at once
invited Mr.. Calder Wentworth to dinner.
Calder went, and rolled his frogs eyes
with much amusement when the ladv
asked him to what Wentworths he be-
longed, for, as he observed to Miss Gyn.
whom he had the pleasure of escorting, his
WentWorths were an entirely new brand
and Lady Forteville knew it as well as if
she had read the letters-patent and in
vented the coat of arms.
"Mr. Wentworth-Mr Merceron," said
Victor Sutton, with wave of his hand.
Il believe know an uncle of yours-an
uncommon clever fellow" said Calder. IN
folding his napkin and gIancing round the
dining-room of the Themis Club

half dozen fellows"

young Merceron, and the usual rustic
beauty, don't you know-forget the name;
but fat girl, Victor said, and awfully gone
on young Merceron. Well, there's pond
or something
How long will this story last?" asked
Miss Glyn, with a tragic air.
Its an uncommon amusing one," pro-
tested Calder. "He upset her in the pond

"Never knew such grill No sense of
humor!" commented Calder, with shake
OF his head and backward roll of his eve
toward his companion.
But it makes such difference whether a.
story is new to the nearer.

MARSHAL MARSTON PRONUNClO.
A Native Son Whose Words
Direct as Hot Cannon Ba
He Narrates His Experience With the Herb Healing
Remedy Gathered From the Foothills Valleys
and Mountain Tops of California.

Everybody knows big-hearted
Frank Marston. He is now one
of the proprietors of that elegant
restaurant situated opposite the
Baldwin Hotel, which is known
to nearly every young man and
woman in the city of San Fran
cisco. S45 Market street is the
number which all the native
sons of San Francisco remem-
bers, because tits the place where
they go for an early breakfast,
good dinner, or a late supper.
The height of Mr.. Marston's ambition is
to be amiable, and his compeers show that
they like this trait by often slapping him
on the shoulder as they meet him in the
various walks of life. That he is good
fellow there is no doubt that he is an hon
ored gentleman is evinced in the fact that
he has been clerk of our own Assembly for
four cons ecutive sessions, and besides filling
this confidential position in our Legisla-
ture, he has been the chief clerk in the
great building where the dollars are ground
out. Now, when he has been handling
millions of gold and silver, or checks in his
restaurant, he has always been the same
plain, sweet-hearted fellow, and his words
are of an especial Importance on this
touching occasion.
Very few men like to speak to reporter
for publication, and Mr. Marston is one of
those who do not care for notoriety. 1t
was only few days ago when he was in
terviewed with reference to our own home
remedy, joys Vegetable SarsaparilIa.
These are his own words:
eyes, know of the remedy. 1t has been
in my household time and time again. l
can conseientiously recommend it to all my
friends, and to each and every individual
who is all run down. I have never been
really sick day in my life, but have seen
times when l was tired and weary, harassed
with the cares of life, and when it was
necessary for me to do something. One of
these occasions CHANGED into a neighbor-
ing drugstore and asked for a bottle of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. I walked
home with the bottle and allowed it to re-
main in the cupboard for about week, and
as was feeling out of sorts began using
the medicine. Now, it was only three
weeks since began using the medicine,
when my head was as clear as bell, my
eyes as bright as a dollar and every part
of my body seemed to have been renewed.
The family having used joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla declare it to be far better than
any other remedy they have ever used, and
they prefer to use joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla to nasty pills, for don't you know
it is so hard to swallow one of those big
balls"
The cut below shows in small way the
restaurant at which Mr.. Marston is during
the day. Any one can find this place, be-
cause the number is S45 Market street, op-
posite the Baldwin Hotel, and after you
have had the good cheer which the place
affords, il you will ask Mr.. Marston, he
will cheerily tell you of the benefits he de-
rived from the wonderful Californian blood
