ought TO KNOW Casper lnglis, who has
speculated considerably in Bowery real
estate, said that Boweiy property had
dropped so per cent. in 10 years. The
song Mr.. Inglis thought, only helped to
depreciate the value of Bowery property.
II was one of the causes. Another was the
advent of Rooseveitism. The closing OF
the concert halls drove trade away TO the
new Tenderloin. But between reform
and the song the Bowery had been killed
and could never be revived.
"When the oncert halls were in full
blast, +" said Mr. Wilson, "my partner,
Mr. Meehan, and myself just coined

museum we did business of 900 day.

done. But with the fall of the Bowery
many of our opponents in the museum
business had TO get out, and we now have
a monopoly The Bowery tneaters depend
upon trade from all parts of the city, and
never did much business with transients.
We own two pieces of property on the

PART Ill.

PART III.
At last the book was finished. Mr..
Markham was delighted with the tone
and argument, and signed his name
thereto with a flourish and without
noticing his secretary's look of quler
contempt. Miss Howard was indignant
when she heard of this; though the sig
nature really meant much, including a
publisher. She blamed Mr.. Markham
more or less; but Warrington s conduct
was inexcusable. He had no spirit, she
told him. He replied that it was iir-
possible for her TO see the matter from
his point of view, that OF "A man who had
TO work for his living, and that she
could not grasp the complex influences
at work in such mean scheme of ex-
istence. She left him with unaffected
disgust.
Mr.. Markham's visit was nearly over.
The last evening had come. A large
skating party had been improvised.
All the guests except the secretary,
were on the ice; IA lake five miles overa
lonely moor. Warrington went there,
too, but only to look on. He did not
care to join the skaters. They did not
care either. One, perhaps-but that
would anticipate. AS the evening adj
vanced snow began TO fall. 1t came
gently at first and the skaters enjoyed
IL. 1t made them white and pictur-
esque. 1t dulled the sharp ring of their
skates into n muflied rumble as they
sped over the fast coating ice. 1t clung
in delightful little frosty filaments to
the eyelashes Of the girls and whitened
the mustaches of the men. IL was
grand. Then the snow king changed
his mind suddenly. He sent forth his
tempest in moment. The little fleecy
fakelets were followed by binding
drifts. Darkness covered the land and
an impenetrable snowfall the skaters.

benumbed hands and drew IL close to
him again.
"Do you mean it?" he asked. in a
trembling voice.
"Yes, with all my heart"
"Then promise"
He turned from her and set his face
against the storm. Soon he passed out
of her sight into the snow.
'iIe will come tomorrow" she said,
in low, happy voice.

groups; sometimes three or four to.
gether, hand-in-hand; often one by one,
blinded, dazed, demoralized.
The secretary sat on a tree-stump by
the bank and watched, careless of his
snowy jacket. The thing interested
him-nothing more. He told himself
that he did not care a straw if the
whole party, man, woman and child,
perished in the drifts. Still he wait
ed persistently He did not tell himself
for what. At last he arose. Just then
the mutfied hum Of pair of skates
sounded far out on the ice. The sound
waxed louder and fainter alternately
Like the traveller in "A primeval forest

moving in a circle. Let him circle

row well on the way TO the castle. But
duty! Warrington put his two hands
10 his mouth and sent a deafening shout
ncross the ice. A faint cry answered
back. He shouted again 10 indicate the
direction. Then he heard the sound
of skates plowing through the deepen
ing snow straight for him. The sound
sweryed 20 the right.

the shore. "This way-haDg ycul"
In ten seconds Miss Howard fell en-
hausted into his arms. 1t was mpos-
sible TO keep the snow OFF her He
could only wait until she had recovered
breath, and then without a word of
apology he took her up in his arms
and carried her into the partia! shell

became intense. Warrington soon saw
that before she had even recovered
strength the girls circulation was rum
ming down. She must be kept rowing
or she would freeze 70 death. She was
already half asleep. Fortunately he had
n small flask OF brandy that the house
keeper at the castle, who took pity on
him, she seemed so lonesome had
