THE FINANCE CRAZE.

Those who fret themselves into
a frenzy over the financial ques-
ton lose sight of the fact that
there is great body of American
citizens who have decent regard
for other important matters that
concern this nation of ours. The
radical advocates and opponents
of free silver have worked them
selves into a mental state that
allows them neither to reason nor
to listen to reason. They have
come to imagine that the pros
perity of the nation and the sal
vation of the people depends
upon the adoption of their money
views by the government. They
fill the air with their lanenta-
tions and fairly succeed in drown
ing the cool voice of truth.
With the supretnest indifer-
ence to actuality, they have
appropriated Mckinley as the
representative of this sole issue:
They make him the special object
of their alteration or hate.
'Hurrah for Mckinley and the
gold standard n' shout one faction
of these fanatics" "Anything
to beat Mckinley, the gold bug" ?"
cries the other. Yet, what little
excuse they have for making
Mckinley their god or devil of
finances!
1t was the masses that noi11i-
mated Mckinley and it should be
apparent to the craziest financial
ite that it was not as a represent
ative of any peculiar financial
views that he gained his popular
ity. In fact, the uncertainty of
his position on the money ques-
ton was severely criticised before
the convention, but it did not
prevent his nomination. 1t is
the principle of protection that
Mckinley chiefly represents, and
his nomination proves that the
return to that principle is the
greatest concern Of the great
mass of American voters.

defiantly, "a damned lie from beginning

Dickie mopped his brow, but he felt
better already.

men with this part OF his story. "And

that"
Dickie was getting into pretty deep
water, but he Aoundered on, determined
to save Doris reputation.
"WelI, took in some of the rot" he
said-the attention Of the men encour-
aged hlm-''and you know what beast

poor innocentsr' Dickie chuckled. He
felt that he could even afford to be con-
descending un1er the circumstances.
Basil came around and pulled Dickie
out of his chair in much the same
fashion that he had pushed him in. The
relief that Dickie's explanation afforded
him was intense. Not that he would
believe Doris capable of intrigue. but
he could not hear any bandying about
Of her name.
"Dickie'-and Basil spoke deliber-
ately, as a man who had been under a
great strain--''DickIe, you're a fool, but
l am not so sure but that it's the kind
Of foolishness that might be turned to
account. Give US your hand, old boy,
and be your own quiet self after this.
Plenty Of people can talk; silence is
gift OF the gods. In the meantime,
when all else fails, you go on to Boston
and help out that lecturer. Why, you
could give him points that would carry
him and you and the audience beyond
the bounds Of possibility"
And leisurely, after the manner of
men who have wined and dined and
smoked together, the four passed into
the drawing room, the husband OF the
bride leading tho wau Tho Nl.:~i

Heavens, what a lot you have to learn
"Shut up. Basil. I'm no innocent, and
you know it, but don't suspect all the
women know of indiscretions.'
"Never mind Basil's cynicisms, old
boy" the fourth man said, soothingly
You're good sort, Dickie, and this
yarn Of yours was an amusing experience
for you. People who play games must
expect an audience"
Dickie was somewhat Modified, and
resumed the story.
Luck being my way. and not theirs, l
sat facing them. which was awkward,
but only bowed formally and made no
attempt to speak to them
THAT was nice of you," Basil said
politely. He wished Dickie would wind
up his tale; he wanted to 60 to Doris.
The husband of the bride was getting
restless, too; he had scarcely been mar

satisfactorily And then she passed
out. She looked calm enough, but I'll
bet you flyer she was cussing her luck

The men rose simultaneously. Dickic.
who was by nature quiet man, felt
flushed from 80 much talking. He had
drunk rather heavily Of John Dewar's
Scotch whiskey at dinner, too. which
loosened his tongue and made him
rather excitable. He thought the men
had not shown sufficient interest in his
story-it might be a startling finale il
he disclosed the woman's name. He felt
irritated and grieved at not making
sensation.
"Say. you fellows. hold on minute!

D,ckie's mouth, but the words came
through his fingers-"our hostess"
Dickie gasped.
Basil felt the cords about his neck
swell with rage and indignation. but he
shut his teeth tight together and
checked the impulse to throttle Dickie.
The other men laughed carelessly; the
affair was nothing to them. The hus-
band of the bride was the first to speak.
"Dickie's half seas over" he said,
apologetically. III call a cab and send

his sensation, he felt more amiable and
quite capable of taking care Of himself.
He was terribly ashamed. too. if the
