CHATTER XVIII.

Barney abandoned his tandem to the
tender care of his man, and went UP
to London by train. He sat gloomily
in a corner of a first-class smoking
compartment and cursed the world
Nevertheless. he was able to consume
a great number of cigarettes between
the sea and Charing Cross, and. as
he smoked he made stern, heroic reso-
lutians regarding his career. He would
now take IL seriously in hand. he
would businesS-m manage himself he
saw in the cletr light OF great as
appointment that he had hitherto paid
too much attention to the production
of masterpieces and too little to the
advertising of them. 1t was evidently
homeless TO expect the appreciation of
a stupid and uncritical public TO come
to his work. and the great critic whom
he had confidently looked for had not
vet put in an appearance. If, then,
the critic would not come to Mahomet
Mahomet would go to the critic. He
would purchase the most expensive art
critic there was in the market; then
the tardy public would learn that a
genius had lived among them I'M
recognized.
AS his comprehensive plans took
final shape the train ram into the glass
rooted tunnel of Charing Cross. Bar
ney sprang into a hanson and drove
directly TO the works. "Beastly hole, :"
he said to himself as he gazed around
at the ruin the fire had wrought. The
ground was covered with cluttering
heaps of burnt and twisted iron, and
piles of new building material We're
scattered everywhere. The apparent
confusion and ugliness of it all Of
Tended his artistic sense. and he
thanked his stars that it was not nee
essary for him To spend his days there.
He accosted Sartwell, who had been
discussing some question with the ar
chitect, and shook the managers hand
with energy and cordiality.

moment I heard of the fire"
"Ah, said the manager, dryly.

NO" laughed Barney. mot quite so

winning his laurels and what little
cash would suffice for his frugal needs,
with his good right arm, assisted. pre-
sumably, by his paint brushes; so, in
the face OF this noble resolution it
would have been unfair to censure him
for the possession of riches he had no
hand in accommodating.

thinking little of the reprimand in store
for her, and much on the contrary con-
dftions of this world. She. like Barney,
needed advice, yet had no one in whom
she might confide. She thought OF
writing fully 10 her father, remember
ing her promise to tell him everything
that troubled her: but she shrank from
the thought almost as soon as it took
form in her mind. Besides. both com
plications We're settled finally and for
ever, so why worry him unnecessarily
about a page of her life on which was
written the word. 'Finis?" There
surged up in her heart u deep, passion
ate yearning for the mother she had
never known. and whom she now
missed as she had never missed before.

discuss anything with the new secre-
tary, he not being an employee OF

tation of my own men and sent them
to me. 1 received them, OF course
and they asked me if l would give
them Is per cent of their wages whlle

Is: 1 expect you all back at the works
on Monday l fancy I made the men
open their ewes a bit. Work will be
going on as usual within a week, ana
we won't be behind with q single order
The new factory, which is now being
built is in accordance with modern
ideas, and I expect to be able TO IN
crease our business so that the four
houses leased will be retained when the
new building is ready for occupation
Forgive this patting of myself on the
shoulder, but man must brag now
and then to some one, and you. my
dear Edna, are the only one to whom
1 can boast.
Yes. the COMPACT is still in opera
ton, and I'm glad you wrote about
your stepmother's letter, although
hope you will not take too seriously any
half-nysterical comments on my ty-
rannical conduct A man must act, and
one who acts is bound to make mis-
takes. Perhaps the discharge of Mars
ten was a mistake. l don't think so,
but Of course your stepmother does,
and. as facts always embarrass her,
she sees instant starvation and ALI the
rest of it. Everything, Edna, depends
on the point of view. A lighted match
is dropped by accident or design, and
falling on infammable material, GER
tain chemical changes take place; car
bonic acid gas is produced, and rae
tory goes down in ruins to supply the
materials for combustion. All this
seems perfectly natural to me, ana IN
accordance with established sclenIlnc
research. But your stepmothers point
of view is different. She sees the
finger Of Providence, and because
don't. I'm a scoffer. Now. I've as great
a belief and trust in Providence as
any one. but to me Providence works
sanely. 1t doesn't destroy a Factory
and Kill two men merely to show me
I'm in error because it could accom-
plish its purpose at much less expense
and trouble. l can't think that Prov
idence is less sensible than my little
girl. and she takes the right method.
She says in kindly fashion, rather, l
think YOU are wrong, and l want you
to reconsider She doesn't try to prove
me a heartless despot. 1 would at
once reconsider, and would invite Mars
ten back, but it is not necessary. he
is the new secretary of the union, with
a larger salary thar the wages he had
here. with his time practically his own,
and with ample opportunity for mis-
chief if he chooses to exercise ms
mower. 1 feel it in my bones that in one
ar two or three years / shall have to
firht him. It will be an interesting
struggle. but 1 shall win. So with this
final bit of brag 1 close my long letter.
I hope TO run down and see you on
Saturday, and meanwhile all the sym
pathy you have TO spare, lavish on
that iron-handed tyrant,

DENvER's NEW ART GALLERY.
A Temporary Building Of Staff to
be Erected at Once.

Denver News: Ever since the public
meeting held by the Denver Artists
club, some weeks ago, at which time
plans for al art gallery were consid-
cred, the members OF the club have
been busy, and now advance with the
settled plan to erect an art gallery on
one OF the small triangular Dlats of
ground on Park avenue, which belong
to the city. The park commissioners,
who control the ground, have an
nounced their willingness to allow the
Art club to build on one of these plats
and VIII probably take more formal
action today. The spot selected for the
building will be between Colfax and
Seventeenth avenues.
These triangles, which have mostly
beer turned into small parks by the
park commissioners, are about 100 feet
long on each side, and will allow the
erection OF a handsome and rOomv
building for the purpose of displaying
pictures. The commissioners will make
an arrangement with the Art club
whereby the city will receive a share
of the fees, and this money will be
devoted to the purchase Of new pic
lures, which will be placed in the gall
lery. Admission to the gallery will
be free. and the gallery will be con-
Quoted on much the same principle as
those in eastern cities.
The building will be constructed of
staff at first, and will cost between
81, 500 and $4,000. AS funds are accu-
INFLATED the staff structure will be
covered with stone and thus a perma-
nent and durable building secured.
The Art club has been negotiating
for some time ror this site from the
civ or which 70 build. and it is said
that IRE terms are most satisfactory.
The triangular tracts along Park ave-
nue. are practically useless to the city
ar present. and one OF them will fur
nish al ideal location for an art gal
lery. The triangularity will admit of
something new and novel being erected
and a handsome ediice may be looked
for Several architects have already
submitted plans for an oblOng art gal
lery. which, of course, have proven SUI
perfiuOus. now that three-sided crea-
ton has been decided upon There are
a number of architects who are mem
bers of the club. and it viii not be long
until their ingenuity will be made evil
dent in further DESIGNS.

declined to join the Barons at his pres

arranged last night to Meaney's salts

condition that Wilkes-Ba would take
