baubles ever dug out of the soil were
worth.
1t seemed to McHenry that the sub
iect must be exhausted, but on the con-
trary there was just as much of it
next morning at breakfast. Arthur
had the natural desire of dutiful
husband to make himself agreeable;
and, finding that there was only one
possible theme of conversation, he
took it up as best he might, relating
some stories of the splendid follies OF
Lucullus, that he had found in re-
cent historical monograph.
Rarely had he gained so close atten-
ton, and he was naturally fattered;
pleased, besides, to crafty the ear OF
one he loved. So he talked on and on,
and at last his fancy caught up the
thread of possible romance, the story
of q modern Lucullus who should
astound New York with his magnif-
cence.
The idea took strong hold of him, and
he gave considerable time to it that
day, outlining the plot of the story and
arranging the balance of characters.
Before the end of the week, he had
written the Introductory chapter and
he read it to his wife though he had
never before been guilty of such an
acts He had occasionally told her the
plots of stories that he intended to
write, and always with the most dis
tressing results to himself. Rarely in
deed was a tale so told ever put down
on paper. But in this instance Anne
was enthusiastic.
"That will be great story" she said.
''It's different from your others; it's
interesting"
Arthur viewed both praise and slur
with cynical Indifference. He had
already grown cold to his new story.
and would have laid it aside forever.
In his soul he knew it to be "cheap" in
theme and plot, yarn for the vulgar.
He would never have written another
word of it If he had not seen in it a
means of revenging himself upon his
wife for her now ceaseless talk of
wealth and luxury.
1t is difficult for the most contented
of mankind to converse eternally of
things he cannot have without begin
ming to desire some of them. One is
no longer able to fail back upon the old
maxims or verses about peasants that
are happier with black bread and toll
than kings with banquets and no work
but the digesting of them. If one is
honest he must admit that steam
yacht is good thing, but what is the
use of talking about it all the time?
When such subjects became unbear-
able Arthur would rush to his den
and with heart full of bitterness
dash off few chapters of THE Mod
ern Lucullus" that would reek with
the most monstrous extravagances.
He laid his characters through fairy
land that was strictly up to date. In
the glory of golden light multi-mil-
lionaires and ulti-millionairesse
reveled in bliss, while-for the sake of
the contrast-poor but honest crea-
lures were depicted in outer darkness,
crashing their teeth. t
In his better moments Arthur real
lied that he was doing base and fool

Startling Facts Developed .

The trial at Wagner of the
parties charged with being impli-
Gated in the sa3, 600 Craak warrant
fraud has developed some start
ling facts regarding the honesty
of some of the Greek Nation of
ficials. The evidence thus far
introduced at the trial shows that
the Creek warrant committee
which was authorized by the
Creek council to investigate all
outstanding Creek warrants and
report to the chiet such as were
found to be valid, did just the
opposite of what they were author-
ized to do. The parties who held
the fraudulent warrants had
