was gone.
Stanton watched ms he disappeared in
the crowd, and, with a half-sigh, half
smile, remarked:
IF she thinks he is growing old she's
mistaken"

usurped the place, and the home
changed to his Office. He heard her
voice. He saw her eyes.
'She is here he muttered, and, turn
ing as though some one had spoken, he
looked, as he knew that he should look,
directly into her eyes. And yet it
caught his breath, and for moment
he could not move.
Her father was beside her, at one of
the little tables. lie was listening to
the music.
She seemed unconscious, almost as
though asleep and dreaming, dream
ing some delightful dream from which
it would be cruelty TO rouse her.
For moment Stanton's very life
seemed to stand still-as boat at the
vortex of the Norwegian pool stops
for an instant, shuslders, draws back
a handbrcadth, then plunges and is en-
quilted. And the whirling pool was

1t would have been easy to make the
plunge. 1t required superhuman
struggle to drag himself back from the
spell.
This is not asking her to help me
win my wife," he muttered. Grinding

Stanton took pains to have definite

which all Americans read, that he had

be should sail for America late in No
rember, without returning to the cap
ital.
IF we meet again it will be your own
fault now, and you will have to listen
to me. See?" he observed; but the
weeks slipped away without such an
Incident, and he found himself in Ma
pies upon the eve of sailing home.
Home?
How he had longed for that time to
comet
Now 1t suddenly appeared to him that
he had no home.
The stately, old-fashioned mansion
that he loved would be we'll aired and
warmed to receive him on the 9th of
December, for he had already sent the
order to Sam and his wife. But was
that all there was of home?
The good old couple would welcome
him blackjack to sleep and bath and
breakfast. But even that would in
crease their cares, and necessitate more
servants in the house to annoy them.
1t could not prove any real pleausre to
them.
What Is there, after all, in this going
home that I've been longing for?" he
asked himself, and the loneliness in
him answered: Nothing"
He was sitting at one of the little
tables, smoking, in that wondrously
picturesque garden stretching between
the broad and beautiful Chiaja and the
tncomparable Bay of Naples.
San MARITIME looked down from the
hill behind; Capri lay bright dot on
the blue water, and flashed, as the sun
went down, like diamond set in a
mirror of ruby and sapphire. The black
murderer of Pompeii and Herculaneum
drew royal Tyrian mantle about his
rugged sides and shrank away in the
deepening gloom till only his grim,
lava shadow stood in the cleaning
against the sky, under the eternal pill
lar OF smoke, and down the long garden
10000 lamps flashed out, enhancing its
marvellous beauty.
Even the walters seemed happy as
they dispensed the delicious creams
and fragrant coffee to those sitting at
the tables. From the grand pavilion
one Of the finest of Italian orchestras
rendered such music as might almost
have thrilled the frozen souls of the
marble gods and goddesses.
In the extravaganza of dreams Rob-
ert Stanton dreamed, not of the home
that would be, but of the home that
might be. He dreamed of Esther
Ihorndike there, his wife-his real
wife.

his teeth, he deliberately lifted his hat.
Then she woke with start. For q
moment she looked at him irrcsolutely.
Her head inclined just perceptibly, and
she looked away.
That alone would not have caused
Stanton to hesitate, but his heart was
throbbing. His muscles We're CULVER
ing. He did not dare to trust them.
Not here. 1t is too public" he said.
"But to-night-to-night, before sleep.

1t was impossible to sit there, yet he
would not have her think that she drove
him too easily. Slowly he settled his
bill, and very slowly made the usual
preparations for departure; but when.

The game was played at the time of

John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was
selling the stock short through Van
Schaicsz q Co, and at quarter to , on
the eventful day he received telegram
from his brokers advising him of the
situation. The game was stopped just
long enough for him to read it and lay
it aside. In 30 minutes a second dis
patcn arrived, was read and cast aside.
Doubleday was winning at the rate of
30 cents an hour What did he care
about Hannibal and St Joe? Later in
the afternoon third summons came
