tonight, I will submit for your
careful thought proposition
whereby if we do not gain the de-
sired end, we cannot be losers to
any appreciate extent. My plan
is this: Suppose we follow the
advice of Horace Greeley and go
west and grow up with the country
for year or two; not to mingle
in the society Of their cities or
advertise ourselves as the sons of
our daddies, or show by any out
ward indication that we are pos
sessed Of more means than would
be natural for men in the positions
that we may choose to take, to
have. With our athletic train
ing, We are strong and in vigorous
health and could take upalmostany
employment, and in the pursuit Of
pleasure beftting our new modus
of life, we might be enabled to find
some congenial spirit that would
be willing to share with us what
seemed our portion, and we could
then rest assured that we had been
accepted from standpoint of true
worth, instead of the fictitious
power given us by the possession
of wealth or position
''To my mind, your ideas are
nearly perfect, and to join with
you to finish in their consuma-
ton, will be a pleasure [ shall es-
TEEN. Have you worked out any
Of the details of your plan?
Where and when do you propose
to make your start?"
'For my part said Thad, II
shall take the avocation Of the
farmer; it is unnecessary that we
choose the same, you might enter
into any light business that would
not require any lavish display Of
wealth.
AL thought himself suited as
commission merchant, in which he
thought the peculiar advantage
was that he might be riding about
the country in quest of his wares
and with an eye open for anything
else that might interest him.
Without the formality Of an
elaborate farewell to their hosts Of
friends in society, but with celebrity
that at least indicated an energy
of purpose, the next day we find
our friends on the rear platform of
a west-bound sleeper, dressed as to
them seemed fitting for the avoca-
tons of their new professions.
Thad in a blue roll collar shirt
with suit to match, and AL in a
modest business suit of gray; so
quiet was their raiment, ''that by
comparison, Kittens tread was
loud" was AIS jocular remark,
after survey.
Naturally their conversation was
based on details Of contemplated
experiences, and as it will be a
part of our duty to recite the real
events Of their venture, it may be
to say that in due pro-
cess they finally embarked at the
bustling little city of Richmond,
Wisconsin, where they proposed
taking their initial step.

much OF how fOOllShly they
could spend of the fortunes that
had come to them without their
efforts.
Seated in comfortable easy
chairs in this warm and cosy club,
they were silently and meditatively
smoking, with no seeming topic
worthy of discussing, perhaps con-
selling themselves with the thought
that no duty called upon them to
brave the elements then raging so
furiously outside.
"Thad, what does this butterfly
existence that we are pursuing
amount to-will we, by following
it, make anything Of our lives that
we can look back to with pride =?
I for one, am heartily sick of such
frivolity, and am willing to take
desperate measures to lift myself
out of society's bubble. Our set
for instance; between the city in
winter, the sea shore in summer,
and in following the extremes of
fashion, lead a life as near ap-
preaching a nonentity as could
we'll be imagined.
'Now Thad, you and I have ar
rived at the age when we must
have some higher ambition than
the dictates of society prescribe.
In fact, [ want to get married, and
get settled down in life; but when [
look about me in society, I cannot
find the one who from my stand
point approaches my ideal of true
womanhood, in fact, they are
hardly worthy the name"
"What have you been reading
AL, or is it the elements that have
so dampened your usually bright
and sunshiny nature? Since
you speak of the fair sex, however,
and seem to invite an expression
from me on the tender subject of
marriage, [ cannot but say that
your summary Of the character Of
the women we meet in society's
gilded 400, does border on the
fair, tickle and false idea Of
morals; and following out a
thought that has ever been present
with me since I have had aught to
do in the realm Of society, [ am
free to remark, that with my pres
emit pleasing prospects in life l
could imagine no greater cloud
upon my future existence than
that [ should have to lead to the
altar Of Hymenial bliss, any of the
society bellies it has been our
pleasure to meet thus far.
1T has been we'll said. however,
that it is not we'll for man to live
alone:;' and as we cannot hope to
revolutionize society, and make
the gentler sex appear in the true
colors of womanly modesty and
pride in we'll doing that should by
nature grace their finer feeling, we
must, l suppose, submit to the in
evitable and join issues in the
lottery of hope, each one trusting
that he will gain a prize. If you
have any plan to expound wherein
our conditions will be bettered, or
our chances Of a prize increased,
consider that you have in me an
eloquent listener, but [ warn you,
that society is the same the world
over, today, tomorrow, and yester-
day."
81 agree with you Thad, old boy,
that of all the states in the Union,
the marriage state is par excel
lance the best; and could I but
feel assured that my wealth or
position in society were not the
incentive or magnet of a possible

sary exposure out of the question
on an evening late in March, 1900,
finds two of New Works swell
society men, pleasantly discussing
their after dinner Havanas in one
of the many famous downtown
clubs.
Both we're rich, handsome, and
cultured, and we'll endowed with
that which society in general, and
the 400 Of New York in particular,
deems inappropriate or at least
unnecessary-brains.
Theodore Halgrave was the es-
pecial mark Of many designing
mamma, and had held this dis
tinguishing position for the past
two seasons, during which time,
no social event Of much impor.
lance had been considered quite
1.-The thing" unless adorned by
his presence.
This happy condition of affairs
Aad become possible by virtue of
numerous elements of success
which, when conferred in one,
could but make of him a society
hero.
To enumerate his claims to So
ciety's friendship it is but neces-
sary to say, that rich and doting
uncle had considerably died, max
ing his nephew independent Of
life's cares and troubles for all
time to come.
In personal appearance he was
all that one could wish, being of
gladitorial proportions, a face of
high intellectually, dark brown
curling hair, and eyes that would
have commanded respect and ad-
miration from any of Gotham's
bellies, with or without the backing
of a fortune. Perhaps his par
ticularly bright and shining para
mount issue,'' was the advantage he
gained by reason of being one of
the heroes of San Juan Hill, where
she strange amalgram of cowboy
and dude, put forth a body Of men
for whom no American need ever
blush.
His position in the Rough
Riders was modest one, being as
he expressed it "a high private in
the rear rank"
Small wonder we think, that he
was made the object of all the in
trigue for which society is famed,
for with these advantages, he could
only have been rated good catch.
His friend, Adelbert Lochren,
was a young man of different dis
tinctions, but possessing all that
society ever craves-wealth.
His faith r, one Of the many
merchant princes of New York,
had at hisdeath sufficiently provid-
ed for his wife and only son.
His mother having departed this
life two years previous to the
opening of our story, had left Al
as he was most Familiarity known
in handsome position financially.
With black hair and eyes, clear
cut features and a determined,
almost defiant expression, taken
in connection with the athletic
physique gained by many rough
and tumble on the gridiron of his
alma mater, we have type of
manhood not easily excelled, and
by virtue of these possessions and
his wealth, he too, was considered
one of the catches of the season.
Thad and AL were sworn friends,
belonged to the same clubs, moved
in the same circles Of society,
admired and discussed the frivo-
lous debuntants and confded in
each other their respective plans
and hopes. Although luxurious
