across the street And maybe SYM
pathy will be worth an order" he
called back over his shoulder as he
struck the store steps.
Although it was late March, 1t was
still nipping cold. red fire roared in
the base burner INSIDE old GIBBS store.
Old Glib himself sat close beside it, his
eye ranging all the miscellaneous mer-
chandise which crowded shelves and
floor. His three clerks had been on
the jump all morning, but toward noon
there came a lull. He was about to
send two of them off to dinner when
the door opened wide, and Merton
came through, with Joe Beenam in his
wake and Dr. Waters and Lew Bayne
marching solemnly behind. Joe's face
was white, his eyes brilliant, his figure
tense in every line. Indeed he looked
desperate. and his voice rang hard as
he said, stopping short three feet
away:
Mr.. Ezell, 1 have come to ask you,
here In the presence of these witnesses,
to release me from my promise. You
know well how it was given-with
total misapprehension of the truth"
you mean you want to take my
daughter, as well as my trade, and
leave me, cripple, to starve" old Glib
roared
Joe set his teeth. II mean nothing of
the sorty he said "Give me your
daughter and our home shall be yours.
/ will serve and care for you as would
for my own father
you won't get the chance" old Glib
sneered. Joe half turned to his friends
and whispered sepulchrally: go away!
Quicky'
Going to murder me, hey?" old Glib
shifted.
Joe stood very straight The others
had skunk toward the door, with the
awed clerks budding after. They
heard Joe shout:
1T is not murder! l shall give my
life to free Florrie from your intolera-
BILE tyranny
Then they saw him fling wide the
stove door and dash into it what
seemed like several pounds of gun
powder.
Old Glib saw it too With one wild,
whooping yell he leaped from his chair,
regardless of crutches, of everything
but flight, rushed madly for the door.
darted through it and did not pause
until he came painting and trembling
to his own gate. AS he chung there the
others overlook him, as breathless as
himself betwixt running and laughing.
DR.. Waters made low bow. IF
had thought three pounds of black sand
would be so effectual, l would have
had you well long ago." he said
Merton dragged Joe forward "If
you want to kick anybody, kick me-
he said to old Glib. II put this lad"
patting Joe's shoulder, "up to playing
you that trick
"HumphI | knew he didn't have the
brains for 1t himself" old Glib snorted
But. though he had found his legs, he
was none the less old Glib. The fact
was proved by his letting Joe and
Florrie marry almost out of hand and
presenting them with both his store
and his blessing.

A BONANZA AUCTION.
Fancy Prices Paid For Ambassador
HouaehOId GOOda

Fancy Prices Paid For AmbassadOr's
Household Goods.
The retiring French ambassadors
household effects were sold at auction
the other day, says a Washington spe-
cial to the New York World 1t has
often been said that foreign diplomats
upon leaving usually sell their goods
for three times as much as they had
paid for them. Chairs Mr.. Cambon
probably paid $16 or $50 for sold for
$75 and 500, and so on. Fashionable
society was represented. and men and
women bid against each other with
acrimony.
The Persian minister paid a high
price for lace curtains Some veteran
shoppers said similar curtains can be
bought new at half what General Khan
paid. Well worn rugs were bought by
Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney for her
fine collection. The sale netted bigger
prices than any held in recent years.
Not even the effects of Lord Paunce-
fote caused such spirited bidding.

commanding, Il want to know why"
The woman had been listening with
bowed head, but with a strangely hap
by light cleaning in her eyes. Hesitat-
ingly, tncoherently, she explained her
conduct in Paris, in London and aboard
ship. Before she finished Hackett, pos
sessing himself of both her hands, ex-
claimed:
"And you really thought it was that
child! oh, Leslie, Leslie, couldn't you
read the truth In my eyes?"
Mrs. Burns suddenly recalled her du-
ties as chaperon. She withdrew her
hands from his masterful grasp.
How could l look you in the eye
when l knew l was unfaithful to the
trust imposed on me by Mrs Cuscad-
den?'
The old piquant humor rang in her
voice. She had risen. From the saloon
came the Naturalization of light
music. The deck was free from prone
naders. They were alone for the first
time in five years.
"Oh, what will Mrs. Cuscadden say?'
Hackett bent over her to gather up
her wraps.
Il really don't see that she has any,
thing to do with out little affair, provid-
ed you return her daughter heart whole

A shadow fell across the bar of light,
then another, and the figure of a girl
was silhouetted against the brilliant in
terror Of the ship.

MORGAN TO THE RESCUE
Takes UP Unstable Securities of
Trust Cor,-rv

Trust Company.
New York, Nov. 13.-Mr Morgan and
his friends have found ii necessary to
take up the unsuitable securities of the
United states Shipbuiltling company
and thereby save the Trust Company OF
the Republic
In all about S4,G00,OC0 bonds were in
ialr way to undo n trust company
whose list of directors includes II num-
per Oh We'll known names. lSut not UNI
til the prospective embarrassment Of
the trust capital threatened ether in
terests vas the concern helped out.
This fact is taken to point foreiDly a
moral, and that is the great quantity
of undigested securities Which is be-
ginning to be regarded with consider
aable lack of complaceney. Mhcn a
financial community which readily
floated Sf000,G00,000 of securities OF
one company balllss at iakiag care of
600, there is presented Il piece OF
safety that the serious minded cannot
fail to contemplate.
Again it will be noticed that Mr..
Morgan's associates had to come for
ward as saviors. Why? These people
nave already millions it might be near
billion, OF unnarketed securities.
There are other groups of capital al
ways ready to take on bargains: Some
now, though, they dld not choose TO
pick up these $4,000.000 bonds, although
the United States Shipbuilding COM
pany is understood to be doing Il good
business. The eleventh hour purchas-
ers, therefore, had to perform AN un-
willing but necessary task in order to
save Il larger situation. To speak plain
ly, it resolves itself merely into Il case
of might have been worse"
So far as the general market for Sc
NO 1Na,,
speculative interests closely allied With
Mr. Morgan are doing nothing in
stocks. With ample private resources
they stand to one side and watch the
more confident and hopeful get into the
market only to regret it later.
