It told the news to the passerby.
For week the Wall street boom
had been the sensation of New York
and of the country. The perpetual
excitement which reigns within the
shadow of Trinity church had per-
meated Office and counting room. 1t
was the whispered topic of conversa-
tiOn among clerks, and the noisy sub
ject of debate in hotel lobby and
corridor. The iargon of the Stock
Exchange was incorporated into met
ropolitan English. The tales of for
tunes made to the clicking music of
the ticker, aroused the cupidity of
thousands, who saw in the whirl of
speculative frenzy the prospect of
wealth without work. Newspapers
fed the flame and We'd in displaying
and narrating the golden exploits of
magnate and operator.
On this Tuesday morning headlines
and text covered the front page of
the New York Record and proclaimed
the following story:

joys and Woes.

NEW YORK. April 1S.--With feeble,
tottering steps Jonathan Reed made
his way through Evergreen Cemetery
today to the tomb in which rests the
body of his wife. There have been few
days since she died, nine years ago
that he has not made the journey, but
the sands OF life are running low and
his long pilgrimage is near an end
1t took all OF his little strength to
open the granite door ond enter the
vault Then he walked to the hermeti-
cally sealed coffin In which his wife's
body lies. and said:

sit with you all day"
He spoke the words soft and low, as
If soothing a child who was i'll. Every
morning Ii is the same Never does he
fail TO greet her and talk to her just
as he did in life.
When he bids his wife good night
and leaves the tomb he goes TO little
room in a house at No. l50 North

| the morning he starts back for the
tomb. In the few last months he has
been arriving later and later. for the

until he was q years old, when his
