Blind Luck.

In the Northern Pacific panic a
young New York man of leisure
cleared some 100000, the story OF
which has thus been told: Years
before that eventful 9th of May,
Blue Thursday: he had been in
duced to buy 800 shares OF Northern
Pacific at $50 outright and lay
them away in safe deposit vault.
This investment of $500 was for.
gotten until the afternoon of May 8,
when an old friend in the street
said to the boy: where is that
northern Pacific you bought in 81?
| think you said you had several
hundred SHARES. 1t is likely to raise
he sky in tn street tomorrow. II
5 lending over night at So per cent,
and | expect to see the price go
above 200" The boy found his
guardian and got the stock out OF
the vault one minue before it closed
for the day. On Thursday he sold
it for $3.50 share, realizing S225,-
900. He managed to do this be-
cause he was rich already and did
not need the money.

DOUGLA


f0riginal.l
The day I went TO the country I
found Marcella much depressed. I
was told that Peter Douglas had gone
the day before. She said nothing to
me about Douglas, and | supposed she
was not aware that knew of his hay
ing been there, At any rate, she gave
herself away by asking me to play
Accomplishments for her and Insisted
on singing:
oh won't you come back to me- Douglas,
Douglas, tender and true?
did not mind it at FIRST but when
found that she could never go to the
plano without wanting to sing the
Douglas song I tired Of it. Finally.
one misty q ening when she appeared
more than mally depressed after the
invitation to Douglas to come back to
her, she-well she wept; wept with me.
an able bodied, fairly attractive man
present to entertain, amuse, interest
her / wished that Douglas would
come back and remain long enough in
the grounds for me to 60 out and
punch his head
finally intimated that this Douglas
business was growing tiresome think
ing she would mend her ways. What
was my surprise when she sorrowed
more for Douglas than ever Besides
she seemed hurt, If not offended, that
/ should take so matter of fact a view
OF what she called tender associa-
tons and refused to allow me TO play
the accompaniment again, playing il
herself and stumbling at every note.
Something must be done. Two weeks
once a year are too short to be spoiled
by such nonsense, and / resolved on 9
stroke. One evening, after she had
walled the usual plant to Douglas,
vert to the piano, and after few
melancholy chords sang:
o Mary. dear. departed shade.
