NEMESIS.

In the latter part OF 1883 dashing
young man of about forty-five. we'll
grooned and confident. flushed with a
number Of successes in the world OF
speculation. returned from Europe
where he had gone to engineer an en-
terprise TO his financial advantage.
During the same year a student OF law,
completing his senior year in the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. was pouring
over his books preparatory to taking
his degree.
The former had already tasted sue
cess; he had proved his ability in a
certain sort of nnanciering. He had
a splendid home. wife and friends. The
future promised much 10 him. The
latter was about to be admitted to the
bar TO become hrieness barrister and
with q reputation yet to be earned
The fnancier decided that in order to
add certain honors TO his already In
dependent position he would engage IN
politics. He glanced over the field
and decided that Delaware offered cer-
tain Inducements. SO he took the
train TO Dover and on it's arrival an
nounced bis candidacy for the United
States Senate.
Meanwhile the young law student
had been admitted, and his small sign
was hung out--a modest invitation for
clients to enter. At first they were
slow In accepting the invitation, but
finally they became impressed with the
ability and integrity OF the young at
torney and came oftener. The fnancier
in the meantime found that he had
undertaken the greatest task OF his
life, but he argued that the weapons
that had been successful in stock
manipulations would work In politics.
When reduced to its elemental princi-
pies the system was very simple. 1t
meant TO pay for the goods If that
was necessary and TO keep up a huge
blum. He poured IN money derived
from small investors. and covered the
state with corruption fund as with
blanket. but all to no avail he could
not be elected Senator
But during these fifteen years the
young attorney had won a reputation
as "A shrewd. honest and brilliant law
YER lie knew a great deal about cor
poratlons and OF the methods ofwreck-
ing them. SO when one day a judge
was asked to appoint a receiver for O
bankrupt concern that had been used
as an agency to swindle thousands OF
investors. he thought Of our lawyer

the other started to practice law. One
was arrogant, shameless. and apparent
ly rejolced In his power to corrupt his
ferowmen. The other modestly de-
voted his talents to the pursuit Of his
profession. Then they met. and the
young lawyer began to wind in the
net in which the corruptionist had been
so long entangling himself. The end
is not yet for the net is long and
strangely tangled. and Nemesis does
not always move with haste.
