Every man was broker in stocks. Bulb
bles, bubbles, dreams, fantasies-these
We're the things all carried in their
hands and in their hearts. These
made the object of their desire, Of
their pursuit unimaginably passionate
and frenzied.
With leap from the somberness Of
the reign Of Louis, all France went to
the extreme of levity. Costumes
changed. Manners, but late devout,
grew debonair. Morals, once lax, now
grew yet more lax. The blaze and
tinsel, the music and the rouge, the
wine, the flowing, uncounted gold-all
Paris might have been called golden
brothel OF delirious delight, tenanted
by people utterly gone mad.
1t was a house made of bubbles. Its
domes were of bubbles. It's roof was
of bubbles, and its walls. It's windows
were of that nacreous film. Even its
foundations had naught in them more
substantial than an evanescent dream
of gauze-like web, frail as the spiders
house upon the dew-hung grasses.
Yet as to this latter there should be
somewhat Of qualification. The wizard
who created this fairy structure saw
1t swiftly grow beyond it's original
plan, saw unforeseen results spring
from those causes which were first
well within his comprehension.
Berated by later generations as an
adventurer, a schemer, charlatan,
Law originally deserved anything but
such a verdict Of his public. Dishon-
est he was not insincere he never was:
and, as a student of fundamentals, he
was in advance Of his age, which Ia
ever, to be accursed.. His method was

CHAPTER XXxvI.
THE GREATEST NEED.

There sprang now with incredible
swiftness upward and outward an
Aladdin edifice of illusion. 1t was as
though indeed this genius who had
waved his wand and hidden this fairy
palace of chimera to arise had used
for his material the intangible, rides
cent film of bubbles, light as air.
Wider and wider spread the balloon Of
phantasm. Higher and higher it float
ed. on it fixed the eyes of France. And
France laughed, and asked that yet
other bubbles should be blown.
All France was mad, and to its mad
ness there was joined that of all
Europe. The population of Paris
doubled. The prices of labor and COM
modities trebled in day. There was
now none willing to be called artisan.

DR.. Parkhurst asks for it. It is unnec-
cessary to say that all these people
nave no sympathy with the saloon.
They regard 1t as a necessary evil UNI
der the circumstances and are almost
oltter toward those who assert without
knowing the fact that the Sunday
opening is the road to ruin.
There are two answers which the
church people, the Settlement people
and the officers of the law, like District
Attorney jerome are accustomed to
make:
First, the saloons are open now.
many of them; the "Raines Law Ho-
tells" legally open, others illegally open.
10 have them open against the law
keeps no one sober and brings the law
into contempt
Second, the feeling that the reform
element" tries to keep the saloons
closed drives thousands of honest peo-
pie who do not go to church, but who
do take a drink now and then to vote
on the wrong side in most municipal
questions. This alone gives the 'sa-
ASoAA Po"oA lis POLITICAL importance.
There is no doubt that the saloon
men voted for the reform candidate in
1901 because they were tired of the
price Tammany made them pay for the
privilege of breaking the law. Last
fall they voted for Tammany because
they found the reform administration
unable to furnish the promised ''liB-
eral construction Of the law. In both
instances they carried the day.
y And so the whole matter comes up
again before the legislature in the form
Of local option measures, each Of which
is worse than most of the others. It
has even been proposed that each cleo
ton district have the right to vote
upon the Sunday opening question.

fact. all France Is to so ,i.on a differ.
emit footing"
The glances of the Prince de Cont
and the Austrian met each other. The
Jew drew long breath as he sat hack
In his chair, his hands grasping at the
edge of the table. Try as he might. he
scarce could keep his chin from trem-
bling. He licked out his tongue to
moisten his lips.
There is so much" resumed Var
enne, chat tits hard to tell 1t all. But
you must know that this Banque
Royale will be still more powerful than
the old one. There will be incorporated
with it, not only the Company Of the
West, but also the General Company
of the Indies, as you know, the most
considerable mercantile enterprise of
France. Now listen! Within the first
year the Banque Royale will issue one
thousand million livres in notes. This
embodiment of the Compagnie Generate
of the Indies will warrant, as know
by the secret plans of the bank. the
issue Of notes amounting to two billion
livres. Therefore, as Monsieur de
la Chaise signifies, he who is lucky
enough to-day to own a few actions
Of the Banque Royale, or even the
old actions of Monsieur Las bank,
which will be redeemed by its sue
cessor, is in way to gain greater sums
than were ever seen on the face of
any investment from the beginning of
the world until to-day! Now, as was
about to ask OF you, Monsieur Fras-
lin"
The speaker turned in his chair to
where Fraslin had been but moment
before. The chair was empty.
"Our friend stepped to the door but
on the instant" said De la Chaise.
HE is perhaps"
THAT he has," cried Varenne. "He
is the first of us to profit! Monsieur
le Prince, in virtue of what have said
to you, if you could favor me with an
advance of a few hundred louis, could
assure my family Of indeueudenco.
Monsieur lie Prince! Monsieur le
Prince"
Monsieur lie Prince, however, was
not so far behind the Austrian! Var
enne followed him, Juggling at his coat,
but Cont shook him off, sprang into
his carriage and was away.
ITO the Place Vendomel" he cried
to his coachman, "and hasten!"
De la Chaise, aristocratic, handsome
and thick-witted, remained alone at
the table, wondering what was the
cause of this sudden commotion. Var
enne reappeared at the door wringing
his hands.
What is it, my friend?" asked De
la Chaise. "Why all this haste? Why
this confusion?"
"Nothing!" exclaimed varenne, BIT
terly, Except that every minute of
this day is worth million francs.
Man, do you know?"- in his frenzy
he caught De la Chaise by the collar
and half shook him out of his usual
calm-"man, can you not see that Jean
Las has brought revolution into Paris?
oh! This Las, this devil of a Las!
A thousand louis, my friend, hum
dred, ten-give me but ten louis, and
will make you rich! A day of miracles
Is here!"
