Ton ii, hearing feminine scream from the interior of the chair as 1t went over. started to assist in fighting it. but be- fore he reached the spot the two bear CTS had already succeeded in doing SO; then too, the sight of the doer of all this mischief about to make his es- cape changed his purpose, so not stop ping at the place of the accident. he rushed on toward the horse and rider.

Mrs. Jack Gardner Goes over Pier
 p6nt Morgnn's Oner of s4O,O0o.
 J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Jack Gardner are hungrily watching one an- others efforts to buy from Count Cos tarelii of Mount Auburn street. Cam bridge-husband of the famous Maude Murraf. to Whom fortune gave brains, beauty and wealth-his fistful of dust that once was part of the flesh and bone of the poet Dante, says Boston special dispatch to the New York Press. The treasure consists of a laurel leaf from the bronze crown which encir- cled the brow of Dante when he was carried to his last resting place and some of the dust of the poet taken from the tomb thirty years ago, when the ashes were removed from Ravenna to Florence.
 This composite relic was considered so priceless that it was sealed in gold case and placed in strong vault of Costarell Castle, in Sicily, with the Idea that it would remain forever a family heirloom unless the Italian gov ernment desired to acquire 1t. Recent ly, however, its fame led to such tempt ing offers for its purchase that Count Costarelli, who represents the family. has been induced to consider them. The contest has narrowed down to Mrs. Gardner, who Is said to want the relic for her Italian palace, and Mir. Morgan. who has spent enormous sums in the past few years on art treasures.
 Mir. Morgan's offer is understood to have been SiO,OOO. and Mrs. Gardner Is willing to improve on this to the ex- tent of few thousands. There Is a feeling among art lovers in Boston that the relic will find its way to the palace in fho Epps

keep them other than the receptacle for all the accumulated filth and refuse from the houses that lined their sides. The discomfort of the foot passengers was augmented by the puddles of wa ter that collected between the paving stones, many of which had been re- moved.
 Tonti had turned into neighbor- ing street. which was abominably paved, and was engaged in gingerly picking his way so as to avoid both the dirt and water, when he beheld a sedan-chair slowly approaching him. The bearers were in livery. and the chair was of so fine make as to indi- cate that the owner was person of rank and wealth.
 "perchance some such chair contains my Lily of Poitou," muttered Tonti to himself; and as he did so. he smiled at the thought of his ever being able to give up woman in the abstract for woman, however beautiful.
 While engaged thus, he did not hear the warning sound of horses hoofs up- on the paving-stones close behind him. It was only when this sound was ac. companied by a harsh human voice that he turned quickly and leaped aside, as he saw horseman riding at full speed almost upon him. He did not escape entirely, for the huge stirrup of the rider caugtt him blow in the y1vy h hiv,, Hxy1,t O at the same time shower of mingled mud and water from the horses hoofs splashed over his new, boots.
 He sprang forward with an angry cry, his hand on his sword, in pursuit of the man whose carelessness had caused the accident. The blow in the side did not ruffle him half as much as the ruin of the boots he had paid 200 Evres for within the hour. The man turned in his saddle, and shook his fist at him, but did not slacken his speed. Wrapped as he was in a huge cloak, with his hat pulled down over his eyes, Tonti could not get a glimpse of his face. His cry, however, soon changed from one of anger to that of alarm and warning, for the man, still half turned in his saddle, and regarding Tonti with menacing air, did not see that his horse was about to collide with the chair and it's bearers. He turned as he heard their warning shouts, but not in time to change his horses course, who the next moment plunged into the first bearer, knocking him down. and dashed against the side of the chair with sufficient force to send it toppling over with a crash. despite the efforts of the bearer in the rear to prevent it's overthrow.
 The horse staggered and finally stumbled, sending his rider sprawling on tha pavement. He was not hurt. for he jumped up, and after his horse

 HOW ToNTI MEETS WITH BEAUTY
 AND THE BEAST AND GETS A
 BLOW FOR HIS PAINS.
 The next noon found Tonti and Pom. pon back in their quarters in the Place de la Greve. Pompon once more, with dyed face and sailor clothes, played the servant, for fear of discovery by some outsider coming in upon them suddenly.
 The table was set for three, and the evidence of their recently acquired wealth was seen in the profuse ex- penditure for the meal before them. The nearest cook-shop had been called into requisition. and the owner there of gasped with surprise at the number and quality of the dishes ordered to be served in a garret bedroom.
 A pot of steaming bullion sat at one ale of the board were placed a dish of mackerel cooked in fennel. a whole pheasant. three great slices of ham. a plate of mutton seasoned with garlic, a capon. bowl of salad. a small dish of the new vegetable peas. two large dishes of pastry. and. to top it of, the greatest delicacy of all. plate of oranges. For lack of room on the table. six large bottles occupied the floor near by. representing the liquid portion of the feast.

NOVEL OF THE FUTURE.
Hall Caine Thinks It Will Re of a
 Religious Type,


 The novel will be religious in the highest and best sense just in the de gree in which 1t is permeated by the sense of life. writes Hall Caine in the Booklovers Magazine. In this way think the novel of the future will be- come more and more the religious nov. el: that it will only be accepted. wheth- CT by the plowinan or the philosopher. in the degree in which it unites with the simplest pictures of human life the deepest problems of humanity.
 I think this is the great hope for the novel of the future, and I would not be understood to say that in any degree 1t excludes what is called the romantic novel or the novel of aiveAture or that it claims for fiction a conscious meta physical or religious intention I think the people writing novels in the time to come will be the best minds, the rich est natures, the strongest souls.
