full to William c. Whitney: then peo- pie began to speak of Whitney, Ryan and Brady" But Whitney liked horses yachts. hunting. feminine soci- ety. Ryan worked. Even before Whit ney's death he was the real head of the Metropolitan. He engineered the raid upon the great Third Avenue rail- road line. First controlling one little cross-town street car line. he became the power in Metropolitan which has first and last ''cut melons" worth about &200. .000, 900. and is now not earning its guaranteed dividend-but its stock is distributed" Ryan is the tobacco trust. He is the real head of the Mor- ton Trust company. He is a power in southern railroads. He is the strong man in the almost crowning iniquity of the gas trust in New York From the ownership of a little local one horse electric light company he has become the Edison company. Not per sonally the chief owner of all these things, but their commanding spirit.

A STUDY IN BUSTERS
'DERMIT me to see your hand" !"
 said Miss Van Ether.

DERMIT me to see your hand,
 said Miss Van Ether
 We were not playing poker, Miss Van Ether and l, as you might surmise fl you had ever played with her. When ever she was in doubt she had an i'm. perious way of demanding an examina- tion of my cards before she would bet and 1 never showed her three aces with more reluctance than I felt in extending my hand to her in this in. stance. The truth is my hands are ugly at best and I always avoided games at parties because attention was invariably directed to my several Crooked baseball" fingers..,i ' ox. |
 "Blisters." Miss Van Ether went on as she turned my hand upward, "and fresh ones at that. We'll, we'll. No, Here is one that is older than the rest, and here is one-well. should say you had worn this for long time. Funny never noticed it before"
 Really Miss Van"
 Pray don't interrupt my train of thought. You know. I have learned the system of deduction"
 You embarrass me greatly" 1 in- sisted. My hands are so beastly hor- rid and really don't like to show them. Cant you deduce from my neck tie, or"
 "Blisters. horrid?" she interposed. "On the contrary they are beautiful : that is the study of them is beautiful, or-or-at least very interesting Why, from looking at these swelled evidences l can deduce great deal about you that I never knew before Let me tell you lots about yourself" !"
 Miss Van Ether was always so frank with me that was really afraid to submit to the ordeal. She was so full of surprises never knew what to expect. and l also knew that there was nothing she could ask of me that wouldn't do. So. of course submit ted. making the mental determination to laugh her out of the idea before she had gone far enough to do any dam age.
 Tn the first place" Miss Van Ether began. screwing little thought wrinkles into her forehead. T deduce that you have q furnace in your house. l de- duce yop do-"
 "The deuce you do." could not re- sist paraphrasing.
 { "Deduce do." she replied. smiling "and also deduce that you do the :. firing of the furnace-or did as long \, as the furnace was in use. Your fur mace has been cold some little time You also have a lawn al home. quite 3 . considerable lswn-I should say 5o- 1bot front and about 150 feet deep

 was getting quite uneasy. The truth of her deductions was startling to me, and had no desire for her u pry deeper into my affairs.
 "At least you could not tell abou, the dog by my blisters." said by way of interruption. Plating a dog does not raise blisters."
 She smiled at me compassionately.
 "Still no one but white dog with long hair would leave this long white hair just inside the knee of your trou. sers. deduce that the dog tried to jump into your lap"
 l could not deny the truth of hei deduction.
 But about the trees?" asked Surely you don't think have GU. down the tree-that is. if c.ere is 2 tree. That is about the only way l could get bisters in this connection. |"
 "I did deviate . little in the matter of the dog and the tree" said Miss Van Ether. frowning just little, I thought "but both things were so clearly evi. dent couldn't refrain from mention ing them. As you took of your hat in the hall noticed twig in the brim. The same thing happened to father this morning as he was browsing around the yard, and 1 happened to notice it."
 You really are very clever" l ac- knowledged. "I was under our tree just before 1 came. But still don't understand how you found out about the furnace and the yard and all those other things"
 Simplest thing in the world" Miss Van Ether remarked. rather proudly, and so saying she led me to the win dow and pointed outdoors.
 You see we have some flower beds there is the tree 1 was speaking of we also have . lawn 5Ox1oO. and it was moved for the first time yester- day. This blister is an old one. IL is one you raised tending to the furnace in the winter. These two came from spading the garden. these from rak- ing 1t. this trace of dirt under this fingernail is from planting the sweet peas. and these fine new blisters are the result of moving the lawn this afternoon"
 Really. Miss Van Ether" ex- claimed laughingly. you don't mean to say that I did all these things in Sour yard. That Is too good"
 ''I had no intention of conveying any such impression" she replied. severe

for $7O0, 1000, or $26,0o0,000 an acre. The building is little old tobacco shop 30 feet by 39 in size, and leased for three years longer. Dear old Benjamin D.. Silliman, who owned it, was proud of the possession of the most valuable piece of real property in the world. He was no king of finance, but an old Yale man. something of lover of science, we'll connected with scholarly men. For years the shop netted him but a small return upon its enormous value, but he gained steadily by it's enhance ment in value. It was in his family nearly 80 years. In that time 1t had grown in value from less than $20, 900 to $700,00O, besides constantly paying rental. Silliman refused to sell 1t while he lived. Once broker offered to cover the site with gold dollars for it. Silliman said he'd sell If the dol lars were set edgewise.
 Even more remarkable in a way is the doom of the Plaza hotel. This, often announced, is now at hand It cost 5000 ,000 It is a splendid struc- ture. It is ten stories high But be- cause it's site is so fine, overlooking the Fifth avenue entrance to Central park, it must bs more worthily crowned. So another in the endless succession of the finest hotel in New York" is to grace Its site. This is to be somewhat larger on the ground, to be Is stories high. and-they say-to cost $15.000.000. This do not believe. There are to be 1000 rooms in the house. and this price would mean that each room, with it's share of the land price and of the kitchen. dining room, etc. must cost q. 100000, which would be rather steep.
