The life of little Teddy Winlle hung evenly

sweetest encouragement sutfced to persuade him
to come back to life. Even then his Improvement
was slow to the last degree.
With no heart left in him for business Wooster
spent his time at the bedside of his little companion
Nevertheless, he had ample opportunity to reflect
upon what already had occurred, and to speculate
on what still likely was to happen.
He had been almost much surprised as the
Major at Aileen's quick subterfuge to save the
situation at the time of that last peculiar inter
view Her intent, however, had been as clear TO
him as it was to herself. His admiration for the
generosity and thoughtfulness Of her deed was
eaualed alone by the firner love and confidence

found battling and disquieting Since
Wooster had not forced the safe to
take the diamonds, what manner of
motive could it have been that
urged him to a deed so base?
Mentally reviewing the whole affair,
as events had occurred that night
when he came upon Wooster in the
study, the Major suddenly thought
of something that started the per-
spiration from every pore IN his body.
He became not only pale, but
weak. Why had he never thought
of this before? Why had forgetful-
ness so allayed his suspicious?
Those papers,-those papers 50

Trembling. as if in an ague, the
man went at once to the sonber box
of iron, and kneeling before it
fumbled the knob with his shaking
fingers till at length he shot the
bolt and swung open the ponderOus
door Then as swiftly as his
agitation would permit he inserted
the key in the inside lock and drew
out the drawer from which the dia-
mOnds had been taken that night
by his wife. With a frantic gesture
he felt in the small receptacle. 1t
was emPtyl
For a moment the man felt his
heart cease its beating. He all but
sank to the floor. He looked in the
drawer wildly, unable to believe he
had not deceived himself Not a
sign Of an envelop was there. He
tried to think. Was he sure he had
placed the papers there? He re-
called the coming of the missive
three months before-recalled his
partial reading of its contents, his
sickening emotions, as its dreadful
truths had been presented to his
mind, his one blind desire to secrete
it from the world till certain affairs
should be settled and the thing
could be destroyed. How could a
mere three months lapse of time
have 50 cheated his memory as to
let him forget this?
His weakness was well-nigh insup-
portable This was what Wooster
had been after! This was what he
had takenl a theft OF mere dia-
monds would have been as nothing,
compared with the taking of this
envelop and its contents. Gladly

FUTURE SUBWAY TERMS
nr. Orr Erpects City WiH Make
Favorable Contracts.

Alexander E. Orr president of the Rapid
Transit Commission. talked confidently yester-
day about the ability of the city to get good
terms for future subways. in view of the success
and popularity OF the present subway.
I'VE are not yet in a position to offer con-
tracts for more subways he said. but as soon
as we are ready, have doubt we shall be
able to award them on terms more favor
abba TO the city than those for the Brooklyn
extension
Mr.. Orr said he had no information as to
syndicates that might be formed TO compete
with the Beimont-Ryan combination for sub
way contracts, but he said it well estab-
lished that the subways had come to stay, and
that subway franchises were regarded by finan-
ciers as most attractive investments.
The Rapid Transit Commission cannot offer
contracts for the subways already planned by
fits engineers and approved by the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment until the courts
have moved to give the required consents which
have been withheld by the property owners
along the routes.
1t is believed that the delay of the courts in
appointing the commissioners to pass the
question of consents is because the question of
the constitutionality Of the law which trans
ferred from the Board of Aldermen to the Board
Of Estimate the right to grant franchises is still
before the courts. If the law should be declared
unconstitutional. all the work Of obtaining sub
stituted consents Of property owners would have
to be done over again.
It was ascertained yesterday that at least one
syndicate is ready to compete with the Belmont
Ryan combination in bidding for the proposed
subway in 3d-ave. This syndicate includes John
W. Gates. Harvey Fisk & Sons, Charles T.
Barney and Edwin Gould The syndicate has
made proposals to the Rapid Transit Comnis-
sion asking that the plans of the 3d-ave. sub
way be changed to permit the running
through it of railroad cars of the standard size.
Such change would make the subway larger
and more expensive to build.
The plans for the 3d-ave. subway are for
four track railway from The Bronx under the
Harlem River and under Sd-ave. to Chatham
under New Bowery, Pearl-st. and Front-st- to
the Battery and returning under Broad-st.,
Nassau-st. and Park Row to Chatham Square.
If the subway made large enough for
standard railway cars and the syndicate desir
ing the change could get the contract for it. the
trains Of the New York and Port Chester Rail-
road would be run through it from The Bronx
to the Battery.
It was learned yesterday from official sources
that the necessary papers to carry out the
merger OF the Interborough mad Metropolitan
traction interests will be completed by the law
yers early in January.
The board Of directors of the Metropolitan
Securities Company has made call OF S25
share upon Metropolitan Securities stock, in
order that $75 may be paid on the stock in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the plan for
the union of the Metropolitan -Interborough in
terests The call is payable at the Morton
Trust Company on or before January 30

GAMBLERS IN PANIC.
Fear District attorneys Interest
Portends EUH.

TenderIoin gamblers were in panic last
night as a result of District Attorney Jerome's
renewed interest in their profession"
That the District Attorneys plain talk or
gambling before Judge Rosalsky in the General
Sessions yesterday but a hint of trouble to
follow is the fear expressed in gambling cir
cles. The followers of the roulette wheel and
faro bank fear another Jerome crusade similar
to that of some months ago which paralyzed
gam bling for time and drove some of the best
known gamblers out Of business.
The Tribune some time ago called attention
to the fact announced by Mr.. Jerome in court
yesterday that gambling houses and poolrooms
honeycomb the Tenderoin and the new Ten
derloin.
Last night most of these houses were doing
business but greater care was observed in the
admission Of patrons, and this vigilance seems
likely to be maintained
1T looks to me as if there is going to be
nothing doing in this town. said a we'll known
gambler last night. IF Jerome means business.
there's every reason to believe he does, and
he has made up his mind to go after US tooth
and nail there is nothing for to do but to
pack UP and git. We had been making elab-
crate plans for the coming year, as we were led
to believe this was to be open town with
Jerome would be too busy with other things to
have time to watch gambling. If he is going to
make trouble / guess 1t means our finish for a
time"
The gamblers only hope lies in the fact that
the force at Mr.. Jerome's disposal Is so small
that without the cooperation of the police he
cannot keep up a crusade. He'll be able to
shut us up for time" said another gambler,
but he can't keep us shut up We've reason to
believe that We won't have much to fear from
the police and that the next police administra-
ton is going to be liberal If this is Jerome
can't accomplish anything lasting. He'll only
be able to throw a scare into now and
again"

Il TITLE FOR SALE.

for Cash.

Any person desiring italian patent of
nobility can have the title of Marquis Of Car
DOLL with the crest, coat of arms and all the
other paraphernaIa of rank incidental to the
title, for $4,000. This sum will buy only the
title, not the estate. This is the offer young,
dark-haired blue-eyed Italian made public last
night in his squalid quarters an upper floor
of No. 343 East 115th-st
He says he is the Marquis of Cardol, the
family name being Gulielmi Del Wit. The young
man says his family is six hundred years old,
and in its day prominent in Italian politics.
Though there are landed estates attached to the
title, the young marquis says he cannot i'm
prove them attend to them properly because
he is "penniless."
He wants to sell the title for $4,000, try to
marry a rich woman and settle down here as
a plain, everyday American. Mr.. Del Wit, as
he prefers to be called. received several report
ers last night in his narrow, Ill furnished room.

JOHN FORD ON TRANSIT MERGER.
VIII Do No Immediate Harm, He Says-Cal-
vim Tomkins Thinks It a Benefit.

The Belmont-Ryan merger was the subject Of
addresses by ex-senator John Ford and Calvin
Tomllns, president OF the Municipal Art Com
mission, at meeting of the Peoples Institute
last night. Both speakers agreed that the pub
lie would not suffer Immediately the result Of
the combination and that the ultimate remedy
is In municipal control of all city railroads.
Mr.. Ford said there reason for the
public TO get unduly excited over the state Of
affairs. For" he said. 'ft alters the present
situation very slightly. We have endured all
the Ills which the merger can possibly bring to
u.s. and. IN some ways the merging OF all the
lines into one will prove at least a temporary
benefit, because OF the added convenience and
greater economy"
MI Tonkins expressed the opinion that the
merger would be distinct advantage to the
people of the city. He said that the main OBJ
lection that the capitalization would be too

Street does not know where the money is COM
