l sat opposite Mr.. Smith" at a large table,
while he opened and glanced over pile of letters.
Been over to Philadelphia on business and SO got
behind with my mail" explained he. The whole
thing was really artistically arranged
How about that investment" said my host
when he had finished his letter-reading. How
much money you put up for margin?"
Oh, about five thousand" !" l replied carelessly.
He to the ticker and running the tape through
his fingers pretended to read its cabalistc signs.
"Ah, thought so" Just as I expected" By
George! it's thing!" Good for ten points at
least" he repeated if to himself.
l had got into the habit of carrying a revolver
while in Mexico and had it with me in my hip
pocket. l slipped it around into the right-hand
pocket of my sack coat while he bent the
tape. The time to end the comedy approach

w. Sylvester should happen to be without a sense
of humor.
Now, " said he about the money for margins

and that he should have his den there rather sur
prised me at first till remembered that had read
in the papers of pool-room being discovered on
top of one of Wall Streets most immaculate office
buildings.
On the door of the office was "W Sylvester
Smith, Stocks and Bonds" The Office consisted of
an outer room in which two clerks were at work
over 1edgers and papers and an inner room marked
private" both fitted up in good imitation of
the place of business of financier who was /" III

was conscious OF appearing not altogether at my
best. The most l could do to say Smith" as
if l had expected his to be Mortimer or
Cholmondeey something OF that sort.
Yes" cried the uncle, Smith-Svvester Smith,
otherwise w. Sylvester Smith, William S. Smith"
The whole thing flashed over me in second.
1 remembered to have heard of uncle of Hers
commonly called Bill Smith in Clayville, who
had left the village when l baby and was
now something in the plutocratc line in New-York
/ believe this young man and have met before, +"
said the angry uncle, and that we have some
accounts to settle between us.
Surely, you're joking, uncle?" She said in the
belief that his anger assumed. But where
did you meet? You both have been everywhere :"
Before the older could reply, / had assumed
a confident manner, which l was far from feeling
and broke in with: At his office in Wall Street
this morning And by the way, Mr.. Smith, l have
decided to take that stock you speaking of ="
The look on the uncle's face gradually changed
into one of amusement. He actually grinned Then
he broke silence with emphatic You'll do, young
man! Have check for those margins at my office
tomorrow morning before the market opens"
The warmth with which he grasped my hand
assured me that all forgiven And little later
at dinner | broached a subject at which am glad
to say She did not seem displeased.

and not on real New-Yorker who may be on.
Good-day!" And l took step toward the door.
The look of blank astonishment that overspread
the mans face was 50 1udicrous that it made
me laugh; but in instant his look changed to
one of rage. He fairly foaned at the mouth and
doubled up his pudgy fists as if to attack me.
'You-you!- Do you mean to nsinuate-" he
managed to shrek. One of the clerks opened the
door leading to the outer office and looked in.

relief when l finally reached the street and
became lost in the crowd. Later in my own
apartment, when | thought the matter over
| was glad the adventure had ended without
mishap. At the time | had had no fear, but
now it occurred to me that | had taken some
risk in going alone to beard such desperate
characters.
Speculation as to what might have hap
pened was put to an end, however, when my
servant brought me a letter. 1t was from Her,
and asked if l would put Her ever1astingly
in my debt by filling a vacancy at dinner that
evening. She had lust heard of my return
to town and was looking forward to seeing
me again. 1t did not take long to reply
One of my reasons for returning to New-Yorll
was to renew my acquaintance with Her, and
now not only to be asked to dine but to put
Her in my debt by doing SO, was almost more
than l had hoped for.
My toilet consumed more time than usual
that evening, and | was few minutes later
in reaching Her home as the result l feared
that | was the last guest, until She assured
me that one other man was still to come.
For this l thanked Providence and blessed
the other man for his tardiness
The one to come" She said, is my
uncle, and | am most anxious to have YOU
meet him"
Then we talked of the days before Mexico,
and She seemed more charming than ever
We were in the middle of a most ENJOYABLE
t6te-a-tete when there was a step at the
drawing door and the butler announced
the belated guest, Her uncle.
1t was Mr.. Smith, my bunSo friend from
Clayville She presented him to the other
guests and then to me. For full minute we
stared at each other in great and mutual
astonishment, the expression on the others

IT'S NOT PROBABLE

1T is not probable that the Bryan
influence which the demoor attic congress
ional committee will enoeavor to bring lt
bear on the election of congress men this
fall will be as effective as that commit e.
expects Mr. Bryan does not represent
single factor not now at issue, betweei
the democratic and republican parties
except that he is more radical as a free
trader than the average democrat art
that he continues TO insist that the free
coinage of silver would provide better
and more permanent form of prosperity
than than the present gold standard. The
introduction again Of that absurd arc
dangerous doctrine into American politics
constitute a danger to the interests Of
every American workingman and farmer
and . ..,ess man, far greater than earth
quakes or fires or bad crsps could produce,
And the doctrine will not be absent wi en-
ever the influence of Bryan is present
The election of Republican congressman
this fall, however, will give the people
more time and opportunity to think ovel
the results of Mr.. organs doctrines ano
their probable effect. And the more they
do the better it will be for the interests Of
