CHAPTER VI,

CHAPTER VI,
The flight of time brought no allevia-
ton to the troubles of Aureataland. If
an individual hardup is a pathetic sight,
a nation hard-up is an alarming specta-
Gle; and Aureataland was very hard-up.
l suppose somebody had some money. But
the government had none: in consequence
the government employees had none, the
officials had none, the President had none,
and finally, l had none. The bank had
little-of other peoples, of course-but
l was quite prepared for run" on us
any day, and had cabled to the directors
to implore a remittance in cash. for our
notes were at discount humiiiating to
contemplate. Political strife ran high.
I dropped into the House of Assembly
one afternoon toward the end of May,
and, looking down from the gallery, saw
the Colonel in the full tide of wrathful
defamation. He was demanding of the
miserable Don Antonio when the army
was to be paid. The latter sat covering
under his scorn, and would, l verify be-
lieve, have bolted out of the House had he
not been nailed to his seat by the cold
eve Of the President, who was looking on
from his box. The minister on rising
had nothing to urge but vague promises
Of speedy payment; but he utterly lacked
the confident effrontery of his chief, and
nobody was deceived by his weak protes-
tations.
left the House In a considerable up
roar, and strolled ON to the house of a
friend of mine, one Madame Devarges,
the widow Of French gentleman, who
had found his way to Nottingham from
New Caledonia. Politeness demanded the
assumption that he had found his way
to New Caledonia owing to political trou-
bles, but the usual cloud hung over the
precise date and circumstances of his pat
riotic sacrifice. Madame sometimes con-
sidered 1t necessary to bore herself and
others with denunciations Of the various
tyrants or would-be tyrants of France
but, apart from this pious offering on
the shrine Of her husbands reputation,
she was bright and pleasant little wom-
an. l found assembled round her tea
table merry party, including Donna An
tonia, unmindful Of her fathers agonies,
and one Johnny Carr, who deserves men
ton as being the only honest man in Au-
reataland. l speak, Of course, Of the place
as found it. He was a young English
man, what they call cadet" of good
family, shipped off with couple of thou
sand pounds to make his fortune. Land
was cheap among us, and Johnny had
bought an estate and settled down as a
land owner. Recently he had blossomed
forth as a keen Constitutionalist and a
devoted admirer Of the Presidents, and
held a seat in the Assembly in that inter-
est Johnny was not a clever man nor
wise one, but he was merry, and, as |
have thought it necessary to mention,
honest,

The Yankee in England had been
talking ever since entering the train
two stops back about the speed with
which buildings were erected In his
home across the water. Finally to car
the climax he told of a 22-story build
ing which was started and finished In
one month.
His fellow passengers had given W
all hope that he would ever stop, wher
a diminutive Yorkshire man turned t.

THE WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN.

Mrs. Sage Is now 76 years old, and
although she Is still a very active wo-
man, and for the last three years has
practically directed her husbands a.
nancial affairs, 1t is not to be expected
that she will attempt to increase the
immense fortune he left her. The I'M
preston given by the will of Russell
Sage is that he devised everything to
his widow so that she might distribute
1t in philanthropic channels. Russell
Sage knew nothing of generous giving
There might be some such thing as
charity, but 1t was nothing to him
He had to work and scheme and save
to make his money. If anybody wanted
riches he could do likewise. He was
not going to give away what he had

earned, and he made 1t a rule to get
value for every cent expended.
She has investigated many institu-
tions, but Is said to have no favorite
charity. She has many appeals made
to her for money, and listens to them
all. Many of the projects of Miss
Helen Gould, to whom Mrs. Sage is
said to be a second mother, have re-
ceiyed generous support from her large
store
Mrs. Sage has held aloof from high
society. She Is kindly woman with
an aversion to show and notoriety, and
has found her enjoyment in her home
and In personally contributing to the
support and comfort of unfortunates.

CHAPTER v.

Time passed on, all leading an appar-
emily merry and untroubled life. In pub
lie affairs the temper was very different.
The scarcity of money was intense, and
serious murmuring had arisen when the
President "squandered" his ready money
In paying interest, leaving his civil ser
wants and soldiers unpaid. This was the
topic Of much discussion in the press at
the time when l went up one March
evening to the Signorina's. had been
detained at the bank, and found the gaiety
In full swing when came In. The Sig
norma sat by herself on low lounge by

and made my bow.
"You spare Us but little Of your time,
Mr.. Martin" she said.
