and Randolph had gone to college to-
gether and entered the employ OF Ran

days. Brownley Is Virginian by
birth. Beulah Sends, daughter OF an
old Virginia house, calls on Brownley
and tells him her father has been
practically ruined by the stock oper-
ations of Reinhart. She hopes to util-
ize her own money in Wall street In
retrieving her fathers fortunes before
his condition becomes known, and
asks for employment in the office that
she may have an opportunity to better
understand how her money is invest
ed. She does not want 1t used In a
purely Wall street gamble, but In the
buying and selling of legitimate Sc
curities. Brownley agrees to help her,
and falls in love with her.
Chapter iI-Brownley plunges In
sugar stock. He uses the money or

had not closed.

broker for Standard Oil and sugar in

two at the Office when Bob attempts
to tell her the terrible truth Of their
fall. Brownley takes a trip to Vir-
ginia-

SHORT JAPANESE PLAYS.
Time Means Something Different te
Japanese Than to Americans.

Time Means Something Different to
Japanese Than to Americans.
In a Japanese theatre one sits on
the floor. in small apartments desig-
mated by strips Of wood about three
inches in height, and comfortably sips
tea and eats cakes and candy through
out the performance, or as much OF 1t
as he finds 1t convenient to attend,
says the Housekeeper. Japanese plays
usually last at least one day, beginning
in the morning, resuming after a re-
cess for lunch, and again after anoth-
er for dinner in the evening. One may
buy his ticket for the whole or part
of the play. as desired.
The arrangement Of balconies was
not unlike our own, and the only
marked difference in arrangement was
that in the Japanese theatre every one
sits on the floor The orchestra, con-
sisting Of two men playing on the
samisen, had its place on one side or
the stage, on a semi circular platform.
My surprise was great on suddenly
seeing this same platform whirl
around with the performers and the
other side appear with fresh relay OF
musicians. But the play was the
thing. 1t was bloody story OF old
samurai times, played entirely by men,
and was intensely interesting as por-
traying the ideals of an ancient civili-
zation. The piercing style Of decla-
nation was incomprehensible to me.
owing to my ignorance of Japanese
dramatic art; but even I, with my lack
of understanding. experienced a genu-
Inc terror at the realism Of the act
ing, as a samuria prepared to commit
hara kari.
Imagine, then, my surprise at the
moment Of the CHASTITY sword thrust
when the entire audience burst into
laughter. My Japanese friend after
ward explained to me that the laughter
was the very proof Of their deep emo
ton. for it would be considered a
shame to weep, and that at the thea
tire a japanese audience always con-
ceals by laughter its desire for tears.
AS several hours had elapsed since
my entrance, and as the scenery had
been changed several times, thought
this the climax Of the play and pre-
pared to go: but 1 was told this was
merely the finale to the first act La
ter, as the hour grew into eight In the
evening, and l had counted my sixth
hour of maintaining my very uncom-
Portable position on the floor, and had
been narrowed by a succession OF kara
karis, l asked hopefully If the pres
ent were the last act. 1t was not,
however. This particular short play
was to be finished at about IL though
there would be an intermission, when
dinner would be brought to the audi
ence.

pRAcTIcEp BY SMALL sHARPERs
Inoenious Ways Of Getting Money
Without Working For II.


IF is really astonishing what a large
number Of people there are who VIII
take infinite pains to avoid work. AND
the queer part of 1t, says the London
Globe. is that they really give them
selves much trouble in their attempts
TO obtain a living without laboring at
any fixed task.
Not long ago q novel trick was
practiced by man going about the
streets Of London but 1t seems impos-
sible to think that he made much out
of 1t, unless there is an abnormal
number Of exceedingly foolish people
in existence. Passing a man casually
he would glance at his back and say
beg yer pardon, sir, but there's a
LOT of white stuff on your shoulders"
Those who were particular about tneir
personal appearance. would thank the
man and ask him to wipe it on, ac-
companying the request with a UP.
OF course. It is unnecessary to say
that there never was anything white
ON the back Of the man addressed, ana
that 1t was solely for the purpose OF
getting the tip that the kind working
man took an interest In the strangers
toilet.
A much more lucrative trick was
reported by London daily some time
ago. According to this statement
well-dressed gentleman sauntered
about the streets Of Sydney, N. s. W.,
stopping a passer-by every now ana
then in order to ask him for "flr' OF
tobacco, as he had left his pouch al
home. Not many smokers would re-
fuse such a request when made by
respectable stranger, and would pid
him fill his pipe and be welcome. AS
soon as the generous stranger was
out Of sight the borrower would trans-
fer the tobacco from the pipe 10
capacious pouch he carried. Wnen ne
had collected pound or TWO ne "ouiu
sell It to a tobacconist.
Another dodge worked on likely
looking gentlemen is that we'll worn
device which might be termed the
trick pipe fake. AS the victim hurries
along a crowded street he notices
man who is smoking a big meerschaum
nine. That Is to say, he would notice
him IL he were looking, but as ne is In
a hurry the chances are that he does
not, and ne is therefore surprised when
he collides with the man, who lets the
nine fall to the ground, which breaks
in several pieces. OF course, the own
er of the valuable" pipe. raises a great
lamentation over his loss, and calls on
Heaven to witness the clumsiness or
| the victim. The former says 1t Is all
the fault Of the latter, and loudly de-
mands compensation while tenderly
picking up the pieces. He accepts the
proffered monetary solatium with the
the remark that the pipe was worth
far more, and then goes up side
street to fix the "meerschaum" ready
for some one else. This trick used to
bring quite a decent amount, but 1t has
become so well known that 1t Is sell
dom tried nowadays.

Beulah wrote her father a long letter.
telling him what she had done; that
she had made almost two millions
profit from her operations; that they
had been lost. and that the outlook
was not reassuring. She begged him
to prepare himself for the final calam-
ity; promising that if there were no
change for the better by December l,
she would come home to be with him
when the blow fell. She begged him
to prepare to meet it like Sands,

worst she would earn enough to keep
poverty away. Judge Sands would re-
