ly looking up, she saw, in mirror,
the reflection of huge, ruftianly
looking man, cruching behind a screen
which stood at the back of her chair.
For a moment fear petrified her, as
she thought that this man, knowing
she was alone, had crept into the
house and was awaiting an opportun-
ity to murder her and strip the house
of valuables. Outside the street was
as quiet as the grave. Her husband
would not be back for hours. To rush
from the room and cry madly for help
meant fastening death.
Then a thought struck her. There
was a telephone in the room. She
went to il and quickly rang up fam

anything, the doctors wife began
again-this time i'm French:

burden of the rich.
Bodyouards Of the Rich.
1t is no exaggeration TO say that
scores of millionaires in New York, in
order to gain privacy in their homes,
are guarded quite as closely as any
king. II is literally true that the
president of the United States is much
more easy to approach by any ordi-
nary citizen than many owners OF
great fortunes. IL is not generally
known for instance, that whereas any
one might call up the president by
telephone, or at least the White
House, it is impossible to do the same
with many New York millionaires.
The names of the possessors OF great
fortunes do not appear in the tele-
phone directories. These men are not
without telephone communication with
the outside world. but they choose to
have private wires laid to their
houses, in order TO avoid the annoy
ance OF being continually rung up. In
other words, these houses are far
more isolated than the average pri-
vate residence. and the Inconvenience
they must endure Is OF course obvious.
The Yale expositor., 1907-05-31

Of course, unusual, but, on the other
hand, the fear of KIDNAPPING hangs
very heavily over the families of the
rich. AS result the children OF fam
lilies of great fortune have, as a mat
ter of fact, less liberty than children
of families in much poorer circum-
stances. The little heirs to great for
tunes cannot play in the parks or even
walk in the streets without a guard Of
some sort They must be constantly
watched. Even in the country this
surveillance is continued. At scores
Of great estates throughout the coun-
try the gates are closed to the public
on the ground that the children who
are playing about would be endan-
gered.
The fear Of blackmail, again, is
much more general than is generally
supposed. The mail of practically all
men OF great wealth constantly brings
them threats of every possible kind.
The person who attempts blackmail
may have no discriminating knowledge
whatever In most cases he probably
has not. but the menace is none the
less disconcerting. A considerable
part of the public is always ready to
believe the worst of men in high
places, and a clever blackmailer may
do incalculable harm.
Our great modern fortunes, again,
are often amassed with amazing rap
idity. IL has never before in history
been possible to accumulate such
wealth in so short period. IL is for
gotten that there is another side to
this situation, and that the danger OF
losing such fortunes is corresponding
ly great. The financiers, while they
make enormous gains, must also face
frightful losses. Scores of men might
be mentioned who have risen to great
wealth in a few years, only to fall
again and be forgotten. The expert
ence of James X. Keene. for instance,
who has several times been worth mil
lions and at other times been millions
in debt, has many counterparts on a
smaller scale The struggle for wealth
is so frantic and the element OF chance
so great in the manipulation OF great
sums of money that 1t is perhaps more
difiicuIt to retair money than to ac-
Qujrs It.

Even the pleasure OF distributing
charities becomes a very complex and
irksome affair when the sum TO be
distributed reaches enormous proper
tions. During ones lifetime. at least,
IL would seem that IL would be an easy
matter to dispose of money. AS a
matter of fact, many men and women
of great wealth are Obliged to place
their benefactions upon a regular
business basis in order not to be
robbed. Several men of great wealth,
notably Mr.. Rockefeller. are compelled
to employ men at large salaries, who
are in turn assisted by STATS of clerks,
to examine into the demands made
upon them and after investigation de.

NOT ALL FUN TO BE WEALTHY
Men of Millions Condemned Isolation Life, Pursued
by Selfish Greed, While After Death There Are Spu-
rious Widows, viii Contests and Half a Hun
bred Other Kindred Ills.

New York.-The embarrassment Of
riches is, OF course. proverbial. To-
day the burden of wealth is. probably
greater for the possessors of great for
tunes than ever before. A multi-mil-
lionaire is a marked man. He is de-
MED privacy even in the most intimate
family relations, and he is constantly
beset by armies of beggars and must
be guarded like any king. At his
death hordes of claimants fight over
his property, his memory is bitterly
attacked and his character perhaps
blasted by INSCRIPTIONS heirs through
long years of litigation.
A short time ago Mr.. James Henry
Smith, universally known as silent
Smith" a man of great wealth and the
dispenser of wide private benefactions,
suddenly died. He had lived a life of
singular seclusion. A man of very SIM
pie tastes and habits, he had always
stunned notoriety in every form.
Any ordinary man OF his character
might have enjoyed a secluded life,
but for Mr.. Smith it was a constant eff
way. On his death it was announced
that he had left a fortune of more
than s50,O00.0OO. The embarrassment
OF riches has literally followed him
into his grave. Instantly a crowd of
relatives and claimants, many of whom
he had never known, appeared on the
scene.
His widow is obliged to retain the
best counsel and instantly prepare for
long and presumably bitter conflict
In order that his dying wishes as ex-
pressed in his will may be carried out.
In this undignified scramble for his
millions every detail of his life will be
gone into. and this by expert lawyers
and in no friendly spirit. Mr.. Smith
private benefactions were many and
varied and his character will stand the
test, but it is situation which would

ago II was common for the grounds OF
great estates to be opened at certain
hours at least to the public, but to-day
such privileges are rarely granted In
almost every case such places are
completely walled in and the various
entrances are closely guarded No
matter how far from the mansion may
be the lodge. no one is permitted to
enter until he has been announced by
telephone and permission has been
granted. Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller, for
instance. is as closely guarded in his
estate at Tarrytown or in Cleveland
as is royalty. Even person stopping
before one of these entrances Is close
ly watched. The estate of Mr.. George
Gould. at Lakewood, is guarded in the
same way, while others might be
cited.
A famous murder recently has d.
rected attention TO the very general
use which is made of private detec'
tives by people of great wealth. The
fact comes as a surprise to many. SO
quiet a figure and so much beloved a
character as Miss Helen Gould. for in
stance, frequently employs private de-
tectives as a safeguard against rob
berry, Many well-known millionaires
go about accompanied by gentleman
Unlocking detective who acts as a
bodyguard. In many cases these men
are not employed so much TO guard
against robbery as to protect them in
case they should be threatened with
actual bodily harm. Should the mail
of some wealthy man contain some
threatening letter it is not uncommon
for detective to be called in and en-
gagged for few days, perhaps for a
long period, either to run down the
writer OF the letter or to personally
accompany the wealthy man to and
from his Office.
Detectives Always on Hand.
Even in their most private social
functions it is common for people Of

for him to persuade her to elope with
him.
Without saying a word to the men,
bers of her own family or anybody
else of what she intended to do Miss
Claussen packed her wedding gown
and other clothing in a trunk and pre-
pared to run away with Bachelor.
That night Bachelor called at her
home and she told her family she was
going with him to the home of a
neighbor to make call.
She did not return and her parents
became uneasy. A messenger was
sent to the home of the neighbor. He
returned and reported that she had
not been there.
Then her mother went to her room
and found note written by Miss
Claussen, in which she said she was
going to run away with Bachelor,
the man she had loved and promised
to marry when she was young and the
man she still loved better than any
other in all the WORLD
Bachelor said he ran away from
his parents home ~ years ago be-
cause he was restless and wanted to
go out and see the world and that
he had not written to his folks be-
cause he had met with reverses and
thought it we'll to let them think he
was dead.

such homes. There is an army how
ever, of men and women representing
a state OF genteel poverty. besides the
cranks, who would make some absurd
appeal The door bells of many of
these elaborate establishments ring
continually throughout the day and
night. The methods employed of dis
posing of such callers varies. Mr..
Carnegie, for instance, denies himself
to all strangers. but his butler uses
his judgment as TO whether a card
should be taken to secretary. The
method of handling chance callers Is
ingenious. The outer door opens into
a shallow outer vestibule. Should the
individual in the brass buttons so de-
eide the caller is ushered through a
door at the side and up a short stair
case to private apartment, where he
is received by secretary. In this
way the visitor does not reach the
main vestibule, and in no way inter
feres with the privacy of the house.

While they can ring up anyone, they
themselves cannot be called on the
telephone except by the chosen few
who have their private numbers, 80
that the seclusion works both ways.
In the maCter of personal mail,
again, the possession Of wealth and
the notoriety it inevitably brings is a
source of great Inconvenience. The
mail of a multi-millionaire'is likely to
be so heavy that .Acretary, perhaps
considerable staff of them, must be
employed to care for it. This mail
is of course, for the most part unso-
licited. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, for in
stance, receives on an average from
400 to 500 letters a day making direct
appeals for charity. HIS own personal
mail which is naturally large, is not
included in this number.
Volume of Mail Varies.
The volume of Mr.. Carnegie's mail
varies curiously from season to sea-
son, but ii is always enormous. At a
time when his name is frequently be-
fore the public the number of requests
for charity rises quickly to its maxi
num- while should his name not APP
pear in the newspapers for some time
the volume of such letters decreases.
but rarely below the 400 day mark.
The frequent appearance of Mr.. Car
negie's name in connection with the
recent peace conference served to
raise the number of letters to it's max
imum, or about 500 day. The amount
of actual hard work which such a cor
respondence entails is of course very
great.
The number OF personal applicd-
tions which man of great wealth is
favored with is also a surprise. Like
the letters, they represent all classes
of society, of want and restitution.
The proportion of regular beggars is
comparatively small. This class of
applicants is likely to be awed by the
general appearance and atmosphere OF
