utter imbeeility. That was how the

Possibly they were prejudiced by
the fact that Kitty IL she showed par.

grove. Dickson, being aspiring. tried
brayely to emulate Colgroye's plan,
but his voice was weak and unconvinc-
ing when he requested more music
after Kitty had toiled through the
Moonlight Sonata so she said she
was tired and refused him. She added
With touch Of severity that any one
who really loved music would realize
that the sonata took all the best IN one

Dickson retired 20 bookcase, where
he pretended TO be interested in the
titles on the leather and cloth backs.
All Kitty's admirers wondered why
she did it, The more hours day she
gave up to her practice the worse she
played. When a girl was as pretty
as she was man was sufficiently en-
tertained just by looking at her or lis
tening TO her talk. There was really
no reason for her going in so des-
perately for music.
One would think she had made

after an evening when he had not been

Even Kitty's family, in the privacy
OF their own councils, said with awe
that Colgrove certainly must be very
much In love with Kitty to endure the
racket
Colgroye said her talent was won
derful and boosted about 1t. When
ever new acquaintances came In he
would cough and say, won't You

When invitations were out to Col.

disappointed rivals tried to pretend
that they were sorry for him. One of
them, more reyengeful than the others,
had an inspiration The result was
that among the wedding presents
there shone resplttident a handsome
piano with a card vearing ten names

MoTse's bold front had gone. 10 Mar
shsl Henken's Office he broke down;
with his wife hanging to him and beg

hands helplessly, the ta's came to his
ewes. he could not restrain them. In
moment mere be was in tesrs All
the defiant spirit which tad sved the
millionsires of Wall street for years had
deserted him. The grief which be bad
restrained while his fortune crumbled
ard one disaster followed Another came
forth and be cried like child.
Marshal HeDkel himself was affected
by the scene. He closed the door and
stepped out, giving the prisoner fe"
more moments With his family. Later,
when they had composed themselves, he
took the convicted man away and led
him of to the Tombs through q mob that
pursued him up Psrk Row and Centre
street, yelling, "How'd you like to b.
the ice mani"
A newsboy crying an extra, Morse
convictedp saw The crowd and knew
what il meant. 'Morse convicted" ne
cried again, "There he is--thersl Sac

Hundreds wore hesrd that cry and
Joined The mob. Morse, with bis hands
in bis cost pocket and with no overcast
on, showed ahtai of HeDkel aud set an
awful pace, trying to hurry to the Tombs
to estape the humiliation.
Knowing that the mob would pursue
him, Morse had asked Henkel to call a
cab that they might ride to the TOmbs.
No." answered the arsbaI, ~ shall
treat you just like ell prisoners. take
poor counterfeiters through the streets, !"
Then, at the request, Henkel asked the
crowd of newspaper men and photograph

agreed, aud started out ahea OF the mar

TANNED the door, and Morse, trying to
pnsh himself through, was separated
from the marshal. he left HenkePs
men behind. They desperately jammed
the people aside, aud caught up with
their prisoner.
The chilling wind caught Morse In the
cheat, and as be bad no overcast, he but
toned his sack coat around his thea,
and putting head down and his hands In
bis pockets, drove through the crowd.
The marshsls, who were larger men, had
hard time TO keep up with him. BE
was going at terrific rate through the
crowd along City Hall Park. Men and
boys who could not keep up at walk
broke into run, and dashed up ahead
to stop aud take look at the face of the
millionaire prisoner. He never raised
his eyes, but kept along, just as II no
one was looking at him. The crowd,
which had grown with every step, follow
ed all the way to the Tombs, and the
6naucier rushed through the door like q
hunted wolf The humiliation of that
walk bad been one OF the most disagree'
able things be had encountered during
ell his troubles.
