see those roses? Some red and some pink.
Do you notice their color! Did you ever see such
bright color in the moonlight"
Never" said GriscOm. He stepped to the wall
and plucked one of the cream coored flowers, which
he offered to the girl. Here is charm against the

They were surrounded on all sides by the magnifi-
cent ruins on the plateau of the Palatine Hill. A
glimpse at the Roman Forum, bathed in the full rad
ance of the summer moon, had shown them in some
measure what they might expect whereof the reality
held them still and breathess. Directly overhead in
sky of the sotest depth of color the full moon blazed
with a rich mellow intensity almost passionate in
its vibrating warmth. Not breath of wind was
stirring: yet the night sweetly fresh and the air
decately perfumed with the faint odor of roses
blooming against the grim walls of the House of Ii
berius Ali about them reared the tremendous ruins,
huge and somber at all times; but at night, seen
thus in the moonlight, unreal and Titanesque.
Creamy high lights bathed their tumbled outlines
and spashed into the vast unroofed Enclosures to
CLEAN eerily through vaulted corridors The darker
recesses and the mouths of huge chambers and high
narrow passages still intact of blackness i'm
penetrable.
Griscom looked about him with rapidly beating
heart He had expected to find the place imposing,
grandly picturesque; but his imagination had
proved inadequate to conceive of its overpowerlng
majesty He turned to look questoningy into the
face of his companion. Like himself, she was stand
ing silently receptive, and in the stiffness that en-
compassed them he could hear each deeply ndrawn
breath.

and-terrble! If it not for the perfume of the
flowers l should be afraid to stay.

No doubt he is used to it.

MILLIONS IN THE POLICE GRAFT
Bingham Makes Slasling Attack on
the New York Force.

HamptOn's Magazine.
1 am asked to estimate the money
value Of graft and blackmail in New
York each year. No one can make
such an estimate with accuracy, but
my belief is that the total is not less
than $100,000,Oo0. During my first
year at the head of the police depart
ment 1t would have been an easy
matter for me to have made 100000
in bribe money and $1,000 900 would
not have been an excessive figure at
all.
The power of Tammany Hall rests.
and has rested for 40 years, upon it's
ability to control the police by fair
means or foul. A strong. honest, fear
less police commissioner, supported
by police magistrates of ability and
integrity. and mayor big enough to
conduct his office without fear or ia
vor, can sap and utterly destroy
Tammany influence in ten years or
even less, provided he is empowered
TO dismiss and transfer his subordi-
mates for cause, without recourse to
the courts.
do not believe I am unfair in esti-
mating that from 1900 to 1000
members of the force are unscru-
pulous grafters, whose hands are al
ways out for easy money.
That this is known by the head Of
the department and apparently ignor-
ed Is because the commissioner is
only nominal head of the force. while
policeman has office for life. Dis
cipline and the question of vested in
terests should be kept separate. Graft
is hidden in most city ordinances.

A Million Ancestors.

1 asked a friend a short time back
how many ancestors he had in the
direct line twenty generations back.
After a minutes reflection he sug-
gested fifty. 1t may be a little sur
prising and of interest to some of-our
readers to learn that they each have
had more than a million ancestors
within comparatively recent years,
and that without taking into account
uncles and aunts. Starting with ones
parents, each person usually has two,
father and a mother. The father
had his two parents and the mother
had hers. Thus each person has four
grandparents. One step farther and
we have eight great-grandparents. I
know case within living memory
where a man had four great-grand-
parents all living. A simple calcula-
ton gives the astonishing result that
our lineal ancestors during twenty
generations number no fewer than
1,O4S,576, or sufficient people if all
living to populate the whole OF
