A rainy November day in New YORK,
the trees of the parks and squares
shrouded in mist and dripping with
moisture, the pavements shining Win
wet and the cutters running full.
Altogether a thoroughly wretched
day, and very proper morning for ~
ing late abed with ones pipe and the
Sunday paper. So thought Wilfrid
Stennis, thanking the gods for the
one blessed day in seven made for
tired men, when it was not necessary
to turn out and hurry downtown
1t was characteristic of the desultory
and fragmentary reading habits OF the
young man that he regularly consumed
--assimilated would be too strong a
word--the hybrid contents OF the aV-
erage Sunday sheet: News, Scandals
fashionable and sporting intelligence
foreign affairs, and editorials. ne
Iigiously would he wade through every
numbered section, from the Lost-ana-

personal and Yate ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Mr.. Roger Hews. In his report to
Mr.. Carboy he had deliberately sup
pressed some facts and had cheerfully
lied about others. That he had thus
proved false to the trust reposed in
him t.oubled his exceedingly rubber
like conscience not whit. He was
about to play the game OF his life. II
was a daring scheme, and might not
"pan out worth a cent" as he admitted
to himself, but 1t was worth trying.
Somewhat to the surprise OF Mr..
Carboy, when he next desired the
services of Roger Hews he was IN
formed that the gentleman had gone

These statements were perfectly true

And the child-what of the childT
There was no record of either its
birth or DEATH"
This was deliberate lie!
That's awkward" exclaimed Mr..
Carboy. "Meleen distinctly stated
that there was child How do you
account for the discrepancy?
Very simply. If the mother died
in travail and the child with her. as
| inferred from your instructions,
there might naturally have been no
record of the infants entrance into
or departure from the world In all
likelihood the baby would not even
be named"
That's not altogether improbable"
assented the lawyer, scratching hts
nose. But the point is vital one.

strong aroma of cut Cavendish, for he
had been smoking his pipe with some
cronies on the front porch" as they
still call the house entrance up Green
witch way, the light of Wilfrid's rosy
visions had not yet died out OF his
eyes. There was even an atmosphere
of suppressed excitement in the home
ly room which caused the old man to
look shrewdly at Eunice. II there
were anything amiss between the
lovers Trevecca knew he would find it
In the girls face. But apparently all
was serene.
"Wilf has been telling me what he
intends to do with all his money
when he gets to be very rich.' she
said smilingly.
That's easy spending" said Ire
vecca, sinking heavily into chair.
There's more money got rid of that
way in year than'd pave N York wi
dollars! But let's hear abart it, lad"
he added
ooh, it was just foolish talk" said
Wilfrid, on whose late enthusiasm
the blunt words of his prospective ia
ther-in-law were like a bucket of cold
water on bonfire.
Nevertheless, as he walked home to
his lodgings on Washington square
the exaltation of the earlier evening
still chung to him, and as he swung
along in the clear, crisp autumn night
his step was jaunty, his head held
high, and he was potentially as rich
as he was actually poor.
TO such a man as Wilfrid Steanis,
uneducated as the college world
counts learning, but eager, receptive,
possessing an eye for beauty and for
color, with a love for music, an UNI
formed, omnivorous appetite for
books, and an instructive shrinking
from the sordid and the mean, the
bonds of even respectable poverty are
apt to prove especially CALLING. Like
Bella Wilfer, he realized to the full
what it meant to be "beastly poor, mis-
erably poor"
What wonder, then, that his long
ings, his aspirations, his day dreams
were centered about that wealth he
so often saw others abusing, or mis-
using, or keeping naplcin-tied? Not
for the miser's greed Of possession
but for the qualification of the best
that was in him, did he long for money
heaps and heaps of it,
Overnight day dreams, fortunately
come cheap. and they leave no dark
brown taste in the mouth. The next
morning, when Wilfrid Stennis went
downtown to the Front street store
he was again the prosaic and method
ical young entry clerk. No one would
have suspected him of secret yearn
ings for fast horses, faster yacht
and a little futter around the tables

prince of Monaco.

on, lying glibly, (which is not sur
prising if, as you led me to infer, he
was then only a common mineworker,
and it, as seems to be undisputed, he
never revisited the place"
True enough" Carboy admitted. He
had perfect confidence in Roger Hews,
who ON more than one occasion had
served the firm faithfully.
"Well, the way seems to be clear
for us to advertise for the missing
nephew or other next OF kin. Martha
Meleen, in all human probability, has
preceded her brother across the Great
Divide"

step, sir" rejoined Roger Hews in
level tones, as though the fact that
twenty or thirty million dollars were
at stake possessed for him no interest
at all.

MCfNfRNfY ACT IS
ARGUFDBY AUTHOR
Opposes Jury Trial in Louis j
O'Farrelrs Suit Against
Archbishop

Lawyers and others in Judge Mogan's
court yesterday listened to a discus
sion of the McEnerney quiet title act
by it's author, Garret McEnerney. AS
counsel for the Roman Catholic arch
bishop of San Francisco, a corporation,
McEnerney was demanding a speedy
trial of the suit to quiet title to the
los pieces of realty in San Francisco
standing in the name of the archbishop.
Louis j. O'Farrell, nephew of Theresa
Wensinger, is contesting as to one of
the parcels, that at Mission and Ninth
streets, and his attorney, Andrew
Thorne, demanded a jury trial.
McEnerney cited much law in support
of his contention that a jury trial can
not be allowed by the court in a Nc
Enerney case, because it is an action in
equity and not at law. Particularly
in this case, the lawyer argued, should
the court deny the application for the
impeachment of jury, for the reason
that the further equitable question was
raised by the allegation OF undue in
huence on the part of the archbishop.
McEnerney opposed Thorne's appli-
cation to amend his answer by insert
ing paragraph claiming that O'Farrell
is entitled to the land, asserting that
this was merely a subterfuge to sup
port the demand for a jury. Thorne
will reply to these arguments today.
