Big Loan Without Security

upon several thousand acres OF land
which he owned in the vicinity OF
Peterboro, N. Y. his home.
Nov, usually MI. Aston would have
required a search of title to be made
SO that it could be known whether or
not the borrower had good title to the
real estate which he offered as secur1-
ty. In addition, Mr.. Aston would have
insisted on a good many other legal
formalities; it was unprecedented for
him to make a loan and deliver over
the money until he had the security
in hand. But he simply said to ME:
Smith that he would lend him the
money and that Mr.. Smith upon his
return to Peterboro could have mort
recorded and sent to Mr.. Astor. A lit
tie while later Gerrit Smith started
home with the three hundred thou
sand dollars and Mr.. Astor had no
other security for it that Gerr1t

Smith and realized that his word was
as good as his bond.
A soon as possible after Smltn re-
turned to his home he had the
mortgages made out and executed and
instructed a clerk to send them to
Mr.. Astor. But through some acct
dent the mortgages were not sent to
Mr.. Astor. They were overlooked
and then Mgotten. Nor did Mr.. Aston
ever remind Mr.. Smith by letter that
he had not fulfilled his promise to
execute and deliver mortgage bonds

Nearly a year passed and Mr..
Smith was again in New York when,
meeting Mr.. Aston, he spoke of the
loan. saying that he hoped to repay it

One of the great American publish
ers of yesterday was James T.. Fields
(1817-S1) Of Boston. AS one account
of his life has it: His charming per-
sonal qualities, his sympathy, his lib
crafty to all with whom he dealt, n
his unquestioned literary judgment
drew to him most of the best known
American authors of the time, and ne
became the publisher Of Longfellow,
tier and Lowell, besides introducing
Tennyson and Browning to American
readers even before their true worth
was recognized in England" Mr..
Fielis edited the Atlantic Monthly for
eight years, beginning in 1862, and
the last ten years of his life he spent
in authorship and lecturing.
In the course OF a conversation l
had with this distinguished publisher
on the day of his return from Europe
in 1879-his last trip across the At
lantic-I asked him If it were true,
as l had heard, that he had rescued
the manuscript of Hawthorne's Scar
let Letter. from what seemed to be a
permanent burial place.
YES" he said, land 1 have alluded

at Salem; he was then an officer in

then instantly went back to New York
with the mortgages in his pocket and
delivered them personally to John ia
