Antiquity of Slavery.

Slavery is pretty nearly as old as the
race. 1t began SO far back that the
memory Of man, assisted by the still
greater memory Of history, can recall
no time when il did not exist. 1t would
be difficult to say who were the first
slaves. In all the nations around the
Mediterranean, where civilization is
supposed to have started, the institu-
ton began early to flourish and held
on right down through feudalism to
modern times.

Gormiy himself was a young looking
man for forty-four He was still as
tall and slender, not to say spare, as
he had been when a boy. He was
smooth shaven, and the flecks of gray

thought Of his age, she would have
supposed him ten years younger than
he was; that is, on appearance. When
she thought of his business, she would
have considered him sixty Ever since
she could remember, she had dealt
at the great shop, and Gormly himself
unconsciously took on to her the as

So the little affair ran on; Gormly
consciously becoming more and more
deeply involved, Miss Haldane uncon-
sciously Interviewing herself in the
same tangled web.

was quite evident that none Of them
had found favor In her eyes, and that
she was still free, He would enter it,
he decided; but how?
First Of all, something must be done
to bring Gormly himself into the pub
lie eye in some other capacity, some
higher capacity, some more attractive
capacity, than that Of a mere retailer
Of ribbons, so to speak; the public eye
for Gormly being Miss Haldane's liq-
uid orbs. And Gormley knew that the
way to private consideration is more
often than not through public inter
est. He had to do something to justi-
fly himself, therefore, to make himself
known in some enviable way; in short,
he determined to make himself worthy
of her. And again the question arose;
but how?
He had thought vaguely of the "a
cling game, of the most magnificent of
yachts, of the finest and speediest OF
stables, of the fastest string of auto
mobiles, of a thousand similar things
which he had dismissed as unworthy
of his high purpose and inadequate to
his end; until finally, fortune favoring
him, he hit upon the field Of politics.
Miss Haldane in some of those now
rather frequent conferences, had cas-
ually enough remarked that she liked
men who did things, who really &C.
complished something for good in this
world.
Gormly instantly resolved to do
something. Now if any man really
wants to accomplish good in this
world, there are few opportunities of
greater possibilities than those pre-
scented In the political arena. There
is also no field in which it is harder
to accomplish the end. Gormly as a
political force was entirely unknown.
He was without experience. One
requisite, popularity considered vital,
he had, and, that was an abundance Of
money. Another requisite he pos
sessed albeit unwittingly, was char
acter. And still third was his, and
that was imagination coupled with
capacity-the ideal and the real; the
dreamer and the practical man in one!
An irresistible combination that!
Fortune was further kind to him,
however, for concurrently with his de-
cision she presented him with an
opening. Gormly's business was suffi-
ciently great to have enabled him to
extend It in several directions. He
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-06-29

reader. He had neither the time nor
in which were chronicled the doings
of social New York-in which the Hal
dane name was prominent; so he in
structed his private secretary, Cha
loner, upon whose discretion he could
rely, to have sent to him at his private
address all clippings relating to Miss
Haldane. Gormly, therefore, knew the
life Of the object of his attention as
we'll as 1t could be known from its out
ward and visible presentation before
the public. Indeed, there was little
that was concealable under such cir
cumstances-the higher you rise the
less privacy you have, obscurity being
the prerogative, or the penalty, Of the
humble-so that he was entirely
aware Of Miss Haldane's goings and
comings, who her friends were, what
houses she visited, what diversions
she affected, who paid her attention,
and so on.
Meanwhile the man did not neglect
his Understanding would ever
make him do that-but he divided his
time between 1t and the young woman
which was a great concession to her
influence. One reason why he had be-
come such an assiduous student Of the
clippings was because he wanted to
know whether Miss Haldane was. or
was likely to be, engaged to be mar
ried. His approximations on that score
were soon set at rest It was Miss
Haldane's second season. She had
created an instant Juror when she had
been launched in society the year be-
fore. The usual contingent Of Inn
pecunious foreigners had promptly
laid their coronets at her feet: but It

He had conceived, some dozen years
before after paying tremendous freight
charges, the propriety of establishing
his own line of freight steamers. 1t
had amused him to combine the prae-
tise Of the ancient merchant prince
with the customs Of the modern one.
He had bought the controlling inter
est in a freight line Of half a dozen
large steamers, which he found no
difficulty in using as cargo carriers
for other people when they were not
supplying his own needs.
The purchase Of the freight line had
with 1t lease of one of the piers in
the North river. The lease had run
out the year before. He had there
after availed himself of what he con-
ceived to be an excellent opportunity
Of subleasing another pier in the East
river. The city had Just completed an
elaborate railroad, surface and sub
way, for the transportation of heavy
freight from the water front to the
great mercantile establishments in
land. This system had been leased
to the Gotham Freight Traction COM

set Of ostensible promoters and d.
rectors, but which had back of 1t pow

Two Party Schemes.

The hostess called this successful
affair pie" party:
When all had arrived the men were
auctioned off by the host, who was
gifted with ready flow Of language,
and he had a keen sense of humor.
The medicine" man was introduced
on the block In this manner: "A man
who was often sought, although he
was known to be addicted to III com.
pany." The bidding was fast and fu-
rious and 1t took all the ready money
of the purchaser to get him. The coal
dealer was described as "The man we
think of when the snow flies" When
all the ladies had secured their part
ners they we're given pieces Of pie
made from paper pie plates such as
bakers use, the edges fastened togeth-
er with red baby ribbon. On being
opened there were slips Of paper with
the words "mince," Cherry" or ZAP
pie" Whatever recipe was called for
the man was to give 1t, while the girl
made the pie in pantomime. This
called forth merry peals Of laughter
The refreshments consisted of individ-
ual pies coffee and sandwiches. The
man who gave the best recipe was
the recipient Of a pie-shaped box Of
sweetmeats.
