CHAPTER III.

Society Bursts Upon Mr.. GornIy.
Enter at last, Miss Haldane. accom-
panied by her father. her mother, her
brother, Miss Louise Van Week Stew
art Zone OF her intimate friends and a
possible sister-in-law), DR. Warren
Deveaux "a retired physician, an old
bachelor and an old and intimate
friend OF the family) The newcomers
were all dressed in winter automobile
garments. 1t was young Haldane who
broke the somewhat awkward pause
consequent upon their entrance
'Mr. Goodrich" he began unbutton-
ing his coat and slipping 1t on as he
advanced
Your pardon. SIR" said Gormly.
but Mr.. Goodrich Is no longer the
owner of this place"
Why, Mr.. Gormly." burst out Miss
Haldane impetuously. as she turned at
his voice and recognized him, this is
great surprise, We didn't know
that you were to be one Of our neigh
bors"
She had been IN the background
and had not observed their host until
she heard him speak. AS she spoke,
she stepped forward impulsively with
outstretched hand
Eleanor" exclaimed her father in
great surprise, surveying Gormly as
he spoke. with 4 stare as cold as the
winter weather. do you-ah-know
this gentleman"
Certainly I do," returned the girl.
1T is Mr.. George Gormly Of the CORN
ly store. you know"
"Ah. indeed" began her father.
Il have known him for" she
paused uncertainty.
Seven months yesterday, Miss Hal.
dane answered Gormly, who was
nothing II not accurate.
I'VE have-er-bought things at
your shop for q longer time than
that, I fancy" here interposed Mrs.
Haldane vaguely with an air Of great
condescension.
You have been on my books,
madam. as one of my most valued
customers ever since moved to
Broadway twenty-one years ago." re-
turned Gormly. who was by no means
ashamed of his business, else he would
not have continued in It
Yes" said Haldane at this 1uncture.
II have been making out checks with
monotonous regularity to your frm
ever since"
MY good man" began Mrs. Hal.
dane still somewhat vaguely. and evi-
IDENTIFY rather At = loss how to place
this irreproachably clad and fine ap-
pearing gentleman who had soiled his
hands with trade and yet did not seem
to be at all embarrassed or Ashamed
Of IT.
"Mother!" exclaimed the DAUGHTER.
hlushing with vexatioE "Mr. Gormly,
forgive me, forgot ths& you did NOT
know my family"
Il have seen them often In the
store. Miss Haldane. and have even
waited upon some Of them in other
days myself" replied 0ormly. quite q

bitter and determined attack upon
their franchises and upon their meth
DDS. They knew, OF course, that they
held the aldermen in their hands;
that in their close alliance with the
Sachem society, the Organization that
ran things, they could pass anything
they wanted In defiance of any public
sentiment whatsoever
Gormly had made one blunder; but
like a brilliant soldier he had sue
ceeded in turning 1t to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another. The Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company was made the subject OF
scathing criticism and bitter attack
of which the Sachem society and the
party in power came In for a large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about It.
In previous campaigns the party out
OF power had been led by series Of
forlorn hopes, men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause OF reform
and not noted for much OF anything
else. The leaders of the outs took no
tice OF Gormly. Inquiries began to
be made about him; his business
methods were investigated. his re-
sources were discussed; his character
, was analyzed; his career made the
, subject OF study. From being merely
a name attached to familiar institu-
ton. he became within one month one
| OF the great personalities OF New
York. The situation was intoxicating
Incidentally, he did not lose in the
estimation of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation OF himself, which he had
SO cleverly managed that no one
dreamed 1t was due TO his own motion.
Even in those exclusive circles in
which Miss Haldane moved, which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
| ings on this side OF the terrestrial
| sphere. some account OF Gormly and
his doinss, penetrated. That he was
| rich and bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
! set Men and women there began to
| inquire az to who he was It was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
| enlighten them so far as she could,
! without betraying the nature Of their
/ confidential relation
mere were seVeral papers on the
side OF the administration, which were
| owned and controlled by the party in
power. that would have been glad
indeed to have discredited Gormly;
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing In his life that could be used for
that purpose. Where he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter Of century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
erable accuracy. and indeed there was
little Of It that was not discovered
| and disclosed to the eager public He
was quite willing to talk about the
Gotham Freight Traction company or
any matter Of public moment. but for
the rest he was unshakably silent Ills
early past. therefore. was a mystery:
but the interest in . mystery that has
| no special bearing upon the present
soon dias out
Then Gormly did an unusual thing
for him. He purchased a country
place on Long Island. This received
NO mention in the public press. BE-
cause the whole matter had been han.
dlsd by the Invaluable Chaloner. and
oormly's nams had not appeared at

AN ELUSIVE BONE.
Luz Is Said to Be indestructible, but II
Is Hard to Locate

Much scholarship and anatomical
knowledge have been employed from
time ~ time in efforts To identify the
bone luz. said by ancient Hebrew
writers to be the nucleus from which
the body is reconstructed ut the resur-
rcctioi. There are many marvellous
stories Of the indcstructibility of luz,
and the bone has been located by rival
claimants to the honor of discovering
It in various parts of the human skele
ton.
The most careful searching of the last
published aud amplest treatise on este
ology will not result in the discovery
Of the bone called luz. II will be nee
essary to go to the Frankfort edition
of the "Theatrum Anatomicum" OF
Caspar Bauhinus 1G2D for descrip-
ton: ut is stated by Hebrew writer's
to be a bone which cannot be destroy
ed by fire, water or any other element.
nor be broken or bruised by any force.
Its site Is in the spine from the eight
zenith vertebrn to the femur.
I'VE read that the Emperor Hadriau
once asked Rabbi Joshua. the son
of Chanm. how God would resurrect
man in the world to come. He made
answer, From the bone luz in the
spinal column When Hadrian asked
him how he came by this knowledge
and how he could prove 1t the Rabbi
Joshua produced the hone so that the
emperor could see 1t. When placed In
water II could not be softened; 1t was
not destroyed by fire, nor could it be
ground by any weight when placed on
an anvil and struck with hammer
the anvil was broRen In Sundcr. but
the bone remained intact" HerOnymuS
Maglus represents that, according ia
the TalmudiSts. the real bone is near
the base of the skull. whether II be IN
the base itself or In the spine, NeSaliuS
writes thar this oSslclc Is described by
the Arabs as resembling chick pea in
size and shape. and Cornelius Agrippa
describes II as "magnitudlne ciceris
mundati'' Che size of II shelled peal
Different anatomiStS have held 1t
variOusly TO be the sacrum. the coccyX.
the twelfth dorsal vertebra. one of the
WORKMAN bones in the skull and one
of the sesamoids of the great toe.
