Der at the proceedings which they
vowed to institute If they ever found
their way back home again.
Meantime, lone woman was elbow
ing her way through the underbrush
Of Bonanza Park. Bedraggled, and
with her eyes red from weeping, she
sank down on a moss-grown rock and
wept some more.
ooh, Cliffy, Cliffy, Cliffy, what have
you done?' she walled. ooh, me, oh
me, oh my!"
Staggering to her feet again, she
wiped her eyes with a wet ball, which
was her handkerchief and remnant
of the ostrich plume.
It was nearly dark but she stumbled
on and on until she came to a road.
Along this she trudged and more by
luck than otherwise, reached the rail-
road station at last and finally arrived
at her apartments about midnight In
the hall she nearly fell over VIII u.
G. Jones, who was waiting inpatient
ly, seated on two packed suit-cases.

"Cut in out" he warned in a whis-
per. Lets get away. The Hudsons

there Monday. Hurry, dearie. Get

money, but hurry. Get it."
Mrs. Jones tiptoed into the apart
ment She turned on the lights and
cast long, last glance at the pretti-
ly furnished quarters in which they
had lived. Sobbing quietly, she re-
turned to her husband with a large
leather bag.
Now, how much is there?" he de-
manded.
She did not answer. Jones turned

was. What about the dogY"
ooh, nothing much, except that you
took the same dog several times and
his little, short tail sticks out at the
same angle all the way up the line.
That came pretty near giving the
whole snap away, but | noticed II in
time and had the dog procession re-
touched out by a photographer"
After a strenuous day of acting and
locking the part of manager of the
properties" Jones went home to din
ner. AS he assembled the steps, he
met the Rev. Hodge coming out of the
building. He was struck by the par
sons hurry.
Good evening, Mr.. Hodge," said
Jones. Wont you stay for dinner?"
"Good-good evening" suffered the

"You are off, all right, all right"
thought Jones as the clergyman fairly

stairs instead of taking the elevator
and found Mrs. Jones fiustered and
apparently very happy.

her hands, 81 have good news for

should say it has. But ask no more

After dinner Mrs. Jones coyly set
tied on the parlor sofa with her hus-
band. He tried to find out the little
secret, but she was adamant.
Tomorrow night my little husband
will have to take dinner in restau-
rant" said Mrs. Jones suddenly.
"Why, dearie?"
"Cause have promised Mr.. Hodge
to go to the church picnic. We go
early in the morning and will return

"You know, dearie, that I can't get

piled Jones, and bit his lip, where
are you going?"
"Now, isn't that funny" laughed
his wife, 81 didn't ask. We are go
ing to take the train quite a distance
and then walk little. We were go
ing to the beach, but that has been
changed"
The following day was busy one
and Hudson invited Jones to his house
for dinner that evening. Hudson
had taken a large furnished house
when the business increased and had
religiously kept Mrs. Hudson and
Mrs. Jones apart.
"1 would have asked Mrs. Jones and
yourself over to dinner many time"
he said to Jones as they were smok-
ing their after-dinner cigars on the
veranda, "but you know that trouble

were busy drawing up contracts for
deeds and a steady stream Of money
made MIR. Hudson appear at regular in
tervals In the outer Office to relieve a
big tin cash box of its burden.
Now and then a prosperous looking
fellow rushed in and demanded six or
ten lots in a loud voice at a price OF
about three hundred dollars each. He
would tear out pink checks from big

eagerness, and rush out clutching the

Hudson could be heard saying through
the transom between the two rooms.
"But the tremendous power developed
by Bonanza Falls shall not go to
waste. Electric light in every home

Hudson was Strengthening out crum-
pied paper money and making neat
bundles of it when Jones appeared.
"Who is the millionaire out there

Jones.

Just about how often the crowd
changes and pops up about every for
ty minutes and buys a block or two.
He is reckless with money, can tell
you"
For quite a week the money con-
tinued to pour in and the promoters
began looking for more land to han
die on the same basis.
One evening when Jones returned
to his home he found his wife con-
versing earnestly with grave looking
person attired in black, who clutched
a faded umbrella with a dislocated
rib, and, at intervals, applied a hand
kerchief to his small pale nose.

More than glad to meet you, Mr..

clergyman's hand. 81 will have more
time from now on and mean to de-
vote considerable of it to the church

With expressions of deep satisfac-
ton in this assurance and after re-
lieving himself of trihe of small
talk, the parson departed.

as soon as the door closed.
Gle came to ask me confidentially
about Bonanza Park and / told him

Jones put his arm around his wife
and they skipped through the hall like
two children and fell to their dinner
with great enjoyment.
The first customer at the Office the
next day was the Rev. Hodge. He

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS They May Give Away Their Money, but Never Themselves, Says
 c. X. chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather important things to be said about them. The first Is this: That with this arisioeracy We do not have the chance of a lucky variety in types which belongs to larger and Iooser erisiecracies. The moderately rich Include all kinds of people--even good people. Even pT.esss are some times saints: and even soldiers are sometimes heroes. Some doctors have really grown wealthy by curing their patients and not by hatteripg them: some brewers have been known to sell beer. But among the very rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident They ma, give their money aNSy, but they will never give themselves away: they are egotistic. secretiye. dry IS old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money. you must be dull enough to want t.
 Lastly. the most serious point about them is this; That the new miser Is Battered for his meanness and the old one never was. It was never called self-denial in the old miSer that be lived on beans. It is called self. denial in the new millionaire if he lives on beans.
