CHAPTER XVII.
Opposite the Cathedral.


Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the
calities in New York which are more
widely awake at that hour than at
any other time Of day. but the high
way OF fashion is not one OF them;
and In the neighborhood OF Fiftieth
street. its repose Is as profound as at
any point OF it's long, undeviatingly
straight course.
For over an hour | had waited In
that sumptuous white marble club edi.
fee OF the plutocrats which ostenta-
tiously puuctuates the avenue at Six
tieth street. and. tired OF sitting, nerv-
Gus and disappointed, I had chosen to
walk down to my rooms. believing
that the exercise In the clear, frosty
air would serve to eounteract. In a
measure at least, all three OF these
vexations.
To the limit OF sight there stretched
away a double, converging chain OF
twin lights marking the curb line for
endless blocks. and illuminating the
nearer sidewalk and roadway, IL not
TO effulgence. certainly with clearly
defining radiance. Now and then
met quickstepping pedestrian. usu-
ally in evening dress with cigar alight:
and at more or less brief intervals
limousined motors and taxicabs with
cleaning lamps. sped by me at top
speed. Once a hanson passed. the
hoof-beats OF the nard-drven horse re-
sounding jarringly against the night
silence.
Al Fifty-fourth street cut diagonal
ly across the avenue to the west side,
and. continuing my way southwark,
absorbed In the problems confronting
me, had been for little quite lost to
encompassing objects. Then, sudden
ly, fearing lest In my abstraction
should pass the street on which my
rooms were located. | aroused myself
to get an idea Of my location.
Across the way the grim facade OF
the Cathedral rising dark and sullen
as a fortress made all clear. But, on
my own side OF the avenue there had
been no such Distinguishing mark. The
Gown stone dwellings. anonymously
ugly, with their high stoops and balus.
traded areas, were no more enlighten-
ing than the stone Rigging OF the side
walk or the asphalt Of the roadway.

the same aspect as this. Hut as with

Mississippi River Steamers 0ri0Inat-
ed coonomen That Has Now
Become Universal.

On the Mississippi river I'm olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs. yying with each
other In garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea OF naming his steam
boats cabins instead OF numbering
them. So he named them in honor OF
the states OF the union. each having
above the door the gilt title OF some
state. the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest
state. Other boat owners took up the
idea, and thus the word cabin was
