we stick to the path. If you try to
act in any case on what your judg-
ment or your sympathies may advise,
and without consulting me, you may
cause the city, the people, and all that
you know or care for TO be blotted out
of existence. Do you understand? Do
you believe me?'
Il understand; / believe you,' re-
peated the girl trjfle family.
Darrow left without further cere-
mony. Helen stood where he had left
her on the rug, staring after him, a
new expression in her eyes. She had
known Percy barrow many years. Al
ways she had appreciated his intel
lect, but deprecated what she had con-
sidered his Incidence, his softness of
character his tendency to let things
drift. For the first time she realized
that not invariably do manners make

CHAPTED XIV.
The Master Speaks Again.

Having thus detailed rather infinitely
the situation in which the city and
the actors in its drama found them
selves, it now becomes necessary to
move the action forward to the point
where the noneyed interests took a
hand in the game.
That was brought about in some
what more than fifty hours
In the meantime the facts as to Vi
brations were published in all the pa
pers; the dispatches and the relations
between Mccarthy and Monsieur Y
exclusively in the Dispatch-to that
organs vast satisfaction and credit
and the possibilities OF tragedy in
none. This latter. fact was greatly to
the credit of maligned class of men.
1t is common belief that no cause is
too sacred or no consequence too grave
to give pause to the editorial rapacity
for news. The present instance dis
proved that supposition. No journal,
yellow or otherwise, contained line
of suggestion that anything beyond
annoyance was to be feared from these
The consequences on a mixed popu-
lation like that of New York were
very peculiar. The people naturally
divided themselves into three classes.
In the first were those who had re-
ceived their warning from logic,
friends, or the outside world. and who
either promptly left town or, being un-
able to do SO, lived in fear. In the
second were all that numerous body
who, neurasthcnically unbalanced or
near the overbalance, shut instinctively
the eyes of their reason and glowed
with devastating and fanatical re-
ligious zeal. Among these, so extra
ordinarily are constituted, almost i'm
mediately grew up various .sects, unit
ing only in the belief that the wrath
of God was upon an iniquitous people.
BY far the largest class of ALL, COM
prising the everyday busy bulk of
the people, were those who accepted
the thing at its face value, read its
own papers, went about its business,
and spared time TO laugh at the alb
surdities or growl at the inconveni.
ences OF the phenomena. With true
American adaptability, it speedily ac-
customed itself to both the expecta-
ton of, and the coping with, unusual
conditions. 1t went forth about its
daily affairs: it started for home q
