CHAPTER XIII.

Wright had no means of knowing
what it was Judge Gilbert had to pro-
pose to him. but he felt certain that 1t
had some connection with his news
paper and with the campaign now end
ing in a lurid blaze of political pyro-
technics. Gloria Kerr was the last
person he would have thought OF meet
ing in Gilbert's Office. He had prom
ised himself that after the election, no
matter whether it went his way or not,
he would see her and make his ex-
cuses for not having had the time to
be with her as he had wished He
would also begin to look about for
purchaser for the News. He hoped he
would have no difficulty in getting Clio
ria to leave Belmont Then for the
new life with her where they could be
ever together, one In heart and hope
and happiness.
When Williams told Wright that
Judge Gilbert was ready to see him,
he opened the door and saw the law
yer advancing to meet him with ex-
tended hand. The adviser OF Belmont
corporations knew the value of hand
shake and a cordial greeting. II made
s. visit to his office take on the ;sir of
a social affair.
I'm so glad you came" he said to
the editor, shaking hands heartily.
Il came as soon as could" Wright
was not going to be optdone, and
therefore used his most genial tone,
although the shaking hands on his
side was a perfunctory performance
He knew Judge Gilbert's real attitude.

stances savored TOO much of the

is such burden as would hurry and
ruin poor man, or even a moderately
wealthy man.
Disregarding the care and worry
consider the financial drain. Here Is
sum variously estimated at from
$5J,000O00 to $125.OO0,OOO tied up in
beauty and rarity. 1t pays not a cent
of interest 1t may be increasing in
value, but that is not income. 1t is in
sured for about $4,000 0O-and the
annual premiums on this insurance
amounts to 100000.
One hundred and two thousand dol
lars year-simply for interest on
heirlooms! This is enough to give any
man pause. One would think Morgan
would wish to turn over his collections
to the American people simply to get
II on his mind, to use a homely phrase.
Also to get the annual premium pay
ment on his profit and loss account.
What Is the moving factor?
According to many it is hot anger at
the American people for assailing his
fathers memory at the same time as
demanding the gift of $50,000,000 In
things beautiful to look at
According to others it is his anger
at the city of New York in the ill
housing of the collections, and dilatori-
ness in erecting further museum build
ings. 1t is notorious that the elder
Morgan was displeased at the city
fathers sloth. But would the latter
have let this influence him to such
an extent as to despise the proposed
gifts them selves?
1t must be concluded that the elder
Morgan intended his enormous collec-
tons for the American people. 1t is
uncomfortable that he collected stead
lily and eagerly all the years of his
manhood without some object in view
1t is inconceiyable that he expected
his son to sell these lovingly assem-
bled objects. He would not have
wished to burden his sons life 18th
the care and bother of them all. 1t is
the obvious answer that he meant
these things for his country.
And truly a wonderful heritage 1t is
which Mr.. Morgan left. whether to his
son or to the American people. The
greatest collectors of Europe have
left behind them stores which are
shabby in the art sense when com
pared with the almost limitless collec-
tons of Mr.. Morgan.
This colossal hoard was not collect
ed hastily. 1t is not the product sim
ply of lavish expenditure.
Mr.. Morgan was ever a discrininat-
ing buyer, seeking ne best and getting
it regardless of the cost. He was a
genuine lover of art and a close stu
dent CT its history.
The agents who at his bidding ran
sacked Europe year after year in
search of its rare and beautiful things
operated under the direction of the
master mind
The part Of the Morgan collection
which has attracted widest attention
is the immense treasure of beautiful
things that was originally displayed III
the Victoria and Albert museum in
South Kensington, London. 1t is now
housed ia the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, much of it is still unpacked.

money, but with it several very oner-
Gus burdens. He left him the duty Of

the greatest financing concern in the
western hemisphere, and perhaps on
the globe. He left him church duties,

CHAPTER xII.-continued.

Inc DOSS 1urJner opinion concern
Ing settlement work was not voiced
because, while Kerr was talking, Judge
Gilbert had telephoned Williams to
usher Mrs. Hayes and Miss Kerr into
the library.
Followed by the other men, Gilbert
advanced to meet them, and after the
usual greetings had been exchanged,
offered them chairs.
you must pardon u.s." began Mrs.
Hayes. Eve did not expect to find
you so busy. To tell the truth, we
didn't expect tc find two persons
here whom we have already visited"
She looked at Kerr and her husband.
I'm the Cheerful Giver." said Kerr
with a humorous grimace which pre-
tended to show that the donation was
not so cheerfully parted with.
I'm not so cheerful, but l was a
giver," added DR.. Hayes.
Il tod Judge Gilbert to lock the
safe, that l knew you would be after
money" Kerr continued.
Highway robbers, call them" was
DR.. Hayes testimony this time.
"a bad reputation they've given US,
Judge Gilbert" laughed Gloria, land
we don't deserve it, indeed we don't"
Kerr walked into the private Office
and Gilbert, catching his eye, followed
him. The boss said something; Gil
bert looked at the women and then
nodded his head in assent. Dr. Hayes,
also catching the boss eye, strolled
away from the group casually as the
fudge rejoined It A word with him
was all that Kerr required. The mas
ter OF Locust Lawn was setting the
stage with an eye that overlooked no
detail. There was too much at stake
for him to neglect to interpolate any
thing effective which chance might
throw In his way.
AS the two men walked back into
the library, Mrs. Hayes was saying:
"Dr. Hayes and have had quite an
argument, and here are the lawyers,
Gloria, who can settle the question for
us. Can woman steal from her nus
band, Mr.. Kendall?"
Kendall knitted his brows in per
plexity Really, Mrs. Hayes, that is
va question I shall have to take I'M
der advisement."
But man can steal from his wife"
Gloria put in. There was a general
laugh at this which she did not relish
I'm talking seriously. If ii weren't
so, we mightn't be here begging
money"
so you are after money" said
Judge Gilbert lightly. Then you must
tell me why l should contribute to
keep men from stealing from their
wives, you who have no one to steal
from YOU"
Gloria was not to be diverted from
what she had to say. These men to
whom she was talking represented to
her what was best in Belmont. what
was best in manhood. She wished
them to see the truth as she saw it
1T isn't that kind of stealing" she
went on; tits worse than that. Till

as head of the house of Morgan, but
most perplexing of all, he left him this
weigbty burden, this gigantic white
elephant, of art.
Why weighty-why a white ele.
plant?
Because the American people has
come to believe in some way or other
without especial rhyme or reason
that these art treasures belong to it.
Perhaps it is an intuitive feeling-a
feeling that American dollars, the
sweat of American brows, the strain
ing of American muscles and the col
lective thinking of American brains
bought this hoard
The elder Morgan fostered this idea
undoubtedly. He is said to have eX-
pressed the wish to make New York
the leading art center Of the world
Nothing gave him greater pleasure
than to stand as one of the reception
committee at a function of the Metro
politan Museum of Art and meet the
art aristocracy (far different from the
artistocracy of wealth. which crowded
in.
1t was then that he relaxed the most,
that his too infrequent smiles most
often grew expansive, that he seemed
truly the grandson of the hospitable
Hartford innkeeper, whose progeny
have become Americas banking dicta-
tors
Then did he most enjoy the great
fortune he had amassed. 1t was as
the modern Maecenas more than the
modern Croesus he liked to consider
himself and would have liked to be
remembered
Is ]. Pierpont Morgan the younger
a chip of the old block?
He is no longer a young man. He
is now forty-seven years old. In build,
personal appearance, manner Of dress,
he greatly resembles his father at the
same age. He has his fathers imper-
alive, forceful manner, if he lacks
some of the Olympian gruffness. He
has his fathers habits of hard work,
his love of yachting, even his ability
as a trencherman. He has fitted so
we'll into his fathers niche that those
who criticize the Morgan financial
dealings often fail to discriminate be-
tween the works of the father and the
works of the son.
But what of that other Morgan, the
Morgan of the exquisite marble Ii
brary, the Morgan of the Princes Gate
treasure house, the Morgan of the
- hn WI
the despair of Europe?
Outwardly young" Mr.. Morgan has
shown little interest in those things
in which his father reveled He has
become officially identified with the
Metropolitan Museum, but this was TO
be expected ex of1cio-from the heri-
tage of his father. No one has heard
of this Morgan spending half a mil
lion for some one thing he must have.
No one has heard of his adding a sin
gle article to his fathers collection
since the latter's decease.
Moreover-and this is the point so
eagerly watched in art circles-he ad-
mits that he will sell part of his faith
er's treasures. Part? How large a
part? VIII it be simply some Of the
old gentleman's unlucky purchases
the results of the incidents in which
according to common report his
shrewdness was bested?
Or will it be such disposal of intrin-
sic elements as will destroy the fabric
of this wonderful collection-this as
semblage so vast that hundreds of
thousands of dollars were spent in cat
aIoguing alone?
Above the art heritage of Morgan
was referred to as great burden. 1t
