Democratic Triumph

The walking stick, as we know 1t at
present, gained, Its popularity in
France during the eighteenth century,
when it came to be carried by rich
people who had no right to wear a
sword. The dandies ,twirled a thin
bamboo cane in their fingers. but the
great financiers-who mad consider.
able influence az that time-made the
stick fashionable addition to their
wardrobe, and sometimes paid as
much as 10000 crowns for one. This
carrying Of a waIking-stick was re-
garded as democratic triumph over
the nobility, who refused the common
ers the right tosvear sword.-Lon-

his friends greeted Forbes bolster.
ously. They had made sundry wassrs
- to what had detained him. and the
consensus of opinion was that he had
seen . pretty face and followed Il;
which was indignantly denied.
Forbes sat down next to Crawford,
who slapped him on the shoulder. He
liked Crawford the best OF all his
friends; Crawford, the kindly. the
loyal the silent. the scholar who
wrote brochures on ancient hieroglyph-
les. who was rich but who lived like
sensible lawyers clerk; who was al.
ways agreeable and charming, whose
eyes had that calm steady unchanging
gray of the sea where it nears the
horizon. He fought shy OF women:
but he was not one of those mentally
deficient apes who call themselves
woman-haters. He merely avoided
them; why, no one knew. Many were
after him for his money and many
sought him for his own sake, but he
was not to be caught.
Forbes was eager to get him alone

venture, for Crawford was an excel
lent Judge of adventures, being a
great hunter and famed archeolo-
gist, his past bristling with the most
amazing exploits which the newspaper
writer's had not yet stumbled upon.
He lived alone in barn of house
in most questionable district, sur
rounded by mummies and waited upon
by valet who always looked to
Forbes as If he had stepped out OF
one of the cartonnages.
Strange, that the baw-baw man is
generally as empty as sucked egg,
while the mum chap over there in the
corner is Sindbad the Sailor in an i'll
fitting contraption from Poole's.
Though, Crawford's tailor was impec-

lied Crawford, as he raked in the pot.
This is deuces wild tonight, and an
ace-full isn't worth the cardboard it's
printed on. Get into the game; the
night is young. Tho chips ratified
into Crawford's compartment 49,.
Early the winter before Forbes had
broken his leg while riding to hounds
over the Westchester. The surgeon had
given him an anesthetic during the
setting Of the bone. The drug had
not befuddled his brain, but it had
taken away all sense Of feeling from
his body. Just now he experienced
the same bewildering numbness. Jill
