CHAPTER XVII.
Chicken, or Steak?

On the outbreak of bygone rude
ness between the United States and
Spain, one free and entirely uncurhed
metropolitan paper, unable to ade-
quately express it's violent emotions
on the subject, utilized its whole front
page with the one word ''War!" print
ed in red ink.
Now, however, the free and entirely
uncurbed, having risen most gloriously
in the past to every emergency, no
matter how great, positively foun-
dered in the very wealth OF its oppor-
tunities.
Saturday night, however, saw no
late extras. The ''story" was too big
to touch without something more tan
gible than the word of even so sub.
stantial man as Gerald Fosland; and
long before any of the twelve eager
young gentlemen had reached the Of
fee, the scout brigade, hundreds
strong, were shifting over every trail
and yelping over every scent.
Until three o'clock in the morning
every newspaper Office in New York
was a scene of violent gloom. The
worlds biggest sensation was in those
offices, and they couldn't touch it with
a pair of tongs! The deterrent was
that the interests involved were SO
large that one might as we'll sit on a
key of gunpowder and light it, as to
make the slightest error. The gentle
men mentioned as the organizers Of
the International Transportation com
pany collectively owned about all the
money and all the power and all the
law in the gloriously Independent
United States of America; and If they
got together on any one subject, such
as the squashing of newspaper, for
instance, something calm and impress
sive was likely to happen. On the
other hand, If the interesting story
the free and entirely uncurbed had in
it's possession were true, the squash
ing would be reversed, and the free
ness and entirely indebtedness would
be still more firmly seated than ever,
which is the palladium of our national
liberties; and heaven be good to us.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)

With the Essayists.

OF all the displays of art the essay
is the most indefinable, the most sub
tie. because it has NO scheme, no pro
gram.
1t does not set out to narrate or to
prove; it has no dramatic purpose, no
imaginative theme; its essence is a
sympathetic self-revelation, just as in
talk a man may speak frankly OF his
own experiences and feelings, and yet
avoid any suspicion of egotism, if his
condolences are designed to illustrate
the thoughts of others rather than to
provide a contrast and a self-glorifica-
ton.
The essayist gives rather than
claims; be compares rather than pa
rades. He is led by his interest il
others to be interested in himself, and
it is as a man rather than as an indi-
vidual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discov-
cries he makes about himself, rather
than complacent; he must condone his
own discrepancies rather than exult
in them.

ESCORT COULDN'T SEE JOKE
incident at Coney ISLAND That Prob
ably Taught Confetti ThroWer
Lesson He Needed.

A large Well-dressed man and
handsome woman were in the Mardi
Gras crowd at Coney island, New
York. They had been waiting some
time for the parade and the woman
began to yawn. Now yawning is a
very unladylike performance in pub
lie, and rather dangerous one in a
COney island crowd, for while the
woman had her mouth vide open and
was getting all the worth there is to
be had out of good healthy yawn a
young man bent on mischief threw
handful of confetti right plump into the
Orifice. The woman coughed and splut-
tered, and the hOodlum shrieked with
delight. Those about him thought it
was grand joke, too-all but the
woman's escort. He reached out one
powerful arm and grabbed the skylark-
ing youth by the shoulder. Then he
brought his fist down on the young
mans straw hat, crushing it and driv.
ing his head through the crown and
partly over his ears. Next he turned
the young man around and kicked him
with all the force and swiftness that
outraged dignity and fierce anger to-
gether with great strength afforded.
If that youth RECEIVERS from that kick
and throws confetti again he wil3 be
careful in picking his target. And,
maybe, the handsome woman if she
yawns again in hurry will not do so
in such a mob as turns out to see a
Coney island celebration.

tasy, and the red-headed reporter was
still writing and stufing loose pages
in his pocket, and the one with the
beard was making surreptitious
sketch of Gerald Fosland, to use on
the first plausible occasion. He had
in mind a special article on wealthy
clubmen at home.
Company Incorporated" inquired
Hickey, who was the most practical
poet of his time.
Il should consider that a pertinent
question:" granted Gerald Gentle
men, you will pardon me for a mo-
ment," and he bowed himself from the
room.
He had meant to ask that one simple
question and return, but, in Arlene's
blue room, where sat two young wom-
en-, in high state of culver, he had
to make his speech all over again, YER
batim, and detail each interruption
and describe how they received the
news, and answer, several times, the
variously couched question, if he
really thought their names would not
be mentioned. 1t was fifteen minutes
before he returned, and he found the
twelve young gentlemen suffering with
an intolerable itch to be gone. Five
of the young men were in the library,
quarreling, in decently low voices,
over the use of the phone. The i'm
perturbable Hickey, however, had it,
and he held on, handing in story, en-
bellished and colored and frilled and
beribboned as he went, which would
make the cylinders on the presses
curl up.
II am sorry to advise you, gentle
men, that l am unable to tell you If
the International Transportation COM
pany is, or is about to be, incorpo-
rated" reported Gerald graVely, and
he signaled to William to open the
front door.
AS the rapt and enchanted Hickey
passed out of the door, grip like
pair of ice tongs caught him by the
arm, and drew him gently but hrmiy
back.
Sorry" observed Gerald. "but you
don't CO."
Hasn't that ID boy got here
yet?" demanded Hickey, in an imme-
date mood for assassination. He was
large young man, and defective mes
senger boys were the bane OF his
existence.
William says not" replied Gerald.
For the love of Mike, let me go!"
pleaded Hickey. "This stuff has to be
handled while it's still sizzling! It's
the biggest story of the century!
That boy'll be here any minute"
Sorry" regretfully observed Ger
aid; but l shall be compelled TO de-
tain you until he arrives"
Cant do it," returned the desper'
ate Hickey. Il have to go! ana ne

Once more the ice tongs clutcned
him by tie shoulder and sank into the
flesh

shall be compelled to thrash you,
stated the host, again mildly.
Hickey looked at him, very thought
fully. Gerald was a slim-waisted gen.
tier,ap. but he had broad shoulders and

Marshall is Absent.
In the Senate, practically nothing
was done except the election of Sen
ator Clarke of Arkansas as president
pro tempore. Vice President Mar

ness of his wife.
Both houses, after sending a joint
committee to the White House to
give official notice of the opening OF
Congress, adjourned. The real bust
ness of the session begins with Presi

o'clock.

After the president has delivered his

Until the working committees are

in the week. The Republicans began

Gerald FosIand Makes a Speech.

Gerald FcsIand Makes Speech.
Gerald Fosland, known to be so for
NAL that he had once dressed to an
swer an emergency call from a friend
at the hospital, because the message
came in at six o'clock, surprised his
guests by appearing before them, in
the salon just before dinner, in his
driving coat and with his motor cap
in his hand.
Sorry" he informed them. with a
