MAGAZINE SECTION for August 27, 1916

Il could wait in the lobby, he hazarded.
aYou could-but maybe you'd better
not" said the clerk, yawning openly.
"The rugs cost money. So did the chairs.
Besides, we don't allow soliciting"
Unless Morgan had caught glimpse Of
himself in the mirror at this juncture,
he would certainly have gone over the
counter. But in the nick of time he saw
the truthful reflection of stocky young
man, dark and frowning, man whose
clothes hung dejectedly from his shoul-
ders, whose hat, soaked and shapeless,
clung forlornly to his head, whose shoes
were already the center of spreading
pool of water on the mosaic foor-and all
at once the humor of the situation mas
tered his anger. Furthermore, it was
dramatically amusing to encounter in
the person of an underpaid employee of a
second-rate hotel, a barrier that hampered
him in returning moneys to the lawful
possessor. Morgan laughed shortly, and
scribbled on a card, which became soft
and spongy on contact with his sleeve.
"H one Of your guests goes crazy" he
said, signing his name, "there's my ad-
dress and the telephone number. I'll be
at home all the evening. Only, if you
know what's good for you-"
"Front!" At the tap of the bell two
uniformed pages raced smartly to the
desk. "Show this man to the Main Street
entrance"
MORGAN, still laughing, followed the
- impudent lad who led the way across
the lobby. At the revolving doors he
fingered, irresolute. To be sure, the man
who had insulted him was, in sense, the
representative of the management-and
it was always possible to demand an in
terview with the manager himself In the
great safe the money would be unques-
tionably we'll guarded. Nevertheless, it
wasn't absolutely settled that the pack
age belonged to guest at the Majestic
there were tall office buildings adjoining.
Morgan thought Of the police-and
Evening star., 1916-08-27

thought of the police no more. The local
force had a reputation beside which the
worst precinct squad under the worst city
government Manhattan ever knew would
have seemed an aggregation of tender
kindergartners. He looked back across
the lobby, and perceived his late acquaint-
ance glaring stonily at him, with one hand
poised over the call-bell. The uniformed
page showed symptoms of uneasiness.
Illogically, all in an instant, Morgan
glowed with personal responsibility.
"Taxi!" he said sharply.
"Taxi?" The page was incredulous.
an hurry"
The boy signaled, the doorman blew
shrill blast on his whistle. Out of the
murk a closed car ran in to the curb, and
stood, throbbing. Morgan, clutching in
his hand his whole pocket, including the
sheaf Of notes, leaped inside, tossing a
dime to the amazed but ungrateful page.
motor drew noisily ahead, am going
to have an apology out of that tailor's
dummy-see if l don't!"
I IKE the majority of those who never
have anything to conceal, he found
the selection of a hiding-place extraordi-
narily difficult. He didn't dare to carry
the money with him; he didn't dare to
trust it out of his sight. Eventually he
compromised by burying it under pound
of tobacco in bright blue tin. That
would do, he thought, until some agonized
and white-faced plutocrat dashed up to
the dingy clearinghouse in half an hour
or so.
He went down to dinner, ate little, and
spoke in monosyllables. The discour-
agement of the earlier afternoon had
quilted him utterly; he realized only
that upstairs in his cheap bedroom he
had twenty-five hundred dollars of some
body's money for which, in law, he was
chargeable. The other men at table
like himself, novices in the realm of COM
merce-rallied him increasingly; and

under mantle of great hilarity. At ten
o'clock he succumbed, and, making vague
excuses to his friend, fastened around the
corner to drugstore, and got the man.
ager of the Majestic on the wire.
"No one has reported any loss, Mr..
Morgan, said the hotel man civilly. 4IIl
instruct the desk to look into it. What
was in the bundle, did you say?"
"That's for the other fellow to say. 1t
was simply fiat parcel done up in yellow
paper"
"Thank you for advising us. I'll give
you ring if anybody turns up. Very
kind of you. Good-by."
Back in his room, Morgan alternately
conversed with remarkable vigor, and sat
in dead silence, until Hancock wandered
off to bed. Twenty-Five hundred dollars
lost for four hours and no trace of the
owner! Queer that some men wouldn't
even miss it-while others might be finan-
cially embarrassed at having to pay sixty
cents for a taxicab! He decided that at
midnight he'd stop this silly vigil and 60
to sleep. Quarter of eleven now.
Let's sea man could buy two pairs
of black foxes for two thousand cash and
three thousand in notes-or he could get
good automobile agency in Rio or Cape
Town-last year Cape Town absorbed
twelve thousand motor-cars. Suppose
you sold only two hundred the first year?
The commission would be two hundred
dollars apiece, but the overhead would
eat up hundred and forty or fifty-and
you'd need a service station, and supply
of parts
Half past eleven. No message from the
Majestic yet. Two thousand dollars in
vested in General Motor at S5-
Midnight. The dreamer of dreams re-
clined in his Morris chair before an empty
fireplace and upon his face was the smile
of a man who is seeing visions, and inter-
preting them as he sleeps.
TT was nearly seven o'clock when he
awoke, cramped and stiff and unre-
freshed. His first thought was of the
treasure in his keeping; his first act was
to assure himself that it was invioate.
And, even before breakfast, he went out
to secure a morning newspaper and to
scan thoroughly the columns of classified
advertisements. To his amazement, the
"Lost and Found" section bore no message
for him.
Two alternatives presented themselves:
he could go to the police or he could take
the initiative in advertising. The former
suggestion he had already considered and
discarded; the latter he approved and
decided to adopt. On the way to the
Office, he thought, he could stop at the
Courier building and insert II conservative
recital of the facts.
But his friend Hancock, not being sub
ject to psychological waves of repulsion,
didn't comprehend that on this particular
morning his company wasn't desirable.
Instead, the Amherst man-who had once
contemplated studying for the ministry
apparently regarded it as his duty to
deliver lecture upon two main topics:
the dignity of labor, and the loyalty of
workman to master. From the moment
he left the breakfast-table with Morgan
until they arrived at the motor factory,
he elaborated these points with great
earnestness, bringing out with due EN-
phasis that well known set of platitudes
beginning with Keeping everlastingly
at it brings success and ending with

For the benefit Of those interested in
the Belfast Philharmonic Association
it has been thought best to make pub
lie the following outline of the work
Of the association during the past
year; many have confused this society
with the Belfast Musical Society: but
as matter of fact it is separate Or
ganization. having members from a
musical society and the band besides
many members belong to neither of
these societies. Under the auspices of
this association the opera "Mikado'
was successfully given in February,
1915. and again in July, 1915. The Chap
man concert last season was under the
auspices Of this organization. This sea-
son the association conducted a Lyce-
UNI Course, which was in accordance
with the aim of the society to pro-
mote the best in music and other arts
which elevate the moral standard of
the community. This expensive course
not only paid for itself, but there is a
good working balance in the treasury
SO that an even better course may be
planned for another season. The asso-
citation has recently engaged Miss Ger
trude Mcclure Of Bangor, violinist, to
conduct rehearsals Of the Orchestral
Club. This is an excellent opportunity
for the young musicians playing or
chestral instruments to get practice in
ensemble playing and it is hoped that
many of the young people will become
members.

fungcides and insecticides has been
effected with considerably less labor
than the year previous, and the results
Of inspection have been fully satisfac-
tory: this seems to be partly due to
the fact that the law, being year old
err. is more thoroughly understood by
the dealers Offering these products for
sale, and also from the fact that the
dealers are more familiar with just
what constitutes an insecticide. In all,
two hundred and forty-two brands Of
fungicides and insecticides were regis
tered in Maine for 1915.
It is with regret that we report such
small number Of samples collected
as compared with the number taken
last year; the variety Of substances col
lected, however, was nearly as great,
including arsenate of lead (paste and
powdered form), lice killers Gin liquid
and powder form). cattle oils, tuber
tonic, lime sulphur solution, PyroX
sheep dipping powder, Paris green, etc.
Only thirty-three samples were taken;
inspection, however, was not started as
early as last year and. because Of this
fact, before the Inspector had finished
making TOUR VI tHo Nolo.c' many -
the brands We're not to be found upon
the dealers shelves.
AS for the results Of the analyses
as noted in the tabulations-they do
not show serious deficiency in any
one Of the products. In one or two in
stances the product is considered I'M
lawful as it did not bear the proper
markings indicating the quantity OF
the contents, but the insecticidal quail
ties have been found to be up to the
guarantees in the manufacturer GER
tificates and no hearings on this charge
have been appointed.
Not as large a number Of insecti-
cides were found offered for sale I'M
registered as in previous years. NJ
merous dealers, however, We're FOUND
handling two or three unregistered
brands that have been sold extensively
and no apparent excuse could be Offer
ed as to why registration had been ne
elected. One hundred and sixty-two
hearings were arranged. 1t will be the
purpose Of this department to start the
inspections for 1916 earlier and to deal
less Ieniently with those found offering
unregist cred goods for sale.
