A Forbrddino Example.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
Hetty Green, with all her opportunities,
scored one great achievement. That
achievement was not the accumulation of
the greatest fortune possessed by any
woman. Her supreme achievement was
in demonstrating to the world the absc-
lutte poverty of wealth without humanity.
When we come to estimate her life we
find ourselves utterly deprived OF any
small points which we can so magnify
as to obscure her blind, unconscious self
ishness and turn her into a princess
bountiful or il godmothcr of American
enterprise.
Hetty Green's passion merely to pos
sess wealth naturally took two forms,
She lived, first, to get luoAes, .llu, sec
ond, not to spend It. Inheriting a for
tune the mere interest from which would
nave enabled her to live in royal splen.
dor, raise a large family and give her
children all a splendid start in life. with
enough left over to make her name re.
membered for it's benefactions, she i'm
mediately started %grubbing for more aad
saving the nickels she would have spent
In carfare had she not beer penurious
almost to the point Of insanity.
But may Hetty Green's soul rest in
peace. She sold her life on this earth for
gold. which She could not enjoy because
OF the misery which always attends a
grasping nature, and because she could
not take it with her. She is the classic
example of what a multimillionaire should
not be. And fate has been unfair to her
sex to choose from its few representa-
uves OF immens fortunes the most for
bidding example of them all.

brake, worked his way upstream TIL
he had reached country more hoSplt-

his doubts about crossing. But ne
would take any chance to put the river
between him and his hunters. He
pushed on. His left arm had to be
favored, as he could scarcely move IT.
Using his right to spread the Willows,
he slipped sideways between them and
made fast time. There were narrow
aiSles n washes and holes low down
and paths brushed by animals, all OF
which he took advantage OF, running,
walking. crawling, STOPPING any way
to get along. To keep in q straight line
was not easy-he did it by marking
some bright Sunlit stem or tree ahead,
when he reached it looked straight
on to mark another. His progress
necessarily grew slower, for as he ad-
vanced the brake became wilder,
denser, darker. Mosquitoes began to
whine about his head. He kept on
without pause. Deeping shadows under
the willows told him that the afternoon
was far advanced. He began to fear
he had wandered in a wrong direction.
his anxiety, and after a tollsome pene-
tration of still denser brush he broke
through to the bank of the river.
He faced a wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes on the opposite
bank extending like a green INC yellow
wall. Duane perceived at a glance the
futility OF his trying to cross at this
point. Everywhere the sluggish water
laVed ~quickstand bars. In fact, the bed
or the river was all quickstand, and
very likely there was not a foot of
water anywhere. He could not swim;
he could not crawl; he could not push
a log across. Any solid thing touching
that smooth yellow sand would be
gTasped and sucked down.. To prove
this he seized a long pole and, reaching
down from the high bank, thrust it into
me stream. Right there near shore
there apparently was no bottom to tho
~treacherous quicksand. He abandoned
any nope of crossing the river. Prob

pace nlg enough to stretch out on, he
lay down. For the time being he was

Some time during the night Duane

not see a star or a branch or tree-trunk
or even his hand before his eyes. He lay

some stealthy, soft-footed beast trotted
by him in the darkness; there was q
