WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT?

Irvine, TO escape the fierce light
that beats upon a newly made MIL
!ionaire, the chief heir to the Searies
fortune remarks that he has ALREADY
filled enough space in the papers
Il don't believe the public would be
interested in my aaffirs," he says.
This misconception as to the ex-
tent of the interest that attends the
curious whims of the tickle goddess
Fortune is easily understood. When
one has lived quietly, not to say oa-
scurely for many years a modest
estimate of ones Importance is m
evitable. Mr.. Walker doubtless ar
oues that he is the same man. ne
ihas always been and that his words
or acts are of no more consequence
than they ever were. But whether
he likes to think so or not, NE has
in fact been suddenly projected into
new world.
. II would be idle TO deny that en-
vironnent is large part OF per-
sonality. The difference between &
thousand year and ten thousand
Ia wear leaves its: mark upon the
most modest. No matter how limit
cd ones ideas or how simple ones
"a stcs. the possession of a fortune
compels radical changes Of circunl-
stance. Of course the heir to mil
lions might continue to live on any
scale he chose and let his money
pile up higher. But this would be
The spirit of the miser. He can
find golden mean between eXtrava-
CANT ostentation and avoidance OF
responsibility. All that Mr.. Walker
has said thus far indicates that he
will succeed in this.
What one would do if one inherited
fortune is ever a pleasing subject
IF speculation. In most cases tho
,eality would be quite different iron
| the dream. The most vivid lma%:
| nation can hardly rrefigure the ex'
tent of the change from. poverty t
| riches. To say that it is a test q
character is to repeat truism. Il
Is more cerInin to be a development
| Of character for better or verse

the plant Of the Pusey and Jones
Company, shipbuilders of Whining
ton, Del, by an injunction granted
by Justice Frederick l.. SiddODs Of

Commandered during the war by the
government which advanced $1,000
900 to aid in construction OF the

was finally fixed at 100000 more

but deductions were made by the

Suffrage Leaders Hope to
Win Ratification at
Special Session.
CBy Universal serviceD

SufragistS will ask the Maryland
legislature to reconsider its action
rejecting the suffrage amendment
and become the thirty-seventh State
to ratify.
This decision was reached bv the
National Woman's. party yesterday
after it was announced a meeting
OF the legislature had been called
for September 20 to provide addi-
tional registration and election IA
cilities t" handle women's votes.
Although proceedings to enjoin
Secretary of State Colby from pro-
claiming the suffrage amendment
are still pending before the District
Court of Appeals, suffrage leaders
declare no such action can block
the right of women to vote at the
forthcoming election. The suffrage
amendment being already pro-
claimed, they maintain, can not be
set aside by Injunction proceedings.

pipcfuI or two under the bed
clothes.
One day a man stopped at the
boat to say that there was work
to be had in the Bronx Park.
where a large number OF labOrers
were required in making some
improvements.
After dinner Burncy walked
thirty yards down the river bank
away from the maddening smell
Of the others pipes. He sat down
upon a stone. He was thinking
he would set out for the Bronx.
At least he could earn tobacco
there. What II the books did say
he owed Corrigan? Any mans
work was worth his keep. But
then he hated to go without -
ting even with the hard heart
screw who had put his pipe ou.
Was there any way to do it,
Softly stepping among the ciods
came Tony. he of the race Of
Goths. who worked in the kitch-
on. He grinned at Burney's ell
bow. and that unhappy man. full
OF race animosity and holdin-
urbanity In contempt growled at
him: What dye want. ye -
Dago?"
Tony also contained a grievance
land a plot. He, too. was
Corrigan hater. and had been
primed to see it in others.
How you Ikea Mr.. Corrigan?"
he asked. You think-a him a
nice-a mani"
ITO hell with m" he said. May
his liver turn to water, and the
bones of him crack in the cold of
his heart. May dog fennel grow
upon his ancestors graves. and
the grandsOns OF his children be
born without eyes. May whisky
turn to Claber in his mouth. and
every time he SnceZes may he
blister the soles of his feet And
tho smoke Of his pipe-may 1t
make his eyes water. and the
drops fall on the grass that his
cows eat and poison the butter
that he spreads on his bread"
Though Tony remained a strang-
er to the beauties of this imag-
cry, he gathered from it the con-
viction that it was sufficiently
anti-COrrigan in its tendency. So
with the confidence of a fellow
Conspirstor. he sat by Burney
upon the stone and unfolded his
plot.
1t was very simple in design.
Every day after dinner 1t was
CorriEan's habit to sleep for an
hour in his bunk. At such times
1t was the duty of the cook and
his helper. Tony, to leave the
boat so that no noise might dis
turb the autocrat. The cook al
ways spent this hour in walking
exercise. Tony's plan was this:

HOMAGE
PAID BROWNLOW
Petersburg Applauds New
CityManager at Mass
Meeting.

Announcing that he is not going
ing to Petersburg as a miracle man.
Louis Brownlow, District Commits
sioner, who will become city man
ager of Petersburg. Va. September
Is, declared before a mass meeting
in the Petersburg High School Tues
day night that Petersburg must be
built, commercially, civically and
industrially brick upon brick and
stone upon stone.
'Ruskin has , said that nothing
beautiful was ever built in an hour.
he said. TT takes time-time to
plan, time to build. ! am not COM
ing to Petersburg os a miracle man.
! am not seeking cheap advertising
by overthrowing everything ! find
the day after I get here"
When Brownlow was introduced
by Robert w. Pritchard, president Of
the Young Business Mems Club.
under whose auspices the meeting
was held the applause was so spon-
taneous and so prolonged that he
was visibly affected. When he fin
ished speaking the crowd rose as
one person and applauded, many
persons making their way to the
stage to shake his hand.
Brownlow recalled that two years
ago he had spoken in the same hall
H. making an appeal for the Vic
tory Loan.
II am resolved" he said, ito give
you everything which / have learn
ed during the past six years in the
position have occupied in the Cap
ital of the Nation and all that 7
have learned in the studies of
municipal government which I made
as a journalist in various countries
of the world.
"Wher come to Petersburg I
leave behind me one of the most
beautiful cities of the world. one
which before We die will be recog-
nized as the Queen City of the earth.
! leave this behind me without one
single psng tc give Petersburg all
that l am. all that ! have"

The Transformation of Martin Burney
By O. HENRY

After Corrigan should be asleep
he (Tony) and Burncy would cut
the moOring ropes that held the
boat TO the shore. Tony lacked
the nerve 10 do the deed alone,
Then the awkward boat would
swing out into a swift current
and surely overturn against a
rock there was below.
Come on and do it," said Bur-
ney. IF the back of ye aches
from the lick he gave ye as the
pit Of me stomach does for the
taste Of a bit OF smoke. we can't
cut the ropes too quick"
All ARR ~ said Tony. But

Tony been moved to decorate the
plot with it's conventional accom-
paniment. He was of dramatic
OWNED the appendage TO villain
Gus Vaccinations as prescribed by
the stage. He pulled from his
shirt bosom a long. black. beau
t!ful cigar, and handed it to Bur
ney.
You Ikea smoke while we
wait?' he asked
Burney clutched il and snapped
off the end as terrier bites at a
rat. He laid it to his lips like a
long-lost sweetheart. When the
smoke began to draw he gave a
long, deep sigh, and the bristles
OF his Gray-red moustache curled
down over the cigar like the tai
Ons of an eagle. Slowly the red
faded from the whites OF his eyes.
He fixed his gaze dreamily upon
the hills across the river. The
minutes came and went
Bout time to go now" said
Tony. That damn-a Corrigan he
be in the reever very quick"
Burney started out of his trance
win grunt. He turned his head
and Gazed with surprised and
Palned severity at his aCcomplice.
He took the cigar partly from
his mouth. but sucked it back
again Immediately. chewed ii low
lnEly once or twice, and spoke. in
virulent puffs, from the corner OF
his mouth:
hat is it, ye yaller haythen? ?
Would ye lay Contriva noes against
the enlightened races of the
earth, ye instigator of illegal
crimes? Would ye seek to per
suade Martin Burney into the dir
~ tricks of an indecent Dago-
Would ye be for murderin' your
benefactor, the good man that
gives ye food and work? Take
that. ye punkin-col assassin
The torrent of Burney's indir-
nation carried with it bodily as
sault. The toe of his shoe sent
the wouldbe cutter of ropes
tumbling from his seat.
Tony arose and fed. His ven
delta he again -relegated to the
hles of things that might have
been. Beyond the boat he fed
away-away; he was afraid to re-
main.
Burney, with expanded chest,
watched his late co-plotter dis
appear. Then he, too. departed
setting his face in the direction
of the Bronx.
In his wake was rank and
pernicious trail of notsome smoke
that brought peace to his heart
and drove the birds from the
roadside into the deepest thick
cts.
