Wall Street spectators, driving
home in their carriages, love to
point out these men to their visit
ing friends and tell them of this
rather famous lounging- place of the
crooks" On Wall Street the specu-
lators never use the file blades of
their knives.
Vuyning was delighted when one
of this company stepped forth and
addressed him as he was passing.
He was hungry for something out
of the ordinary, and to be accosted
by this smooth-faced, keen-eyed,

TUYNING left his club, cursing
V It softly, without any particu-
lar anger. From ten in the
morning until eleven it had bored
him immeasurably. Kirk with his
fish story, Brooks with his Porto
Rico cigars, old Morrison with his
anecdote about the widow, Hepburn
with his invariabLe luck at billiards
all these Affections had been re-
peated without change of bill or
scenery. Besides these morning evils
Miss Alison had refused him again
on the night before. But that was
a chronic trouble. Five times she
had laughed at his offer to make
her Mrs. Vuyning. He intended to
ask her again the next Wednesday
evening.
Vuyning walked along Forty
fourth street to Broadway, and then
drifted down the great sluice that
washes out the dust of the gold
mines of Gotham. He wore a morn
ing suit of light gray, low, dull
kid shoes, a plain, finely woven
straw hat, and his visible linen was
the most delicate possible shade of
heliotrope. His necktie was the
blue-gray of a November sky, and
its knot was plainly the outcome of
lordly carelessness combined with
an accurate conception of the most
recent dictum of fashion.
Now, to write of a mans haber-
dsshery is a worse thing than to
write a historical novel around"
Paul Jones, or to pen a testimonial
to a hay-fever cure.
Therefore, let it be known that
the description of Vuyning's ap-
parel is gernane to the movements
of the story, and not to make room
for the new fall stock of goods.
Even Broadway that morning was
a discord IN ,Vuyning's ears; and in
his eyes II -paralleled for a few
dreamy, dreAry minutes a certain
bowling, scorchinG, seething malo-
dorous slice ~ street that he re-
membered in Morocco He saw the
struggling mass of dogs, beggars,
women in carts without horses, the
sun blazing brightly among the ba-
zaars, the piles of rubbish from
ruined temples in the street-and
then lady, passing, jabbed the fer
rule of parssol in his side and
brought fim back to Broadway.
Five minutes of his stroll brought
him to certain corner, where a
number of silent, pale-faced men
are accustomed to stand, immovably,
for hours, busy with the file blades
OF their penknives, with their hat
brius on level with their eyeliGs.

is burglar and safe-blOwer and a
pal of mine"
oh, Mary Ann" said they. Must
you always adorn every statement
with your alleged humor?"
1t came to pass that at in the
evening a calm. smooth, brilliant,
affable man sat at Nuyning's 3ght
hand during dinner. And when the
ones who pass their lives in city
streets spoke of skysCTapers or OF
throne, or of insignificant fish
from inconsequentiaT streams, this
big, eep-chested man. faultlessly
clothed, and eyed like an emperor
disposed of their LilIirutran chatter
with a wink of his eyelash.
And then he painted for them with
hard, broad strokes marvellous
lingual panorama of the West. He
stacked snow-topped mountains on
the table, freezing the hot dishes
of the waiting diners. With a wave
OF his hand he swept the clubhouse
into pine-erowned gorge. turning
the walters INFO a grim posse, and
each listener into a blood stained
fugitive, climbing with torn fingers
upon the ensanguined rocks. He
touched the table and spake, and
the five painted as they Cazed on
barren lava beds. and each man took
his tongue between his teeth and
felt his mouth bake at the tale of
land empty of water and food.
AS one of his listeners might have
spoken Of tea too strsng at Mad
ison Square afternoon" 50 he de-
picted the ravages of "rcdeye' in
a border town when the CaballeTos Of
the lariat and 'forty-fve' reduced
ennui to a minimum.
And then, with a sweep ots his
white, unringed hands, he dismissed
Melpomene, and forthwith Diana and
.Amaryllis footed 1t before the minds
eyes of the clubmen.
The savannas of the continent
spread before them. The wind, hum
ming through a hundred leagues OF
sage brush and mesquite closed
their ears to the city's staccato
noises. He told them OF camps, Of
ranches marooned in a sea of frag-
rant prairie blossoms, of Gallops
in the Silly night that Apollo would
have forsaken his daytime steeds
TO enjoy; he read them the great
rough epic of the cattle and the
hills that had not been spoiled by
the hand of man, the mason. His
words were telescope to the city
men, whose eyes had looked upon
Youngstown, Ohio, and whose
tongues had called It West"

fully, were making their visits at
night. l guess, and didn't have a
chance to catch on to the correct
styles"
81 tell you what" said Vuyning,
whose ennui had taken wings, I'll
take you to my tailor. He'll eIimi-
nate the mark of the beast from
your exterior, That is, if you care
to go any further in the way of
expense"
Play 'em to the ceiling" said
Emerson, with boyish smile OF joy.
I've got a roll as big around as

loose as the wrapper of a two-for-
fiver. l doP't mind telling you that

tipodes when the burglar-proof safe

moonless nights ago to the tune of

Aren't you afraid" asked Vuy-
ming, that I'll call a cop and hand
you over?"
You tell me-" said Emerson,
coolly' why didn't keep them"
Man, said Vuyning, revelIine.
did you ever hear the tale Kirk
tells about the six-pound trout and
the old fisherman"
Seems not" said Emerson, politely,
I'D like to-
But you won't" said vuyning.
I've heard it scores of times. That's
why l won't tell you. I was just
thinking how much better this is
than a club. Now, shall we go to
my tailor?"
Boys. and elderly gents" said
Vunying, five days later at his club,
standing up against the window
where his coterie was gathered, ana
keeping out the breeze, "a friend OF
mine from the West will dine at our
table this evening"
will he ask If we have heard
the latest from Denver?" said a
member, squirming in his chair.
Will he mention the new twenty
three-story Masonic Temple, in
Quincy, In.?" inquired another,
dropping his nose-glasses.

western Mississippi River catfish
stories, in which they use yearling
calves for bait2" demanded Kirk,
fiercely. ........
