WANT VIEW OF WEALTHY
VISITORS to New York More Interested
in MuItimilIionaires Than in
Architectural Attractions.

The biggest attraction in New York
is the multimillionaire. Sightseers
from the hinterland who crowd Fifth
avenue buses are not half so interested
IN such spectacles as the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the great railroad ter
mlnal stations, the Woolworth build
ing and other skyscrapers, the long
eApanse of water front, with it's great
sea craft, the palaces along the worlds
greatest and most gorgeous thorough!
fare, or the rabble under the nitrogen
lamps of Broadway as they are in get
ting tirst-hand, intimate view of the
great captains of industry and finance.
so say the men that whirl these
s1ghtseers over and across New York
by day and by night.
Sightseeing buses ply the financial
district, it is true, but the conductors
are as ignorant of who's who down
around Wall street as their passen-
gers from Oshkosh, Alfalfa Center or
Deer Trail, but Wall street is the de-
mand of the passengers, nevertheless.
and when the sightseeing buses reach
Wall street they invariably discharge
at least so per cent of their cargo,
which goes abroad to see the sights
for ITSELF
The sight of Vanderbilt or an AS
tor would repay most Of these sight
seers. say the bus conductors. A close
up of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., might
cause a stoppage of traffic, they de-
clare, and a glimpse Of J. Pierpont
Morgan would fix New York irrevo-
cably in their minds.-New York Sun.

MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
; =. Z. :.
American Writer Of Opinion There Ar
Things His ,countrymen Could
Probably Absorb.

:. They are wonderful folk, these
French, and there is no people from
whom Americans can learn more of
the art Of living. While we. with our
high rents, are harassed by the ques-
ton of where to live, they, in spite Of
their high rents, think only Of how to
live. We would do we'll to spend less
thought on the abode and more on the
mode. We could learn from them to
forget our national timidity and to dis
cover our next-door neighbors, says
writer in Leslie's.
The contrast between the excited
buzz and chatter and gayety that
strikes one on entering even the most
homely French restaurant and the
frightened and tremulous whispering
thrown in between long intervals Of
logged eating that goes on in our own
restaurants is enough to shame any
good American. We could learn from
them to put aside our little pamphlets
on "Facts About Sugar" long enough
to enjoy the beauty of a hillside-and
still make enough money out of the
sugar business.
Our shopkeepers could learn that
politeness does not drive away trade.
We could have learned, alas, how to
drink and how not to drink behind
sWlng-doors, or too strongly or too
much. The American business man
who hopes to do business with the
French must learn to deal with for
elgners as we'll as they do and not to
look upon what seems to him an ex-
asgerated politeness as a rich bit Of
comedy, a fault Of which our business
men are, unfortunately, too often gull.

WILD DOGS CAUSE PROBLEM
Threaten to Wipe Out the Sheep In.
dustry in Some Breeding Districts
in Australia.

Wild dogs are presenting a serious
problem in Australia, according to a
Central News dispatch in the London
Westminster Gazette. The correspond
ent at Broken Hill, New South Wales,
says that unless immediate measures
to protect the flocks of sheep are
taken, they will have to be replaced
by cattle in the districts north Of
Broken Hill.
The seriousness of the situation is
described by John Dunno, president Of
the West Darling Pastoralists' associa-
ton, who states that, although there
has been good season, pastoralists in
the Darling River district and north as

far as the Queensland border are faced
with one Of the greatest problems
within the memory Of settlers In that
part Of the country,
Reports are coming to hand from
all parts Of the district" he added, "of
the enormous losses incurred owing to
the prevalence Of wild dogs. Already
country which before the drought was
admirable sheep country, is now
stocked with cattle, and likely to con-
tinue to be stocked unless the dog
nuisance is successfully dealt with"
Last year the western vermin board
was formed at Wilcania and the gov
eminent then In power granted $780,
600 for fencing in the western division
against wild dogs, but owing to a
change Of government since that time
none Of the money has been forthcom-
ing and the wild dogs have now come
right into the western division and are
creating havoc among the focks.

CHAPTER CC1V.

CHAPTER o11N-
 For weeks Jim and I haven't given each other any happiness Thefe no lodging that fact. Time was when no matter how sadly we differed, we made up for the hurts iD the tender ness we showed each other afterTwaro. Now Jim sights and be1ittleS me and there isn't any compensating tender ness later.
 I've been wondering and wonder ing if any man but one tired of his wife would say calmly to her:
 Do you mean to tell me we've come to the parting of the ways?'
 I can gloss over the fact that Jim was almost brutany indifferent to my running away from Betty's because Anthony Norreys was there. That must mean he's lost the interest in me that would once have made him wildly jealous at the thought Of my vlsltlns Terry and Betty when Tony was there. I suppose that in turn is eX- plained by the interest he feels in Valerie Cosby-the interest he showed so plainly on our weekend trip. It is hard to bear. But it isn't as startling as my own attitude toward the midnight auto ride lime and Val took I asked no question then 1 don't know that I'll ever discuss it, for strangely enough, it doesn't seem worth bothering about. Perhaps I've suffered all I can through Jim, and am numb now, impervious to any thing he can do.
 1 Since he doesn't care what I do unless my actions help or hinder hlm with his business friends, and-if what he does no longer matters to me, haven't we come to the parting of the ways? And if we have-do I care? I don't know. I only know that l met Anthony Norreys for lunch. Six | m onths ago I wouldn't have dreamed of doing such a thing, but six months ago Jim and I were happy.
 l Tony was waiting when arrived at 1 the restaurant. As he rose and came 1 to greet me, his smile illuminated bis | worn face. and made his ice-blue eyes I warm and kind. My restlessness van I ished as it always does before the 1 combination of Anthony Norreys' | strength, sweetness and honesty. | tsWelcome!" he said. i've a table | at a sunny window looking out on the l avenue and there are pungent clans
