selling, specializing, but he was pru-
dent enough, to have two trusty giants
closely follow his steps. He seemed
to have no desire to attract attention
by provocative luxury. He had no
taste for spending. Gifts to char
liable institutions, to synagogues and
Christian churches won for him the
favor and good will of everybody.
During one of his journeys the bish-
op of Caracas persuaded him to be con-
verted, and he decided to take this
step without hesitation when he
learned of what social advantage it
would be to his son, young Moses.
No doubt it was to prepare him for
his future position in society that the
youth was promptly sent to the Jesuit
brothers of Cordova.
Thus the heir of Eliphas had his
life all mapped out. Richly provided
for by heavy bank account, there
remained nothing more to be done
than further to fit him for the place
he was to occupy. To prove that he
did not solely rely upon the power
of wealth to pave the way of his
offspring, Eliphas yielded to the addi-
tional suggestion to buy a title from
the Pope. He did not aspire to any
thing higher than a simple baronetcy.
Some asserted that there was in this
step an adroit fattery, addressed to
the great kings of his race in the hope,
were it possible, to obtain pardon for
his apostasy.
AS Henry Nv after his conversion
remained indulgent towards his obsti-
nate Huguenots, so Eliphas secretly
ycfr HI FDx s4o
assured himself Of the goodwill of
Israel, while he was building cathe-
drals in honor of the Holy Virgin and
the Trinity. Our capitals offered him
their palaces. He bought them and
paid for them royalty. Thus he won
the esteem of their former owners and
by discreetly rendering them certain
services even acquired their warm
friendship.
After he had accomplished all this,
Baron Eliphas wisely died, leaving his
son Moses in full possession Of the
powerful position that he had so scru-
pulously assured for him by divers
acts, in which both the good Lord as
well as the devil had their share.
II
1t must be admitted in praise of
Baron Moses, that he seemed to ac-
cept nothing in the legacy of his
father with as much joy as the story
of the honor pledge faithfully kept
towards Jose Ramon Y Lopez, which
was the original source of the baron
etcy of Goldschlammbach At the
death of Eliphas he had the story
most artistically printed and published
in all languages. Owing to the re-
moteness of the time and the place,
the rest of the biography seemed to
have effaced itself in the memory of
his contemporaries.
The question now arose, what Baron
Moses was going to do with the
enormous wealth and prominent So
cial position which the restless life
Of the father had secured for the in
nocent heir. But whoever may have
asked that question, it, was apparent
ly not Moses himself. For spontane- J
ously, without the least premedita-

resisted the temptation of summary
condemnation and prompt execution.
Then one day he seriously wounded
game warden. That led to sensa-
tional reports in the papers, although
the man received a generous pension.
Another time he himself was struck
by stray shot. From that time he
no longer appeared at his hunting
parties, but was represented by his
stable master, a man familiar with
the customs and manners of society.
The theatre bored him as much as
did life itself. What interest was
there in watching people clamoring
to obtain by ruse or by force-or
even by divine interference-what
they do not possess, when the hum
blest millionaire could have simpli-
fled all those tiresome formalities?
the universal solution for all prob
lens, what pleasure could come from
watching the development of human
conflicts?
There were the arts. Should he
yawn at the opera, seated behind
naked shoulders, always the same, or
buy well-known paintings, relying on
the word of others, since he himself
lacked personal judgment? Or
should be collect antiques, snuffboxes,
or even bandages, as did a famous
baron who was reigning in Paris So
ciety? What purpose was there, what
pleasure could be derived in the pur-
suit of such fads
Finally there were the sentiments
of communal spirit, love of mankind,
the desire to serve progress by pro-
noting education, the patronage of
science, the encouragement of dis
coveries. All this is deadly stale,
monotonous and Of no appreciable
effect upon the present, upon the
man who expects nothing from these
things in furtherance of what he loves,
because he loves nothing, and for the
simple reason that nothing is given
nor refused to him.
Still one must do' ones share in the
charities, no doubt, in order to be
with the current and to satisfy ones
own conscience. It is not difficult
to do that. At Carlsbad Moses had
seen on many bourgeois houses this
pharisaical announcement: "Protec-
tion against beggarv." By renting
certain sum to the community, the
owners of these houses obtained the
right to arrest every beggar and to
let him starve without danger of be-
ing accused of inhumanity, since they
had given their share. This is SIM
plified Christianity, the gospel of ad-
ministrative mechanism. Moses could
not conceive of any other manner of
rendering assistance. Every year he
remitted to competent authorities a
certain sum, sort of supplementary
tax. that he had imposed upon him
self, and this being done, he would
sincerely say to himself that night:
"I am a good man."
No, he did not know real goodness,
this poor man, since the pleasure Of
procuring Joy to others by personal
privation. by personal sacrifice, was
necessarily denied to him. AS he was
not wicked and the beggars beseiged
his door, he established not far from
his residence a welfare agency, the

TY COBB GAINING
 STEADILY ON SISLER
Georgia Peach' Is Only fl Points Behind Browns Slugger

Chicago. July 22.-tBy the Asso- ciated Press)-Perhaps Tyrus Ray. mond Cobb is convinced in his own mind that he is slowing up after 1T years as a stay in the American league but George Stsler. the marvel player With St. Louis whose. batting honors Cobb Is threatening today. Is positive the Georgia peach" will be his most dangerous rival for the 1922 batting championship.
 Sisler Drops Back
 The race between Cobb and Sisler today had narrowed down to a dif- ference of only II points with sisler setting the pace with an average of ,4ls a drop of four points within a week. Cobb continuing his batting rampage smashed out nine>hits in his last i've games bringing his average to .4o6 while the best Sisler could do was four in as many games.
 Sisler however Is showing his worth in base stealing and scoring having registered 79 times and stolen 3l bases-the best base stealing perform. ance in the major leagues.
 Walker Falling Behind
 Clarence "Tillie" Walker the slug. ging outfielder with Philadelphia is having hard time catching Rogers Hornsby, the National league home run leader. Just when "Tillie" poles out circuit drive Horrsby bags one for himself. Tillie smashed two out in one game and ran his string up to 23 which gave him lead of two ahead of Ken Williams of St. Louis. Harry Heilman of Detroit has 1s and Babe Ruth 15.
 Vet and Recruit Star
 A recruit and veteran are giving the National leaguers something to talk about this week. The recruit Is Lawrence Hack" Miller, the Pacific coast slusger with Chicago and the veteran is Jake Daubert, first baseman with Cincinnati. They have been welding the hickory with telling ef- feet each cracking out a dozen hits in their last seven games. Daubert's g hitting included two doubles and a home run while Miller bagged four circuit drives and two doubles.
 Hornsby's keen eye and hitting prowess keeps him out in front among the major league home run clouters with a string of 25 for the season.
