Because of the prospect that it may have political results as important as those which attended the courteeits personally exchanged by President Loubet and King: Edward, France is awaiting with eagerness the approaching visit of the Kins and Queen of Italy, who, accompanied by the Italian foreign minister and other distinguished Italian officials, will cross tho French frontier Wednesday morning. The first official reception to their Majesties will be given at Dijon, and from the frontier until they reach Paria King Victor Emmanuel and his consort will see decorations Including the entwined arms of France and Italy, which the enthusiastic French peasants have raised at almost every station. On arriving in Paris at half-past 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon their Majesties will be received at the Bois da Boulogne Railway station by President and Mme. Loubet, tho president of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the ministers of state and other high officials of the republic. French soldiers. In their striking uniforms, will surround the station and stretch in two long lines from the station along the flagbedecked Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, through the Art; de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees to the Place do la Concorde, where a battery will add its thunder to the official welcome. Between the lines of troops the Italian rulers, accompanied by the French . President and Mme. Loubet, will drive to the palace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where they will be lodged during their stay. The apartments have been exquisitely furnished and the King will sleep in the bed occupied by Napoleon. Many souvenirs of Marie Antoinette will beautify Queen Helena's boudoir. Tho King and Queen will dine at the palace of the Elysee, the President's residence, on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday they will go with President and Mme. L.onbet to Versailles, returning In the evening in time to attend a gala performance at the Grand Opera, in which some of the most distinguished artists in France will appear. The visitors will be driven through the principal thoroughfares of the city on Friday and visit the mint. A reception will be given in their honor at the Hotel de Vilie in the afternoon, and in the evening Foreign Minister Delcasse will give & banquet to their Majesties. On Saturday the King will go shooting with the President in the state preserves at Rambouillet, while the Queen will visit the Museum of the Iuvre with Mme. Loubet. The' day will end with a family dinner at the Palace Elysee. On Sunday there will be a grand review of the garrison of Paris on the parade grounds at Vincennes and in the afternoon the royal party will leave Paris on their return t Rome. The decorations being put up in Paris in honor of the visit of the King and Queen of Italy will surpass those erected for King Edward. On the Palace de la Madeleine a large arch has been constructed bearing the Inscription "Viva Vittorio Emanuele," and along the principal avenues have been stretched lines of bunting with electric lights concealed within artificial flowers, looped upon crimson and gold Venetian mats. Two large columns stand at the entrance to the Avenue de l'Opera. one surmounted by the lion of St. Mark's and the other with the wolf-suckled Romulus and llcmui, reminders of the arms of Rome. Arches which will be lighted with iectricity have been erected in the Avenue ie l'Opera and nt the junction of Rue 1 loyale and Rue du Faubourg St. Honore. The statesmen of France and Italy recognize that there are possibilities in the visit of the Italian King of the greatest importance which may lead to closer relations and seriously affect the triple alliance. Sigr.or Prinetti, the former foreign minister of Italy,' has declared that, allied, the two countries could exercise great influence on the European concert. President Loubet shares the opinion and earnestly seeks a rapprochement with a Franco-Italian treaty of arbitration similar with the one n bout to be concluded with Great Britain. During tho visit the greatest precautions will be taken to prevent any injury to the King. Every suspect will be arrested and IlUcUvcs will accompany the sovereigns during the entire period of their stay in French territory. IVJiy the Cnr AV11I Xot Visit Home. PARIS. Oct. 11. The Figaro this morning, publishing from an "authoritative"' source that the statement that tho Czar's visit to Rome has been postponed, adds: "This decision will not affect the good relations existing between the courts of Rome and St. Petersburg. The mere raising in certain political circles of the question whither the Czar would be welcomed suirUes to wound Russian susceptibilities. Czar Nicholas is not afraid of hostile tu1: lonstrations, but" lie cannot carrr out the plans tor his visit while the Socialist party is discussing its attitude toward a sovereign who is not merely visiting a friendlv court, but the whole Italian nation, it Is hoped in Kus3la that ,tho ciri umstances compelling the postponement f the Czar's visit to Rome will soon cease, en;; t. ling his Majesty to make the visit he to greatly desires." GERMANY VS. AMERICA. Tuo Nations Compete at the World Fair In Science of Forestry. ST. LOt: IS. Oct. 11. The United States government, contrary to all precedent, will participate in a competitive exhibit at the world's fair in St. Lauls. L'ncle Sam will have lor hir. rival the German empire. Which nation's methods of forest .management is nett and most practical is the iiobiem to be solved by actual demonstration. two tracts of land, already partially covered with trees, und each about live acres in extent, have been assigned to the Lnited Staus and German governments us the laboratory of their tests. The two li- Mde by side, so that the visitors may waU through what the Americans call an ai borctum" and observe all American methods of forestry, and then step across into what the German designates as a forest garden" and learn the German method.- ... . Xo tres will he cut from either tract. Rather transplanting will be resorted to. tiwi when the exposition opens miniature forests, perfect in every detail, with narrow gravel walks winding in and out may be seen. Every tree that thrives in the latitude of St. Louii will be represented and the specimen can be easily designated. Attached to each tree will be an aluminium label on which will be: stamped the botanical and common names. In one respect the exhibits whl be the fane. Each display will embrace practically the same number of trees, and tney will be practically of the same varieties. Here all similiarity ceases The treatment will accord with the practices In vogue in ths respective countries. In tne American arboretum the trees will bo planted, trained and pruned and treated according to the American idea. In the German forest : garden will be reproduced. In the miniature, the effects that obtained in the forests of the fatherland, and the story of how the Wonderful forests of that wonderful coun

try have been preserved through agrs. and renewed from. tlrrie to time, will b told by practical demonstrations.

ine exhibits will be in charge of. the most expert foresters to be found in the two countries. Interest will upt center In the exhibits merely because they represent all that Is best in the forestry of both countries, but because of the practical demonstrations and tests that will we made every day of the exposition. Trees will be transplanted and the most approved apparatus for this work will be shown in actual operation. Trees will be pruned and all of the implements used will be a part of the exhibit. Trees will be Inoculated with disease, and when the disease is fully developed the most approved treatment will be accorded the affected trees. Careful data will be kept on all such experiments and the results will be made known, together with a full description of the treatment in order that the preservation of the forests may be accomplished. Forests probably have mere deadly foes In the insect world than they have in the ax of the woodman, and far more difficult to circumvent. This will afford an exhibit of exceptional Interest. Collections of the Insect enemies to trees will be gathered and kept carefully isolated. On occasions best adapted to experiments that will reveal all the effects of the destroying powers of the Insect, and the efficacy of the treatment to be given, the insects will be released and permitted to attack tho trees. Then sprays, washes and other treatments will bo resorted to. Some valuable experiment will be made every day and full details may be had of the process and results. Much rivalry exists between the German and American foresters, and each class will do all in their power to prove that their methods are the best. MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR RETIRED HOTEL KEEPER SHOT IX ANOTHER. MAX'S I1003I. Entered a Stranger's Dwelling:, Declined to Tell Wlint He Wanted anil Was Severely Wonmletl. TRENTON. N. J., Oct ll.-IIenry Erown, a retired hotel-keeper, and a man of considerable means, was mistaken for a burglar early this morning and wa3 shot by Peter Kotz, into whose house Brown had forced an entrance. Brown was shot twice In the head, and his physicians have no hope for his recovery. Brown's act in breaking into Kotz's house is unexplainable, except on the ground of insanity. Brown was acting strangely in the early part of the evening, and is said to have been drinking quite heavily. Kotz lives in a suburb remote from Brown's home, and the two men and their families were entirely unacquainted. About 3 o'clock this morning Kotz heard a noise down stairs, and picking up a revolver, went down to tho drawing room, followed by his wife, carrying a dim light. Kotz demanded to know who Brown was and what he wanted.- Brown made no answer, but instead walked toward Kotz, who, thinking Brown was a burglar, and fearing for his own life, lired two shots. Brown fe.ll with the second shot and has remained unconscious since. Kotz immediately gave himself up to the police and is still under arrest. Brown was taken to St. Francis's Hospital. His unconscious condition permits of no explanation of his conduct, but the supposition is that in his bewildered condition he thought he was getting into his own home. He made his entrance through a window. FREAK HOOKS ABOUT OLD TIJIES. Startling Information About Period of the AVnr for Independence, Washington Post. " t If one had the time it would be well worth the trouble to spend a month at the Library of Congress, looking over what the librarians call "freak books." Now and then, In all countries and climates, some one is seized with a desire to write a book in some manner other than the way usually followed, and such productlons'are oftentimes grotesque and ridiculous. This Is not only the case at present, but it has always been so, and nearly every age can show the work of some person who had nothing better to do than to busy himself with the production or a wprK mat was cnietiy yemarkable for its iitterly nonsensical and outlandish character. Of these, one of the most remarkable Is a bock entitled "The American Revolution," written in "Scriptural or ancient historical style, by Richard Snowden, Baltimore. Printed by W. Pechin, 10 Second street." No date is given, nor is there any preface or foreword as to who or what the author was,- but it is evident from the name of the publisher and several other things that it appeared some time about the year 17S6. The book is just what its title announces, a very blundering and poor attempt at writing a history of the revolution in the English of the Stuart period, which ignorant people imagine was the spoken tongue of Moses, St. Paul and all the other Bible characters. In fact, the work is somewhat on the style of the Mormon Bible, that is to say, written in nineteenth century English with "And it came to pass," or an "exceeding sore" ladeled in here and there to give it a somewhat Biblical twang. It seems that people were eomewnat given to this form of diversion in the early days of tho Republic, and it is now a fact well known to students of American history that the Mormon Bible, that Is to say, the Book of Mormon, was "simply cabbaged bodily by Sidney Ridgon from a Biblical romance written by a preacher of the name of Samuel Spalding. The work in question, which may be seen by any visitor to the Library of Congress, begins as follows: i. In the thirteenth year of the refgn of George the King, whose dominions extended from the island of Britain to the uttermost parts of the earth. "2. The same King made a decree to tax the people of the' provinces in the land of Columbia, for they had paldno tribute to the King, neither they nor their forefathers " The battle of Lake Champlaln is thus described: . .. .. "20. And it came to pass when tho ships of the King of Britain were drawing nigh unto the navy of Benedict (Arnold), that the men of war shouted, and the shouting of the warriors was heard afar off. "21 And Benedict, the chief captain of the navy in Columbia, and Pringle, the chief captain of the ships of the King of Britain, thirsted for battle, and the roarins of the destrojing engines was heard, and the battle lasted until the time of the ofTering of the evening sacrifice, and two of the shins that were with Benedict fell a prey unto the men of Britain. "22. And It came to pass, while it was vet night, that Benedict escaped with the remnant of the ships; and when 1 the sun arose the chief captain of the ships of the King of Britain thought to have ended the warfare with Benedict: and. lo! he looked and behold, the ships wero departed from "23 Then the mariners hoisted up the nnchors of the ships and loosened the sails fo the wind, and made all speed to pursue after Benedict and the men who were with hi'-4lnAnd when the wind sprang up the ships moved swiftly upon the face of tho water and overtook Benedict In the ships. Nevertheless, some or those who . were the foremost escaped to the hold that Ethan (Allen) and Benedict had taken. "3 But Benedict, seeing that the remnant of the ships could not escape from falling to the men of Britain, he cast out fe "r and prepared to light with Pringle, the chief captain of the ships, if. peradventure. he could by any means get his men out of the ships to land. ,M6 And the battle waxed hot, and continued for a space of two hours, and Benedict ran the ships on the land, and the shirjs were as walls and bulwarks against the 'balls of the destroying engines, and thp men srot safe to land. tn.fo7m And Benedict, fearing lest the ships shoVld fall into the hands of the servants of Great Britain, he burned them with lire. "2$ Now the banuer of the great Sanhedrim (the Continental Congress) was in the hlp that Benedict was in. and he cast in h mind that he should get a blot if The banner, should fall into the hands of the onpmv therefore, he tarried in the ship until the fire was kindled; and Benedict got great honor among the armed men, and his fame was spread afar off. 29 Thus ended the battle between the two captains; and the winter was nigh at hand ami the soldiers of the King of Britain were fain to depart into their winter '"flowuono could have the patience to wade through this mess of nonsense it would be hard to imagine, but doubtless in those days, when everything in America turned on Bible and religion, this remarkable boo!: wfcs thumbed over and eagerly read us o, very clever aud witter effusion.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH JAPAN RUSSIAN MINISTRY AWAITING IXSTItUCTIONS FROM HOME. Xo Further Warlike Moves Made liy Either Nation Both Evidently Prepared for Contingencies. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 10. Baron Von Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan, is still awaiting instructions from" his government in tho matter of negotiations now proceeding between Japan and Russia. A Russian regiment from the Baikal military district" Is reported to have arrived at Feng-Chenn-Tlng, about iiftcer. miles northwest of Peking and ninety miles from the Russian frontier. M. Lessar, Russian minister to China, has announced that the Manchurian convention has lapsed. The Manchurian convention between Russia and China was signed April 8, 1902, and according to it the evacuation of the three Manchurian provinces was to be carried out in three successive periods of six months from the signing of the convention. A note from M. Lessar was appended to the convention declaring that "if the Chinese government, notwithstanding the assurances given by it. violates any provision of the convention, the Russian government will not hold Itself bound either by the terms of the Manchurian agreement or by tho declarations previously made in connection with the matter and will be compelled to repudiate any responsibility and consequences that might result therefrom." China was to be permitted to maintain whatever force she thought necessary in Manchauria after the evacuation of that territory. Russia also agreed If Tien-Tsin was restored to the Chinese within the first six months to evacuate New-Chwang at the time this restoration was made. The allies turned over Tien-Tsin to the Chinese Aug. 13 last year. The convention was to have been ratified within three months, but this was not done. Last month M. Lessar, in his note to the Chinese foreign board, promised to begin the evacuation of Manchuria Oct. 8, provided China accepted several conditions, which China has refused to do, under pressure principally from Japan and Great Britain. CONFLICTING REPORTS. One Sny War I Imminent and Another Sayn All I Quiet. LONDON, Oct. 12.-The correspondent of the Morning Post at Che-Foo, telegraphing Oct 10, says: "It Is stated that the Japanese have decided to declare hostilities to-morrow on the expiration of their ultimatum to Russia, Tho Russian fleet has cleared from Port Arthur. It is reported that the Japanese are landing troops at Masanpho, Korea, "There are strong indications that Germany favors hostilities, on the ground that it would enable her to extend her sphere of influence In China. "A number of held guns were embarked at Port Arthur yesterday for an unknown destination. All thetavallable force of workmen is employed on the fortifications. "The cholera and the plague have broken out among the Russians at New Chwaug." Another dispatch to the Morning Post from Che-Foo, datrd Oct. 11, 8:50 p. m., says: "The situation is unchanged. All is quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are still believed to be imminent. It is asserted that the Russians have fixed Friday next for their commencement. There is an exodus of Chinese merchants from the Yal valley. They are arriving at Che-Foo." The Daily Mail s correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs: "Careful inquiries show that the only Japanese troops at Ma-San-Pho are on the small territory conceded to Japan in connection with railway building, and their presence is therefore In accordance with treaty rights." A Singapore dispatch to the Daily Mail says that the British admirals of the China, Australian and East Indian squadrons h;;ve arrived at that port and will confer aboard his majesty's steamship Glory to-morrow to discuss the questions of naval concentration and strategy in the far East." v The Tokio correspondent of the Times telegraphs that the statement that Russia has proposed the partition of Corea is unfounded. It Is generally asserted, but not yet officially continued, that Japan has obtained the concession for the SeouleKalseng section of the Seoul-Wlju Railway and also for tho Masan-Pho branch. 4 WAR IS POSSIBLE. Both Japan and Uassla Acting as if They 31 lKh t Fifth t. BERLIN, Oct. 11. Russia and Japan act as though either would fight if tho other should hold Immovably to the position taken up In the last exchange of communications. This is the actual situation as understood officially from reports received from the German embassy in St. Petersburg and the German legation at Tokio. Yet this mutual attitude with hostile preparations by both countries is still regarded here as not excluding an honorable arrangement Neither government has gone so far that It must fight or be humiliated, but either Cabinet by a single step can put the other In that position. This delicate balance may, of course, be violently disturbed any day, though no ultimatum has yet been thrown on either scale. It is believed here officially that war, should It occur, would be between Russia and Japan alone, and that neither England nor France would be involved. Frederick the Great's remark was quoted as illustrating the present posture of affairs "negotiations without weapons behind you are like a musical tone without instruments." Indiana Rival To Langlcy. Stone City News. Charles Scroghan, who lives three miles south of Nashville, Brown county, made an unsuccessful attempt to fly over Nashville Saturday night with a flying machine, built after his own ideas. Scroghan is thirtyseven years old, and since boyhood has been a flyer of kitesand balloons. Two years ago he began making a machine with which he hoped to fly, the contrivance to be strapped about his body. He worked patiently during the two years, and several times thought he had successfully solved the problem of Hying through the air, but his attempts were failures. He did not give up, but continued making improvements, and two weeks ago climbed upon the house where he lives and jumped off. .He came slowly to the ground. The effort fired him with hope, and he went to Nashville and spread the word that he was going to start from Weed Patch hill last Saturday night and fly over the town. He said he would start at dark and carry a lantern. He said he thought he would tell the people about it, so they would know what was going over the town and would not shoot at him. He made the attempt from a high cliff. After he Jumped he was found far below with a broken arm and other injuries, while the flying machine was a wreck. The machine had two large wings, made to fasten tu his arms. Scroghan will make changes in his machine as soon as he is able to work on it Monroe Found the Lenk.

Chapter XXXVII in repeated for benefit of CHAPTER XXXVII. THE DEPARTURE OF UNCLE PETER AND SOME GERMAN PHILOSOPHY. The Bineses, with the exception of Psyche, were at breakfast a week later. Miss Bines had been missing since the day that Mr. and Mrs. Cecil G. II. Mauburn had left for Montana City to put the Bines home in order. Uncle Peter and Mrs. Bines had now determined to go, leaving Percival to follow when he had closed his business affairs. x "It's like starting West again to make our fortune," said Uncle Peter. He had suffered himself to regain something of his old cheerfulness of manner. "I wish you two would wait until they can get the car here, and go back with me," said Percival. "We can go back in style even if we didn't save much more than a get-away stake." But his persuasions were unavailing. T can't, stand it another day," said Mrs. Bines, "and those letters keep coming in from poor suffering people that haven't heard the news." "I'm too restless to stay," declared Uncle Peter. "I declare, with spring all greenin' up this -way I'd be found campln up In Central Park some night and took off to the calaboose. I just got to get out again where you can feel the wind blow and see a hundred miles and don't have to dodge horseless horse-cars every minute. It's a wonder one of 'em ain't got me In this town. You come on In the car, and do the style fur the family. One of them common Pullmans is good enough for Marthy and me. And besides, I got to get Billy Brue back. He's goin plumb daft lookin' night and day fur that man that got his thiity dollars and his breastpin. He says there'll bo an ambulance backed up at the spot where he meets him makes no difference if it's right on Fifth avenue. Billy's kind of near-sighted at that, so I'm mortal afraid he'll make a mistake one of these nights and take some honest man's money and trinkets awaysfrom him." "Well, here's a Sun editorial to take back with us," said Percival; "you remember we came East on one." He read aloud: "The great fall in the price of copper, Western Trolley and cordage stocks has ruined thousands of people all over this country. These losses Vare doubtless irreparable so far as the stocks in question are concerned. The losers will have to look elsewhere for recovery. That they will do so with good courage is not to be doubted. It might be argued with reasonable plausibility that Americans are the greatest fatalists In the world; the readiest to take chances and the least given to whining when the cards go against them. "A case in point is that of a certain Western family whose fortune has been swept away by the recent financial hurricane. If ever a man liked to match with destiny, not Tor the beers, but for big stakes, the young head of the family in question appears to have been that man. He persisted in believing that the power and desire of the rich men controlling these three stocks were great enough to hold their securities at a point far above their actual value. In this persistence he displayed courage worthy of a better reward. A courage, moreover the gambler's courage that is typically American. Now he has had plenty of that pleasure of losing which, in Mr. Fox's estimation, comes next to the pleasure of winning. " "From the point of view of the political economist or the moralist, thrift, saving and contentment with a modest competence are to be encouraged, and tho propensity to gamble is to be condemned. We stand by the copy-book precepts. Yet it is only honest to confess that there is something of this young American's love for chances in most of us. American life is still so fluid, the range of opportunity so great, the national temperament so buoyant, daring and hopeful, that it is easier for an American to try his luck again than to sit down snugly and enjoy what he has. The fun and the excitement of the game are more than the game. Tn ere are Americans and plenty of them who will lose all they have jn some magnificent scheme, and make much less fuss about it than a Paris shopkeeper would over a bad twenty-franc piece. "Our disabled young Croesus from the West is a luminous specimen of the type. The country would be less interesting without his kind, and, on the whole, less healthy for they provide one of the needed ferments. May the young man make another fortune in his own far West and come once more to rattle the dry bones of our Bourse!" "He'll be too much stuck on Montana by the time he gets that fortune," 'observed Uncle Peter. "I will that, Uncle Peter. Still it's pleasant to know we've won their good opinion." "Excuse me fur swearin', Marthy," said Uncle Peter, turning to Mrs. Bines, "but he can win a better opinion than that in Montana fur a damn sight less money." That editor is right," said Mrs. Bines, "what he says about American life being fluid.' There's altogether too much drinking goes on here, and I'm glad my son quit it." Percival saw them to the train. -"Take care of yourself," said Uncle Peter at parting. "You know I ain't any good any more, and you got a whole family, includin an Englishman, dependin on you we'll throw him on the town, though, if he don't take out his first papers the minute I get there." His last shot from th rear platform was: 'Change your name back to 'Pete son, when you get west of Chicago. 'Taln't anything fancy, but it's a crackin' good business name fur a hustler!" "All right, Uncle Peter and I hope I'll have a grandson that thinks as much of it as I do of yours." When they had gone, he went back to the work of final adjustment. He had the help of Coplen, whom they had sent for. With him he was busy for a week. By lucky sales of some of the securities that had been hypothecated they managed to save a little; but, on the whole, it was what Percival described it, "a lovely autopsy." At last the vexatious work was finished, and he was free again. At the end of the final day's work he left the office of Fouts in Wall street, and walked up Broadway. He went slowly, enjoying the freedom from care. It was the afternoon of a day when the first summer heat had been felt, and as he loitered before shop windows or walked slowly through that street where all move quickly and most very hurriedly, a welcome little breeze came up from the bay to fan him and encourage his spirit of leisure. At Union Square, when he would have taken a car to go the remainder of the distance, he saw Shepler, accompanied by Mrs. Van Geist and Miss Milbrey, alight from a victoria and enter a jeweler's. He would have passed on. but Miss Milbrey had seen him, and stood waiting In the doorway while Shepler and Mrs. Van Geist went on Into the store. "Mr. Bines I'm so glad!" She stood, flushed with pleasure, radiant In stuff of filmy pink, with little flecks at her throat and waist of tho first tender green of new leaves. She was unaffectedly delighted to see him. - "You are Miss Spring?" he said, when she had given him her hand "and you've come Into all your mother had that was worth inheriting, haven't your' "Mr. Bines, shall we not see . you now? I wanted so much to talk with you when I heard everything. Would it be impertinent to say I sympathlrsd with you?" He looked over Ltr ehouldcr, la wlicre

readers who do not receive the Sunday Journal.

Shepler and Mrs. Van Geist were Inspecting a tray of jewels. "Of course not impertinent very kindonly I'm really not in need of any sympathy at all. You won't understand it; but we don't care so much for money in the West for the loss of It not so much as you New Yorkers would. Besides we can always make a plenty more." The situation was, emphatically, not as he had so often dreamed it when she should marvel, perhaps regretfully, over his superiority to her husband as a money-maker. His only relief was to belittle the Importance of his loss. "Of course we've lost everything, almost but I've not been a bit downcast about it There's more where it came from, and no end of fun going after it. I'm looking forward to the adventures, I can tell you. And every one will be glad to see me there; they won't think the less of me, I assure you, because I've made a fluke here!" "Surely, Mr. Bines, no one here could think less of you. Indeed, I think more of you. I think it's fine and big to go back with such, courage. Do you know, I wish I were a man I'd show them!" "Really, Miss Milbrey" He looked over her shoulder again, and saw that Shepler was waiting for her. "I think your friends are impatient" "They can wait. Mr. Bines, I wonder if you have quite a correct idea of all New York people." "Probably not; I've met so few, you know." "Well, of course but of those you've met?" "You can't know what my ideas are." I wish we might have talked more I'm sure when are you leaving?" "I shall leave to-morrow." "And we're leaving for the country ourselves. Papa and mamma go to-morrow and, Mr. Bines, I should have liked another talk with you I wish we were dining at tho Oldakers' again." He observed Shepler strolling toward them. ' "I shall be staying with Aunt Cornelia a few days after to-morrow." Shepler came up. "And I shall be leaving to-morrow, Miss Milbrey." , "Ah, Bines, glad to see you!" The accepted lover looked Miss Milbrey over with rather a complacent air with the unruffled confidence of assured possession. Percival fancied there was a look almost of regret in the girl's eyes. "I'm afraid," said Shepler, "your aunt doesn't want to be kept waiting. And she's already in a fever for fear you won't prefer the necklace she insists you ought to prefer." "Tell Aunt Cornelia, please, that I shall be along in just a moment." "She's quite impatient, you know," urged Shepler. Percival extended his hand. "Good-bye, Miss Milbrey. Don't let me detain you. Sorry I shall not see you again." She gave him her hand uncertainly, as if she had still something to say, but could find no words for it. "Good-bye, Mr. Bines." "Good-bye, young man," Shepler shook hands with him cordially, "and the best of luck to you out there. I shall hope to hear good reports from you. And mind, you're to look us up when you're in town again. We shall always be glad to see you. Good-bye!" He led the girl back to the case where the largest diamonds reposed chastely on their couches of royal velvet. Percival smiled as he resumed his walksmiled with all that bitter cynicism which only youth may feel to its full poignance. Yet, heartless as she was, he recalled that while she talked to him he had imprinted an imaginary kiss deliberately upon her full scarlet lips. And now, -too, he was forced to confess that, in spite of his very certain knowledge about her, he would actually prefer to have communicated it through the recognized physical media. He laughed again, more cheerfully "The spring has got a strangle-hold on my judgment," he said to himself. c At dinner that night he had the company of that estimable German savant, the Herr Dr. Von Herzlich. He did not seek to Incur the experience, but the amiable doctor was so effusive and interested that he saw no way of avoiding it gracefully. Returned from his archaeological expedition to Central America, the doctor was now on his way back to Marburg. "I pleasure much in your news," said the cheerful man over his first glass of Rhine wine with the olive in it. "You shall now, if I have misapprehended you not, develop a new strongness of character." Fercival resigned himself to listen. He was not unfamiliar with the lot of one who dines with the learned Von Herzlich. "Now he's off," he said to himself. ' "Ach! It is but now that you shall begin to live. It is not that while you planned the money-amassing you were deferring to live ah, yes until some day when you had so much more? Yes? A common thought-failure it is a common failure of the to-take-thoughtedness of life Its capacities and the intentions of the scheme under which we survive. Ach! So few humans learn that this invitation to live specifies not the hours, like a 5-oclock. It says so well as FatherMother Nature has learned to write the words to our unseeing eyes 'at once.' but we ever put off the living we are invited to at once until to-morrow-next day, next year until this or that be done or won. So now you will find this out. Before, you would have waited for a time that never came no matter the all-money you gathered. "Nor yet, my young friend, shall you take this matter to be of a seriousness, to be sorrow-worthy. If you take of the courage, you shall find the world to smile to your face, and father-mother you. You recall what the English Huxley says Ah! what fine, dear man, the good Huxley he says, yes, in the 'Genealogy of the Beasts,' Tt is a probable hypothesis that what the world is to organisms in general, each organism is to the molecules of which it is composed.' So you laugh at the world, the world It laugh back 'ha! ha! ha!' then soly all your little molecules obediently respond you thrill with the happiness with the power the desirethe capacity you out-go and achieve. Yes? So fret not Ach! we fret so much of what it shall be unwise to fret of. It is funny to fret. Why? Why fret? Yet but the month last, they have excavated at Nippur, from the prc-Sargonic strata, a lady and a gentleman of the House of Ptah. What you say in-New York 'a damned fine old family,' yes. Is it not? I am read their description, and seen of the photographs. They have now the expressions of indifferenceof disinterest without the prejudiceas if they say, 'Ach! those troubles of ours, three thousand eight hundred years in the B. C nearly come to six thousand years before now Ach! those troubles,' says the philosophic-now lady and gentleman, of the House of Ptah of Babylonia 'such a silliness those troubles and frets; it was not the while-worth that we should ever have sorrowed, because the scheme of time and creation is suchly big: had we grasped but its bigness, and the littleness of our span, should we have felt griefs? Nay, nay nit, like the street youths say would say the lady and gentleman now so passionless as to have philosophers become. And you. it should mean to you much. Humans are funniest when they weep and tremble before, like you ray, 'the facts in the case Ha! I laugh to myself at them often when I observe. Their funniness of the beards and eyebrows, the bald head, of the dress, the solemnities of manner, as it were they were persons of weight. Ah, they are of their insignificance so loftily unconscious. Was it not great skill to compel the admiration of the love-worthiest scientist to create a unit of a numberless mass of units and then to enable it to f e'el each one the importance of the whole, as if each part were big as the whole? So you shall not fret I say. "If the fret invade you, you shall do well to lie out in the friendly space, and look at this small top-spinning of a world through the glass that reduces. Yes? You had thought it of such bigness its concerns of a sublime traglcness? Yet see now, these funny little animals on the surface of the spinning ball. How frantic, as If all things were about to eventuate, remembering not that nothing ends. So? Observe the marks of their silliness, their unworthiaess. Yoa have reduced the ball to so big as a melon, yes? Watch the insects run about in the craziness, laughing, crying, loving their loves, hating their hates, fearing, fretting killing one the other in such funny little clothes made for such funny little purpose precisely falling sick over the . money-losings and the ball so small, but one of such many as many stars under the earth, remember, as above it. "So! you are back to earth; you are a human like the rest, so foolish, so funny as any so you say, 'Well, I shall not be more troubled again yet I play the same game, but It is only a game, a little game to last an aftornoou I play my part yes the laughing part, crying part loving, hating, killing part what matter if I say it is good?' If the Makcr,therc be to look down, what joys him most the coward who fears and frets, and the whine makes for fcla caul or body? Ach! no. It la.tha one who cy, it i3 good I could cot .better have Cco Ci'-

I am understood at last good! bright man that like vou say.- also 'bright man that It is of a pleasure to see 1 him do well! ' "So my young friend, you shall pleasure j yourself still much yet. It is of an excellence to pleasure one's self Judiciously. The lotus is a leguminous plant so excellent for the salad not for the roast. You have of the salad overeaten you shall learn of your successful capacity for it you shall do well, then. You have been of the recklrss deportmentyou may still be of it That is not the matter. You shall be reckless as you like but without your stored energy surplus to harm you. Your environment from the now demands of you the faculties you will 'most pleasure yourself in developing, i lou shall produce what you consume. The gods love such. Ach, yes!" CHAPTER XXXVIII SOME PHENOMENA . PECULIAR TO SPRING. He awoke early, refreshed and intensely alive. With the work done he became conscious of a feeling of dlsassociation from the surroundings in which he had so long been at home. Many words of the talkative German were running in his mind from the night before. He was glad the business was off his mind. He would now go the pleasant journey, and think on the way. His trunks were ready for the car; and before he went down stairs his handbag was packed, and the preparations for the start completed. When, after his breakfast, he read the telegram announcing that the car had been delayed twenty-four hours in Chicago, he was bored by the thought that he must pass another day in New York. He was eager now to be off, and the time would hang heavily. i He tried to recall some forgotten detail of the business that might serve to occupy him. But the finishing had been thorough. He ran over In his mind the friends with whom he could spend the time agreeably. He could recall no one he cared to see. He had no longer an interest in the town or its people. He went aimlessly .out on Broadway in the full flood of a spring morning, breathing the fresh air hungrily. It turned his thought to places out of the grime and clam-, or of the city; to woods and fields where he might rest and feel the stimulus of his new plans. He felt aloof and sufficient unto himself. He Swung on to an open car bound north, and watched without interest the early quick-moving workers thronging south on the street, and crowding the cars that passed him. At Forty-second t street he changed to a Boulevard car that took him to the Fort Lee ferry and One-hundred-and-twenty-fifth street. Out on the shining blue river he expanded his lungs to the clean, sweet air. Excursion boats, fluttering gay streamers, worked sturdily up the stream. Little yachts, in fresh-laundered suits of canvas, darted across their bows or slanted in their wakes, looking like white butterflies. The vivid blue of tho sky was flecked with bits of broken fleece, scurrying like tho yachts below. Across the river was a high-towering bank of green Inviting him over its summit to the langorous freshness beyond. Ho walked off the boat on the farther side and climbed a series of steep wooden stairways, past a tiny cataract that foamed its way down to the river. When he reached the top he walked through a stretch of woods and turned off to the right, down a cool shaded road that wound away to the north through the fresh greens cf oak and chestnut He was entranced at once by the royal abandon of spring, this wondrous time of secret beginnings made visible. The old earth was become as a young wife from the arms of an ardent spouse, blushing into new life and beauty for the very joy of love. He breathed the dewy freshness, and presently he wiilstled the "Spring Song" of Mendelssohn, that bubbling, half-joyous, halfplaintive little prayer in melody. He was well into the spirit of the time and place. -His soul sang. The rested muscles of his body and mind craved the resistance of obstacles. He rejoiced. 'He had been wise to leave the city for the fresh, unspoiled countrythe city with all its mean little fears, its petty immoralities and its very trifling great concerns. He did not analyze, more than to remember, once, that the not reticent German would approve his mood. He had sought the soothing quiet with the unfailing instinct of the wounded animal. The mysterious green life in the woods at either 6ide allured him with its furtive pulsing. But he kept to the road and passed on. He was not yet far enough from the town. Some words from a little song rang in his mind as he walked: "The naked boughs into green leaves slipped. The longing buds into flowers tripped. The little hills smiled as if they were glad. The little rills ran as if they were mad. "There was green on the earth and blue in the sky, The chrysalis changed to a butterfly, And our lovers, the honey-bees, all a-hum, To hunt for our hearts began to come." When he came to a village with an electric car clanging through it, he skirted its borders, and struck off through a woodland toward Ihe river. Even the village was too human, too modern, for his early-pagan mood. In the woods he felt that curious thrill of stealth, that impulse to cautious concealment, which survives in man from the remote days when enemies beset his forest ways. Cn a southern hillside he found a dogwood tree with its blossomed firmament of white stars. In low, moist places the violets had sprung through the thatch of leaves and were singing their purple beautics all unheard. Birds were nesting, and squirrels chattered and scolded. Under these more obvious signs and sounds went the steady undertone of life In root and branch and unfurling leaf provoking, inciting, makfng lawless whomsoever it thrilled. He came out of the wood out on to another road that ran not far from the river, and set off again to the north along the beaten track. In an old-fashioned garden in front of a small house a girl bent over a flower bed, working with a trowel. He stopped and looked at her over the palings. She was freshly pretty, with yellow hair blown about her face under the pushed back sunbonnet of blue. The look in her blue eyes was the look of one who had heard echoes; who had awakened with the spring to new life and longings, mysterious and unwelcome, but compelling. She stood up when he spoke; her sleeves were turned prettily back upon her fair round arms. "Yes, the road turns to the left, a bit ahead." She was blushing. "You are planting flower seeds." "Yes; so many flowers were killed by the cold last winter." "I see; there must a lot of them have died here, but their souls didn't go far, did they now?" She went to digging again in the black moist earth. He lingered. The girl worked on, and her blush deepened! He felt a lawless impulse to vault the palings, and carry her off to be a flower for ever in some wooded glade near by. He dismissed it as impracticable. His intentions would probably be misconstrued. "I hope your garden will thrive. It has a pretty pattern to follow." "Thank you!" He raised his hat and passed on, thinking; thinking of all the old dead flowers, and their pretty souls that had gone to bloom in the heaven of the maiden's face. Before the road turned to the left he found a path leading over to the top of the palisade. There on a little rocky shelf, hundreds of feet above the river, he lay a long time iii the spring sun. looking over to the farther shore, where the city cre'pt to the south, and lost Its sharp lines in the smoky distance. There he smoked and gave himself up to the' moment He was glad to be out of that rush. He could see matters more clearly now appraise, values more justly. He was glad of everything that had come. Above all, glad to go back and carry on that big work of his father's his father who had done so much to redeem 'the wilderness and incidentally he would redeem his own manhood. - It will be recalled that th youug man frequently expressed himself with regrettable inelegance; that he habitually availed himrtif, indeed, of a most infelicitous species cf mctcr-h-r.

When ho chose to word his emotions it was still done in a manner to make the right-spoken grieve. Thus, going back toward the road, after reviewing his great plans for the future, he spoke aloud: 1 believe it's going to be a good game." When he became hungry he thought with relief that he would not be compelled to peek one of those 'hurry-up" lunch places with its clamor and crowd. What was the use of all that noise and crowding and piggish hurry? A remark of the German's recurred to him: "It Is a haprv man who ha divined th leisure of eten..iy, so ho feels it, like what you say, in his bones.' " When he came out on the road again he thought regretfully of the pretty girl and her flower bed. He would have liked to g back and suggest that she sing to the peed as she put them to tdeep in their earth cradle, to make their awakening mor-j beautiful. But he turned down the road that led away from the girl, and when -he came ti a "wheelman's rest," he ate many sandwiches and drank much milk. The face of the maid that srrved him had been no heaven for the souls of dead flowers. Still she was a girl; and no girl could b wholly without importance on such a day. So he thought the things he would have said to her if matters had been different. When he had eaten, he loafed off again down the road. Through the long afternoon he walked and lazed, turning into strang3 lanes and by-roads, resting on grassy banks and looking far up. He followed Dr. Von Herzlich' direction?, and, going off Into space, reduced the earth, watching its little continents and oceans roll toward him, and viewing the antics of its qucr inhabitants in fancy as he had often in fact viewed a populous little ant hil, with Its busy, serious citizens. Then he would venture still farther away out into timeless space, yond even the starry refuse of creation, an I insolently regard the universe as a tiny cloud of dust. When the shadows stretched In the dusky languor of the spring evening, he began b take his bearings for the return. II heard the hum and clang off through a chestnut grove. The sound disturbed him, brlngiug premonitions of the city's unrest. He determined to stay out for the night. It was rest ful his car would not arrive until late tha next afternoon there was no reason why he should not. He found a little wayside ho--tel whose weather-beaten sign was ancient enough to promise "entertainment for man and beast." "Just what I want," he declared. "I'm both of them man and bvast." Together they ate tirelessly of young chickens broiled, and a green alad. and a, wonderful pie, with a bottle of claret that haI stood back of the dingy little bar to long that it had attained, at least as to Its label, a very fair antiquity. This time the girl was pretty aain, and. he at once discovered, not indisposed to light conversation. Yet he was a shallow creature, with little miad foi tho subtler things of life and the springtime. He decided she was much better to look at than to talk to. With a Just appreciation of her own charms she apjearcd to jmiso irrp'tually before an imaginary mirror, regaling him and herself with new posture., to.ir. her brown head, curving hr supple wai.-t, exploiting her thousand coquetries. He w.-.s pained to note, moreover, that fh' w.s m . than conscious of the red-checked youth who came in from the carriage shed, hi.-t-lins. When the man and th beast had been appeased they sat out under a blossomed apple tree and smoked together In a lino spirit of amity. He was not amazed when. In the gloom, he saw the red-cheeked youth with io:h arms about the girl nor was he shocked at detecting instantly that her struggles wer meant to be futile against hrr assailant's might. The blrd3 were mating, life was forward and nature loves to be democratically lavish with her choicest secrets. Why not, then, the blooming, full curved kitchen maid and the red-cheeked boy-of-all-work? He smoked and saw the night fall. Th. dulled bronze Jar.gle of cowbells cam soothingly to him. An owl called a little way off. Swallows flashed by in long graceful flights. A bat circled near. Indecisively, as if with a message it hesitated to give. One he heard the Rute-like warble of a skylark. He was under the clean, shar stars of a moonless night. His keen senses tasted th pungent smoke and the softer feminin fragrance of the apple blossoms. His nervci were stilled to pleasant ease, except when the laugh of the girl floated to him from il - grape arbor back of the house. That disturbed him to tierce long tusrs the iler.r. high measure of a woman's l.iugh f!jatir.;r to him in the night. And once s V sang som song common to her class. It moved 1dm ns her laugh did, making him vibrate in her, as when a practiced hand flutters th-j strings of a harp. He was glad without knowing why wheu she stopped. At 10 o'clock he went in from unW th peering little stars and fell asleep in an ancient four-poster. He dreamed that he ha 2 the world, a football, clasped t his I r ;ist. and was running down the fi -ld for a guii of a hundred yards.
