•Copyright. AH rights referred] CHAPTER Antony Blake left the office

& 0. a good deal disappointed. He was hiniwlf a shrewd and intelligent fellow. He had secured the patents on his new invention, and was ready to proceed with the manufacture. He had carried,the ""papers, the drawings, his model machine to Xinmrill & Co., and they had them in consideration. They now offered him $£100 for the whole thing if he would turn it all over to them. He had proposed on" and another scheme by which he should

This was not his first experience in such business. He knew by this time that the people who bring things before the public, be they inventions, be they books or be they ideas, generally expect to be well paid for (loin# so, and he knew that the system of co-operation, which people are hoping for and praying for, was by no means yet established. With some bitterness of feeling, it must be confessed, though he was a good natural fellow enough, he walked down the street of Tamworth considering whether he would take the §800 and be done with it, or whether he would go to Pittsburg and see if there were better chances there.

Antony Bluke did not believe in debt, and he know how to live on a very little money, but for all that ho had very littla» money in store, and he certainly did not have the $10,000 which would be necessary for him if ho were to equip a little machine shop of his own and make his own automatic car coupler. But, as it happened, he was a person well esteemed in the whole community of Tamworth, as he deserved to Ix*. 1 should like to know, however, how much of this esteem he owed to one queer circumstance. While he had to start in life with absolutely no property it happened that he did hold as trustee for his mother some bonds which he considered worthies in the second issue of the Cattaraugus and Opelousas railroad. These bonds lmd long since been taken off all Ihtto known to brokers, and it was long since any coupons had been paid. Still the Cattaraugus and Opelousas existed, and there were sanguine 'people, ainonir whom his mother was one, who supporffi that at some time payment would ivhuukhI. Antony, being her trustee, had to keep these bond.-) somewhere, and It* h:ul Ikv ii notified by legal advisers that he must keep them in one of the security vaults which are now established in all the considerable cities. Ho had hired a modest safe at the Amicable of Tamworth. and at the Amicable you have the facilities of a charming reading room, where are all the new magazines, where you can wash your hands if you need, yon can make an appointment with a friend, yon can write a note on the Amicable's paper.

These facilities are thrown open to you because you have hired, perhaps for only $10 a year, a safe in that bank. Antony had found that hero was by far the best club room in Tamworth. In that city they have what is known as the "Strangers' Rest" well developed you can go in and pay ten cents an hour for all the comforts of a club room, and then go out again. But Antony found that, in the long ran, $10 a year was cheaper for him than the Strangers' Rest at ten cents an horn", and what I should like to know is whether his standing in that community hail not materially risen since the old dons and widows and railroad trustees aud oth^r such persons who hud their safes there found that he was one of the habitues of the reafling room of the Amicable,

He suspected himself that it gave him these advantages, and he was careful not to presume on them. He took care not to sit there writing letters in times when a business man would be at his counting room: ha only looked in there at the hours when the most prominent of the dons were there he took care not to appear to regard it as the only loafing place which he had. In proportion as he was cautions in these regards the dons began to respect him as one of themselves that is to say, as a person who did not have to work very hard for his money, and who had in the chamber adjacent the secrets by which a quarterly revenue comes to the initiated without much cracking of their finger nails or griming of their hands.

On this particular morning Antony was obliged to break his rale. It was just the hour when he should not ordinarily have gone to the Amicable. It tras seldom indeed that he had any occasion to look at his mother's bonds in liis safe, for they were as worthless one month as they were another. Bat to preserve the respectabilities of the place it had been his habit to haw his safe opened for Mm ouce a quarter—about the 1st of May, August and the corresponding quarters—which he Jbsenred to bo "coupon quarters" for soma very distinguished dons.

He would mire into one of the tittle cells provided for the occasion, open his box and then carry it Kick that it might be deposited in his sate again. The last time that htv Siad done this Ant« had placed two fifty dollar hills in hisJetia boot to guard himself frvoa spending them. He knew that he should fcaro enough money for Jus current expenses besides, and he had not cared to make a permanent investment of OiUis&m. Bat if be were to gv» Pittsburg he meat bare thewe two iiftkw in his pocket, and be -walked dtvtt-n to the Amicable, trave the nttmhet of" his safe aai his toBsa

into business as a partner

-with them. These had been referred by the managing partner to the Mr. Jorkins behind the scene, who was an imaginary person created for the purpose of saying no when the managing partner was ashamed to. Practically all thesc-^hemra had been refused, and Antony was now to take the $800 or nothing.

CHAPTER IL

It is possible that there are oae or two of the humbler readers of this little story who are not acquainted with the careful machinery of a security safe company, and as the story hinges on that machinery it may be well to explain it. Yon see you are to have the double combination, patent, absolute security that is given to the largest corooration ip the world—say the Rank of England—and at the same time you who are as poor as Antony Blake was are to have your own little separate cell in which your own property is kept, and nobody else in the world may interfere with it. All this is arranged by a very ingenious system of policemen, attentive clerks, doorkeepers, gilt pickets of iron, iron floors below and above, so that fire cannot burn your securities nor water drown them, nor thieves break in nor rust corrupt them.

The most honorable and virtuous warders are selected by the most ingenious and highly approved competitive examinations. You present yourself at the gate and you are personally known to the warder, who speaks to you cordially and opens the gate to yon, as he would uot do if you were one of those unknown loafers who hare no safe in the security vault.

You pass through this prison gate joyfully, for you know it is no prison to yon. You tell him that the day is fine, or that it is rainy, as it may happen, and pass on till you come to another gate and another warder. You tell him that it is fine, or that it is rainy, as before. He also calls you by name, and says that you are looking well, and you enter a second passage,. This passage is provided with little catacombs or columbaria, precisely like {hose under or near the city of Rome, except that these are much smaller, and that those catacombs have now no doors, but in the security vaults each catacomb has a little iron door, and these doors

JUT*

numbered.

You remember by mnemonic processes known to yourself what is the number of yours the number of Antony's was 4,937. You meet in this passage a smiling, gentlemanly friend, who also calls you by name, expresses his hope that you are well, and tells you what the weather is. You also tell him. These are not passwords, but they are the civilities of the occasion.. You then mention to him, in a whisper if you please, the numler of your box. Ho affects to remember—does remember, perhaps— and with his key adjusts the lock of your catacomb. But please to observe he cannot open the catacomb, because ho has not your key. Your key has been given to you long sinco when you hired your catacomb. You then open the catacomb with your key, which you cannot do till ho has first turned his key in the lock. In tho catacomb you find a long, narrow tin box, unless you should be a very great don. In that case you have a largo catacomb and you have a large tin box. But Antony was a very little don, as the reader knows, and he had therefore a box long enough for any coupon bond, but not large enough to contain many.

He drew out his box, thanked the courteous attendant, passed warder No. 3 again, who asked him if all was right, and then in the passage between Nos. 1 and 2 selected a little room, like that in which you eat oysters in restaurants of some cities, when it is supposed that you are ashamed to eat oysters and wish to have a separate cell assigned for the purpose. You go into this cell, which you find lighted. There is a little table for you, with a pen and ink and blotting paper and a pair of large scissors. These scissors are there that you may cut off the coupons from your bonds.

Observe with admiration that both the requirements which have been referred to are fulfilled. Yon are hero as lonely as Robinson Crusoe waa before Friday came. All your wealth is in your hands you can do with it what you choose. A minute before this wealth was in a safe which nobody excepting you could open, and a minute hence it will be in that safe again.

On this occasion Antony Blake found some difficulty in opening his *ox. His key seemed to be out of order, but being an ingenious person it happened that ho had a little skeleton key with him, and with this he threw open the lock of the box. He saw in a moment that it waa not his box. The securities in it were thoao of the C., K. and W.. C., B. and Q., B., C. and D.—securities, many of them, absolutely

Mgilt

edged" in the

market of the moment. There were one or two United States bonds, and, in short, if a good fairy had touched his mother's bonds and changed them into bonds of the very beat she could not have done better for him than had been done here.

Antony Blake was amazed and dazed. He lifted the bonds out one after another to see by what process of evolution the Cattaraugus and Opelousas had been thus changed, and with a vague feeling that he should find his two fifty dollar notes at the bottom. The fifty dollar notes were not th:re, but there was a little parcel of five or six manuscript notes tied up with a white ribbon. Antony had no disposition to get at other people's secrets, but he did want to know how these things came into his box, and be looked at their addresses, as he could do without opening them. Three were to Evelyn Haddam. Three were to Fergus MacIntire. Antony had never heard of either of these people. The letters were numbered and the date of each was written on the envelope. Antony observed that the last two were written on the same day, May 29. "It is a romance, I think," mid he, and be thought to because of the ribbon. But clearly the most curious thing in the romance was that the letters were in his box. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

Mr. Crump—short, puffy and very glossy with pomade and finest broadcloth, and resplendent with beaming face, patent leather boots, diamond rings and ruby and diamond scarf pin—touched an electric bell which summoned a clerk into his august presence.

Send mo tho shorthand clerk," he said. There was a knock at the door, and the shorthand writer entered. "Sit down, Brown, and write as I dictate," said Cramp, of Crump & Crushit, Ladies' tailors aud outfitters to H. R. H. the Princess of Wales, etc., etc., New Bond street, W.:

MADAM—Mr. Crump begs me respectfully to inform you that, as ho has upon his books very many pretty and solvent ladies moving in tho best society, who patronize his art and pay their bills, he can enter into no engagement to provide your ladyship with costumes for the season. Nevertheless, if your ladyship would like to call upon Mr. Crump at 11 a. m. on Monday next, which hour will be convenient to him, ho will see if he thinks it would bo of any service to tho firm to come to any arrangement with your ladyship "I remain, madam, "Yours respectfully, "pro CRUMP & CRUSHIT."

Lady Charlotte Craddock was only 26 years of age. and had enjoyed the reputation of being a fashionable beauty for soven years. The fourth of Lord Eglinton's seven unmarried daughters, seeing no chanco of over tasting the joys of a season in town while her three elder sisters remained still unmarried, and feeling that as her years already numbered 18, she would be passeo and "quite too frightfully ekleriv" before it could possibly be her turn to be presented, she made tho most of her opportunies at afternoon tea during tho autumn, so that before tho end of tho shooting season Col. Sir Algernon Craddock had formally asked for her hand and had been accepted as son-in-law by Lord and Lady Eglinton, who congratulated themselves upon having been able to establish a daughter so well without any of tho expenses of presentation or season in London.

Lady Charlotte Craddock was presented upon her marriage, and immediately took a foremost place among thatseason's belles.

In the autumn her husband's regiment was ordered to Fizabad, an Indian station in the province of Oude. As a dutiful wife, Lady Charlotte accompanied her husband to India: but as she found life unendurable in the station, she soon formed tho opinion that the heat was injurious to her health, and discovered that her constitution had already suffered severely from tho trying effects of the climate, and that it was absolutely necessary for her to fly to tho hills for the benefit of her health. There the purer air. heavily charged with the flirtation which ever flourishes in Indian hill stations, apparently had a very beneficial, though not lasting, effect upon her health for it seemed to be necessary that Lady Charlotte Craddock should spend the greater portion of the year at Tucoori, or the Happy Vale, where her solitude was relieved by the society and attentions of Mr. Loftus Brackenbury, a young cavalry officer, who was able to enjoy invalid leave with sufficient health and spirits to inaugurate a flirtation with the belle of the station, and to waits at every informal dance, of which there aro always many in hill stations, hastily arranged with a view to beguiling the wearir of kmc married women whose husband are away in the plains. At these Uttledances, it soon became a matter of course for Mr. Brackcnbury and Lady Charlotte to waltz together through a very lsrrs percentage of the programme and if ring Imst etay in India love letters and keepsakes crept mysteriously into Lady Charlotte's v.- V. case, I:, fH*rh husband was sa a~,i to care so little that it really served him right. So said Lady Char-j in answer to

TERRE HAUTE DAILY NEWS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1890.

By FRAN PES SEL0US. f|§

ADY CHARLOTTE CRADDOCK presents her compliments to Messrs. Crump & Crushit. "Her ladyship incloses her photograph, as she is 'j desirous of pointing out to Messrs. a

Crushit the fact that she possesses a remarkably fine

figure and elegant appearance, being, in fact-, known as a 'fashionable beauty,' and would therefore at any time be a very good advertisement for any really stylish milliner or tailor. Owing to the extreme depression in the value of land which has naturally resulted in the diminution of the incomes of the nobility and aristocracy, Lady Charlotte Craddock proposes that Messrs. Crump & Crushit should make an arrangement to provide her ladyship with costumes for the rest of the season, her ladyship's recommendations in the very best society to be considered in lieu of other or pecuniary remuneration. Lady Charlotte Chaddock incloses half a dozen cards of invitation for one week, that Messrs. Crump & Crushit may feel assured that all recommendations wi!l bo in the very best quarters. Periiapj Messrs. Crump & Crusliit will be interested in knowing that Mmc. Sidonie supplied her ladyship, on the same conditions, with a court dress for the first drawing room, this season, and that the dress was described in Fh'tion, The Spheres, and, in fact, in :.ll smartest journals, and that Sidm.ie received nearly a dozen orders for the next drawing room in consequent of the descriptions already mentioned of Lady Charlotte's appearance."

and novel

Charlotte left the station in which his wife had spent BO many dreary days, and in whose adjacent station had occurred the one small shred of romance that ou!d be said to have entered into her life. When she left India, Lady Charlotte bewailed her separation from the one man she had ever loved. It had been delightful to her to arrange stolen interviews and preconcerted meetings that should appear unexpected and the excitement consequent on the acting necessitated by such enterprises gave to the attainment of her end a zest and an intoxication viiiich she enjoyed to the uttermost.

Lady Charlotte Craddock tried to lessen the hardship of separation by correspondence. A bomb launched by a discharged maid in the shape of an anonymous letter inclosing a few specimens of this correspondence informed Sir Algernon that his beautiful wife had deceived him. He promptly altered his will and instituted proceedings fr divorce but he met his death in the hunting field before Sir James Hannen could hear the case that iqight have furnished the papers with so many sensational paragraphs and 60 much matter for witty comment and might have afforded the middle and lower middle classes, through the medium of those papers, a short insight into the ways and manners of the upper classes, and regaled their curiosity with tho refined and elegant phraseology and the purity of diction which from time to time delight the curious commonalty who read the reports of divorces in high life.

Before she was 25, Lady Charlotte Craddock, in a tulle head dress which sot the fashion in widows' caps for some years, bewailed tho loss of her husband and the property whicl\hohad left, with the exception of her very modest settlement, to the distant cousin who succeeded to his baronetcy.

Unwilling to return to her father's house and play second fiddle to her unmarried sisters, Lady Charlotte resolved to content herself with a very small establishment in Mayfair. A tiny house squeezed into a corner near the park and elbowing a mews swallowed up over £200 a year, leaving a balance of £400, and credit, with which to maintain the small establishment, half brougham victoria, wondrous dresses and bonnets, etc., etc. Of course, this style of living must lead to debt and difficulty but Lady Charlotte, whose portrait had been three times in the Grosvenor, and whose appearance was continually being commented upon in society papers and fashion magazines, relied upon making a good second match before she should have plunged very deeply into debt.

But Fortune had not lately favored Lady Charlotte, insomuch as she had been a widow two years and no eligible match had offei-ed, and she had found it hard to live in accordance with what she considered tho necessities of her rank and position and keep her head above the growing current of debt. It was after contemplating many expediencies that she addressed her somewhat startling proposal to Messrs.

Crump & Crushit.

"Insolent wretch! I wish that I could afford to order a dress and pay for it, that I might let tho creature know his proper place, and not allow him to make an appointment to suit his own odious convenience." So thought Lady Charlotte, but, nevertheless, she wrote a dainty little note to express herself willing to grant Mr. Crump an interview at the. hour he mentioned.

Before seeing Lady Charlotte Craddock Mr. Crump had been careful to obtain ample renseignements upon the subject of her social position and reputation. His head buyer, as a man much about town and likely to hear all the on dits in high life, had been instructed to find out what he could about her. His inquiries resulted in the unanimous verdict "that there was no doubt about it she was A 1 had been on the prince's drag at Sandown last autumn had worn a thirty-five guinea dress from Redfenvs for tho occasion: hadn't paid for it didn't mean to. Didn't seem to pay for anything, and yet seemed to live pretty comfortableFrench cook, etc. Was supposed to have gone the pace in India, so was cut off with a shilling by her husband, who had been dead two years."

Armed with these facts. Mr. Crump was able to receive Lady Charlotte with an easy affability and cool familiarity with her circumstances that made her writhe, although ladies of her class who talk of "being in blue funks," and "cheeking servant maids" cannot be supposed to possess a very great amount of sensibility or delicacy of feeling.

Mr. Crump offered his lovely guest an easy chair, and sat down in another himself with the air of being quite ready for a chat with an old and valued friend. In one hand he held a popular social journal in the other he held tho packet of invitation cards which Lady Charlotte bad sent him.

Mr. Crump threw down the cards one after the other. "All these are well enough in their way, but they wouldn't help us. One of my men tells me that you were on the prince's drag at Sandown.

A MAN OF ENTERPRISE.

Had Wl felbarrows tor Sale, bat MOiiln't Sell On® There. "Want to buy a wheelbarrow, madam?" demanded the aggressive looking man at the frontdoor of a dwelling near Jackson park the other day. "What in the world do I want with a wheelbarrow?" said the astonished woman of the house. "Sold twenty-seven in this neighborhood since yesterday morning," he retorted,"and most of them to people who arc among the very best in this part of Chicago." "I don't see why" "Pardon me. You are aware that the World's Columbian expositionis to beheld within half a mile of this house?" "Tes, but what has that" "Pardon me again. You have relatives who will visit you during the exposition. Very good. All of us have. Rich of these relatives, or tho great majority of them, will bring a trunk. The ordinary charge of an expressman for taking a trunk to or from a railway station is twenty-five cents. Owing to the great increase in business that year, or to the probable formation of an expressmen's trust, the charge will be fifty cents. The exposition will last six months. You will have an average of one relative with a trunk for every *veek during all that time, and of course you will have to pay for taking that trunk to aud from your house. Tho relative will protest mildly against your looking after the trunk, but you'll do it. You'll pay $1 for drayage on every trunk that comes to your house and goes away from it while the exposition lasts. That will bring your expenses for that item alone up to $28. "Now mark! The wheelbarrows I am selling will cost only $1.50 each. They are strong, serviceable, light and just the thing for knocking out an extortionate expressmen's trust. All you have to do is to pay a boy ten cents for wheeling the trunk. Cost of wheelbarrow, $1.50. Expense for boy, twenty-six weeks, $2. Total, $4.10. Saving effected by adoption of wheelbarrow plan, $21.90-^enough to buy a good hard coal stove. I'm selling by sample, madam, you understand. I take your order now and deliver in tho spring of 1S93. Expect to sell 10,000 of them beloro that time. James, bring that wheelbarrow inside the gate so the lady can see it." "He needn't do it,"j5aid tho lady. "I don't want it." "I assure you, madam, $1.50 is the very lowest figure at which you can buy tho kind of wheelbarrow I am selling, and if I didn't get ii at a big discount from manufacturer's price on account of the quantity I expect to order I could not" "I don't want it, sir." "Possibly you see no necessity of paying a boy ten cents for each trip. There are boys, I admit, who will do it for five if promised a regular job. Or you may have a boy of your own. In that case you save tho entire ten cents. Total saving effected by wheelbarrow plan" "I have several boys, sir. 1 also have a husband" "Ah?" "Who is in tho expressing business himself. Owns three or four wagons. Expects to make a good thing hauling trunks in 1893." "You ought to have told me this when 1 began, madam," said tho man, as he backed down the steps. "I have wasted enough sound argument and good English on you to have sold three or four of these machines to auy ordinary customer. James, come along with that wheelbarrow over to the next house. Step lively, now, confouud you!"—Chicago Tribune.
