THE BEST OF ALL
IN ALL THINGS AT ALL TIMES.
There are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among them all there must
be one BEST. THE BEST is THE EQUITABLE. If you wish to know why, send for:
i, the report of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York on the examination
of The Equitable; 2, for actual results of maturing policies; 3, for statement of death claims
paid in 1894. Then you will know the three great reasons of The Equitable's supremacy: 1st,
its financial stability; 2d, its great profits and advantages to living policy-holders; 3d, the prompt
ness of its payments and liberality of its settlements.

CHAPTER IV.-CONTINrED.
That was gratifying. Unit as far as
he could permit him to go In a first In-ten-view,
and ft Is questionable If he
could have realized how far tt seemwi
to h-sr expectant senses. She arose,
smHins antl saying lightly, "Your
friend would not allow anybody to for
get you; they were so .constantly specu
lating upon what had 160001 of you."
But, a j .they walked slowly toward
where Amy and Ross were siting, at
the ot'her end of the room, she stopped
and said earnestly: "I Want to apolo
gize for .listening to What you atd that
day. It was rude of me to do so, but
you were so clone and spoke so clearly
flhat I could not Wp hearing you."
"You liave nothing to apologize for.
I am glad you tu&rd me, if It helped
you to remember me."
"I think It did," she replied laugh
ingly. "And did you never miss that
money?"
"Not once. I went to work the next
day and have, ever since, earned all I
required. It ta surprising how littlo a
man reaHy neeeds."
. "Have you heard anything lately
about the suit?" asked Itoss, as they
approached him.
"Yes," answered Jack. "Court of
Appeals next term, my lawyer says."
"Do you feed anxious?"
'Wo. "Why Should I? (Even If they
fake the estate, they oa.Ti.not take me."
"And if you -win, what will you do?
loom out as a. leader of society?"
"No. 'Mawter of an Iron works."
"What! Even if you don't need to
make money any more?"
"A man needs useful occupation
more than money."
"I am sorry to hear you say so. You
evidently forget the pious maxim that
Satan finds some mischief still for busy
hands to do."
"I should think." remarked Con
stance, "you -would wish to get away
from a class of men1 capable of assas
sinating those they do not happen to
like."
"Only a few of the men are bad. and
hey are so only through ignorance.
Mem who have? the courage to toll hon
estly, far a livelihood, are Inherently
capable of noble deeds, and only do
base ones through lack of moral and
social development."

"The chaps who tried to blow you
up must .have lucked a good deal,"
commented Koss.
"Yes, but they were only tools. The
woit scoundrel in that bad affair was
one Who did no honest work, Janovflcs,
and by the time 'he conies out of state
prison, working men, 1 hope, will have
grown mentally and morally beyond
his influence."
The evening was a very pleasant one,
and when Jack, on reaching home, set
his '11 title- alarm rjock to arouse him at
daybreak he Said to .himself dellbtir
ately: "When I am an iron-master, I
eh akl make that girl Mrs. Burroughs."
VI.
Summer's heats had come, yet Con
stance would not make up her mind
where sfhe would go, out of town.
"I don't care a last year's bird's nest
said Aunt Keturah, "where we go, so
"Pack Up and Let I s Bo off."
long as it isn't everywhere and we get
off before snowstorms make travelling
bad."
Amy Thorpe declared, "I Just won't
go anywhere without you this summer,
Constance, and if I die from staying
In town, you .will be retcponsiiMe, mor
ally at least. So .pack up ami let us be
off to Bar Harbor at one."
"Where do you suppose Mr. Bur
roughs Intends to spend his vacation?"
replied ' Oonstam.ee inronscquently.
"Don't you think Stoss could find oult?"
Ross tried and his report was far from
encouraging. "Jack says he Is not
going anywhere; that taibor Is allowed
only one vacation, the long one that
comes after everything else."
"Heavens!" exclaimed Amy; "what a
pessimistic mood tie must be In. Thalt
is the effect of .flhe weather already."
"Yen," assented Rocs, looking very
seriously at Constance, "scientists re
cognise that continuous exposure to
e temperature from eighty .to nlndty
degrees provoke melancholy and from
ninety-five up, espeoially with hu
midity, incites to murder. John ought
to be carefully watched tfhls summer.
The girls looked alarmed particular
ly Constance, thodgh she mid least.
"I know," continued' IRossf, "of
watering p.ce neither of you Is ac
quainted wH'h; the blggpst and Jdlllest,
and 'best in the land; where the amuse
ment a.re most diversified, the luxu
ries unbounded, the Inconveniences
fewest, the extortions least, and within
eay reach of Jack t'
"Where hi t? fWhere Is Itr they
cried, Interrupting him. .
"Right here. Now York," he affirmed,
With an ir of oonfldeooe. ,
lAnd when he gave them a vagus out
line of what they 'had, all their lives,
turned their backs upon and nifcssed,
they mkl, "This summer we will hike
It all In and Jack shall be our excuse."
Jack was shy at first. He was sensi
tive about being seen, recognized and
claimed by old-time acquaintances be
fore he had conquered the position at
which he aimed, and he had got quite
out of the way of holiday-making. But
when Ross assured ihlm that none of
their old set were in town and hinted
that Constance expected his company
had even, perhaps, remained in the city
on his account he resisted no longer.
And soon It became- a regular habit for
him, 'when work stopped at noon, on
Saturdays, to chnngehls clothes at the
foundry and go directly to keep an ap
pointment with Ross and the girls.
Merry times they had at Manhattan
Beach, Iong Branch, Coney Island,
Rockaway, Olen Island and some other
popular resort. The scenes presented
to them had all the charm of novelty
for Constance and Amy, and was sufll
elenfly varied to retain their Interest,
liven Soutih Reach, Fort "Leo and Bow
ery Bay were visited, once each, but
Amy declared that was as near "slum
ming" as fhe cared to go, and ns much
of it as she could ptand, so thereafter
Ross whose experiences were thor
ough knfw Just where to draw the
line." Altogether they passed a very
Jolly summer and, for two at least of
the quartette, It was also a very happy
one.
In October, the court of appeals re
versed the decision of the lower court In
the case Involving the Hurrough's es
tate, blighting utterly the hopes of the
rascally conspirators and making Jack
a rich man again. On the same day
that this Intelligence reashed him, he
made a formal proposition to the pro
prietors of the Vulcan -works, to buy
a large Interest In their business, which
they took under ad vlsement. Not until
the matter was decided would Jack say
anything to his friends about his
changed fortune, or essay what he had
determined should be the next number
on his programme.
Even after Its teel frame has been
erected, a long time Is required for the
linlshlng of one of the monster modern
ofllee buildings. The skeleton .must be
clothed with stone. Its Interior divided
by (ire and sound proof floors and par
titions. Its 'hall-ways wa'lnscotted with
costly polished marbles, and a world of
Intricate appliances for lighting, heat
ing, ventilating, etc., put In place. It
was deemed a marvel of expedition,
when the great building Jack worked
on In the spring had been brought to
completion by November. Its proprie
tors, Justly proud of their handsome edi
fice, resolved to signalize the event,
and at the same time make a most
effective announcement of their readi
ness to accommodate tenants, by giv
ing such a 'houne-warming" as had
never been seen 1n New York. Their In
vitations were sent out broadcast, to
"society" people, bankers, merchants,
speculators. Investors, everybody in
fact sufficiently prominent to 'be thought
of, and, In a kindly spirit of old-fashioned
fraternity unfortunately much
rarer now Vhan tt used to be to all
the men who had been conspicuously en
gaged, even In' subordinate capacities,
In the actual erection and completion
of the bundling. Demociatlo as this
comprehensive In-gathering was, 1t pro
duced one of the moat brilliant and
notable events of the season.
For that night, the big building dedi
cated to the Merit- praotdcail'ltles of
business life, was transformed .to a
fairy-land palace. Rooms, halls and
stairways were tastefully decorated
with flowers, evergreens and bunting;
electric lights flooded the scene with
Illumination more Intense than sun
shine and the air was tropical with
warmth and perfume, A full military
band on the first floor and a "reed
and string" orchestra on fhe seventh,
supplied music for what was either one
enormous nine teen- tory bait, or some
forty dilstfnct balls in the many sites
of large apartments, according aa one
chose to regard It. -,
John Burroughs was among the guests
and In a very happy mood, for that af
ternoon, the paper had been Igned
making htm one of the proprietor of
the great Vulcan Works, and tin time
had com for h realization of another
cherished purpose. He found Con
stance, with the Thorpes, and, being
full of his Intent, almost immediately
proposed that she should accompany
him to the dome, for a view of the city
by nig'ht from that grand elevation. The
girls exchanged glances, for both in
stinctively divined his real purpose, be
trayed to their keen perceptions by his
impetuosity und u little nervousness of
Search-Light on the l.ovcrs.
which ho himself was not aware. Cer
tainly, Constance would accompany
him, and she asked Amy to go along,
which that astute young woman de
clined, saying she preferred to dance,
and when Ross manifested an Inoppor
tune desire to have a look from the
dome with them, she gave his arm
such a meaning pinch that he quickly
changed his mind.
From the twentieth story, where a
grand 'banquet was being set out, Con
stance anil Jack ascended throe flights
of stairs, to theupperfloorof the dome.
There they stepped out upon a narrow
balcony which, masked by aibreast-hlgh
facing of ornamental Iron-work, ran
around the structure. The snow-clad
city, sparkling with Its myriad lights
and overhung by a radiant golden can
opy, was Indeed a fair sight to we and
thoy stood for a few moments as If spell
bound 'by its beauty. But John Bur
roughs 'had not come up there to ad
mire scenery.
"Constance," he said, "I have brought
you up here nominally to see, but
really to 'hear For some time, in fact
ever since I have known you, I have felt
that the happiness of my life depended
upon my making you my wife. Of
course. I said nothing to you of , my
love so long as my position was Inter
mediate and my future doubtful. Those
conditions exist .no longer. The foundry-foreman
ha become an Iron
master. And now I am able to say to
you, Constance, 1 love you, wjth my
whole heart and soul, and I want you
to 'be my wife. Will you ?
"Yes; very willingly," she replied,
meeting his ardent gaze with a look
eloquent of affection. T
He drew her to him In a fond embrace,
and kissed her.
At that Instant, from the dome of a
distant newspaper building, the vast
white beam of an electric search light
-was flashed full upon the lovers. The
pretty tableau they presented lasted
but a second, for Constance, with a
cream and Jack with an ejaculation
that was not a blessing vanished into
the dome.
