'An 1 entered the Ann Street Bank
building some on touched me on the
arm; tuul 1 turned to face George Stal-btidg-e.
I knew it was StalbrlURe be

voire. 'i'ha creature had art atmos
phere) such as is raid to surround an
evil spirit. If it had been consistent
with my creed, I should have crossed
jnyjtelf when I perceived him.
SHy hatred of him had always been
ciultf) undisguised. I shook off his
hand roughly and would have walked
away, but he detained nie. There wan
a. snaky fascination about the man
which ' had long been included in my
mental catalogue, of his offenses.
"You walk very fast," he said. "I
have'had hard work to overtake you."
".Let me know you're behind trie next
time," said 1, "if you're interested in
my jiedestrainisnu Now. don't detain
in. i nm going upstairs to so Mr.
laVfs, and 1 have no time- to waste
Ukw his evil genius."
"Why do you siieak bo to me?" he
asked, not at till In anger. "Come, let's
)iue it tint toduy, .What have you
ugulnst me?"
"Do you want mo to go over all that
again?" i demanded. "Well, so be it.
There is a new count tn the Indictment
today, and I have a couilnsity to hear
lu.w yon will answer it."
We still stood in the main hall of the
rreat building. It was 11 o'clock in the
forenoon, a busy hour there, and scores
of persons were passing in and out.
"No," said he, reading my thought:
"it won't do to talk here, Let us go
Somewhere else." .
Me pi)t his hand upon my arm again,
In a most friendly fashion, a nit led me
toward the street.
Jt Is positively painful to entertain
for any human being the feeling which
J had for him. The eye of u. strunger
lit upon tis Walking thus together, and
I cowed as oue detected In a. shameful
action. It was not for his reputation,
because that was good, as reputations
go In New York. He was called a flint-i-ate
business man, and truly, for he
succeeded, and that is the recognized
test.
In the old days it was his personal
nppea.rance that set me against him.
lie was tall, thin and high shouldered,
havintf the look of one who had drawn
himself up to the uttermost that he
may trounce down the harder upon
something lying before him. Jlls face
wast bony, and the upper part was u
skin over a skull. He had a most dis
tressing habit of lifting his matted and
seemingly abundant hair with his hand
In such a way as to show that the top
of his head was really unite bald. The
long hair rooted at the back merely lay
upon it in a mass.
On the occasion In question there was
pomethlng to be gained by talking with
this man. and so I stifled my disgust
. tf bint. He had been for many years
the close business associate of my
uncle. Mr. 'William Davis, upon whom
it had been my intention to call when
1 visited the bank building.
"My uncle has read the papers this
morning, I suppose," said I.
Stalbrldge brought his Jaws together
with a snap, and grinned like a skull.
"They uro rather hard upon us," he
said. 'lt is. perhaps, unfortunate that
the negotiations between the Union Sur
face lines and the Twenty-seventh
Street company have been divulged.
The public never understands such
tilings."
"The public understands them per
fectly," I replied, angrily. "The pub
lic knows that the trnion hns got its
grip upon the smaller company and has
squeezed it to death; that every man
who has put a dollar into the Twenty
seventh street road will lose it has
lost it, ir fact and that the .whole

you oft within a year, he will overstep
the mark and disgrace the family name,

"I have no influence," he replied. "1

well that I am really no more than a
confidential clerk."
"I know the contrary." salrl T. "Can
you deny that this whole surface road
conspiracy was devised and executed

"Some matters of detail were. In
deed, left to me," he began; but I inter
rupted him, angrily:
"The truth is not in you!" T cried. "I
know very well what your part In this
has been. ' It Is the last of fifty such
schemes, every one of which "
"Made your uncle richer,"- he said,
breaking in upon me. "He Is now
many times a millionaire."
"I'm not so sure of that." I returned.
"It would interest me a great deal
to know how much of those dishonest
gains stands in his name and how much
In yours. I mistake you most seriously
if you have not taken the lion's share."
"He has been generous with me,"
paid Stalbrldge; "but I am not rich
yet."
"Thera has been one conspicuous In
stance in this city," said I, "In which

twenty years absorbed almost alt his
patron's vast fortune. It my uncle
lives five -years-longer yiiu will have
him at your mercy; and hhv wealth will
lie in the hollow, of your hand."
"Let us hope that he will live much
longer than that," rejoined Stalbrldge,
with unwonted . feeling. "It would be
idle to deny that I hope to protlit by his
continued favor." -
I laughed bitterly. The fact was that
this man was fastened upon my uncle
like a leech, and was bleeding him
royally.
'You expect to bo made president of
the Union, lines now, I suppose," said I,
with a sneer.
"I had thought." he replied, "that Mr.
Davis would give that office to his fu
ture son-in-law. Mr, Walter Norman."
As he spoke he started slightly, as
one who suddenly notes some trivial
coincidence. He almost stopped. I
wheeled about to face him, and observ
ed that his eyes were raised so that he
looked over my head. There was noth
ing particularly interesting In that di
rection. The elevated railroad struc
ture crossed Vesey street at that point,
and an uptown train was rattling
along. But Stalbrldge was not the sort
of man to stare at so commonplace a
spectacle.
"What's the matter?" I demanded,
sharply.
"Nothing of consequence," he replied.
"I happened to remember something.
Let me see; whut were we speaking
of?"
"Of 'Walter Norman, whom you have
just ruined by this deal," I said." That
Is the most mysterious part of It. I
cannot understand how you persuaded
my uncle to do this thing when Nor
man, as the principal stockholder In the
Twenty-seventh street company, was
sure to be terribly involved, of one
think I -am certain: Norman -had no
suspicion of the way things stood, as
between the- two companies. He- re
lied entirely" ntxm his '.relations! with
my uncle's family to save him." .
"Miss Davis' fortune will be ample
to requite him for any loss he may suf
fer," said Stalbrldge. "Her father
will, of course, deal liberally with her
when she marries. And besides, as I
have already said. I think it is his In
tention to tlx Norman all rtFjlit when
the consolidated stock is issued. I re
peat that I expect to see him president
of the I'nlon."
"That Is an absurd falsehood, I re
torted. "You are trying to drive him
to desperation that you may break off
the match. If it were conceivable that
she would accept you. I should believe
that you had designs upon my cousin's
hand." ,
".She Is a charming woman," said
Stalbrldge. calmly.
1 was anxious to break off the con
versation. My object in talking with
Stalbrldge had already been attained.
I had wished to learn what was going
to happen to Norman In this bad busi
ness of the absorption of his enterprise
by that which my uncle nominally,
but Stalbrldge actually guided. I
knew Stalbrldge's methods so well that
I was able to judge of the truth or
falsity of what he had said about m.v
uncle's Intentions toward Norman. I
HE KNEW MK-T Cori.D READ IT
IN HIS KYKS.
perceived that he hud come as near the
truth as he ever did; that my uncle was
going to make reparation to Norman
unless Stalbrldge succeeded In pre
venting him from doing so. That the
rascal for once distrusted his power
over my uncle and feured that Norman's
Interests would be guarded. 1 could
read in his eyes. It was, then, time
for me to go upon the mission that had
brought me down town; which was to
sue my uncle and plead Gorman's cause.
As a matter of fact, I knew that that
cause needed all my effort. M.v uncle's
consent to the marriage was a thing not
to be depended upon. I had been sur
prised when it hud been dragged out of
him: and I had looked for him to change
his mind at any moment.
I turned about abruptly, find began
to walk back toward the Ann street
bank building. Stalbridge kept by my
side. I could not shake hlni off. We
entered the building together, by the
side door, which Is very little used, as
there Is no elevator In that hall.
My uncle's room was on the third
floor at the rear. The I'nlon lines had
gorgeous offices at the front: my uncle's
room was hidden away. There was no
name on the door. Nobody else but
Stalbridge had a desk there, even the
harmless, necessary typewriter, being
banished.
Stalbridge knocked. That was his
Invariable custom, and it gave me a
had impression of the room, as a place
where secret meetings were held
meetings of two where neither dared
permit a witness to be present. ,
There was no answer to Stalbrldge's
knock. .
"Mr. Davis must have gone out," he
said. "Will you wait for him?"
He drew out bis key and tried to put
It into the lock, but It met an ob
stacle. "There's a key on the Inside." he
whispered, "He must be there, after
all."
At that moment I heard something
fall with a faint ring on the carpet
within, and following that sound there
came a low, sobbing cry, and then a
crash.
Stalbrldge, who, because of his
strange stature, was bending over the
lock, suddenly straightened up. and
turned almost around. He leaned
against the door. I had never seen a
live man's face look as his looked then.
The hound was thoroughly frightened.
I seized the key out of his hand; un
locked the door, and flung it open. As
I did so, a door upon the other side of
the room closed with a snap. This I
perceived mechanically, for my gaze
was riveted upon my uncle.
He was on his knees beside his desk,
his face turned toward me. One hand
clutched the desk for support; the other
was pressed upon his breast.
He knew me I could read It In his
eyes. He tried to speak, but only
gasped; and then fell forward on his
face.
Death proclaimed himself In that
heavy fall. Kven the manner of It was
evident, at least to my eye, which Is not
wholly untrained.
1 knew that my uncle had died of a
wound from a sharp-pointed weapon.
Instantly I knelt by his side and turned
him unon his back. The rush of blood
was dreadful. It came straight from
the heart.
All the world could not help him. My
thought flashed to the murderer, and I
remembered the closing of that door
on the Instant of our entrance. I sprang
toward it; beat it down, and rushed
into the little room beyond.
It was entirely empty. There was no
other door but that by which I had
entered. I ran to an open window, and
looked down a pheer wall to a paved
court.
Mystified I turned back to the large
room where Stalbridge stood staring
down upon the corpse of his benefac
tor. To be continued,

HOP. RHYSVOUNDS AX ALARM
Bravery la Coal Mines to b Awarded
for Heroism Is Keeoameadsd by
historian Charles Wllkias,
of Merthyr.
Principal John Rhys, the master of
Jesus College, Oxford, England, deliv
ered recently the inaugural address to
the members of the newly-founded
Welsh society at Mlddlesborough. Kng
land. taking as his subject the various
phases of Celtic nationality. Dealing
with the modern aspects of the question,
he said that under proper leadership a
people endowed with the elasticity of
the Celts could achieve almost any
thing. Within his own memory much
had been accomplished already. Since,
some quarter of a century ago. he had
the honor of addressing a great Eistedd
fod In Liverpool, a great change for the
better had taken place In Welsh national
feeling and temperature. In those days
It was very common to hear In a cer
tain class of Welshmen's public speeches
a bitter complaint as to the sacrifice It
meant for a man to own himself a Cym
ro. Owing everything to himself to the
accident of his being a Welshman, he
confessed he did not understand the
complaint: still, he had little tloubt as
to the genuineness. Since, however, it
was now seldom heard, he inferred that
the. grievance In the main had disap.
peared, and that Englishmen now treat
ed Welshmen more completely on terms
of equality more than ever before. That
was partly due, perhaps, to the Welsh
people having assumed a holder and
more outspoken attitude, and partly, no
doubt, to the progress made In educa
tion In Wales. Among the surest signs
of Improvement in the tone of Welsh
nationality was the fact that the old
Welsh families now took n pride in be
ing Welsh. That was not always so, and
their inlluence hud. In consequence,
much enfeebled. Education wus a Held
in which the Welsh hud been much en
gaged of late yeurs. At the time to
which he had alluded there were only
two colleges of academic, standing in
Wal.s and one of them was only just
being established. Now they had
doubled the number of colleges and
more than quadrupled the number of
men and women recelvlg education In
them. They had established and were
still establishing Intermediate schools
from which much was expected.
Lately they had been enabled to try
that experiment of a university for
Wales, and they hoped that this also
might prove u great success. They
must all have noticed that parliament
has been of late years much more con
siderate of the claims of Wales than It
used to be, and that without regard to
party or politics. As one of the results
of the educational movements In Wales
some of them who were Interested in
the older universities hoped that the
youth of Wules would be so stimulated
by the blessings of a liberal education
at home that a growing number would
eventually repair to Oxford or Cam
bridge to profit by the culture of those
ancient seats of learning and to com
pete for the positions to which they
were the keys. In this connection he
should like to see a more enterprising
spirit possessing young Welshmen. He
should like to see them competing
more numerously for the good things
of the civil service and pushing their
way to all departments of activity,
whether within the limits of the United
Kingdom, in the colonies, wherever, in
fact, the great Anglo-Celtic empire ex
tends Its influence, and he sincerely
hoped that the Welshmen who suc
ceeded in making their fortunes would
not forget 'Wales, but would remember
It in their pocket.
WHAT WALES WANTS.
Rut somebody asked, "What does
Wales still want?" Want! It wanted
a great many things. He was told the
other day to be less Indefinite; to be
more concrete. Well, he would be ns
concrete as they liked. First of nil,
there was the railway system of Wales.
Hut he had used the wrong word, for
there was no system, and that was one
of their complaints. They wanted to
see the means of communication be
tween North and South Wales im
proved, and they wanted also a system
of light railways. Then tJicy wanted a
national museum, with all the means
of education which that Implied; and a
proper building would soon be needed,
doubtless, us a habitation for the new
university. But the latter was a mere
trifle compared with the want of decent
public buildings and Improved archi
tecture all over Wales. One of the
most open-minded of the Welsh mem
bers, addressing the Welsh undergradu
ates ut Oxford, culled their attention
to the fine architecture around them,
and urged them to tuke note of It, and
to exert their influence in the future
In the villuges of Wales. He hoped that
the member would return to the subject
and give greater publicity to his views
In the deplorable state of the principal
ity us contemplated from the archi
tect's point of view. Nature had done
her best In the romantic scenery with
which Wales was favored. The Jerry
builder had done his worst, and the
capitalist had ranged himself on the
side of the demon of hldeoslty. "Ah,"
said somebody. "You should be careful
how you speak of the capitalist, for he
is like '.he wind that bloweth where it
llsteth." He was disposed, however, to
think that the capitalist was only too
glad to blow wherever his blast was
TAKE STEPS
In time, if you are a suf

gressed so fur as to induce repeated bleed
ings from the lungs, severe lingering cough
with copious expectoration (including tu
bercular niatter), great loss of flesh aud ex
treme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such caws
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread aud fatal disease 1 You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever iu mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have bceu forced to confess that
it surpasses, iu curative power over this
fatal malady, all other niediciues with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its lilthy "emulsions" und
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only gee led to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo
phosphites bad also been faithfully tried
in vain.

those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been

came, he believed, from the weald of
Kent and Sussex. where Iron was known
even to Julius Caesar, and where the
working of it only ceased In the pres
ent century. Why should an Iron
master from Kent come to Glamorgan?
Hlmply because in Glamorgan he could
get fuel cheap and make ample profits.
He rejoiced that he should have come,
but there was no concealing the (act
that he moved to better himself. In
fact, capitalist was Just as much
the subject of economic laws as anyone
else. His complaint was that, while a
struggling land owner had brought it
home to him every day that property
had its obligations as well as Its lights,
the capitalists sometimes practically
escaped the analogous obligations In
his case.
DUTY NEGLECTED.
Consider the colossal fortunes which
had been made, for Instance, at
Merthyr. and Dowlals, and then reflect
what those who had made these for
tunes had done, or rather, not done for
the district. He did not know what
might have been done recently, but
what he saw there some years ago was
miles of street If one could call them
streets consisting of workmen's dwel
lings of a uniform dlnglness, which was
simply appalling. But they must not
underate the skill of some of the build
ers. Ho heard a mass of evldeuce
given to Lord Balfour of Burleigh's
commission as to the art with which
one class of homes had been laid out.
viz.: Certain beer-houses, which had
been so cunningly planned as to baf
tie all effective control on the part of
the police. In that respect the place
was unrivalled, but that only applied
to. public-houses, and when they asked
about the 'public buildings lu? .really

any pretensions, it was Certainly wot
very potent to a stranger what the
capitalist had done for the place or
for the moral elevation of the people,
beyond Inducing a teeming population
to crowd these, and he came away pro
foundly Impressed with the notion that
he had beheld the ugliest spot iu the
British Isles. Whut they wutited to do
wae. not only to teach the capitalists
in Wales the lesson of his obligations
to the district, where his profits were
made, but to see wholesome Ideas -of
architecture put into a taugliule form
all over the Principality, and ta have
something done to cover with decency
the abomination and desolation which
the combined energy of capitalist and
jerry-builder had so widely produced.
This opened up a large vista of reform
of a costly nature, and here was the
opportunity for the generous and
wealthy who wished to prove them
selves at the same time true and disin
terested patriots. Wales, half a cen
tury ago, could have been described as
struggling Wales, and he hud ample
opportunities in his childhood or mak
ing himself Intimately acquainted with
of agricultural depression, things had
so Improved since then that oue now
began to look forward to a. more at
tractive aspect of his native land. It
was his fervent wish that successful
Welshmen, in all parts of the world
would join In an effort to transform
struggling Wales into beautiful Wales
beautiful for the future, not on ac
count of her beautiful natural features.
but also by reason of the smudges of
man s creation having been successful
ly removed by the hand of Industry
guided by sound culture and modern
art.
