10 fTtE SCBANTON TIXIBUNE SATUItDAT . MOBNING. JUfflS, 27 1896. ? Tom's Mode., C By CHARLES Q. D. ROBERTS. C Copyright, 1SW, bj the Bacheller Syndicate. 1 PART I. Tom tore open the leter which had Just been brought to him. It was evidently brief. He read It at a glance, then threw it down on the table with an energetic expletive. 'I beg your pardon" said I politely. Tom pulled vindictively at his bud ding mustache. "I ought to beg mother's pardon," he muttered, "for swearing over her note! But would you believe what she says?" "Certainly," said I. with sweet seri ousness, "1 would take your mother's .word against a million!" "Oh!" he exclaimed, Impatiently. "Tou know I don't mean that. Do shut lip till I tell you!" I threw away the stump of my cigar, clasped my hands, and assumed an atti tude of hungry attention. Tom muttered something about my being an idiot, but hastening to share with me the tidings which liad eo dis turbed him. "My distinguished uncle. Pror. Henry Jerrold, will be here tonight. Mother says we must make it pleasant for him!" "That's a gaudy rrospect!". said I. "What particular species of dry-as-dust Is he to be classified under? Tell me that, and I'll tell you how to manage him." "Oh, I'm aware you know everything. Bob!" was the unkind reply, "but this is too big a problem even for your In tellect. It's too bad, with mother just comfortably out of the way, and the little game all arranged for tonight, and the picnic to the Island so nicely planned for tomorrow. We can't take him in. We can't leave him out. It's too rough altogether!" "But who is?" I persisted. "It may not be as bad aa you fancy!" "He's a professor of mathematics Jn some western college!" said Tom. "A big gun in his way, you know. There are half a dozen of his books over on that shelf next to the fireplace. Fas cinating things on the Calculus, and Burds, and Conic Sections." "Ah!" said I rising languidly and going over to the shelf in question. "Mathematics, I perceive! And very very dusty! Now, my dear boy the case simplifies itself amazingly. Have these books nicely dusted and leave one of them lying on this table beside your own easy chair. This will make him feel at home and please him greatly. Maithmaticlans are, next to scientists and musicians, the vainest of men. Moneover unlike other pro fesors, the professors of mathematics are in a measure human. They all drink whisky usually Scotch. Uet him liave the library here all to himself and with pen, ink paper and whisky he'll be happy all night, till we tell him it's time to go to bed. Mathematicians generally sit up, lost in a problem, till they are told it's bedltlme. We'll have our little game In the breakfast room, and tell him it's whist. Mathematicians approve of whist; but he won't want to play, because he'll understand that the party is made up!" Somewhat fatigued by this eloquent dissertation on mathematicians, I Hung myself down on the broad lounge. As for Tom, he beamed upon me gratefully. "Old man," said he, "you have a statesman's brain. And what about the picnic tomorrow?" " Sufficient unto the day Is the evil thereof,' " sold I, airily, waving aside the problem. "I'll devise some way of escape before the time is upon us!" Tom's normal cheer of countenance i had now returned to him. "Get up, Bob," said he; "let's go down to the club. I want to arrange some thing about the picnic." Now, it would have suited me better to stay on I he lounge and think. I love to spend my mornlngn in luxuriously thinking of what I will do some other morning. It is easy to forget these res olutions when the time for acting upon them threatens to arrive. But this morning Tom was impatient; and, to save argument, which bores me, I went with him. Tom and I were In our senior year at college. I was spending the vacation with him at his mother's summer place In the quaint old village of Stratford, on the Housatonlc Tom's mother, a sweet ly prim and benevolently Puritanical little dame, had run up to Boston for a fey days to see an Invalid sister, and we lli'WVlv., y .sr-SS' hsi i;'W- - . i AT THIS TOM AND I SMILED, WITH , CHEERFUL ANTICIPATION. were now bent on making ripe hay In the unhallowed sunshine of her ab sence. As for Stratford, the aristocrat ic, quiet of her wide, grassy, elm-shadowed avenues was just now much ruf fled by he presence of gay summer vis itors from New Tork. There was a bril liant actress, Adela Clay, in retreat from the persistent homage of an ador ing public. There was a young poeteBS, Who had brought her husband with her to show that the somewhat candid fer vor of hermuse derived its fire from duly-sanctioned sources. There was a ucecRsful humorist, whose look of gloomy abstractedness after the utter ape of a witticism was supposed to be cleverly assumed for the purposes of effect As a matter of fact, it was the result of a stupendous effort to fix the jewel of wit In his mind for future use Without aid of the pencil and note book scrupulously conceeled in his breast pocket. The rest were bright men and women of the world, 'whose fad It was to play on the skirts of a well-groomed and presentable bohemla. tWItlThis circle of friends, Tom and I ' ; s ' . put in a far from dull afternoon. As we returned to the house for dinner nothing was more remote from our minds than the coming of Prof. Henry Jerrold. As we entered the hall, our nostrils were greeted by the smell of an uncom monly good cigar, coming from the library. "Who's smoking, William?' usked Tom, addressing the butler, who came to say dinner was ready. "Tour uncle, sir;" replied Williams. "He was to come on the 6.30; and we forgot to meet him!" With some trepidation, plainly re vealed by Tom, but concealed by me under an air of languid unconcern, we entered the library. A broad-shouldered man with eyj glasses and a dark mustache, dressed In a rough-and- ready suit of Scotch tweed, was smok Ing there very comfortably, his nose burled In a book. He lazily took his feet off the table and rose to greet us. "My nephew, I suppose!" Bald he, stretching out his hand to me. "No, Prof. Jerrold. no such distinc tion for me," said I. "There is the trembling culprit, who should have met you at th train. I am his chum. Bob Sawyer, and very much at your ser vice!" The professor wrung our hands cor dially, und expressed so prompt an in terest in the subject of dinner that we adjourned to the dining-room at once. There, at first, the soup and the salad, the weather, and the professor's jour ney, suppplled us with safe subjects for conversation. Several spots of thin ice. Incautiously approached by Tom, were dexterously skirted by me. and we be gan to feel quite at ease. The professor never alluded to such a thing as a conic section or a logarithm; and perceiving that he was not only reasonable but good natured, I felt that we would have no difficulty in getting him out of the way for the evening. As I lit a cigar after dinner, I sold carelessly: "I saw you smoking, pro fessor, so I presume apology is unneces sary!" "Quite unnecessary, I assure you!" he responded, dryly; and we went back to the library. The professor happened to glance at the well-filled bookshelves. "Oh, Uncle Henry," said Tom, "I hope you won't mind If we have you alone among the books for awhile this even ing. I suppose you'll want to be study lng or writing, and you'll find every thing at hand here for the purpose. Not knowing of your coming till after lunch today, we made up a little rubber of whist for this evening. But we'll play In the breakfast room, and be careful not to disturb you." Tom's uncle smiled slowly. He gazed so long, first at Tom and then at me, that we both began to fear he had grave religious scruples against cards. "I don't think one should be addicted to cards," said I. hastily, " but I don't think there can be any harm in an oc casional quiet game at one's home, you know! Do you?" "Perhaps you are right," lie assent ed, with an air that might have been hesitation. "Then you won't mind If we leave you?" said Tom. His uncle smiled again. "I think," said he, pleasantly, "that I won't work this evening, Tom. In fact, I have done enough during the last few months to feel myself entitled to a loaf. If It's to be whist, of course you have your table made up, so I'll just smoke and look on; and perhaps you won't mind me cutting in for a rubber or two?" "I always understood that mathema ticians approved of whist," said I. But Tom, rather diffidently, hastened to explain. "Well, you see, Uncle Harry," said he, "It Is not whist exactly. We were obliged, in a way, to ask three fellows in; so, as that was too many for whist, we thought we'd have to play er poker you know! But just for fun, you knowl Just a dollar limit you per haps understand!" "I've heard the phrase Bomewhere," confessed the professor. "In fact, I don't mind taking a hand with you. It is an interesting game, light and cheerful; and six is not an Incon venient number, if I remember rightly?" Tom looked at me In some bewilder ment, and I said, promptly: "That will be delightful, sir. If you really think it won't bore you. And Tom and I can give you the main points of the game at once, before the others come." "Oh, thank you," said the professor, but I think I know enougn to scratch along on till I see how to play. If not, I'll pick it up." At xthls Tom and I smiled, with cheerful anticipations. We hau met men before who, having read about the game, thought they knew it, PART II. Presently two of our guests arrived Fred Struthers and Jack Niles. They seemed to get on very easily with the professor, who offered them his line cigars. We soon got out the card table, and began our game in the library, there being no longer any need of fleeing to the breakfast room, as Tom and I had planned. Tom's uncle seemed to understand the use of the little plies of red, white and blue chips which were given him. He drew cards as he saw the rest of us do, and finding them, ap parently, no good, threw them away with an easy air of unconcern, which led me to wink at Tom, as much as to say: "He's learning, that uncle of yours!" And Tom nodded back, which I interpreted to mean: "We'll make something out of him, if he is an old Dry-as-Dust!" In fact after the pro fessor had raked In asmall pot, on a pair of aces. Tom was so well pleased that he could not help saying: "Tou're doing well. Uncle Henry! We'll make a poker player of you yet!" His uncle looked amused, for some reason which I could not fathom. "Tou need not call me "Uncle Henry,' my dear fellow," said he. "Just call me Jerrold; or, as my most Iniimate friends do, Harry!" " 'Uncle Henry' makes you seem too old, eh?" laughed Tom, now quite at ease with the distinguished visitor. "No, my dear boy, but It makes you seem so young!" was the sarcastically drawled reply, at which we all laughed. I began to think that the professor would even do for the ptcnlo on the Island, If he would not take alarm at la belle Adela's somewhat audacious gayety. By and by there occurred a Jack-pot Which went around many times before anyone could open it. It began to as sume attractive proportions. At last Fred Struthers cried: "I'll open It for a dollar! I stayed, with a small pair to draw to. "Professor, up to you!" said I. seeing that he was glancing at his cards with an air of doubt. "Two pairs are not much good, are they, he mused, fingering his chips. Now Tom, as it turned out. had had a pat full dealt to him, and was feeling elated. "Why, uncle er Harry . I often raise on two good pairs!" said he, laughing. "All right, then." said the professor, seeing the opener's bet, and raising it GLANCING AT HIS CARDS WITH AN AIR OF DOUBT. another dollar. Tom promptly saw the raise, and lifted it again. Thereupon Niles, who was the dealer, stayed out, and Struthers cried: "Tou scoundrel, you've got something big, I know," and threw down his hand, showing the openers. I also backed out, of course. The professor hesitated again. "Well, If they were good for a raise before, they're Just as good now!" said he, and raised again. This was what Tom wanted. He raised, and the pro fessor raised back, half a dozen times, till at last Tom thought he wasn't using his uncle quite fairly, and Just saw his last raise. "I don't want to be too hard on a new player!" he laughed, as he threw In the one blue chip. "Thanks, my dear boy!" said the pro fessor, sweetly. "Cards?" inquired Niles, holding out the pack over the table. "One!" said the professor. We all felt sorry for him, "I'll play these!" said Tom. Then the professor bet another dol lar. Tom, of course, raised him the limit; whereupon the professor came back at him again, This went on sev eral times, till I could not help saying: "Don't you see, professor, he must have at least a straight or a flush!" "Tou don't say so!" he exclaimed, with an air of alarm at the same time raising again.. But now Tom, obeying the dictates of politeness called: "I have an ace full!" said he, pleas antly. "Ah!" said the professor, "I threw away an ace myself." "But what have you got?" asked Struthers. "My two pairs I hope th reference did not mislead anyone" said the pro fessor; " happen to be both', of the same kind!" And laying four kings on the table he gathered In the goodly pile of chips. . Tom looked blank, and the rest of us laughed softly. I began to feel, In a vague way, that Tom and I were fools. At this juncture our belated guest ar rivedone Lieut. Storrs, of the United States navy, "Forgive me for being so late, old fel low!" said he, grasping Tom's hand. Then, catching sight of the professor, he spang forward and seized him by both shoulders before he could rise. "Why, Harry, dear old man, who ever thought of seeing you here!" he cried. And the two wrung hands, and bom barded each ther with interjectlonal comment of some minutes. At length, taking his seat, Lieut. Storrs looked at the professor's pile of chips. "At your old tricks. Harry," said he. "Have you been winning that way right along ever since that night in San Francisco, three years ago, when you cleaned us all out, and I had to borrow THE LIEUTENANT ROLLED IN HIS CHAIR WITH INEXTINGUISH ABLE LAUGHTER. ' the cash from you next morning to pay my hotel bill? Don't you know It's ugainst all precedent to be both lucky at cards and lucky in love?" "Oh, I lose sometimes!" said the pro fessor, modestly, but he did ; not say whether it was cards or love he referred to. "My kind nephew here, ' and Mr. Sawyer, have been good enough to teach me the game of poker this evening, and have found me not Inapt." , The lieutenant rolled In his chair with inextinguishable laughter. Niles and Struthers took in the situation as they had not done before, and roared with him. Tom got red, and then joined heartily in the mirth. I tried to save the remnants of the prestige by gazing at them all in urbane surprise, till I got a chance to speak when I murmured, blandly: "I have been suspecting for some time professor, that you knew a great deal more than you would care to Impart to the students or trustees of your col lege!" At this thrust the professor chuckled appreciatively. And the game went on. When we broke up I need not par ticularize as to the hour Storrs said: "It's great luck that you're here for the picnic tomorrow, Harry!" "What picnic?" asked Tom's uncle, "Oh," said the lieutenant, "Tom and Sawyer here have arranged for a party of us to go over to the Inland In boats, and have one of those fish dinners, for which the spot la famous!" ' "Well, I don't know exactly," began the professor. But Storrs Interrupted him with "Oh, she'll be there! She has prom ised to got" , "Who to sher asked the professor, with an air of charming Innocence. " "Oh." Jeered the lieutenant, "don't try and make me believe you came away out to Stratford without knowing the fair Adela was here. Tou probably came. Indeed, because she wrote for you!" "Of course, we are very good friends!" assented the professor. Tome gave me one expressive look. And we all said good night A little later or earlier Tome came into my room. Just as I was about get ting into bed. "Did you ever know such a pair of asses as we made of ourselves?" asked he confidentially. "Yen." said I, crossly, "the pair he made of us!" "And to think he's a chum of Adela's!" continued Tom. "I was think ing he would be too shy of her for com fort at the picnic." "Oh. she'll have no use for you, my boy, when he's around!" I snapped, being very sleepy. Inis was unkind of me, for Tom was sweet on the be witching daughter of Thespls, and It was for her sake chiefly that he had planned the expedition. "1 don't care!'' said Tom, sulkily retir ing. "Lydia Charters will be there, and she's more fun than Adela any day!" Now Lydia Charters was the young poetess already referred to; and it was on her account that I found, the idea of the picnic interesting. I held my tongue, therefore, and fell asleep to dream a little dream, in which Tom's uncle was gathering In a Jack pot of Phenomenal dimensions. The bitter ness of it, however, lay not In the fact that he left no one of us so much as a single chip, but in the astounding con sideration that these chips represented all the loveliest women of my acquaint ance. (The End.) DIAMOND IN HIS TOOTH. It Was Put There When Theo. Frailer Had a Fortune Now the Lad Saws Wood for a Living. From the Washington Post. Among those provided with food and shelter at the municipal lodging house within the last few days was a young man whose dress would scarcely Indi cate that he had been reduced to a pen niless condition, neither would It be In ferred from his actions that he was ac customed to seeking accommodations furnished free by a charitable com munity. Tet it was there, and for three days and nights he was obliged to remain under the roof of that insti tution. One of the rules of the home for the destitute is that each person provided for there must exert a cer tain amount of energy upon the wood pile. In this way any individual may earn a night's lodging or a meal of victuals. Theodore Frazler was the name regis tered upon the book, but the name sig nified nothing In particular, and it was not for two days that the remarkable history of the young man was learned. He had taken his turn at the wood pile, and, although quite awkward in the use of a bucksaw, he paid In full the price asked for the accommodations af forded him. Superintendent Cutler, of the lodging house, observed that Frazer carried an unusual amount of gold in his teeth. "Nearly every tooth In my head Is crowned with gold, and what Is more, I have a diamond-set tooth," Frazer told the superintendent. AVith this he showed an Incisor in which was set a solitaire diamond of a little less than half a carat in weight. "I had them put In there when I had more money than I knew what to do with," he observed with a sigh of regret. The superintendent became Interested In the young man. Never before had the roof of the municipal lodging house iheltered a man with a mouth full of fold and diamonds. It was Indeed a rare thing to see such rich ornamentations among the poverty stricken. "I suppose you wonder what I am do ing here," remarked the possessor of the golden teeth, and taking note of the fact that the Btory of his life would not fall upon unappreclatlve ears, he began to give an account of himself. By way of Introducing the subject he Bald: FORTUNE THREE TEARS AGO. "Less than three years ago I was worth $80,000, but now I must work for a living, having lost every cent of my fortune." . "Was it drink that reduced you to you present condition?" "No," was the proud answer. "It was my friends." "All through my life I was provided with all the good things this world affords,. and my father, being a pros perous man, left me at his death the sum of $SO,000, principally in currency, or that which could be easily converted. In less than eighteen months after the money was placed at my disposal it had all slipped through my hands and I found myself one morning a pauper. "When I fell heir to such a princely sum I little dreamed that I would 'ever be In want, but I am going to make the best of the situation and endeavor to earn a livelihood as best I can." The young man's father realized a fortune from the sale of an iron mine In the south, but just where the son did not care to say. His own history was nil he would tell. In registering for his first night's lodging he gave Memphis, Term., as his address, and that is probably his former home. He Is now twenty-four years old, and came Into the'Inherltance about the time he attained his majority. He started out well by going to a dental college at Philadelphia to fit himself for that pro fession. Availing himself of the ser vices of an expert dentist, Frazier had gold crowns put on nearly all his teeth. A cavity appeared in one of his incisors and it was then conceived that a dia mond setting would be something of a novelty. Why not a diamond? He had plenty of money more than he needed so a pure white stone was purchased and set In the tooth. While In Philadelphia Frazier en gaged a suite of rooms at the Lafayette hotel, where he kept open house for his friends. Then began his downfall. Be ing generous, his alleged friends Im posed upon his hospitality. The money began to go rapidly but the amount seemed Inexhaustible to the heir. FORMER FRIENDS DESERTED. His luxurious apartments and expen sive friends rapidly reduced his bank account. When the money was no more to be had, the friends who had fared so sumptuously at the hands of Theo dore deserted him to seek other lambs not yet shorn. . He was of no further use to them, and then it was he learned that friends are plentiful while money lasts, but very scarce when the ex chequer becomes depleted. The world seemed cold and cheerless when the last penny had been spent, and there was no longer a friendly roof to Bh hinv But he was not the kind to cry over spilt milk. He gracefully accepted the unpleasant situation, and. although unfitted to battle with life, he was pos sessed of versatility. After trying various schemes he at last purchased a quantity of cheap Jew elry and began trafficking in that ar ticle, which sells readily to the unso phisticated pilgrims from the rural He evidently met with poor sale for his ware at the nation's capital, and found himself obllsed to saw wood that he might subsist during the sojourn here. It might be expected that one who has enjoyed the luxuries of life, and then lost all. would be anything but cheerful. This is not true in the case of Mr. Fra ser. He feels that he has been taught a lesson worth knowing, and what he ac cumulates by his own efforts will be treasured. It will not be squandered up on unappreciative friends. Superintendent Cutler Bald that In all his experience as manager of the mu nicipal lodging house, not one person has applied there for a bed whose his tory was as Interesting as that of the Memphis lad. tack.makim; industry. Made in Ureal Variety and for Many Different I'ses. The best tacks are made of imported Swedish Iron: the next grade of Amer ican soft steti, and the cheapest of com mon. American Iron. Tacks are also made of copper. Some tacks aire tinned, and for ship use tacks are galvanized. Tacks are made of sizes ranging from half-ounce to 24-ounce. The tack com monly used as a carpet tack is an 8 oumce tack. A 24-ounoe tack is about 1 Inches In length. There are many kinds of tacks, made for a great variety of uses, and they are put up in many different forms. There are gimp tUcks, kxkUig-glass tacks, upholsters1 tacks, 4runk tacks, luce tacks, shank tacks, lasting tacks, miners' tacks, cheese box tacks and tacks for many other uses. Within the past dozen years the sale of double pointed Hacks has increased tenfold with the greatly increased use of elec trical wine. Double-pointed tacks are also used for tacking down straw mat ting and for other purposes. Tacks that are sold in papers are put up In all weights, half weights and quarter weights, the weight indicating the size of the package. Almost all kinds of lacks are also sold In bulk, in 23-pound and 00-pound boxes and In 100 pound kegs. A one ounce tack machinist will moke In a day about 100,000 tacks altogether. The iron is fed Into the machine in a plate, which is of a width a little great er than the length of a finished tack, so as to allow of material to be up set for the head. An 8-ounce machine will make about 200 pounds of tacks a day, ' 1250 to the pound, about 250,000 tacks. Tacks that are put up In papers are weighed out and the papers filled by hand. Comparatively few tacks wi put up nowadays in tled-up paper; they are put up mostly in little pasteboard boxes. These boxes are packed in larger boxes and In turn In cases for shipment. A common tack package is a cast weigh ing about 100 pounds. The annual tack product of the coun try is estimated at about 20,000 tons. If these tacks were all put up in papers of the usual assortments of sizes and wights, the papers wculd number about 300,000,000, or something more than four papers per capita of the population.
