REVOLT OF THE- Mr. Madax sat In-fore his de.-k in a most despondent attitude, his head in his hands, and his hands in his hair. Things were going hadly in the city, as, alas ! they often do. Mr. Madax was alone in his office in Old (iol-.l al ley. He wanted time to think and had given orders that he was not to lu'di-"-turlsil. All tlx-thinking he npjienred to Ik- :ille to do did not neelit to help mat ters, so at last he pulled himself togeth er ami i:ieed up and down the room. Finally he stpjed and said to himst'lf: "That seems the only thing to do. I shall consult with my wife. I wish she eame home more fitpieiitly, and then we eoul.l talk over these matters." He seized a telegraph l.lank and w rote : "Mrs. John Madax, 20 Ilul- lion eotirt, city. Can you run over to Old (Jo!. I alley for a few minutes? I wish to consult you on h-.isiness. Ma dax." He ring the U'll f.r a telegraph ls.y and sent the message, then, p:eing up and down the room again, waited for his wife to a:p.'ar. Instead there earn? prompt answer, which he toreopen tnd rend feverishly : "Sorry I can't come this- forenona. Tis liu.-.y. Call on me at 1 o'clock, and I will take you to the club, where we can lunch and have a ijtiict talk. Jojui Madax." The worried man consulted his watch. It was not yet 11 o'clock. It would le more thaa two hours liefore he could see his wife. Ilewat down at his desk and devoted himself for those two hours to what htisincss there was in hand. H.' lirushed himself up a hit, t-xik his walking stick and drove in a handsome carriage to his wife's office on Hullion courL After having sent in his name a neat little girl showed him into a mom and told him that Mrs Ma dax would le with him presently. She was sorry to keep him waiting, hut she sent a copy of The Sketch for him to look over during the interval. Tiie Sketch was a p:iper started iu the nineteenth century ami was at that tittle considered to Ik? rather in advance of the other slow going weeklies. Xow, however, it was thought to l the cor rect pap.T for a iti ta to read, although the women paid little attention to it. In the retvptioa ro;nt two or three oth er men were waiting, nursing their hats. Presently tiie ottice girl came in and told them all, cxe.-pt Madax, that Mrs. Madax couldn't ptissibly see them until later in tiie day, a-s she ha 1 an appoint ment, and would they he good enough to call aliout 4 o'clock. So the men t;aik their departure, and Mad-tx was left alone with his paper, although his wife entered very so.ui after. She was a tall woman, with fine, clear cut, decided features. As far as the upp.T part of her was concerned, she was dr.-ssed al most like a man. S'ic woro a some what glaring necktie and a stand up j collar. IL-r hair was cut siiort ami parted at the side, while the hair of her hus'ctn.!, dark and stre.iki".! with gray, s.vmed to part naturally in the middle. Tiie neat tailor made skirt which Mrs. Madax wore had p.n-kets at each sM.', high up and very similar in cut to a man's iHK-kets. Her right hand was thrust into one of these pockets, and she jingled some coins and keys as she entered the room where her husband was waiting. "Well, John," she cried, "excuse me for keeping y oil, but we have had a yery busylnioriiiiig. However, if you are ready now, I am. Wc will go to the Fine Ear clu'o and have lunch." S'.ie approached her husband as she spoke and patted him with soul alt'ee- tion on the shoulder. He lKked up at her and smile-.L Some how her iullueiKv had a soothing, pro tective air about it, which made the mill feel that he was not battling with the world alotiL. One of the ii .iiiltous girl clerks came in with a long ulster, which Mrs. Ma dax put on, thrusting one hand iu the armholeand then the other, while the girl held the garment by the collar. When Mrs. Madax had buttoned up the ulster and put a jaunty round hard hat on her head, she looked more like a man than ever, and Madax himself seemed almost etleminate beside her. 'Is my brougham at the door?" she asked the girL "Yes, madam." "Come along, John ; we have no time to hse," aid Mrs. Madax decidedly, and leading the way she oj.ened the carriage door, whereupon he Htcppeil inside. "To the Tine Ear club," said the lady to the coachman. She took her seat beside her husband, and the carriage drove off toward the west end. In a short time it drew up before a palatial building standing wIkto the Metropole once sUxal. Tips, ESTABLISHED 1827. as every one knows, is the Tine Ear club, the sumptuous resort of women engaged in business in the city, it is higher priced than the Carlton or Re form, but is much more luxurious than cither of these old fashioned men dubs. "Call for me at half past 3," said the lady to her coachman. The stately doors of the club were opened by two girl porters, and the couple entered. The lady wrote her husband's name in a look which was on a stand in the hall, and together they entered the large dining room, where they took their places at one of the small tables set for two near one of the large front, windows. "We will take the regular club lunch," she said to one of the waiters. "And bring a Uottle of 'SI champagne a large bottle." "I I don't think I care forcham paigne," said Madax hesitatingly. "It gives me a headache." "Nonsense!" cried his wife. "A glass or two will do you good. You look worried." "I am worried, and that is what I wished to see you alsout." "Well, wo won't talk business dur ing lunch, if you please," adding as she leaned hack in her chair: "It's a habit I never indulge in. It's a luid one. We can have a talk in the smok ing room afterward. How are the children?" "Very well, thank you. The girl is a little hard on the lxy and knocks him about a bit, but they are getting on very well." "I'oor little fellow," said Mrs, Ma dax. "Roys are such a worry to their parents when one thinks that tiny have to encounter this world alone. I must ruu down and sec them next week if I can." "I wish you would," said Madax. "Tiie children miss you very much. Why don't you come home oftener?' "Well, very soon I exjat-t to la. able to do so," she replied ; "but like you, I have a great deal on my miml at pres ent, and the market requires very close watching." "Can't you come home with me to night?" he asked. "The children would lie so pleased to scce you." "No," she answer. "I have to take Sir Caesar Camp out to dinner to-night. "To-morrow night, then?" he sug- gi-sted deprecatingly. "No," said the lady, shaking her head. "It's worse still to-morrow night. I have a lot f stockbrokers dining with nie at thelloliuira." "It must cost you a lot of mopcy, these dinners on every night. "Yes, it docs," said Mrs. Madax, "but my experience is if you want to make a good business deal with a man you must first feed him well. I always see that the wines are irreproachable. I will say one thing for the men that they always know go-nl wine when they taste it." "Weil," said Madax, "I will tell the children that Vou send vour love to them, but I think, yo-.i know, that a woman shouldn't lose sight of her chil dren, even though business isabsorl- ing." She urged him to take his share of the champagne, but Madax dcclintd, aying, "A man must keep his head clear for business nowadavs." "Yes," siad his wife. "I supp;se a mm must." "There was a slight tinge of sarcasm in her voice, and she pis unnecessary emphasis on the noun. Madax looked grieved, but said nothing. How often do women in their thoughtless rude ness cause pain to the tender hearts of th.ise who love them ! After lunch was over Mrs. Madax led the way up stairs to the private smok ing room which she had reserv.il for their use. It was in a corner of the club building, overlooking a bit of the river and omm-imling a view of Char ing Cross railway bridge. "We will be quite umlisturlved here," she said, "and can talk business." Ringing a bell to give an order, she asked her husband : "What will you drink?" "Nothing, thank yo.i" h? replied but added afterward, "I will have a glass of milk and so l i if you can get it." "You will smoke, of c :irse," said his wife. "A cigarette," answered Mad ix. When the waiter app -ard, Mrs. Ma dax said, "I.ring a gla.s of milk and sola, some of the best Egyptian ciga rettes two Havana cig: rs and a glass of special Scotch with seltzer." When these materials were brought ami the waiter had disappeared, Mrs. Madax walked to the door and turned the key in U. Her huslron 1 lit his ciga rette from the match she held out to him, and then, biting the end from her owii ci-zar, she liegan to smoke. She thrust her two hands deep down iu her p ockets and began to pace up and down the room. "Now, John," she tried "what's the trouble?" Mr. Madax's nam was Hilly, but evcryliody called him John liee-iusehis wife's name was Joan. Mr. John Ma dax was the name he was known by. "Sme months ago," ln'gaa Mr. Ma dax, "I went into a wheat deal, and 1 don't quite see my way out." Mrs. Madax stopped in her pacing and faced her husband in surprise. "A wheat deal !' she crieiL "Which side of the m trket are you on ?" "Oh, I'm on for a rise." His wife made a gesture of despair and began walking up aad down the room again. "What in heaven's name did you buy for a rise for?" "Well," said Madax very humbly, "you sec, the American wheat crop had practically failed, and I thought I was pretty sure of a rise." "Why didn't you speak to me about it?" she cried. Her husband Hashed uneasily. "I wanted to d: something ofTiny own bat," he sa'nL "Of course I had no idea at that time there would be a corner in wheat" "Corner V she cried contemptuous ly. "There's always a corner ; there's bound to be a corner. Don't you know enough not to look to the L'nited Slates any more for indications of the wheat market? India and the Baltic hold the key to the situation." "Yes I know, at leasl I know now," he said, "but there is no use in upbraid ng me for what I have done. I am up to the neck iu wheat, and the signs to day are that it is going lower than ever. Now, what would you advise me to do, Joan ?" "Oh, advise you ! she cried. "What's the use of coming to me when it is too late? I advise you to get out of it as cheaply as you can." Her husband groaned. "I am afraid," he said, "that will mean practical ruin now." "Well, my opinion is that wheat Ls going lower still." "Then it is utter ruin for me," said Madax dejectedly. Mrs. Madax stopped once more in her ".acing the room and confronted her hushand. "John," she said, "why don't you give up your office iu the city and go home and take care of the children?" A spark of resentment apjieared in the man's eyes :ls lie gazed at his wife. "I don't want to lie entirely depend ent on you," he said at last, "l'ooh !" said his wife, and then she ndded ; "I will make you a handsome allowance for housekeeping and as much as yon want liesidcs. You are worrying yourself to death aliout busi ness. You ought to take a run to Rrightoii or go oir to Monte Carlo and give up iMitheriug aliout city atnurs." The man sighed. "That's all very well, but you don't siv that I want to make some money for myself." "Rut you are not making it. You're losing it. You say you are up to the neck. How much does that mean?" "Twenty-five thousand iwiumls," he said, with a sigh. "IXar, dear," she said, "and I sup kso that is all the money you have." "It is more than all the money I have," he answered. "I wish you had spoken to me lie fore. It is too late now. Don't you see that?" "Yes, but I hail so. nothing to j.ro-p-ise. You spoke of taking Sir C.e.-ar Citmp to dinner. Now, I don't know what you want to get him iu on, but I tlo know that I could get him on i.iy side of the w heat deal, and he woui-l bring in others. Tiieii we might ire able to stop the break in the market" Mrs. Madax's eyes sparkled as she looked down at her husband. "Can you really do all that?" she asked almost breathles.-ly.
