Around this the day's proceedings began, writes T. Ilendrick in the American Magazine. Jay Gould's own brokers, pale, haggard, half dis trustful and half ashamed of their work, started the bids. Gold had closed the day previously at 144. Now a Gould broker offered 143 for SIOO,OOO gold. His only responso were the curses and list shakings of a bedraggled, per spiring crowd. "Oue hundred and forty-six for SIOO,- 000 gold." Still there was no response. "One hundred and forty-seven." Each advancing point meant millions In profits to Gould and likewise mil lions in losses to the community. At every advance the crowds, losing all restraint, alternately roared and wept. "One hundred and forty-eight." J'One hundred and forty-niu£" Above the pandemonium the monot onous voices of the Gould brokers could be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting' up the price. "One hundred and fifty." "One hundred and lifty-one." At this point the buying began. Hith erto the crowd had been held magical ly spellbound. The audacity of the Gould brokers had paralyzed all. Board brokers were particularly dazed. In face of the clique's demonstrated pow er no one seemed able to bid, even to make the feeblest attempt to check the terrible rise. A few uptown merchants now, how ever, started to purchase. Soon the bidding degenerated into panic. Ev ery one scrambled to get his gold now while the price, judged by what had already happened and the unques tioned power of the gang, seemed low. All purchases, however, meant enor mous losses. Fortunes accumulated through years of self sacrificing toil were swept away In a moment. In their craze men ran aimlessly about the room, moaning, screaming, vainly appealing for help. Outside, where the crowds breathlessly wnited announcements, the same scenes were repeated. Ruined men, unable to get into the building itself, pushed, cursed and fought. At each rise In the price the rage against Gould Increased. When the bid reached l« r »0 there were cries of "Lynch! Lynch!" And meanwhile what was the plotter of all this mischief doing? lie was selling gold. To whom was he selling? To risk and all his own associates, lie was the only man who really under stood the situatiou—who knew, that Is, upon what a Uimsy basis his "corner" rested. lie sent Fisk, Belden and JSpeyer into the gold room to advance the price ostensibly for the benefit of tlie clique, and when It had reached a certain point unloaded on his own ac count. He had sold largely, unknown to his confederates, the day before. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Success doesn't amount to so much if a lot of age goes with It now many things we all have to do that "goes against the grain." If you are willing to spend money on your fads you can find plenty of en couragement In them. No man says exactly what lie means. To do that would require too much ex planation and qualification. When you havo no other reform to think about, here is one that is always Important and timely: You talk too much.

"Unto One of the Least of These" By RICHARD DARKER SHELTON Copy light, 1905, bu Rulty Douula* Van Ruyven followed the butler up the wide stairs, Inwardly amused at bis own trepidation. It was most absurd, lie told himself, for a man to feel as he did under those circumstances. There were certainly no logical grounds for Lis vague fears. Still there was tho haunting possibility that tho bishop might raise objections. Remote tills possibility was, to be sure, but none tho less potent. Van Ituyveu remembered the time there had been a case pending against him In the courts. It was a sib ly case, trumped up by an ambulance chaser. Ills lawyer had told him from the first it was nothing to worry about. And yet he had been more or less dis turbed until the jury had brought in its verdict In his favor. Ills position now as he mounted the stairs in the wake of the solemn butler seemed analogous. At the head of the stairs the butler drew aside the leather portiere, and Van Ruyven entered the big, dim study. A fire crackled cheerfully upon the hearth and sent flickering shadows dancing up and down the rows upon rows of books. Near by a green shaded lamp threw a soft light upon a table littered with books and papers. As Van Ruyvcn crossed the threshold a fine figure of a man rose from Ills Beat by the table and came forward with outstretched hand. "Arthur, I'm glad to see you," said the bishop, with a sinile that left no doubt as to the sincerity of his words. "Sit down here by the lire ami give an account of yourself. I count myself in luck that you tafce the trouble to come up here to see mf when Edith Is in the house." He drew two comfortable chairs be fore the fire and motioned Van Ruyven to one of them. "Now, then, what sort of absolution do you want this time?" the bishop went on lightly, "or perhaps you came up here because you know I'd let you smoke." Van Ruyven smiled. "Thanks, I will smoke if you don't mind," he said, drawing out his cigar ease. He selected a cigar with as much care as if the fate of an empire hung upon his choice, clipped the end and slowly lighted it. lie smoked abstractedly for a moment or two before ho turned to the bishop. "The fact Is," Van Ruyven began, "I have come to you tonight with a very delieate mission." "AJi, I see." The bishop's words were formal, noncommittal, but bis clean shaven, kindly face lighted up with a smile of understanding, and there was a hint of mischief In the gray eyes. Van liuyven was looking into the fire again. Ho puffed nervous ly at the cigar. "And this delicate mission?" the bish op suggested mildly. "I came, sir," said Van Ituyven, speaking very slowly, "to ask you If ycfti would have any objections to me as—as Edith's husband—that Is," ho amended quickly, "if Edith herself has no objections. You see, I haven't ascer tained that as yet." The bishop straightened himself In hi* chair. With his broad shoutders and his iron gray hair he was a decid edly imposing man. Just now he re garded his guest with an odd expres sion, half of affection, half of amuse ment. "So you came to me first," ho said quietly. "Rather a rare procedure In these degenerate days. You show a delicate deference, sir, to certain ideas that I inherit from my aucestry on the other side of the Mason and Dixon line. I think I shall have to Index you as a master tactician," he ended playfully. "Then you have no objections in the matter?" asked Van Kuyven. "Bless my soul, no," laughed the bish op, "and If I read Edith rightly she has noue either." He leaned forward in his chair and regarded the younger man intently. Ills face became suddenly grave. "There Is something about Edith, however, that I must confide to you," he said, "something that no one alive knows save I, myself. Under the cir cumstances, Arthur, you should know It too. I disclose It under the seal of tae confessional as something you must never mention at any time nor under any stress." Van Uuyven bent his bead slowly In acknowledgment of his obligation. "Edith," said the bishop very gently, as if even the confession of it cost him a pang, "is not my own child." Van Ruyven sat up in surprise. "Not your child?" he repeated incredulously. *'No," said tlie bishop. "Years ago, when I was in charge of a very humble country parish, she was left on the steps of the rectory one night, a tiny mite, wrapped in an old horse blanket. We Intended at first to send her to an I asylum, but there was something | about those big dark eyes and those tiny arms even then that cried out to I us. You know there were never any children of our own, and she came to fill the vacant niche In our lives." lie j paused a moment and smiled reminis | cently. "I thought you ought to know of this, even If— "My dear bishop," Van Ruyven inter rupted, "I doubt If she could have been really more yours had she been born to you. Why, she has your ideas and your traits. Sne even has >our penetrating way of looking at one." "I don't think the accident of her birth has ma very much with her or with me." the bishop said. "My own daughter could not have been more to me, Arthur." The bishop's j eyes were moist In his earnestness. "She lias never once disappointed me. Even her intentions seem to be mine." There was a commotion downstairs, then the sound of footsteps on the pol ished stairs and a vigorous knock on tlie lintel. The portiere was whisked aside, and an excited maid came into the room—so excited that she gave 110 heed to the bishop's frown of mild re proof at her unseemly entrance. "l'laze, sor," she gasped, "Miss Edith do be wantln' yer downstairs at wance, sor. They's been a baby lift on the doorstlp." The bishop almost sprang from his chair. "A what?" he said. "A baby, sor, lift on the doorstip, sor." "There seems something almost omi nous in this coincidence, Arthur," lie said nervously. "Pardon me a moment. I'll be back directly." After tho bishop had left tho room Van Ruyven tiptoed cautiously into tho hall and peered over tho banisters. It was Indeed a strange group that stood in tho hall below—Mrs. Briggs, the iiousekoeper, with the much swathed foundling In her arms; Edith, tall and stately, standing near by, her arms and neck showing like ivory against the dark tapestry on the the bishop peering Into the depths of the old shawl that wrapped the child; two maids craning over his shoulder and the statu esque Iliggins explaining to such as cared to listen how he had come to find tho bundle when he had answered the bell. "And what'll we do with it?" asked Mrs. Briggs when lUggins* tale of woo had come to an end. "Do?" said Edith. "Why, we'll take it to tho home, of course." "My dear," the bishop remonstrated mildly, "why not keep It here with us? To take It to the home seems to mo to bo very much like casting it Into outer darkness. Of course we can't look after all the waifs, but suppose wo take this one, who has boon left at our very door, and give It a chance in the world." Edith laughed unsympathetically. "Why, father, dear, what a silly idea," she began. "Of course we can't keep It." " 'lnasmuch as ye have done it unto 0110 of tho least of these,'" quoted the bishop. "A very pretty sentiment," said the girl, "but most unpractical. You haven't the least Idea what instincts this child may have. You would prob ably give It every advantage in the world only to have it disappoint you at every turn. It would probably grow up a most ungrateful little wretch. They always do." Van Ruyven tiptoed back into the study and sat down before the fire. He heard tho group below go into the re ception room, and their voices came up to him Inarticulately. For a time he sat there, smoking In a preoccupied manner. Then he heard Edith's voice in the hit 11 below giving orders to the servants. "Iliggins, telephone for the carriage, and Mrs. Briggs get on your things, please, and be ready when It comes. We'll take the child to the home. I'll go with you. I can't conceive why father had such absurd notions about keeping it here." A little later the front door slammed, there was a rumble of carriage wheels without, and then Van Ruyven heard the bishop's steps slowly ascending the stairs, lie came Into the study and stood for awhile looking silently Into the fire. "Did you hear it?" he asked at | length, turning abruptly to Van Ruy ven. The younger man nodded. The j bishop sank rather heavily into his chair. "She's not mine! I was mistaken!" he burst out. "She Is no daughter of mine, after all!" Van Kuyven rose. "I think I'd best go now," he said simply. "Flease don't tell Edith that I have been here nor why I came." The bishop looked at him narrowly. "It will be hard for her," he said, "but j I think you are justified." Suddenly the bishop's head drooped. There was a stifled sound very like a sob. "She said it would grow up an un grateful little wretch, and she was right, Arthur; she was right." A Pnthfllc Incident. There is a pitiful story told in the Bookman of Philip Bourke Marston, the blind English writer. One day a particularly good Idea came to him, and he sat down to his typewriter with enthusiasm. lie wrote rapidly for hours and had nearly finished the story when a friend came in. "Head that," said Marston proudly, "and tell me what you think of It." The friend stared at the happy author and then at the blank sheets of paper in his hand before he was able to understand the little tragedy. The ribbon had been taken from the typewriter, and Mar ston's toll was for nothing. He never had the heart to write that story again Power of Snlphnrlo Acid. An Instance of the great dissolving powers of sulphuric acid Is furnished by an accident which occurred in the chemical factories at Mulhouse, Al sace. An operative was blown up Into the air and fell Into a trough filled about three feet deep with sulphuric acid, the temperature of which was found to be 01 degrees C. ten hours after the accident. The death of the man was only proved by the discovery of his caoutchouc respirator, muzzle two porcelain buttons and other Insol uble articles.
