CHAPTER VI.
"Tell me ■what has happened," re
peated John Kenyon.
Wentworth looked up at him. "Every
thing' has happened," be answered.
"What do you mean, George? Are
you ill ? What is the matter with, you ?"
"I am worse than ill, John; a great
deal worse than ill. I wish I were ill."
"That, wouldn't help things, whatever
is wrong. Come, wake up. Tell me
what the trouble is."
"John, lam a fool—an asr;—a gibber
ing idiot."
"Admitting that—what then?"
"I trusted a woman—imbecile that i
am; and now—now —l'm what you see
me."
"Has—Las Mies Brewster anything' to
do with it?" asked Kenyon, suspi
ciously.
"She has everything 1 to do with it."
"Has she—rejected you, George ?"
""What! that girl? Oh, you're the
j idiot now. Do you think I would ask
) her?"
j "I cannot be blamed for jumping at
conclusions. You must remember 'that
grrl,' as you call her, has had most of
your company during- this voyage; arid
most of your good words when you were
mnot with her. What is the matter?
What has she to do with your trouble?"
Wentworth paced up and down the
narrow limits of the state-room as if
he were caged. He smote his hand
against his thigb, while Kenyon looked
at him in wonder.
*'l don't know how I can tell you,
John," he said. "I must, of course; but
I don't know how I can."
"Come on deck with me."
"Never."
"Come out, I say, into the fresh air.
It is stuffy here, and, besides, there is
more danger of being overheard in the
"T«I1 m« wbat bit* happened." repeated John
Sin ay on.
stateroom than on deck. Come along,
old fellow." He caught his companion
by the am, and partly dragged him out
of the room, closing the door behind
him.
"Pull yourself together," he said. "A
little fresh air will do you good."
They in ado their way to the deck,
and linking arms walked up and down.
For a long time Wentworth said noth
ing, and Kenyon had the tact to hold his
peace. Suddenly Wentworth noticed
that they were pacing back and forth
in front of Miss Brewster, so he con
tinued his walk around to the other side
of the ship. After a few turns up arid
down, lie naid: "You remember Rivera,
of course?"
"Certainly."
"He was employed on that vile Blicet,
the Now York Argun."
"I anppoftc it is a vile sheet. I don't
remember ever seeing l it. Yes, I know
he wan connected with that paper.
What then? What, has Mi.su Brewster
to do with Rivera?"
"She is one of the Argus staff, too."
"George Wentworth, you don't mean
to tell mo that!"
"I do."
"And ia she here to find out about
the mine?"
"Exactly. Khe mm put on the job
after Rivera had failed."
"George 1" said Kenyon, suddenly
dropping lii« companion's arm, and fac
ing him. "What have you toid her?"
"There is the misery of it. I have
told her everything."
"My dear fellow, how could you lit:—"
"Oh, I know—l know. I know every
thing you would nay. Everything you
can Hay f have Kaid to iriywdf, and ten
times more and ten times worm:. There
ia nothing you crm my of me more bit
ter than what I think alxmt myself."
"Ili'l you tell her anything about my
report?"
"I told her everything, everything!
Do you understand ? Hhe la going to
telegraph from Queenstown the full es
sence of our rej^irta—of both our re
port*."
"Heavens! This Is fearful. Ta there
no way you would try to prevent her
sending It?"
"If you think you can prevent her
1 wish you would try it."
"How did you find it out? Did she
tell you?"
"Oh, it, doesn't matter how I found
It out. I did find it, out. A man told
me who she was; then I asked her, and
she was fierfeetly frank about it. Hhe
read me tin; report even."
"Rend it to you?"
"Yes, rc-ad it to me, and punctuated
it in my presence put In wirne worda
that 1 suggested Ha being better than
those she had used. Oh, it was the
coolest piece of work you ever saw."
"Hut there inuil be some way of pre
venting her getting that account to
New York in time. You Bee, all we
have t/i do ia to wire your people to
hand in our report to the directors,
and then her rojiort la forestalled. Hhe
fuut 121 telegraph from a Hrltlsli office,
ond it seems l/> me that we could atop
her in some way."
"As for Instance, how?"
"Oli, 1 don't know just how at the
momenf, but we ought to 1«> able to

"George, that woman is a fiend."
"No, she isn't, John. She is meiely
a clever American journalist, who
thinks she has done a very clever good
piece of wo.-k indeed, and who, through
the stupidity of one man, has succeed
ed, that's all."
"Have you made anv appeal to her
at all?"
"Oh, haven't I? Of course I have.
What good did it do? She merely
laughed at me. Don't you understand?
That is what she is here for. Her
whole voyage is for that one purpose;
ond it's not likely the woman is going
to forego her triumph after IWving
succeeded—more especially as some
body else in the same office has failed.
That's what gives additional zest to
what she has done. The fact that Riv
ers has failed and she has succeeded,
seems to bo the great feather in her
cap."
"Then," said Kenyon, "I am going
to appeal to Mis 3 Brewster myself."
"Very well. I wish you joy of your
job. Do what yo% can, John, there's
a good fellow. Meanwhile I want to be
alone somewhere."
Wentworth went down the stairway
that led to the steerage department,
and for a few moments sat among the
steerage passengers. Then he climbed
np another ladder, and got to the very
front of the ship, nere he sat down on
a coil of rope and thought over the
situation. Thinking, however, did him
-very little good. He realized that even
if he got hold of the paper Miss Brews
ter had, she could easily write out an
other. She had the facts in her head,
and all she needed to do was to get to
a telegraph office, and there write out
her message.
Meanwhile Kenyon took a few turns
up and down the deck thinking deeply
on the eame subject. lie passed over to
the side where Miss Brewster sat, but
on coming opposite her had not the
courage to take his place beside her.
She was calmly reading her book.
Three times he came opposite her,
paused for a moment, and then contin
ued his hopeless march. He saw that
his courage was not going to be suffi
cient for the task, and yet felt the task
must be accomplished. He didn't know
how to begin. He didn't know what
inducement to offer the young woman
for foregoing the fruits of her inge
nuity. He felt that this was tlio weak
point in his armor. The third time he
paused in front of Miss Brewster, nhe
looked up and motioned him to the
cliair beside her, saying:
"I don't know you very well, Mr.
Kenyon, but I know who you are.
Won't you sit down beside mo for a
few moments?" The bewildered inau
sat down on the chair she indicated.
"Now, Mr. Kenyon, I know just what
is troubling you. You have passed
three or four times whilling toeitdown
beside me and yet afraid to venture.
Is that not true?"
"Quite true."
"I knew it was. Now I know also
what you have come for. Mr. Went
worth has told you what the trouble
is. He has told you that ho haR given
rne all the particulars about the mines,
hasn't he?"
"He liaa."
"Arid he has gone off to his state room
to think over the ma»tter, and lias left
1114? affair Id your luinUii, uwl you imug
ine you can come here to me, and, per
haps, talk me out of sending that dis
patch to the
motive?"
"That, in aboti t what I hope to be able
to do," Maid Kenyon, mopping his brow..
"Well, I thought I might ju»t as well
put you out of your misery at once.
You take things very seriously, Mr.
Kenyon, I '-an nee that. Now, don't
you ?"
"I'm afraid T do."
"Why, of course you do. The publica
tion of this, as I told Mr. Wentworth,
will really not matter at. all. It will
not be, any reflection on either of you,
tiecause your freindt will )«■ sure that
if you had known to whom you wen?
talking, you would never have said
anything alxiut the mines."
Kenyon smiled grimly at thin piece of
comfort.
"Now, I have, been thinking about
something since Mr. Wentworth went
away. I am really very sorry for him.
I am more. Korry than I can tell."
"Then," said John, "won't you—"
"No, 1 won't, so we rie*-dn't recur to
that phase of the subject. That is
what I am here for, and, no matter what,
you say, tin- dispatch in going to be
sent. Now, It in letter to understand
that at tirt, and then it will create
no trouble afterwards. Oon'tyou think
that is the I .est?"
"Probably," answered the wretched
man.
"Well, then, let u» start there. I will
say in tin; cablegram that the Informa
tion coinr-H from neither Mr. Kenyon
nor Mr. Wentworth."
"Ye«, but that wouldn't l>e true."
"Why, of course it wouldn't Is-, true,
but that doesn't matter, doe« it?"
"Well, on our side of the water,"
said Kenyon, "we think that the truth
does matter."
Mi an llrewater laughed heartily.
"Dear jne," she said, "what little tact
you have. How doe* it concern you
whether it is true or not? I f there Is any
falsehood it is not you who tells it, no>
you are free from all blame. Indeed
yon are free from all blame, anyhow,
in thisaffair; It is all your friend Wen.t
worth's fault; but still. If it hadn't
been Wentworth, it would have been
you."
Kenyon looked up at her incredulous
h-
"Oh yes, it would," site said, nod
ding confidently at him. "Yon must
not flatter yourself In-eau e Mr. Went
worth told me everything about it,
that you wouldn't have done just the.
!iime, If I had to find It out from you.
All men are pretty much alike when;
women are concerned."
"Can I say nothing to you, Miss
Hrcwster, which will keep you front
sending the j,,«« Mage to America?"
"No, you cannot. I thought we had
enttlcd that at the beginning. 1 see
there is no use talking to you. I will
return t»> my book, whioh is very Inter
esting. flood morning, Mr. Kenyon."
Kenyon fe.lt the hojielenancHS of his
project, quite iv: much as Wentworth
had dmie, and, thrusting his hands
deep into hi . pockctn, he wanderc<l dis

step to suit her.
"May I walk with you a few min

"Certainly," was the. reply. "What
is the matter? You are looking very
unhappy."
"My comrade and myself are in great
trouble, and I thought I would like to
talk with you about it."
"I am sure if there i i anything 1
can do to help you I .'.ludl be nio t giad

"Perhaps you may suggest some
thing. You sec two men dealing with

"Ah, who is the. one woman not I,
is It?"
"No, not you, Miss I.ongworth. I
wish it were, Un a we would have no
trouble.'
"Oh, thank you."
"You see it is like this: When we
were in Quebec —I think 1 told you
about that—the New York Argu.-- sent
a man to find out what we had report
ed. or were going to report, to the I-on
don syndicate."
"Yee, you toid me that"
"Rivers was his name. Well, this
same paper, finding that Rivers had
failed, after having stolen the docu
ments, haf; tried a much more subtle
scheme, which promises to be much
mare successful. They have put on
board thi-~ ship a young woman, who
lias gained a reputation for learning
secrets not intended for the public.
This young woman >s Miss Brewster,
who sits next to Wentworth at the
table. Fate seems to have played right
into her hand and placed her beside
him. They became acquainted, and,
unfortunately, my friend has told her
a great deal about the mines, which
she seemed to have an interest in. Or,
rather, she pretended to have an in
terest in him, and so he spoke, being,
of course, off liis guard. There is no
more careful fellow in the world than
George W entworth, but a man does no*
expect that a private conversation with
a lady will ever appear in a newspaper."
"Naturally not."
"Very well, that is the. state of things.
In some manner Wentworth came to
know that, this young woman was the
special correspondent of the New
York Argus. He spoke to her about
it, and she is perfectly frank in saying
she is here solely ft* the purpose ot
finding out what the reports will be,
and that the moment she gets tc
Queenstown she will cable what she has
discovered to New York.
"Dear me, that is very perplexing
What have vou done?"
"We have.done nothing, so far; or
rather, I should Ray, we have done
everything we could think of. and
have accomplished nothing. Went
worth has appealed to her, and I made
a clumsy attempt at an appeal also,
but it was of no use. I feel my own
helplessness in this matter, and Went
worth Is completely broken down over
it."
They walked up and down the deck
in silence for two or three turns.
Then Miss Longwood looked up atKen
yon and said:
"Will you place this matter in my
hands?"
"Certainly; if you will be so kind as
to take any interest in it."
"I take a great deal of interest. Of
course, you know my father is deeply
concerned in it, also, so I am acting in
a meajiure for him."
"Have you any plan?"
"Yes; my plan is simply lliis: The
younff woman is working' for money;
now, if we. can offer her more tlia.ll lier

kind of woman, she is."
"Ah, yes," said Kenyon, "but we
haven't the money, you Hee."
"Never mind; the money will be
quickly forthcoming'. Don't trouble any

John Wanamaker, wh>ii=e name 1* now
most prominently mentioned in connec

the United States senate, is a typical
American, and the story of his life might
serve as an illustrative example of the
career open to every American as Intelli
gent, as enorgetic, .is industrious and a?
honorable as he ha* proved himself to be.
He was born on July 7. ls:58. In the lower
part of Philadelph : county, which was
then "in the country,'' though since in
cluded within the limits. His father,
Xel- >n Wannmaker. was a briekmaker,

thoroughly mastered the business in a few
years, labor!tiff t persistently as to seri
ously Impair his acnlth. So far did he
push his attention to i-usinoss at the ex
pense of physique that, when the war
broke out, his services in the army were
refused by the government officials, lie
cause of physical disability.
>1 is Service for the I'nlon.
He was. however, very active in the
cause of the I'nlon from the outsat, and
as a mem tier of several helpful organiza
tions gave far more aid to tho government
than lie could have done in carrying a
musket. He was one of the founders of
the Union League, and In association with
the late George H. . inwirt lie organized
the Christian commission, which worked
■oeffectively with the : mltary oommls
slon throughout the war in carina for
sick and wounded soldiers.
He also aided in organizing the Young
Men's Christian association in Philadel
phia, and In IH-»'■>, at the ago of 21 years,
was elected the first salaried secretary of
this association in America, rendering In
this capacity also Important service to thu
young men engaged in the war.
It should Is; further stated that ho was
for eight years president of the Young
Men's Christian association of Philadel
phia, ami it was mainly thr nigh his ef
forts that the great, building of this asso
ciation at Kifl etilh a id Chestnut streets
was erected. This si ructurn has the man
ifold advantages of library, gymnasium,
school, lecture and meeting rooms, and
was built at a cost of nearly half a million
dollars, most of the money Isilng raised by
Mr. Wanamaker s personal exertions.
Capability for Organi/atoln.
It was early said of him that ho was "a
natural Isiru organizer, and, when thn
project for the Centennial exhibition of
1870 was llrst, proposed, he was Imme
diately appealed to, anil in responiw he
raised the lirst million dollars for that
great national undertaking by subscrip
tions among his business acquaintances.
Among similar public sarvlces mention
should l*i made of the fact, that he was
chairman of the cltleen'fl relief committee
duriug the famine Iu Ireland, and visited
Ireland to organize the distribution of the
lllieral funds which ho hel|ied to raise He
was also chairman of the commission to
aid the sufferers from yellow fever In the
south, and has linen an active worker In
every such charitable movement for
which Philadelphia liaslssui distinguished
during the past i|tiartcr of a century.
He was the second subscrilsir to the
fund for founding the Presbyterian hos
pital, of which he was trustee and, with
Mrs. "Aaniiirakcr, he built the children's
ward as a memorial to his mother He
was the founder and is the leader of the
famous Bethany school, that center of re
ligious touching and charitable Influence
which thousands of rojourners In Phila
delphia visit with unflagging Interest. He
also founded the Hethany Industrial col
lege, the first of Its kind lu this country;
and, as president of the first penny sav

under which savings funds were put un

Mr. Wanamaker's business career has
been supplemented by an equally useful
and successful participation in politics.
He has long taken an active part In local
political movements. In the presidential
campaign of lsss he served as chairman of n
committee appointed to promote the He
publican cause, which aided materially in
the successful outcome of that canvass.
When General Harrison entered the Presi
dential office in Marca, 1889, he tendered
Mr. Wanamaker a seat in the cabinet as
postmaster general, a position for which
he was pre-eminently qualified by his long
busine-s training. He introduced into
the department the business methods
which hud been so successful iu his pri
vate life, ami .i .i ier his management the
p<>nt.il « i-vic.- il the country acquired an
unprecedented degree of efficiency. Mr.
Wanamaker entered, with his accustomed
activity, upon the presidential campaign
of 1K1»> mute a tour of Pennsylvania
extending through twenty-four counties,
ami at every one of the many meetings
which he addressed he brought home to
his hearers th" vital issues of the hour,

WANAMAKER AT HOME
Ilia Candidacy a. Viewed by (he News
papers of Ills Own City,
The campaign in the interestof the Hon.
John Wanamaker,as the successor to Sena
tor Cameron has assumed such propor
tions that It must be viewed with real in
terest. So far he is the only avowed can
didate representing a fixed and definite
principle. There may !>e many aspirants,
but in the strict sense of the word there Is
but one candidate.
It Is Instructive, therefore, to know how
his candidacy is viewed in his own home,
and un adequate idea of this tuny lie
gained from the following editorial com
ments of the Philadelphia newspajiers:
In the Front Kank.
There is but one opinion amongst the
l>eople of this state concerning the succes
sion to Senator Cameron. The vacancy In
the upjier branch of congress, which will
occur on March 4 next, should lie filled by
the selection of a representative citizen of
the highest character and attainments;
one who possesses In the largest posslbio
degree the res[i*ot and confidence of the
whole commonwealth; who Is especially
filled, through ability and knowledge of
ufTalrs, for efficient public service in an ln
fluential legislative body; who Is free from
all obligations to factionalism of any sort,
and who will have but one purpose
throughout his term—namely, to perform
the tusk assigned htm with 7,eal, fidelity
and acceptability. * * * Every one
knows that us senator John Wanamuker
would lie in the front rank at theoutstart.
The wonderful tmcrgy which has char
acterized the successful career of the mer
chant prince would bo concentrated In the
performance of public duties, and the peo
ple of the whole country, as well as those
of his own state, would reap the lietiefit.—
The Kvenlng Telegraph.
Au Ideal Candidate.
Mr. Wanamaker will prove a formid
able candidate against the fluid. His su
pcrlur kuowledge, his splendid business
qualifications and undoubted high char
acter mark him as a man admirably fitted
for the Important position. Philadelphia
has not had a senator for more than sixty
years. By all meuns the man selected by
the legislature this winter should come
from this city, and with the vast business
Interests centered here Mr. Wanamaker

is no doubt of his fitness—The Record.
Claim, to Consideration.
Mr Wanamaker's claims to considera
tion are speoially enforced by the justice
of the demand that a Pennsylvania sena
torship shall, at last, after a lapseof sixty
two years, be filled by a Philadelphian.
His large range of information, his ex
perience. his persuasive powers of publlo
speaking, and his intimate acquaintance
with the problems of tinanceand business,
which will engage the attention of the
senate iu the next few years, all go far to
commend him as a man who could make
the voice of Pennsylvania heard and re
spected in the national councils.—The
Evening Bulletin.
The Logical Candidate.
It is uo disrespect to the other distin
guished men of Pennsylvania who aspire
to a position in the senate to say that Mr.
Wanamaker embodies the best attributes
to make an elftoicnt, useful and honorable
career in the senate, and to reflect credit
alike upon himself and the great state he
would represent in the highest legislative
tribunal of the nation. He is the -hly
familiar with all the great financ com
mercial. manufacturing and in '.u» U in
terests of the commonwealth. H not
only familiar with them iu theory it he
has acquired the practical infoi ition
that is most valuable in -,;.itesn iship,
and he possesses also the ability to ,'efend
his convictions before the people or in the
forum of the senate. It was only logical,
therefore, that the liusiness Men's League
of this city should present his name to the
Pennsylvania legislature for the highest

WANAMAKER AS A CANDIDATE.
Warm Wortl* of Indoraemont from All
ran* of the state.
Thiit the candidacy of ex-Postmaster
General John Wanatnaker for the United
States senate is making rapid headway
and that it is meeting with great favor it
evidenced by the comments of the in
fluential papers throughout the state,
some of which are as follows:
Mr. Waiiamaker's Candidacy.
Hon. John Wanumakcr has formally
announced his candidacy for the seat In
the United States senate and the people
will watch the battle for this great honor
with consuming interest. Mr. Wana
maker has a largo public following, is the
choice of a large number of Pennsyl
vanlans. and his election would be highly
satisfactory to the Republican party of the
state. His pre-eminent fitness for the re
sponsible place makes his candidacy of Im
portance, for with a man of his caliber In
the highest legislative body in the land
tho Keystone state would be ably repre
sented.
Mr. Wanamaker is peculiarly fitted for
such a post by reason of his ability as a
public speaker, his wide acquaintance
with men and measures and the business
knowledge he ha* acquired, both In his
capacity as a merchant and in publlo life.
His unquestioned Americanism likewise
makes him a popular candidate, and If
the people'* representatives at Harrisburg
should elect hiin, the action will be in
dorsed throughout tho Keystone state.—

Wanamaker represents tho legitimate
business interests of the country, and his
strong mental grasp and remarkable ex
ecutive ability are the qualities most
needed In public atTalrs. The era of the

Mr. Wnnamakeris a man of remarkable
business acumen and of considerable ex
perience In public affairs, uml Represents
the highest type of American citizenship

Is the result more of popular demand on
