JUST INSTINCT.
Fate yrmt b cat, nml Lpormrd Hcrrlck
ivna a mouiic. Thrro hail been Homo nire
port, bnt Horrick wiw of tlin opinion
timt it rottld not litt liiiicli lnnircr. Ho
hurt run this woy mid Hint wiir, nntl a
thotiannil tiini'8 lio hiwl fancii'tl tlmt ho
ns poiiiH to pwiijip. But iihvnys tlio
Tolvot juiwd, villi the lont;, fhorp rlnwii
pprinplng out of tlii in, liml enui.'ht him
jnut in time. So nt last ho lay still,
pivoting, not knowing which way to
turn.
Ho nn iu a big eily, nil alone. The
peoplo who ntshrtl l,y him were like the
thoughts that whirled tkrotighhlH brnin
they were ahailnwH, and the ererlast
ing train of them had no beginning or
end. Ho could not distinguish the real
men and women whom he saw from
those whom ho merely r.-tner.ibered.
Now and again thero appeared in tho
throng tho fares of the dead. He did not
mind those. But there were others that
ho shrank from.
Ho stood with his back against the
iron fence. In front of Trinity church.
Herrick's haiuU were in bis pockets.
He crumpled n crackling piece of paper,
which meant that he could live several
days longer if he eared to do so. As to
a more extended future, he conld not
picture it. All the lines of his life seem
ed to end in a knot which could by no
means bo ttntied, I ut must merely be
dropped. He remembered that there
were miracles, but ho could not think
of 0110 to wish for.
Ho crossed Broadway mid walked
down Wall street, slowly and with hesi
! tation, fur he hnd no errand. A voice
! cried, "Cab, sir!" almost in his ear. Ho
I turned and ltxtked np ut the man on tho
box.
"Is it possible, "he said to himself,
"that I still look like a gentleman?"
Ho felt toward the cabman as toward
one who had given him a helping hand.
Why not pay tho debt? To3 so would
cost him only a day of his life. He had
a $5 bill in hU pocket.
"Yea," he said. "Take me tip to the
Fifth Avenue hotel. "
It wan the first place that had come
into hu mind. He got into the cab and
snapped tho door. Tho cushioned seat
and the comfortable support for his head
were very refreshing. A fancy came to
him that ho would dine decently and
then fo to a theater. Tho extravagance
would be trifling, for it was really of
small importance whother ho starved to
dcaln on Sunday' or tho following
Wednesday. He was 3a a mood to make
a jivtf of it alt
A rtroug glare from an electric light
struxi down into the carriage and made
Yinible to him a package in brown pa
per that looked as if it might be a sand
wich. The object protruded from under
tho rent. He thought it must be the
cabman's supper which had been hiddeai
in me small locker and had falVin
npnn the floor. The idea that the food
should be spoiled was disagreeable to
Herrick, and so he picked np the lttftio
brown bundle.
It was smaller than ho had snppom),
and it did not feel like bread. But had
it been food and he at tho last panir of
starvation tho touch of it would not
haw scut such a thrill through all bia
frama
He knew that the contents of Chat
package were money. It felt like a mass
of bills folded, awkwardly wrapped up
and fastened with clastic bands.
Through tho brown covering Herrick
oonld xVel tho eritipnesg of the govern
ment paper. The amount might be a
poor man's monthly wages or a noh
man's profit on a great transaction.
As to his own conduct in this matter,
Herrick hnd no doubt whatever. Fate
had thrtrwn thia money into his hauia,
and fate might take it way, bnt not if
he oonld hold on tightly enough. Uia
fingera trembled aa he picked at the
vhvatio hands. Suddenly and withoa
his knowing why the rubber string
vanished with a loud aaap that start 14
him, and the package sprang open om
his knees. He caught a flash of greem
color, and then the cab rolled ontof
light into shadow.
It aeemed a long time before another
light struck in upon him. At the mo
ment when it did so he saw a face close
to the cab door, and he dodged back,
covering the bills with his hands. Bnt
the chanoe passenger on the street taw
nothing. He was thinking of his own
affairs no doubt and had no inkling of
the strange thing that passed so close to
his eyes.
Herrick was himself again in a mo
ment, and he bent forward, eagerly
canning tho bills In hia hands and
counting them feverishly. Thero were
40 of them and each was of the denomi
nation of 1,000.
Throughout the later period of the
young man's misfortunes ho had had
substantially bnt one wish to rest
Rest has many forms, suited to a vast
variety of individual tastes. To Herrick
in his day dreams it had always taken
the form of travel without care. All
pa,ths lie open for a man who has f 40, -000,
nnd there is no reason why care
should sit behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
thought for the person who had lost this
money. Ho did not even speculate upon
the maimer of its loss. It hud pawed
into the cji4Tol of one who needed it,
and that tvns enough.
Ho dih'pow (1 the notes in his pockets
iu the best interests of comfort und safe
ty. Theu ho folded up the brown paper
and pocketed that abso, with a dim con
sciousness timt if it were left iu tho
cub it might get the driver into trouble,
The fellow was honest, no doubt, anS
Herrick did not wish that he should
suffer a wrong. Ho preferred to keep
tho wrapper himself nnd take tho risk
of it until he could find some means of
disposing of it that would be safer than
throwing it out of the cab window.
How to leave tho cab was a question
which concerned him nearly. Ho did
Hot wish to confront the driver again,
for there might lie an investigation,
and a question of identification might
arise, in which case it would be well to
have the man know as little as possible
of Herrick's personal nppearance. He
reflected with satisfaction that the spot
on Wall street where ho had entered the
carriago had been rather dnrk.
Tho cab stopped suddenly, its path
being blocked by a tangle ft vehicles.
Herrick softly put his hand upon tho
catch of the door. It yielded noiselessly;
the door swung open.
Herrick stepped out. Turning back
for an instant, ho perceived the cabman
I sitting upon his box in entire uncon
1 scicmsness cf the fraud that was being
practiced ti;.cn him. Ho was a poor
man and dov.l.lli ss worked hard for all
the money that ho received. Still, it
was reckless to nl tract his atteution
again, especially so after haviug left
tho cab in that strange manner.
There was a way to tho sidewalk
through the press of vehicles. Herrick
saw it from the corner of his eye and
j wbh nbcr.t to take advantage of it. In
! stead. o his surprise, he found himself
I turned toward tho cabman, nnd iinme
I diately ho heard his own voico saying:
"I have decided to get out here. How
much do I owo yon?"
The cabman named his price, nnd
Herrick paid him with the 5 hill which
had been tho stun of his wealth and the
end of it, ko far as he could see, so short
a time before. He counted his change
carefully, remembering that he would
probably have to wait until the next
day before he could break oue of the
thousands. Enough remained to him
from the bill for a supper, a bed and a
brrakfuHt.
When he had found a restaurant, he
ordered a meal and ate it with relish.
It was enchanted food. It was the fare
on an Atlantic liner, tho delicacies of
European hotels and the fruits of the
tropics.
Ho cared littVs for his tied. It would
be no more than n placo to lio and think
of the fnturo. It was many night
since he had really slept. Certainly
with so much xipon his mind he would
not sleep this night, even if he nhould
try. So who ho had been shown to his
room in a laitel ho piled his pillows
against the tiendhoard of the lied and
reclined against them, fully dnwsed. Ho
was very lurppy. No question of right,
or wrong ia what ho had done or what
he expected to do came to torment him.
For a long (rime ho had borate his life
liko a tremendous burden. This had
suddenly clipped from his shoulders,
leaving his natural powers Ihenumbed.
Iu the midst of his first -vision of a
new life he was aroused toy u knocking
at tho door. He started op; bis legs
would haadly support him; ho had no
voice with which to aek mlio was there.
But one arxplunaticn was possible. He
must have been watched Jit the police.
Ho tottered to tho door and gave ut
terance to a hoarse, inarticulate sound.
"Eight o'clock, sir 1" tried a voice
without "'You asked to tin called, sir."
Ho nudied to the window und flung
open the .shutters. Day streamed in,
strong and beautiful. Tho gas flame
puled. He knew that ho bad slopt as he
bad not slept before in years. In the
mysterious depths of his life he felt a
new strength stirring, but it was only
nascent as yet
A bath and a breakfast revived him
still mora. He felt the exhilaration of a
busy day upon which he was entering.
He scanned the papers, bmt so for as he
oonld see tbey had no news of the mon
ey that had been lost He was not con
scious of any excitement du searching
for that nutrs. The fear of detection had
quite left liim. Of all atolen goods,
money is the hardest to recover.
Presently be found himself riding
down town in an elevated railroad
train. He was going to a steamship
office to arrange, for hia journey, theu
to a banker's tot a traveler'heckbook.
His pockets wore bulging with mon
y, but there was something in one of
i tiiem that he couldn't remember to have
I put thore. He pulled it out and found
i it to be the brown paper wrapper that
had contained the money. As he hold it
in his baud it was concealed by his
newspaper. No fellow passenger could
see it, and it was doubly fortunate, be
cause in plain sUht upon the paper
wore the name aud address, "Herbert L.
Graham, 40 Wall struct. "
The train was just stopping at Rector
I street That was the station nearest the
I steamship office. Thrusting tho brown
' paper back in his pocket, he left the
f car and went with tho throng down to
1 the street Ho was thinking about the
accommodations he would choose ou the
steamer. He continued to think of that
and kindred subjects, yot ho turned
north on Broadway instead of south.
. Presently ho found himself asking an
I elevator boy in a big building if he
I knew where Mr. Graham's office was.
1 Mr. Graham bappenqd to be in his
, outer oflice when Herrick entered. Ho
j was pouring a story into tho ear of an
j other gray haired Wall street mau, aud
I Herrick hoard a few words of itsome
1 thing about cabs aud cask und caruless
1 ncss. '
1 "I have found the money that you
lost," said Herriek. "Here it is."
, "Zionl" cried the bunker, clutching
tho bills in his fingers. "My dear fel
low, tell me nil about it."
"There's nothing to tell," replied tho
young man. "I merely found it iu the
cab.
Mr. Graham eyed him a moment in
surprise.
"You take it coolly," J10 said.
"I couldn't takoit nt nil," responded
Herrick, with a feeble smile. "I don't
know why. It was instinct, I mipixxtc.
My ancestors must hnvo been honest
men."
"Upon my word, you nmst take one
of these notes, " said the banker. "I've
offered it in an ad. and"
"I can't do it" said Herrick. "I
don't feel it to be right."
"But, my dear boy," exclaimed the
old man kindly, "I must do something
for yon. I want to, believe me. At least
come back and take lunch with me.
Shall we say 1 o'clock?"
"It will give me great pleasure,"
said Herrick, and, bowing, he turned
away and walked out of the office.

S After throe years of experimental
work an Eniah compaay has stic-
oeeded In producing paper barrels,
which are able to compete favorably
with barrels made of wood. The paper
barrels are usad at present principally
for the carriage of gunpowder, mining
fuses, fruit, flowers, molasses, paint,
cement, tnatahea, chemicals, dyes, as
bestos, sugar, and extrant of meat
The materials used in making the bar
rels are waste jiapor, cardboard and (for
the better quality) old sacks. -
When cardbsard ia used it is soaked or
boiled for six hours, and afterward
treated in the same manner as the other
n-aw material. This is carefully sorted
nd put into m rag engine or beater,

Why Cenaolatea Are Papula.
It is well known that the pressure for .
consulates is greater than for any other ,
class of offices. Various causes contrib
ute to this desire to go abroad. Repre
sentativQ Hitt thinks he has the true I
theory. "It is tho women folks," he '
says. "'You know how it is. Brown or
Jones or Smith, when he has means '
and leisure, likes to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wifo'
aud daughters are filled with their ex
periences. The wholo town is fired with
emulation.

writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
something equally good, bnt it must be

Hitt "are the lives of congressmen

after a new administration comes into

all disposed of, and the disappointed

worthy competitors have been here
long before I came to servo you. It '

think of discommoding them in their '
business. But there is always room (otr
ono more and it gives you more of a
variety in town to select from; and as
competition is tho life of trade, it will
encourage you to a certain extent to
buy your goods at home and save you
the disadvantage of going elsewhere.
So when you are In need of unythlng Id

come In, Inspect my goods, get my
prices und buy your goods where you
can obtain the best goods for the least
money. That is the way I do. I buy
for cosh, sell for cosh and divide the
profits with my customers. Life Is too

und to sell on "tick" at 100 per cent,

ordinary man his lifetime to pay his
bills and then dio a poor man, and to
