We are now to know for six days 1ft
Idvance what we may expect the
aeather to be. The United States
weather bureau has had one of It* me-
teorologists at work for a long time
making foreparts for several day*
•bead, and he Iiub been bo successful
that he Ib to continue the work, and
the bureau will publish his predictions,
lie has lieen enabled to mako tho pre-
dictions by receiving news of tho at-
mospheric conditions prevailing over
almost the whole of the northern hem-
isphere. The bureau has lately mada
arrangements to receive daily reports
from the Russlnn meteorological oerv-
Ice, aud from the west coast of Eu-
rope. from the West Indies, from Der-
muda,. tho Azores, Bahama and Hono-
lulu. In a few months reports will be
received from the Interior of Alaska,
and within a year from Iceland. With
Information of the atmospheric condi
lions within and around the arctic cir-
cle, It will be possible to forecast pret-
ty clearly the place of tho meeting of
the alr-currentB from the south with
those from tho north, with a conse-
quent Increase In accuracy of all
weather forecasts. Rain and snow are
caused, as the reader knows, when a
cold air-current meets a warm current
saturated with moisture. Therefore
the more one can learn about the ex-
istence and direction of tho air move-
ments the more accurately can he pre-
dict storms.

Wages of Skilled Labor.
The quarterly bulletin of the state
labor department of New York. Just
published, shows that the rute of
wages for skilled labor Is the highest
•n record in New York. The returns
tre based on a third of a million hands
in factories, stores, hotel and railway
service and construction work. They
•how tho average earning as $S12 for
the first quarter of 1900, or three dol-
lars a day when employed, as against
1187 for the same quarter of last year
snd $2.8G a day then. Wages liavo In-
creased and lost time has lessened.
The New York World, which sumniar
Izes these figures, says the Ill-pal',
trades are Included like clothing mal -
ei-B and cigurmakers, ns well as the
well paid like printers, builders and
railroad men. The high wage trades
averaged $X47 a day, with only four
days lost time. Additionally a plumb-
ers' union in the city Is now striking
for $5..'5 n day, and there was a gen-
eral advance in building trades wages
that went Into effect the first of May,
which does not show In this quarterly
report. The average throughout the
state Is not bo high as In the city. Tho
reverse of the picture Is that rents and
the price of foods have risen, in al-
most evory growing city of the state
rents have increased sharply, while
every other necessity of life Is higher
than It was five years ago.
A Memory for Faces.
It is fairly well known that King
Edward has a remarkably good mem-
ory for a faco or a voice, for he has
given evidence of this on many occas-
ions. An Instance which a Marlenbad
correspondent gives is as much Illus-
trative of his diplomatic friendliness,
perhaps, as of his mental retentlve-
ness. Ills majesty went Into the post
office there to dispatch a telegram. He-
hind the counter was a man who sa-
luted respectfully. "Why," exclaimed
the king, looking up suddenly, "It Is
Payne," and he shook the hand of the
gratified official with every Blgn of cor-
diality. Twelve of fourteen years ago,
It appears, the postal official was a
page at Sandringham, and King Ed-
ward renewed the acquaintance de-
lightedly. "Bring your wife to see
me," said the king, when he learned
that his former servant was married,
and he chatted at some length before
he left the office. The young man In-
troduced his wife accordingly, and re-
ceived from his majesty a signed pho-
tograph.
Sergei Nlcolalevltch Mendelson, a
Russian Journalist and political prison
er, lost both Ills arms and legs In an
accident at Odessa. With rare deter-
mination he learned to write by hold-
ing the penholder between his teeth.
Removing to St. Petersburg he started
an advanced radical newspaper. A
few months ago the paper was sup-
pressed and the armless and legless
editor Imprisoned. His utterly helpless
condition left him absolutely at the
mercy of the brutal prison wardens.
His punishment has now been com-
muted to close arrest in his own house.

CHAPTER III.—Continued.
"We'll llx It up later, Dlackiock,"
said he.
"All right," said I. And from that
minute 1 wan almost silent. It was
something In her tone and manner
that silenced me. I suddenly realized
that I wasn't making as good an Im-
pression as I had been flattering my-
self.
When a man has money and Is will-
ing to spend It, he can readily fool
himself Into Imagining he gets on
grandly with women. But I bad bet-
ter grounds than that for thinking
myself not unattractive to them, as a
rule. Women had liked me when I
had nothing; women had liked me
when they didn't know who 1 was.
I felt that this woman did not like
me. And yet. by the way she looked
at me in spite of her efforts not to do
so, I could tell that I had some sort
of unusual Interest for her. Why
didn't she like me? She made me feel
the reason. I didn't belong to her
world. My ways and my looks offend-
ed her. Sho disliked me a good deal;
she feared me a little. She would
have felt safer If she had been grati-
fying her curiosity, gazing In at me
through the bars of a cage.
Sam—not without hesitation, as I
recalled afterward—left me with her,
when I sent him to bring her brough-
am up to the Broadway entrance. As
she and I were Btandlug there alone
He smiled—my notion of honesty
alwayB amused Mm. "As you please,"
he said, with a shrug. Then 1 saw a
serious look—Just a fleeting flash of
warning—behind his smiling mask;
and he added carelessly; "Be careful
about your own personal play. I
doubt If Textile can be put any
higher."
It must have been my mood that
prevented tlioso words from making
tho Impression on me they should
have made. Instead of appreciating
at once and at Its full value this char-
acteristic and amazingly friendly sig-
nal of caution, 1 showed how stupidly
Inattentive I was by saying: "Some-
thing doing? Something new?"
But he had already gone further
than Ills notion of friendship war-
ranted. So he replied: "Oh, no.
Simply that everything's uncertain
nowadays."
My mind had been all this time on
those Manasquale mining properties.
I now said: "Has Roebuck told you
that 1 had to buy those mines on my
own account?"
"Ye3," he said. He hesitated, and
again ho gave me a look whose mean-
ing came to me only when It was too
late. "I thtuk, Ulacklock, you'd bet-
ter turn them over to me."
"I can't," 1 answered. "I gave my
word."
"As you please," said he.
Apparently the matter didn't Inter-
waltlng In silence, 1 turned on her i est him. He began to talk of the per-
middenly, and blurted out: "You don't
llko me."
She reddoned a little, smiled slight-
ly. "What a qualni remark!" said
she.
I looked straight at her. "But you
shall."
Our oyes mot. Her chin came out
a little, her eyebrows lifted. Then,
In scorn of herself as well as of me,
she locked herself In behind a frozen
haughtiness that ignored me. "Ah,
hero Is the carriage," she said. I fol-
lowed her to tho curb; she Just
touched my hand, Just nodded her
fascinating little head.
"See you Saturday, old man," called
her brother friendlily. My lowering
face had alarmed him.
"That party Is off," said I, curtly.
And I lifted my hat and strode away.
As I had formed the lip.blt of dis-
missing the disagreeable, I soon put
her out of my mind. But she took
with her my Joy lu the taste of things.
I couldn't get hack my former keen
satisfaction in all I had done and
was doing. The luxury, the tangible
evidences of my achievement, no long-
er gave me pleasure; they seemed to
add to my Irritation.
I worked myself up, or rather, down,
to such a mood that when my office
boy told me Mr. Langdon would like
me to come to Ills office as soon as
It was convenient, I snapped out:
"The hell he does! Tell Mr. Langdon
I'll be glad to see him here whenever
he calls." That was stupidity, a pre-
mature assertion of my right to be
treated as an equal. I had always
gone to Langdon. and to any other
of tho rulers of finance, whenever I
had got a summons. For, while I
was rich and powerful, I held both
wealth and power, In a sense, on suf- |
feranee; I knew that, so long as 1
had no absolute control of any great
department of Industry, these rulers
could destroy me should they decide
that they needed my holdings or were
not satisfied with tny use of my
power. I was surprised when Lang-
don appeared lu my office a few min-
utes later.
He was a talltsh, slim man, care-
fully dressed, with a bored, weary
look and a slow, bored way of talk-
ing. 1 had always said that if I had
not been myself I should have wished
to be Langdon.
His expression, as he came into my
office, was one of cynical amusement,
as if he were saying to himself: "Our
friend Blackloel; lias caught tho swoll-
en head at la.it." Not a suggestion
of 111 humor, of resentment at my Im-
pertinence—for. In the circumstances,
I had been guilty of an Impertinence.
Just languid, amused patience with
the frailty of a friend. "I see," said
he, "that you have got Textile up to
85."
He was the head of the Textile
trust, which had been built by his
brother-in-law and hau fallen to him
In the confusion following his broth-
er-in-law's death. As ho was Just then
needing some money for his share in
the National Coal undertaking, he had ;
directed me to push Textile up toward |
par and unload him of two or three
hundred thousand shares—he, of
course, to repurchase the shares after
he had taken profits and Textile h?.d
dropped back to its normal 60.
"I'll have it up to 98 by the middle
of next month," said I. "And there
I think we'd belter stop."
"Stop at about 90," said he. "That
will givo me all I find I'll need for
this Coal business. I don't want to be
both«"ed with hunting up an Invest-
ment."
I shook tny head. "I must put It tip
to within a point or two of par," I de-
clared. "In my public letter I've been
saying It would go above 95, and I
B&v«r deceive my public."

"Why Mf I liked.
"Oh—I dont know. You ee—the
fact la—well, they're a lot of old
fogies up there. You don't want to
bother with that push. Matt. Take
my adv.lce. Do business with them,
but avoid them socially."
"I want to go In there," I Insisted.
"I have my owu reasons. You put
me up."
"I tell you, It'd be no use." he re-
plied, In a tone that Implied he wished
to hear no more of the matter.
"You put me up," 1 repeated. "And
if you do your best, I'll get In all right.
I've got lots of frlei)ds there. And
you've got three relatives in the com-
mittee on membeif-Jp."
At this he gavi pe a queer, sharp
glance—a little fi .ht In it.
1 laughed. "You see, I've been look-
ing Into it, Sam. I never take a Jump
till I've measured It."
"You'do better wait a few years,
until—" he began, then stepped and
turned red.
"Until what?" said I. "I want you
to speak frankly."
"Well, you've got a lot of enemies—
a lot of fellows who've lost money In
deals you've engineered. And they'd
say all sorts of things."
"I'll take care of that," said I, quite
easy In mind. "Mowbray Langdon's
president, isn't he? Well, he's my
closest friend." I spoke quite hon-
estly. It silows how simple-minded I
was In certain ways that I had never
once noted the Important circum-
stance that tills "closest friend" had
never Invited me to his house, or any-
where where I'd meet his up-town as-
sociates at Introducing distance.
Sam looked surprised. "Oh, in that
case," he said, "I'll see what can be
done." Hut his tone was not quite cor
dial enough to satisfy me.
To stimulate him and to give him
an earnest of what I Intended to do
for him, when our little social deal
had been put through, I showed him
how he could win $10,000 in the next
three days. "And you needn't bother
about putting up margins," said I, as
I often had before. "I'll take care of
that."
He stammered a refusal and went
out; but he came back within an hour,
and, In a strained sort of way, accept
ed my tip and offer.
"That's sensible," said I. "When

or so, lie drifted away. "I envy you
your enthusiasm," he said, pausing In
my doorway. "Wherever 1 am, 1 wish
I wore somewhere else. Whatever
I'm doing, I wish 1 were doing some-
thing else. Where do you get all this
Joy of the light? What the devil are
you lighting for?"
He didn't wait for a reply.
I thought over my situation steadily
for several days. I went down to my
country place. I looked everywhere
among all my belongings, searching,
searching, restless, impatient. At last
I knew what ailed me—what the lack
was that yawned so gloomily from
everything I had once thought beauti-
ful, had once found sufficient. I was
in the midst of the splendid, terraced
pansy beds my gardeners had Just set
out; I stopped short and slapped my
thigh. "A woman!" I exclaimed.
"That's what I need. A woman—the
right sort of woman—a wife!"

"RESPECTA-
A CANDIDATE FOR
BILITY."
To handle this new business proper-
ly I must put myself in position to
look the whole field over. I must get
In line and In touch with "respecta-
bility." When Sam Ellersly came in
for his "rations," I said: "Sam, I
want you to put me up at the Trav-
elers Cluli."
"The Travelers!" echoed he, with
a blank look.
"The Travelers," said I. "It's about
the best of the big clubs, Isn't It?
And It has as members most of the
men I do business with and most of
those I want to get into touch with.''
lie laughed. "It can't be dnn "
will you attend to the matter at the
Travelers? 1 want to be warned so
I can pull my own set ot wires in con-
cert."
"I'll let you know," he answered,
hanging his head.
1 didn't understand his queer ac-
tions then. Though I was an expert
in finance, I hadn : yet made a study
of that other game—the game of
"gentleman." Aud I didn't know
how seriously [ the frauds and fakirs
who play it take it and themselves.
I attributed his confusion to a ridicu-
lous mock modesty he had about ac-
cepting favors; it struck me as being
particularly silly on this occasion, be-
cause for once he was to give as well
as to take.
He didn't call for his profits, but
wrote asking me to mail him the
check for them. I did so, putting in
the envelop with it a little jog to
his memory on the club matter. I
didn't see him again for nearly a
month; and though I searched and
sent, I couldn't get his trail. On open-
ing day at Morris Park, I was going
along the passage behind the boxes
in the grand stand, on my way to the
paddock. I wanted to see my horse
that was about to run for the Sal-
magundi Sweepstakes, and to tell my
jockey that I'd give him $15,000, in-
stead of $10,000, if he won—for I had
put quite a bunch down.
In one of the boxes I spied my shy
friend, Sammy. He was looking bet-
ter than I Jiad ever seen him. Less
heavy-eyed, less pallid and pasty, less
like if man who had been shirking bed
and keeping up on cocktails and cold
baths. He was at the rear of the box,
talking with t lady and a gentleman
As toom m I mw thit4My, 1 km
what It «ii that had been hiding at
the bottom ot my miud aud rankling
there.
Luckily 1 was alone; ever since that
lunch I had been cutting loose from
the old crowd—from all Its women,
and from all Its men except two or
three real friends who were good fel-
lows straight through, in spite of their
having madj* the mistake of crossing
the dead line between amateur
"sport" and professional. I leaned
over and tapped Sammy on the shoul-
der.
He glanced round, and when he saw^
me, looked as if I were a policeman
who had caught him In the act.
"Howdy. Sam?" said I. "It's been
so long since I've seen you that I
couldn't resist tho temptation to in-
terrupt. Hope your friend'U excuse
me. Howdy do, Miss Ellersly?" And
I put out my hand.
She took It reluctantly Sh was
giving me a verjr unpleasant look-
as If she were seeing, not somebody,
but some thing she didn't care to sec
or were seeing nothing at all. I likei
that look; I liked the woman whe
had It In her to ghe It. She made
me feel that she was difficult and
therefore worth while, and Jhat's
what all we human beings are in busi-
ness for—to make each other feel
that we're worth while.
"Just a moment," said Sam, red as
a cranberry and stuttering. And he
made a motion to come out of the box
and Join me. At the same time Miss
Anita and the other fellow began to
turn away.
But I was not the man to be cheated
In that fashion. I wanted to see her,
and I compelled her to see it and to
feel it. "Don't let me take you from
your friends," said I to Sammy. "Per-
haps they'd like to come with you
and me down to look at my horse.
I can give you a good tip—he's bound
to win. I've had my boys out on the
rails every nioriring at the trials of all
the other possibilities. None of 'em's
In it with Mowghll."
"Mowghli!" said the young lady—
she had begun to turn toward me as
soon as I spoke the magic word "tip."
There may be men who can resist
that word "tip" at the race track, but
there never was a woman.
"Mowghli!" said Miss Ellersly.
"What a quaint name!"
"My trainer gave It," said I. "I've
got a second son of one of those
broken-down English nobleruen at the
hejd of my stables. He's trying to
get money enough together to be able
to show up at Newport and take a
shy at an heiress."
At this the fellow who was fourth
In our party, and who had been giv-
ing me a nasty, glassy stare, got as
red as was Sammy. Then I noticed
that he was an Englishman, and I all
but chuckled with delight. However,
I said: "No offense intended," and
clapped him on the shoulder with a
friendly smile. "He's a good fellow,
tny man a.'ilj A.sews—a—i(4
about horses."
Miss Ellersly bit her Up and col-
ored, but I noticed also that her eyes
were dancing.
Sam introduced the Englishman to
me—Lord Somebody-or-otlier, 1 forget
what, as I never saw him again. I
turned like a bulldog from a toy ter-
rier and was at Miss Ellersly again.
"Let me pit a little something on
Mowghli for you," said I. "You're
bound to win—and I'll see that you
don't lose. I know how you ladies
hate to lose."
That was a bit stiff, as I know well
enough now. Indeed, my Instinct
would have told me better then, if I
hadn't been so used to the sort of
women that jump at such an offer,
and If I hadn't been casting about so
desperately and in such confusion for
some way to please her. At any rate,
a hardly deserved her sudden frozen
look. "I beg pardon," I stammered,
ind I think my look at her must have
been very humble—for me.
The others in the box were staring
round at us. "Come on," cried Sam
dragging at my arm, "let's go."
"Won't you come?" I said to his sis
ter. I shouldn't have been ablo to keep
my state of mind out of my voice, If
I had tried. And I didn't try.
' Trust the right sort of woman ti
j see the right sort of thing In a man
through any and all kinds of barriers
of caste and manners and breeding.
Her voice was much softer as she
said: "I think I must stay here.
Thank you. Just the same."
As soon as Sam and I were alone,
I apologized. "I hope you'll tell your
sister I'm sorry for that break," said I
"Oh, that's all right," he answered
easy again, now that we were away
from the others. "You meant well—
and motive's the thing."
"Motive—hell!" cried I In my anger
at myself. "Nobody but a man's God
knows his motives: he doesn't even
know them himself. I judge others
by what they do, and I expect to be
judged in the same way. I see I've
got a lot to learn." Then I suddenly
remembered the Travelers Club, aud
asked him what he'd done about It.
"I—I've been—thinking it over,"
said he. "Are you sure you want to
run the risk of an ugly cropper.
Matt?"
I turned him round so that we were
facing each other. "Do you want to
do me that favor, or don't you?" I
demanded.
"I'll do whatever you say," he re-
plied. "I'm thinking only of your in-
terests."
"Let me take care of them," said I.
"You put me up at that club to-mor-
row. I'll send you the name of a
seconder not later than noon."
"Up goes your name," he said.
"But don't blame me for tho ooii; j-
quences."

Washington, Dec. 10.—A letter ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt and
members of his cabinet by Bellamy
Storer was made pabile Saturday In
which he socks to show that his re-
moval from the post of ambassador
to Austria was without sufficient
reason.
Mr. Storer was dismlBsed because
of his wife's supposed iaterfereuoe In
affairs of the Roman Catmilic church
and her alleged misuse of letter*
from the president. It was . ; •
charged that Mrs. Storer had med.tled
with French politics by taking part
In anti-republican Intrigues to pro
mote the marriage of Victor lloua
parte with a member of the Orleana
family. Both of these cBarges Ml
Storer denies and, on the other hand
declares that the president's interest
in the selection ot Archbishop ire
land as a cardinal was not ilue to
Storer or to Storer's wife but to the
president alone.
President Roosevelt Sunday nighv
made public a long letter address to
Secretary Root giving correspondence
between the Presidont and former
Ambassador Bellamy Storer at Vienna
and Mrs Storer, in which he says that
Mr. Storer's refusal to answer hl
letters and the publication of various
private letters Justified the ambnssa
dor's removal; that Mr. Storer's pub-
lication of private correspondence was
peculiarly ungentlemanly, and that h
(the President) had stated with ab-
solute clearness his position, the rea
son why it was out of the question for
him as President, to try to get any
archbishop made cardinal, though ex-
pressing his admiration for Arch-
bishop Ireland as well as leaden ot
other denominations.
