John Gregory Copyright, 1901, hy A. S. BichardsOn “It’s affectation—nothing else!” ex claimed little Miss Grayson, dropping her morning paper to stare after the tall, slender figure following the' path to the beach. “She dropped her handkerchief this morning near the dining room door^ and when I called her attention to the fact she merely said, ‘Thank you,’ and hurried on before I had a-chance to say another word.” This in an in jured tone from Miss Berger, who was sorting embroidery silks. “You .should be grateful that she even thanked you,” Dan Marloye re- pUed idly. “She despises men—doesn’t want to meet any one.” “Imagine a summer girl who despises men!” murmured Dan. “Perhaps she wants to bury herself from the world and nurse a bruised and tortured heart,” suggested Miss Allen, who was tall, angular and tailor made in carriage and dress. “Perhaps she has a past she wants to forget,” suggested Miss Grayson, a bit maliciously. Walter Raymond hard ly heard the gossip. He was back in the city. The sliarp clang of the ele vated trains rose above the laughter and raurmur of voices on the porch. He was thinking of the girl who morn ing after morning had boarded the same train with him at One Hundred and Sixth street. He remembered how he had learned to watch for hep, to study her little tricks of catching up vagrant locks of bail’, of holding her skirt and swinging her purse.. He re membered how disappointed he had been on several occasions when he had missed that train. She never missed it. Then he pushed back his hat. The figure was disappearing beyond the line of gray rocks leading to the cove. He wondered if, after all, it was not Pretty Bessie Kavanagh was not a man hater on general principles; nei ther was she recovering from the after effects of a heart tragedy. She. was simply exhausted by ten mouths of un remitting, e.xacting service as* private secretary to a prominent insurance man, who was more dependent than he cared to admit upon his capable stenographer. Three days before, when the train had rounded Pigeon Cove, Bessie Kav anagh had given a gasp of delight and had felt a wild desire to stretch her arms out to the waves beating in sul- leii solitude on the curving beach. “Think of it! Three long, beautiful weeks with tb.at magnilieeut sea! Ob, I know it will sing me to sleep tonight!” The hostess of Sea Cliff cottage fol lowed the new arrival to her room in the “Jj.” She was a tired, busy soul, and somehow she had liked the brief, businesslike letters Miss Kavanagh had written. “I hope youTl be comfortable, Miss Kavanagh, and have a good night's rest. There’s a sailing party starting out early tomorrow morning, and”— “Thank you, but I’m a wretched sail or. I think I’ll be perfectly satisfied with the beach.” “Well, youTl get acquainted after a bit. There’s some real nice young peo ple here .this year.” Miss Kavanagh, hesitated a minute, then with a winning smile replied: “Thank you again, but I ’ll consider it a great favor, Jilrs, Brown, if yon don’t introduce me to the other boarders. What I need is to he alone—away from people—if I am to go back to my work rested. You won't think me ungra cious, will you? But, really, if oUce I meet them, you know. I ’ll be drawn in to the swim.” Tired little Mrs. Brown left the room feeling half dazed. Here was a new boarder who was satisfied with just the sea. She gave-strict orders that no one was to share with Miss Kavanagh the smaU, round table in the bay win dow of the dining room, and the girl Who wanted to be let alone was quite rontent until she caught Walter Eay- nond gravely regarding her from the I'U’ther end of the long dining room, tt’here had she seen that face before? Oh, yes, and she almost smiled as ihe rememliered. It was the morning she lost her purse. He had followed her to the platform with the trifle ol leather and silver mountings. He had missed the ti-ain, too, and had beer Obliged to wait for the next one—ai; for her purse. Then she bent her head to catch thi roar of the ocean and forgot Raymond and his courtesy. The days rolled on happily, peace fully, for Bessie Kavanagh. For Wal ter Raymond it was a fevei-ish proces sion of hours that brought him evei nearer to the end of his vacation, witt no prospect of meeting Miss Kava- uagh. He scorned the ordinary means of making a seaside acquaintance The landlady had told him quietly, bul iSi-mly, that Miss Kavanagh did nol care to be inti’Oduccd. to any one. Ha was beginning to feel that, after alL it was not fate when the tdegrau appeared. 4 Not that A was the first teiegi-am Alhss -E-avanai^ had received.^ Her employer hpd ^ e n oJ)liged to. consult l 1 .^ day ever since her arrival Raymond was smoking on the shady side of the porch. The messenger toss ed him the yellow envelope, saying: “Answer-an’ tell her to be quick. Got another message here for the Bur ton cottage.” Raymond’s feet came down from the railing to the porch with a bang. The cottage was wonderfully quiet. Ho finally found Mrs. Brown in the kitch- “Oh, dear, another telegram for Miss Kavanagh. And Albert’s gone to the store. I can’t leave this strawberry jam, or it ’ll burn. Would you mind, Mr. Raymond, just to take that to hei room?” Would he mind? Perhaps it was fate, after all, in the form, of a dusty messenger boy. A minute latter he was stalking down the cool, dark enti'y leading to Miss Kavanagh’s door. Hia knock was answered by a gentle ‘‘Yes.” “A telegram, and the boy is waiting for a reply,” he called rather hoarsely, for he felt oddly nervous. The door opened just wide enough for the message to he placed in a tanned, but j'l-aeeful band. There were a rustle of skirts, the scratch of a pen, then a quick step toward the dooiv The same hand, a prettily curved wrist and a half bare arm, over which fell a lace ruffle, ivere thrust through the narro-w api ‘Thank you, Albert; there’s the an swer. The dime is for yourself.” By desperate effort Raymond re frained from bending over to kiss the arm so temptingly close. “Thank you. Miss Kavanagh, but this is not Albert. It’s IMr. Raymond, hut I ’d like to keep the dime—if”— A gasp, and the door opened far enough to show a blushing, face and a mass of tumbled, waving hair. “Oh, Mr. Raymond, I—I am so sorry —I beg ydur pardon.” Then remember ing her tumbled locks, she shut the door fast, and whispered through the keyhole: “I—I’ll see you some other The messenger boy departed with wonder In his soul. Raymond had tipped him 50 cents, an unheard of extravagance at Pigeon Cove. But aiiss Kavanagh’s dime formed no part of the exorbitant tip, for, polished and emblazoned with a certain monogram, it now graces Raymond’s watch chain. -And Raymond says that Mrs. Brown of Sea Cliff cottage is surely coming to the wedding, for if she had not been stirring strawberry jam and sent him to deliver yiiss Kavauagh’s telegram it never would have happened. Which goes to show that Mr. Raymond has transferred his faith from fate to “tips.” ■Wlien Tennyson Was Rcbnlcecl. Little as Tennyson cared for society, he was sometimes to he met in houses which interested him, and one of these was the Duchess of Bedford’s, in Eatm square. It was at a party there on< evening that he saw a certain grea lady of whom he had heard, biit whon- he did not know. He desired to be in trodiiced to her or perhaps—for hi ways Avere sometimes regal—desire that she might be presented to him. 1 whichever Avay It was the ceremouj took place, and Tennyson’s second re mark AA'as this question: “Oh, Lady Blank, do I knoAv Lord Blank?” The person about whom he thus inquired was a peer who, though young, had won much distinction in public life and was widely knoAVii in private. His v'ife AA'as devoted to him and jealous of any word which sounded like disparagement of his pusitiun or indif ference to his renown. She looked Ten nyson in the face and ansAvered, with perfect composure of manner: “I am sure, Lord Tennyson, I can’t saj’. I never hoard him mention your name in my life.” For a moment the poet was staggered by this straight hit from the shoulder, but he had the good sense and good temper to take it well.

Wliat a. Jealo-ns Wife Poimd. A Fayette woman suspected that her husband Avas in the habit of kissing the hii-ed girl and resolA-ed to detect him in. the act. Saturday night she saAV him pass quietly into the kitchen. The hired girl was out and the kitchen dark. The jealous wife took a few matches in her hand and, hastily plac ing a shawl over her head, as the hired girl often did, entered the back door, and immediately she was seized and kissed and embraced in an ardent man ner. With heart almost bm-sting the wife prepared to administer a terrible rebuke to the faithless spouse, and, tearing herself away from his fond embrace, she struck a match and stood face to face with—the hired man.—Sal isbury (Kan.)

The muster rolls of the civil war show a number of cases of soldiers who were discovered to be women. One of the most remarkable women was Christian Cavenagh, who lived in England in the nineteenth centm-y. She was married and had three children. Her husband was caiTied off to Hol land, Avhere he had to enlist as a pri vate ■ soldier. His wife dressed as a zaan and enlisted so as to be near her husband. She was wounded at the bat tle of Landen, made a prisoner by the French and carried to St. Germain-en- Laye, where she remained until she was exchanged. Then she quarreled and fought a duel -with her sergeant and was transferred to another regi ment. Again she was wounded a t Ra- millies, when her secret was discover ed. 'She was, howejer, perroitted to remain A\dth the regiment as a cook. Many English officers recall the ease of “Dr. James Barry.” This woman seiwed In the British army about fifty years ago as a surgeon at the Cape, at Malta and at Barbados. At the Cape “he” fought a duel with an officer who had called “him” a woman. Mrs. Liudley, the wife of a soldier, went through some of the sharpest en gagements of the civil war. She en listed in Company D, Sixth Ohio cav alry, and fought at Fort Magruder, Hanover Court House, Bull Run, Autie- tam and Boonshoro.. She is said to be still living and the mother of several children. Christina, queen of Sweden, was edu cated and'dressed like a boy from her birth because her father was disap pointed at not having a son. She was more a king than a queen and after four years of rule resigned her crown and went off to amuse herself in Eu rope. She Avas dressed in men’s clothes and acted as uproariously as any man who ever owned his clothes by right of sex. She was only twenty-eight at the time.—SaAmnnah News. BOILING IT DOWN. A ValnaMc Lesson In flie Gentle Art of Omitting. “It was this way,” Avas explaining a quite fresh and young appearing gentleman to a mucli older companion as I took a seat near them in the res taurant. “I thought that It was quite a clever short story, and as the pro fessor had asked me to read it to him for the purpose of criticism he listened patiently for the thirty minutes that it took me to go through it. “ ‘Good for the first writing,’ he said, ‘but you must learn the a rt of omitting. Yon have unnecessary sentences. Find them, omit them and come and read it again.’ “I followed his advice, and the next time it took me tAventy minutes to read it. “ ‘Better,’ he said. ‘Try if again, for there is more yotl can omit.’ “I didn’t show the annoyance that I felt, hut did some more cutting and condensing. Then I read it to him again in fifteen minutes. “ ‘That is nearer to the correct thing,’ he said, Avith an approving nod, ‘but there is chance for a little more prun- ' “It was with an effort that I re strained. myself, but knoAving that he is an atithority in literary matters for the Ibii’d time I went to the slaughter of the innocents and, returning the next day, read it to him in ten minutes. “ ‘That is something like,’ he ex claimed, slapping me - on the back. ‘Another little omitting seance will fix it’ “ ‘This is a little too much,’ I an- SAvered as I seized my manuscript, with a show of feeling. ‘You had bet ter tell me to omit eA-ery word .of i t ’ “ ‘That’s it, luy boj’, that’s it,’ he re- lilicd. ‘it is too much. Omit the rest, and you will neA’er hear a Word of ad verse criticism.’ “I’ll he hanged if I didn’t take his adA’lce again and throw the story in the wastebasket.”—New York Herald. Tlie Extinct Kortliern “Sea Cow.” In the year 1754 the Bering explor ers discovered gigantic species of ryti- utc, or northern sea cow. These enor mous manatees AA’ere similar In gener al habits to those of tlie South Ameri can coast and were from twenty to thh-ty feet in length and from ten to twenty feet in girth. They were very stupid, harmless beasts and liA'ed by browsing on seaweeds and other ma rine growths near the land. The sail ors AA'ere not slow in finding out that a sea cow steak beat seal meat “all hollow.” From 1754 until 1768 they were the principal food of the sailors and explorers on our western coast. This being the case, it is not at all sur prising that the northern sea coav , nev er a very numerous species, should be come extinct in the short space of four teen years. The last of the giant man atees Avas killed in September, 1768, a few months less than fourteen years after the discovery of the first one. A \Wise Answer, The shah once asked a group of - court iers whom they thought the greater man—himself or his father. At first he could get no reply to so dangerous a question, the answer to which might cost the courtiers their heads. At last a wily old courtier said, “Yonr father, sire, for, though you are equal to your father in all other respects, in this he is superior to you—that he had a great er son than any you haA^e.” “The vessel is on the rocks!” shouted the captain, thrusting his head in the ship’s saloon. “That’s good news,” remarked the idiotic passenger who was taking Ms first trip abroad. “So long as we are on the rocks we can’t sink.”—Ohio State Journal.

Tlie Notorious Red Light Boss Is One of Color’s Warmest Supporters, Devery has been recognized as one of the powers not only of Tammany Hall, but one of the advisers of the Democratic party on state affairs. On Wednesday afternoon Candidate Coler had a conference with the for mer deputy police chief on matters re lating to the campaign. It Avas at the Hoffman House, and Mr. Devery was accompanied by Mr. Sebneider, who is Big Bill’s lieutenant and one of the managers of his campaign in the re cent struggle for the leadership. It chanced that Mr. Hill had just been in conference with his candidate. It was the big chief and Big Tim Sul livan of Tammany and John L. Shea and Hugh McLaughlin of Kings coun ty who were the only four notable figm-es at Saratoga who wanted Mr. Coler nominated besides Mr. Hill. Mr. Coler had attended Big Tim’s picnics, and when IMr. Coler was coquetting with Tammany and the fusionists with the idea of becoming the mayoralty candidate of either last fall it was an nounced in Tammany circles that if Big Tim pulled off Coler’s nomination for mayor Coler would make Big Bill the head of the police department. After the meeting of Coler and Dev ery the big chief said: “Of course I am for Coler. I have been for Coler for the last four years, and I was one of the men at Saratoga who insisted upon his nomination. Of course I knew that Hill wanted him, but that didn’t make any. difference to me, because I haA^e always been the friend of Sir. Coler, and so has Big Tim Sullivan and a lot of us.” TRUSTS‘ and t h e TARIFF. Speaker Henderson’s reasons for de clining a renomination to congress de serve and Avill command wide atten tion. He says in explanation of his letter of withdraAval: “You cannot kill the trusts by apply ing free trade without killing our i industries. The foreign trusts are fighting the American trusts, and I don’t believe that for the purpose of controlling American trusts we should make a market for foreign trusts, thereby crushing out the industries of this country.” Nothing is more certain or more oh- Aious than that the trusts cannot he killed or their eAdls cured by reducing or abolishing the duties on their pro ductions. The assertion that such ef fects could be caused in that Avay is based upon the assumption that the tariff alone has made the trusts possi ble, Avhich is either ignorance or will ful misstatement. The oi-igiuator and home of trusts is free trade England, Where they exist in larger uumbers to day than they do in this country and about AA'hioh there are the same com plaints uttered that are heard here. At the recent congress of English trade unions a set of resolutions Avas adopt ed which opened with this preamble: “In AieAv of the colossal growth of trusts and combines of speculative cap italists and consequent concentration of capital and monoj-.oly of industry, this congress foresees the grave danger to the nation and the toilers of dislo cation of trade, stoiipage of work and distress of Avage earners.” That is pretty conolusiA’’e GA'idence that a high protective tariff i,s not necessary to the existence of trusts. Now, if all the article,8 iirotliiccd by trusts in this country were to be fint on •the free list v,'liat would Ije the re.sult? We AA’ill go for ansAver to tiiis question to the columns of a Democratic free trade neAvspaper, the Journal of Com merce of thi,s city, which said a few days ap:o: “Eveiw article that is produced by a trust is also produced by outside par ties, some of them of comparatiA'elA' small capital, and it is impracticable to remoA'e i)_rotection from the combina tions it is desired to reg’ulate without removing it from their independent competitors. Besides, price is not the only element iiiA'olved in the trust ques tion, but it is the only point at Avhich a reduction of duties would touch it. The revision of the tariff, AV'heuever it comes, must he to relieve our own con sumers and to open the AA'ay for a lar ger export trade, hut not to punish trusts.”—Commercial AdvcrlLser. I K COLER AT HOME. Hi» Ca-rese-v ns a Benioci-nlie Paper £l> His Own 'fOAvn Scc.-i It. Soon after Xlr. Coler AA'as nominated the NeAv York neAvspapers said that he was not so well kuoAvu “ui) the .state” as he was at hi.s home in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and the Democratic man agers Avere relying upon “his reputa tion as a reformer in the rural dis- ti'icts” to gain him support. It will be instructive for re.sidents north of the Bronx to read -AA-hat is said of Mr. Coler .by the leadW Democratic paper In Brooklyn, where he lives and is well known. The following are por tions of an article published in that paper on Oct. 2: Another peculiar circumstance in his career has been his advocacy of the mo.st radical policies in gOA'ernment while being himself engaged in making a fortune out of the things condemned by the radicals. He is engaged in ex actly the same business as Mr. Shel don, whom the Republicans rejected as a candidate for lieutenant governor. While he has been considered an ar dent churchman, a Sunday school su perintendent and a counselor of young men, he has at the same time been. close to Timothy Dry Dollar Suilivam John B, Sexton, John F. Carroll and men Avho Avere accused of being mueh more responsible than Mr, Croker for the partnership between government and vice and crime. Witness the fact that Sullivan tried to secure Coler’s nomination secretly la.st fall and tlie fact that lie and Big Bill Devery •were tlie earliest advocate* - Jtor Kovemon tiiis year, * ‘ His aesrsn was to st > xar stil* np‘ fcel» Ing that tlie country' Democrats -would liowl for Ills np’minatlon as governor in ISOS. He tlien Iielieved tlicy would lie joined liy tlie Brook lyn men tlironglu the influence of H-agh McLaughlin and that his friends Sullivan, Sexton and even men accused of heing members of the gamhiing syndicate would join the country men and the Broolclyn people in a stampede. It will he recalled that in June, 1900, Jacob W. Mack, a well known hanker, brought cliarges against Coler and asked GoA'ernor Roosei'elt to remove him for Avhat he regarded as a queer award of bonds-to a syndicate in which Coler’s brothers Avere interested. Mack is a reputable man and a member of the chamber of commerce. He charged a breach of ti:ust on the part of the comptroller and gave figures to show that the syndicate, including Cpla-’i brothers and the Produce Exchange Trust company, made about $1,000,000 out of the deal. At any rate, this sale of bonds was made at an extremely low figure. Mack called attention to the fact that previ ously Coler had made a series of at tacks on the city’s credit. The defense made to Mr. Mack’s charges by Mr. Coler was that the law allowed him to make such awards as he considered most advantageous. Governor Roosevelt dismissed the charge on this technical ground. Croker also claimed that Coler was able to “get in on the ground floor” on City Trust company stock by using his power as comptroller. The stock soon sold for 400 per cent, and Mr. Oro- ker said Coler made $200,000 out of the deal. At the tim e Coler admitted all this, but said he paid $200 per share, which is the price a t which aU shares were Issued. It was claimed at the time that this trust company start ed off so well because it was promised city deposits. Mr. Coler was not drawn into the ice trust scandal very much. He was a member of the sinking fund commis sion, which gaA’e the trust exclusive leases and shut out competition. Mr. Coler admitted that at the time he held 4,200 shares of American Ice stock. He is now close to John P. Car- roll, the principal figure in the trust, and is president of a trust company or ganized by Charles W. Morse, former president of the American Ice compa ny. Carroll is a large stockholder in the same company. Bast year, as is well known, Mr. Co ler made an effort to capture first the fusion nomination and to this purpose secured the support of a certain ele ment in the Citizens’ Union and then the Tammany nomination. He tried to get on the fusion list of eligibles, or at least his friends tried to have him placed. It is claimed by Colonel Og den and others that this was for the purpose of forcing a Tammany nomi nation. At the same time, as has since been learned, he had a compact with Tim Sullivan to secure Tammany del egates enough to unite with Brooklyn and OA’erthrow Croker. Mr. McLaugh lin declined to make an alliance with Sullivan, and so the plan fell through. It is not often that one man is on both sides of a gi-eat moral issue at once, as seems to have been the case with Coler. DeAmr.v, Carroll, Sexton and Sullivan Avere the original Coler boomers this In spite of Ills glowing reform record oonr-ernilig other matters Coler abso lutely declined to express any opinion on the Issues of the last campaign ei ther before or after the nominations Avere made. Members of the fusion organization declared that under the circumstances tliere Avas no reason why he should reoeiA’e their confidence. He declared at the time that the chief is sue Ava.s Ramapo and that red lights, protected gambling and other ques tions have never been referred to by him. The file-i of the ncAA'spapers show that Coles? did not have precedence Kt flla jigltation over the Ramapo contract. 'Tlie matter -was first 'brouglit up by Borough President Grout on June 1, 1898, which was more than a year be fore Coler began his agitation. ‘ At a hearing on June 14,1898, Grout brought out all the facts in connection with the company that liatm ever been pub lished. 1X4100 the contract was finally sprung, Coler kucAV nothing about it and Avas informed of the fact by Mr. Shea. Mr. Grout was at that time in Europe. XVhen he returned, Mr. Grout secured an injunction Avhich prevented the carrying out of the scheme until a bill Avas passed and signed by Gov ernor Odell preventing the contract be ing made. Mr. Coler has been adversely criti cised for his campaign against various Institutions for the care of the poor and sick, hospitals and the like.
