The opening of our new Tailoring Emporium has been a great success— FALLIBLE FINITE, and being fallible, of necessity, liable to err in our opinions and expression of them.- Notwithstanding this recognition of our limitations, we occasionally make state- ments and predictions that we regard. as absolutely uncontrovertible — for instance .Such statements as this one:— You cannot afford to remain longer in ignorance of the tailoring possibilities our enormous business, stock and manufacturing facilities place at your disposal. We are “specialists’”—our entire establishment is exclusively devoted to the making of to-order clothes for boys, youths and men. Handling, as we do, every- thing that is dependable in woolens for masculine wear, from the humblest grades to the most luxurious demanded by the exactions of “fin de siecle” tailoring, we es- pecially solicit even very trifling orders from those who have not hitherto dealt with us, and for this eminently cogent reason—small buyers supremely satisfied, soon ex- pand into larger buyers, and the occasional customer, encountering fair treatment, rapidly becomes much less “occasional.” When you want anything in the realms of tailordom, visit us for what you are seeking—the very next time—twill pay you to do so.

I Amid a tornado of excitement the win- ner darted undér the wire, winner by a head. On the grand stand, ladies and gen- tlemen waved handkerchiefs, flourished hats and shotted themselves hoarse. The home stretch and space about the judge’s stand werc filled by a surging crowd of men, who joined in a mighty yell when the official arnouncement went up on the blackboard. Calm returned gradually and people talked of what they had won or lost. “It was a grand race,” exclaimed a young man, seated in the front row on the grand stand, addressing a comrade, “‘and I don’t begrudge what I lost.

With economy, it would keep ua fellow for two or three weeks, but then he would be just where he would have been if he had not had it. Others would have got all the benefit of it. And what is the use of ng to stave off the inevitable sone to meet it—that is all. —what are you going to do?” don’t think T have mentioned that yet, toa uny one.” You are welcome to all the money you ant, Jack. “Yhank you, Ross.

You can count me-in on- anything short of burg- lary. I'm, afraid I haven't the nerve for that. I should dread barking my shins on strange furniture in the dark. And then the burglar’s hours for business would be so likely to interfere with cne’s social en- gagements. Just fancy leaving a patri- archs' ball to sally forth with a dark lan- tern and jimmy.” “It is very evident,” replied Jack, with a smile, “that burglary will not do at ail. “Well, how does Wall street strike you? “Oh! that's werse yet; less manly indus- try about it.” Laughing together the young men arose and started toward: an exit. Neither no. ticed that their conversation had been lis- tened to, with evident interest, by two ladies seated just behind them, one an elderly woman with a shrewd but kindly face, and the other an exceedingly hand- some girl or that the latter, when thelr backs were turned, stood up looking eager- ly for some cne amid the bank of faces above and behind her. Had they observed her they would have seen that she found the face she sought, glanced once toward them, and resumed her seat with a satis- fied smile. “For the land's sak exclaimed the older lady. “Did you ever hear of a prodi- gal son like that one? His last dollar! And what do you suppose he’s going to do? I can guess. He's going home for some fat- ted calf. A good twisted strip of its hide 1s all he ought to get. I wonder who he is” “['ll tell you when the next race is over, u will! Sakes alive! Do you know “Not now. But Amy Thorpe does.” “How do you know?” “She has just told me so.” Miss Keturah Truefitt looked puzzled and relapsed into silence. When she spoke again her voice was softer. “Poor young chap!’ she said meditatively. “Like as not he’s had ro motker’s care to guide him right. H's been led astray like many. And what a pity it is; he’s a handsome, manly fellow, isn’t he, Constance?” “I_I didn’t notice,” answered the girl, hesitatingly. ‘The loud clanging of the judges’ bell call- ing up the horses for the next race put a stop to further conversaticn.

Miss Constance Dessine spent part of the succeeding summer at Long Branch, part at Saratoga and part at Bar Harbor, not a little to the disgruntlement of Aunt Ketu- rah Truefitt, her chaperon, who heartily disliked much flitting about in hot weathe- can’t see what possesses you this summer, Constance,” she protested, “unless it's the uneasy, roving spirit of your French father workin’ out. He was like Noah's dove, that found no rest any- where for its feet, only the dove did go back to the ark and settle down, while he never settled anywhere, until he died. You don’t take after the Truefitts—not a bit. They were always great on stayin’ where the Lord put them. Your mother, Almiry, was never twenty miles from West Fram- ingham until your father came along and courted and married her, all in a whirl, as you may say, and whisked her of. If that husband of hers, Victor Dessine, had had his way they'd never have stopped long enough in one place for letters to catch them up. And you are getting to be just like him. Are you looking for somebody who nay be in Dan, or Beersheba or some- where else?” Constance would not admit that she was. Even Amy Thorpe, her most confidential friend, could only guess from her frequent inquiries by letter, “whether the missing man had yet been found,” what was the hope inspiring her unrest. Amy, had not been abie to tell her much about “Jack.” He was a friend of her brother, Ross Thorpe, and she knew him, but that was about all.

Yes, that’s it; he walked across.” But he had learned what explained the young man's ,impecu- niesity within a little over a year after in- heriting a million. Not a dollar of the es- tate had been squandered, but all was temporarily tied up by the machinations of a gang of rascals with whom Jack's father had become involved in an extensive land and mining speculation. They had trumped up a claim for an enormous amount against the Burroughs estate, and, by corruption, it was believed, had obtained a favorable decision from a lower court. But that was only the beginning, prac- tically, of the legal fight, and until it was ended the estate might as well be at the Lottom of the Dead sea, so far as any good to Jack was concerned. “As a mere matter of lurtosity,” remark- ed Constance, “I really would like to know what has become of him.” Amy smiled knowingly. qn. When the winter season opened and Censtance was back in New York, her hope regived, for she felt that if John Bur- reughs was in the city she must meet him somewtere, at theater, opera, ball, party or some of the various bird or beast “shows” in which “society” deigns to af- fect an interest. Still, however, though she went everywhere, she was doomed to disappointment. One afternoon, late in spring, she and Aunt Keturah, walking up lower Broadway from her lawyer's office, halted for a mo- ment to look at the interesting and im- pressive spectacle of one of the enormous “steel-frame” office buildings in course of Lancia DR.

It was simply a stupendous cage, of ponderous columns and beams, twenty stories high. Workmen swarmed all through it; cranes on its upper line, seem- éesly in the sky, dropped jong wire cables to the sidewalk, where men attached to them by chains huge forms of metal. Just as the !acies stopped to gaze one of those forms, a great steel beam, was made fast, guide lines were tied on {ts ends, and a signal to some one controlling a hoisting engine, far aloft, caused the taughtening of the cable. At the same instart one of the workmen, a stalwart young feliow in his shirt sleeves, sprang nimbly on the beam, seized the cable to steady himself, ried up with the ascending Pavement. At the same instant seemingly the cable hook gave way and the beam plunged downward, going with a thunder- ous roar through the sidewalk timbering into the deep excavation below.

The right one has not been sent.” “I wish you would ask ber, if you ean fiz ‘He is up there now ood. Get the number and I'll telephone to the works for it, at once.” By this time another beam was ready to go up, and the young man started with it, as before. He was not fifty feet above the sidewalk, when it was clearly apparent to those looking on that something was wrong with the hoisting engine at the top of the structure. The ascent was much more rapid than usual, and its speed was momentarily accelerated. It seemed as if the enginecr had lost control. Should he have dene so, the inevitable result would be the hoisting of the beam to the head of the crane and the giving way of something, urder continuance of the terrific strain, with the consequent fall of the beam to the street. John Burroughs realized all this as quickly as anybody else, but was not alermed. He waited until he was sure that scmething had gone wrong, then gathered himself for a spring to one of the platforms as he darted cp by them, coolly calculating what allowance he would have to make for his momentum to avold having his brains dashed out by a beam instead of alighting on the platform beneath it. Of ccurse, if he missed the platform or was shot beyond It into one of the vast interior chasms of the skeleton-like structure, that would be the end of him.
