[Chicago Rambler, — AN ACCOUNT SETTLED. The tale I am about to unfold Is a true one. I heard it one drowsy sfterncon last week, while resting after the labors of the Exposition, Remote from the bustle of the uptown world and lazlly watching a perapective of roofs and gables that might have belonged to mome old and half-forgotten chapter of French history, I had induced the venerable Tinette to chat with me on the shaded gallery running along the side of the house. Had 1 ever met Polyte Roblchaux? No? Ha! There wasa fine man—*‘but spoll—ob, yes, qulte spoll; effectually ruln,” Aud then, at first In broken installments, but soon warming to her work, she told me the story—told it with a chic and a flavor which I would glve much to reproduce. Polyte Robichsux belonged to Tinette's clas. He had enjoyed great advantages, to be suro. His father, a substantial old Frenchman, made a fortune and went back to France, taking Polyte with him, There the boy was educated, cr rather “finighed,” for he had been well traiced at home; and there he dwzlt on torms of unqu estioned equality with his father's associates and in the enjoymont of un- limited means. Bright, quick, eager, versatile, he acqulred both the solld and the graceful things In unbcunded pro- faslon. He spoke three languages per- fectly. He was a musiclan of genuine merit and sang, in a light but curlously sweet barltone, with discriminating taste. Ina word, he had almost every soclal adornment and wasgreatly sought in many of the salons of Parls, where men and ‘women of wit and parts wero acoustomed to meet. Buat old Robichaux, like many other people, had his mauvals quart a'houre, and when he found that his fortune, the fabric of a long and buay, and possibly not too scrupalous, life, had tumbled into hopeless ruins about his ears, Jike a thoroughly polite and con- slderate old Frenchman he—dled. Polyte dutifully mourned his affectlonate 1f {rregular parent, and then took a trial balance on the situatlon. The figures were discouraging. Nothing remalned except a few pleces of real estate In New Orleans, of no great value. In France the sweep had been a clean one. The end was Inevitable. Polyte turned his back upon Paris and set out for New Orleans, where, he thought, he might by economy and care contrlve to extorta decent, if meagre, living from the rem- nant of the Robichaux estate. His awakening was sudden and com- plete. Of course there was no mistake about the property. He found that in- tact. And, certainly, by good manage ment it might be made to yield a livell- hocd. For the rest—a blank, He had left New Orleans too young to under- stand the gulf separating him from hls moral and intellectaral equals, He came back a man of 27, with every faculty sharpened by the experiences of his Parlsian life, doubly, exqulsitely alive to the coldness, the avoldancs, the forbld- ding distance of those to whom he natur- olly gravitated for companicnship and mpathy. By slow and sure degrees he sucoumbed to the oruel pressure. Gradually he left the social horlzon close {n about him, shutting out everytbing he cared for or was accustomed to, until he felt the most forlorn of creatures—a stranger and an exlle fnhis own home, The tenslon told sadly upon bim, He lost hls old jaunty brightness, grew cynical and malignant, learced to scorn the things he had once valued, came to sooff and derlde the {deas he had all kis life been taught to honor. In a shcrt time he had degenerated icto a reckless, emblttered, greedy bird of prey, biding his time to pay cft & long and rankling scora with soclety. When Polyte fiest returned, and while yot ke was ignorant of the fate awaiting him, he sought ont a glrl with whom, st the time of hls departure, he had been passionately In love. She, too, was of the avcursed class, but he had not thought of that before, He scarcely realized it now. 8o he strolled down to Toulouse street to the well-remembered house where Melanie’s dark eyes had so often shed light upon the qulet sltting-room for him, Eight years had passed, but he plotured Melanle hanglog over the broad gsllery and peerlog under the branches of the orange trees with her beantiful face oglow, just as In the olden tlme. He found Melanie, but instead of the sylph. Itke soft-ayed girl of his boyish d:eams, ho saw before him a fat, leaden footed housekeeper, His heart sank within him, Without ioterest he followed the recital of her life slnce he had last seen her. It was the old story. She had gone the way of her kind, Young, falr, accom- pliehed, she had become the wife—on the time-honorcd place plan—of s pros- perous English cotton-buyer. She had an elegant home, a number of lovely children, a falthful and devoted protec- tor, and enjoyed the higheit conalder- ation among the octoroon colony, Polyte was crushed, He knew nothing of all this, He turned away from the wreck of his boylsh fancy, bitterness, snd retent: ment o his heart. He hated the world. He loathed New Ocleans soclety, Two years passed, Outwardly res'gned and acceptin, ltuation, Polyte hsd opened an office In Exchange alley, not far from St. Louls street. The location was convenlent to Richelleu's and Antoine’e, where he acted as confidentlal adviser to the leading men of his clses, such people lstlde Mary, F. X, Damas, Dabuc- lets and the Jourbets were his clients. Through their patronsgs he managed to Increace the small store of worldly goods left him by his fatner until It sssumed very respectablo proportions. He was restlog one day In his cflice when Mela- nie barst fnto the room—a flashed and flabby apparation which he regarded with emiz:ment and contempt, Her wuose was red through weaping. Her eyes were fishy, Her form, which In times gone by he had looked upon in rsptare, now quivired llke » wountain of jelly, Ske was abiurd, He promptly classed I her with the things be batcd, snd he THE DAILY BEE--SATURDA watched lar movements with croelty| The Sweet Sympathy She Spake. ID, Lanfer and Mis Bishop, & daughter of | ACOOMMODATING NEIGH-=-|ive for the economic o and susploion deploted in his eye. “‘Polyte, you loved me oncs—I loved oun.” i It is #o long ago. Bat “‘Drumirond is dead!” The teers flowed afresh. Polyte won- dered In his wicked heart {f she were try- Ing torevive the old feeling. An evil sneer spread over his featares. ““Whatls that to me,” he sald, “To yoi--nothing. To me—avery- thing, D ummond is rich, I have been his royal wife for nearly ten years, These ohildren are his. He always intended to leave thew: his money. He has sald so to his frlends—to me—to everybody. I found him dead In his room without a will, I krow it.” Polyte became interested. “‘How did he dle?” “‘Suddenly. How do I know.” ‘‘Had he {len my” *Noj; perfectly well and strong, when 1 took tha coffes to hls room at 8 o’clock, “No one knew that anything alled him.” “‘No one dreamed of 1t.” “And nobody knows he is dead now? Stay, be careful!” She pacsed a moment, valnly endeav— orlng to fullow the drift of his questions. Then, ‘Nn, not a soul. I oame stralght toyon, To you, Polyte, who—" “Yeu, yos; tha was right. Never mind therest, I am your frlend. Bat, tell me, can you follow my directions? Will you dry your eyes, stop this weeplng and do as I eny 9" “‘Yes, anything ” “Go home, Lot no one know what has happen I will see to the rest.” Ovorpowered by hls nd decls- fon, Melanle dried her tsars and went homs, Ho sat for half an hour wrapped in though*. He then put on his hat, locked his office and made his way to No.— Toalouse. Melanle was walting forhlm. She showed him the room wheie Deommond lay, stiff, and with that pecallar look which tells of heart disease. He was dressed, Doaath had evidently overtaken him with awfal sud- deuness. Pdlyte orderod Melalne out of the room, He sald ho would call if he need- ed her. He seemed aetarmined and oal- lous to 1he scene before him, Let alone he ratsed the corpss and carried it to one of those vast Oreole armorles and closed thedoor upon it. Then he undressed himself and got Into bed. He rang the bell. Melaine rashed in. “*Darken the room,” ““What! Are you—what have done with 1t7” **Ask no questions,” sald Polyte, sngrily, *‘if you wish me to arrange this matter. I am aocting for you—not for myself. Choose!” QOould Melanle refuse to obey? She darkened the rooms. At Polyte’s request she ment for old Grivot, the half-deat and half-blind notary around the corner. When he rang the bell she retired and Grivov was shown into the room of the dying man, ‘I feel that I am dylng, 'Sleur Grivot. I wish to leave my money to the fal ful people who have been with me so long.” “‘Have you no heirs?” “‘None here. These are my children, Moelanle has bsen loyal. They are en- titled to my aavinge. Arrange It so that they shall inherit everything,” The notary went to w Polyte was breathing heavily, ‘‘Any par- tlculers?” The dylng man turned: ‘Yes, I wish to constitute Polyte Roblchaux the trustee—my heirs. Polyte—" “Why—he ls—" knuw. Polyte R.bl- you “Never mind. I chaux is my trustee. Grivot scratched his head. There were difficulties. He did not like so much “‘ocioroon.” He was a creole. Besldes there had baen unplessant whispers about Polyte Robichsux of late. Polyte watiched the notary with a fartive look. He was becoming desperate. “‘Ab, weil,” sald the dying man feebly, “'I have no time to consider. I feel mysalf growing weaker. Make Po- Iyte my legatee—he will do what is right by Melanie and the children. *‘No,” as Grivot endeavored to Interpose. ““This 1s my business—hurry —hurry!” It was done. Diummond’s fortune was left to Polyte Robichaux with all sorts of loving messages to Melanle and the chlldrer. Melanie and a neighbor were called In to witness the Instrument. which was then placed under the plllow. 'Sieur Grivot recelved his $50 fze from tte trembling hands of the dying man and went awsy contented with himself and the world. As soon as the door closed on hils retreating form Polyte called Melauie. Together thoy extrlcated the corpse from {ts h'ding place, un- dressed 1t and put it to Fed. Then, tell- ing her to send for him & ccuple of hours later, Polyte withdrew with the will safely stowed away in his pocket. The remainder of this story is zooa told. Late in the afternoon the distract- ed Melanie announced by a plercing shriek that Drumamond was desd. The neighbors rushed to her assistance. There was the usual wailing and lamentation, Then came the funeral, acd finally Polyte Robichsux appeared, grave with the sense of responsibillly and armed with that slogular will. He told everyone that the money was iantended for the ohildren and went about the work of re- allzing the dead mau’s fortune with sys- tem and dlspatoh, 1t was all convertible, Stocks, bonds snd securlties in thore days wers good for money in sight, and within a week Melauie was In possessidon of some $50,000 in oash, She had thought Mr, D:ummond much richer, bat she did not know—he never told her about his affafre. was o great deal of money, and she was gratefal to Polyte, But when a few weeks later Polyte sold out his own scanty possessions and salled for Europe he carried with him more than $100,000.

There were aeveral bands, among them the Union Paclfic bard and the Muslcal Unlon band, that bid as low as the mili. tary band. It socems {o me that the managers of the Omaha Falr aesociation, having an interest In Omaha and most of them fn tusinees here, should, at least, have given proferenca to an organization which exlsta {n this clty and all of whoee membera have thelr familles to support and thelr living to make. The military band s no better than the Musical Union band, though they may have a few pleces more; and it s well known that the military band is paid by the govern- me tand enjoy many privileges which the individaals of the Musical Unton do not, Besldes, they are not oltizans of this place, and are well pald by the gov- ernment for what work they do. If they are allowed to compete, and when they do 8o cannot fornfsh muslc any cheaper than snother first-class baud in the clty, surely the preferanca should be given to amusicil organlzation which exists here; or elso the result might be, this organi- P supported by the goverament, can, at auy time, by compeution, which they can sfford fsr more easiry than d [home institutions, completely shut out from any firs:-class engagements the ma- slcal crpanizatlons of this place.
