ae a I.-The Message from Jones, Meese ine BRDWSTER, by his grandfather's grace clerk in a bank, had inherited his grandfather's million. He was the orphan son of a romance and the grandfather who made him his heir had never forgiven that romance. He had friends, a host of them—that jolly band of fellows, the Little Brothers of the Rich, the old Col. Prentiss Drew, whom the papers called a “railroad magnate;” the Colonel's daughter Barbara, and Mrs. Gray, who had been ase mother to him, and her daughter Margaret, or Peggy, as they called her. These had been friends for years. There ‘were new friends swarming to him now. Hoe went to see Peggy, the comrade of his childhood. It @eemed that she was the one friend who was really un- changed to him. Her home had been his home for years, and even in his absence it was officially his residence. They talxed gayly as child and child and then she rememtyred @ \etter that had come for him. He read it aloud to Margaret. Sept. 30. Montgomery Browater, Exq, York: Dear Sir—We are In recelpt of a communication from Mr. Swearengen Jones, of Montana, conveying the sad intelligence that your uncle, James ‘T. Sedgwick, died on the 24th inst, at M—— Hospital, in Portland, after a brief illness. Mr. Jona by this time has qualified as the executor of your uncle's will and has retained us as his eastern representatives. He faclores a copy of the will, in which you are named as sole heir, with feondit!ons attending. Will you call at our office this afternoon, if it 1s eonvenient? It Ia tmportant that you know the contents of the Instri- ment at once. Respectfully yours, GRANT & RIPLE’ For a moment there was only amazement in the alr, Then @ faint bewildered smile appeared in Monty's face, and re- Uected itself in the girl's. "Who 1s your Uncle James’ I've never heard of him. I “You must go to Grant & Ripley's at once, of course. “Have you forgotten, Peggy,” he replied, with a hint of vexation in his voice, “that we are to read ‘Oliver Optic’ this afternoon?” she asked. “You are both fortunate and unfortunate, Mr. Brewster, said Mr. Grant, after the young man had dropped into a chair In the office of Grant & Ripley the next day. “The truth {s, Mr. Grant, I'd completely forgotten the existence of an uncle,” he responded. “It {s not surprising,” said Mr. Grant, genlally. “Every one who knew him in New York nineteen or twenty yeers ago believed him to be dead. It seems that your ‘utcle turned up in Montana about fifteen years ago and there formed a stahch friendship with old Swearengen Jones, one of the richest men in the far West. Sedgwick’s will was signed on the day of hls death, Sept. 4, and it was’ quite natural that Mr. Jones should be named as his executor. ‘That is how we became Interested in the matter, Mr. Brew- ater, Well, {t may surprise you to learn that James Sedg-| ssed of an estate valued at almost seven| wick died po: milion dollar And he—he left everything With a proviso.” Mr. Grant drew the document from a pligeon-hole in his @esk, adjusted his glasses and prepared to read. Then, as to me?” though struck by a sudden thought, he laid the paper down | and turned once more to Brewster. “It seems that Sedgwick never married. Your mother was his sister and his only known relative of close connection.) He was a man of most peculiar temperament, but In full} You may find this will possession of all mental faculties. to be a strange document, but I think Mr. Jones, the execu- tor, explains an vstery that may be suggested by its terms. While § old friends in New York, tt seems that he was fully posted on all that was going on here. He knew that you were the only child of your mother and therefore his only nephew. He also was aware of the fact that old Edwin Peter Brew- 6 intended to bequeath a large fortune to you—and there- by hangs a tale, You know, of course, that your father married Miss Sedgwick in the face of the most Witter op- position on the part of Edwin Brew aR, and heaped the harshest kind of calumny upon the Sedgwicks. It was commonly belleved about town that Jim Sedgwick left the country marriage for the sole reason that he and Edwin Brewster could not live in the same plac So deep was his hatred of the old man that he fled to escape killing him." Then Mr. Grant read the will, giving all his fortune to his nephow under the most extraordinary conditions. One) required the heir to be absolutely penniless at 9 A. M., New York time, upon the twenty-sixth anniversary of his birth, Bept. 23. The instrument went into detail In respect to this su- preme condition, It set forth that Montgomery Brewster was to have no other worldly possession than the clothes which covered him on the September day named. He was to} begin that day without a penny to his name, without a single article of jewelry, furniture or @nance that he could call his own or could thereafter reclalm, “What will you do?” said Mr. Grant, “Of course 1'll take tt," sald Monty vaguely.

They laid before him a half dozen tel responses from bankers, lawyers and mine-operators in Mon- tana. These messages established teyond doubt the extent of James T. Sedgwick's wealth; it was reported to be even greater than shown by the actual Agures. ‘And what does Mr, Jones say?’ demanded Montgomery. “His reply resembles a press dispatch. He has tried to make himself thoroughly clear, and if there is anything lett unsaid it 4s past our comprehension. I am sorry to inform you, though, that he has paid the telegraph charges," said Mr. Grant, smiling broadly. ‘The telegram from Mr. Jones was 8 follows: Oct. 2 Grant @ Ripley, Yucatan Building, New York: I am to be cole referee in this matter. You are retained as my agents, helr to report to me through you weekly. One desire of uncle was to forestall grandfather's bequest. I ehall respect that desire. En- force terms rigidly. He was my best friend and trusted me with dispo- sition of all this money. Shall attend to it sacredly. Helr must get rid of money left to him In given time, Out of respect to memory of uncle he must take no one Into his confidence. Don't want world to think S, was damned fool. He wasn't. Here ero rules 1 want him to work under: 1. No reckless gambling. 2. No {dlotic Board of Trade epeculation. 3. No endowments to institutions of any character, because thelr mempry would be an invisible asset. 4. No indiscriminate giving away of funds, By that I don't mean him to be stingy.

If he gives a# other mililonaires do I'll let it go at that. Don't believe charity should be spoiled by Indulgence. It {a not easy to gpend a million, and I won't be unreasonable with Lim. Let him spend it freely, but not foolishly, and get his money's worth out of it, If he does that I'll consider him a good business man. I re- ward it foolish to tip walter more than dollar and car porter does not deserve over five. He does not earn more than one. If heir wants to try for this big stake he'd better begin quick, because he might slip up if he waits until day of judgment. It's lems than year off. Luck to him. Will write you more fully. 8. JONES. Brewster sat silent for a long time, staring hard at the floor.. A great struggle was going on in his mind. ‘Its a gamble, gd a big one,” he said at last, squaring his shoulders, “but I'll take it. I don't want to appear dis- loyal to my grandfather, but I think that.even he would advise me to accept. Yes, you may write Mr, Jones that 1 saesent the chance."* Before night Montgomery Brewster began a career that would have startled the world had the facts been known. With true loyalty to the “Little Sons of the Rich,” he asked, his friends to dinner and opened their eyes. As the dinner progressed Brewster explained that he in- tended to double his fortune within a year, “I'm going to have some fun, too," he said, “and you boys are to help me."* “Nopper” Harrison) was employed as “superintendent of Elon Gardner as financial secretary, Joe Gragdon as private secretary, “Subway” Smith as counsel, and there were places In view for the other members. “I want the smartest apartment you can find, Nppper,” he commanded. ‘Don't stop at expense, Have Péttingill redecorate it from top to bottom. Get the best servants you can find. I’m going to lve, Nopper, and hang the conse- quence: A fortnight later Montgomery Brewster had a new home. In strict obedience to his chief's command, ‘Nopper" Harri- fon had leased until the September following one of the most expensive apartments to be found in New York City. The rental was $23,000, and the shrewd financial represen- tative has saved $1,000 for his employer by paying the sum in advance. But when he reported this bit of economy to Mr. Brewster {t brought forth a frown. "I never saw a man who had less sense about money,” muttered “Nopper"’ to himself. “Why, he spends it lke a Chicago millionaire trying to get into New York society. If Jt were not for the rest of us he'll be a pauper in six month There was no Uttle surprise when he sent out invitations for a large dinner. His grandfather had been dead less than a month, and soclety was sorfiewhat scandalized by the plain symptoms of disrespect he was showing. No one had expected him to observe a prolonged season of mourn- @ saint. ing, but that he should disregard the formalities completely | was rather shocking. One of Monty's most extraordinary financial feats grew out of the purc! of a $14,000 automotile. He blandly ad- mitted to ‘‘Nopper’’ Harrison and the two secretaries that he Intended to use it to practice with only, and that as soon as he learned how to run an “auto” as it should be run he expected to buy a good, sensible, durable machine) for $1,000, His staff officers frenuently put their heads together to: devise ways and means of curbing Monty's reckless extrava- gance. They were worried. sse's Ifke a sailor in port,” protested Harrison. ‘Money 1s no object if he wants a thing, and—damn {t—he seems to want everything he sees.” And 80 preparations for Monty's dinner went on, In ad- Metent corps of gentlemanly How do you purpose doing it? Mr. Jones 1s very far from| aids" he had secured the services of Mrs. Dan DeMille as what you'd call puritanical, but he ts intensely practical, “social mentor and utility chaperon."* Mrs, DeMille was and clear-headed. He will undoubtedly require you to keep| known in the papers as the leader of the fast younger ‘fan expense account ant to show some sort of receipt for every dollar you disburse.” “Good Lord! Itemize? “In a general way, I presume. “Pn have to employ an army of spendthrifts to devise and means for profligacy.” You forget the item which restrains you from taking anybody into your confidence concerning this matter, Think {t over, It may not be so diMcult after a night's sleep." If It Isn't too diMecult to get the night's s:ce That night the little table in his room at Mrs. Gray's was Mttered with scraps of pad paper, each covered with an in- comprehensible maz2 of figures. Until long after midnight he smoked and calculated and dreamed. For the first time the {mmensity of that million thrust {tself upon him, If on that very day, October the first, he were to begin the task of spending it he would have but 337 days in which to ac- complish the end, Taking the round sum of one million dollars as a basis, it was an eazy matter to calculate his average daily disbursement. It meant an average daily expenditure of $2,801.12 for nearly a year, and even then there would We 16 cents left over, for, in proving the result of his rough sum in dt- vision, he could account for but $999,999.84. Then It occurred to, him that his money would be drawing interest at the bank. “But for each day's $2,801.12, I am getting seven times as much,” “he, sollloquized, as he finally got into bed. ‘That means $19,007.84 a day, a clear profit of $16,806.72, That's pretty good—yes, too good,, I wonder if the bank couldn't oblige me by not charging interest.” It was 9 o'clock when Brewater finally rose, and after his tubshe felt ready to cope with any problem, even a sub- stantial breakfast. A message had come to him from Mr. Grant, of Grant & Ripley, announcing, the receipt of im- portant despatches. from Montana, and asking him to wi married set, She was one of the cleverest and best-looking young women in town, and her husband was of those who did not have to be “invited too.’ Mr. DeMille lived at the club and visited his home. Some one said that he was so! slow and his wife so fast that when she invited him to dinner he was usually two or three days late. Altogether Mrs. DeMille was a decided acquisition to Brewster's cam. paign committee, It required just her touch to make his parties fun instead of funny. (To Be Continued.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

NN * PASS THE NEW LAW ALONG! BY HARRIET HUBBARD AYER. MM" man, who hay, to de sure, suffered and Incurred many risks at the hands of the razor-armed gentry, Is to be congratulated, and likewise en- vied, on the passing of the new law which will make it practically im- possible for the most ambitious aspirant to perform antics with @ razor on the confiding patron until he has favorably passed an exacting examination not only as to the handling of the sharp-edged tool, but as to the sanitary care of hair-brushes and all barber accessories, No more unclean or unskilful or tgnor- ant men using unclean implements are to be permitted to endanger the health and comfort of the customer; no more hideous skin and scalp diseases are to be disseminated via the barber chair, The legally equipped barber must know how to keep himself and his shop in scrupulous and sanitary neatness. He may not use instruments that have already served for one patron on the face or head of another cllent without first properly steriilzing them. He may not attack a patron's face with unwashed hands. And, most encouraging so far as the signs go, !s the announcement concern- ing facial massage, which Is now very much in vogue as an accessory to shav- {ng and shampooing in the faehtonable barber shops Mr. Kressil, a most accomplished and intelligent member of his craft, the proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria barber shop, has been appointed by Gov Odell as exwminer of the barbers who wish to obtain the necessary legal cer- tifcates which will, like the doctor's diploma, entitle them to ‘do business." In speaking of faco massage as it is now practised by barbers all over the country, Mr. Kressil was most cmphatl “Face massage,” sald Mr. Kressil, ‘is a treatment very few barbers at pres- ent have any right to undertake. Most of them know Mttle or nothing of the science, and thelr so-called treatments will do more harm than good.” Bravo, Mr. Kresstl! Now won't some Influential and public-splrited citizen or eltizeness set in mo- tion a petition for a law which will prevent the rulnation of the feminine face by the so-called facial spectalist, administered by the too often unclean hands of the {gnorant alleged expert operator upon the face of a confiding and equally ignorant victim? Spurious face massage, now rampant in New York, 1s accom- plisiing infinite harm. I may assume to know something of the Injury that 4s being done by ‘hun- dreds of so-termed face masseuses in this city alone. I recetye letters from outraged and discouraged victims of spectous adver tisements or plausible conversationallsts each day of the week. They all tell the same story: “I have had my face massaged and it looks a great deal worse than ever before. ‘A few months ago I visited massage parlors daily for several weeks, I took treatments—such treatments! They would better be called punisnments. | Now, 1 know there are clever and solentific facial operators In New York. ‘They belong to the class which will welcome with sincere pleasure the passing’ of a law that will make {t {llegal to administer facial beautifying treatments without a certificate only to be obtained after a thorough examination as to fit- ness from every point of view, and this examination to be conducted by acknow! edged experts in sclentific massaye. No person should be permitted to practis face massage who has not received a thordugh training which comprehends practical knowledge of anatomy. : The woman who is competent to beautify the face through sclentiflo massag must understand the bony formation of the face as well as the location of th muscles and the distribution of the nerves.

RACTICALLY I had never seen a real horse race, for , the sedate steeplechasing of “gentlemen riders” over a moss-grown, springy track, with perhaps five thou- sand social elect flirting and chattering and paying as much attention (o the horses as a fashionable Metropolitan audi- ence dovs to the stage, which had constituted my exper!- ence of raging In Belgium, would scarcely be considered a Preparation for Gravesend, If I had gone to the races to be Interested in horses I would have been disappointed, for racing in New York does not strike one as a pastime and amusement, it ts a busines: and the woman who goos to Gravesend without a knowl- edge of the colors of the different stables, the names of the Jockeys and a familiarity with horses, weights and past per- formances had better invest her surplus in {ce-cream sodas and an afternoon at Proctor's. There were probably not over ten thousand people at Gravesend on Friday. I sat in the grandstand next a much-bedecked young person of the chorus, who between bets told an interested college boy how mamma had just come on from Michigan and thought New York such @ dreadful place for a young girl, and was really threatening to take her back home, and what could she do, while on the other side was a colored woman who save for her brief asd extremely technical instruction to the runner who took her bets, did not open her moyth the entire afternoon. The chorus girl did not place her own money. ‘But I gathered from a,remark addressed to mo in the excitement of the race that she was interested finan- clally {n the result, and that Charlie had taken her money down to the ring to get the best odds. “I'm backing the Whitney stable to-day,” she confided. “ome of the girls play his horses all the time. I guess they do it because they think it's swell. But I told Charlie to put two dollars on Mimosa because the Whitney colors match my gown. Brown and white is a pretty combination for a blonds, don't you think so “Five dollars on Hamburg Belle,” said the bronge figure at my right, and five minutes later the race began. “Where's Mimosa? Oh, I don't like that jockey. Why didn't I look at the jockey's name to begin with. Go it, old MONDAY EVEN( isu, JUNE 8, 1903, ED GHE that seems to be catching up, Dimple? I just hope she'll’ win. But she can't and——Oh, look!'"—the monologue ende@ in a prolonged wail. It had been patent from the first that Sidney Paget's Hamburg Belle was a winner, and the fur- ther sho went the more pronounced her lead became. The old colored woman who had backed her todk apparerftly no) interest in the outcome of the race, and her attitude of, stolid indifference was the more marked because the sur- rounding women, some of whom had not a dollar on any ~~ horse, Jumped up on the benches as the horses swung into |» the homestretch and screamed and stamped as if thelr’ eternal salvation or their next Easter bonnet hung on the — result. i One old woman who could not have been an hour under’ seventy &nd who had cross-questioned an impatient run am © for five minutes before placing a reluctant dollar om ¢ha Whitney stable, grew so excited during the race that the! sight of the struggiing horses became finally unendurable, — und she turned her back upon dhe field, preferring to take’ the defeat in one gulp rather than im slop sips of anguish, For the last half minute of the race there was not @ breath drawn in the little group of women save by the come placent winner, who did not appear to care to watch the horse rhe had backed. - . The victory of Hamburg Belle was received in silence, for : though women usually back the favorite, those in my im=) mediate neighborhood seemed all to have received hunches * on other horses in the race, und the Paget victory was” © not popular with them, : But while there 1s ‘another race to be run no woman. seems to despair of going home a winner.

I wonder if Charlle lost any money on her," Very probabry Charile did, but he was wise in his genera ton, for when on his return to the ring she lifted a discone‘ solate and slightly petulant face to his he said slowly: “I don't know whether you like it or not, Maizie, but E! disregarded your instructions and put your money on the! boy!
