“ We ny yond AutininMr alll 1 un) TU) A Wolf in a Corner. [ GIRDLESTONE had been a London charity school boy. He became a merchant and rose to wealth in the) African trade Unscrupulous in trade, hard to all the! world, he firmly believed that he was one of the few chosen | by God for future glory and he loved his son, Ezra resem-| bled his father In nothing. ‘The tall, lean, grim, almost wolfish old man devoted all his strength to the bullding up of the firm of Girdlestone, in which Ezra was junior partner. Ezra was a bern trader. He was shorter and rudder than tis father, his neck was thick His desires and his methods were gross. He had no hypocrisy but was boldly vicious; he had keruptes but did not yied to them, His keenness in trade gradually gave him ascendancy over his father, who telfed on his judgment and courted his opinion on all mat~ ters. A bell summoned Ezra from the office to his father's room. *“Joha Harston is sald to Ve dying," sald John Girdlestone, ‘ond he has sent a message to me saying that he wishes to fee me, ‘The doctor says that there is very little hope that he wl survive until evening. It 1s a case of malignant typhoid fever.” . “You are very old friends?" remarked, thoughtfully at his father. “T have known him since we were boys together,” the other replied, with a slight dry cough, which was the highest note of his Mmited emotional gamut. “Your mother, Ezra, died upon the very day that Harston’s wife gave birth to this daughter of his seventeen years ago, Mrs. Harston only sur~ vived a few days. I have heard him say that, perhaps, we should also go toxether. We are in the hands of a higher Power, however, and It scems that one shail be taken and another left.” “How will the money go if the doctors are right?" Ezra asked keenly. ‘Every penny to the girl,” the merchant answered. "She will be an heiress. There are no other relations that I know 0’, except the Dimsdales, and they®have a fair fortune of their own, But T myst go." “By the way, malignant typhold is very catching, 1s it not “So they say.” the merchant said, quietly. “I knew you wou'd come,” said Harston, when Girdle- stone bent over the dying man. “1 wish to speak to you, John, making my will, John, should have done better had I retired years ag told you so," the other broke in grumy. “You did—you did, But I acted for the best. and I leave to my denr daughter, Kate.” ‘A look of interest came over Girdlestqne'’s face. ahout the balance?” he asked. “T leave that to be euuaily divided among the varicus Lon- don Institutions for educating the poor. We were both poor hoys ourselves, John, and we know the value of such we aTOiectone looked perhaps a trifle disappdinted, ThE wick man went on very slowly and painfully: : My daughter will have forty thousand pounds. But it Is so thed up that she can neither touch it herself nor enable ar, ve else to do so until she {s of age. She has no friends, John, and no relations, save only my cousin, Dr. George Dims- dale, Never was a girl left more lone!y and unprotected. Ezra looking “I have been I whe said.

What's the use of having a good balance at your banker's {f you don’t Ilve better than your neigh- bors? “There is only one olijection to ft, the merchant said,! husktly, and with a forced laugh: "I have not got a good balance at the banker's" “Protty fair, pretty fair," his son said, knowingly, picking ur the Jong, thin volume in which the finance of the firm was recorded, and tapping it against the table. “But the figures there are not quite correct, Ezra,” his father said, still more huskily. “We have not got nearly s0 much as that.” “What!" roared the junior partner. “Hush! For God's sake don’t let the clerks hear you. We have not so much as that. We have very little. In fact, Ezra, we have next to nothing in the bank, It {s all gone.”” For 1 moment the young man stood motionless, glaring at his father, ‘The expression of incredulity which had ap- peared on his features faded away before the earnestness of the other, and was replaced by a look of such malignant passion that {t contorted his whole face. “You fool!’ he shrieked, epringing forward with the book upraised as though he would have struck the old merchant. “I see tt now. You hays been speculating on your own hook, you cursed ass! What have you done with it?” He seized his father by the collar and shook him furlously in his wrath. “Keep your hands off me: the senior partner cried, wrenching himself free from his son's grasp. "I did my best with the money. How dare you address me #0?” “Did your Dost!’ hissed Ezra, hurling the ledger down on the table with a crash. “What did you mean by apecy- lating without my knowledge, and telling me at the same time that I knew all that was done? Hadn't I warned you a thousand times of the danger of It? You are not to be trusted with money." “Remember, Ezra," his father sal@ with dignity, reseat- ing himself in the chalr from which he had risen, in order to free himself from his son's clutches, “If I Jost the money, T also made it. This was a flourishing concern before you were born. If the worst comes to the worst you are only whore I started. But we are far from being absolutely rulned as yet." “To think of it!’ Ezra cried, filnging himself upon the office sofa, and burying his face in his hands, “To think of all I have sald of our money and our resources! What will Clutterbuck and the fellows at the club say? How can I alter the ways of life that I have learned?’ Then suddenly clenching his hands, and turning upon his father he broke out, “We must have it back, father; we must, by fair means or foul. You must do it, for it was you who lost it. What can we do? How long have we to do It in? Is this kaown in the City? Oh, T shall be ashamed to show my face on ‘Change. §0 he rambled on half- maddened by the pictures of the future which rose up in his_mind. : “ ee “Be calm, Hara; te calm!” his father sala imploringly. “We have many chances yet if we only make the best of them. There fs no use lamenting the past. I freely con- fess that I was wrong in using this money without your Knowledge, but I did it from the best of motives. We must put our heads together now to retrieve our losses; and there afe many ways in which that may be done. I want your clear, common sense to help mé in the matter. ‘Yake her, I beg of you, and bring her up under your own, ‘Treat her as though she was your own child.

Then there was no sorrow in the heart of Girdlestone, For @ long time no ships had been lost, and although the “Black Hagle’ and other captains of Girdle- stone's craft raved over the unseaworthy condition of thelr poate not a cent would Girdlestone spend -on repairs. The senior member of the firm prayed that his|boats might 0 down at sea, but they came to port regularly and of late with unprofitatile cargoes. Newer and better ships entered the trade and gradually the resources of Girdlestone became impaired. He sought to enlarge his resources by speculation and lost money, lost more and more tfil one day his secret ledger told the tale of imi ruin. Ezra, for all his astuteness, had never suspected the real condition of the firm. But the time had arrived when he must be told. "The old man had hartily come to this conclusion when he heard the sharp footfall of his son in the outer office and ‘the harsh tones of his voice as he addressed the clerks. A moment or two later the green baire door flew open, and the young man came in, throwing his bet and coat down on on¥ of the chairs. “Good morning,” he sald bruequely, nodding his head to hip father. “Good morning, Bara,” the merchant answered meekly. “Whats the matter with you, father?” his son asked, looking at him keer “You don't look yourself, and haven't for some time back.” “Business worries, my boy, business worries,” John Girdie- stone answered, wearily, “Pity you didn't apply to that before,” Ezra said sulkily. “T have suffered for not doing 90," the old man answered meekly. ‘In considering how to rally under this grievous aMiction which has come upon us, we must remember that our credit 9 a great resource, and one on wilch we have never drawn. That gives us a broad margin to help us while we are carrying out our plans for the future.” ieee will our credit be worth when this matter leaks out?’ “But it can't leak out. No one suspects it for a moment. They might agine that we are suffering from some tem- porary depression of trade, but no one could possibly know the sad truth, For heaven's sake don't you let it out!" His son broke into an {mpatient oath. A flush came into Girdieston’s sallow cheeks, and his eyes sparkled angrily. “Be careful how you speak, Ezra. There are limits to what I will endure from you, though I make every allow- ance for your feelings at this sudden catastrophe, for which I acknowledge myself responsible." The young man shrugged his shoulders, and drummed his heel against the ground !mpatiently. “I have more than one plan in my head," the merchant said, “by which our affairs may be re-established on their old footing. If we can once get sufficient money to satisfy our present creditora, and so tide over this run of bad luck, the current will set In the other way, and all will go well’ And first of all, there is one question, my boy, which [ shoud like to ask you. What do you think of John Harston's daughter?" “She's right enough,” the young man answered “Bne's a good girl, Ezra—a thorough good girl, Tiaras girl, too, though her money 1s a small thing In my eyes compared to her virtues." Young Girdlestone sneered. “Of course,” he said, impa- tly. “Well, go on—what about her?" just this, Ezra, that there is no girl in the w I should Hke better to recelve as my daughte) vane at you rogue, you could come round her; you know you could. The old man poked his long, bony finger in the direction of his son's ribs with grim playtuiness. “Oh, that's the idea, is it?” remarked the with a very unpleasant amtle, ae “Yes, that 1* one way out of our difMfcul - Bhi thousand pounds, which would be more Mn eee ne the firm. At the same time you would gain a charming wite."" "Yes, there are a good many girls about who might make charming wives,” his son remarked dublously, "No matri. mony for me yet awhile.” 6 “But it is absolutely necessary,” his father urged. “A very fine necessity,"" Era broke in, savagely. “T am to tle myself up for Ufe and you are to use ali the money in rectifying your blunders, It's a very pretty division of labor, in that.’ “The business Is yours as well as mine.

But you said you had several plans. Let us hear some of the other ones. If the worst comes to the worst I might consent to that— on condition, of course, that I should have the whole mai agement of the money." “Quite so—quite #0," his father said hufriedly. ‘That's a dear, good lad, As you say, when all other things fall we can always fall back upon that.

WHAT ABOUT THE NEW MAN? BY HARRIET HUBBARD AYER. ND now, if you please, Miss Helen Bradford Thompson, Ph. D., director of the psychological laboratory at Mount Holyoke College, has sent forth a| etatement that men. are more emotional than women, and Dr. Anna Don-| oghue, a physician of wid» medical experience, goes even further, according to to uncontradicted reports, and says that “men are not only more emotional than| women and more sensitive, )but also more modest, and lkewise more hysterical." Well, for pity's sake! are the men proposing to rob us of our inheritance | completely? Are they bent upon disarming us, and do they assume to annex all) our most highly polished and cherished weapons and defenses without a word of| protest? We have served @ long term as sinners big and black who have appro- | priated masculine manners, masculine apparel, masculine Jobs, maswiline pens and paint-pots, masculine brains, and masculine prerogatives generally. | We have borne the contumely af being classed with the mannish woman be-| cause we happen to like to wear bulldog-toed shoes and choking high collars, No | one ever thought of calling us masculine because we earned the money to buy the bulldog-toed shoes, In my experience, and we have felt superior to scrapping) over side-issucs and haven't had tifhe for a foolish argument. Men," says the lady doctor, “have far finer emotional natures than women, they are more sympathetic and have more delicate feelings about things, they are more modest, too. Their emotional natures are developed on the finest lines; they are even at times hysterically emotional. ‘I have seen men ‘faint from sheer nervous dread of even so/ simple @ thing as vaccination, whereis I never saw @ woman in a genuine fait except from heart failure," Of course It's of no consequence, but incidentally I had a sort of a dreamy Jden that heart failure usally accompanied a fainting bout, but {t seems the men can faint in the genuine medically approved fashion with thelr sensitive little hearts keeping normal time. In the fact that we have exhibited euch splendid courage in baring our arms to the tooth pick point ofthe brutal vaccinator to be used against us proof of our Jack of sensfollity? Dear me! dear me! If the old school ideas of the attributes of the eternal feminine are to prove us hard-hearted, insensible villains and tricksters, what about the brutal qualities that enable the delicately bred woman in times of need to go with placid face through scores of shocking carnage to minister to the wants of suffering humanity? | What about the lack of sensibility that makes the mother so exquisitely re aponsive to every need of her child in ita infancy? Of her later capacity to merge her whole existence In that of her children and to find the keenest Joy in their happiness forgetting utterly herself in their pleasures and ambition: What about the lack of sensibility of the woman who refuses to permit the suggestion of impurity In thought or word or action in her presence? What about the moral standards, the moral sentiments of woman? Are they too lower—less delicate than those of the now man? Leave us something, dear doctors, If we may not have hysterics or fainting fits or emotions. or emotional natures developed on fiffe lines, please leave us our morals. It fs all very sad,~and it certainly does look as though the twentieth century woman were a catherdhopeloss proposition. I should say she ie scarcely Ot to be alive myself, but I am more or leas vroken In spirit from a protracted consideration of the situation as advanced by the doctors In the case.

The only possible satisfaction I can get out of the new deal is in the gratl- fication of my curiosity, I hope I am not stealing tnis exalted attribute also from the mén. Now, at last, I know why a man disports himeelf in a suburban village as one about to indulge in an epileptic fit when Ms collar button rolls under the bureau anf he has just elght minutes between nim and train time. It is his superfine sensibilities claiming their due: Now I know when to put a motaphorical ‘tab’ organization. It's when the man of the family tears his offending new coat off his back and hurls it across the room while he says delicate and highly sympathetic words about the tailor who made the coat that wrinkles in the back and takes tucks in the new man’s emotional nature.
