TI REVOLT OF THE
By BOBEET BABS.
[Copyright, 1895, by the Author.]
Mr. Madax sat before his desk in a
mest despondent attitude, his head in
his hands and his hands in his hair.
Things were going badly in the city,
as, alas, they ofter-, do. Mr. Madax was
alone in his office in Old Gold ailey. He
wanted time to think and had given or
ders that he was not to be disturbed.
AH the rhiniring he appeared able to
do did not seem to help matters, so at
last he pulled himself together and
paced np and dov% 2 the room. Finally
be stopped and said to himself : "That
seems the only thing to do. I shaii con
sult with my wife. I wish she came
home more frequently, and then we
could talk over th se matters. "
He seized a telegraph blank and
wrote:
Vis. John Madax, 20 Bullion Court, City:
Gan you run over to Old Gold alley for a few
minutes? I wish to consult you on business.
MADAX.
, He rang the bell for a telegraph boy
and sent the message, then paced up and
* down his room again, waiting for his
twife to appear. Instead there came a
prompt anster, which he tore open and
read feverishly :
Sorry I can't come this forenoon. Too busy.
Call on me at 1 o'clock and I will take yon
to the club, -where wo can lunch and have a
quiet talk. JOAN MADAX.
The worried man consulted his watch.
It was not yet ll. It would be more
than two hours before he could see his
wife. He sat down at his desk and de
voted himself for those two hours to
what business there was in hand. Then
he brushed himself a bit, took his walk
ing stick and drove in a hansom to his
wife's offices in Bullion court After
having sent in his name a neat little
giri showed hint into a room and told
him that Mrs. Madax would be with
t him presently. She was very sorry to
keep him waiting, but she sent; a copy
of The Sketch for him to look over dur
ing the interval The Sketch was a pa
per started in the nineteenth century
and was at that time considered to be
rather in advance of other slow going
-weeklies. Now, however, it was thought
io be the correct paper for a man to
read, although the women p Sd little
attention to it. In the reception room
two or three other men were waiting,
nursing their hats. Presently the office
girl came in and f old them all except
Madax that Mrs. Madax couldn't pos
sibly see them until later in the day, as
she had an appointment, and would
they be good enough to call about 4
o'clock. So the men took their depar
ture, and Madax was left alone with his
paper, although his wife entered very
soon after. She was a tall woman, with
fine, clear cut, decided features. As :;ar
as the upper part of her was concerned,
she was dressed almost like a man. She
wore a somewhat glaring necktie and a
stand up collar. Her brown hair was
cut short and parted at the side, wbile
the hair of her husband, dark and
streaked with gray, seemed to part
naturally in the middle The neat, tai
lor made skirt which Mrs. Madax wore
had pockets at each side, high up md
very similar in cut to a man's pockets.
Her right band was thrust into one of
these pockets, and she jingled some
coins and keys as she entered the roam
where, her husband was waiting.
"Well, John," she cried, "exc seme
for keeping you^ but we have had a
very busy morning. However, if you
are ready now, I am. We will go to thc
Pine Ear club and have lunch. " She
approached her husband as she spoke and
patted him with some affection on the
shoulder. He looked up at her and smil
ed. Somehow her influence had a sooth
ing, protective air about it which made
the man feel he was not battling with
the world alone One of (he numerous
girl clerks came in with a long ulster,
which Mrs. Madax put on, thrusting
one hand in the armhole and then the
other, while the girl held the garment
by the collar. When Mrs. Madax had
buttoned up the ulster and put a jaunty
round, hard hat on her head, she look
ed more like a man than ever, and
Madax himself seemed almost eifern- I
inate beside her.
"Is my brougham at the door?" shs
asked the girl.
"Yes, madam."
** "Gome along, John, We have no time
to lose,*' said Mrs. Madax decidedly,
and leading the way she opened the car
riage door, whereupon he stepped in
t d i.
"To the Pine Ear club, " said the lady
to the coachman.
She took her seat beside her husbimd,
and the carriage drove off toward the
west end. In a short time it drew up
before a palatial building standing
where the Hotel Metropole once stood.
This, as every one knows, is the Pine
Ear club, the sumptuous resort of wo
men engaged in business in the city. It
is higher priced than the Carlton or Re
form, but is much more luxurious than
either of these old fashioned men clubs.
"Call for me at half past 8, " said th
lady to her coachman.
The stately dcors of the club were
opened by two girl porters, and the
couple entered. The lady wrote her hus
band's name in a book which was on a
stand in the hall, and together they en
tered the large dining room, where they
took their places ar one of the small ta
bles set for two near one of the large
front windows.
"We will take the regular club
lunch," she said tc one of the waitera
"And bring a bottle of 1884 champagne
-a large bottle. "
"I-I don't think I care for cham
pagne," said Madnx hesitatingly. "It
gives me a headache."
"Nonsense, " cried his wife. "A glass I
or two will do you good. You look
worried. ' '
"I am worried, and that is what I
wished to see you about. "
"Well, we won't talk bu.-iness during
lunch, if you please;" adding, as she
leaned back in her chair, "it's a habit j
I never indulge in. It's bad for one. J
We can have a talk in the smoking \
zoom af terward. How are the children?" p
* irVerj well, thank you. The girl, is a
aloot a Bit, ^uVthey'are getting on very
welL"
"Poor little fellow!" said Mrs, Mad
ax. "Boys are snch a worry to their
parents, when one thinks that they have
to encounter this world alone. I roust
run down and see them next week, if I
can."
"I wish you would," said Madax.
"The children miss you very much.
! Why don't you come home oftener?"
I "Well, very soon I expect to be able
j to do so, " she replied, "but, like you, I
have a great deal on my mind at pres
ent, and the market requires close
watching."
"Can't you come home with me to
night?" he asked. "The children would
be so pleased to see you. ".
"No, " she answered. ''I have to take
Sir Caesar Camp ont todinner tonight."
"Tomorrow night, then?" he suggest
ed deprecatingly.
"No," said the lady, shaking her
head, "it's worse still tomorrow night.
I have a lot of stockbrokers dining with
me at the Holborn. "
"It must cost you a lot of money
these dinners on every night "
"Yes, it does," said Mrs. Madax.
"but my experience is, if you want to
make a good business deal with a man
you must first feed him well. I always
see that the wines are irreproachable. I
will say one thing for the men-they
always know good wine when they
tastest"
"Well," said Madax, "Iwill tell the
children that you send your love to
them, but I think, you know, that a
woman shouldn't lose sight of her chil
dren, even though business is absorb
ing."
She urged him to tate his share of
the champagne, but Madax declined,
saying, "A man must keep his head
clear for business nowadays."
"Yes," said his wife, "I suppose a
man must"
There was a slight tinge of sarcasm
in her voice and she put unnecessary
emphasis on the noun. Madax looked
grieved, but said notL.ng. How often
do women in their thoughtless rudeness
cause pain to the tender hearts of those
who love them!
After lunch was over, Mrs. Madax
led the way up stairs to the private
smoking room which she had reserved
for their use. It was in a corner of the
club building, overlooking a bit of the
river and commanding a view of Char
ing Cross railway bridge.
"We will be quite undisturbed here,"
she said, "and can talk business."
Ringing a bell to give an order, she
asked her husband :
"What will you drink?"
"Nothing, thank you,"he replied,
but added afterward, "I will have a
glass of milk and soda, if you can
get it"
"You will smoke, of course?" said
his wife.
' 'A cigarette, " answered Madax.
When the waiter appeared, Mrs.
Madax said, ' 'Bring a glass of milk and
soda, some of the best Egyptian ciga
rettes, two Havana cigars, and a glass of
special Scotch with seiters."
When these materials were brought
and the waiter had disappeared, Mrs.
Madax walked to the door and turned
the key in it. Her husband lit his ciga
"Why don't you go home and take care oj
the children?'
rette from the match she held out to him,
and then, biting the end from her own
cigar, she began to smoke. She thrust
her two hands deep down in her pockets
and began to pace up and down thc
room.
"Now, John," she cried, "what's
the trouble?"
Mr. Mad axf s name was Billy, but
everybody called him John because his
wife's name was Joan. Mr. John Madax
was the name he was known by.
"Some months ago," began Mr.
Madax, 4 'I went into a wheat deal, and
I don't quite see my way out.: '
Mrs. Madax stopped in her pacing
and faced her husband in surprise.
"A wheat deal?" she cried. "What
side of the market are you on?"
"Oh, I'm on for a rise. "
His wife ade a gesture of despair,
and began walking up and down the
room again.
"What, in heaven's name did you
buy for a rise for?"
"Well,"said Madax very humbly,
' 'you see, the American wheat crop had
piactically failed and I thought I was
pretty sure of a rise. "
"Why didn't you speak to me about
it?" she replied.
Her husband flushed uneasily.
"I wanted to do something off my
own bat," he said. "Of course, I had
no idea at that time there would be a
corner in wheat."
'"'Corner!" she cried contemptuously.
"There's always a corner; there's bound
to be a corner. Don't you knew enough
not to look to the United States any
more for indications of the wheat mar
ket: India and the Baltic hold tiie key
to the situation. "
"Yes, I know-at least, I know
now," he said, "but there is no use in
upbraiding me for what I have done. I
am up to the neck in wheat, and the
signs today are that it is going lower
than ever. Now, what would you advise
me to do. Joan?"
"Oh, advise you !" she cried. ' ' What's
the use of coming to me when it is too
late? advise you to get out of it as
.^heaply as you can. ' '
. Her husband groaned.
mean practical rain now. 'T
"Well, my opinion is, that wheat
going lower still."
"Then it is utter ruin for me," sa
Madax dejectedly.
Mri?. Madax stopped once more in h
pacing the room and confronted h
husband. "John,"shesaid, ''whydor
you give up your office in the city ai
go home and take care of the children!
A spark cf resentment appeared
the man's eyes as he gazed at his wif
"I don't want to be entirely depen
ent on you, " he said at last.
"Pooh!" said his wife, and then si
added: "I will make you a handson
allowance for housekeeping and
much as you want besides.-. You a
worrying yourself to death aoout bus
ness. You ought to take a run
Brighton, or go off to Monte Cjirlo, ar
give up bothering about city affairs. "
The man sighed.
"That's all very well, hut you don
see that I want to make some money f <
myself."
"But you are not making it; you':
losing it. You say you are up to ti
neck ; how much does that mean?' '
"Twenty-five thousand pounds," I
said with a sigh.
"Dear, dear!" she said. "And I sn]
pose that is all the money you have. "
"It is more than all the money
have," he answered.
"I wish you had spoken to me b<
fore. It is too late now. Don't vou se
that?"
"Yes, but I had something to pr<
pose. You spoke of taking Sir Caesc
Camp to dinner. Now I don't knoi
what you want to get him in on, but
do know that I could get him on m
side of the wheat deal, and he woul
bring in others. Then we might be abl
to stop the break in the market. "
Airs. Madax's eyes sparkled as sh
looked down at her husband.
"Can you really do all that?" sh
asked almost breathlessly.
" Yes, if I had any assurance that w
would get out with a little profit. I
seems to me that all their influeno
thrown in on our side of the marke
would give us rise enough to get out o
the hole at least."
"Oh," said his wife, "that is a dif
ierent matter. I didn't know you hat
any plans. Yes," she added, af te:
thinking a moment with knitted brows
"that's a first rate idea. How mud
money do you think it would all tota
up to?"
"About a million," said Madax.
pleased to see that he was getting mor<
attention than censure.
"A million," said his wife, more t<
herself than to him. "Are you certaii
you could get all that amount on youi
side of the market?"
"Quite certain."
Mrs. Madax, as she continued hei
pacing up and down, seemed to b?
making some mental calculation. She
finally asked :
"Who are you running against? Whc
is at the head of the corner?"
"Oh, that," said Madax, "none of us
knows. The business is done through
tho Tokyo and Jamboree bank, but we
don't know who is behind it. "
"Now doesn't ic strike you that the
first thing for you to do is to find out
who you are butting against? If it's a
stone wall, the sooner you know it the
better, so that you can stop before your
head gets hurt. If it's a hedge, you
might manage to get through. It would
have been my first work to find out who
was against me. "
"But," said her husband, "don't I
tell you that I didn't know there was
anybodv on the other side of the mar
ket?"
"Oh," saki his wife impatiently,
'you can always count on somebody
being on the other side of the market.
So you can't find out who it is?"
"We can't," said her husband.
"Very well," she said. "Now listen
tome. You have got 25,000 in this,
and if you can get all the money of Sir
Caesar and his friends to help you, I
will guarantee that you will come out
with double-that is, 50,000."
"Do you mean it?" cried her husband
eagerly.
"I mean it," said his wife solemnly.
'And may I tell Sir Caesar that you
said so?" he asked.
"No. "\Vhatever information I wish
Sir Caesar to have I will give him my
self. You will tell him that you have
had private information and are not al
lowed to mention the dealer's name."
"Very good,"said Madax with an
intense relief in his face.
"Do not let it get out, " continued
his wife. "Use all your force and see.if
you can raise the market, and as soon
as the price gets up sell out at once.
Have all your plans made for selling
out. Promptness is the thing in these
matters. Now I must go. I will drop
you down at your office. "
Mr. Madax knew what his wife said
about the markets generally came true,
so he, in great jubilation, telegraphed
Sir Caesar Camp and others to Lieet him
at his office, and they did so. He told
them that ho had private information
about the market, and, after some slight
hesitation, they all went in. He ar
ranged with them that the sale would
be made at nncc after the rise.
Next day it was announced that a
million of money was put against the
corner and wheat sprang up a few
points, but not as much as they iiad ex
pected it would. Madax could have sold
out without loss, but saw that he would
not double his money, lor the corner
was stronger than any of them had
thought, hut after the slight rise down
went thc price of wheat again. The
very bottom seemed to have dropped out
of the market. Madax's :>:>, OOO was i
swept, out of sight, and so was the mil- I
lion that his deluded friends had put in
with him. All confidence that Madax
had put in his wife had now departed,
so hf merely telegraphed tn her that he
was ruined and went home a broken
man.
About 8 o'clock that night carriage
drove up to the door, and ii is wife
sprang out and let herself into the
house with her latchkey. When she en
tered the rcom, her husband never looked
up, but she crossed to wheie he sat and
patted him gleefully on the back.
4 'Come, come, my poor infant. Cheer
ll. I* NIH III ? HIM . ???????III*.Milli .H H..-? ???-".. mt
^latlaxs only answer was a groan of
anguish.
"And co your little twenty-five thou
sand has goue with the rest?'1 she said.
"You told nie I would double my
money," he said," and I believed you. "
"Of course you believed me, and here
it is," she said, taking a check from her
purse. "There's my check for '50,000;
so you have doubled your money."
"What do you mean by that?" said
her husband, looking up.
"Mean? You poor child! I mean that
I am the head of your corner. It doesn't
matter now who knows it. That was
the reason I had Sir Caesar and the
others dining with me. I had no idea
that you were on the other side, and
when you told me that you could get
them to assist, it seemed too geed to be
true, for I did want that million. Hus
bands are cf some use, after all. Now,
my boy, you take that check and go
down to Monte Carlo. I may be able to
go after all this work is over. I am
very much obliged to you for the mil
lion you threw in my way and consider
it cheap at 50,000. Draw on me for
all your expenses while you are at
Monte Carlo. I am sure you will find
the tables much less expensive than the
London wheat market. I am sorry that
I can't stay with you, but I am on for a
dinner in the city. Those who were
with me in the wheat corner are giving
me a dinner tonight, and I am due
there at 9 o'clock. I am sorry I can't
wait to see the children. Give them my
love and tell them I will run down in a
few days and pay them a visit-that is,
unless you take them with you .to Monte
Carlo. It must be lovely down there
just now. Well, ta ta! Take care of
yourself and your check. I may see you
at Monte Carlo."
! And with that she left the room and
was waving goodby from the carriage
window as the dazed man stood watch
ing her through the open dcor before
he had quite realized the situation.
THE END.
Fleet of Foot.
Captain H. L. Scott of the famous
Seventh United States cavalry relates
some marvelous tales of the powers cf
endurance and fleetness of foot of the
members of L troop of his regiment,
which is composed of Chiricahua Apache
Indians from Arizona. He relates that
on one occasion a full grown and able
bodied deer ran through the cavalry
camp, and instantly, with a series of wild
yells, the Indians gave pursuit on foot,
and by exceeding swiftness and skill
they actually ran it down, caught it
about nine miles from camp and brought
it in unharmed.
On one occasion nine of them were
returning to camp, after a full day cf
hard work, riding upon a government
wagon drawn by a mule team. A coyote
was seen close by the trail, pursuing a
young calf. Instantly the fatigues of
the day's labor were forgotten, the dus
ky driver, in his wild enthusiasm, even
forgetting the team, and the whole gave
chase, and after a wild, yelling, scram
bling chase of two hours the wolf was
captured, tied, gagged and packed into
camp. Tho mules had meantime quietly
and decorously wended their way to
camp.
This seems strange to the average
paleface, and the Sioux look upon these
wonderful feats as something approach
ing the supernatural. This, in short,
indicates the difference which different
methods of life, pursued through genera
tions, makes in people of the same gen
eral race. The paleface would fall by
the wayside in a mile, the Sioux would
shrug his shoulders, grunt and lie down
or would fly to his trusty pony, on
which he will do more work probably
than any other man living, without re
gard to the character of his mount -

The Pope's Garden.
At the last, opposite the iron turnstile
by which the visitors are counted, there
is the closed gate of the garden. It is
very hard to get admission to it now,
for the pope himself is there almost
every day when the weather is fine. In
the Italian manner of gardening the
grounds are well laid out and produce
the effect of being much larger than
they really are. They are not, perhaps,
very remarkable, and Leo XIII must
sometimes long for the hills of Carpi
neto and the freer air of the mountains
as he drives round and round in the
narrow limits of his small domain or
walks a little under the shade of the
ilex trees, conversing with his gardener
or his architect. Y'et those who love
Italy Jove its old fashioned gardens, the
shady walks, the deep box hedges, the
stiff little summer houses, the frag
ments of old statues at the corners and
even the scherzi d'acqua, which are lit
tle surprises of fine water jets that un
expectedly send a shower of spray inte
the face of the unwary. There was al
ways an element of childishness in the
practical jesting of the last century.

How Salt Waa Formerly Made.
The art of making salt was known in
very early times to thc Gauls and the
Germans. The process was very simple,
for they did nothing more than throw
the salt water on burning wood, where
it evaporated and left the salt adhering
to the ashes or charcoal. The ancient
Britons probably extracted tho salt by
the same method, for in the Cheshire
salr springs pieces of half burned wood
have been frequently dug up. The Ko- j
mans made salt a source of revenue (540 j
years before the birril of Christ Part i
of the pay of the Roman soldiers was |
made in salt, which was thus called j
salarium, whence we derive The word ;

Remarkable Eighteen Letter Names.

SYMPATHY.
I looked into baby eyes of LI-JO,
While my thoughts wore far a'.vs y
Into beautiful orbs in whose liquid light
Shone a life that was bounded by play.
Eut a grieved look came to tho rosy lips
And a cloud o'er the ns:rous ey s,
As earth darkens when hideth the sun god away
And obscured is the blue of the skies.
I smiled in the dear little, pensive fac ,
But she gave mc no answering smile.
And I wondered-when down o'er my cheek ran

That had filled my sad eyes erstwhile.
And I thought how strange that the baby eyes
Should behold what the world could not see,
For the wisc had replied to the smile on my lips,

HOW WE GET OUR TEETH.
It I an Interesting; and Somewhat
Complicated Operation.
An eminent dentist is authority for
the following interesting explanation:
It would take too long to describe
the formation of the teeth, but it may
interest you to know that the enamel
is derived in the first place from the
epithelium, or scarf skin, and is in fact
modified skin, while the dentine, of
which the bulk of the teeth is com
posed, is derived from the mucous lay
er below the epithelium.
Lime salts are slowly deposited, and
The tooth pulp or nerve is the last re
mains of what was once a pulpy mass
of the shape of the future tooth, and
even the tooth pulp in the old people
sometimes gets <<uite obliterated by
calcerous deposits. The 32 permanent
teeth arc preceded by 20 temporary de
ciduous or milk teeth.
These are fully erupted at about 2 or
2-/2 years old, and at about G years of
age a wonderful process of absorption
sets in by which the roots of the tem
porary teeth are removed to make
room for the advancing permanent
ones: The crowns of the former, hav
ing no support, become loose and fall
away.
One would naturally suppose that
the advancing permanent tooth was a
powerful factor in the absorption of
its temporary predecessor, but we have
many facts to prove that it has no in
fluence whatever. Indeed, the interest
ing phenomena of the eruption and
succession of the teeth are very little
understood.
I may remark in passing that a child
of G, who lias not yet lost any tem
porary teeth, has in its jaws, either
erupted or nonernpted, no fewer than
52 teeth more or less formed.

An Exciting: Adventure.
I had an exciting adventure while I
was engaged in superintending the
laying down of water pipes in Queens
land. After work was done for the
day I went up the surveyed course for
the pipes to see that it had been clear
ed for the digging of trenches next
day. The pipes, huge iron tubes two
feet in diameter, lay scattered about.
I was alone, but suddenly I heard a
tremendous roar, and looking up saw
a great herd of cattle stampeding down
upon me. Before I could get out of
their way they would be upon me, so
I crawled into one of the pipes.
On came the thunder of thousands
of hoofs, and thea a mass of rearing,
maddened cattle swept past my place
of refuge. Scores of them stumbled
over the pipe in which I lay, and those
which fell were trampled to death.
When the herd had passed I crept
out and found seven dead cattle about
the pipe.-Stray Stories.
