One of the best stories now being
told about Mr Yerkes, the American
millionaire who is going to convert
the London Railway into au electric
"tube" is that which relates to a
most generous act he once performed
in the Quaker Oity. When Mr. Yer-
kes rose to the zenith of his power
and the height of leis wealth, one of
the first things he did was to pay a
visit to Philadelphia, the city where-
in previously one of his best friends,
had net with financial disaster. M.
Yerkes invited all his old friend's
creditors to a magnificent dinner at
the leading hotel, and when the re-
past was over he presented to each
guest a cheque for the amount of his
original claim., with 6 per cent. com-
pound interest.

day, The pootinau had come up to
the house a littte while ago. but he
had brought no letter for Ala Tre-

news apparently, for the poor eoul

She was rtill ereing, standing at

But Mrs. Markham did not want
any money. Her only two troubles
were lest she might not find her
e ister still alive, and lest Martha,
ter help in the kitchen, should fail
during her absence in cooking chops
and steaks. From one of these
anxieties Mr. Trelawney did what he
could to relieve her ; for the relief of
the other he could only give her his
grave good Wishes.
About a. week had passed after
this clay, when one afternoon a
knock came to the study door, and,
on Mr. Trelawney calling to the
