CHAPTER I.
1,, TASTE OP RICHES.
Is wonderful how little benefit some
men derive from a good morality and a
totual philosophy. Defective observation
lead* tbe best philosophy astray, and allows
virtue to grope in vain for its reward. The
good man who avoids evil only because he
does not see its allureanents, will also miss a
great deal which is both desirable and per-
teliwible in this world.
With so much by way of 'preface it may -
be safe to say that the young man who
will now be introduced bad led an exem-
plary life without finding any satisfaction
in it, He had taken for his gniding.
rale the advice of Schiller that happiness
is to be found in the daily per-
formance of a taek of routine, It will be re-
membered that the eame eminent gentleman
advised writing with, one's feet in a tub of
ice water but most Of us do not like it
There is, however, a great deal of value in
the routine ideai but :the trouble with it in
pracdce isthatmany people do not know•
what to occupy themselves with after the
daily teak is done.
William 'twat' was one of these. He had
held. a clerkehip for eight years on a slowly -
increasing salary, and had been temperate,
Irtigal; and industrious. He had as much in-
terestin his work as if he had been a car -
home; but he would rather have been em-
ployed than idle. 'Thinking he regarded as
an unsafe occupation for a man who knew
how to analyze the facts of existence, as he
did. That MIS the trouble; he knew how to
analyze them but he didn't know the facts.
He had. long ago given Up ambition, friend-
ship, love, and many other sweet and profit-
able things because he regarded them as de-
Judo:oft
Then came a day when he began to regard
theconsolations of his daily task of routine
as deltacions also. Ile was as good a temple
of the discouraged young man as could bare
been found in New York. He had hitherto
maintained a certain contentrnent bolstered
up by prejudice in favot of hie own philo-
sophy; and when this thin support gave way
there was no raending it. About this time
Russell lost his clerkehip, naturally enough,
perhaps, for a man it tharconditlon of mind
is -not a valuable employe. He did not re-
gard the leseeof the position as a calamity,
.and he made no attempt to get another. He
simpiy lived on his sniall saVings without any
plan whatever for the day wben they 'should
be gone. If any suggestion Of a life worth
striving for should come to him, he would
awaken his energies; if not; they should sleep
He occupied the time in strolling about
the city studying life in various forms. In
reality he knew but little of what was going
on in the world. He bad given most of his
leisure to books, and had continued studies
Of a philosophical nature which he had be -
:gine at college. He cultivated he acquain-
Unce of few men and no woniete There was
not a angle household in the great city where
lie was evera guest. If there hadbeen doubt-
less he would have obtained new nnt1 better
ideas of many common comforts and plea-
sures. But his early life had been so unfor-
tunate that he had no recollections with
which to stimulate a desire for domestic
scenes. Indeed it was his special infliction
that he had no desire for anything.
The impression made -upon such a man by
a first sight of the interior of the New York
stock exchange was wonder that the game of
stooks was played with so great an exercise
of physical activity. He had expected to see
a cairn, cool-headed assembly of gamblers,
and this is not what the stock exchange looks
like from, the gallery, on a lively day: It
bears more rasembIance to a foot -ball match
where the crowd has broken upon the field
with the intention of killin the referee.

His attention Was distracta from these
ideasby the seund of a convey -ation behind
him. Three or four young len whom he
immediately placed in the moral Wall
street class, were talking in au animated
manner on general topics far 1 emoved from
business, and better still, f -oat politics.

All the stoels before,the lunch counter were
occupied, and a score a men waited for
PlaCeS, tarjwrhunerily over the shoulders
of these who wereb being fed. There was
the same rush and bustje as in the stock ex-

hhn, and not upon the man who ate the
pie.
An unprejudiced observer would have said
that there was no cause for complaint. The
mem on the stools ate filet enough. Indeed
It seemed as Ira nothing but choking to death
could &ITV° from dying of indigestion. Quick
feeding has been brought to such a science
in New 'York that the philanthropist might
well doubt which to pity more, the rich who
eat so much in a minute or the poor who eat
80 little in a year.
The small tables in the Cafe Napoleon
were besieged almost as hotly as was the
lunch -counter. But Russell succeeded in se-
curing a seat opposite a rusty old fellow who
had just ordered a piece of apple
pie- and a glass of milk. Behind
Russell . were the four young men whom
he had followed into the cafe. He
duplicated the order given by one
.A. LUNCH COUNTER.
of them, and thereby laid himself liable to
the proprietor of the Cafe Napoleon • 1 the
sum of 84.75. This lunch was the fir ex-
travagance the young man had corair 'tted
in a good many years. The pint Of good
wine which was included in it was the first
he bad ever tasted, He enjoyed the experi-
ment thoroughly. He was glad that he had
decided. to be a rich man for half an hour.
By and by the rusty old -fellow finished his
pie and milk, and departed. Russell learned
who he was by a remark made by one of
the young men. _
"Did you see old Gilbert Ray, take his usu-
al frugal repast!" were the -Words he, over-
heard. 'We will leave four millions for his
' heirs to quarrel over, and las chief regret
vvill be that he can not remain to take part
in the controversy,"
"He didn't leave any of that pie," raid an-
other. aI -watched him chase the last little
piece of crust all over hieplate. He couldn't
get it with his fork—had to shovel it ai with ,
his knife.. I figured that his income while he
was chasbeg it would buy a carteload of pie."
"He isn't a bad old fellow after all,"
said the first speaker. "the story is that he
started on a hundred dollars and had to bor-
row that. But he paid it on time end kept
his credit up. • There's the whole secret of
many a man's life on. the street. If half of
the younger men down. here had to settle at
a minute's notice the other half would go
broke on aceount of their bad debts. Its a
borrowing game."
Russell heard this and muttered to him-
self: "I should like to negotiate a small
loan and get into it." Tehe atmosphere of
the place and the food, and especially the
wine, were beginning to have an effect upon
him. He wanted to continue, the experi-
ment.
"I am not prepeeied to believe," he said to
himself, "that thil "eywould be termanent-
ly agreeable, but a nhour of it is too little.
I would like two y ars. I believe that if I
could borrow the life of one of those young
fellows for two years I should know a great
deal more at the end of that thne than I do
now, and should beiwilling to give it all back
to him When it wah. data I should like to
make a contract with the devil te that ef-
fect."
He looked about him as if he expected the
fiend td appear with a document ready for
signature but no each phenomenon occurred.
The slight odor of rimstone in the air proa
ceeded from a match with which the yotmg
marl behind him wa s lighting a cigar. Wheth-
er the contract was signed elsewhere may be
a matter of controversy. If so, it bore the
date May 12, 1688.

The action was a art of his as.smned charac-

But thee gloom . speculations were mere-

The influence of n w ideas and a good meal
triumphed over C espondency. Already he
was working out t -le &pile of a scheme full
of novel expedenc s and large profits. Gil-
bert Ray had b • eon life • with a borrowed
lumdred dollars, and was worth millions.

lend him a hundre dollars, but he thciught
he could borrow a quarter somewhere. With
that in hand, he n ight bormw a half dollar;
pay thequarter, a d.then borrow a dollar to
pay the half. Th possibility of such a pro-
greesiou evidently depended upon the careful
use of each sliceesCve loan, and if the series
were. earreel far enough it would end in
riches and an estal liShed -credit.
• The wine of the Cafe Napoleon must have
been strong, f6r 11 ie scheme looked .pla.uble
