CHAPTER XVII.
aN ATADNT

Within atwelvemonth of his marriage Philip
had been given one of the purest and best Of
the joys that spring out Of matrimony-a child
q boy called after his own name, Philip; and
the father loved his first-born, was proud of
him, and was fearful lest the child should be
snatched from him. AS Polycrates was rem
dered uneasy because he was SO powerful, rich
and happy, and cast his most precious jewel
into the sea as gift to the fates, so was Philip
inwardly disturbed with a suspicion that the
gloomy envious rates which had harassed him
so long were now only playing with him, and
would exact of him some hostage. What
would satisfy them? His commercial pros
perity?-his child?-his health? In vain did
Polycrstes seek to propitiate the fates by
casting from him his most precious ring. The
ring was returned to him in the belly of fish,
and XII ngdom and life were exacted of him.
"Inever did understand what became of part
of your mothers little property" said Philip,
one evening when alone with Salome; "and
think it odd that your mother should be re-
served about it to me-"
"Oh. Philip! 1t does not matter. After all,
it is only ESQ, and the loss is mammals, not
yours"

CHAPTER XVIII,


Philip insisted on Mrs. Sidebottom seating
herself and giving him as connected and plain
an account of the loss she had met with, as it
was in her power to give. But to give a con-
nected and plain account of anything affecting
the interests deeply is not more easy fer some
persons than it is for tlpsy man to walk
straight They gesticulate in their narration,
lurch and turn about in whimsical manner.
But Philip had been in solicitors office and
knew how to deal with narrators of their
troubles. Whenever Mrs. Sidebottom swayed
from the direct path he pulled her back into 1t;
when she attempted to turn round, or retrace
her steps. he took her by the shoulder-meta-
phorically, of course-and set her face in the
direction he intended her to go. Mr.. Smithies
was man in whom Mrs. Sidebottom professed
confidence, and whom she employed profes-
slonally to watch and worry her nephew; to ex-
anime the accounts of the business so as to

"Oh, Smithies has done nothing himself.

"What company"
'Ohl don't you knowf The Iodinopolis

be a most successful speculation. 1t had an
Earl at the head. The company proposed to

houses, hotels and churches, high and low,
make great harbor, and Beaple Yeo-
"Who?''
"Beaple Yeo the chief promoter and secre-
tary and treasurer pro tenn. The speculation
was certain to bring in'25 per cent and he gave
his personal security for H."
And have you much capital in this con-
cern?"
"welI-yes. The decimals grow thicker on
this part of the coast than anywhere else in the
world, and the decimals have an extraordinary
healing effect in disease. They are cast up on
the shore and exhale a peculiar odor which is
very stimulating. I have smelt the decimals
myself-no, what am saying. 1t is iodine not

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
Mrs. Sidebottom and her son. Captain Penny

death Of Mrs. Sldebottom's half-brother, Jere-
miah Peunycomeduick. The latter is in love with
his niece, Salome ellsworth, who lives with him
Jeremiah Pennycomequick, while walking at
midnignt is overtsken by flood from a bursted
reservoir. He and another man, who is half
clad, seek refuge in hut and Jeremiah wraps
his coat around his companion. After the flood
subsidies body is found which is identified by the
card case in the coat pocket as that of jeremiah
Pennycomequick. Philip Pennycomequick is
telegrsphed for and arrives. A will Is found
making SalOme ellsworth her uncle's heiress, but
the document has been invalidated bv tearing of
she signature, Mrs. SidebottOm declares that she
will not respect the wishes Of her dead half
brother, as expressed in his will. In the mean
time jeremiah PennycomeQuick, who was not
drowned, has been picked up by coal barge.
SalOme thinks she sees the ghost of Jeremiah
Pennycomequick In the house. Philip Penny
cOmequtck takes charge of his uncle's mill and
insists that Salome and her mother shall remain

cepts him. thinking that he loves her. Jeremiah
Pennycomequick hears Of the proposed marriage

reappearance at his home would force Philip TO
return to his drudgery ana penury as a lawyers
clerk. Philip confdes to his mother-in-law that
he hates Earl Schofeld, who is responsible for his
fathers ruin, at which Mrs. ellsworth becomes
confused and uneasy. Jeremiah is approached by
Beaple Yeo, fluent fnancier, who is about TO

quietly and happy year slips quickly by.

STILL IN THE SWIM.
Business Hereabout Holds Its Own, aud
Considerably More-Large Gains
Over Last Year-saturday's


Closing Quotations, Etc.
Business last week was so good, notwith-
standing the protracted holiday at the Ex-
change that even the chronic growlers had
nothing to say except in commendation.
Stocks at times showed retiring DISPOSE
tion, but they 6rmed up and closed at about
the best prices. Sales for the five days fell
but little short of 5000 shares, of which
Philadelphia and Wheeling Gas and La
Noria contributed about one-half. Petro-
leum suffered relapse and finished weak.
Lima oil is what allied it. iron failed to
respond fully 10 the hopes of the makers,
but there was more inquiry and a better
feeling. Real estate was strong and active,
with growing demand for suburban lots.
There were 220 transfers, involving nearly
81, 100000. Jobbers report a good country de-
mand and fair movement of the staples in
that direction. Collections were easier.
The building industry holds its own--and a
little more. Forty-four permits were issued
last week, the total cost Of the houses being
estimated at Sl4S, 700. The two largest were by
Brown, Werner & Co.. one for l3 thre.-story
DIlck dwellings, IN the N1neteenIn WarQ and the
other for eight dwellings of the same material
and size in the Twentieth ward. About 200
permits were taken out last month. Pittsburg
is growing.
That some of the banks are closely loaned up
does not by any means imply that money is be-
coming scarce. 1t is still loaning as low as "
az per cent in New York and 5@6 here, with
much more offered than taken. Everything
points to an abundant supply at low rates all
summer.
The following table shows the prices OF active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.
Corrected daily for THE DISPATCH by Whit
ney & Stephenson, members of New York
Stock Exchange, 81 Fourth avenue:
