CHAPTER xxx.-ExEuNr.

The man descending the stairs had hesitated,
and his hesitation had lost him. Had he made
a dash at Mrs. Sidebottom and Salome, swept
them aside and gone down the passage to tne
garden door, he would have escaped before
Philip entered. But the sight of Mrs. SIDE
bottom, her vehement demand for her money,
made him turn from her and fly into Mrs Gus
worth's room. Thence he, no doubt, thougn1
to escape to the garden through the WINDOW.
For some moments, after Philip appeared
and Mrs. Sidebottom had told him that the
swindler was in his house, all three-he, Sa-
lone and Mrs. Sidebottom. stood in the hall,
silent.
Then a servant, alarmed by the CRY, appeared
from the kitchen. and Philip at once bade her
hasten after policeman.
Salome laid her hand on his arm and SAID,
supplicatingly, mo. Philip; no. please"
But he disregarded her Intervention, and re-
newed the command to the servant, who at
once disappeared to obey it.
Then he strobe toward the door leading to
Mrs. Cusworth's apartments, but Salome. quick
as thought, threw herself in his way, and stood
against the door with outstretched arms.
mo, Philip; not-not, if you love me-"
"Why not?"-spoken sternly.
"Because-' She faltered, her face bowed
on her bosom; then she recovered herself

~ know, know he is" she answered timor-
ously.
"Oh, Philip, don't mind her. He will get
away, and he has my money!" entreated Mrs.
Sidebottom on her part.
''Why do You seek to shelter himp asked
Philip of his wife, ignoring the words of his
aunt.
81 cannot tell you now. VIII you not trust
meP Do allow him to escape"
"Salomep exclaimed Philip in such tone as
made her shiver, it expressed SO much indigna-
ton.
She could say no more in urgence of what
she had asked, but looked at him steadily with
her great imploring eyes.
Mrs. Sidebottom was not silent; she poured
in discharge of canister, and was cut short by
Philip. who. turning sternly to her. said:
81 request your silence. The scoundrel can
not escape. The windows of both rooms are
barred, because on the ground floor. He can
not break forth. 1 have him as in a trap. 1t is
merely a question with me-which my wife
must help me to decide-whether to burst open
the door now, or wait till the arrival Of the con-
stable
Then Salome slowly, with heaving breast, and
without taking her eyes off her husbands face,
let fall her arms and stood back. But even
then, as he put his foot against the door, she
thrust forth her hand against Mrs. Sidebottom,
and said: mot shel No, Philip, as you honor
mel If you love me-not sheT"
Then be turned and said to Mrs. Sidebottom:
"Aunt, must ask YOU to remain in the hall.

She t0ttered to the door.
Mrs. Sdebottom, with kindled suspicion, rose
also and deserted an unfshed egg and some
buttered toast to go after her. Salome had
opened the door and passed through. Before
she could close it behind her, Mrs. Sidebottom

Business in All Branches Shows Large
Gains-The Building Boom Setting in

Early-shturday's Oil md
Stock Quotations.
There was no striking change in the busi-
ness situation last week, except further
depression in iron caused by the cut of the
Thomas Company. Stocks were generally
weak and dull, the majority of the list clos
ing at decline from the opening prices.
Petroleum was weak and feyerish, but
closed steady. with indications of an i'm
provement. Rules for trading in futures
were presented and discussed, and will
probably be adopted. Real estate was
active, a number OF important sales being
consummated. Money was a trife tighter,
but the supply was sufficient for all require
ments. The Clearing House report showed a
large gain over the corresponding week of last
year. Business in all lines of merchandise was
active at full prices.
sixty-five building permits were taken out
last week, chiefly for dwellings in the outer
wards and suburbs the total cost being esti-
mated at S1T6, ,235. The largest was by the

IhAH1Eh AAlA-hENONN1l1ON
In one of his essays, Goldsmith relates the
anecdote of a painter who set up a picture in
the market place, with pot of black paint and
a brush beside it, and the inscription, PLEASE
indicate faults"
When in the evening he revisited his picture,
he found it smudged out effectually, as every
one had discovered and marked out blemish,
Next day he set up a replica of the picture,
with paint and brush as before, and the in
scription, please indicate beauties"
By evening the entire canvass was covered
with black, Everyone had found a beauty,
where previously everyone had detected a
fault
great forum, and without inviting, expects
criticism. The printers ink is alwa VS. avail
able wherewith to draw attention to his de-
fects. In Goldsmith's apologize the critics
found beauties. in the present they see only
blemishes, which they dab at venomously,
and the sorrowful author sits at evening over
his despised and bespattered production, be-
wildered, and ashamed to find that his earnest
work, that has called out his most generous
feelings over which he has tagged and worn
himself, is a mass of blunders, tissue OF faults.
Now, one of the salient defects in the work of
the author of this story, according to his re-
viewers. is that he makes his personages talk
more smartly than they would naturally. But,
he asks, would it be tolerable to the reader,
would it be Just to the printer-to force upon
them the literal transcript of the ordinary con.
versatioR that passes between people every day.
When we were schoolboys we had a pudding
served to us on Wednesdays which we called
milestone pudding, not because it was hard,
but because it was plum-pudding with mile

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Tropical fruits show the greatest activity in
produce lines. Lemons and oranges are NOV.
ing out freely at advanced rates. Advices from
New York are to the effect that there will be
further advances at an early day. A leading
dealer said to-day: II would not be surprised to
see lemons go up to IS box before July. But
ter is quiet at quotations. Eggs are steady.
New cheese is improving every day in quality.
An advance is reported from the East and a de.
cline in the West. Prices here are unchanged,
demand and supply being about equal. A
scarcity of strawberries is reported for day
or two past. There was an overdose in the
early part of the week, and shippers were dis

Coffee options closed strong in New York
with firmer feeling than at any time during
the week. The tea trade for April shows de-
cline of 8, 900 packages as compared with the
previous April. There has been talk of boom
In tea, but it has not yet materialized. Congos
are up &c in England. Of the trade here moth
ing more can be said than that prices are fully
maintained and that the drift is upward.
